The world won’t listen to what it doesn’t want to hear, Dexter Phillips tells us. Ask any environmentalist, ask any doomsayer about the economy – people do not want to listen to anything that affects the status quo, to anything which might disrupt their comfort.

But what we have to tell them is huge, the news we have to announce to the world is immense – and for that reason alone it won’t be listened to. The powers that be will just see this strange little community, a commune, a strange cult. You can see the words which will be thrown about already, we’ll just be another band of cranks. Even those out there who are similarly having these dreams will be encouraged to laugh at us. Nothing will happen if we tell the world, nothing all.

As such we have to accept that what we’re dreaming is going to happen and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. And with that in mind we have to be in the right place when it happens.

So what are we going to do about it? What are we going to do with the fact that we thirteen are seemingly the only ones who can see the end of the world is very nigh? Dexter Phillips has become much more gnomic about this, wary of opening his mouth to any pronouncement. He stares at us, he nods knowingly when asked, but the great schemes he talked of before we got here seem to have temporarily gone quiet.
Why that is I don’t know, and it frustrates the hell out of me. Forget the economic crisis, Barclays Bank or any of the other nonsense I see in the news these days – something truly serious is about to happen.
