Hell in a handbasket

Time acceleration
Think of time as elastic. "The amount that has to be thought about and acted on in a short space doesn't seem to relate to actual clock time. Time is anything but static. Have you ever been in an accident? did you experience time slowing down as you had nanoseconds to respond? Everything becomes extra slow, allowing thoughts and actions 'time' to prevail. Or when you're totally engrossed in something, time seems to disappear."

Synchronicity
A person's experience of two or more events happening simultaneously that are unrelated by cause and effect but which occur in a significant manner.

When we are on the right path, even if we don't have a clue what that path is, when we are being true to ourselves, living authentic lives, synchronicities occur with increasing frequency.

Notes on the Tenth Insight, sequel to the Celestine Prophecy

"He was voicing the Fear."
"I think the danger is that a lot of people are beginning to believe it is happening."

Voicing the Fear, based on revelations, the End Times, and the 7 years of Tribulations that are supposed to follow the Rapture. - Earthquakes, rising sea levels, destruction of cities, economic crisis, rioting and crime.

any of that sound familiar or have you not been paying attention to what is going on in the world? And I don't mean the Rapture itself, I mean the world in general around us.

Thoughts are things, witches, Pagans, magic users and many others have known that for a long time. There could well be a great danger in a large number of people becoming convinced that the world is coming to an end in 2012, or whenever - if enough people hold to that belief then we might just bring it to pass as a self fulfilling prophecy.

There is too much going on right now for me not to accept that something is coming, something is going to happen. In 2012? maybe, maybe not.

Not to mention all the other things potentially going wrong in the world right now, and for those who hold to such things whether with belief, interest or mere curiosity, 21 12 2012.

Do I think the world is going to hell in a hand basket? yeah pretty much. Do I think the world will end? No. And not just because I refuse to buy into the Fear and create a self fulfilling prophecy.

Do I think the world as we know it might end/change? Yes I think it's a distinct possibility for oh so many reasons. There is too much going on right now in a shorter and shorter space of time, from natural disasters, to man made ones, to economic crisis, pandemics, to name some. for a start there are only so many disasters that relief agencies can deal with at any one time - especially since even when a disaster falls from the headlines, agencies are still working to help people survive, thrive and rebuild - it's just old news. Resources, both for disaster relief and generally, can only stretch so thin and so far. Eventually there will come a breaking point. Something has to give, more than it already has, given that the distribution of everything over the world is unfair already, else there wouldn't be millions of people starving and lacking clean water - but it's going to get worse.

Saudi Arabia is already running out of water having drained its non replenishable aquifer to the point where it will, in a few years, no long be growing any wheat for its population and will be importing it all based on oil money. But that wheat they import has to come from somewhere, and mean less wheat for other people....

I think something has to give, sooner or later. And if one thing, or country, goes under it's going to have a knock on effect that will reach all the way around this globalised world of ours. Maybe not today, Maybe not this year, maybe not in ten years, but it'll come. More and more people seem to be awakening to the idea that "something' is going on, that there are an increasing number of disasters, severe weather storms, heat waves, and everything else, that they are occurring with greater frequency and affecting almost every area of the world. No-one is immune from the possibility of something happening. Denial is not an option if we want a chance at a future, a better future.

Information and action are the antidotes to worry and fear.

fight the fear, don't feed it, don't let it paralyse, else the world that we fear might just come to pass. Back to thoughts are things that can take on a life of their own. Each of us has to find our own personal vision that sees beyond the Fear, and helps bring about a world worth living in afterwards if we do reach breaking point and face the end of the world as we know it (TEOTWAWKI)
