So, as I sort-of brought to our collective attention the other day, and as we knew before, things are pretty insane. Also of note is the fact that the clocks are being changed FOUR weeks earlier than usual this year. I think that’s quite a leap, huh? Proof that our calendar (interestingly enough known as the Gregorian) is pretty much out of synch with time. But you could come to that conclusion by paying attention simply to the weather.

Anyway, I think this all falls into the 2012 realm. Things are speeding up, and the closer we get to the center of the spiral, or the end of time, or whatever, the more history seems to recapitulate itself… Look at our current political situation, and how it eerily mirrors MANY periods in history. They say history repeats, right? Well, I think that’s right-on, more literally than I was brought up to perceive.

I’ve been mulling all this over in my head, trying to figure out my connection to it all. I think much of what’s happening is so grand in scale that we can’t really concern ourselves with it without getting frustrated. Instead, it might be better to focus on yourself and that which is immediately surrounding you. I often feel very negative impulses when I come up against the “big stuff”, i.e. anything related to Bush and Co., the environment, or whatever else. When I think about the little picture, so to speak, I am moved to propagate optimism and positivity.

I think we should focus on energy, and raising energy levels inside ourselves and around us. This can be accomplished by having good intentions and treating yourself and others well. Write nice notes to people, or whatever comes naturally, just do it. Don’t expect anything in return. Just know that you are raising the energy frequency in the field surrounding you.

2012 is coming, its less than six years away. The best thing we can do to prepare is raise our energy levels and frequencies. We are lucky enough to have found each other, and I don’t think it’s any coincidence.

We must be pillars.

Remember when we linked arms in my barren living room in Tivoli? Remember when the lightning struck?

Ok, let’s recap some just three recent news stories, shall we?

Putin blasts U.S. for ‘very dangerous’ foreign policies, undermining global stability

U.S. accuses Iran over Iraqi roadside bombs

Bush is building a $592 million new embassy PALACE in Baghdad

Hm. I don’t think I even have to spell it out.
This shit makes me want to commit serious acts of vandalism.

I wonder what in the world could possibly piss off the middle east more than a giant fuck you castle with a US flag on it in the middle of Baghdad?

Probably nothing.

Prepare for eschaton.

P.S. !!! one more – Chilean Military Admits: UFOs EXIST!

fucking INSANE.

Right now I feel as though I’m living in an empire that’s about to fall. I think that everyone in this society is in severe denial over what’s about to happen. I know that I’m in denial when I’m talking about the world situation and then I steer the conversation towards my favorite TV show or all the shit I’m going to buy when I’m older and rich.

I don’t think our future will play out at all like it did for our parents. I’m not sure what we’re in store for, but I sincerely doubt it will be anything like the affluent, stable, and peaceful future of American freedom we’ve all been promised. In fact, I think it may be the exact opposite of that. And it’s so interesting to watch the denial. We all just keep doing what we’ve always been doing, as if the shit’s not about to hit the fan, even though what we’re doing is partially the cause of our downfall and maybe, just maybe, it’s not too late to avert disaster.

But is is too late to avert disaster because our actions have momentum. Even with a conscious effort to change things, it will take too much time. We’re in a luxury car, music blasting, doing drugs, laughing it up with our friends, heading straight for a cliff.

How will we ever solve the prisoner’s dilemma? There is a solution; it’s when we all realize that we can survive better if we actually look out for each other. Since this method of being if more conducive to survival and reproduction, ultimately it will be the one we become. We just need to reach collective evolution; think of a body, the cells all work together. What if a cell group decided to do what’s best for itself and fuck everything else? Well that’s called cancer. It happens, and when it happens it usually kills the body. The earth is the body we are a part of. At this moment we are cancer, but can cancer learn to be benign. I hope so. All we have to do is work together, love each other, and we can be a fully functioning body as opposed to the tumors on a sickly dying body. What future do you want? Think it can’t happen? We used to be monkeys; it can happen. Technology can help. Evolution is far from over. We will evolve or we’ll die. Make your choice. It’s up to us.

Right now I feel an ominous sense of doom. This country is screwed, the world is screwed, we’re in for one hell of a century. Where to begin? Global warming is melting the ice-caps faster than anyone expected. Sea levels are going to rise fast. We’re running out of oil and we don’t have a good alternative to take its place. energy prices are rising and they’re only going to get worse, especially because of new demand from China. America is in an enormous amount of debt and we have no way of paying it off any time soon. The government is slowly but surely eliminating our civil liberties. There is a ton of animosity towards this country all over the world. And we’re in a quagmire in Iraq that wont end for a looong time.

So let’s sum up: loosing the major source of energy, loosing a ton of land on which to live (due to rising sea levels), loosing our rights, loosing our economy, and being engaged in a perpetual war. Yes it’s easy for one to get depressed in the face of all this, I feel like I should encourage people to be optimistic, but right now I don’t feel very optimistic. Then again, the only possible way to get ourselves out of any of these predicaments is to get off our lazy asses and do it ourselves. A good place to start is WeAreGod.org since getting people to stand up and do something is exactly what they’re all about. The world is in a bad place, we must do something about it!
