The problem with technology is not to have it, but to worship it like is sacred. When you advance technologically but forget the Spiritual completely you have unbalance that will manifest one way or the other. When I speak of Spirituality I'm not talking about religion. Technological advancement comes with an inherited responsibility that I think we are not willing to assume. In the name of technological advance we destroy the planet resources, we profit on poverty and desperation and we use it mainly for war and weapons. So again, it is about "Self" service, corporate profit, power over the weak. So shit happens because we need that balance, and it will continue to happen until we open our eyes, accept the responsibility and we start using technology for peace, in resonance with nature but most of all with the good of all concerned in mind.

Very well said! Two thumbs up!

at least that is how nostradamus put it.

Yes he did!

Very nicely said! I think much of the website does indeed recognize the shift in mankind's thinking and the planets on going climatic changes! I don't believe the world will come to an end in 2012, but that new challenges will confront humans and a new age of group think will ensue! The recent scientific research into the coming mini-ice age is just one catastrophic development man will have too adjust too. Therefor I posted this article to inform people of the bombardment we will experience with all kinds of scenario's about 2012. The Earth does go through geological changes that are as natural as human death and birth cycles, recent solar activity could be the norm that triggers ice ages like our planet has endured from the start of geological time. If those solar periods are responsible for the melting of polar ice caps, the massive trillions of gallons of water displaced from such melting can effect the whole planet as too what the new geographic map of land masses will change. The theory of such an amount of fresh water entering the Atlantic conveyor belt will shut down the gulf stream that has supplied northern Europe with an acceptable climate for agriculture for thousands of years. Thus the last mini-ice age lasted for two century's, many millions of people at that time died from disease and hunger. Now that we have new means for feeding the masses and the ability to relocate populations that may be displaced, a catastrophe of biblical proportions can be reasoned out by modern man.

I agree with you. With all of the economic, environmental and social upheavals we are now seeing, I too believe it will lead us to a place where a new mindset will have to be taken to survive, and that will kick in. An harmonic convergence of sorts, where the negative aspects of what we face will force us to deal with our humanity and morality in order to survive, and from that the crises we face will take on a new meaning as we use them to bring about a positive new age. This is why we need to understand climate change, because we can do something still to mitigate and adapt to its effects. This is why we need to understand ways of sustainable agriculture, water conservation, respect for indigenous lands and peoples, and an inherent respect for the ecosystems that sustain us. These systems in line with the inner reflection we will be forced to have will lead us to a day when we see the world in a whole new light in using technology for the good of mankind where it is best served in harmony with the planet. We can reach gnosis as a species... it is up to us... we have a choice... and that is the good news.

Nicely said Jan! We have not been good stewards of the land and have lost our connection with the harmony of mother nature! Maybe this time it will be a planet awakening and a true new age of reason! If anything we have brought a natural cycle closer by emitting our pollution into the lungs and natural breathing apparatus of mother earth.

Eloquently put. And like you said it all boils down to our choice on an individual level. Each of us needs to look within to raise our awareness or vibration, if you will. This allows people to realize how to live their life to their utmost joy or excitement. If one can accomplish this feat, then anyone around you will be strongly influenced and allow to follow. So give humanity a push in the right direction, humanity needs to address issues on the personal level to begin to effect anything on a larger scale. My goal is to have atleast a 5 acre farm running according to the principles of permaculture, with the implementation of aquaponics, structuralization of water, biological architecture, and several types of solar and geothermal energy inputs. This seems to be my highest joy and know I will follow that path to allow the betterment of mankind, simply by providing an example.

What a noble beautiful goal. I wish you the best with that. I don't have land or I would do the same (a biodynamic farm would be my dream) but I do support those who sustainably grow our food and who work to conserve our water and ecosystems ( which I do to the best of my abilities every day) and will continue to use my words and my love for Earth in any way I can to move into that right direction. And choice is exactly the key word to get us there especially now as we as a civilization are indeed at a crossroads. We know what each path leads to and have what we need to make it on the better path. Why we consciously choose the other path knowing what it will bring truly boggles my mind, but we will reach critical mass soon realizing the other way is the only viable way for survival. And though I do post here about threats to indigenous people and climate change, and news about what the world is going through now which may look negative, that is done to inspire that right choice. We must face the reality which is negative in order to know how to deal with it and defeat it. However, it seems there are many who simply do not wish to do this, therefore, stagnation. And this is where that moment of enlightenment comes in... call it climate change, peak oil, water scarcity, food scarcity, economic collapse, etc., but these are the signs we now must take into that introspection in getting back to what we were truly meant to be.

I think I'll ask the manager here at the apartments if I can build an ark in the parking lot!

I am betting it will be something that modern man can deal with, although the thought of continents sinking into the sea and old portions of land masses rising is a bit overwhelming.

If it is somthing we can deal with we will have to deal with it when it comes. We dont know what it will be so the only thing we can do is make sure we are prepared at the bare minimum, survival skills and equipped to kill whatever we may need to. I have been prepared for the apocolypse since I was a wee grashopper. But I kinda want a cataclysmic event that will decimate the planet and leave only the strong, its not that I would do it but if it comes I am ready, and the death of my debtors wouldnt be so bad either. Not to mention the joys of looting.

I am quite sure modern man will not throw spears at the sun or throw people into volcano's or cut their hearts out for sacrifice to the gods. But the pure massive global shift of inhabitable land will be a problem for many of us. I think we are both on the same wave length in twitching with anticipation of what changes are coming. It kind of reminds me of what it must have been like for the primitives when they witnessed a solar eclipse and started freaking out. We modern people's know now what an eclipse is and just take pictures, I think it will be a lot like that. We have learned a lot since those times and are equipped to deal with whatever comes our way!

I doubt human sacrafice will return but I do not doubt that society will crumble quickly if whatever event hits with enough force. That is what i am really looking for, the break down of all our structures and strictures. It will be about a man and his strength again, no longer will it be about your ability to use this and understand that but instead it will again be about your skills to simply kill and build.

That is a possibility, I think it depends on how fast whatever is coming gets here. Something of a pole shift comes too mind, that liquid chewy nugget at the center of our planet acts like a ball of mercury and may finished flopping all at once or over the next hundred years. And we cannot forget the trillions of tons of ice pushing down on the land masses at either end of the earth, that once it melts that said land mass will react in what way? Most of geographical land masses were formed from advancing and retreating glaciers in the past
and the evidence is all around us! It maybe a future of once again Nomadic tribes roaming the planet in search of food and shelter, strength of that tribe will truly be an asset!

I think my money spent will be on good hiking boots and warm clothing! And maybe some mountain climbing gear and too keep my Jeep in good running order! 4x4 driving capability is an asset worth keeping.

Whatever comes may come slowly, but that is not the possiblity i prefer to hope for. Whatever it is I hope it comes fast, and hard. Wipeing out coastal populations in hours and spreading to the rest of the continent leaving only the strongest and the smartest to fend for themselves. Our species needs an evolutionary bottleneck soon or we will not be storng enough to survive it when it comes.

Maybe Atlantis will rise out of the sea! Sudden and swift change will be an absolutely disaster! I've been investigating manny different sources as to pole shift, sudden ice ages, and many of the experts suggest a swift change is possible. That's one reason I posted and commented on the iceman found in I think it was 1991, he was carbon dated back 5200 years and was flash frozen. One show on natgeo went to argentina I believe it was and discovered foliage flash frozen 5200 years ago. Coincidence? I don't think so. These shows are fascinating and reveal we have gained so much knowledge over the century's and are learning at a very fast rate. Have we discovered what is going to happen and the experts just don't want to alarm the public so the chips fall where they will? I don't know, but we are living in exciting times for sure! Conspiracy theory's are there for a reason you know, to deflect truth and real public exposure! I think it is our duty too sort the crap out for ourselves sense that is all we are left with! Just the one big example is climate change, man made or not, evil forces continue to cloud the issue with falsehoods and schemes it's enough to make your head spin.

Hopefully you will be able to fix it!

Now that's funny!

Apparently they were only good at astronomy and human sacrifices.

everything happens for a reason

Thanks it's been corrected!

That's the way I see it! Something big, destruction of the world I think not but something.

Thanks! I thought so, as well!

I think the cosmic era of "SPAMSTORMS" is beginning. +^d

Oh, Oh, not the dreaded spam storm!

I don't think gravity will cease, a pole shift is highly probable!

I know you were being funny, after all you are Gravity-Man!
