[metaw3]

I'm one of those people who can't afford to relocate, whether based on prophecies or on the simple fact that living in a remote self-sufficient community with like-minded people would be saner. So I live where I live, like you said, and that's it. I have debts for ten years onward, I can hardly pay my bills and I'm looking for a job. I'm surrounded by people who have no idea that something is wrong with the world, including my family, girlfriend, and closest friends. I slip a wise remark now and then into the conversation, but the level of awarness is so low here that such a remark can't possibly trigger any awakening, not as long as the local day to day life goes along undisturbed. In my case, waiting for a prophecised date is kind of like hitting the snooze. You know you have to get up eventually, but if you try and wake up people, they get mad at you since they don't really have any reason for waking up yet. So you read this or that prophecy and you think: there's the date. That's the wake up call! And you hit the snooze until that date. And the date goes by, and nothing happens, so you read more prophecies, you pick another date and hit the snooze again. Until you realize that you might as well sleep all the way, no snooze, and have kind of a lucid, active participation in this manufactured dream. By "participation" I mean act as if this dream will never end, go along with the program, do what your family and friends expect of you. Even if it's vain, should any global awakening happen, at least it's not disturbing, and it's way better than to hit the snooze alone. Of course I'm still snoozing, otherwise I would not write here, but I'm seriously wondering about that lucid and active participation...
