I understand how people can feel totally down and hopeless right now. I have a few things to say to that, and a few things to say about whether 'prayer' works or not.

---

I am a twentysomething who has no savings, do not own anything worth anything (just a bunch of books and clothes), all I have is my family and friends whom I love dearly. I have been on this rollercoaster ride just like everyone else, wondering if it's all over, if there's any point to trying, etc. I know what it's like to feel desperation. I know what it's like to feel as though there is nothing you can do.

THERE IS.

I do not understand the point of view though, that because it appears as though the future is set in stone, therefore I should not try to change it. I should not do anything, I should not try to do anything, I should feel sad and hopeless because that's how things are.

Ok! But even if you feel that way, you should still TRY to improve things in whatever small way you can, even if the chance of having an actual effect is next to zero!

If you believe you CAN'T do something, then you CAN'T! If you won't even entertain the possibility of something GOOD happening, then how will you ever expect to feel good again??

So, basically, my point is, even if you think THE WORLD IS ENDING, HOPE ANYWAY!

Intend for peace, intend for an end to conflict, feel the peace NOW.

And for those who believe our 'prayers' have no effect - there are a LOT (a lot a lot a lot) of scientific studies done to demonstrate otherwise. Again, The Intention Experiment by Lynne McTaggart occurring this whole week is BASED on that research! Prayer = intention. Check out the website for more info: http://www.thepeaceintentionexperiment.com/

Whether you believe it or not, who is it hurting if you TRY?

If you don't try, and it IS true, isn't that worse than if it's NOT true and you DO try???

Anyway.

I feel as desperate as everyone else, but I am not going to give in to the doom, I do not believe that 'what's coming is coming', and I will not give away my power. This is way too important to give up now.

(I apologise if this comes off harsh! I'm just really passionate and I really do wish to encourage people who are reluctant/fearful/disbelieving to please, please do it anyway.)
