I think this notion is pretty much the notion (or the desire) of all of us here.
I personally feel this strongly. it might be a child like desire but i do want a total change, and the destruction of the old.
regarding Zietgiest Addendum, i felt they where talking about a progressed shift (remember the flower that opens up?)
not a one day doom that will change everything we know.
it's like the change in conciseness, 10 years ago i read books on the matter of ego, free will, the power of now, stilling the mind, energy feeling and so on.
I couldn't really understand what i read but i felt a certain truth in it.
today, i can understand (know in the biblical sense) some of those things and as i progress i experience them more and more.
if the change will be too drastic alot of people will not be able to cope with it. that is why spiritual practice is so important.
we need to know ourselves (or at least to know that most of the time we are not ourselves) in order to be ready to awake.

I agree completely.
i meant that most of the time we don't have the capacity to have free will.
our mind is full of old paradigms and blockages and our ego self is controlling us.
Most of the people are unaware that they are in the jail of the mind and desires, therefor without a true free will.
I do feel that we are on the same page and i enjoyed elaborating this with you.
i also thank you for improving my English skills (what would i do without the right mouse button dictionary...)
peace and love
