Default Re: What is 2012? (or "The Great Harvest")

Hi Sanat

Thank you for your reply

I hadn't heard of 2012 when my alarm clock went off. When I found it my jaw was scraping the ground for many a month.

This is merely my observation and it therefore may not be a view that is right for anyone else, but as I journeyed along, acquainting myself with everything from Ascended Masters to conspiracy theories and hundreds of things in between, a couple of things became recurring themes as time went by; fear and judgementalism.

I noticed how so many views are based on fear and initially, I didn't escape this either Eventually, I also discovered that for every view and arguement there existed it's equal, but opposite view. I also realised that it has it's own kind of addictive element. When fear and worry hit, you search for a solution by finding someone else's view in order to support/negate the first one. You desperately want to know - but when all is said and done, what you have is the view(s) of someone (or many others) whom you do not know and therefore cannot be sure of.

I also discovered that initially, I was a little too quick off the mark to judge other people. Again, this wasn't from a place of personal knowledge, but of contrasting and comparing the 'views' that came from elsewhere. Or by seeing a 'good' or a 'bad' event/person.

In the end - and after more personal auditing that I care to remember, it really came down to the fact that the world was perhaps not all it seemed. I don't really care to turn on the 'Illuminti' channel for the latest news anymore. It doesn't really affect me when and if I do - I've already got the gist. If I happen upon it, it's main benefit is that I get a self-check on whether or not it can create any reaction in me.

Some may call this being an ostrich - I would say the opposite. When you know the general gist and lose your attachment to the outcome, you begin to live in the 'now', rather than an unknown future.

I came to PA because I wanted to start a self-sufficent retreat - perhaps to aid the many who are truly frightened. I thought perhaps I might glean a thing or two about how to grow the odd carrot or raise the odd chicken
That kind of thing, anyway. I'm wholly dependant on the mainstream way of life and wouldn't have a clue how to step off the merry-go-round in the 'basic needs' kind of way.

The forum has evolved in other ways and that is fine.
