Did anything of planetary scale happen in the last 1.5 days ?

[airwaves]

Time is not speeding up; time is actually the same as it always was. It is us, in our ever increasing consciousness, that are moving through time at a quicker rate

You will note that this change in consciousness takes place according to the Mayan calendar's bifurcation points. Funny you should note this the day AFTER we just crossed another threshold!

This is not only my first post in quite awhile but possibly my longest ever.

I to have felt as if time has been speeding up lately even with full knowledge that it is not. It feels more as if I just take everything a little bit slower, with a little more thought, a lot of times completely spaced out after the train gets derailed, lol. Sometimes it feels as everything is passing by as if it is a movie in the background with the volume lowered. What is funnier to not is that I seem to be keeping up just fine with little to no effort. I have a fairly busy schedule yet it all gets done nearly effortlessly. Feels good man.

Ah, but I digress, I had a very funny(to me at least) experience pertaining to the bifuracation points on the calender you mentioned. It was at a party that was being thrown for one of my friends, we were celebrating his birthday.

It was at my friends birthday party that I came across his uncle. A man of around 55 years of age and a self described "hardcore catholic." There was a minor amount of drinking and i would say that he was on the better half of sober. We had, for an hour and some change, a very lively discussion. It started off on politics and soon touched on every subject from human rights to the act of creating some wonderful cuisine.

But it is the last half of this conversation I would like to touch on. Somehow, I honestly cannot remember, we managed to delve deep into religion and spirituality alike. I am one who is very apt to share my beliefs with all those who will listen, but I thought it wise to tread carefully around the subject with such a faithful catholic for peace keeping reasons.

Cautiously , I informed him that I could not bring myself to subscribe to any one religion nor did I much approve of the way that most are run. Mentioning the crusades got him a little worked up, though having read the bible I was able to quote a few passages to calm the nerves. When we finally reached the subject of "Armageddon" it really got interesting. Being a Christian in general, he tends to lean toward the idea of a vengeful god. In his thinking, those that are "left behind" will go to "hell" for their sins. Now this is where I really revved up, for by this time I had already got him on board with the idea of reincarnation, in that it allowed people to come back and continue working on their spiritual evolution so that they may reach heaven.

So I ask him, "But what if, this hell is just a way to describe being left behind to continue lessons of the spirit so that they may grow enough to eventually reach heaven? What if those that don't "graduate" simply continue their lessons so that they can get to heaven when the correct point in consciousness is reached? Would you not consider it a hell to be left behind for more lessons as your family moved on to that grand place? What if you were moving on to heaven as they stay behind for more seeking? My friend that is the only hell there is to face."

I was absolutely astonished at how much of the LOO he was able to not only digest, but accept. I was in fact thanked for imparting my knowledge and it was commented that I was very wise for my age(22). By the time I had finished I had an audience of three other people, with none arguing with me, only posing further questions.

It was amazing! In that it was a congregation of older folks and none seemed to be at odds with me. More so, they seemed to take in the views for themselves, having found a way to link it to their life long religions. With good reason to none the less.

Never have I spoken of the LOO at such length anywhere but here, and at no point in time did I directly mention the LOO. I simply found ways to link the general beliefs of the LOO to Christianity and in fact, most other religions that I am knowledgeable of.

I am not necessarily proud of having changed a few people's opinions, but the way that it was done means that the seed must have been there already. To me, this speaks to a very large change indeed. A very good one, in that one or more less people believe that the majority of the planet will burn in hell when the time comes, lol. I am looking forward to 2012, no matter what, it should be very interesting.

Anyway that is some of my recent fun
