Or is it just me?

No matter where I go, I have a feeling (about the world) that something is wrong, or missing.

Is the world going downhill? Or is it just me?

Yes. If you read your Bible you would have known that it was going to happen.

I actually believe we're at the cusp of a second Renaissance. With all of this technology and new ideas, we're just beginning to realize our potential as a civilization. Sure, we have wars, and global warming, and RIDICULOUS, SOARING OIL PRICES THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO BE THAT HIGH... sorry...



but we are becoming closer together with things like the internet. I've probably never met you, and I probably never will; but if I do, we may never know that you asked this question and I answered it.



If fact, we could be on opposite sides of the world right now, and yet still we can communicate. Such a thing would be almost impossible 100, 50, or even 20 years ago.



Medicine is getting more and more advanced every day, we have cars that can drive for forty miles without a single drop of gasoline (the Chevrolet Volt, coming out in 2010, I believe), we have HD televisions, central air, jumbo jets, computers... I could go on and on...





Is the world going downhill? I think not. I mean, if you want to see the world going downhill, check out the dark ages... not good... not good at all...

Jimmy Jenkins needs to learn how to read. Because this obviously has nothing to do with religion. I can't really say the world is going down hill. Just because the USA isn't doing so well, doesn't mean places like china are flourishing. But on the other hand just like Rome, we are getting obsessed with luxury and power which leads to corruption and lack of intellect. So i would have to say yes the world is going downhill, but no it is not going downhill fast. Civilization has survived this long and his been through worse things, so one day we will flourish and be prosper again.

The world has it's ups and downs (just look at America during the 20s VS the 30s). Though you my friend have to look at the little things in life and apprieciate them. Stop looking at the war or crime or global warming, ect and just sit back enjoy the sunshine, get a nice drink and hang out with a loved one. Go for a walk and just look past the homeless and grafitti written walls and take notice of children playing in a park or an old woman's flower garden. Nod to people you pass by and say howdy every once in awhile to strangers, you never know it might brighten up their day as well. Hell, just smiling more can actually make a person a bit more happy. Really the world is as bad as you see it, if you just focus on the negatives in life you're going to miss out on some of the small wonders in life.

Life is periodically evolving in cycles. When it goes up to the extreme, it will go down. This is called the Law of Periodicity. And it happens in cycles. Take a look at the stock markets, you will understand why the markets go up and down and repeat itself in cycles.



So our world is also moving uphill and downhill over a long period of time. It goes uphill when mankind is spiritually pure. It goes downhill when mankind lose its spiritual inclinations and go for worldly pleasures and attractions.



We are certainly going downhill in the current era.

Yes the world is going downhill and the bible tells you that it would go this way when it is near the end.

I hear a lot of Americans say that, but the world has always been a sh!tty place. I just think it's the air of superiority we used to have wearing out, and with good reason. It's delusional to think that the events happening are somehow new or different.

2012 Unlimited philosophy

1. Humanity and Planet Earth are currently going through a huge change or shift in consciousness and reality perception.



2. The Mayan civilization of Central America was and is the most advanced in relation to time-science knowledge. Their main calendar is the most accurate on the planet. It has never erred. They actually have 22 calendars in total, covering the many timing cycles in the Universe and Solar System. Some of these calendars are yet to be revealed.

3. The Mayan fifth world finished in 1987. The sixth world starts in 2012. So we are currently "between worlds". This time is called the "Apocalypse" or revealing. This means the real truth will be revealed. It is also the time for us to work through "our stuff" individually and collectively.

4. The Mayan sixth world is actually blank. This means it is up to us, as co-creators, to start creating the new world and civilization we want now.

5. The Mayans also say that by 2012-

- we will have gone beyond technology as we know it.

- we will have gone beyond time and money.

- we will have entered the fifth dimension after passing through the fourth dimension

- Planet Earth and the Solar System will come into galactic synchronization with the rest of the Universe.

- Our DNA will be "upgraded" (or reprogrammed) from the centre of our galaxy. (Hunab Ku)

"Everbody on this planet is mutating. Some are more conscious of it than others. But everyone is doing it" - Extraterrestrial Earth Mission.

6. In 2012 the plane of our Solar System will line up exactly with the plane of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. This cycle has taken 26,000 years to complete. Virgil Armstrong also says that two other galaxies will line up with ours at the same time. A cosmic event!

7. Time is actually speeding up (or collapsing). For thousands of years the Schumann Resonance or pulse (heartbeat) of Earth has been 7.83 cycles per second, The military have used this as a very reliable reference. However, since 1980 this resonance has been slowly rising. It is now over 12 cycles per second! This mean there is the equalivant of less than 16 hours per day instead of the old 24 hours. Another intrepetation is - we, or rather Consciousness have been down this same road seven times before over the last 16 billion years. Each of these cycles of Creation runs 20 times faster than the last one. The same amount of Creation is paced 20 times tighter. This is why time seems to be going so fast. It is not "time" but Creation itself that is accelerating. (see Mayan Calendar Central)

8. During the Apocalypse or the time "between worlds" many people will be going through many personal changes. The changes will be many and varied. It is all part of what we came here to learn or experience. Examples of change could be- relationships coming to an end, change of residence or location, change of job or work, shift in attitude or thinking etc.

9. Remember, in any given moment we are making small and large decisions. Each decision is based on LOVE or FEAR. Choose love, follow your intuition, not intellect and follow your passion or "burning inner desire." Go with the flow.

10. Thought forms are very important and affect our everyday life. We create our reality with thought forms. If we think negative thoughts of others this is what we attract. If we think positive thoughts we will attract positive people and events. So be aware of your thoughts and eliminate the unnecessary negative or judgmental ones.

11. Be aware that most of the media is controlled by just a few. Use discernment! Look for the hidden agendas. Why is this information being presented to you? What is "their" real agenda? Is it a case of problem­reaction­solution? Do "they" create a problem so that "we" react and ask for a fix, then "they" offer their solution? The "solution is what "they" really wanted in the first place.

12. Remember almost nothing happens by accident. Almost all "events" are planned by some agency or other. Despite this, it is a very exciting time to be alive!

The truth shall set you free!

Are you feeling the Quickening?

The Shift of the Ages has already begun!

Ancient prophecies predicted it. Indigenous traditions honor it.

Changes within the Earth are affecting our sleep patterns, relationships, the ability to regulate your immune system and your perception of time. We are living a process of initiation that was demonstrated over 2,000 years ago, preparing you to accept tremendous change within your body.

That change is happening now.

SOME POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF THE CHANGES

* Migraine headaches, tiredness

* Electrical sensations in the limbs and spinal column

* Cramps in the muscular networks

* Flu like symptoms

* Intense dreams.

* The human body will become more sensitive as a result of the new vibrations.

* The resonance of Earth has been 7.8Hz for thousands of years. Since 1980 it has risen to over 12Hz.

This means that 16 hours now equate to a 24 hour day. Time is speeding up!

* The physical body has already begun to change. A new light body is being created.

* Our DNA is being re-programmed from the Universe (as predicted in the Mayan Prophecy).

We are going from 2 strand back to 12 strand DNA.

* Greater intuitive and healing abilities will emerge.

* Eyes will become cat like in order to adjust to the new atmosphere and light.

* All newly born children will probably be telepathic at birth.

* All plagues of the 90's, including AIDS will be gone.
