Hi Lucien, I believe, the shift in conciouness has already begun. I believe we are NOT doomed. The new age or new era of energy is slowly being filtered through now, but at the same time we need to cleanse the earth, so yes, volcanoes, tidal waves earthquakes are all apart of mother earth changing her energy, shaking it up so to speak. i believe we are living our destiny now, our destiny means nothing its our journey that matters. Its like reading the last page of a book first!!! Or never reading the rest, just the last page. It means nothing if we have not gone through the journey. Love and Light, cant wait to read your thoughts.
