boo!

i only watched about 20 minutes of the video and decided to turn it off. the sad thing is, deep in my heart, i know what he is saying is true...

i try very hard to be optimistic about the future, working together towards unity and solving the current challenges we face. this is what i spend most of my energy on. with that said, i also realize that for this "new world" to be born, the "old world" must "die". and all the happiness and good feelings that come from that majority focus can be quickly overshadowed by even 20 minutes of "tough truth". but thats ok, because i've learned from you, the members of this forum, that i can channel these "tough feelings" into something useful for my personal growth.

the harsh reality is that we are in for some rough times ahead as the old structures are tore down. spending too much time thinking about this will only lead to depression. sure, i'd like to see the greed dissipate, but when that happens, there is sure to be some suffering; and not only will it be felt in the us, but all over the world. along those lines then, i think of those people in the world who are trying their best just to get by each and every day. how much more can they take?

i guess the saving grace is that while we are aware of this possible near future, we are also looking beyond, into the creation and dawning of the new age. again, spending too much time focusing on the hardships to come will only make that reality stronger, and we'll miss out on the wonderful things that are happening now. the key is that when these things do start happening, we will be prepared in advance and be able to "lighten" the impact on not only ourselves, but those around us. and if we're able to do this in our communities, then our communities can band together, and on, and on...

i think back to what's been said many times on this forum... let it be. there's no need in trying to stop this, because that would only extend the injustice and suffering; delay the birthing of the new age, unity consciousness, oneness...

so i guess i'll be spending the rest of the day "saying goodbye" to those things i won't be needing in this new world we're trying to usher in. you'd think i would have already done that, not so. for surely, if i remain tethered to some of my current reality, i'll only be making things more difficult on myself when the time comes...

thank you for reading. sent with positive intentions, believe it or not. glad to be here learning and growing with all of you - we'll need to draw from the collective energy of the "awakened" when times are rough, so that we can keep our heads above water and ours eyes on the future.

humbly yours,

p.s. - i haven't read his e-books. i'm sure there's some great information that will reinforce my current understandings. however, i'm not sure thats what i need at this point - more reinforcement of things i already know... maybe its time to stop preparing and start doing?
