With so many visions of chaos, racial wars and ruination in the near future, and survival plans in place for when things go down, can we change direction with belief that everyhing will be okay after all - that people and government will wake up to a renewed sense of self and spirtual awakening? Or are we headed for this major shift regardless of positive thought? I'm so confused by it all - if we count on everything being okay, while visions of disaster continue, how will we be ready if things really do collide?

All things exist in potential. Where we focus our efforts and actions dictates the actual outcome. Belief without action is just a word. Act with the intent of benefit for all and harm to none produces the best result.

Just used light hypnosis and automatic typing to write the above. Hope it made sense!

Very well written, Ian. It makes a lot of sense to me. In our society today there is too much focus on the negative and not enough positive thoughts. If more people focused on change for the better the energy will grow and bring about change.

Shannon, I do agree, it's so hard not to focus just on the "bad things." As I work through the "pre-grieving" it can be completely consuming. But still I pray each day for the positive, for more people to open their hearts and minds, in the hopes things to come can be minimized. If they can't be minimized in some way, then at least more will be prepared.

My efforts and actions are focused on information, awareness, and prayer. It's what I can do, all I can do. If each of us does what we can, who knows what potentials we could influence?

Yes!

I've had an incredible day today - beyond words.

But a book review brought me to an exerpt and I've had this, personally happen, so I know it's real.

There are some rough visuals so if you can get past those and on to the end, this ironically answers the question as to why this particular clip found me...

This is from "Saved by the Light" the Dannion Brinkley story.

If you can fast forward to 2:13 on - that is the part that has been playing over and over again, at least in my mind/Soul.

I was actually getting ready to go work out and I started searching this.

I don't know the details of this story, but from 2:13 on is what I have had shown to me in my own life. So, the answer, can we change the future? You bet!

I'm fairly certain that's why we are all here. And if enough love comes together, that can counter futuristic events.

Side note: I didn't and don't claim the "dead for 28 minutues thing." Just siilar visions and message.

I think the entire experience lasted about 20 minutes, but I was emotional afterwards.

Crossing over I want to say, maybe 5 minutes or less.

There's another exerpt...I'll try to find it. But they say "This need not happen." That's why in my own experience, at least what was told to me, why I had to come back.

O.k, this is it.

Like I mentioned, there are some rough parts in this, but try just to hear the message, "This doesn't have to be."

Dannion Brinkley Changing Future

"Who you are is the difference love makes."

This is also a message here. If I could clip and re-present this I would. But this is what I feel compelled by in bridging, "real" issues and not continuing silent resentments.

Keep in mind this is a movie and I'm sure things have been exagerated. Scaled down, very similar.

for Shannon, I do not think that we can change the future by wishful thinking.

We can change our own future by our thoughts and actions. Everyone has to do their own work. You cannot do someone elses work for them but they can learn from you though observation and modeling.

If there is enough momentum by all the people of the world working out of consciousness and love and fairness then things would shift. The only way to get there is to be one who shifts first. Don't worry if others follow or not. If you shift yourself it will no longer matter anyway for you will be exactly where you need to be and be joyful in that and there will no longer be fear or worry or need or wish to change others.

The need to change others is what creates war.

Shannon, I so understand how you feel about all this. It gets confusing for all of us at times because there is so much talk about it and so many different opinions.

I do not turn a blind eye to it all, but I do try to avoid all the deep discussions about it. "How will be be ready if things really do collide?" That is difficult to answer -- for how can we be ready if we really do not know what will happen or when it will happen or even if "it" will happen.

The best thing to do is to make sure our household has enough freeze-dried foods, or other dried/canned foods that have a shelf life of at least three months and there is enough food and water for everyone in the household to last at least three months. Some dried foods that can be ordered online have a shelf life of fifteen years. I have tried it and it is pretty good -- eFoods is one site to check out. A long-term supply of food and water is always a good idea in good or bad times. Just rotate the foods so the oldest is used first.

As far as wondering what, when, and if, I live each day as best I can and do what I can to help others spiritually. I guess I have the outlook of Kalidasa:

The Salutation of the Dawn

Listen to the exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this day, for it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In it's brief course lie all the varieties and realities of your existence;
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And Tomorrow is only a Vision;
But Today well lived
Makes every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn.
