Many debates have been raised around the issue of the year 2012...I'm not one for debating much, but... What is it in humanity that we (as a whole) are so caught up in that ties us to this place? How can anyone be so fearful of a date? Do we honestly believe that this one coming year will bring about the destruction of humanity and this world? How can we accept this as our fate so solemnly? Do we all feel that we really deserve for 2012 to be the end of all things? I can't believe that...This is one thing you all will see me stay optimistic about... I've been told that: "Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words are everlasting." I believe in the year 2012, but not as many see. I don't choose to see destruction and desolation. I refuse to look through time and see pain and anguish anymore. I choose to see a time of change. I have chosen to walk the path that shows me that there is far more to gain after the world passes and the dust settles. I walk a path of life above all things. Believe what you may, but I know that though the flesh may be cast aside and rot, the spirit transcends time and space. I want to believe in an existence after this place because I've seen it. I've been there, the place where everyone looks at each other as family instead of concentrating on the differences. No different beliefs, religions, races, creeds, we are all blinded to our own ignorance. I want to take everyone there. All 6 billion of you, to the place where humans transcend time and existence together in harmony. This world we created will never be that place, that is why it must be cleansed and regenerated, to fit us as we should be. 2012 should not be looked at as a time of despair, but as a time line for all of mankind to get where we must be. There was never any true need for violence or hatred in this world because we have ALL failed any existence we acknowledge as being higher than ours. We have all failed each and every test that has been put before us. Let's use the year 2012 as the time spread for us to arise and elevate to the plateau that mankind has been promised since time began. I hope we can do that before it truly is too late.
Reason for writing:
I believe in the power of humanity. 2012 should be a time of awakening for all of mankind to truth. I believe that we can elevate ourselves above our ignorance and indifference and look at all that we share. Instead of being separated, we all need to accept the fact that we're all here for a reason and it's not going to change. So, instead of tearing each other down, let's be willing carry one another as we should be.
