End of the world or a new awakening?

I watched a History Channel thing on youtube a few days ago. It said that the winter solace will put earth into the position of Aquarius, which will be the first time in something like 25,000 years. Now I'm not much into astrology, but I've have heard cops say that there are always more murders and arrests during a full moon, so maybe there is something to this.

There has also been some buzz lately about a new awakening and a mass shift of consciousness, 11:11, and 4th and 5th dimensional thinking. Again, something I know very little about.

Any thoughts? Will the world become a better place? Will it get worse before it gets better? Or should we go out partying like the rockstars we wish we were?

Matt, I'm looking in your direction.

Well, it was on the History Channel, so it must be serious.

Some sort of global paradigm shift as we move into an era of peace and understanding rather than the hate and conflict we've been living in for the past however many thousand years.


Apparently. Sounds nice.

Yes.

The real answer, agent77, lays not in asking the questions, but in making them so.

It sounds wonderful. But is it possible? It is, but you know how that goes.

Yes, it is. Its just a slow going process. I see more and more people waking up every day. Thats a good sign, to me, that we're on the right track.

On a global scale I'd say neither, However, I will say that it starts with each individual. If you want to change the world it starts with you, plain and simple. Do your part and who knows.

You mean the Alchemy and Astrology Channel?

Yeah, it's probably aliens.

Re: the title question- we can only hope.

Personally, I think we're due for another ice age and it wouldn't be a moment too soon.

Didn't someone mention the dumbing down of the populace in another thread? This thread moves us another step in that direction. Also, there's never been any proof that the full moon affects arrest rates, emergency room visits or anything else. In fact, recent studies refute the whole concept.

Seriously, you have no idea how much I think and pray for something like this.

Oh god, that means...

THAT MEANS....

That means there's only going to be about half a dozen people at work because everyone else in my floor is taking the day off as part of their Christmas break.
