Interesting stuff.  I am really struck by the similarities between Handbook for the New Paradigm Volumes I-III, the C's transcripts, the RA material, David Wilcock's channeling, Patricia Cori's channeling, Allies of Humanity, and Bringers of the Dawn.

As I have mentioned in previous posts, the above-mentioned material also correlates very well with aspects of the Book of Revelation in the Bible, and Mayan, Incan, and Hopi prophecies.  Terrence McKenna's timewave zero model which culminates on Dec. 21, 2012 is another similar model.

Then you can add the rate of change on the planet that we've already seen, including environmental, social, technological, and economic trends, and it's really starting to look like the world of the near future may be experienced as one of increasingly rapid change.

The number of people who I know who take an active interest in the range of possibilities described in the above sources is not so large, but it seems to be rapidly growing.  The number of people signed up on this board and contributing posts is one indication of this.
