Recent Outbreaks of Complacency (Page 2 of 2)

Ah yes, good ol' Benjamin Creme!  As I recall, the "Day of Declaration,"  where Maitreya was to reveal himself through a global television simulcast concurrent with a telepathic message to each and every human being, was to occur by late 1998.  Then of course it was by 2000. 

The predictions will always hold a special place for me, as it was my first real experience with Internet disinformation tactics.  It came at a time when I was profusely reading Alice Bailey, et al., and was flirting with a "Fourth Way School"  that turned out to be rather cultish.

The interesting thing is how all these avenues of disinformation converged upon me at the same time, in effect keeping me from blindly tossing myself headlong into any one particular stream, as they all conflicted with each other.

I was first exposed to Zetatalk in '03 (I think) amidst a whirlwind of predictions about the return of Planet X.  I've since used that site as sort of a gold-standard for disinformation techniques.  It is really quite educating when looked at from that perspective.

What has always striked me as odd is how these various sources of disinfo will make bold predictions, and when they don't come to pass, nobody will so much as simply acknowledge  that they were wrong.  It's just off to the next prediction!  Even more curious is how their followers will continue to allow themselves to be herded along into the next pasture without so much as a peep of dissent.

The whole Planet X, Nibiru, Wormwood thing is a topic that is also very close to me, and has served as a reminder that there is some type of higher force guiding my life.  I very clearly and distinctly remember when the newspapers  came out with the announcement that they had discovered the 10th planet, and then just as suddenly the reports disappeared.  Poof!  Not even a statement of retraction.  This was in 1983, and I was just six years old.  I didn't at the time have any clue that disinformation was even possible!

[BTW, I've just received a very interesting and highly referenced report on Planet X which included much of the government's 'plan' for dealing with this possibility.  If anybody is interested, email me and I will send it to you]

Another little disinfo site I like to keep tabs on is www.nibiruancouncil.com where proprietress Jelaila Starr periodically posts updates supposedly from the Nibiruans themselves.  I've written several emails to her in response to her articles, but have only received one reply where she got a little hot and bothered that I would have the audacity to question anything that the Nibiruans have to say.  Interestingly, some of the ideas that she claimed were incorrect found their way into one of her updates not too long ago.   

Exactly.  I suppose there is a higher purpose working itself out through those individuals holding each end of the spectrum in place so others can more clearly determine where they stand.

I don't buy it either.  However there also seems to be a dynamic involved where things shift on a more subtle level long before they manifest physically, sometimes by several years.  So perhaps people are sensing that at a core spiritual level the battle has already been won, and now it is just a matter of grounding and externalizing those changes.  On the one hand it can be beneficial to develop a strong sense of faith and trust, but on the other, it's so easy to slip into blindness.

What I have also observed is that every time I choose to move forward with my own progress, others around me make similar choices, and to a large degree these people aren't even aware as to very much outside of their own personal dramas.  I've found that taking action in my own life does orders of magnitude more for others in terms of 'waking them up' than attempting to educate them through words alone.  I am seeing a lot of relationships splitting apart, people relocating, and lives being reevaluated and restructured accordingly.  I do have faith that, in some seemingly inexplicable way, everybody will be in their proper places when the curtain goes up for the last act.

Which is exactly why when I observe a window opening, I do what I can to make others aware of the possibilities.  At least it can serve as some form of external verification for what people are sensing internally, and can provide some impetus for taking action.  But, as you said, it is critical for each of us to follow their own natural sense of timing.  At the same time, each window of opportunity missed will make the final transition more drastic and traumatic for those involved.

At some point a window will pass where it will no longer be possible for people to make the transition and remain incarnate, and according to some sources, making the transition requires having a body.  I suppose that is all part of the larger plan as well.  In eternity, these times in which we live are but a fleeting moment, but nevertheless a moment unparalleled for spiritual growth, and so I believe we would all do well to take advantage of it while it is here.

I, for one, would hate to look back upon it and know that I allowed complacency and indecision to get the better of me.  There is always the danger of being too hasty, as I have definitely found through experience, though I have also found that it is far easier to slow things down once begun, or to make adjustments in direction, than to speed things up that have gotten behind.  In the first case, the force of inertia works in your favor, while in the second, it works against you, and oh what a force it can be!

I'm reminded of the Ents hem-hawdling about taking action, meanwhile Saruman's forces are taking the axe to their forest. The dark side is mobilizing, there's no doubt about that.  Perhaps, as in LotR, hastiness will turn out to be the negs' own undoing in the end, but it won't be before those of the light get up off their bums, march right up to the gate, and take a stand.

Seeing how I referred to "whats going on in the world" as "mainstream news" I misinterpreted your meaning.

But with your post below I understand what you mean and I will answer these fun questions, as I have been thinking along these lines myself.

Well, in the summer of 2005 I moved into a off-campus housing, where I am currently renting a room.  Intrestingly enough the lady who owns the house has been "in the spiritual game" for over 20 years and has books upon books and a vast knowledge about the nature of reality, God, the Illuminati etc... basically everything we discuss here on NR.  So of course this is fasinating!  We are always discussing spirituality and we're both on the same wavelength also.  (eg. reading the same books without knowing it)

I am attending my first year university, and people are behaving and talking about everything mainstream really.  Constant chatter. Party this and party that.  Aside from my philosophy class, its seems (from my perception) that people are really energized but their focus isn't in the present moment.  So thats what I see with people my age and this particular university. 

As for the relationships I have with the others around me.  I have developped some new relationships as I change, and the old ones either fade because we no longer resonate together.  So yes, it seems as I change, my external relationships and physicality change.   

As for the NR question, sometimes Ill look at each post individuality, but actually in this thread, I have been looking at it as a whole.  It seems like the information just flows down the page.

Now, at this point in my life, I feel like I don't know anything, except the fact that I'm working on myself to feel this state of bliss and enlightenment.  I'm reading books, practicing disciplines, policing my thoughts, listening to audio files of people talking, reading some more, and I do hear/read opposing ideas, and do not know what to make of them.  I have amazing experiences here and there, and for some reason I feel like I want something big to happen already (should I feel this way?).  Sometimes I dont even know where I am as the world feels very odd and weird and doesn't make sense!  If someone has any insights on my particular world view and current 'situation', it would be very much apreciated.  And thank you for these excellent questions!

Thanks

There is a great discussion on this thread, worth checking out again.  I personally do not have the belief that all anger is the merely ego getting slighted; and therefore unbeneficial.

Doc Mercola just posted this video which has quite an inspiring moment as documented in the animal kingdom:
