Do you think we're in the middle of a 'new age of enlightenment'?

reason could simply be the method or the "how" of something ;) .... shit happens for sure,

you implied that everything happens for an intended reason, not true.

Its like were just short of the path of precipice.Once we have reached it I can only see us questioning the begining at first.The precipice i refer to is,a balancing out,of the stupidity that has overturned humanity for the last oh id say 5-600 years.The question is will there be over-reaction?Will the ones who have power and the ability to actualy make a positive change in the world do so?Or will they apatheticaly slip into regression via wars and lustful greed.I hope they wake up and for short of better words ATM remove their heads from their assess so past mistakes are not relived.I hope for the better always.

Large groups, every individual... general agreements on general issues, working out details locally and in small communities ;). Has to start with the individuals, go up to world wide... and filter back down to small communities and individuals.

what needs to happen.... is people need to "cut the fat" "cut the bullshit" etc.

I thank the creators and Mother Nature everyday. Creators for bringing me into this plane, and Mother Nature for hosting me on this planet. Life on earth is so obviously just a learning lesson, and the lesson is love. We have to work through all the stages to reach unconditional love, and through all the distractions.

It's like a video game, there's a story mode and then there's free-roam. in free-roam, you only see a portion of what the game has to offer unless you beat the story mode (much like the bubble the government has kept us in). Our story mode is seeking unconditional love so once you have that challenge beat, all you have to do is free-roam. you either choose to help others or move on. You gotta be kidding yourself to think we are the only intelligent life this universe has to offer.

...some gnostic trains of thought 'believe' that stars are symbols of mind.

Organized religion on the decline, Bradley Manning winning person of the year for disclosing US atrocities, undeniable evidence for climate change finally being accepted by mainstream media, TYT claiming the top news ratings among online outlets, the Arab spring, Palestine being recognized internationally, Curiosity gaining international acclaim, the Higgs Boson and science once again showing international prominence, marijuana recreationally legal in two US states with a promising future to end the war on drugs completely, dipshit politicians who support unscientific, religiously based claims being ousted by their constituents, a reasonably sound man in the White House...

Is this the beginning of something big? Are we experiencing this in a much needed modern society?
No. There are plenty of retards out there still. Many of them showing up in this thread.

...I would believe that neer's study in 'the skies' makes us look like the ones that are looking up at it, still. I'm not posting this to raise him up like that. I'm saying that I'd certainly accept his critique on this matter. I have the same view of psyche as related to cosmos. His comments have always come across as a tether.
I come at these things with an engineer's attitude. "Alignment" means something both specific and definite. Definite means that there exists a precise numerical criterion for Pass/Fail. The question of measurability is moot, since astrometrics is by far the oldest branch of astronomy. And astrometric claims,and the imprecise handling of those, is where imo the astrologers tread hard onto the toes of the astronomers.
I really appreciate your honesty in this post. I would like to add my perspective, without the intention of forcing it upon you!

The future of fire and the future of light could look the exact same. If there happens to be some more powerful events to go down, it may very well be chaos and fire. I personally believe we were not born on this amazing and unique planet by chance (by chance biologically or physiologically maybe, but outside of divine will - no 'chance'). Every thing happens for a reason, and you can release fear in your life based on that notion. Give your personal will to the divine, tell the Lord - You take control. If you are truly willing to ask - and then listen - for an answer to any of life's questions, you will find what you're looking for in time.

You have such a beautiful and wonderful purpose canna. I truly hope you can see that.
Here's the thing. I otoh do believe in unguided random chance as one of the core engines of existence. God, meaning, purpose, spirit, soul ... to me these are all manifestations of the same thing, for which i find the word magic to be appropriate and inclusive, are things in which i do not and currently cannot believe. I have no ways of studying them, and I do not trust my own experience or stories of the experiences of others. I have experienced remarkable and utterly compelling things ... and found them to be incorrect. And every way, path, discipline, method of approach to spirit-experience I have found hinges on just that ... believing one's own mind. i cannot go there. in the most direct sense possible, i don't have the faith.

So i look to the one thing that I know to describe the world in a manner a third party can test ... the twin edifices of science and engineering. But they are not equipped to deal with the deeper questions, such as meaning/purpose. I have had to satisfy myself with the much leaner psychic fare of devising my own reasons to live, and at times those become dangerously threadbare. So with apologies: no. I cannot see wonderful meaning or purpose in my life ... only my history of pain and failure. cn

^ so much for the meaning of the thread (implied, or not) :lol: I think the 2012 thing is about 'understanding'. Golden Age, or New Age of Enlightenment implies wisdom.

I have a friend who's mom is into the whole new age thing, consciousness expansion and self improvement and whatnot.... if thats what religion devolves into i'd be happy with that, but sometimes things swing the other way and they end up like her sister who's a baptist, that woman is a psycho. reminds me of that lady on wife swap.

...you replied, apparently his post happened for a reason :lol:
Explain atrocities against the most innocent of us, babies and children. Enlighten me upon such purposes to allow reasoning. If you have not had such things occur in your life I can't take your opinion as a peer and only see speculation.

most people are convinced too easily that things are progressively getting worse, and yet time and again they are wrong. i guess mortality aside, things will get better, maybe not for humans.
if the whole time the earth has existed would be a clock, we humans only represent less than a second on this clock. In other words, we are but a blip! in the history of time, maybe even a fluctuation, an error a crazy electron defying physics who knows. Life will keep going, nature will survive it is us, our species who are at risk.
