Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

My greatest fear, based upon that YouTube video, is that everything will be destroyed except an endless loop of Enya recordings.

Dang!! That was TRULY depressing! I just want to slit my wrists after that - but I always feel that way about Enya....
Oh, and the video - except for the global warming stuff, really laughable. They've managed to take huge liberties with all of the "predictions" listed.
Talk about melodrama...
(And couldn't help noticing there weren't any Republican Anti-Christs.)

Great. Now there's going to be another onslaught of Nostradamus biographies on A&E with middle aged participants providing echoed voice over whispering "One day, man will walk on the moon" or "buy long term high yield investments"...

Yawn

Spooky-wooky late-night radio personality Art Bell gave that 2000 scare some real traction. Any Art Bell listeners out there in UFO-land?

The 2012 jazz originally surfaced in a book by Jose Arguelles titled The Transformative Vision (published in 1975 by the very respectable Shambhala Publications, I might add). He made a career out of it. Anyone remember the 1987 "Harmonic Convergence"? That was Arguelles' brainchild too.

Remember, there was a stock market crash. Kmart, Worldcom, and Enron went bankrupt as a result of the crash that started in 2000. It wasn't exactly the end of the world, but it wasn't entirely a non-event either. I used to like the UFO stuff and Art Bell. I particularly liked the topic of spontaneous human invisibility. It's totally for real, have you ever stood at a counter for service and the staff doesn't even see you? Someone told me that some shaman can do this at will. They can go into a crowd and make it so no one will notice them. Kind of out there, but deep if you think about it.

Yes, I remember that, it was on 11/11. It was talked about a lot in certain communities for a good year or more. There was a stock market crash in Oct '87 too. It looks like the new-age people keep predicting either terrible things (in the case of 2000) or great things (the 11/11) but all they do is get stock market collapses (2000) or stock market buying opportunities (11/11). It's a good thing the energy channels itself to a safe place. It makes sense because money is a symbol of energy. If there weren't free markets, who knows where the energy would direct itself.

Interesting...

I'm not a shaman but this explains my experience yesterday....at the post office.

I don't think there is anything supernatural about it. I just think sometimes the human brain just might not register that one human has a presence. There have been times I have looked straight at an object and not realized it was even there. It could have something to do with the person who is being unnoticed and the people who aren't noticing them. But from what I read yesterday there is no explanation.
