My Take on Modern Society and it’s Collapse



I think that we are headed towards a inevitable disaster, or at the very least a major change in who we are and how we live. Why I think this, I am not sure. It seems to always been apart of me. I do not think I am alone in these thoughts or feels either. I think that most have a sixth sense about what is to come, but just refuse to look at these feels in a more in-depth way. Maybe they just won’t or can’t make the time to slow down, examine their feelings, and look at things in a wider prospective. To me it seems like the world is on auto-pilot and someone keeps advancing the throttle. Time has accelerated at a astounding pace. I think this is in part do to the technology we have today, but I feel that there is also a human component involved as well. As our lives move faster and faster. Our conciseness has a effect on how we perceive time. After all, what is time, but the perception of movement? Even things that are seemingly at rest are in motion at the atomic level, and no doubt beyond. That is my basic understanding of time. I will leave the mechanics of it up to theoretical physicists.
So if we think time is speeding up, it will. When we as a collective society speed up time, I can’t help but think there will be effects on the physical world as well as our perceived lives.
I am not saying that we are bring these changes upon ourselves, but I am saying we are bring them to us at a faster rate then we need to. If we would slow down and really take a good look at our world, then I am sure we would be able to lessen the hardships of the coming changes.
It is my belief that if we are all concentrating on fears and dangers all around us, then that is what we will get. After all, haven’t we as a species always faced dangers? I think that these past dangers were more of a threat then today’s dangers. All you have to do is look at the life expectancies of people today!
There are those that want to encourage this fear too, for it allows them to gain more power and control. When you get more power and control in the hands of few people this is when the old saying of, “absolute power, corrupts absolutely” comes into play. This is a sure sign of a coming collapse.
I am not just talking about politicians and governments. I am talking about the people behind them “Big Money” the people who think life is one big game, and who ever has the most at the end of the game wins. Selfish people, who allow their ego to rule over their every action, instead of doing what Lincoln called “ listening to the better angels of our nature”. Unfortunately, most of the time the exact opposite people seek out positions of power. People who feed their own ego and think they are superior to the majority of people and that they know the best direction to take, and if you disagree, you are a threat and enemy to be crushed. Well, as it has been said, we get the government we deserve.
You might ask, well what is a alterative? I will only mention one. A lottery system. Where people are picked at random for a “tour of duty”. Of course there would be competency test and exclusion rules for people with questionable back grounds and also age limits. I would suggest at least 35 years of age. If someone was to show to be exceptionally good at governance, and if they wanted to stay in the job. We would have a vote of confidence or no confidence to decide if they stayed or would go. I know more things would have to be worked out, like a system of bureaucrats that would be there in order to make the transition more smooth, but these people would also be subject to replacement by the “selected”. I won’t go into it any farther detail then that. It’s just a thought.
The rise and fall of governments is not the only changes we should expect. Those type of changes we know of and have seen many examples of in the past, although it does seem we cannot learn from them!
There also seem to be great cyclical changes to our galaxy and most likely even to the Universe. These changes are far more vast and disturbing. There are disagreements on the exact time scales, but we know they happen. It seems that past civilization knew of them too. In fact their knowledge is in part how we know of the Great Cycle of Change. We are only now starting to understand these changes. There are many theories as to the causes of the changes. One of which is being aligned to the Galactic center. It is thought that this alignment in conjunction with the Winter solstice will somehow cause the Earth to experience a pole shift. If this were to happen, even slowly, the world as we know it would not exist any longer. The evidence seems to points to it happening quickly though, which would mean even more destruction and death. This takes place every 26,000 year, roughly, I have heard slightly different numbers.
According to Mayan calendar thought it is going to occur December 21, 2012. This is the exact date which it occurs. Whether or not some will happen is anyone’s guess. The Mayan calendar is very advanced when it comes to astrological events. Why they were so meticulous is not known, but they put great time and care into it for some reason. It was not design just to know when to plant the crops! I have heard it say many times this is the end of time! It is not, the calendar just starts over at the beginning. Counting down the Great Galactic Cycle once more.
Another theory is the Super Wave event that happens repeatedly over time. This is the ideal that the center of our galaxy emits great amounts of energy. The product of these “explosions” being a great cosmic wave of energy, like Gamma Rays and X-ray, and things that quite frankly, I am not qualified to talk about. One thing I do know, is that there was a gamma ray burst detected 3 days after the 2004 Earthquake in the India Ocean “the one that caused the devastating tsunami”. It is my understanding that this would be the order in which the events would play out, first you would get a gravity way, and then you would get the gamma ray. This energy came from a star going Supernova. The energy release from the center of the galaxy has the potential of being far strong!
The fact is these great releases of energy can effect own solar system immensely according to the size and duration of the event. I am not sure if anyone knows the frequency of these events or not, but they do happen, and according to some we are over due. I really doubt that the galactic alignment has any effect on a Super wave event from the center of the galaxy, it just something else to ponder, other then corrupt governments and Politicians.
I do not mention these things to instill more fear. After all, the Galactic alignment may have no effect at all and the Superwave is on a unknown time scale. I talk about these things to try and get people to think on a larger scale, not only about our place in the Universe but, our place in time as well. If we as a race would wake from this selfish narrow point of view, I am sure we would be better off.
If I could have one decree for all of the world. It would be for every human each day to be up to meet their rising sun. If everyone would take 5 minutes a day to stand facing their sun and contemplate the world around them, to think of loved ones, and to just wish good will for the world! I can’t help but think there would be a wave our own going around the world everyday. A Great Wave of well being for all.
