Hi All
thesaint, thank you for starting a post on this. It always makes me smile when I find someone who is on a similar learning-seeking-journey that I am.
I sort of "woke-up" in'96 and have been
seeking since that time. The subject of my seeking seems to change as I learn and grow, but one
thing remains constant, and that is a new truth is always discovered.
Of course those new truth's always lead me on another journey of seeking, but I am always excited and joyful when it does. (Of course there have been
some hard truths along the way, especially when you discover unpleasant things about yourself, but even in that I am grateful for having learned
something. It seems it is always the truth about ones self that is often overlooked or ignored) One of the greatest things that I have discovered is
that the
Truth is relative to each persons reality. So what may be an essential truth to me, may be a false truth to someone else.
This has been a hard lesson for me because I get so excited about discovering something, and I want to share it with everyone in the belief that it
will make them as happy as I was when I discovered it. Of course I got a few wake-up calls that made me wonder why some people were so resistant to
something I believed was so obvious. A few lessons later, and I realized that we discover information or go through situations when we are ready for
them. Yet even though someone else may go through something similar, we will both get something different out of it, reflective of our own
reality.
Like you, I have always believed that I am here for a reason. I have felt this way since I was about six. Around '99 I became quite anxious, like I
wasn’t learning fast enough, or that I wasn’t seeking enough, or paying enought attention to things happening around me. I was frustrated because
I wasn’t sure how to "fix" that. Patience turned out to be anther one of my lessons, as in 2000, tons of information seemed to appear all at
once. At one point I was overwhelmed by it all, wishing I had a stop-time device because it seemed as if I would never have the time to investigate
everthing I found.
One of the most exciting things that I learned about was the Mayan calander and information about 2012. I immediately connected with the date, and
this will sound strange, but it felt
familiar to me. Kind of like a catalyst to send me off on other adventures of learning. At first I was
filled with fear, as I thought about destruction as a theme for 2012.
Then I realized that yet another lesson had appeared for me, and it was how deceptive and destructive
Fear is. I have been trying to recognize
and remove all of my fears since that time. I have been pretty successful, but I know I still have more to ferret out and overcome. One of the fears
that I did manage to conquer was the doomsday one.
That was a happy moment for me!
Afterwards another plethora of information appeared for me to investigate. So now I am at a point where I am
excited about the things to come, although I know that not everything will be good. 2012 for me is like the day a door will be finally revealed and
ready to be opened for those who seek it, stumble into it, are guided through it, or any other "event" that leads a person to that moment.
I apologize for being so long winded here. I guess that is my excitement getting the better of me. 2012 is still an open book for me, but I think
that your theory has some merit. I think that Iran and Syria have also have a few historical secrets that some people may wish to acquire. (just my
hunch).
For people who are interested, I will list a few sites that I have perused in the past that have helped me on my journey. I took from each site the
info that seemed to resonate with me, and left the info that didn’t. I hope that someone will find something, somewhere, on these sites that will
send them on their own learning adventure!
