Stop the Doom and Gloom. People have the Power.

I'm not religious but I have found I am more "spiritual" then ever recently. My god is Peace and Love. I believe we are interconnected through "energy". When we sit here and talk "doom and gloom" all day we are just going to commit a self full-filling prophecy with our negative energy.

The more we see where POSITIVE CHANGE can come about the more positive will happen. You have to be the change you wish to see in the world.

Trust me. A few months back I was dead set on believing WW3 was going to happen. I realized it was going to happen if I kept believing it would. The fact that we are "predicting" it just goes to show you we are capable at looking at our past mistakes and even more so because of the internet. I've have friends in college that are chinese, russian, british, you name it. You're telling me we are going to go to war with these people that we've only grown closer too since the Cold War? Thats why I posted the Dispatch song. The people have the power to put down their guns and tell their leaders NO.

We see our mistakes more clearly then any history book could have ever told us with the internet. If we are aware of the building blocks for an outbreak of World War why just submit to it?

2012, I believe is going to usher in POSITIVE CHANGE in the world. We are moving over into the age of Aquarius. You think everything that is happening in the world is coincidence? I think that our minds are interconnected to the changes in the cosmos. 2012, in my mind, is a time where human consciousness is going to make an almost "instant" shift. A new paradigm. We came from the universe didn't we? The "100th monkey" theory.

We here at ATS have already awoken to the realities of the world. Stop the doom and gloom and become the positive you wish to see in the world.

Extraterrestrials, if real, are neither with or against the human race. I believe that they visit this planet because its a "garden" of sorts. Just look at a picture of the earth from outer space and then imagine all the suffering that occurs on it. I think one of the reasons we have had so many UFO sightings as of late is because they are checking out to see if Human Beings have the ability to finally CHANGE OURSELVES. Its no coincidence that UFO sightings always spike in times of potential or occurring "Major War". If "Aliens" are watching they are probably wondering when we will awaken to the power of the galaxy. Peace is the key in my opinion. Peace is only attained by the people.

Think about this. Look at an Ipad. Its basically exactly what we use to see in movies set in "the future". Moving "holograms" on a "touch pad" screen. Swiping and moving things on a screen. Star Trek stuff.

The internet, as a typical home appliance, has only been around for the last 15 years. I felt home computers with internet became the norm roughly around 1996. About then is when you could kind of assume "middle class" had internet access. High speed internet has only been around for a decade and look what we have now!

We have internet on our phones. We can text and contact people at anytime. As a race we are closer together globally then we have ever been. This is the time when Greed and Corruption is being called out by the People right on their doorstep. If we are continued to be ignored that is when you will see the power of people surge.

Governments who just want to continue perpetual War are losing their grip and they are scrambling to start WW3. I don't doubt that. They are just going to run out of time and all the greed we have seen in the past decade is their last hurrah of elitist gluttony. They know their game is up. They can't hide in the shadows when a light has been turned on. The internet is that light.

Good always conquers Evil.

John Lennon explains how People can gain Power.



This video shows how we are going to gain power.

I truly think this song shows you how WW3 would be fought.

Wasn't there a thread exactly like this one 2-3 days ago?

Anyway, you are still right. Peace, love, understanding and positivity.

By the way, I love you all

Yea. I change the title and started the conversation from a different angle. But, its the same message fundamentally.


ALL WE ARE SAYING

IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE.

Give peace of chance is an awesome message...too bad I never liked that song.
Strangely, I love the beatles and Lennon AND the song was wrote and recorded in my home town where I was born.

Instant Karma, ahhh well that's a song I often sing and play. I'm a musician ^^

What I think is awesome about the song "Give Peace a Chance".....is that Lennon wrote it to give People a song that is powered by People. Not vocalized by himself so to speak.

So me and "User" are the only ATS members that haven't abandoned hope?


Very Sad.

Sorry-your thread is completely unrealistic thats why no one has responded.

Its only unrealistic when you don't try to make it real. Kind of Ironic considering you consider yourself the "prince of peace". Prince of negativity is more like it.

When I first started coming to ATS it was because I found people who agreed with me on "issues of the world". I agree, there is alot of messed up people and events occuring in the world.

Sure there is negative in the world. Then over time I realized there is a new topic EVERY WEEK that says something like this.

"WW3 will happen tomorrow. I Have Proof."

"Proof Markets will collapse tomorrow."

"Get Prepared!! MARTIAL LAW IS HERE!!!!"

"THE WORLD IS GOING TO END"


Its all negative and I have grown sick of it. Maybe, thats why WW3 is supposedly going to happen. We just let the negative take over like we are powerless. Its like we rather have the world end so we don't have to face our own problems.

Hence, why I say people have the power.

I'm 23 and trying to become successful in this world. I went to college to make video games. I am a game artist. I aced all my classes and loved learning it. I have all the skills necessary to get the job. Its just right now the economy is effecting everything. So, I blamed my misfortune of not finding a job yet on the economy. But I realized that was the easy way out. To make an excuse for not getting a job yet. What I should be doing is working harder. Maybe, an economic collapse is what the world needs. To make people realize that they have to change themselves to make it through this world. We grow comfortable in our ways. It made me lose hope.

I would post all kinds of stuff that I would see on ATS on facebook because I felt if I "got the word out" then people would be educated on these problems and evils in the world. But, I realized before I can change the world I have to change myself. I have to change my attitude. The US of A needs to change its attitude before its too late.

I smoked pot everyday. All day. I decided that I needed a change in my life. So I quit.

Trust me. I still love it. Still want to smoke it. But, I realized that if I want to keep smoking weed I need to become successful first. I don't deserve to treat myself to the good feeling of weed. It's not that I'm anti drug. I've tried alot of different stuff but I realized if I want to do that stuff without consequence I need to become successful first.

I realized I was able to smoke everyday because I had no consequence of doing so. The only consequence was the possibility of getting caught by the police. But, I wasn't going to get caught by the police by smoking in my house.

I also decided I wanted to start working out. If collapse is going to happen I need to be in good shape because the weak will die. I used to work out but then I got lazy about it.

So maybe all this Anti OWS is PARTIALLY right. These people need stop being lazy. They need to change their attitude. Even people on food stamps have it 10x easier then the impoverished in a 3rd world country. Our fore fathers of the US of A gave us the luxuries we have and we TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED.

Anything positive always gets deemed unrealistic because realists are naturally pessimists. I'm a realist but I've realized instead of pointing out all the negative first.....look at the positive instead. When we still here and worry about crap we just become a victim.

So that is why I said what I said in an above post. We need to start looking at what we can do to face the problems in the world rather then sit here and whine about it. I'm guilty of it of it and I have grown tired of that mindset. Mind you, I still believe there are "shadow governments" keeping the people down. That is why we need to change ourselves first. We need to show them who has the power in this world.

It is us. Not them.

ONCE THE PEOPLE LEAD.........THE LEADERS WILL FOLLOW.

You must be the change you want to see in the world - Mahatma Gandhi

The system isn't stupid, but the people in it are. Life is not what it's supposed to be. It's what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference. When we are no longer able to change a situation....we are challenged to change ourselves. Pessimism never won any battle. All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming. Fear defeats more people than any other single thing in the world. No great man ever complains of want of opportunities.

Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.

Most people can agree that the media just reports on the negative. We here at ATS hate the Media and how it operates. So why do you continue to act like them?

100% Agree my friend. There are good things to come in the future, I can feel it. I have felt it for months now, and to this very day even. I don't know if there are any authors of this supposed quote, but "If you think you're having a bad day, you are going to have a bad day". This works for the latter as well. I think that people should start realizing that there is hope. How else could this planet sustain life for as long as it has? Our ancestors disappeared right off the face of this planet, because of something grand in my opinion. Not because of a catastrophe.

I dunno.....something about that "a moment for the innocent about to die" topic just really rubbed me the wrong way. I agree with the topic creator but what he wrote just had this attitude of "giving up" that I really disagreed with.

LOL. Thanks man. You just made me realize something else. All of this pessimism on ATS isn't giving peace a chance. They count it out because they have no optimism.

Up until recently I've always been a glass is half empty person. I'm starting to see the other side and I like it much more. Who is more foolish, the child afraid of the dark or the man afraid of the light?

I HAVE THE POWER...

But unfortunately I'm a moron... And I'm not lonely...

You are just an amazing young man. I am a 48 year old woman who has trained alot of people. I have a 26 year old son, a 21 year old daughter and a 7 year old son. Lived abroad. Have alot of life experience. I am very proud of you without even knowing you. Please don't ever let your wisdom go to your head. But somewhere some how tweak things just a little with a tad of compassion and you will be a great leader.

reply to post by princeofpeace


you know I am 48 and all my life people have told me that I can't change the world, just like you have been telling this guy on here or these people. Sad, because change starts with one person at a time. Why can't you or people see that? Sometimes change starts with one word or one conversation at a time. Sometimes change starts with one hug or one gesture/notion of hope, faith, true charity or brotherly love.

Thanks MamaKnows. The part you said about just little things first is exactly what I advocate. Just smiling at anyone you happen to make eye contact with is a start and change that will help us as a society to achieve what I am talking about.

We are in a world that is so interconnected now. That is the difference in examining Human History.

We first had the airlines. Normal people like you and I could hop on a plane and be anywhere we want in the world. Global travel. Hell, if I wanted to go to China right now I could be there in less then a day. That is how small the world is.

Then the beautiful invention of the internet came about which gave us the ability of instant communication on a GLOBAL level. Everything is global. So for us to become One is inevitable. But not through Government because government and power corrupts.

We live in the INFORMATION AGE. I wouldn't be talking to any of you about this subject without the internet. It gives the ability to spread ideas for Good at a rate that can go VIRAL.

So because of the internet it has made Government so transparent. We can actually see how they systematically deceive us. Our governments are playing 20th Century politics in the 21st Century. It doesn't work on us anymore. We have a democratic society that allows us to speak out against our "kings" and their wrong doings. Few hundred years ago if I got in the street and said, "Screw the King"......I'd be dead in less then 60 seconds.

We are in a time where the "Occupy Movement" is about denouncing Greed and Corruption that oppresses our lives. The world goes round on the common peoples back. Yet, few get to live life in luxury. We already live in a utopia buts its fueled by possession of money which turns into power which turns into war for more power.

People have the Power to end this suffering. Its been put in motion and the People want to solve it through Peace. After a decade of total war.....2001-2011......would we honestly want to start a larger one?
