What I think will happen in 2012 (Long warning!)


Ok, I’m the first to admit I have some rather weird, wacky and way out, unconventional ideas about life and the #way it is’. I want to be that person who believes life is fantastic and live I a more positive frame of mind. I suppose my fear is that by trying to put the world to right I come over sometimes as a negative person, but I think this negativity is more frustration at the way the would ‘could be’ if only people would speak out and be counted.

For many years now I have looked at all types of spiritual paths and learnt a great deal from them all. I’ve always searched for a path that would fit me 100% or course now older and wiser I realise that I am a unique human being and there is no one out there quite like me….Thank God I hear you say! Lol.

I ‘know’ that pared down to basics there is very little I want or need in life. I balk at materialism and the social trapping that society gets itself into.
Over the last 9 months I have learnt more about myself than I ever thought possible. Like I’m on some sort of spiritual quest that is like a rollercoaster and I feel a real sense of urgency to put everything I know and have learnt in order and clarify once again just who I am and where I am coming from and indeed where I am going.

Do I think the world will end in 2012?
No. But it will be the end of things as we know it and I truly believe that we (we being those on an alternative – no materialistic path) We are growing in numbers and being more and more enlightened every help those who have not being looking with wide open eyes what is happening all around them. I have blogged in the past about how fast technology is moving and ‘we’ as a society get sucked in to thinking that we ‘need’ this or that…..for fear of looking impoverished or behind the times. There is no doubt that there is huge energy shifts at the moment, not only myself but friends and bloggers all over the world (those in the know) feel it too. One minute you can be all calm and relaxed..... next minute fear and anxiety, or thigs just feeling very doom and gloom, then as quickly as it started it goes away. This can take place over minutes, hours or a couple of days.

What I see is a world where there is no longer a sense of community, no pulling together, people hardly know their neighbours any more! Familys have been moved around in order to get work. People are in debt because it was so easy to gain credit and so HAVE to both go out to work while someone else brings up your kids.
When my son was at school I was expected to help him with his homework and as far as I know this still happens in schools…errrr is it me or what? So, Mother comes in at 6 o’clock at night, makes a meal, everyone sits down to eat at 7, then there’s the pots to clear away …Oh yeah and help the kids with their homework! After you have been up since 7am and got the kids ready for school then done a days work and perhaps shopped on your way home…..Hmmmmm Fantastic.
On many occasions I throw my arms up in despair and wonder if the whole worlds gone mad (Glastonbury Residents excluded – lol)

Anyway…I just want to post something below that I wrote a week ago but thought it may be too controversial for my blog so was undecided on whether to post or not….decided to sit on it….and also didn’t finish it….so excuse me if it makes no sense……but here goes……


THIS WAS WRITTEN on THIRSDAY 13th March 2008
I’m not sure whether or not this will ever reach my public blog or not, II suppose I have a fear of people thinking I’m mad or have lost the plot….perhaps I am and have! …but feel that there is some sense of urgency to get down in writing what I have to say….for what reason I’ve no idea! But here goes…..

For quite some time now I have had weird and powerful feelings. These have ranged from the most terrible fear and despair to great feelings of elation and excitement, I must stress here that these feeling aren’t for me and my future but the way the world is going. I suppose being an artistic creative type that sort of fits in with what I do. But somehow, and I can’t explain why, I feel it is far more than that.

The world is changing at a rapid rate. I feel we are all puppets on a string and no one wants to stand up and be counted, yet ‘we’ the ones who are spiritually developed are coming together, closer and closer and there can be no denying that there is a growing number of people on this path.
We as a society are divided between the ones that are asleep, the ones that are stirring gently and then falling back asleep again and those that are fully awake, open and receptive.
There is a huge variety of spiritual paths and belief systems to follow but ultimately it matters not a jot as to which one you’re on…..it’s how you see and treat your fellow man that will be needed.

The governments need cash flow in the economy in order to gain taxes to fund their spending. If people don’t spend the governments don’t make money….simple as that. After the Thatcher days and when people were relatively still quite badly off this New Labour Government came in and reduced interest which made borrowing money easier than ever before. We began to see that we could have anything and everything we wanted…we didn’t need to wait any longer. Take out a load or buy now pay later, bombarded with credit cards, store cards, cheap mortgages…..Oh I could go on for ever. The more money we borrowed, the more we had to work, a few rises in interest rates and yikes have to work some more…and more and more….
So instead of mothers doing what they do best and having a ‘choice’ that had to leave the care and control of their children to others and also go out and get a job. Now forgive me if I’m a bit off track here, but it seems to me that if the women were at home the kids would have a better upbringing and have a sense of family values and there would be more work for the men that want to work.
Anyway, I digress…..all this had led to people valuing objects money and materialistic things over friendship, community and people skills. What ever happened to the neighbour who used to pop in to make sure the poor pensioner on the end of the block was ok? What happened to the friend who you could ring any time of the day or night if you had an emergency or just needed to chat? What happened to the person who walked past you and said hello as you walked to the shops….just to bring a smile to your face? What happened to the parents that used to play in the street with their kids…joined by other kids and parents? There all bloody working to pay off their debts that’s what!
It’s now the norm to work your arse off to fill the pockets and some fat cat director who does little more than that…DIRECT! While the rest of us slavishly come home late at night, weary and with the worries of the world on our shoulders and because we are so tired we have little time to think…..perhaps that’s the idea!

It’s not rocket science that somehow, somewhere the light will go on. People are already realising that material wealth and objects somehow still leaves a gap in their happiness. They feel unfulfilled. Eventually the light has to go on. People just have to realise what’s really real and who’s pulling the strings here. I can’t believe that we haven’t had a revolution yet. FREE TIME TO ENJOY LIFE CANNOT BE BOUGHT! Once the time has been spent, whether at work or play….it’s gone forever!

I’m not sure what’s going to happen in the year 2012 but what I am sure about is that people slowly but surely are waking up. They are being shown the way by those who have seen it coming. Whether or not they want to listen is a matter of choice. We will be there for them when they do.
Perhaps the big bang is going to happen sooner rather that later. It’s only people WITH money that have it in the bank, those without HAVE NOWT, I have the most dreadful feeling that the banks are going to crash and money will be lost….on a really Big scale. Therefore, people with money (large companies included) who think they have it all could very well have very little. For the first time since the World Wars, people will be on a more level pegging and will ‘have to; come together’. I wonder if those people who looked down on the less materialistic or less wealthy would be so quick to judge then? Hmmmm somehow I just know the ones who will be the most resourceful and least affected by this change.
Is you money safe? Not long ago Northern Rock almost went bust….just what if a large American Bank had a crash and it affected ALL the high street banks…. I really do wonder how safe people would feel then.


Oppppsss....A bit of a prediction there me thinks!
Just tonight, this crash HIT THE NEWS
Now I really MUSt learn to post things when they come into my mind and NOT leave them for fear of being seen a freak with totally weird and onconventional ideas! Either that or keep my BIg Fat mouth firmy shut!
