New World or No World Order?

I watched an interesting documentary online last night entitled “Prophecies.” The documentary was produced in the 90s so it was interesting to see what predictions were accurate and which ones were not. Prophecies come from persons who claim to have the ability to predict events in the future.

In my opinion, some of the predictions were accurate and some were not. I can’t state for certainty that the prophecies came from a divine source but I think that the predictions serve as good warnings for us in the present.

I think that in particular the documentary discussed how the calendar of the Maya civilization has brought forth predictions that all have come to pass. What was particularly of note is that their calendar ended in 2012 – I believe December 21st.

I’m not necessarily buying into this prediction that all life will cease to exist by 2012, but I’m sure one can look at this prediction and look at current events in the world and perhaps recognize that there could be some possibility.

For example, with the so-called of nuclear war from North Korea and Iran and threats from Pakistan (in the sense that the Taliban could take control of their nuclear weapons) and that many people from various countries hold much anti-US sentiment, and the state of the economy – many blame it all on the US – all these factors (and no doubt many more) could mean that a major nuclear war could arise.

Have we learned our lesson about warfare? Albeit we have not had a world war since 2002 but nuclear weapons make it easy to start one combined with the above mentioned factors. We have had so many other wars and of course many said the war on terrorism is harder fought one that a world war because for one reason, you don’t always know who the enemy is. Wars are taking up so much of a country’s GDP. How much more war can the US afford.

I won’t press the point here but I think at this point in time, we need to collectively raise our consciousness to a level that we can surmount the above mentioned issues. Of course most people would agree with this statement but the disagreement that exists is how tod o so.

That is where I think every individual must be an informed individual and follow world events so that when he/she has the chance to vote they do so.

I also think when one can influence others opinions we can have the power to create trends – which can jump across cultures.

I guess what I’m saying is we need collective movements of higher levels of consciousness all over the world and it starts with you as an individual. I’m not saying it’s easy to create such movements as an individual, but I am saying if such movements come to pass they must begin with the individual.
