We have choices ...

I mentioned in my previous post, the meaning of life is in the pursuit of the meaning of life ...do i need to explain it a little further? Let's see ...

Knowledge -- man, how does one define knowledge <---hint, click here <---
Intelligence -- putting it all together
Wisdom -- applying it

We can put it in a roleplaying format: the more knowledge you gain and use that knowledge, the more intelligent you get; thus, the more you practice everything you learn and how certain things work together or don't work together, the better you get at applying it. And then there's charisma, but not now.

Or the creation view with the tree of life and tree of knowledge of good and evil ...in that case, life being the pursuit of life (meaning of life), and knowledge being the sudden epifany (did i spell that right?) that one has a choice of 'good' and 'evil.'

We have choices ...

Although faith has played a very instrumental role in my pursuit, I don't claim a religion. I understand much about faith and socio-alliance structures, but do not align with any one system. In a sense, I have used religion to 'see the big picture.' I do believe that ALL the 'parts' of the globe/world are integral to all of what was, is, and is to come. I believe its in the correlation of and desire for truth and answers from history that will prepare us for EVERYTHING that is to come, and whats next on the horizon. In school, I remember classes being referred to as lessons ...history lessons: Did we learn anything?

The American society has absolutely no reason to be behind the bar on so many levels. In this wonderfully crafted democratic society we proudly call home, we have the access to vast volumes and libraries and resources of just about everything, yet we piddle potential away with convenience, comfort, and complacency. Saying we're proud as Americans isn't as loud as taking pride in being American. Being the leading example of all human potential is at our feet, but we trample over it for the sake of convenience, comfort, and complacency.

A philosophy of mine is 'Life is a quest with an undefined beginning, and an undefined end. To know where it goes, one must find the origin.' I believe it to be possible through correlative inspection to find the 'origin,' thus finding truth. To borrow a cliche from a mainstream faith, the truth will set us free. Somewhere, globally, mankind got way off course and followed tangents rather than truth. Greed soon reared its ugly head, and now we're in the pickle of a lifetime. I believe we can find the origin, find the truth, see where we are, and make way for where we're going ...but not until we take pride in being Americans ...take pride in being human. Our choices direct our paths; every action has an opposite and equal reaction; every decision comes with consequences.

There is a MIGHTY change coming to this globe; I believe we can all be ready, and we can all play an integral part in how things shape for the future.

the 13th Baktun

About a year or yr 1/2 ago, i saw on Discovery or History a show covering ancient central/southamerican natives. One of the topics was their calendar use. The long-count calendar, as was commonly later referred to as, was also used by the mesopotamians. In my pursuit of some knowledge, i looked up the calendar. wow, the things i discovered.

this entire topic is of great occupation for me and i've spent many hours researching. so, without giving in to any PREsumptions, i'll just throw some information out to be ingested ...

the following is an email i just sent my mother when we were discussing some extremely interesting topics:

"
using what i've gotten, i'm presuming the long count calendar was one of five calendars that are to be combined to give a complete history and future...

-the long count calendar (mesopotamian/mayan) goes through 13 baktuns (which will currently end dec 21 or 23 2012)

-the next would be a calendar adding up baktuns; 1 pictun = 20 baktun = 2,880,000 days =approx. 7885 years (ending Columbus Day, October 12, 4772)
-then ...1 calabtun = 20 pictun = 57,600,000 days = approx. 158,000 years
-then ...1 kinchiltun = 20 calabtun = 1,152,000,000 days = approx. 3 million years
-then ...1 alautun = 20 kinchiltun = 23,040,000,000 days = approx. 63 million years

also, approximately 65 million years ago was the event killing off the dinosaurs (allegedly, lol)
"*end of email*

another note to consider, the current pictun will complete its cycle 2,760 years following the completion of this 13th baktun.

so, where is this all going?

in my research, although limited, i have become convinced that the year 2012 will play a most dramatic role in the shaping of this planet and humankind. Not in any conspiratal manner (unless some faith-based belief system is correct), rather in the definitive 'apocalyptic' manner. please note that apocalypse does not literally mean disaster. please look up the definition for urself.

there are so many bulletins that we can discuss concerning this year, that it would be impossible to cover in one post. so, here and there i'll post something. lol, don't worry, this topic won't consume all the posts, but many things i will post are/will be 'coincidentally' relative to how my life is shaped, including its influence by 2012.

did u know the comet Eros (of which we have a satellite stationed on), and the planet Nibiru are at a galactic intersection with Earth in 2012? the next US Presidential elections are in 2012, as well as MANY others around the globe.

if anyone would like to join this discussion, please contribute.
