In reply to 2012 - The End Of The World???, posted by Cseagraves on January 17, 2009, at 15:08:03
> Just venting here!!!

> I am so tired of hearing all of this crap about the end of times being 2012. I don't want to hear what the Aztecians, Mayans, Nostrodamus or other psychics have predicted.<<<
----Ummm... NO NO NO (not yelling at you personally-- just makes me upset how the Christian community has taken an insightful thing from the Mayan's and made it bad.-- argh!) I was at Chichen-itza last summer and talked with a native there-- He said the Mayan's proclaimed 2012 would be the end of the current cycle,(there are 5 and we are in the third now) and that a new cycle would begin-- for all things. No where does it say that it is the end of the world. The Christians that decided to read it their own way, decided to make it "the end of the world"-- because for some reason-- Christians can't be content enough with this wonderful planet-- they have to always be looking for "the end". What is it with religions and the obession with death? with the end of the world?? seems to me humans should embrace this most wonderful place and just be thankful daily that they are here.(IMO) I so treasure the earth and don't concern myself with the "end"-- if it comes there probably won't be anything to do about it anyway.
> My dark place is dark enough. "Hoping" that I will pull out of this condition is hard enough. I want to live a to see my children grow,<<-----If it's only up to the world not ending-- I'm most certain you will see them grow.
>> My dream was to open a spiritual center of healing.<<---- Oh that sounds like a lovely dream--one that could be very possible.
>>I can't believe how much this condition (severe gad and agoraphobia) has also stolen my ability to cope and be excited with whatever my future may hold.<<---- Oh, I'm so sorry you are having a rough go of it. :o(
>> Wonder what would happen if I just stopped all my meds. Gave my body time to cleanse and heal on its own and see where I'm at. How do I know that all of these ssri's and other meds that I have taken have not made my condition worse? Totally screwed up the chemicals in my brain maybe instead of making them better.<<----- well, that could be possible. Have you ever looked at those young men that have gone on shooting rampages.... they only became overly violent AFTER having taken medication(NOT before they ever took meds)..... sure makes many people wonder (said she-- who happens to be on Lexapro)
>
> I'm sure that some of you have heard this one. "That we are not human beings trying to be spiritual, but that we are spiritual beings trying to be human."<<-----I've not heard that-- it does sound applicable-- as long as it doesn't cause us to be unappreciative, disrespectful and arrogant in regards to all other creatures that we share the earth with.
> I try not to watch the news to much, but because I have a Jewish side of the family, I have been keeping up with what is going on between Israel and Haamas.<<---- I also don't watch the news much-- too depressing and also slanted. I hope your family will be safe.
>>Where did our hearts go, where did our compassion go? Why is it so much easier for people to feel hate and destruction?<<
---- I think there has always been some kind of fighting all through history-- compassion didn't just recently go.(IMO)... it's still around in small amounts-- all over, in every country. It's easier to hate and destroy because it takes less thought-- aggression is a very immature emotion.... we as humankind overall-- are quite immature.(sadly so)
> This world is so out of balance.<<
--- Yes, I agree. Humans Have so disrespected the earth and it's creatures-- it would serve us right if we were "kicked" off.
> Don't know why I am feeling overly sensitive today. I haven't taken any lexapro for two weeks and I was only on the trazodone for 5 days and have been off since Jan. 12th. I have just been depressed and crying all day. Can't seem to get a grip.<<----- oh a Lexapro sister! ;o) your body could be going through a detoxification process. I think it could help if you exercise every day, and do one thing each day that you feel good about-- maybe reading, baking, drawing-- heck, sometimes I even color in coloring books-- it can be very relaxing and gives me a sense of control.
>
> My husband and son play in a band and because not only do I love to watch them play, but I try very hard to appear as normal and as stable as possible when I am around my children. It was ridiculous that I had to take several zanax's just to get out of the house, because I didn't want to let my son down.<<---- Hey, I don't think that's ridiculous-- what ever works. You sound like a very wonderful mother.
>
> Take it for what it is worth, but I had a psychic (a very reputable one here in Atlanta) tell me that my soul had been here so many times, that it had become very sensitive to all of the imbalance here. She also told me that I've learned all that I need to from here and that this would be the last time I would come back. Thank G-d!!! 'Cause I'm tired. I'd rather be someones spiritual guide on the other side than come back here again. LOL!!!----- that all sounds Cool!
>
> I apologize, but I have been on a rollercoaster all day. Have been trying to find a way to cleanse all of these meds out of my body quicker as I am tired of the brain zaps and the feeling of electrical currents going down my arms and hands. Seems like anxieties are worse today and I am still trying to figure out a way to get myself to the grocery store.<<------ one day at a time.... sorry things can't improve quicker. Inner peace takes time and much effort to achieve.
>
> Also, please keep in mind that I am just ranting right now and mean or negative responses are not needed. Normally I would not be like this.
>
> Thanks for listening though.
>
-------- ranting is quite all right.... I think it's like getting all the mud off! ;o)
