So, if the world is ending soon, (it is ending, right?), then why is the U.S. American society more concerned about the most trivial gossip regarding celebrities and politician’s lives? Oh, and don’t forget our massive interest in the unrealistic “Reality” shows. Doesn’t it seem that the regular news doesn’t have much real news either, showing more interest in the odd mundane things of life, and panning over the serious issues of the U.S. and the world.
I’ll use the writing style of the old gossip columns I use to see in papers or magazines, hinting at certain well known personas, rather than mentioning their name. You know, trying hard to protect the not so innocent.
Let’s take for instance, that octogenarian who has a long and old history of speeding through relationships with beautiful young women who live in his mansion, and was recently dumped by the newest, no, I guess by now it the second most recent fiancée. Poor wealthy, birthday challenged man, how can the nation’s heart not go out to him, and of course his new girlfriend. How about J.Lo and Marc Anthony’s divorce? Anyone with half an eye for stars knew that was gonna happen sooner than later. Even that CNN news show anchor didn’t generate enough of his own news by coming out a few years ago, now he’s really making headlines by Tweeting a topless photo of himself!!! OMG!!!
Supposedly, humans have been evolving over the last 250,000 years. Into what? A society that either adores hot bodies and/or food, mixed with gossip about celebrities and politicians? With the world’s environment and socio-economic base seemingly collapsing right before I very eyes, as covered as they may be, it seems we prefer to pay attention to the most trivial things in life.
There is an ever growing number of theories on how the world is going to end, and many of those fall by the wayside on an almost daily basis. Some seem to focus on the 2012 prophecy of the Mayan’s, as well as a few other plausible theories, but for the most part people go about their business.
The bible says: Revelation 16:15 “Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.” So, how do we prepare? We really want to look good for our maker, none of that Walmart line of clothing, nothing but the finest for our last day. The Plains Indians wore beautiful regalia into battle, just in case they were killed, they’d be well dressed to meet their maker. Is that why we’re so concerned about wearing the latest fashion?
Some of us are scared out of our wits thinking the time in nigh. Are the rest just pretending to ignore it, maybe it’ll go away? So, who do we believe, who is right, which prophecy, which religion, which spiritual path, which truth, which God??? The one and only one TRUTH is you. And the command center is in your heart, the one true connection to Mother, Father, God, Creator and Source.
STAY FOCUSED – and look for my next post regarding some of the Native Prophecies. I’ll answer the question, “Does the Mayan Calendar Really Predict the End, or Did They Just Run Out of Space on That Round Stone?”
