Is September 27, 2011 shtf day?

YOU MUST DECIDE.


Here is "what a true scientist from NASA has to say":

And here is what "a spiritual person" has to say:

http://www.edp-spiritualart.com/conspiracy.html

The NASA page is great, no such thing as ETs, no Nibiru, no nothing.

The spiritual guy is equally comforting. It's true that what you focus your attention on, is what is real.

So if I just focus on my bellybutton, and I like it, I'll be fine. The world will only be my bellybutton.

Except my curiosity goes way beyond my bellybutton, since I turned 12.

But what's behind all the conspiracy stuff?

I don't know...but what is in front of it? That's a bit easier to describe, because it's what's happening to us.

People are disoriented. They need to believe in something.
People are bombarded by stimuli but there is a great emptiness behind the brilliant show. They are wishing for an end to the emptiness. They populate it with whatever grabs their attention...on the net.

When they come across something that shocks them, it releases adrenalin. They come alive.

What we are is reality addicts. Submerged in our fears, in things we can barely confess to others because...there's no one...or the someone who is there is a stranger...or we used to know them, but they've turned strange on us...and things have gotten very, very unreal.

The feeling of unreality produces boredom, tedium, then angst. then despair.

To break that unreality, there is the net.

A lot of us don't relate to humans to any degree of depth, and this is numbing. The numbness is only broken by pleasure or humor or hearing of others' misfortunes/fortunes.

You go out and use your body. But you can't use it all day. You can't work out all day long. You can't fuck all day long (though some try). You can't do drugs all day long (not the exhausting kind anyhow, or the expensive).

Voilà: the net. All you need is hours to kill.

What you are really stepping into, is your own mind. And if you look, you find. If you ask, you are given.

We are all existing in "real" (boring) life, which has gotten more and more alien, and we are also now existing in virtual space, which we find so much more stimulating, alluring, mysterious.

Where is all that content coming from? Well, if there are say two billion people able to input material in the net (I've done my bit), then imagine the possibilities.

However, it's definitely more than _a bit_ mysterious and enigmatic where all the content is coming from. It's mind boggling.

Which is nice, isn't it.

Curiosity is killing us all. We want to KNOW. SOMETHING, ANYTHING. So something and anything come.

Blasé as we have all become, the net still has the power to shock. And I never even look for porn. But the net has become all of us, and lots of us are pretty weird. Scary weird.

Lots are unintelligible, metallic, cold, bombarding just like the things that put us off in "real" life. Lots are so-so. And some are earthshaking.

We _want_ earthshaking. So we get it.

We are producing the conspiracies. We're attracting them.

So should we shut them out? It would be like people addicted to chocolate and ice cream (yours truly). You can't stop being addicted until lots of time passes and lots of water flows under your bridge, and you basically dismantle and rebuild the bridge a few thousand times in different locations.

I don't know.

All I know is: this is a hell of a scene, this Internet.

Maybe it is just the ultimate mind entertainment...consciousness shock and awe.

And the most interesting bit of info we can get out of all this is: how we all yearn for a more powerful reality. How we all feel imprisoned in some way, and yearn for release.

So something is going on in this sense. How to define it: can't. How to resolve it: can't.

Something BIG is going on. Maybe it isn't Nibiru, maybe it won't explode in our faces on September 27, 2011.

But something is happening, we're in the middle of it, we could be triggering it, and it could be triggering us.
