Ok, I watched it all. I also went to his website and signed up for his 'check it out for free' schtick. I ended up with an email saying a lot of nothing ('this is what you'll learn if you register at my site') with a lot of links taking me to the registration page that, not surprisingly, needs a credit card for membership. And for the measely price of 100.00 I'll get one personal reading and a FREE one year membership. Oh yeah, I'm gonna save my pennies for that. I'm reminded of a recently departed from the scene "pro"-domme who charged consultation fees (coincidentally in the amount of 100.00) to discuss on the telephone whether or not she thought you would make a good client. He's not saying anything that hasn't been said for a very long time by a lot of people. I'm not entirely happy that it's put forward as a long standing (millenia) conspiracy or that what he calls conspiracy is necessarily all negative and/ or malevolent. The presentation seemed to me to begin presenting as a thing to inspire fear, and then he closed by suggesting that we should all rid ourselves of fear and other personal darknesses. He refers to the ego in much the same way Alice Bailey and HPB did 100 years ago (with significantly less math than HPB used). Do you, today, CARE if your ancient forefathers were not of this world? Does it matter? Will knowing this definitively change who you are today? I dont think so. Is it interesting? Definitely. December 21, 2012 - the next apocolypse. I've now lived through at least two prophosied 'end of times' and ya know what? I still have to get my taxes paid every year. Every day we have an end of times and a new beginning (metaphorically). Curiously, after every prophosied end of times the proponents will say 'it was metaphorical' while prior to that time presenting as metaphysical. I once went to a MUFON meeting. What was most discouraging to me was the volume of attendees LOOKING for something to be fearful of. Not surprisingly, they were also the loudest, rarely letting anyone get a word in edgewise. Granted, I only went to one meeting/ presentation and can not say whether or not this is an accurate sampling of the entire organization. It was a very disheartening process for me. It was a microcosm of what we see in our society today - lots of fearful alarmism. I see a lot of conspiracy whackos among the ranks of conspiracy theorists. Is there any truth is any of it? I'm sure there is, at least here and there. Do I care to plug into the fear that seems to accompany these sorts of things? Not even a little. I do, however, agree that our answers lay within ourselves (and not just with DNA). Whether 2013 will be met with years of darkness (physical, metaphysical or metaphorical) I wait to see. The universe will continue to cycle, we will survive or not. It's rather elementary and any endocrine upset I might cause myself over it isn't going to change what is.
