Time speeding up? Until point zero? Are we getting closer?

Are we? Anyone else feeling this? As well as feeling mentally and physically exhausted (but in an usual way) time seems to be passing in larger and larger chunks its wired days are feeling like hours weeks like days months like weeks (maybe slight exaggeration but you know what I mean). A great sense of something is coming? Anyone else?

In the second season of "Lost" the castaways find a hatch leading to a bunker containing an incredibly strong electromagnetism generator.

In order to keep the machine from destroying the world, the castaways must enter the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, & 42.

The sum of which is 108.

They must enter these numbers every 108 minutes over and over and over again in order to save the world.

Now here is a list of eastern spiritual practices.

Now enter the Mayans.

History tells us that the Mayans were discovered after the Europeans began their travels to the New World in the 16th century.

The Mayans not only hold 108 as a sacred number, but they too believe the universe was created in 7 days, and did bleve this well before there were any Christians, Jews, or Muslims around.


On the calendar template, there are 9 levels until the what they called the golden age was to occur.

Each level is divided into 13 sections equally (7 days & 6 nights)

So every shift is the line between the 13 sections, so there are 12 shifts per section.

12 shifts multiplied by nine levels = 108

And that is when the calendar ceases.

------

I am in my 50's. I have been saying that time is changing for about 30 years. One day when I was 25 years old seemed at least 10 times longer than one day today. One day when I was 10 years old seemed at least 100 times longer than one day today. I am being conservative with my numbers. It does appear we are approaching a zero point of some kind. The Mayan's did say December 21, 2012 marked "The End of Time". It just may be they were being quite literal.
