Once I realized the only certain future I have is dying, all my goals I may have had disappeared! It's really easy then. Whatever happens, happens!

death is a myth. there is only ascension of consciousness to higher levels, or eternal repetition of the same process (as we are now into). repetition is the real death. people think that death = ascension, but death is what they at now = stagnation.

Get your education. Its the only way to get doors open to you into their world. Its only then that you might be able to influence the elite and get them to change their insane ways. You are where you are for a reason, its your destiny. Try eveything you can to save your family, friends and the rest of humanity.

The famous "change the System from within"?
Doesn't work. I tried. Takes too much time and when you get there you are already corrupted and overweight, unable to do anything besides crying over your bad decisions.
You need to become self-sufficient and get the fuck out of the system as soon as possible. Then concentrate in doing what you want and need and then you MIGHT be able to help others. But in order to help others you must first be finished with helping yourself, and this can take a long time. Sacrificing yourself for others without any preparation, reason or rhyme is the same as jumping off of a bridge due to a broken heart: beautiful but stupid.
There is no way to cope with the System. It's the same as coping with an assassin that takes your energy (life) and give you less in exchange. How do you cope with this? All that you can do is delay the unavoidable: death by the System.

It is because the world is falling apart that i must stay focused on my goal. My quest. * Soon all will see. Man's symbiotic connection with the cosmos will be known and there is nothing which can stop that knowing. Because everything we all do everyday helps confirm that truth. It is just that we haven't reached the pinnacle of where it leads. But we will soon enough. We will either live or die with that knowledge. Between Heaven and Earth is us.

Exactly, but this process takes too long for most humans. The System is designed to NEVER let you have sufficient time to focus on spiritual issues, personal power and a solid belief system. That's why the System created these nicely sorted belief systems for the masses. The System would crumble if everyone had motivation in life. Most people are waiting to die and that's it. Too fearful to live life and too fearful to end it: Gotcha! You have a slave.

OP, I too believe developing spiritually is very important right now, but... I'm also going back to school right now. Why?
Because, in my mind, you can never know enough.
I don't know what your major is, but if it is in any of the sciences, I'd say learn all you can. Your contribution to society could be very needed in the future.
I think the future will change rapidly, and perhaps you will not get a job in your field of study just yet, but eventually, you may. The degree itself, is secondary to any knowledge you posess.
Then again, maybe 2012 is all bullshit, like Y2K was. Who really knows?????
Stay awake to the possibilities that may occur, but also continue with your normal life. Normalacy, or the illusion of it, can keep you sane in difficult times.

You are right about not letting the abstract future control your present choices.
But trust me, some people KNOW what 2012 is all about. I'm not one of them, but I have a very good idea.
Things that seem to be abstract, undefined and beyond our grasp are not necessarily things that will remain like this forever. Infinity is a paradoxical concept that does not have any validity for the concrete reality we live in. We always think that some things will never be known, until someone finds out about it. There is always a first time, and everything that seems abstract becomes concrete after sufficient struggle.
There are experts studying 2012 from a scientific point of view, but they fail to see the spiritual implications. There are spiritualists that simply KNOW in their hearts what 2012 is all about, but they are ignorant about the physical implications that may turn the process into a nightmare. Finally, there are some people that have gone beyond a single perspective, and instead have joined all possible perspectives into a coherent whole. This is called knowledge. It's not just speculation, research or study. You just KNOW.

Everyone that looks at the evidence and thinks we are being led to our destructions has to decide how they want to resist.
No he is not going to change the system from the top but he has an education and hopefully can think outside the box. If he happens to find out certain things he should be smart enough to figure out a way to slip information, that might mean life and death for a few people, without putting himself in danger.
Also it's important to talk to people and plant the seeds that might get other people to resist. At this point everything helps if thats the way he chooses.
I did it while I had the opportunity but my career is over. The seeds I planted in other people's heads will go on though. Hopefully they are waking up....if not I can rest knowing I tried my best. Thats all anyone can do. I have no regrets.

yes it's useful up to a point to stay in the system, take what it has to offer and plant some seeds. but after sufficient time it starts to take its toll on you. i could not stand university anymore after i started connecting the dots and joining the pieces of the jigsaw.
the system will give you a very basic education that has very little to do with how things really are. too much time in university, school etc will give you tons of fragmented knowledge that will require another 10 years of your life to disfragment. it's really not a very good idea to let the system teach you. it should be the opposite: you decide what you want to learn, how much and when.
anyway, you can not help anyone trapped in the system, if you don't know how the system works by the inside. i agree with you in this point.

Keep going. This is turning into a good thread. I love to hear how people are waking up to System/Matrix and how you have been educated to accept their "reality".
I've been self-educated all of my life and do as I please. I love my self-empowerment. But it does require a spiritual education and real inner practice. But that's coming, from more teachers like us.

Re: How do you stay focused on your future goals knowing that the world is falling apart?
The world is falling apart because we are in the end times as prophesied by the Lord. This is my belief.
So my goals have totally changed to be aligned with the Lord, and my goal now is simply living for Him and spreading the gospel where and however I can. Saving souls is the only goal...Once saved then all else fades into its proper perspective and you have no fear.
Want to face the end with no fear? I can tel youhow. Call upon Jesus to forgive you of your sins, sins that are separating you eternally from God. Once you call upon Him to forgive as Savior, then make Him the Lord of your life and follow Him. From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17

I agree that the accumulation of knowledge is the best thing you can do at this moment. The more you know/are aware of, the less you can be manipulated and controlled. Since most of us know whats going on behind the scenes, we are the ones who should be taking others by the hand and leading them away from this sick, twisted way of life. We need to show people how they are enslaved via the welfare/prison state and how tptb are preparing to plunge the world into chaos.

Re: How do you stay focused on your future goals knowing that the world is falling apart?
I'm finding it very difficult to concentrate on anything other than planning for the 'survival scenario' future.
I honestly in my heart of hearts believe that there is no point in creating goals in todays society that rely on our society to flourish in the future to be of any value.
I could.. spend the next 4 years of my life going to college, getting a degree and setting myself up financially for the rest of my life. But. I feel that when the shit hits the fan, it will be survival knowledge and spiritual knowledge that will guide us through the difficult times. Knowledge derived from our current educational establishments would be useless to us in such a scenario.
So i feel that it is a waste of time to guide my life in that direction.
Im just being lazy now. I cant be bothered doing much more then contemplating the future and reading as much as i can to try and figure out what is ahead of us.
I used to be ambitious. I just 'knew' that i would have a good life because i was aware of the drive that was within me that strived to be succesfull.
But success has changed meanings now. Success is no longer having a nice house, being married with children and earning money so that i can provide for my family.
Success to me, now means to create the right frame of mind. And to align myself with the greater spiritual inteligence that permeates through our universe. To 'get right with God.'
Its his guidance that i will need to survive. Not the guidance of the church, or the schools or even the governments.
If you have faith, and love in your heart. God can guide you safely through the most trecherous waters.

Re: How do you stay focused on your future goals knowing that the world is falling apart?
For me, the past 3 years or so have been difficult because of all the new information i've been exposed to and having to live with the knowledge that the system that governs our world is rapidly collapsing. I'm starting my senior year at university this fall and its been quite a struggle for me to stay focused on school and a future career when I know for a fact that the economy will probably go to shit very soon, the US is heading towards a police state, and there is a plan in motion with the goal of eradicating a large percentage of the human race.
With this knowledge, how is it possible to continue your daily activities and keep the anxiety to a minimum? I feel like my time is running out and I try to enjoy each day as if it was my last, but I feel like I should be somewhere else doing something more important to prepare for the coming changes. Is anyone else feeling the pressure weighing down?

Gain control of your emotions. Fear is a weakness and you have the strength to not participate in this ugliness. Anything you read is either brought inside "your skin" or left outside. Learn to leave the trash outside and only bring in the positive the positive parts, let the rest lay on the ground for the trash man.
Above all "NO FEAR". Your strength is facing each day with the thoughts you want to have, NO ONE can make you feel a certain way, period. FEAR is the manipulation point. Anyone that comes at you with a comment of fear is doing nothing but showing you their weakness. When the body is weak it surcomes to invading forces that destroy it.
Do not participate in the weaknesses of this world, learn to grasp that your emotions have power and through the restraint of those emotions you will find great powers.
DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE GAME, but learn to use the game for your advantage. A degree does not make you a smarter person, BUT a degree will be your tool in developing your bag of tools to use in the manipulation game, otherwise you will find the game much harder to play. GET YOUR DEGREE and stop playing the game the way it was written.
Start each day with a positive statement in the mirror looking yourself in the eyes:
I am created here for a purpose, I have the strength to overcome all obstacles, I refuse to join in to the fear of tomorrow and will do all that I can to place a more positive attitude for others to immulate. If something does not result in the goal that I want, I will look at the situation and discern where "I" need to improve "MY" outlook to gain me success in future goals. If something happens outside my realm of influence "I" will consider it a distraction and realize that it is a chapter in this book of life that does not apply to me. I will add my positive mark on this world regardless of the material gain that will be forthcoming. When all else around me is falling apart, I will always realize that I have not and will not change who I am. Lessons in life are not here to make me miserable but to make me a stronger individual and recognize my strengths. I can overcome all obstacles placed in my way, by choosing to only attack those obstacles that I have the emotional tools to deal with. There is nothing in your life that can stop you, except yourself by your choices. It is a choice to let the world chaos affect me in a negative way. I am protected and I choose to have a happy and abundant life.
Look back at the hate and worries of all generations before us. They manifested their worries into existance. You can change the world by refusing to let your emotions be manipulated by fear. Your strength is in controlling your emotions and not releasing it to the fear of who will become president, how the gas prices are effecting you, how close to world war III are or what will happen if I don't pass this class. You are currently learning how to set objectives and deliver on those objectives. Each class whether great or boring is an objective, look at the objective and focus your energies on attacking the things you can. Learn how to determine what is needed to achieve that objective and deliver it, you have the strength, us it. You will be the Golaith in your thoughts.
When we realize that we have the control, and collectively we determine we want change, things will change toward our ultimate goal whether individually or collectively. FEAR is our weakness and if you really look around yourself you see that the current world is flooded with it. You fear will change nothing, but your strength in who you are, what you are and how you think will change alot.
Good luck with school and realize that ANYTHING you apply love, compassion, and goodwill thoughts will manifest itself in your life. FEAR is a block from achieving the life you want for yourself and others.
