Most believed there would be 'dramatic ' changes at the turn of the
millennium. A girl friend of mine at the time, was a programmer for
Visa. She was so concerned about the millennium bug, that she left San
Mateo and moved to Perth, Aus. Even those 'in the middle' of the
computer industry where extremely concerned, but as we know, it came
and went without incident. Of course some programmers, say it was
thanks to their ingenuity that tragedy was averted. "We stuck the
[potential] knife in, and we pulled it out again. Praise be to us "
Every man and his dog had something to say about the new millennium,
from the return of Zeus to the reversing of the polar axis.
Every belief has a seed of truth, if only symbolic. We are all
receptive to change even if we resist energetically, (the more
resistance, the greater the pain)...The real change is a shift in
awareness.
This is where it gets subtle, and why 'seers' always speak in
'quatrains' or similar.
Cycles are fundamental. Many thought that 2000 was a new beginning,
whatever their frame of reference was.There was a massive anticipation
from the 'new agers' to the fundamentalists, from the economists to
the ecologists.
Fact is, 2008 is the beginning of the first new cycle in the new
millennium. The pent up anxiety has dispersed since 2000, allowing the
next wave to hit without creating mass panic.
What a great time to practice your 'spiritual awareness'.
Enjoy ;-)
