I have definitely reached a personal awakening, that seems to be speeding up somewhat...
I feel i have accelerated very quickly in this last year, and feel ive been guided to alot of info.
I also look at so many things differently, and things that used to seem important, just dont anymore.
Material things seem to be worth nothing, as for money, im really starting to hate money. I feel i can see what we are really here for, and what we should be doing. But i also feel we are heading in the opposite direction to what we should.

Yes me too. I've been trying to go to basics. Can't even begin to tell you how much stuff I have taken to Goodwill. If it weren't for my husband - my furnishings would be pillows and blankets on the floor. Money just seems like a piece of paper to me with no real value.

Cracks me up -- I just cooked my first pot of beans from scratch last week. For some reason it seems important to me to be able to cook raw basic foods.

BUT - can you explain the "heading in the opposite direction" to me. I'm not sure I know what you mean by that.

I think "awakening" is a misleading term. I've had several points in my life where I have realized that I don't want to continue on the path I was on. I'd think the term "realization" would fit better for this kind of thing.

I find it interesting that the OP wants to move away from the city. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. I've lived in a small town most of my life and I always think to myself how exciting life would have been if I was born into a life in the city.

I don't think I've experienced any sort of major shift in my life yet as I'm still not sure what path I'll ultimately end up on. I doubt myslef constantly and I imagine that I will "awaken" when I can get over these doubts and just do... something. Learn to take risks... take confidence in my own abilities instead of asking myself "what if" all the time. I imagine I'd enjoy my life a lot more if I could do that.

The grass is never greener - its just different grass.

If you are energy sensitive - the city can be very disabling.

I don't think we are exactly talking about everyday living as in "an exciting life". That can be a little more leaning toward physical bindings.

I am from a small rural town myself, have been to most of the big cities in the states, Canada, and Mexico; the grass being greener is not the issue, friend;

I wish to be away from all the negativity, the prejudice, the dog eat dog every day reality of "normal" people, do not want to be a part of the system that chains them to the cage they are all in, blinded by living for all the wrong reasons, polluting our air and water, screwing everyone over so they can get ahead, seeing how many possesions they can aquire just so they have more than their neighbors.

Being out in nature, away from "civilization" is when I find peace. The green grass, trees, and the animals soothe me.

read my earlier posts; all I need is a place to sleep and I can grow or gather food, don't need a phone, electricity, or indoor plumbing,would cheerfully never look at money again; just need good neighbors wanting to live in harmony with nature and each other.

thanks for joining in, and good luck; listen to your inner voice and do all things with love, for yourself, and everyone else.

Ya know - - - the seeker_713g - - - I can't say I personally know anyone who is happy and content to be alone with themselves.

I've been criticized for not being openly and outwardly demonstrative.

Its weird to me how some people become very insecure around someone who is secure personally within them self.

We've become a society of outside stimulation.

Actually - there are two people I have met - that I feel completely and totally at peace in the presence of their energy. One is Jane Goodall the other is Dr. Ron Scolastico. Deepak Chopra and Doreen Virtue come close.

(not to contradict myself that I don't actively seek out spiritual leaders and information - - - these meetings were kind of work related)

Annee,

I never said I wanted to be alone; I have my group of very close friends that are of like mind, heart, and spirit, and this is going to be a group endeavour, lass; there are 5 of us that have been very close for many years, and we will all be in it together.
Someday I feel that there will be one to appear and stand beside me once more before my journey ends; until then I have the love of my friends as we enjoy life together, for we are all at peace and know who we are.

No No No - - I don't mean you are alone. I mean you are at peace with yourself that you can be alone. You don't have to have outside stimulation. That doesn't mean you don't or don't enjoy it.

I wish I had one friend in real life - that I could relate to. I've met a couple - but its always like they are on the first flight out in the morning.

Kind of like my jobs. Who else has 5 jobs in a row either close their doors or move to the opposite coast? Seriously!

Yet - I've always been taken care of. I do feel something is coming soon - something personal for me. Oh and I am very happily married to someone who fully understands me and lets me babble on if I need to. So I am not alone either.

I seem to be thinking about things that seem contrary to my human consciousness. I don't know if its info I'm being fed by evolved consciousness - - - or possible fear of suggestion from things I've read.

I keep trying to shake it out of my head/consciousness - - telling myself it is not real and I am just a normal human being affected by a type of propaganda. The planet is in peril and does need a solution. But . . .

I'm sure you've heard/read about eliminating a large portion of population by nefarious means to reduce the stress on our planet and its natural resources. And enacting a form of socialism. I'm seeing this as an organized plan put forth by beings working with our government.

I seriously do believe ET's are among us and working with our government to bring us into the space age as new members of a Federation of Planets (Yes! I do believe a Federation of Planets exists). But - what are the requirements? Is this part of what 2012 is about?

Unfortunately - I agree with your analogy.

Perhaps the Pleiadians and other benevolent groups are working their own political alliance in a "save as many as you can" campaign.

the seeker_713g -- we seem to be seeing the same thing or things.

Have you said how you receive your information? Just curious.

Thanks. Sounds kind of like me.

When I do read stuff -- I kind of filter it by what feels right. Most stuff I just kind of know somehow.

Can't say I know anyone.
