The expectations that something will happen in the year 2012 could cause people to find something to confirm their belief in that expectation. So it is my duty to state that I am talking about a "what if" potential. If nothing happens different then the norms then others would be disappointed and perhaps depressed. Many of those who held great hopes of change in the 60s or during the 80s just got burned out because each advance forward got trampled upon by another war or whatever.
However even those failed attempts set the foundations for more to come and we are progressing and expanding the mission.
Also I wanted to mention that this blog will seem to jump around until all the bits can be put together to complete the puzzle.
Not sure what novelty might happen in 2012 to alter human destiny but lets look at some of the past events that had a lasting impact on our historical pathway through time.
As outlined in another of my blogs the campfire was one of the first things to impact our history. Although we take such things for granted now-a-days.
The next event I believe was an attempt to domesticate the gods and godesses. That might sound shocking and I do not mean to offend anyone with this insight that I came up with (which I cannot prove).
A village of people depended on nature to supply them with food and other needs and they believed that the Great Spirit would reward or punish the village through what we now call "acts of God", a hurricane, a long dry spell, a volcano eruption, the ice age, or good weather that resulted in an abundance of food and other supplies. (and so forth).
One thing they feared was the wild dogs but one day they learned to tame the dogs by offering to share food with the animals. The dogs became good friends with the humans and became useful for purposes like hunting, protection, etc.
Give a dog a bone and you have a friend for life.
So a Chief might of thought - perhaps we can make friends with Mother Nature if we make offerings to the Great Spirit. So people formed a new relationship with the powers and the glory so demonstrated by nature. It must of worked because the ritual continued for ages and ages and even now it is still done in some circles.
Offering something back for what you have recieved became a new pattern in human behaviorism. If you partake of nuts form a tree then you plant some of them so that more trees can grow. The science of farming emerged.
Humans have been able to domesticate much of nature however we remain at the mercy of nature even today, it would be wise to keep that in mind folks.... and even if evil spells live backwards and dog spells god backwards we should not get the idea we can con the Creator.
Yet many still would like to have a domesticated God that would do their bidding and will, they would like to be the master of all things. Until they get a rude awakening.
Anyway farming changed human histroy as well as our abilty to domesticate farm animals. In my next blog I will present my own story about that .
Changes - the invention of clocks and calendars, the written word, the construction of large buidings and cities, the use of money, the atom bomb, the computer, etc.
Jesus was a novelty that changed the direction of western history, buddha changed it in the east. To mention only two people. Darwin the his theory and the discovery of dinosaur fosils.
One of the last important events was the return of women to their role as spiritual leaders, they wrote books, gave lectures, and generated a whole new influence on our philosophy about life and our relationships with others.
