Scary 2012
Everybody talks about 2012. Not only people who are already on the spiritual path, but also people who are not into spirituality at all. Some of them even see spirituality as an esoteric rip off. Many people jump on the 2012-band wagon to make a profit, such as the film industry. Others think that in 2012 the big change in mankind will take place.
What are you waiting for? You are already in the middle of what 2012 is about! In the middle of the personal and global process of deep changes. They have already started. You have only got to open the newspapers, switch on the TV, or radio, or go through life with your eyes open! These changes are underway, they started in 1987 and will be so clear in 2012 that everybody will see them. 21st December, 2012 is just an astronomic date, a deadline so to say. Nothing more and nothing less.
It is still up to you people how hard these changes will be. They are linked with your awareness. The more you accept the changes as part of your life, the less they will hit you. The more you fight against these enormous changes, the more you will see and feel them in your life.
Don’t think these changes are just a step from one generation or period to the next. The transformation process you are currently undergoing, is unique in the history of man. It feels like waking up from a thousand years’ sleep. Your soul wants to be heard and you will be connected with your Higher Self, with the spiritual world, with the “stars”. You remember for the first time who you really are. And this is far more than looking back at former lives! You will get into resonance with the divine essence which lives inside everyone of us.
Do you understand now why things in the outside world go bust and break? Because everything that you have created as your reality over centuries, what was “your world and your reality”, has nothing to do with your divine essence. It vibrates on a much higher light frequency and needs an adequate environment now. Therefore a lot of your old values go downhill. Something new has to emerge which can be much easier than anything you have built up over the last thousands of years.
Don’t be scared! Let go and trust the spiritual world, the angels, the Ascended Masters, the highly developed dead, they will all accompany you into the new age. Don’t be afraid!

2 senators want to cut military spending!
Senators Call for Overseas Base Closures
Stars and Stripes|by Leo Shane III
WASHINGTON — A pair of U.S. senators are calling for full review of the costs of overseas military bases, saying that closing dozens of the foreign facilities could save billions in wasteful spending.
Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, on Wednesday introduced legislation to create a new commission to “scrutinize the necessity of the United States’ current overseas basing structure” and do a cost-benefit analysis of closing multiple overseas bases.
Earlier in the week, the pair sent a letter to the congressional supercommittee charged with trimming $1.2 trillion in government spending, urging them to make significant cuts in future overseas military construction projects.
In particular, the letter called into question U.S. military projects in Europe and on Guam, saying the Defense Department has not justified the need for billions more in base spending there.
In a statement, Hutchison called the commission an important step toward ending unnecessary military spending.
“With today’s historic levels of debt, we need to move quickly to identify ways that we can bring our military training capabilities home, create American jobs in military construction and save taxpayer dollars without sacrificing the security needs of U.S. forces and the American people,” she said.
In May, Tester petitioned the Defense Department to consider closing Cold War-era military installations on foreign soil, saying the move could save billions of taxpayer dollars.
The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform earlier this year estimated that “responsible” overseas base closings could save taxpayers $8.5 billion in the next four years. The president’s own Commission on Debt Reduction put that figure closer to $9 billion.
But Defense Department officials have pushed back on those claims. In June, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that those savings don’t include the corresponding military construction needed stateside to house returning troops, and don’t take into account the strategic risk such moves would invite.
“The biggest policy question that has to be asked is what kind of signal do you want to send the rest of the world,” Gates told members of the Senate Appropriations Committee. “Are we basically sending the message to the rest of the world, to China, to Iran, to North Korea … that the U.S. is closing up and heading home? What kind of a role do you want for the United States in the world?”
The eight-member panel would be appointed by both Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate. The legislation would have to be approved by both chambers and signed into law by the president before becoming law.
