I'm learning new stuff everyday... It's time to stop shrugging things off because they are no considered normal. I'm taking this Alien theory into consideration. Even though there is not 100% proof of something happening in 2012 or aliens for the matter.. It's still something to think about!
Good on you!! Just remember to consider all these things
reasonably, not necessarily logically. Many times logic will get in the way of truth.
It is also wise to consider, and perhaps learn, some of the more ancient philosophies in an attempt to understand what may or may not have happened. In some of those philosophies, it has been said that all things exist at once, there is no "time" as time is merely a reference point. According to some, it is possible to shift from one reality to another, one time to another (maybe), and certainly to shift around in this reality. While these are not considered by anthropology/archaeology, they well be valid nonetheless. What must be considered when dealing with these things in reference to our modern studies of them is that we tend to place those people within
our ideas, and in my own layman studies, "it ain't necessarily so"; and that comes from the descendants of the people studied, not from our "experts". I deem it reasonable to consider the local legends and those natives familiar with them as a valid part of studying the ancient civilizations.
As a quickie for instance, it is claimed by certain Southwest Indians that walking Indian file will cause (eventually) a shift in perception. It may be difficult to find someone to perform the lead function, but if you can, give it a try. The process is this: you, as a follower, will attempt to place your feet in the prints of the person in front of you. That is your entire function, your only function. One could, in some remote sense, consider this as self hypnosis, but it isn't; the function is to fill your senses with one thing, and one thing only. In doing so, your perceptions change (after a lot of practice), and the world around becomes a little different place. In effect, you flood your senses with one activity, and thereby cease to describe the world to yourself. So, it might be more accurate to state that this is more of a form of meditation, rather than hypnosis. One thing is guaranteed: when you succeed in stopping the description (called "stopping the world") and look around you, your world will never be quite the same. In short, the world is
not what you think it is now, and that understanding comes with the success of stopping the world. This is the simplest method I've encountered. Give it a try. You could even follow your own tracks.
