When we all sat around at the end of December, 1999 waiting for who knows what, one of my friends told me then that nothing wold happen. I had believed, to some degree, that something unknown would happen. Anything from the sky opening up, to computers crashing around the world, to anything catastrophic like meteors, asteroids, whatever.

He told me that he wasn't concerned, yet. He made mention of some type of thing that had been done to the calender thousands of years ago adding a few hours to ever year, going unnoticed. After a few thousand years, the calender would be ofset by about 7 years. 7 years, 7 months and a few days, roughly 7.

This is supposed to be the actual new millenium. So what's supposed to happen then?
Have no idea, but I no my friend is no end of time eclectic that spouts off crazy things like this. I've known him for over 25 years and consider him a logic and viable source of information.

This, however, does my heart little good knowing that I'm about 7 months from something that will blindside (possibly) many or perhaps this will be just another hyped up day in history.

I'm hoping for the hyped up thing, personally. Has anyone else heard anything about this?









I heard something along these lines about leap year and the adjustment of the calanders. But I think its just a nother day.

7-04 The U.S. is created in 1246. Over 500 years later to the day, the Declaration of Independence is approved.
I'm sure there are others, but that's just off the top of my head.

What's really wierd is this:


On 7-7-07 at 7:00(pm), you experienced a 70 minute power outage.
However, when considering that across the span of this planet we live on, there are essentially 24 different times, and two different days going on at any given moment, what is the actual significance of a date and a time?

It's different everywhere, practically, all at the same time!!!


Remember 1-01-01 (as if that was significant in some way???). Well, all hell was supposed to break loose at the advent of a new millenium (for reasons I have yet to quite figure out...since it wasn't the beginning of a new millenium anyway). But, the problem, is it was actually 1-1-01 in China 12 hours or so before it was 1-1-01 in the Eastern Unites States. There is no such thing as 1-1-01, or any date, or any man-made time designation which means anything tangible, or describes some concurrent event...anywhere.


Look...

As I write this, the time is 6:15pm on 7-11-07 where I am.
In Adelaide, South Australia it is 7:45 am on 7-12-07.


Both these times and dates are real, as pertain to their respective locations...


Tell me, how is a date and a time significant, given such facts?

7-7-07, 1-1-01...it's all baloney.

You agree with the idea that "911", being the emergency code in much of the United States being a coincindence with the date of a terrorist attack on U.S. soil?What sort of thinking provides such luminosity?That the U.S was "created" on 7-4-1246? (What? crying.gif ) And, that 500 years later the Declaration of Independence was signed?????Did you actually read that before you "agreed" with it?Perhaps History was not a subject of much import to you. In 1246, we couldn't have created the U.S., since in 1246, it was still about 250 years before the Americas were actually discovered, and about another 130 years before anyone form Europe had actually settled in the Americas, and another 150 years before the Revolution started, which would provide the impetus for the creation of the United States.......my GOD!In the 13th century, were talking Genghis and Kublai Khan, the Magna Carta, Marco Polo, Thomas Aquinas and Francis of Assisi! Where does this odd notion that the U.S. was created on 7-1-1246 come from?!?!?! The Americas were UNKNOWN THEN!

Yes...but...did it ever occur to you that 7+7+7=21 and that 21 divided by 3 = 7 and
that furthermore 7 +7+7+1+2=24? Insignificant huh? Exactly! It is only significant if you add 7+7+1 which = 15. And then add 2+7 which = 9. Then add the 15 and the 9 and you get .............24! See!? Either way it comes out the same! Now, if you were to divide 24 by 3 you would get 8....and what does the 8 represent? Well, it comes AFTER 7 doesn't it? Exactly! So, therefore, if we have 8 coming after 7 and 24 coming after 21, the only real difference is that 24 comes THREE after 21...right? So, logically then you would take the 1 that comes after 7 and the 3 that come after 24 and add them together for a sum of 4. Now, take the 4 and watch what happens when we add it to 15+21. You get a total of 40. And exactly what is so significant about the number 40 you ask? Namely that 40 divided by 4= 10....do the math...add the 4 to the 10 for a sum of 14...divide that by two...and you get...7. SEVEN! Interesting how that works out isn't it?

unfortunately as interesting as it is, people do WHATEVER it takes to get the EXACT number they want regardless how ridiculous it is

I'm still unconvince, Unless there are some world wide miracle something good that will happened on that day. (no. concerts and plan events doesn't count)

Every single year, this triple threat theory only managed to debunk itself every single time. How do believers kept on believing this ridiculous theory? It's funny how people gets, "Oh I must have miscount" every single time when NOTHING happens? How long till they wait until they realized nothing is going to happen? Don't they ever get tired?

it's like that psychic on American Idol Audition, she foresee she gets it, and then surprise... surprise.. =/

Added to that the extra energetic magic of powerful times... dates.... Look at how Asian culture is based on the year of the Dragon... for power and good luck... how many babies were brought on so that they could be born...on the 8/8/88 ... then there is Feng Sui ...

Guys, get over with it. Its already (at least here) July 13, 2007 and nothing happened again… as usual. Time is something man created, if they from the beginning made 30 secs = 1 minute, everything would be different. If a month had 15 days instead of 30/31 we would have 24 months, not 12, so, it’s a convention in my opinion… We created, define things, rules, etc… Its not different with date and time.

Even scientists acknowledge that the 'moon' effects tides... hormones....glands. emotions..regulates Melatonin... the reproductive cycle of many of the worlds life... The sun... light... effects the Pineal glands... so that if it doesn't get enough sunlight we experience depression..... so if those two can affect our lives so intrinsically why not the other planets????? ...Stars???

Many religious dates rely planetary influences.... there must be a valid reason for this???

http://www.dlshq.org/religions/ekadasi.htm
The moon is supposed to influence the mind. The mind is also made up of material substance. The mind is not spiritual but material. How is mind matter? This can be known if we know how, in Homeopathy, the medicine is manufactured. In Allopathy, they give the crude base of a medicine, which Homeopathy calls mother tincture. In Homeopathy, one drop of mother tincture is mixed with hundred drops of rectified spirit and shaken with a tremendous force. That mixture is one potency of medicine. One drop of that is mixed in hundred drops of spirit again. It becomes 2 potency medicine. Likewise, they have larger potencies. So, you can imagine what happens to the medicine when it reaches the higher potency. There is no medicine at all. So, Homeopathy says, they give no medicine, but a vibration,—vibration of the original base-material. It is a subtle aromatic vibration, aromatic in the sense of the subtle residium of the original medicine; and what will create a circumstance in Allopathy will remove that very circumstance in Homeopathy. Nevertheless this potency is material in the sense that it is formed of matter. So is the mind. It is the subtle portion of the material substance of our food. The subtle essence of the food, not only directly taken through the mouth but through all senses, contribute to the make up of the mind or the mind-stuff. Mind is material in a subtle sense, like a mirror which is made of earth-material only, though it shines. Only the mirror is able to reflect light, and not the brick, though it is also made of the earth material. Mind is material in this sense. It is very, very subtle and is made up of everything that we take. So, matter influences matter. Planets are not spiritual bodies, and yet they influence the mind. The mind's presiding deity is moon. Ekadasi is particularly relevant to this relation of moon and mind. You will find that, when you go deep into the study of astronomy, you have nothing in your body except some planetary influences! We are made up of planetary forces and there is nothing independent to call our own. One part belongs to one planet and another part to another planet. If each planet claims its part, you will disintegrate. The moon influences the mind in its orbital relative movement with reference to other planets and us.

about 9-11-2001. find out what date the twin towers were built. find out when the harbour that has the buildings was discovered. there is so much that that date carries. the terrorists use your mind and your memory to get the greatest horror effect they can.
I believe y'all are looking at it in the wrong way.
12-12-2012 is the end of the Mayan calendar, right?
Could that be a beginning of no calendars? No appointments, no more having to hurry, no more having to lug around this glob of flesh.

When we all sat around at the end of December, 1999 waiting for who knows what, one of my friends told me then that nothing wold happen. I had believed, to some degree, that something unknown would happen. Anything from the sky opening up, to computers crashing around the world, to anything catastrophic like meteors, asteroids, whatever.

He told me that he wasn't concerned, yet. He made mention of some type of thing that had been done to the calender thousands of years ago adding a few hours to ever year, going unnoticed. After a few thousand years, the calender would be ofset by about 7 years. 7 years, 7 months and a few days, roughly 7.

This is supposed to be the actual new millenium. So what's supposed to happen then?
Have no idea, but I no my friend is no end of time eclectic that spouts off crazy things like this. I've known him for over 25 years and consider him a logic and viable source of information.

This, however, does my heart little good knowing that I'm about 7 months from something that will blindside (possibly) many or perhaps this will be just another hyped up day in history.

I'm hoping for the hyped up thing, personally. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Why in the hell would something happen on a date? numbers mean nothing, they are a means of measuring the actions around us, why would some random catastrophe happen on earth because of a man made way to record there existence, do you think aliens have the dates as us? why wouldnt it happen to them to? its just a load of media hyped garbage sleepy.gif

Why in the hell would something happen on a date? numbers mean nothing, they are a means of measuring the actions around us, why would some random catastrophe happen on earth because of a man made way to record there existence, do you think aliens have the dates as us? why wouldnt it happen to them to? its just a load of media hyped garbage sleepy.gif


I would agree with what you said about 'man made dates'...
However, 'number' is the base of existance... you and everything you and the Universe are made of equate to 'number'. perhaps our 'written' language number is a man made measurement yes, but a rock and another rock, make more then one rock.... etc...
A cell, splits and is more then one cell....
You mate and produce baby... but you cant do that alone eh?

Thats a really good point... counting time is a very human concept but does it really exist?


The 'method' of 'counting' perhaps we can question to some degree, but take the 'language/number' out of it and then does time exist?
who knows, but we can measure / see without measure, that we 'move' in a circle while existing on this Earth ball... it doesn't randomly travel thru Solar system and universe, we move in a consistant circular motion around a sun... is that 'time'? Or a 'concept of time' minus the 'concept of the current clock system'?

what are we counting down too, here? the millenium or 9/11 2.0?

Hello Themis

Hard to say anything except that I have been in that place of uncertainty, fear and grief very recently.

If you pray and believe that the soul leaves 'like taking off a tight shoe' and this is but a parting for a time, it is easier to take, as it was for me.

From a stranger across the world: May you have all the strength and many good moments still to be shared and enjoyed.

Remember that any pain can be fully controlled, so insist on this.
