December 21st 2012 and the Fiscal Cliff

"Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans".  I think this applies to both these issues throughout the world.

First of all the "Fiscal Cliff" is a totally arbitrary made up concept by the Secretary of the Fed Bernanke as he spoke to the Congress. It is conceptual rather than actual. 2nd the Congress has a reputation of "kicking the Can down the road" and they are looking "Because there likely isn't enough time to do something else before Christmas" going to "kick the can" down the road once again. Since over 60% of the American people think going over the cliff will hurt them financially, in order to get re-elected likely at this point they will put some sort of band-aid in place and put it off another 6 months. But then again, who knows in the end?

In regard to December 21st 2012, it is a cultural and spiritual religious date that cannot be accurate because in reality this date likely could be any date between the 1980s to about 2025. So, likely it isn't really possible to say which one date that the  earth and solar system are in this specific relation to the rest of the Galaxy every 26,000 years or so. So, expecting the world to change on this specific date isn't logical. It is better to say that we have been in the process of this "change" since the 1980s through the 2020s.

But, in general most people feel sort of uneasy like the rug is going to be pulled out from under them in some way or another. And this is sort of an awful way to approach Christmas and the giving season. If you have no idea what is going to happen January 1st can you really get into Christmas other than putting on a good act for the kids like everything is okay? No. Most people can't.

So, maybe a good thing to do is to meditate and pray, and to get exercise so we stay healthy and maybe all the prayer and meditation and endorphins from running and exercising and hiking and maybe even skiing will make the whole problem at the very least seem much less important. And we can all wake up January 1st to a Whole New Year with new possibilities and hopes and dreams to make life worth living after having a really good Christmas and New Years Eve!
