I must admit, I have my “down” moments when thinking about the economy. These gray winter days don’t help much either. I found that this inspirational winter quote embedded in my inspirational photo of Lake Champlain in Vermont helped to lift my spirits. I hope it does yours too.
Here’s another lovely comment I received on my Facebook Page, (Facebook.com/CarolChapman8) when I asked the question: With all that negative thought, why didn’t the world end on December 21, 2012?
Continue readingI would like to think that the human mind is more positive than even we ourselves give it credit for so it would far outweigh any negative thoughts that we could have about these “predictions”. We keep on surprising ourselves ?

As a result of the lovely, hopeful comments I received on my Facebook page (Facebook.com/CarolChapman8) when I asked the question: With all that negative thought, why didn’t the world end on December 21, 2012? I’ve been thinking.
And, my conclusion is that: We (humanity) must, on the whole, be thinking thoughts of gratitude, love, and hope all the time. When I think about it, there are many people who, when I’m in their presence, I feel happy. Is this your experience also?

Actually, I feel quite a bit better now that I put this inspirational quote and photo together. If you’re also struggling with grumpiness this morning, I hope this quote puts a smile on your face, or at least a twinkle in your eye.
When I asked my question a couple of days ago, “If thoughts are things, and 10% worldwide thought the world would end on December 21, 2012, why didn’t the world end?” I feel happy, because I received the following two replies on my CarolChapman8 Facebook Page:

With all that fear floating around, did the world not end because:
1. Thoughts aren’t things and volcanoes explode, earthquakes shake, and solar radiation sizzles independent of anything teeny, tiny humans (even 7 million strong) think
2. It takes the thought of much more than 700 million or 10% of the earth’s population to cause massive earth changes
3. There’s always a lot of human-based fear on earth. This fear around the 2012 date, was just part of the usual mix and therefore insignificant
4. Even though the mind of human’s may be full of fear, in balance, there are so many happy thoughts, grateful thoughts, and just the body’s innate will to live that counteract the surface fear of the mind
5. Other
So, I’ve been thinking. If all 10% of the world’s population were thinking and also feeling so much fear, why didn’t the world end?
Please understand, I’m not saying that the world should have ended, because the Mayan calendar ended on that date and the Mayan prophecy said the world was going to end. That’s total rubbish. If you’ve seen my movie End of the World 2012 Movie or read my books, End of the World 2012 Book and EBook, you know that I investigated the Mayan “prophecy” and discovered it wasn’t a prophecy at all. And, that, in the movie and books, I reveal places where archaeologists have discovered Mayan ruins with Long Count Calendar dates past December 21, 2012.
That’s not what I’m talking about. What I’m talking about is the Reuters News survey, which I’ve mentioned before in this blog, that said that 10% of the people in the world feared that because the Mayan calendar was going to end, it meant the world was going to end. That’s what they thought. Based on rumor, media sensationalism, droves of books on 2012, and internet buzz, 10% of the world’s population believed (incorrectly) that the Mayan calendar was going to end.
Although 10% doesn’t seem like much (8% agreed somewhat and 2% agree absolutely), as it turns out, since the world’s population is seven billion, 10% is of the world’s seven-billion population is 700 million.
I’m really interested in your input on this topic. Part of the reason I made my movie and wrote my books, is that I wanted people to feel less afraid. So, it’s a topic I’ve been thinking about for a while.

I love eagles–the way they soar and that they look so regal.
This Wiki.answers website, How high can a bald eagle fly?, has some magnificent photos of bald eagles.
Take a look if you like eagles.

I assume that eagles are considered the messengers of the gods, because they fly so amazingly high. In fact, I have seen them flying so high that they were partially obscured by wispy clouds and no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence. In fact, when I saw them fly so high, I wondered if perhaps they had disappeared, they looked so tiny. But then, they flew to a lower altitude and I could see they had merely flown so high I could hardly see them. According to this Wiki answers article:
Bald Eagles are commonly reported by hang glider pilots in the Owens valley along the California/Nevada border to fly far above 15,000 feet. They will circle with hang gliders, sometimes flying only 10′ off their wingtip. They will share the same rising thermal for many thousands of feet before the hang glider pilot or the Eagle leaves the thermal and flies on.
I’m using the image above in my PowerPoint presentation on Have Your Heart’s Desire as a beautiful symbol of the energy path you create when you pray.

I took this photo in Homer, Alaska, during a speaking tour in 2009. Homer has a spit of land that juts out into the Pacific Ocean. There are many bald eagles there, probably because they love to eat fish and they can hunt in the ocean that surrounds the spit.
I just received the suggestion on my Facebook page, to present prayer as an energy path. I like that.
