Will the whole world really wake up?

[highpriestess]

Hello zack231,

I understand your frustration completely. I too used to have a group of acquaintances/friends who's sole purpose seemed to be getting wasted, stoned, f*ed up, etc. Funny about that, I don't have to 'deal' with that problem anymore as I no longer have too many friends, but I'm fine with that. I was tired of dealing with that mentality (and being the sober babysitter) and over time have distanced myself. At a certain point in our lives, we have the conscious ability to choose who we have relationships with. I love them all, but it is your choice as to whether or not you love them in your personal vicinity.

I also share your hope regarding the world-wide awakening. I often ask myself, what will it take for true change to happen? I find it depressing that it seems in some cases the only way true change and awakening occur is with a high level catalyst. I do not wish harm to anyone, nor this planet, but at the same time it really makes me wonder how far things must go before the light can be seen and embraced.

Perhaps it's a poor example, but it makes me think of the proverbial drug addict. An old friend's sister was addicted to meth and kept continually using and using. Tried to get sober only to get dragged back. DUIs and arrests, still didn't take. It made me so sad for her and her family, because the whole time I'm wracking my brain asking What will it take for her to attain freedom from this? And it makes me sad, because the only thing that stopped her was being near death.

I think a byproduct of the veil is such that those who are not yet awakened, who are so asleep, need a veritable shaking to the core to finally grasp that which lies beyond (or truly, within) themselves.
