I'm asked on a frequent basis, why am I so confident and sure about issues such as global warming, the financial recession and now 2012.
First and foremost, I trust my feelings. I can feel the difference in what is fear and what is hype or hysteria. From there I look at the broader perspective and then I look at patterns of human behavior. These patterns repeat themselves time and time again, so history helps with that.
None of that is special to me, a lot of others do this too. Where a difference occurs is encourage people to be calm and take necessary steps for their own wellbeing, or to let them know they have nothing to worry about. Others see what is going on and spread panic and how we are doomed and it's the end of the world if we don't act.
Those people play on our emotions which have not changed since we first arrived here in human form. Fear, greed, control and survival have not changed over time, though what we are fearful etc about certainly has.
Of all those emotions, survival is the one that creates panic, it's the one those in power, scientists and others use to get their point across and if they are plausible enough, and present it in such a way to create doubt about our survival it will take root and grow from there.
Over the next few posts, I will cover the hot topics that are coming up at the moment.
