did anyone else feel god led them to 2012?

this year I have been noticing more and more "synchronicities" as pinchbeck talks about during the first phase of psychic awakening. they were occuring so frequently I sort of thought i was having a schizophrenic break as i am 24 now and traditional rationality was telling me i was going crazy. i thought the large amount of ketamine i did 4 years ago had deceived me into thinking i was touching god when in reality i was fracturing my reality in a bad way. but as these sychnocities multiplied exponentially in the last 6 months as well as meeting the most talented musician I've ever heard, I started to believe that something was coming and my mind was being forced to see it and prepare for it. __________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ after reading "genesis race" by Will Hart and then watching Akira and I am legend, i started noticing that I am thinking these ideas before i see or read them. this really freaked out me and my friends who were witness to "prophetic" ideaologies. I thought i was gaining certain powers that my musician friend has (psychic powers, telepathy, reading emotions of people who aren't even in the room). now i'm stating to believe that im just tapping into this "archetype" within us that seeks a higher power and we are currently being prepared for it making the signs more obvious to the observant and open-minded. . __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________ ______ in short I feel like I was led to this book during my holiday shopping. it was in an obscure part of the store on the bottom level but it somehow was calling to me. within it's pages were the exact things I was ready to hear confirmed because i had been forming these ideas on my own but pinchbeck just synthesizes and crystalizes these archetypical notions so perfectly. I consider myself a modern day shaman as well and use mind altering drugs to help my spiritual quest to understand the nature of god. I'm a major poster on bluelight.ru and I'm currently in pharmacy school. suffice to say I am a well-educated scientist who is struggling to unlock the philosophical mysteries before they are fully revealed in the next few years. oh yeah I am big into politics and i see obama winning Iowa as a huge moment in human history. end n00b rant

being stoned (even pot) led me into hearing other people's conversations (grocery stores, etc.), or the radio or tv as either answering current thoughts or questions i had or like i was weirdly prescient. a little disconcerting at the time. there wasnt a lot of info readily available about what to expect on trips.

i believe everything knowable is available to us and if we are 'open' it seems to be more accessible. im not sure how god fits in to that.

Actually I was led to the book by the kind woman at the bookstore in Nevada City. I was looking for Breaking Open the Head, but she was sold out of that and referred me to 2012. I knew about 2012, but wanted to start on Breaking Open the Head first before I read 2012.

Originally I heard Pinchbeck on Coast to Coast AM and was intrigued by his conversation, and had been considering reading his books for several years.

I have never felt that GOD leads me anywhere. Yet, I do feel like I am going in a direction if that makes any sense. I wouldn't go as far to say an omnipotent being is leading me specifically anywhere.

Maybe if this being could perform some serious multitasking and could lead everyone around all at the same time. But there is no evidence of that from my perspective.

I can relate to thinking about ideas before I encounter them. However, that does not mean, you are psychic, IMO. It just means you thought about it, and so did someone else. Is it difficult to realize our thoughts are not unique? Or... do we just have a difficult time relinquishing ownership of ideas to others? Ideas we think are ours, perhaps are everyones, but usually we're all just looking for ways to capitilize on our "own" ideas. I like sharing them. :D
