7. I have a few:

I believe that the idea of "manifesting abundance" can be twisted to be as cruel as organized religion often is. We can use a decent idea that can help us point our energies in a good direction to blame others for their misfortunes and make us feel superior to them. It can make us hard if we see others as having surely erred in their thinking and thus caused their own problems. We can abandon compassion and fail to see that people can be harmed through no fault of their own. And through ignoring people's suffering we ignore causes that can be changed, enabling further suffering through our misguided thinking.

I think 2012 will come and go. If we focus attention of achieving something positive out of this perceived milestone then we will. And I would be just fine with that. And if we do, then the people who predicted that were right to begin with.

I believe that there is quite a lot to the UFO phenomenon and have been fascinated by the idea and devouring information about it since childhood. But no, I have never had a sighting (yet). I didn't know this was unpopular, but since someone else mentioned it I thought I would fess up.

I believe that our bodies are not evil, sex is good and not evil; and we need to fully experience being human instead of wasting this physical life trying to run from it.

I don't believe in end times, never did for a minute. Everything cycles.

Sometimes I really wonder if our reality isn't the mid-term project of a couple of college sophomores in the REAL reality, and they do most of the programming on the weekends after the all night beer blasts following the football games.
