Eleven years ago I started writing down my thoughts and questions with regard to spirituality. This was before I read any ET or anyone else for that matter. One entry might be of interest. It does not claim to be anything more than that, except perhaps to me.

"When you allow your mind to fall silent It allows the spiritual to act on you. You become infused by the spiritual. This may simply be from your own spiritual self or from outside spiritual forces entering through your spiritual self. It can be recognized in the physical from a sence of peace and well-being, a sort of spiritual warmth. Physical and material concerns melt away and seem of no importance. Your visual and hearing sences remain active, that is , you are aware of what you are doing and what is happening around you but more as an observer than a participant. It is very difficult to achieve yet cannot be achieved by effort."

I do not know if this is the right thread where to post this question, however, I live in Italy and from what I see here the idea that ET puts forward in the PON that the evolutionary impulse of the universe is going to push as as a whole to aweken .....well I just do not see it here at all
People really live a very superficial and pleasure driven life (good food, wine, beautiful country, very selfish goals and lots of shady dealings - mafia, petty crime, racism). OUr prime minister openly cheats on his wife and puts his mistresses in positions of power and people seem to want what he has. They think he is a great guy (at least more than 50% of the population does).
I do not see anybody being driven towards awakening....what I see, not only here in Italy, but in general, is an exponential growth of devices that take the mind away from pain....computers, social networks, pornography, multiple relationships, entertainement, drinking, drugs, cell phones....
these items were not available and not as widespread years ago...so why is it that ET says that now more than ever, as humans, we have the greatest oportunity to awaken....
I just see that we have created lots of devices and ways to keep staying asleep...more and more asleep and unconscious.

Yes, nutrition, that is all there. Italy has a big cultural ego-pleasure script, deeper than say, India or even China. The evidence is pretty flimsy even in London, where, we recall, ET was summoned from to go to Vancouver. Perhaps he has some special sense we lack, or his perspective is simply too narrow...I really have no answer for your question. Any changes in my community in the State of Washington, USA, are small.
