I hear from people all the time that simply do not believe anything will really change. Some point out that there have been promises of change in the past that never came true. Pockets of people have believed they lived in the end of days and were on the verge of entering the eternal now when good would finally arrive; but it did not happen. This is true. It has happened many times according to what we've been told. Who, though, has been doing the telling? Is that part of our conditioning, our programming that keeps us in repeating the experience of impoverishment and dis-empowerment?
