I'm still disappointed that Y2K was such a bust and TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) didn't happen on or shortly after January 1, 2000. I was expecting a near-total failure of the power grid, economic collapse, imposition of martial law, food riots, and even cannibalism of corpses lying in the streets. Such an anti-climax when I spent the first day of the new millennium watching college football on the tube, just like any other new year's day. I still have a good supply of dehydrated Y2K food, though some of it has since been given to food banks (the stuff has a shelf life of at least 20 years). I've long since spent the cash I pulled out of my bank account in late December 1999. Didn't buy gold, silver or platinum bars, though investment in precious metals might not be such a bad idea. What kind of prediction did Yogananda make? He's been dead since 1952, no? Keval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Wow , Great letter ! Mr Brooker , hit the nail right on the head. Whatever happens happens. It's Gods will. I would not spend too much of my time worrying. Spend it on becoming a better person, father, husband, or wife etc etc.. Mike Brooker <patria1818 wrote: --- "E.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 I noticed that Amma's words in the 2003 Rhode Island letter said "large-scale disaster" actually...which is a little less alarming then world cataclysm. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. Lisa Ammachi, Tony Shimkus <ammastony> wrote: > Wow , Great letter ! > > Mr Brooker , hit the nail right on the head. Whatever happens happens.
