Chapter 54

2012

 

This chapters is onlys fors the crazy peoples.  If you’re nots crazys, just skips to the next chapter.

It’s currently Friday, the 13th of November, 2009.   Today, the new movie 2012 premiered in America.  I just finished watching it.  As with most things I find myself attracted to, this movie was laced with a number of “coincidences” that are aligned with the details of my life.
                It’s probably just my huge ego.  I tend to believe that I’m the center of the universe.  I’ve always felt this way.  Although, after watching this movie, I’m starting to wonder if it might really be true.
                One of the main characters in the film is a struggling “outside-the-box” author named Jackson Curtis, who only managed to sell a few hundred copies of his first book.  His book, Farewell Atlantis, is an apocalyptic tale that blends conspiracy, politics and ideology.  Some folks considered the guy a “nut-job” and didn’t really give him the proper respect.
                His ideas end up being “on the money.”
                Another character in the film is a survivalist blogger named Charlie Frost, who broadcasts via “pirate radio” out of his mobile home.  He’s an even bigger “nut-job” who warns the world of the impending apocalypse, and discusses all types of government conspiracies.  Coincidentally, his character is played by Woody Harrelson.  “Woody” is the nickname my mom gave me as a youngster; most of my family still calls me that to this day.

Just a coincidence.
                Remember the coincidences regarding the names “Rabbit” and “Nick” in the movie Route 666 that led to the Route 66 Testimony?
                I wonder where these movie coincidences are going to lead.
                Have you been to the website www.CharlieFrost2012.com ?  What did you discover?
                For some reason, on Sunday, I was inspired to purchase my first book dealing with survivalism, Neil Strauss’ Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life.  I finished his book yesterday.  I’ve never felt the urge to read anything on survivalism before.  I was drawn to Neil’s work because I read one of his other books this summer:  The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup-Artists.  Neil and I have similar lifestyles and writing styles.  Not to mention, the first page in Neil’s book Emergency shows an image of a guy being cut in half by lightning.  That resonates with what you read in Chapter 39, “Like Lightning From Heaven.”
                Try to keep up; I’m going to be all over the place in this chapter.  I remember my first “nut-job” broadcasting episode.  I had been inspired with a “revelation” that connected the events of 9/11 to Revelation 19:11 - 21 in the Bible.  Keep in mind, the Book of Revelation is the 66th book of the Bible—the final one.  Just figured I’d toss that in, so I could add more validity to my “nut-job” classification.  :]
                I pondered the insanity for a couple days, regarding whether or not I was going to use my radio show as a platform to share my revelation.  I explained it to my dear friend Jenny, who asked me, “Have you told anyone about this?”
                I said “No.”  I knew she was worried about folks thinking I was crazy.  But if you listened to my explanation, you had to admit, it made sense (as long as you were crazy).
                I decided I had to do it.  Eminem’s song “Lose Yourself” was popular at the time, and I used that to pump me up—giving me the courage to go through with it.  I had a countdown every night at 9 pm.  I could rearrange the songs however I saw fit.  I knew I wanted to express my “Revelation 19:11” and then play the Eminem song.  Then I wanted to get the hell out of there.
                And that’s what I did.  I’ll never know how many people heard it.  It probably took a good five minutes for me to explain.  I was reading out of the Bible on a Pop Music radio station—explaining how Revelation 19:11 - 21 coincided with the events of 9/11 (and what was to come).
                I spoke my piece, left the building two hours early, picked up a six-pack of beer, and headed home.  I just knew they were going to fire me.  I thought about what I was going to do when I returned to Virginia.  It was a relief; I was done with Birmingham.
                They didn’t fire me.
                I was back on-air the next night.  Shucks.  That was back in 2002.

I spent the next few years studying the political systems, learning about the New World Order, and all types of conspiracy theories.  I began to inject those ideas into my show as well.  I was especially fascinated with the $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bill 9/11 trick.  Have you seen it?

Just another crazy nut-job radio host.
                I finally began accepting the “ways of the world.”  I realized certain elements regarding human nature:  Some people are leaders; some people are followers.  You can’t save everybody.
                Life has a strange way of unfolding.  I’m in the Barnes & Noble in Birmingham, Alabama, as I type this—seven years later.  It’s been over two years since I left the radio industry.  I moved back to Virginia for two months last December, but I got pulled back to Alabama somehow.  Every time I try to leave, I always end up right back here.  I guess Alabama needs me.  Maybe I need Alabama.  At least for the next month or two or twenty.  I’m on borrowed time anyway.  My house was under contract to be sold by August, and then it was extended to November, now I don’t know what’s going to happen.
                But yeah, back to my story.  I was talking about Woody Harrelson’s crazy, nut-job character in the movie.  He ends up being “on the money” about his ideas, as well.
                So, we have a nut-job radio host played by a guy named Woody (the name my family calls me), and a nut-job author who only sells a few hundred copies of his first book (and spends too much time on his computer).  Both end up being right in regards to their respective world views.  The nut-job author even ends up becoming a hero.

There’s another character that I related to, in regards to his love for books.  He’s the main geologist in the movie.  Instead of packing “essentials” for a trip, his bag was full of books.  You’ll have to see the movie to hear his explanation.
                Just coincidences.  There’s probably nothing regarding this movie that God wants me to pay attention to.  To believe so, would be nut-job thinking.
                It’s funny; earlier this morning, one of my former colleagues left a post on my Facebook wall, telling me to tell her what I thought of the movie 2012, because she was thinking about going to see it.  I told her about a text message I received last night from my ex (she attended the midnight screening), which read, “Wish you would’ve joined us.  You’re going to LOVE this movie.”

I told my former colleague (via Facebook) that I was “very weird,” and just because I was likely to “love” something, doesn’t mean everybody else will.
                She responded (via Facebook post), “I’ve heard you’re weird.  I still want to know what you think.  Usually, it’s the weird ones who are spot on.”
                Preach it sister.
                In addition to the nut-job author and nut-job radio host in the film, there were a couple other coincidences that aligned with my life (and my position as the center of the universe).  At one point, one of the helicopters captivated the entire screen.  It was copter #66.  Those of you who have followed my nut-job work so far will understand the significance of that number.
                There’s also a stuffed animal rabbit that plays a significant role in one scene.  One of my nicknames is “Rabbit,” and the movie The Matrix encourages you to “follow the white rabbit” to the truth.
                Another coincidence that sticks out has to do with “deer.”  I still haven’t figured out the significance of this coincidence.  But in my experience with following coincidences, I’ve learned the most important rule:  Never try to rush a meaning onto a coincidence; let it be “revealed” at the appropriate time.  It’s similar to a recent blog post of mine, entitled:  “Revelation Takes Time.”
                I guess that’s why the Book of Revelation (Book #66) has taken so much time to unfold.  The world has to be “ready for it.”
                Quick shout-out to my friend Jenny:  You were right, regarding what you said yesterday.  Coming to Barnes & Noble to write my book is much too distracting.  Hot babes keep staring at me; I’m highly unfocused.  The cougars are checking me out as well. 
                That’s why this chapter is all over the place.
                Now where was I? 
                I’m quite possibly maybe, perhaps and definitely for certain that I was at the place I left off when I left off a second ago—wherever that was …

Oh yeah.  I’m the center of the universe, and everybody should listen to everything I say from here on out, if they choose to be led to Zion—which is the last human city on earth (according to the movie The Matrix and the prophet Isaiah in verse 35:8 - 10).
                Let us not forget, my enormous ego has caused me to relate to the main character in that movie, as well.

Another hot chic just walked by.
                Oh yeah.  The deer.  And the earthquakes.  I almost forgot about the earthquakes.
                Wow.  I just looked up at the card section in front of me.  There’s a card that says, ‘“Normal’ is just a setting on a washing machine.”  That’s funny.
                So yeah, back to the deer.

If you’re my friend on Facebook or Twitter, you know I’ve been posting about being stalked by deer lately.  My pal Jenny texted me a few weeks ago, telling me to “be careful on my motorcycle,” because her dad’s best friend was just killed when a deer ran out in front of him.  Just a couple days prior to her text, I went to see my old pastor, Mark Correll, preach.  He told us a deer had recently smashed into his SUV, nearly totaling his huge vehicle.  That’s what first made me conscious about the danger of deer.
                After Jenny’s text, I made a mental note to beware of the deer.
                Ever since then, “deer stalking” episodes have been popping up all around me.  Deer have been appearing on television shows, stand-up comedy routines, and radio programs.  A deer recently ran across the roadway in my neighborhood, where I walk Neo every day.  It’s crazy.  And “crazy” is perfect for nut-jobs like me.
                After a Wednesday night service at church recently, I was in the front passenger seat, with my pal Andy in the back; my lady friend was driving.  Not sure why I was inspired to say it, but I just felt a strong intuition that caused me to say:  “Be careful.  There’s gonna be a deer up here.”
                About two minutes later, standing on the side of the road was … a huge deer.  He was about to cross the road.  I have witnesses to my nut-job insanity.  I tried to play it cool, because that’s what prophets do … they play it cool.  On the inside I was thinking, Whoa!  That was crazy as @$*%!
                As I was headed to church (on the same road) this past Wednesday night (47 hours ago), a huge deer darted across the road, causing me to slam on brakes.  I would’ve smashed him otherwise.  It was in the same area of the first deer spotting—a few weeks prior.  I immediately sent a tweet, describing the incident (check my Twitter page @TheNiceLife for documentation—November 11th via text).
                Just this morning, via Facebook, I had to explain to my friend Jenny how I was being “stalked by deer.”  I told her they’ve been popping into my awareness on television and in real-life, for the past few weeks.
                As I entered the movie theater today, I thought I was safe.  I thought, Surely, no deer could stalk me in here.
                I’m enjoying the movie 2012, taking in all the weird coincidences, solidifying in my mind that I was, in fact, the center of the universe, when all of a sudden …
                A deer!
                A freeking deer captivates the entire screen.  The deer is staring right at me, with his menacing deer glare.  Why are the deer stalking me?  I’m starting to become a bit frightened.  I’d like to write a letter, a peace-offering, if you will:

                Dear Deer,

                Why iz you stalking me for?  What iz you tryin’ to tell me?  Iz you gonna kill me?  What iz it that you want from me, you doggone deer?  I’m sorry I ate that deer jerky that one time as a kid.  I didn’t even like it.  I don’t even hardly eat meat anymore.  Even though I was tempted to stop by KFC on the way home from the movie … since the world iz gonna end soon anyway.  I still resisted the temptation!
                I’ve been sticking up for the animal kingdom.  I know the humans are going to die from swine (pig) flu, avian bird (chicken) flu, and mad cow disease, in retribution for all the pigs, chickens, and cows they mercilessly torture and kill.  I know my fellow humans are gluttonous savages!  But please stop stalking me.  Or at least, reveal what you’re trying to reveal, so I can explain it to all of the people out there.
                You deer will always be near and dear to my heart.  Are you mad because the plural form of “deer” is still “deer”?  Would you like me to petition to have an “s” added?  Whatever you durn deers want, just tell me; I’ll do it.
                Write back soon.

                Love always,

                Brandon


                Let’s talk about earthquakes.  I don’t know why, but I was inspired to say the following (as I was convicted with the same sense of certainty I felt regarding my “there will be a deer up here” prediction) to the same girl who experienced the “deer up here” prediction:  I told her, “I keep feeling like a huge earthquake is going to take place; one with devastating consequences.”
                I understand the preceding paragraph completely destroyed all rules regarding proper sentence structure.  It was the “earthquake” of grammar rules.  And the “Dear Deer” letter was even worse.  But we have to be brave and move forward with the chapter.  We can’t let grammar earthquakes stop us; we can do this together.
                So yeah, I don’t understand why I was inspired to say that (about the impending devastating earthquake), but I did.  I’ve never been a “doomsday forecaster,” but I had to speak what was given.  The deer thing came true … I wonder if the earthquake prediction will as well.

In the movie 2012, earthquakes are the main force of devastation.   Maybe that’s why I had the strong “earthquake intuition.”  I guess we’ll see what happens between now and 2012.
                Let’s recap:  nut-job author, nut-job radio host, I’m the center of the universe, hot babes at Barnes & Noble, deer and earthquakes.
                Got all that?  Good.
                And let’s not forget all the wonderful egomaniacal comparisons from my last book:  I’m the guy who relates to the character “Neo” in the movie The Matrix.  Neo is the guy who “lives two lives,” and is responsible for saving the world.  To some people I’m Nick Nice, to other people, I’m Brandon Merhout.  Neo and Thomas Anderson.
                Brandon Merhout and Nick Nice have teamed-up in one nut-job body to lead his followers to Zion (as described in Isaiah 35:8 - 10 of my Route 66 Testimony), which is the last human city on earth.
                That chic is purposely trying to distract me.  Just look at that skirt!  It’s beaming with shiny silver sequins.  It’s screaming, Pay attention to me you stud-muffin!  She’s checking me out via the corners of her eyes.  Keep in mind; I’m a body-language expert.  Have you read the book Never Be Lied to Again, by Dr. David Lieberman?  Good stuff.
                Oh yeah.  I’m supposed to be saving the world here.  That’s what prophets do.  We translate the thoughts of the Divine Mind (God) to all of humanity; or at least the ones who are willing to listen.
                Moses was considered a nut-job.  Noah was considered a nut-job.  Some texts suggest that Jesus’ own family thought he was crazy.  I guess time always reveals the “real” nut-jobs.  It usually takes time to reveal the “real” prophets, as well.
                Just hang in there.
                I prefer that you consider me a false-prophet nut-job, for now.  I’d rather you study everything I’ve written and pay attention to everything I will write in the future.  Then watch what happens in the world … and come to your own conclusion.  Please believe that I’m just another crazy nut-job until your inner conviction tells you otherwise.

I still haven’t determined why I’m the nut-job who was chosen to be the “center of the universe,” but the evidence keeps piling up in my favor.  I wish I could just chalk it up to my enormous ego, but the coincidences that continue to align with my life make it incredibly challenging to continue pretending they don’t exist.
                Synchronicity is a subjective experience; so I can’t expect you to understand what I understand; you just have to believe me (or not).
                Everything I say comes true.  Watch.  That girl in the silver sequin skirt is going to come back over here … sit on my lap … and plant a huge kiss on my face.  Then she’s going to grab me by my collar, and whisper the following in my ear:  “I want you so bad.  Let’s go back to your place right now.”
                To which, I’ll reply, “I’m sorry, ma’am.  But I’m not that kinda guy.  I respect myself too much.”
                Any minute now … she’ll reappear.  
                The lady who asked me to watch her computer just returned from the bathroom.  She watched my computer during my own bathroom break.  Starbucks coffee ain’t no joke.  What is it about coffee that makes a person have to run to the bathroom?  What is it about Starbucks coffee that makes writers use double-negatives like “ain’t no”?
                I can’t believe Jenny said I wouldn’t get any real work done at Barnes & Noble.  She said I’d be too distracted.
                So yeah, Coincidences don’t exist … that’s always been my motto.  It’s just a fancy way of saying, “There’s no such thing as a coincidence.”  Every coincidence that has significant meaning to the observer is there for a reason.  In mathematics, when angles “coincide,” they fit together perfectly.  When a coincidence shows up in your life—pay attention—those two “life angles” have fit together perfectly … to give you an important (subjective) message.
                I just realized how similar the words “angles” and “angels” are.  You’ve never considered that, have you?  Just call me the “Angle Angel,” and I’ve been sent into your life-experience to help you understand things you may have never considered.  I help you look at things from a different angle, so to speak.  All I ask is that you be a “considerate considerer,” and listen to everything I’ve said in this chapter with an open-mind.
                On second thought, maybe you should reconsider being a “considerate considerer.”  I’ll tell you why:  The chic in the silver sequin skirt hasn’t reappeared.  She hasn’t come to sit in my lap.  She still hasn’t kissed me on the lips and asked me to take her back to my place.  I still haven’t said, “I’m sorry ma’am.  But I’m not that kinda guy.”

Maybe I’m not the center of the universe after all.  Maybe you shouldn’t listen to a word I say.
                Only time will tell.
                It’s usually the weird ones who are spot on.
                I don’t even know what to expect.  My inspiration and revelations are always given “in the present moment.”  You have to make your own determination whether or not my revelations will come true.  New information is always being “downloaded.” 
                All I can say for certain is this:  My decision to follow my inner guidance has always led me to the next appropriate place; I’m going to continue to follow the coincidences.  I call them “God Winks,” little “road signs” that point you in the best direction.  Follow the white Rabbit if you choose.
                Please go see the movie 2012.  It will alter your current perception of reality.  If you’ve already seen it, watch it again.  See if you can find the deer or the #66 copter.  Look for your own coincidences; it’ll be fun.
                Make sure you pay attention to the final word spoken in the film.  It’s a one-word sentence that signifies the start of a brand new world.  That word is:  NICE.  As in, Have A Nice Life: My Book For Your Life by Nick Nice.  As in, TheNiceLife.com.  As in, I’m the center of the universe.  Purchase a copy of that book if you choose.
                And send of copy of this book to a loved one.  If the system collapses, books will be your only source of entertainment (and inspiration).  Nothing like using fear to sell a product.  :]
                We need to make sure my books get on the ark, and serve as the spiritual foundation for the new world.
                My Truth says … the year 2012 is approaching, and the increase in human thought projection regarding its significance will create an earth-changing effect.  I believe we’ll either destroy the planet, or create a huge shift upwards, regarding human-consciousness.  Those things are under our control, as human beings.

What does Your Truth say?

[Update: This chapter was originally posted on my website on 11/13/09. After watching the movie 2012 again two nights later, I posted a blog entitled “2012” which linked readers to this chapter. Check the Inspirational Blog for the time stamp of 11/16/09 at 12:16 am. I’m currently working on the final, final, final edit of this book. It’s presently 10:25 pm on 01/13/10. Yesterday, a devastating earthquake rocked Haiti. On January 9th, a 6.5 magnitude earthquake hit Eureka, CA. On January 5th, a 6.9 magnitude earthquake rattled the Solomon Islands. Again, all the content below was written (and posted on my website) on November 13th, 2009.]
