In 1984, as in 2000, many predicted the end of the world. Of course, those were only guesses and human beliefs, based on nothing. In spiritual worlds there isn’t a unique root for 1984, or for 2000, because those dates were invented by humans. But people want change, and some of them see a pretty good business opportunity here as well.
Humans invented both the calendar and the dates. The millennium is just a date, agreed upon by mankind. It went by just like any other date. People want change because they are unhappy, but they want those changes out of their will to delight themselves.
Humanity will gradually open its eyes to realize that the solution to its problems, and the way to perfection, wealth, and health, confidence and eternity, is not in the will to enjoy, but outside it.
