yes. and many of the dire prophecies of this time connect w/our world as a whole ... but there are also (connected) worlds within worlds ... even individual worlds within connected worlds where one can keep oneself safe and relatively unscathed from the world swirling around one ...
the goal, imo, is to connect and create a heavenly shared world, but one shld not underestimate the power of one's own personal world. once one of us experiences a revelation, an awakening, or in a different vein, pain and sorrow ... we are all capable of learning from that experience.
the way i am currently seeing these times and what is to come -- at the time of notime and ending/beginning time ... we can go within and back out with a perfectly reborn earth ... how many and where in time and space souls (choose or not) to manifest at the time ... is an individual determination. s/he who is not self-determinant is doomed to become part of some other soul's vision. One needs to exercise caution when buying into what one often refers to as "reality".
