My frnds...2015 was not at all a good year to me...from jan to dec...but 2014 was awesome. just want to see how will be
the coming year 2016....
How many of you all agree 2015 was better than 2014??????

I think 2015 was pretty obviously the third year of Fimbulvetr, and there's only three more before we're in Ragnarok.

Can you explain a little bit about that, BouldRake, please?
Always wanted to know someones personal opinion/belief of all that Ragnarok thing.

Greetings from Onyx

P.S. 2015. was preety bad so I live in hope that 2016. can be much worse.

I've just had this exact conversation on another forum a few days ago, so I'll just copy and paste what I said there.

Quote:Do I literally believe Freyja will be waiting for me upon my death to take me to Folkvangr?

No.

Do I read the scriptures, and understand them as a metaphor to narrate an animistic world view, and ressonate with them at a level I can only describe as spiritual, without literally believing in a spirit either? Do I believe, in this context, that this is Fimbulvetr, and Ragnarok will be survived only by those who have returned to Yggdrasil?

Absolutely. And so do many others, this is why more and more people are moving off the grid every day. They don't call it returning to Yggdrasil, but that's what they're doing. Empires rise, and empires fall. Fimbulvetr is just a name for the start, Ragnarok for the end.

Is it a coincidence that affinity with the Norse Gods grew, as I returned to a life style similar to that in which they were written? Of course not.

You can call me a Heathen in the same way you can call a nastika Hindu a Hindu. Or you can call me an animist. Or an atheist.

I don't believe Ragnarok is the end of the world or anything like that - and it's not described as such in the Poetic Edda either. Rather, the old guard fight among themselves, resulting in mutually assured destruction, and those who survive these events are those who remove themselves from the picture.

Watch the EU breaking at the seams, the uneasy stand off between the EU and US with Russia, and everybody against ISIS (with differing longer term goals). The rise of the extreme right, and occasionally, extreme left - the populists threatening the status quo....if you change the names of the countries to the names of Norse Gods, it's the very same story.

So, I don't literally think Odin is going to battle Fenrir any time soon - but I do think we're approaching approaching another Autumn of Nations, or Arab Spring.

2015 did not treat me kindly at all. I've been on medical leave all year. So I would happily do without all that pain, extra expenses and the no-income from not working thing. About the only good thing to come from this was all the extra time I was able to spend with my kidlet-even though a lot of it was in a medication induced haze.

2015 was a kick in the teeth for both my husband and I, I'm pretty sure 2016 is going to be worse. Having said that I still strive to be positive everyday!!!

Till up to this year I am unhappy about my past. Waiting good one for next. Thank you.
But I am happy with everyone.

I am alive --though not in really good health. Hearing and sight impaired is not unusual for a person 87 yrs of age. I am blessed to be on this side of the grass as a cancer survivor, parent of 6 lovely (grown) children and able to surf the internet. My life has been full of ups and downs , and I am happy to be here. I shall overcome!!!

Its great to have you here. Be sure to not sit at the computer all day. Get some exercise,
go for a walk, do around the house. You probably know that anyway.

2015 hasn't been a good year for me but this is life. Happy and thankful to be well and alive and happy that my mum is doing well too(She had been ill for almost the whole year). All that aside let's hope 2016 would be not as worse.

2015 in fact was a very great year for me on clixsense...since last month November was a very good month

2015 has been fair, to some point; though the weather could have been reasonable ( El Nino )

I just hope next year will be promising

I think there's a Sticky Thread in the International Hindi Forums; you can look it at:

Reference source -- ICICI Bank VISA Debit can now be used on PayPal | ClixSense Forum

Other than that, you can drop a message there and maybe the Hindi members may be able to assist you on which debit card you may have at hand
