End of the world December 21, 2012?

If that were only true, I think many would welcome the end of the world on Friday December 21. The real question is how would the Mayan's know this?

On November 8, 1519, the Aztec leader Montezuma met Cortés on the causeway leading into Tenochtitlan and the two leaders exchanged gifts. Montezuma gave Cortés the gift of an Aztec calendar, one disc of crafted gold and another of silver. (Wikipedia)

Clearly, the Aztec Calendar, which was derived from the Mayan Calendar, was partly responsible for Montezuma's defeat because of the superstitions associated with it. At that time the Mayan Empire was merely a shadow of their once great empire. None of this decline was predicted from their calendar.

Christianity had its own prediction of the end of the world in 64 CE (AD) and Nero used it to his advantage after the great fire in Rome to kill Peter and Paul and ruthlessly kill and torture Christians. See my book: 'The Seven Sisters and the Apocalypse'.
Calendar predictions are dangerous because they prey on the masses, who want things to be better and yet they do not accept that they could get worse! The annoying characteristic of change is that it can possibly take lifetimes to manifest. Who wants to wait for the joining of all races into a global truly democratic peace?

Thus when the aliens land and offer us their help on Friday December 21, many will accept them with open arms. Yet, they may really have intentions to destroy us all. Our defeat will be due to the Mayan Calendar or as people are saying an Obama Apocalypse.

The End of the World December 21, 2012

I just read a financial article that said that the housing bust would recover in 2012. Doesn’t really matter then does it? The Mayan calendar says it is the end of the world on December 21, 2012 and everyone else has been getting on the bandwagon, or is it a hearse? It seems like a perfect time for the Apocalypse since it is almost at the same time as the celebration of Jesus’ birth. Santa Claus might as well shut down operations after the Christmas of 2011 as all good Christians will be having a forever party in heaven. London will get to host the last Olympics in the summer of 2012. And so it goes.

One cannot help secretly wishing that this would be the real end, since the computer date scare of 2000 was such a whimper. That was supposed to lead to huge bank losses because the date at 2000 could have been 1900 due to the old computer programs leaving off the first two digits to save space. Ironically, the banks managed it now all by themselves! Where are the riots in the streets?

What seems to be lost here is that 2012 might possibility be the beginning of the Aquarian Age. I know that people think that it came already with the musical Hair and the hippies, but I do not think that anyone would describe the Bush era as the Age of Aquarius. So let’s think positively. Maybe the me-first generation can change in four years to become protectors of the world and all its people. Seems an impossible task, but it is a lot more fun than the end of the world.

The Unicorn Tapestries

A museum in Paris, once called the Cluny now the Musée National du Moyen-Age, has a set of six 15th century tapestries called 'The Lady and the Unicorn' that illustrate the giving up of sensual desire: taste, sight, touch, smell, hearing, and the last: À Mon Seul Désir (meaning perhaps that love desires only beauty of soul). They are as spectacular as 'The Unicorn Tapestries' in the Cloisters in New York. The unicorn is said to represent Christ, but perhaps she is just a unicorn, a mythical creature of the spirit world. In the first set the unicorn is there to inspire the lady to find her higher self. In the second set, the unicorn is captured and killed. These are powerful images for the present time as we approach the Aquarian age in 2012. Whether it is to be a peaceful revolution or Armageddon depends on whether people are willing to give up hatred and greed that have been so strong in recent times. I was a part of the hippie revolution. The drugs made some people more aware of themselves and the world around them, but for some it was just getting high. Fortunately, many did understand the correct path of peace, love, and hope, but in the end it failed because greed and hatred turned us into cynics. There is a principle of the universe that the more that goodness pushes us forward, the more that badness pushes back. Look at the losses: Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, John Lennon and so many others. This time peace, love, and hope must triumph over hatred and greed because otherwise we will destroy this planet. I opened this blog to bring a positive voice that might rise above the me-first generation of sex and money and bring people hope that, yes, there is goodness in people and, yes, we can create a new world! Barack Obama did not make this up; it is there for all to hear if they listen.
