“Decoding the possible end of the world in 2012.”
Today I went out for lunch with a few friends and this topic came up, so here I was just finished watching this documentary. The numbers 2012 to me symbolises a completely different meaning. These numbers were a part of my msn display name for the longest time, and to me they referred to the twentieth of december of which I sucked up the courage to finally do something for my future. My first step. Though here I am now realising the alternative meaning.
Ok, so – First of all, in regards to all the prophesies, oracles and predictions. Including the accuracy of the Myan calendar and everything, they are all reads made by humans. Which brings me onto various things; 1. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. This book mentions about the existence of a universal language of which we can read into. This can be manifested in many ways. I strongly believe in the human mind and its capabilities. It may be “God”, it may be a universal cosmic power, a rule of living things or simply our mind’s powers. The truth is far and there is no point in arguing a suitable “label” for this concept, but to me I think that through many personal experiences it has led me into believing for it rather than against it and that there are no such things in this world as coincidences. Like geometry, to me the world is like a well managed machine that runs itself, just like many other things in the world – like the human body; the mind and the heart. The Earth is living too.
Thus, brings me to point number 2. At the rate that humanity is driving the world, be it an apocalypse or not the World will soon be driven to its edge. This week I had just finished writing an assignment on the world’s population boom, population predictions and global resources for my geography course. It is a known fact that we are consuming our resources at a rate that is incapable of sustaining. Thus, like money in a bank we will soon be in debt and unlike a bank that gives us overdraft or loans we don’t have any external sources of help. Unless aliens want to adopt and be our loan sharks, of which are not without a cost I believe. On Earth we live as one. The Earth is our home and our only home. (Unless we build crazy space homes and evacuate everyone into space, though if we are going to be aligned with the black hole at the centre of our milkyway, our little space homes wont stand a chance against the mighty forces of the black hole! lol)
ok so these discussions require like 100 page essays, i could write a book lol! so moving on quickly and hopefully efficiently is my point number 3. ok i may be skeptical at times and evaluate a source’s validity and reliability, i think that in this case its best to believe than not to. why? well at least we can prepare ourselves the best we can and live in a way that we hope and fight for a future than not to try at all. as well as a life without regrets. not only living each day the best we can but actually planning ahead and prepare for this possibility. better to be safe than sorry. although this leads me onto saying, “um..exactly how am i going to do that?” like honestly what can i do within my capabilities to protect myself against, one – a meteorite crashing onto earth like armageddon, two – a world war, three – some sort of “the day after tomorrow” scenario, four – lack of global resources, five – the random unmentionable unpredictable, the not understood, and lastly six – the most simplest of them all which is in essence ‘humanity’. gosh, do i think humanity is doomed, in this generation and even in my generation people are severly messed up. what is the world coming to? honestly, people are so wrapped up in the petty things. i can’t stand this ignorance for the life of me. Also, don’t get me wrong, I’ve thought this through thoroughly, I’ve thought about it in so many perspectives that people are ignorant. I’m not being a hypocrite either for how i know some people are, in addition to swagging their egotistical tails. Anyways, enough negativity the point of this post is to illustarte my own views on this whole 2012 issue.
Ok, so point number 3. I think the Myans are really impressive. I thought the Chinese Lunar Calendar and its astrology was really unbelievable (but now has made me believe) in its accuracy. Its really hard to ever tell anyone fully about one’s life, but let me just say (and i hope people believe me for saying this) that Chinese Astrology (Zi Wei) is really useful in mapping out a person’s life. If even on this smaller scale it is possible and on a daily scale it is proven to be accurate, how can I have doubt in the Myans? If what I am being told is true about Myans, and that this is not just some conspiracy people have led me into believing and going as far as to persuading the whole world with books and reports of findings that may not exist because I can’t physically see it, then yes I don’t see how reading into the world’s languages of our surroundings (lunar and solar) and producing a reading on a larger scale (which is the Earth’s life) could not just be as accurate as what I have experienced on a personal level with Chinese astrology. Its all a science, no? Science is where empirical evidence is found to support.
Ok so lastly point number 4. is this – whilst watching this documentary i got really freaked out, and its not because of just the fact that this show is telling me that life is going to end and that there is nothing i can do about it. it is that (ill admit it here) since i can remember i have always feared death, and not in the sense of dying per say, but in life after death. maybe its not even that. because i really do believe and have hope in my beliefs..but it is that life would have been meaningless without. if like plants we just wilter and fade into the earth’s soil and history then what is’ this’. and also why is it that we humans have priority of having an afterlife? how about animals? or all other living things on earth? are we just being self-centred and like “ethnocentrism” maybe we as humans are just “humanocentric”? (whatever word that is that i just made up). ok, there will never be a day without question and curiosity, nor will it be soon that the answers will be known to us; but it is just this, i hope that i can find my “fruit” of life before life is over. everyday i find myself living as if i’m waiting for something.
Ok, i just realised my point number 4. veered off course. i was speaking about my childhood phobia. the other thing is that whilst watching this i had flashbacks of dreams that i had as a child, dreams that i haven’t thought about for quite a while. dreams of war, dreams of my dad and dreams of my mum, dreams of their protection, dreams of my cowardness, dreams of having to run away from these people that are chasing me. all these dreams that simulate war is terrifying. i remember the feeling and i can only imagine that if we were to have a real world war (which i think that we will), that those feelings will be and must be hundred folds more intense. i don’t know if i can have the will to see it through. even just thinking about it im scared down to my bones and those tiny microscopic air holes in the bones just get filled with fear. thats what im talking about lol. the unconventional nerd that i am.
should i really plan ahead and start assembing food supply and a generater and all those what nots just like in the movie “blast from the past” with brendan fraser? at least that would save me from food shortage and possibly if i had myself built some sort of anti-nuclear underground cell (but i’d prefer underwater) then maybe i’d be safe from war aswell. safe from many natural disasters except for an earthquake, the only thing an underground cell won’t stand a chance against. oh and maybe volcanic activity, lol.
oh and i nearly forgot, even if nothing is going to happen think about this. with this news going around not everyone will be able to process this rationally and the many will take action. people may start taking money out of banks to protect themselves with cash and this will undoubtly cause an economic crash. the news will be raving about 21 12 12 before it happens. this will just impact the weaklings psychologically. that is not a good thing. economic collapse really has severe consequences that gives me a headache to think about or even bother listing, i’m sure we all know and can learn from past economic collapses how the effects would ripple across the world.
ok i’m done writing for now my head hurts. this is it. thats it. the end.
