Predictions

.
Every so often a prediction pops up that the end of the world is coming.
The basis for these predictions may lie in channeled information or in biblical interpretation. Or in the fact that the Maya Calendar stops in the year 2012...

The big question, at least from a practical point of view is: why now?
There are a lot of things in the world of today that are considered to be ‘bad’. There is still a lot of fighting going on. Fighting for a cause as well as fighting as a release for frustrations that perhaps have been building for years and years... Although slavery in the traditional sense of the word is not common anymore ~ it seems to have been replaced by a different form of slavery. ‘People trafficing’ has become an industry.
Yes, our world would be a lot better place to be if all those things were not happening.
On the other hand, there is also an enormous drive to change things. To make things better. To rebuild and reform...

And all of this is taking place around the same time the Maya Calendar reaches its end.

It is easy to come to the conclusion that our days are counted and the end is near.
Or is it?

It makes a huge difference whether one predicts: “The end of the world” ~ or “The end of the world as we know it”.

“The end of the world” implies that the earth itself will cease to exist. And while there are most definitely changes going on with our planet ~ its weather patterns, its landmasses even ~ the destruction of the earth doesn’t seem to be imminent to me.

“The end of the earth as we know it” ~ now that is a completely different perspective.
Seeing the tremendous changes that are going on on a small scale in people’s personal lives as well as on a global scale ~ does seem to indicate that we are on the beginning of a time ~ an age even ~ that may well be totally different from what we as humanity has experienced up to now!

The question that remains however, is if this change  linked to a specific date. Would it be possible to have just one moment, one morning when every single person in the world wakes up with the realization that the new time, the new perspectives, the new energy has come? Or is it more likely to be a process? And if it is a process ~ has it started already or are we still waiting for its beginning?

Maybe the Mayans had the most sensible perspective on this yet: If the world, both the earth and humanity, are changing to such extend that a new world will emerge ~ than what would be the use of continuing this Calendar that is based on the world as we know it?
