Markov a dit:
Well the way I see it, there probably will not be a ‘global awakening’. However, I don’t think there will be an apocalyptic end of the world scenario either. In fact, I don’t even think 2012 will be the exact date of said change in the world. What I do think, is that this date will mark the peek of earths ‘biological’ process as an organism. From this point instead of growing and developing, the earth will start its transition into its process of dying.
We, as humans, have greatly encouraged this process by using up natural resources without allowing them to replenish. What I think we will start seeing, is resources depleting, animals going extinct and general unrest within ecosystems, eventually leading to a planet that cannot sustain life any longer. Actually, we already are seeing many signs of this all around us.
I see 2012 as being the fall of a former way. Perhaps an awakening to the truth of what going on by many, if not all. If I even brought in McKenna’s idea of Time Wave Zero theory, we could possibly expect there to be some event to open people eyes to what will happen. I’m not saying aliens will visit, but something might occur to open our eyes a little.
what do you base your view on that biological processes will take a turn and go the direction of death? the earth has seen worse things than humans, and it's the game of nature to adapt to situations that aren't overly ideal, it is one of the driving factors in this dance of thriving and dying species.
I think that it is supposed to be like that, that there has to be this big villain (viruses - which our development strongly relied/relies to, meteors destroying everything, and now humans) that mixes up everything so that new things can sprout from the burnt soil.
not saying that we shouldn't do anything for our environment, quite on the contrary. we as a species want to survive, and instead of being fast, strong, etc. we got a big brain. and if more people will start using it (or stop using it all the fucking time), measures can, no, will be taken to guarantee our survival, not to mention the survival of other species and environments.
someone on the forum, I can't remember who it was, described 2012 as a potential turning point, but a very subtle and yet meaningful one. when you throw a stone upwards, at some point it will stand still and change its direction back to the ground. it could be the same thing with 2012, signifying a turning point. this is one of the few versions of 2012 I can agree with.
if we want to see a change we have to do it ourselves instead of waiting for some date in the future with some nice numerology. but I guess this isn't big news.
