The age of weirdness

So there's a huge cafuffle about December 21, 2012. Depending on which source* you look up, a whole lot of something or a whole lot of nothing is going to happen.

Case work

1. Some believe in the literal - that an apocalypse will actually happen.

If an apocalypse were to actually happen, buying all the water and canned beans I can carry home in a shopping cart won't save me. To be honest, I would prefer immediate death over imminent death by radioactive waste. Plus, how many people can say they will die by the sun exploding? ...Oh... probably 6.7 billion. Ok, next case...

2. Some believe nothing will happen.

Need I remind you of the ever uneventful Y2K even 12 years ago? *Yawn*

3. Something will happen, but only those who are aware of it will see the difference

This one, I vote for.

The alignment of the planets and the enhanced vibrational energies are obviously unseeable. Plus, the ending of one cyclical calendar and beginning of another leave a lot open for interpretation. Oftentimes, people rush to conclusions which stem out of fear. People plunge into the negative whenever an end is to be reached.

For instance, the Death card in the Rider-Waite deck is not literal in the meaning that death will come. It does, however enforce that there is a firm ending.

It is my personal belief that this date marks a new age of awareness to cycle in. This is a sentiment shared with many spiritual folks, some of who have already gathered themselves in Central America for the celebrations.

There are loads of pulp about the Three Days of Darkness (Dec 19-21). Another thing people are taking literally.

People, there was no warning when the Christmas Tsunami wiped out Indonesia in 2004 and another in Japan in March of 2011. But apparently Europe and the North America is special enough to get a warning via the definition of an apocalypse. So let's all go to Japan. They already had their nuclear mess. Or we can hit up Chernobyl. Apparently it's not as radioactive as it used to be and there are lots of empty spaces to hide, so we should be safe enough.

Three Days of Darkness refers to the literal dimming of a cycle and the initiation of another. There is actually going to be a solar eclipse. That is so cool!

So don't stop working out because you think the world is going to end. Think of it as a new start to being a better You. :)


* = this and this and of course, this one.
