Have we already had a 2012 thread?
 

Should we?

People have been saying the world will end for centuries, guys, and we're still here. Sorry, you still have to pay taxes and go to the bathroom at least a few times a day.

in which regard? What is so special? Besides, I'm an old calendarist, Gregorian 2012 is really just 2005 to me ;)


get more Jungian about it, each of our individual worlds have to all inevitably come to an end in our own unique time, in order for us to crucify the narcissistic ego and become one with the flow of the vibrating strings of the Multiverse. This is the Christian Apocalypse, and it is not some miraculous crescendo to the world, rather that still, silent, bewildering yet deeply clarifying moment each individual has internally when their petty fantasies about themselves and the world finally dissolve leaving a clear-sighted glimpse of the real world, of the continuity and oneness of everything, and the ability to honestly say, "fuck it" and mean it without being bitter or anxious. Joseph Campbell called this the Hero's Journey, Freud's intentions with psychoanalysis, and Saint John the Divine's cataclysmic Apocalypse.

To destroy the ego as painful experience, it seems like the end of the world, but it is only the end of a world, and the beginning of finally seeing and living in harmony with the world.

Argh, 2012.

I wonder what really makes people believe some shit will happen then. Just because some indians thought so.

Religion is dead my friends.
I will masturbate and eat hamburgers on the 21st december 2012 and laugh to all scared Americans.

Its amazing how quickly people forget their Y2K/Millennium hysteria

Indians didn't say so, some mistaken white people who disregarded indian assistance attempted to say so, and many indians blatantly disagree with these white folks translations by the way, but much as in all indigenous American history, the white folks versions tend to win the day in the history books account of things. And religion is not dead, you'd have to be hopelessly pessimistic (or optimistic whatever your perspective) or utter disassociated with the real world to assume such things. You can disagree with it, but religiosity is on the rise if anything, and rightfully so. What satisfying alternatives does skepticism offer? Is nihilism really that satisfying?

Gonna party it up 12/21/12
