I have already started a round of bets with some people. That makes me confidently say that I know what's going to happen in december 21st: I will be a couple hundred bucks richer.
I just don't understand what the person is thinking who makes a monetary bet that the world would end on a certain date. I'm not even arguing that this is stupid because of all the evidence referring to time after 12/21/12.
If the person who bet that the world was going to end, ends up being right, what are the odds that they are going to collect on the bet?
Either way... I'll definitely be taking off of work, drinking some aya, and vapin' some tasty changa to create some good memories, just in case the world does continue on
Peace and Happy Journeys
Remember Harold Camping? The doomsday "prophet" who predicted Judgement Day? He put up billboards and went on a bus tour. People gave up everything they had. Low and behold, Judgement Day came and went, and evidently the Rapture only took about three people, and I guess the rest of us, including poor old Harold Camping, are wallowing in the 7 years of tribulation. I think that's how it works . . .
And, though I'm sure it has been said many times in this thread--I'm way too lazy to reread it all--the Mayan Calender does not predict the end of the world. It marks the end of one timeline, and the BEGINNING of ANOTHER, the 13th. The number 12 and 13 are deeply encoded within the human consciousness. This was done on purpose.
It seems like there are two distinct views pushed by the corrupt and controlled media: one side says D. 21 spells doom and gloom, the other side claims D. 21 heralds instant enlightenment for everyone. I think the same force is behind both viewpoints. On the doom and gloom side, the media is doing what is does best: actively promoting a state of managed chaos, spreading fear, mental fatigue, and mass confusion. On the Enlightenment side, they tell you to relax, the morning of D. 22 will be paradise on Earth. This view promotes not only an idealized view, but one that you don't have to do anything for other than sit around and wait. It promotes complacency, false hope, and a lack of willingness to actively seek change on a personal level.
In my own view, I lean towards the parallel world idea: that there will be a dimensional merge of sorts, a splitting of Earths. There will, in this view, be a world that's mostly positive, filled with Nexus type folks, and a world that's mostly negative, the Infowars type folks. I just find it troubling that the Infowars folks spend so many fevered hours obsessing over FEMA camps and food shortages and riots and politics and the NWO and all that fun, happy, life-sustaining stuff. I think they are, and have been, energizing their FEMA Camp world into existence, as I like to hope we at the Nexus are focusing on more pragmatic solutions for the times we are in, with a hopeful eye to the future, but ready to shuffle off our collective hangovers on December 22 and do what ever is is we all do.
Then, I also think there will be those caught in the middle, who, having no real stake in the Game, having no knowledge either way, will just get swept up in the tides of change, powerless, at the mercy of the current.
I want to be clear that in the above idea, I said I
LEAN TOWARDS, but I leave it open to all possibilities, for only a fool is certain he will see tomorrow, let alone piece together a mass of conflicting predictions and say you KNOW what will happen on December 21, 2012. Until then, I continue to focus on a positive world, and endeavor to laugh everyday, and bring laughter to others, everyday, because I know a secret that I will let you all in on:
Laughter is the Key to Everything!
