The Mayan calendar does end on December 21, 2012; however, that doesn’t mean it will be the end of the world or that we’re facing an apocalypse. The calendar just ends there. So, could we begin again in some new phase starting December 22nd? But people say that the world is going to hell in a hand basket. And that’s just the reason I feel we will not!
Few people have heard Carl Jung’s concept- enantiodromia, let alone being able to pronounce it.
Enantiodromia is a concept which basically means that the superabundance of any one force will ultimately force it’s opposite. Thus, when people see the world heading towards a major catastrophe because of a dozen overwhelming reasons, I say that’s the right time for something GOOD to happen. A time for God to happen!
Of course it’s the God IN US that will happen. I don’t believe in the Santa Claus any more, not do I believe there is a God “out there” somewhere who is going to come and rescue us. That God is transcendent, yes. But that He is immanent, YES!
Enantiodromia literally means (for my “literalist” fans) mens running counter to!
After Republicans have ruled and ruined the government and society long enough, people switch to the Democratic party (though they mess it up just as well). After a feast comes a famine: though Wall Street tries to prevent such from happening. After twenty six record setting hurricanes, we have the fewest. After the hottest and driest of summers, we have one of the most mild and wet summers.
It’s nature’s SECRET way of maintaining balance.
So, for me, the run up to 2012 have more than enough dastardly dilemmas facing us- more than enough. Global warming is only the poster child for such. But, it is in the face of such massive probabilities, that I feel we’ll see the reverse. The advent of homo illuminous maybe? A fabulous leap in consciousness. And a world order that’s just the opposite of global catastrophe.
After all that IS our destiny!
