Nostradamus: 2012 - Be Afraid

[flyingcrocodile46]

I found this documentary exceedingly enthralling. If you find the history of civilizations before recorded history interesting, I think you will enjoy it, and interpreting the information in various ways results in unique conclusions relative to how most people view the long long past.
The film is 2 hrs long, so it is best to watch when you have time to "drop" into it and let your mind simmer.
There is no end to the Mayan calendar. That is because it is a circle. I Ching confirms it

It has to be far and away the best single theory yet put forward that attempts to answer a hugely wide range of mysteries that I have see. Mind boggling stuff.

I don't know whether to be apprehensive or optimistic

Sure makes you wonder

Will watch later but I do remember reading an Arthur C Clark book on the subject and there was something about an old Indian manuscript that was dated about 50K years ago that talked about an advanced culture that blew themselves up (paraphrasing here).
It was supposed to be written by someone that survived.

With the transit of venus (or whatever it was) and the eclipse before that - the signs are there - we all going to DIE!

Thank fuck for that! I'm hoping Hekla pops first though

[unstuck]

we all going to DIE!

Yep, guaranteed.

It was good up until that guy started talking about the psychedelics he had used while theorizing about the subject.

I guess we will just have to wait another 6 months to see who's right.
Personally I think there was some people here and they did make all this but to say that the world changes on a cycle is pushing the boat out a little to far.
But i will be stocking up on food and ammo, just to be on the safe side.

Snap! Though I might also glance wistfully at them plants while assembling my stockpile

hope they flower before the 21st

That was a pretty decent watch. I've seen a doco on the ancient structures and their relationships to the stars before, but it was an interesting theory in regards to atlantis and sudden climate change.

I thought the I Ching confirmed that we were spiraling into the "singularity" point, which McKennas wave analysis bore out, and not a circle? as McKennas analysis ended on an oddly familiar date and made no reference to confirming that the wave would start again?

Perhaps it spirals into a new dimension in which everything is a million times smaller and the spiral is really big again. Who knows!

That was the hardest thing to take seriously as it doesn't talk about what happens after, when all the others talk about an event then the cycle starts again.

also if Mckennas theory is to be correct we will be having bigger and bigger events all this year but it seems to have gone a bit quiet and how many things have been missed that don't fit the sequence.
It's a bit like using statistics, they can be changed to fit the argument.

Fair point... there was mention of multiple dimensions. Anyway, how did you get on with yer plants?

circle of life It's the wheel of fortune It's the leap of faith It's the band of hope Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the circle.

It depends on whether you class bigger and bigger events as natural events increasing in frequency and strength, or whether it's human events, which do seem to be getting bigger and bigger.
Is that not probabilities as he was "predicting" the future?

I don't disagree, but it is nevertheless very intriguing and as Mashman said, a lot of the remaining events may be stages of our enlightenment as we become aware of true spiritualism (as opposed to the falsehood of religion), biological mastery, scientific (incl alchemy/time/etc) and who knows what else. Besides, there is still plenty of time for the end of the world by way of storms, earthquakes tsunamis, comets etc. Don't panic just yet (either way)

A chum mentioned that it will probably take a natural disaster, something larger than Chch, to bring about the enlightenment of man. I'm inclined to agree with him as preparing for such an event, real preparation, not just a kit with water and food, is either seen as a waste of money or the money isn't there to allow us to become a proactive society instead of a reactive society. Priceless given that the probability of natural disasters (locally or globally) is 100% and the cost of prevention would be cheaper than the cost of reaction. Such a shame.

Conflicts with zero point but a very covincing theory on how the earth growing has split what was one just a solid mostly flat land mass covered with marshes and really big puddles (or very shallow seas).

I will put a wager on there still being shit talked about on KB in January 2013...and I will be rocking the holidays on some beach somewhere. If the worst comes to the worst, I have the survival skills to keep myself and my family alive...however, I suspect that unless I start spending extended amounts of time flying over say...Alaska...that the chances of needing to use them out of necessity will be slim. It all seems a little Chicken Little to me.
