Welcome to the End of the World

Much the same?
Surprised?
Ready for the day? Ready for death every day?
Isn't there a yogacara teaching that the world is destroyed and created in each moment of Maras Mayan Mayhem?

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Well at least this time I had no life savings left to throw on the hookers & blow.
Baby steps, baby steps.
Much Love
From the same sublime pen..,
" Golden lads and girls
all must,
like chimney sweepers,
come to dust. "
A prediction of my own..the true Mayan believers will say that
They got the date wrong or..
They got the year wrong or..
It was prevented by them or..
it happened but at a subtle level only perceptible to highly advanded " mystics " like them.
There is a dark side to all this.
In Argentina for example the authorities have had to close various public venues ( including mountain tops ) because of apparently serious attempts to organise mass suicides.
and yes right now in New Zealand its the 22nd :P
and also btw.. the Mayans never made a prediction that the end of the world comes today..

what we DO know.. if you study Astronomy at all.. is that the universe has thousands of ways that could destroy us and the planet at any time. Which is a good reason to be mindful and practice diligently until your death :P
The world begins now.
Apocalypse would be a good thing!
The Mayans made their calendar long before Ceasar made his inferior Gregorian one. The two calendars were not compared until the Mayans were invaded and whoever aligned them DID INDEED take leap years into account.
Leap years were designed to fix the problem in the Gregorian calendar but the Mayans were much more accurate and had no need of that kind of corrective measure.
If they were predicting the end of the world then this is the 14th end to the world...
Come on folks!
The Mayan calendar ends today just like ours ends December 31st.
They tracked time in Baktuns which is a period of 144, 000 days instead of ours that counts by years which is a period of 365 days.
This is the mark of the beginning of the 14th Baktun.
It has nothing to do with the end of the world and it never did.
It is the mark of a new age.
May we get over our growing pains and work together for the common good.
HAPPY NEW BAKTUN!
Then the people who don't die of alien diseases are enslaved and forced to work in gold mines and forced to worship alien gods.
Now THAT is an end of the world!
Or did you think the Mayans were all killed?
Sorry but I find this whole business about Mayans predicting the end of the world to be annoying.
Especially the leap year argument.
It's all due to ignorance.
But don't take my word for it. Ask the Mayan elders what they think.
The Mayans Calendars were more in tune with the actual cycles of the Universe and did not need to be "adjusted" every four years.
I admire those cosplay folks. They took "let's play make-believe" to a whole new level.
but of course we know , if you watch history channel, it's because the Mayans ARE aliens, or were visited by aliens... because some backwater Indian tribe could never be badass mathematicians :P
Sometimes I think Maitreya could be a state of collective being rather than just a being.
May we continue to break down the borders and work together to help ease our suffering and grow in knowledge.
I see myself in all of us. All of you.
It isn't all just energy, it's information.
We are explorers by nature so let us continue to nourish as many perspectives of the universe that we can.
Who knows?
A global awakening could be right around the corner... An avalanche waiting for the right person to yell "Hey!"
It could be you or it could be your information being shared to the right person at the right time.
