In case you haven’t heard, we are just over a year away from the day the Mayans predicted would be the end of time. December 21st, 2012 will be the day when the sun will align to a unique spot in the sky, forming a perfect alignment with the Milky Way and Galactic equinox through the center of the galaxy.
Translation: Alignment equals doom.
You see, the Mayans were the first known astronomers. They not only studied the stars but developed a philosophy on the cosmos — the true mother of all things. The Mayans believed the cosmos was among us and within us.
On December 21st, 2012 as the sun mounts to the perfect alignment in the sky, a gateway will be formed between the cosmos, ultimately leading to the end of time as we know it.
Although the thought of being debt free for the first time in a while has a certain allure to it, don’t start going all Steve Buscemi from the movie Armageddon on us.
This end of world prediction is nothing more than an interpretation of an ancient calendar.
There are those who have hypothesized that a nuclear weapon will be dropped on this day, some believe the world will implode, while others still believe that it will be a day of reason and understanding.
The funny thing however is that the sentiments of the Mayans have been echoed by many other civilizations.
The Hopi Indians of Arizona, the Rosicrucian’s, who are originally from Germany, Nostradamus, heck even the old crazy lady from down the street all seem to express these same concerns and preach the end of the world.
Further still, scientifically, if you ask astronomers some will agree that the earth will be aligned perfectly for a potential disaster with an increased risk of solar flares.Many more feel the true concern is that of being hit by an asteroid.
Regardless of the thoughts and arguments behind it, there are so many different sides to this story with strong commonalities.
Is this something we should worry about or is this just another example of humanity's misinterpretation of the past?
If you ask me, I think that the poor guy who was writing the calendar likely just got really fed up of writing. I mean come on, can you imagine writing down and predicting events for some 2,000 years after you have died? I get bored while writing a month worth of cheques for daycare.
On Second Thought
When you really put your mind to it however, these civilizations appear to predict the end of the world with eerily similar descriptions.
The earth will essentially fight back with a naturally occurring series of events: erupting volcanoes, massive solar storms, mass flooding, a blackened sea. All of this as a result of geomagnetic pole reversal.
Or to wrap things up, Hell Freezing over in a Poop Storm.
Now, take it a step further and think of recent events. Tsunamis in Japan, the Haitian Disaster, The Iceland Volcanoes, The Gulf Oil spills, the destroyed crops in the Southern U.S, and, perhaps worst of all, both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers are near the top of the NHL standings.
To quote what I consider a very famous Seinfeld sentence: “the veels are in motion Jerry”.
The apocalypse is among us, the end of the world is near.
You know, that is until The Buds and Oil are once again grounded and fall back into place where they rightfully belong, among the cellar dwellers.
