MMXII - Enter the Dragon
serpent in the sky
ride the wind black water wings
third eye of the storm
Is a good part of the human race entranced by a prolonged Fin de Siècle experience or are we actually headed for a certain Eschaton that has been reiterated and recombined in countless prophecies? Since the year 2000 passed without some sort of apocalyptic tribulation, mankind's yearning for change has only grown stronger, it seems. In 2012, whilst Nostradamus is having tea with the Mayas, a common sense of fear continues to be exploited, to forward agendas or simply gain riches. Focal point of conversation: how an aspect of Mesoamerican astronomy may outweigh the Y2K bug on a scale of global transformation.
Whether the Millennium Bug itself was a mere money-making hoax or indeed a lurking disaster, it clearly did not have enough momentum to move us beyond the brink of a global catastrophe and unite all of us in fear. Ironically, if Y2K would have unfolded as prophesized, its effects might have guarded humanity from being exposed to the barrage of End-of-Time-scenarios and other theories about the passing of the current Gregorian year, which have been flooding the airwaves since mankind crossed that infamous, self-made-up millennial border, roughly twelve years ago. The use and abuse of the internet in the aftermath of the Dotcomboom would never have exploded like it did and many a prophet would have reverted to obsolete old world media of the Television Age.
But here and now, the overadvertased year 2012 has finally arrived. Come December 21, will it be Armageddon on Earth or Galactic Renaissance, a Doomsday scenario come true or simply New Year's Day on an interstellar scale followed by business as usual the very next day, and if so, will we iterate another future of fear, waiting for change to come, or perhaps create one of hope and become the transformation itself? Let's ride the Dragon and find out, shall we?
nice one!
