2012: The End of the World?

Lately we are obsessed by the controversial topic related
to the year 2012. When I was a little child in the early
80's, I remember that my great-grandfather told me about
some prophecies of a Roman Prophet Sibyl that the world
would finish by the year 2000 and that the Chinese power
would raise in the world. Well fortunately not big deal
happened but what has happened that China is becoming a new
super-power.

Some people say that the year 2012 would be the end of our
world, some say it's only the end of this era, the others
talk about a human transformation into more spiritual human
beings. We hear and have many hypothesis and many people
underestimate this topic, while the others think that
something is going on. Two weeks ago I saw an interesting
documentary from National Geographic about Nostradamus
Prophecies for 2012; my opinion about him is - either we
like it or not: he really hit the target and was quite
accurate in so many times - it's amazing how someone
almost 5 centuries ago knew about WWI, WWII, Hitler,
Communism, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and so on. So instead of
being so skeptical, we'd better learn something from this
and get ready for what's coming; the only problems was that
his prophecies were coded into metaphors and were not
always well interpreted or understood. From my point of
view Nostradamus didn't write his prophecies to scare us,
but to make us conscious about are actions and how to avoid
the unnecessary outcomes.

When the swine flu outbreak lately appeared in Mexico, a
lot of people were quite scared, only a few were walking on
the street. I remember that the first days - I didn't want
to go to the supermarket - the guys from the supermarket
were bringing the food to my apartment. People started to
behave quite differently; they stopped complaining about
the crisis, and even started to be more polite and less
aggressive in the traffic. When I was pulling my car out of
garage, before "the plague" everybody was honking on us,
then the people suddenly stopped. Personally this city
looked like a ghost town, it was less polluted and so
enjoyable as never before. So I think it wasn't that bad as
it was referred in media; in our case - we rested and had a
break from our stressful jobs. What I personally consider:
is that humanity has become more selfish, aggressive with
each other and especially with our Mother Earth, who
deserves some more respect from us. Don't you think so?
Maybe to receive a good lesson on time as it could be in
2012, it is not that bad as it could be if we don't get it.
People around the world have lost faith in general, in
their Churches, religions and especially their governments
and politicians. Politicians and the bankers are not well
rated in general. The poles are melting; there are more
hurricanes, earthquakes and this entire entire staff.
People start to be dissapointed and avoid their
participation in elections, and some of them don't want to
have children anymore - because there are serious doubts
about our present and future as well.

The movies about Zombies, 2012 and the future in general
are extremely popular - it looks like if we unconsciously
wanted some determined solution. But which one? The future
of zombies, terminators, religious dictators or something
else?

Unfortunately we are focused on tragedies, plagues, bad
economic news - but all of us could really start to create
and imagine something more relaxing and simply better than
today. So if Nostradamus or the Mayans were right, we have
always the option to choose; I would rather have something
better and something very good for me, my family and the
overall human race - this is what we should be thinking
instead of our regular thoughts. We are skeptical and
relinquish to do so, but let's use our minds to create
something better; it's never late to do so. If you don't
like your current conditions, let's imagine something
better, the affluence, wealth and better environmental
conditions.

Imagination is extremely powerful human sense that hasn't
been well researched yet. I started to use it few years ago
when I was alone, I imagined my wife with some details - I
wanted to have a beautiful, charming, entertaining and big
businesswoman - and I really got it. Once when both of us
were meditating listening to the sounds of the ocean waves
from our DVD player, we managed to see a new truck on our
vacations to the beech. We saw the color of the van, and
the shape of the lights. After the breakfast we went out of
our apartment, and I asked her pointing at one parked car
if she liked that color. She agreed, but then we saw
another color between brown and dark green and both of us
preferred that one. So to conclude, we bought the Ford
Explorer and that wasn't the model that we planned before
- but it was the one that we saw in that previous
meditation which took place 2 months before the purchase.
So we have so many tools that we don't use, so let's use in
our favor and not against us.

So coming back to the year 2012, imagine the good part and
the good changes it will bring instead of the classical
apocalyptical features - we can change our future for good
if we want to. During the swine flu, I decided if it were
my last years in my life - I will really enjoy them and do
what I always like. So let's keep rock & roll.
