THE END OF THE WORLD

For some years, we've been hearing that 2012 will be especially critical because, apparently, approaching is the end of the world. Some have studied the system of astronomy and the calendar of the ancient Maya and have deduced what wise men of the time left predictions. Others, have studied the cycles of the sun and have deduced that in 2012, we will experience an activity so intense that the magnetic emissions will ravage most of the electronic infrastructure of the planet. Others, speculate asteroid impacts, or even the shock of the Earth with another planet.

We can not exactly speak of an "end of the world". Maybe, we all suffer from psychosis, not because of an end of the world but an end of western civilization. What we feel is just "our world", the way we live, our concepts, the manner in which we have been developing the story over the last centuries: materialism, commercialism, competition, bourgeois life, the quality of life, capitalism, etc..

But why fear? The changes are not always negative. To have a disaster, before the end of a cycle or a civilization, the unconscious fear we feel is to have to think again or to do it again. We feel an irrational fear of what is to come because it is unknown. We dream of a better future, but we do not know how to do it. Even more, we haven´t done anything. We don´t know where we come from and where we go. Ignorance is a powerful ally of superstition.

But it is also true, that many of us, realize that everything does not work. Be prepared for the times ahead. If until now human beings have continued through all the difficulties, should continue also at the beginning of the third millennium, despite the difficulties and disasters. Preparation is the issue and solution. And if the catastrophe occurs, we must be prepared to remain dignified human beings.

And 2012 will be a year of change, a year of opportunity to really know yourself, because of difficulties, is where the true face of each and every one of us, become true. Make that change.......
