As a spiritual-futurist, I interpret current events in light of possible macro-universal forces at play leading up to 2012, but not limited to it.
Who wants to believe or embrace bad news, especially very bad news- catastrophic news? Almost every culture or ancient civilization has preserved stories, legends, or myths about terrible events that have decimated their people and the planet as a whole. Since we moderns have not experienced anything like that (WWII notwithstanding), are these stories believable?
The stories are just too far beyond our imagination to take seriously.
Who can believe fires from the skies, the earth covered in clouds, debris, and ice? Who can fathom endless days of darkness with temperatures plunging beyond man's ability to cope or whole mountains being swallowed up by the oceans? Can such things really happen?
How is it that reputable scientists, geologists, and physicists can uphold such possibilities?
Are there messages in the stars? Do the constellations have something to say to us beyond the astrological gibberish that seems too new age for intellectual consumption? Do the twelve constellations situated along the ecliptic that our solar system follows give out frequent and consistent messages? Everything is ENERGY. Who can deny that? So can we discount the energies of the planets and the universe?
Highly educated and esteemed PhD in physics and systems science Paul LaViolette has written, "Esoteric tradition teaches that astrology conveys a highly advanced science formulated in very ancient times. Astrologers have long presumed that this science concerns primarily how the positions of the planets in the signs influence human and life events."
Has science come to this? Is 2012 wrapped up in astrological signs? Did ancient civilizations follow these views as well? And if so, can we deny such? Are we too smart for our own good? Or should we heed the words of Franciscan Father, Richard Rohr when he wrote, "Ignorance does not result from what we don’t know! According to the great spiritual teachers, ignorance results from what we think we do know."
What do we "think" we know?
