FRIDAY THE twenty first of december, 2012 came and went , the mayan calendar ended, but the world did not end, which many peopew no doubt regret. But no worries. Not everyone predicted the end of the world. A fair number of folks were talking about amazing things happening, alright, but in the other direction..
..in the direction of happiness, not termination. The direction of enhanced human happiness and prosperity, rther than the current continuing grinding poverty. Among all the thinkers and future planners we have running amok are a fair number who insist the future, the near future, is filled with promise, with progress and enlightenment.
The precise nature of these events is a bit murky, but the two most recurring prediction seems to bve that the current state of the global economy will soon be drastically altered, indeed is currently in the process of being so altered.
The other most frequently encountered new world paradigm has the enlightened extraterrestrials of the galactic federation working with certain humans to bring about "disclosure", the blatant entry of the aliens into direct human awareness.
So, that should be exciting. The are other predictions about the near future as well, concerning the end of poverty, disease, inequality, and violence. You end up hoping they all come true, and you wonder if this is what makes them so attractive to their adherants.
The earthquakes, tornados, electromagnetic wipe out and end of world did not occur, and it very strongly appears that it is not going to occur. That in and of itself, is comforting. Now, however, we are stuck with the same old world we had before we all begin to hope so forvantly for another one.
