A 2012 Retrospective

The Mayan Calendar Ended in 2012 and We Completely Missed The Point

This has been an ongoing snide joke of mine for quite a while now.

Looking at the world today and how events have been transpired since 2013, I’m not entirely convinced that the Mayan calendar theory was wrong.

The interpretation that the world was going to end at that time was completely off-base, a literal and alarmist interpretation of the ending of an era, or epoch of time.

The world didn’t end, per se, but did it continue in the same way as it was going before?

The conclusion I drew at that time in the runup to December 2012 as some kind of momentous time or event — there was meant to be a paradigm shift in consciousness.

Something definitely changed at that time — and I believe it will be for the better, in the long run. In hindsight looking at all that has transpired, and how, it has definitely been a weird decade.
