It’s 2am and for some reason I am not sleeping, instead I got my media player connected to a Vocal Trance stream via Internet. To my left the TV is on with no sound, CNN is tuned in. Two simultaneous stories have dominated the news-feeds, Libya and Japan. I get so self-absorbed into my own issues while the world around me keeps on moving.
Japan gets hit by an Earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 . Tsunami then ensues and tens of thousands of lives are flushed out to sea. If that seems bad, a atomic crisis comes into play. All-the-while the Middle East is seeing unrest it has never seen before. I have seen unrest from the Iranian crisis with the 50 American hostages through the war in Iraq. But, this is different as a revolution for a new life has begun to sweep across the region. They have seen a new world.
A new world is brought to them with the new portable digital age. A technology that demands, without mercy, freedom to expand and can not be stop without destroying humanity with it. The webbing of the Intranets into one true Internet grows like cells of bacteria. You can destroy any part of it but, the other cells can still communicate with each other; it has no core. Communications can no longer be blocked.
As I look at all this I wonder if there is more to the alignment of the Winter Solstices of 2012? The Mayan’s Long Count Calendar measures the Earth’s celestial precession every 25800 years. At the very moment of the Winter Solstice in 2012 the sun will move over the galactic center of the Milky-Way as the Earth Sol and the Milky-way will align in conjunction with each other. It is believed that Humanity started during the last alignment. Humanity has nearly completed one celestial precession of the Earth. From my understanding, the Mayan’s did not say it was the end of the world, but an end of an age. We will either go into the age of enlightenment or destroy ourselves. The evidence seems to be becoming clear about this too. Information now flows in ways that can highly enlighten us-- or destroy us. The date is purely symbolic in my opinion; however, I think the warning is clear. We had all feared that weapons of mass destruction would be the end of us. But, have you ever considered for a moment that the Internet, The World Wide Web, Al Gores’s baby, will make or break us?
