Much has been made over the approach of “the end of the calendar”, set to take place on December 21, 2012, at least from a Mayan perspective. We cannot accurately predict what’s going to happen, if anything at all, until that date finally arrives. Will we ease into a new 26,000 year celestial cycle effortlessly? Or, will chaos, doomsday, and end of time predictions actually be realized? If we survive the arrival of 12-21-12, will consciousness change, as a result of being thrust into a new era? Will Nostradamus’s predictions come true, for a cosmic collision of catastrophic proportions? Is there any hope or future left?
THE SKY IS FALLING! aims to explore hypothetical answers and commentary, serving as a cauldron, from the blasphemous to the reassuring, as we approach 12-21-12. Curated by Alan Baer.
