Teatime: Towards 2013

The Teafaerie is sick of the 2012 meme and wants everyone to get over it.

I don’t mind the woo-woo galactic alignment/phase shift versions so much, though a lot of it strikes me as newage (rhymes with sewage). Most of the apocalyptic versions piss me off, though. I think that kind of crap is dangerous to the point of being potentially self-fulfilling. All the buzz surrounding the new disaster porn movie 2012 has me seething and stomping around the house, bemoaning the fate of thousands of naive children of all ages who got caught up in the brilliant “Search 2012″ advertising scheme and probably think that they only have three years to live now. The 2012 movie is rated PG-13. Apparently, depicting the violent death of billions of innocents is considered less damaging than an exposed girl-nipple. Grrrrrr! And sure, everybody has a right to say whatever they want. I just feel that if I were going to export my visions of the future, psychedelically inspired or otherwise, it would be important to me to project a reality that I wouldn’t mind helping bring into being. Most people who say that they believe the dramatic end of the world version are posers, in my cheeky opinion. I mean if you really thought that civilization was going to collapse in a few short years, you’d be burying canned goods and running up the credit cards. And some people are. Good on them. At least they’re not going around scaring gullible people while they hedge their bets in the background. The Teafaerie is calling you out, fearmongers!

Regarding 2012 being just a year,
I wouldn't underestimate the power of a good meme/memeplex. From this viewpoint, 2012 can be major.

Or it might not.

It seems hard to take very seriously anyone who's absolutely sure about the future. I find it much more interesting to listen to people who map out possibilities instead of certainties.

I find Terence McKenna's 2012 theories to be enjoyable listening, since he doesn't take his ideas too seriously (even if he might, from time to time, seem like he believes in them). He's more of a very creative storyteller.

"Newage" has been in use for some 20-25 years. It is useful, especially when one finds oneself marooned in locales like Mt. Shasta, Sedona, Woodstock, etc.

Can't wait for all the 2012 shite to end.

Not "just" another year... it'll be the year that Daniel Pinchbeck's (and everyone else who hitched their ideological pony to this wagon) book sales peak and then disappear altogether.

"Look up David Wilcocks Awake and Aware conference, and he will tell you the real truth in where our evolution is heading and what is happening 2012..."

Not being familiar with David Wilcox, I looked him up on the net.

At first blush this seems to be more of the same old same old NWO/UFO stuff, and gives me no reason to think this guy is able to tell me the "real truth."

But fortunately, he seems pretty confident that there will be an official government announcement concerning the existence of ET's and UFO in the next six months, and at least that's a prediction that can be validate.

If it comes to pass, I'll take his words on 2012 under serious consideration. But until then (and if it doesn't happen), he's just another guy with a website.

My bet is on 2012 being just another year,

Look up David Wilcocks Awake and Aware conference, and he will tell you the real truth in where our evolution is heading and what is happening 2012, this article is right about a disasterist ending never showing up, but that doesnt mean 2012s just another year either.

"Newage"

That's a great word.
