in which regard? What is so special? Besides, I'm an old calendarist, Gregorian 2012 is really just 2005 to me

get more Jungian about it, each of our individual worlds have to all inevitably come to an end in our own unique time, in order for us to crucify the narcissistic ego and become one with the flow of the vibrating strings of the Multiverse. This is the Christian Apocalypse, and it is not some miraculous crescendo to the world, rather that still, silent, bewildering yet deeply clarifying moment each individual has internally when their petty fantasies about themselves and the world finally dissolve leaving a clear-sighted glimpse of the real world, of the continuity and oneness of everything, and the ability to honestly say, "fuck it" and mean it without being bitter or anxious. Joseph Campbell called this the Hero's Journey, Freud's intentions with psychoanalysis, and Saint John the Divine's cataclysmic Apocalypse.
To destroy the ego as painful experience, it seems like the end of the world, but it is only the end of
a world, and the beginning of finally seeing and living in harmony with
the world.
