The Turning Point

Is this the turning point? For Israel, for the Palestinians, for the US, for the world? The Arab Spring was the first sign of the massive worldwide change that is almost upon or door step? Maybe the Mayans where right. Maybe what we are about to witness will be the end of the world as we know it. As we know it from our current unenlightened and single minded perspective. What if everything was about to change? EVERYTHING. Surely any change is an end of what we know. But like anything and everything in the universe, there exists a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. A star lives its life until it consumes all its fuels and then explodes in a massive super nova ball of fire from which a nebula is born, a nebula from which new stars are born. With every death there are more reborn. Life falling into death and death falling into life. The hunter and the goddess. Everything is changing everything else. All falling together in to a spiral of eternity.

Not a circle, for in a circle we relive all that was exactly as it was. And ‘was’ becomes ‘is’. We relive all that is, exactly as it is. The universe is not like that. The universe, everything in it, moves like a spiral, everything keeps repeating itself, all ideas are recycled, evolution moves towards improvement, everything changes, everything is in fact repeated, but everything is repeated differently. Similar, but not the same. Always different, yet the same. 

So yes. Change is coming. It has happened before and it shall happen again. The same story, but with different actors, more refined script, yet the same. Those who resist change have historically always been crushed by the weight of time.

A big change is coming, that much is obvious between the world’s two most dominant ideologies. Conservatism vs. liberalism. Conservatism holds back and resist change, always working against the due process of evolution and thus fighting back the inevitable. The only thing that is inevitable is perpetual change. Which we try to measure by units we call time, but time is a matter of perspective; A Teran year is shorter than a Jovian year and longer than a Mercurian year. Time is not absolute nor is it finite nor is it infinite. Time is a perception. A measure of constantly moving perspectives. This is the tsunami that those who resist change have to survive. 

And what are we at the universal scale where we are nothing more than subatomic particles by sheer contrast and similarity in scale over space and time.

Change is inevitable. We have two choices, either explode, then implode and become black holes, which some dying stars that are too massive for their own good end up being. A black whole, the sheer powerful pull of something greater than gravity. Death incarnate. The definition of absence of light. A monster from which there is no escape not even for light. Or die gracefully as brilliant super nova turned into a nebula, a star nursery. But who is to say that life does not begin with a black hole. Out of chaos comes order and of order comes chaos. An eternal spiral of change. A spiral galaxy, a local cluster of galaxies, a super cluster of galaxies with a heart, a black hole.

From life comes death and from death comes life. A cycle from our perspective but really a spiral because though everything is the same everything is also not the same. Change is coming. This September will get interesting but it is in 2012 that much of what is happening now will erupt like a volcano and change everything forever. Not the end of the world in a biblical sense, but the end of the world as we know it consciously. Just as forever also has an end. To see things like conflicts as ancient repetitions of the same thing, will repeat itself but never the same
