I have 'hobby horses' that interest me, and if you were on Live Journal, perhaps you got to ride on my older 'hobby horse' merry-go-round, Dark Christianity. That comm grew from a tiny hobby-horse to a roaring success, and I hope that this one will also be an apex of common sense, good information, good community, and interesting discussions.<br /><br />2012 is an interesting subject- so many people have so many ideas and predictions about it that it is hard to sort the fact from the nonsense. I seem to have that particular knack, which I honed on Dark Christianity, and will use here. I hope to start a lively and intelligent discussion about 2012 (and 2013!) and become a go-to (FAQ) point for inquiries, thoughts, ideas and information about the whole thing. Here are some ideas for discussion: <br /><br />Is it going to be The End of the World As We Know It? (eotwawki)<br />Will we have an apocalypse or Armageddon? <br />Will people get really scared and do stupid things? <br />Are there actual transition events we should be aware of and prepare for?<br />What books, movies, documentaries, and documents should we read?<br />What should we believe, and what should we dismiss?<br />Will the Mayan calendar be right?<br />Is it the end, or is it the beginning? <br /><br />I am sure there are a bazillion other questions, which will be answered in due time. What I aim to do is to create a comfortable, sane sanctuary where people can discuss things, ask and answer questions, and build a consensus of common sense and spread a little Light around. Of all the things we can do, spreading Light is probably the most important.<br /><br />I am a Skeptic. Yes, I am a metaphysician, a Rosicrucian initiate, a mystic, and a lot of other obscure, esoteric and agnostic things. I track to Neutral (Middle Way) on the Good/Evil stage, and I approach things with an INTP/J sensibility. There will be simple rules, and they will be gently enforced. <br /><br />Welcome aboard! Let's ride!<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=2012&ditemid=419" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://2012.dreamwidth.org/419.html 2012 public sunfell 8
