I think that the mistake that many people made was that the conclusion of the Mayan calendar was doom and the end of the world. For example Terrence McKenna described 2012 as the beginning of a time period which expressed maximum novelty. A peak of novelty on the timeline. I'm sure he described time as being cyclic and could be expressed as a spiral. Modern society in general have become death conscious and so they look for endings. The Vedic descriptions of yuga time periods have periods of ascension and descension between the 4 principal yugas. I found it interesting that this iron age or Kali yuga ends on 2025 and that that date is outlined by the W.E.F and cohorts as their target date for societal reset with a focus on climate change. Study of past yuga periods depict extreme climatic and geological disturbances at the end of all yugas.
Keep going about that Yuga stuff, very interesting. I heard Sadhguru mentioned it but didn't get much further. He mentioned some distant bigger star that our own solar system cycles around. This is more interesting than the 2012 bs
The Yuga Cycle doctrine tells us that we are now living in the Kali Yuga; the age of darkness, when moral virtue and mental capabilities reach their lowest point in the cycle. The Indian epic The Mahabharata describes the Kali Yuga as the period when the “World Soul” is Black in hue; only one quarter of virtue remains, which slowly dwindles to zero at the end of the Kali Yuga. Men turn to wickedness; disease, lethargy, anger, natural calamities, anguish and fear of scarcity dominate. Penance, sacrifices and religious observances fall into disuse. All creatures degenerate. Change passes over all things, without exception.
The Kali Yuga (Iron Age) was preceded by three others Yugas: Satya or Krita Yuga (Golden Age), Treta Yuga (Silver Age) and the Dwapara Yuga (Bronze Age). In the Mahabharata, Hanuman gives the following description of the Yuga Cycle to the Pandava prince Bhima:
“The Krita Yuga was so named because there was but one religion, and all men were saintly: therefore they were not required to perform religious ceremonies… Men neither bought nor sold; there were no poor and no rich; there was no need to labour, because all that men required was obtained by the power of will…
The Krita Yuga was without disease; there was no lessening with the years; there was no hatred, or vanity, or evil thought whatsoever; no sorrow, no fear. All mankind could attain to supreme blessedness. The universal soul was White… the identification of self with the universal soul was the whole religion of the Perfect Age.
In the Treta Yuga sacrifices began, and the World Soul became Red; virtue lessened a quarter. Mankind sought truth and performed religious ceremonies; they obtained what they desired by giving and by doing.
In the Dwapara Yuga the aspect of the World Soul was Yellow: religion lessened one-half. The Veda was divided into four parts, and although some had knowledge of the four Vedas, others knew but three or one. Mind lessened, Truth declined, and there came desire and diseases and calamities; because of these men had to undergo penances. It was a decadent Age by reason of the prevalence of sin.”
And now we are living in the dark times of the Kali Yuga, when goodness and virtue has all but disappeared from the world.

I too can hold the force of the eternal blue heaven. I mean if someone would hand it to me or point me to it.
However, I'm not always a smartass and believe in intellectual curiosity and...7 people flagged this so far(?!) so maybe it's just me not understanding and there's more here than I can grasp without help? Thanks.

the 2012 consciousness has rightly been bundeled up and tied closed to ferment in the crucible of the Alchemy
