While I'm interested to hear all perspectives, and agree with all of what the esteemed Priest says, I have to, by virtue of my experience, go with the illiterate channelling guy - I was writing about the date 2012 and 'the end of the world' in 1989, aged 15, with no knowledge of The Mayan prophecies.
I could accept this as coincidence - but on further inspection my whole life's work, upon which I only recently dared to reflect, is a meditation on the reconciling of opposites. This was far from intentional, and in many ways is in direct conflict with the doctrine of The Mystery School I was brought up in (as was the date 2012 - they believed the world as we know it would end in 2000)
Then, last year, I made almost exactly the same prophecies to the whole 13moon thing - still without knowingly having heard anything about it!
From my perspective, at minimum, this indicates that these ideas are bouncing about a collective unconscious (or collective consiousness?) and I picked up on them like a radio antenna. My subjective experience was far more like being contacted by an entity - which, while it manifested through a marvelous shifting panopoly of archtypal and mythological figures (most notably 'The Green Man' and 'The Being at The Beginning and The End of Time'), ultimately appeared to me as my own God-nature, at which point I ceased to perceive it as separate from myself. For a year after this I did have an entirely different personality, voice, handwriting etc., leading many to believe I was 'possessed' - I prefer to think of it as a timeshare.
If this kind of collective thought is possible - then are we potentially building a self-fulfilling prophecy by thinking about it? Perhaps, but the banality of the media that occupies the mass's consiousness means that it is necessary for us to do rather more than sit on our arses meditiating about how we'd like to be.
Violence will only beget violence, selfishness will only beget selfishness. In this era of global communications our 'weapons of mass instruction' must be The Media and The Arts - it is time to prove once and for all that the pen is ACTually mightier than the sword.
Fu*k prophecies, fu*k transdimensional hyper-beings from space - here's something we can ALL agree on: it's a time of cataclysmic change - and if we're not prepared? - then the bad-guys is going to use the confusion to fu*k it all up for everyone - AGAIN! It's time to make our voices heard, its time to stand up and be counted. Lets show'em - the meek goin' ACTually inherit the Erf!
