But what does that have to do with 2012?
How many people on this forum thought that there would be some kind of ascension event today?
How many thousands of people have been following the new age community for 20 years expecting this 2012 major event?
Let's draw some definitive conclusions.
David Wilcock: FRAUD. This is the guy who supposedly slept in Don Elkins' bed. He lived with Carla and Jim but it seems he was kicked out for some reason (not doing the work he agreed to do? smoking too much weed?)
He then went and started a website where he channelled Ra and started telling people that something big involving UFO landings and ascension events would happen in 2000. When it didn't pan out he changed it to 2012.
Now he's on TV and has a book and supposedly a movie. What now? When all your claims are proven false, one after another after another, what then? There were no mass arrests. There were no destroyed underground bases. There was no alien disclosure in 2009. Obama did not defeat the Illuminati. And most of all: NOTHING HAPPENED ON TODAY Dec 21st, 2012.
As someone who basically wasted six years of my life on New Age stuff, what do I have to show for it? Some old Buddhist stuff about Joy in the moment? What the f*** is the point of channelled material if all it does is reproduce Zen and Buddhist material from forever ago?
Of course, I didn't expect anything to happen today. But now that today has finally come I guess I'm looking for final closure on this delusional part of my life. What does the New Age community have to offer?
The entire New Age community has been obsessed with THE NEW AGE. Ra said 2011. Mayans said 2012. Everyone said 2012. So much channelled material said so.
So where does the New Age community go from here? Are people just going to keep on like the entire community wasn't caught up in a mass delusion about a huge event happening today? Are people just going to pretend this never happened and keep harping on about love and light and ascension and the age of Aquarius and mayan prophecies and star children?
I agree with you. There is something deeply dissatisfying about today. Now I question this entire new age / LoO philosophy. Who is to say the entire Law of One isn't complete and utter bullshit? Every other channeling has been proven wrong today. What's different about this one? Has Ra said anything that's come true after 31 years? Or anything that is verifiable?
I feel like this is a deeply sad day for humanity. Not only because there has been no great awakening, or spiritual ascension, or alien contact, but because this spectacular failure just reinforces the belief that spiritual people are lunatics and this world is meaningless outside materialistic greed and consumption.
I wouldn't be surprised is today marked the shift of humanity into total and utter darkness. Can anyone be trusted anymore?
