T-6
Days
The end of the world is nigh so apocalypse observers would have us
believe. The Mayan calendar may have begun in 3114BC and continued accurately ever
since, but it comes to an abrupt halt on 21 December 2012. Hence, the belief that
the cosmos will cease to exist in a few days' time...It would
have been my brother Phillip’s 53rd birthday on the 21st.
Soon enough; without the help of
the Mayans, this will all end for each of us one way or another and then our entire
current personal world will fold in upon itself to dissipate into the cosmological
machine. The time of that event is unimportant because probably we are living
multiple parallel lives that span simultaneously the whole of time. When one
strand finishes another begins and joins with those already in play. They touch, caress and repel with equal force
through the spatial time layers triggering thoughts and reverie in us from the other
strand events.
We have already lived so many lives flowing ceaselessly through time in multiple directions and will subsist in so many more that we have no need to fear anything from the future; for not all of them can be tainted by our current measures of regret and longing. That is my belief because in the final analysis; just one lifetime would be too easy. The world and the universe don’t appear to do fair and uncomplicated in this strand. But hope is a child born of hidden knowledge garnered in the cosmic cycle of rebirth.
