My son is genuinely concerned. He's caught some programming, and some minor mentions in school that lead him to believe that 2012 is the end of the world…When a 'calendar' does not continue - it concerns people. Have you told him that the “calendar”, aka Long Count, does not end on 2012? It concerns people because they think the Long Count does not continue, which is false. It does not stop or end on 2012, and the closest it will get to truly hitting its end will be 20.0.0.0.0. and that is quite a ways off. Regardless, I think you hit the nail on the head when you said “programming”. This sort of thing is really a bit of viral communication on a meta-communication level, so to speak. This stuff will really only end once we hit 2013 and people move onto the next big fad of cataclysm. Yes of course, but he's watched a few 'History Channel' shows (like-history is more like it) and he's convinced that these really smart people have all the answers. Even though he calls me super-mom, and believes I know everything - I tell him quite often 'I just don't know'. I even suggested that he had allowed himself to be influenced by the programming, and he said - 'yeah well, I have to take a position on it somehow' Ummmm how about review the information and draw your conclusion based on as much info as possible, not 2 hours worth of history channel programming. [sigh] I'm still working at it :-)

If Cthulhu awakens all social laws will crumble.Rape and murder fest...why the fuck not?You only live once and you only possibly die once.I say if Cthulhu awakens...makes as many people as miserable as possible in a short amount of time.I hope to be caring a razor or blade by which to do that...until I get stabbed,shot or taken out.It'd feel good to know nothing matters anymore and that humankind is hopeless.
If it doesn't happen I won't be disappointed though.I never truly believed anyways lol

Much has been suggested and prophezied of the coming end(And, it will come, eventually)...But, who ever said the end means death or destruction.
In the tarot; the death card means "change". Such will be the Apocolypse...Whatever faith you may follow.
As to the question of what will happen if(or when) Lord Cthulhu awakens from his deep, dark sleep and rises up from the seas...I just dunno.
But, I am curious to see what happens.

Well said. There are deaths and births on all levels and planes, all the time. Ends and beginnings forever. As for Cthulhu, personally, for me, it is not a mystery to be taken too lightly or too heavy.

if Cthulhu rises....Imagine a huge outline of Cthulhu walking, half obscured, waist down, by mountains. he is hundreds if not thousands of miles away and suddenly he looks at you. AT YOU! I'd be more than honored knowing he acknowledged my existence. My life would truly be complete within that moment.

Cthulhu, to me is a symbol to represent the catalyst for awakening. If it awakens, then I must be awakened to be aware of that. Awakening begins with Cthulhu, and ends with me.

No, it ends with me, Cora... If the slumbering god awakens; those of us who believe will be facing something beyond our meager imaginations; we will all be shaken to our very cores of what we consider reality...The world will turn on it's ear; and we'll know what we're really made of...

Silly children...Cthulhu has awakened... His works are among us..The vacant stare of a crack whores child bears witness to his ascension...The creeping depravity masquerading as culture his tabernacle...Idiot gods assumed the skin suits of leaders...Obediently we prostrate into the abyss...

Given that Cthulhu has awakened, I would take being called 'silly children' as a compliment and a stay of execution awaiting the self-assured adults that think they know the unknowable.

You suddenly popped in here as a guest (this happens every fucking time I open the forum up so people don't have to register/login right away, yet there are many who want to see something in the forum who don't have the patience to register first... Arrrghhhhh!) and spouted your mouth off. That's why you're getting flack, Reverend.
So now you can either explain yourself and communicate with us in a civil manner or bugger off. Personally, I don't care which.

Its a chaos magic practice to adopt a belief that something seemingly unreal like bugs bunny or superman is real,Cthulhu's is no exception. Hehe ya I read the accounts of a Chaos Magician evoking Mr. Spock in front of his class just to prove a point. Many people there either seen or heard Spock. The author also has claimed to get success working with Pinhead, Darth Vader, even Goku. I believe that the astral realm, being Onerios, the world of dreams and imagination, is also a spiritual realm. Thought gives birth to the reality of that realm. Any being thought of enough, expecially when linked with OTHER beings such as various mythological Gods (The whole Nergal/Leviathon/Jorgumundr/Cthulhu connection) pool the power of such thoughtforms together. Because they are thought about, because they are pondered over, and because some believe the posibility they COULD exist somewhere or somehow, they DO exist on the astral realm.. as Egregors on the Astral. Such beings, although made of thought and emotion, are REAL spiritual beings. If you dont believe me, try it yourself. Ever evoke demons or spirits before? Try it with never-born, never-physical beings, and see what happens. ALOT of power as been put towards Cthulhu. Arguably he IS the Lord of the Abbys/The Subconcious, making him the Lord of Dreams, the Astral. Read the quote in my signature below if you want to know what would happen when he awakens. I believe the Astral and Physical would also become one realm. In doing so, those who wished to learn would be godlike, as their thoughts would become reality. Even IF he never existed as a God before Lovecraft, he has been linked with more ancient godforms. I have experianced more awe and dread attempting to evoke, hell, even think STRONGLY of Cthulhu, so I KNOW in SOME form, even if astral, he exists. But I also feel joy, and power. He is willing to share with us, otherwise, as Venger has said, he would have NOT been one of the meddlers in our evolution. Perhaps we all are part A:O, physical counterparts, and it is our job to rend the veil between the astral and physical, and THAT is how we open the gate. Doing so would mean you would have to be a master of YOUR reality. Im not saying "Get rich, rule the world" but TRUELY flex the power of your will. A bit of a rant, but something to ponder..

Personally? I think he will destroy all that man has wrought. Destroy us and all evidence that we existed. He will destroy their gods, their hopes, their dreams. The Old Ones will rule once more, and the universe shall quiver at their coming.

Yay, someone who knows their Lovecraft...not that there is any shortage of that here, lol. Anyhow, to the Reverend, if that's what you want to believe, your welcome to it & I hope you enjoy prostrating yourself while the demiurge rapes you up the ass while consuming your soul. To Abigor, gods I hope so because then we'll be free of this prison & can get on with our real work as the new gods!

You don't exist in my sphere of reality, so it still ends with me. "Ends" meaning, I am fully awakened. Cthulhu is the catalyst, the goo that keeps the awakening wheel turning.

Truer words hath not been spoken. Of course, only if you hold said words as true! Cthulhu exists if you wish for him to exist. All things may exist within the mind. I often flex the power of my will, I often question all that stands, all that people have set in stone. I take the stone, I examine it, and I smash it into pieces. I believe that Cthulhu exists, as so I choose to. No man may cometh unto Yog-Sothoth, but by him.
