religion time and again calls upon us to look towards the inevitable demise of our planet. I have lost faith in such a concept and believe it to be irrational/suicidal and detrimental to the overall quality of our future generation's living conditions.
Are we so discontent with this world that we would welcome it's destruction?

No the end of the planet is not near.
A lot of this hype comes from Christian American influence. A Lot of protestants over there are obsessed with the end times.

I wonder. Most ends to civilizations in the past were the end to their known world but the start of something new or expansion of some other culture with more advanced understanding.Maybe the world as we know it or are used to it on an individual or collective level will end,but that does not spell death literally for us humans,just something different or a new way of life.
The planet may not end,that's not due for millions and billions of years maybe.But it may change in a way that is not advantageous to the personal interests of everyone.All we can do is plot,set things in motion that are advantageous to ourselves and watch.Who really knows whats gonna happen with certainty?
Death in the tarot usually involves a change of some sort.Loss of something usually leads to a transformation in some way, not total non-existence (or I may be wrong) right?
I wonder if millions believing in this end can set it in motion.I doubt it ,but from a brief period of practicing magic,strange things have happened.

THE CHANGE is upon us. The world veiw as we currently understand is changing. These are the end times. Not some apocylyptic Climax. But human concousness taking a leap forward. Even the masses are aware of this to some degree. The old establishments are violently struggling to keep a hold Let them pray for the end of days cause they're inadvertantly praying for their own desruction!

End.... not really, I would say a shift. We cannot deny the rising chaos We cannot deny the exponential growing of pollution and population We cannot deny the poles shifting and the global warming We cannot deny so easily the ancient prophecies. We cannot ignore this deep feeling that huge change is to come. We cannot be deaf to the Call of Dreaming Cthulhu. And that all of these things happens in the same time. I don't think it is the apocalypse. but i feel in my blood and bones that an end is near and a new beginning... after a very hard time! But we did not came here to have it easy, right? It is funnier with the end of times and stuff! lets look at the global crisis and general panic as we nicely dance toward another dimension (shift or not, it is what happens when we die lol) Dinausors were too stupid to know their end was near, as we are! hahahahaha (no, seriously, the end is an illusion, time does not really exist where we go

I believe that the acceptance of the end of the earth goes beyond, personal content or discontent. Relatively speaking, earth is just an endlessly small dustball of energy, existing only for an endlessly brief flash (in this form). There exists other ways to perceive it, but this is one of the ways. They say that the sun shall probably reach its limit of our "unexistence" before our earth core does, but life as we know it is equally dependent of these elements and many more being exactly as they are now, ANY sort of change is the end of the old and the birth of the new, on any scale. Now again. No, i accept the time limit of earth and thus its end, through observances i have made in my life regarding the laws of physical existence. The ways of the masses, however. The folly of the crowds. I await the fall of the cardhouse prison they have build around themselves. I HAVE BEEN waiting since forever. ;D Ever since they rose the first two cards and proclaimed they had build a house.

Discontent of this world I am not, I am in fact content to be able to accept all possibilities And to be not only fearless in front of the death, But to also dance happily in a sea of rotting flesh and to taste bliss beyond bliss awaking in never born tentacles Immortal.
In strange Aeons, even death may die...

I am in no way discontent with my life. as a matter of fact, I have no plans on dying any time soon if ever. if we as magicians forge our own reality then in my reality everyone and everything I come into contact with is a computer generated program (nothing more than a holodeck of star trek fame) or even better, its all just a dream. to you, yes, one day I will die but in reality I will just wake up. ;D

I truly think the end is near, not quite tomorrow or anything. But, near. Who will win? Who will show up and claim sovereignty? I haven't a clue, but it won't be who has the numbers. It'll be in the stars I believe.

If in magically it is possible to transfer consciousness,I'll just transfer to a mass of roaches.While humanity is dead,I am alive,spreading extremely fast feasting off of the dead...how romantic.And my awareness may grow rapidly too (the critters reproduce fast.)Just kidding.Roaches will outlive humanity though.
I doubt 2012 will be the end.It probably may mark an age of something like a coming together of sorts (to which I admit disgust ,a lot of stupid people coming together won't be good for anyone lol).As for a literal end I doubt it.Maybe it will simply mark the "Beginning of the end" or unraveling of mankind.The beginning of the fall has to start somewhere and how can we have an end without a beginning of the end?The stars are supposed to be right for something according to astronomers.We'll see what Necronomicon hell spawn announces its global and alien entrance shall we?I do desire to be amused.
I have no doubt there will be scams up the wazoo for people who do believe this crap.People buying bunkers,survival items,survivalist group will spring up just as they did in 2000 with their own agendas. Then everyone will wake up in 2013 or 2014 realizing how stupid it all was and how much money they wasted.Nonetheless,winter around solstice (can't remember if its supposed to be Dec 22 or some other date)2012 is a good time to plan something ritualistic since there supposed to be something unique in the star alignment.

i propose to you that the destruction of the world needn't be violent or negative. it is written by various prophets that the end is coming etc. but everyone has lived in a time when people thought that the Apocalypse was just around the corner.
the worlds destruction, could mean the end of the world in which put our selves. the end of this evidently terrible world and the birth of something better. the destruction of old ideas, and short coming which we still cling to. Cling to because humanity is going to naturally want to sit in this time of ignorance masked in consumerism.
so bring the end on, and let a re-birthing Apocalypse ensue.

"300 years of Romanovs, why not 300 more?" - quote from the film "Nicholas and Alexandra" by the character Vladimir Lenin. Of course in the film, as in history, there were not 300 more years of rule by the Czars. So whereas I don't think the world is about to end, also, I do not see it continuing on as it is. Technology ensures inevitable change. For better or worse, well, only time will tell. Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

I always thought the world would go down two possible path's.
#1 Like "Demolition man". Where everything is clean, purified, everyone's on drugs & we save he planet.
#2 Like "Blade Runner". Total corporation hell hole. Earth is a garbage can filled with the losers. Off World people have a shot at corrupting another planet.
I always leaned towards the Blade Runner world, because at least the conditions would encourage rebellion.
Awake!

The world will end eventually, as will humanity. Even the Necronomicon foretells such. The only question is when ? When the stars come around again, that is when; at the end of the precession. That ends in 2012 some say. The old ones have told me they are working on it now. But yes, I agree with many, there are those who want to cash in on such and make a fast buck.
One thing I do believe for a certainty - the Cockroaches will inherit the earth !

Apocalyptic ideas are popular among Christians and New-Agers, and for both it is a call to do nothing. It makes them feel warm and secure in their do-nothing, devolving lives. They don't have to actually Do anything, because Jesus, or Spacemen, or whatever are coming back to fix everything.
It's just a lazy fucking philosophy.
Ia, Ia, Cthulhu phthagn.

This is another one of those times we can perceive divergent sides to an issue; negative and positive. Some use the notion of a revelation or cataclysm as an excuse to do nothing. Others, and I hope the entire Cult of Cthulhu is in this latter camp, believe in the Emerald Apocalypse as an opportunity to become, to manifest, and to Awaken! Time is short, make changes now.
The Great Old Ones won't come back to rescue us without us doing the lion's share of the preparation. Work comes from Work, super-efforts arise from super-efforts. Individually, you shall receive just as much as you give. As an organization, that which is received shall be three fold. And when the Ancient Ones do return, all faithful disciples shall inherit seven fold their gifts.
By His loathsome tentacles,
Venger As'Nas Satanis Ipsissimus Cult of Cthulhu

True most Christian religions don't take a stance on a "political"(environmental) issue like this since they know it asks to much of their members lol. They love the fear, the daddy figure that will crush everyone for their insolence, including them. The positive ones try not to merge to many issues at once since it over loads them with responsibility & ruins the drug their on lol.
That religious drug buries their inactivity & rage to the point that they yearn for a day of reckoning & apocalypse. All that they would not do with their lives, God will force upon them & the world. The Christian end times represents all the energy that the Christian has buried under the drug. It is the day when all their rage comes pouring out on to the public & the environment. "Let the fires role through the houses of mine enemy & mine own house" lol, that kind of thing. All this is a complete danger to our survival as a species. If only the LHP was more well know & encouraged among the masses, then we would see a little more responsibility & accountability for our races actions.
This would alleviate most if not all of that rage that humanity has for it self. What the lessor Gods have given us to keep us down & subjugate our freedom, we could give to the A:O as a "gift" of our change of heart, our desire for respect/Godhood. Our species would free that rage into a place that it always should have gone, a place were only the desire for freedom could ever be respected or absorbed, the Formless Black Essence.
It seems reasonable to suggest that most of the religions that purpose an "apocalyptic" ending are suffocating that freedom from us, our species. Locking it down on a massive scale that influences us all, heightening everything from aggression to fear & a multitude of other symptoms that are responsible for our down fall.
Hail Cthulhu!
