Greetings, All~
This space is going to be featuring something a little different over the coming days; I (Whitehawk) thought I’d send out advance notice re: what to expect, and invite your participation.
Setup: Several days ago, Rick sent me a little piece he wrote about the 2012 phenomenon, to post here. This is not the same one that was posted last week. When that one went up, the traffic here really spiked, and I mentioned to Rick I suspected it had to do with the “hot” 2012 topic. He then said he had another 2012 piece… something he wrote for the 2012 website that Sounds True has up in support of their blockbuster book, The Mystery of 2012: Predictions, Prophecies & Possibilities (featuring essays by Gregg Braden, Daniel Pinchbeck, Jean Houston, John Major Jenkins, Jose Arguelles, and others).
Here’s the thing: Rick was reticent to send me his second 2012 piece, because he suspected I wouldn’t appreciate it.
He was right.
Before continuing with this 2012 issue, it may serve to provide a little backstory about my association with Rick. We have known each other for years. We have shared many experiences and conversations; we know one another quite well. And within this “alembic,” varieties of energies kick up between us… one of them being the occasional spar. We can set off charged reflections in each other. In fact, when we met, he commented that I seem “just like him, but in a concave mirror.” In other words, where he zigs, I zag, in quite an illustrious dance of opposites. Within this context, all manner of themes have received “air time” (not to mention fire, water & earth), and — while we share an overall collegiate connection — the alchemical mix can generate a lively froth on occasion!
Rick’s new 2012 commentary, which I’ll post here in the next day or so, invited some froth. (Appropriate timing: full moon.) When I first read it, I responded in all sweetness and light that I did not appreciate his POV, and he and I obviously come from different universes.
His response: “I didn’t think you would like it.” He then toned down his attitude a tad in an edit, and that is what will be posted here soon.
Now, here is where the rest of us come in, if anyone else will join the discussion. If not, then I will be a lone soul in the lion’s den (what else is new), because I will be posting my personal thoughts regarding 2012 after Rick’s post has been in the spotlight for a while.
I am a little nervous about this, because this is a space frequented by Jarow fans. I may be mauled here, we’ll see! I know upon whose turf I tread. But letting this one slide by without offering another perspective to the phenomenon generally referred to as “2012″ went against my Aquarian nature. So… a bit of difference rather than deference on this particular topic.
Stay tuned… and prepare to assume your position at the keyboard to offer your input, if so moved. This is, after all, a community BLOG. I trust we can keep it civil!
Big Frothy Photons,
Whitehawk
