Yes. It's the end of civilization.

When massive events threaten our survival the instinctual response arising from fear is to lean back on what we know. But we know is also in question. The mind looks for Terra Firma in the midst of collapsing systems and finds none so projection of fears happen and POP conspiracy theories look good. Or Trump/ Fascism - the strength in numbers - good strong all-powerful father etc. The Y2K threw many people into an end of the world hysteria much like what happened in Europe when the calender changed from 999 CE to 1000 CE. In Europe there was a Solar Eclipse in 999 and people took this to mean that the world was coming to an end. They gave goods, property and money to the Roman Catholic Church. Farmers stopped tilling their fields. People huddled in churches fearful the world would end over night.

There were famines and the business class collapsed. Recovery took ten years or longer.

The Hindu Vedic texts with new mathematical corrections state that the Kali Yugas will end in 2025 ( 4 years form now). Kali is the Goddess of Death and Destruction. see a piece Part One that I offer regarding the contexts we live within - and climate crisis looming:

I have to resist the feeling that it will all end soon (within 100 years or so), a kind of a bodily sensation - vague and indistinct, feeling other's fears (I am an empath after all) and a skeptic - a saving grace.

Let's see: Divisiveness, Greed and the Lust for power is over the top with the very rich and our so-called leaders (most of them); Education / Critical Thinking has collapsed; Income inequality is very wide: Economic and Racial justice doesn't exist: Our representatives don't really represent us in the ways they used to in the 60s and early 70s; the Climate Crisis... Need I go on? Some of us have grown numb to it. But even if we haven't what are we to do about it?

I am thankful that I have balanced my life of service to others with an inner spiritual practice that assists in keeping me sane, more or less.
