"This is the End...

"...A lot of people tend to confuse Ragnarök with the Christian term 'Armageddon', which means 'The End of the World.' But, that is not the case here because in the Old Norse way of thinking, everything moved in cycles. So it's basically telling the story about a ring that ends, but also a ring that begins. So something needs to die, for something else to live. And these days, when the sun is turning, that is what it's about. To let die what needs to die. It's the end of the death cycle, of the year. Today, or in these days, this is when summer is born. This is when light of the year is born. In these days. So it's a very good opportunity ... to let die stuff that you don't need to carry around anymore. To make room for new stuff that you can reap during later this year." ~Einar Selvik

No religion has all the answers but many have some answers. I wouldn't be surprised if some event took place. Maybe only one will happen, maybe all will happen in a certain order or only in certain areas. Who knows. To think that the end of Earth can only happen according to our understanding of science would be arrogant and foolish. We don't know what will happen or how it will happen. I don't know and don't pretend to know. Maybe only certain events will take place but just because it'd be the end of earth as we know it, doesn't mean it's literally the end of the earth. It could mean that a new age is coming or Earth itself will change. Who knows? No one really does. Whether it's told by a priest or a scientist, it's speculation.

It could be the end of a beginning and then again a beginning.

It's the end of the world as we know it... I'm feeling kinda crappy. Who knew we would be electing the anti-christ to the Whitehouse. For those who believe in cycles, he does appear to be a resurrection of Hitler and Stalin combined.

Gospel of Thomas

(18) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be." Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death."
