HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!!

And now from the archives . . .

Below is one of my earliest research work on Christmas. I struggled with the 188-word introduction (from “The Twelve Days of Christmas” to “Epiphany:”)

I’ve been working on this for a staggering 3 days and 3 sleepless nights. Finally with a research technique Prof. Ronald Hilton showed me, I finished the introduction. whew!!! Lesson learned.

 

 

 

Mayan Prophecy – Dec. 21, 2012 Doomsday

Religion: Nostradamus and the Mayan Eschatologies (Bienvenido Macario, Philippines)10/17/08 3:12 am

Bienvenido Macario writes:

Perhaps as an addendum to Mike Bonnie’s post on “The Story of Stuff” (16 October), it is the unreasonably long hours of daily work including the commute that should get a big part of the blame. And in some businesses, taking a vacation could mean putting the security of your job at risk.

JE commented on Mike Bonnie’s post:

I just watched the “Story of Stuff,” and it’s very gripping–especially when Annie points out the cycle of fatigue that reigns in modern-day life: we work many hours to pay for our stuff, and return home so tired that we watch TV, which reminds us of all the stuff we need to buy.

Bienvenido Macario comments:

TS Elliot once said that the television enables millions of people to laugh at the same joke at the same time and still be alone in your living room.

Today we have better stations with better programming like History Channel, TLC, A & E, National Geographic. For business CNBC is good. Programs from these stations are worth recording.

This brings us to a scary Halloween time “story”:

Not until I saw last Wednesday (10-15) a part of a History Channel Episode, “Lost Book of Nostradamus,” did I discover how fascinated people are with the 16th-century seer. A number of books have been written and films made about Nostradamus and his prophecies.

According to this “Lost Book of Nostradamus” episode, Nostradamus prophesied Dec. 21, 2012 as the end of the world, which is exactly what scholars believe the pre-Columbian Mayan Calendar indicated, according to another History Channel feature: “Mayan Doomsday Prophecy,” to be aired again on Thursday 10-23-08.

Dec. 21, 2012 is only four year away, right? Now Jesus Christ was supposed to have been born on Zero BC/AD. But a glitch somewhere was discovered and His commonly accepted date of birth is 4 BC or four years early.

What if the scholars and archaeologist missed out a caveat in translating the Mayan Calendar, and forgot to transcribe the words “give or take four years”? This would mean that the end of the world could come as early as Dec. 21, 2008 or as late as Dec. 21, 2016!

Are you scared?

Am I scared? No comment. I am not ready to give my opinion on the Mayan calendar and the 12-21-2012 Doomsday Prophecy or Nostradamus. There is still hope before then for my people in the Philippines to ensure a better future.

What good is it for my people and I that the world did not end but we remain slaves in our own ancestral land as the trashing and degradation of our environment continues?

JE comments: I’ve become rather addicted to the History Channel since I moved to my new digs in Royal Oak, where we now have some really neat stuff, including a behemoth flat-screen TV with satellite service. It is remarkable to note the popularity of doomsday programs–Nostradamus, the Mayan Eschatologies, and even I Ching appear to predict our planet’s demise at the end of 2012. This is all unsettling, and worth more than the simple dismissal that the positivists among us might offer in response. Could it be that we’ll see only one more US presidential election cycle before the game’s over?
