- According to Terrence McKenna (in Archaic Revival) the Mayan calendar
- does indeed indicate the end of an age in 2012. McKenna has done some
- very suggestive work with fractal-based timelines plotting technological
- innovation, the rise and fall of civilizations, etc. and makes a case
- that they too seem to predict the "immanentization of the eschaton"
- circa 2012.
-
- BTW, I highly recommend Archaic Revival to all who are interested in the
- psychedelic and cyber substrains of magick. McKenna is a
- shroom-besotted Fool, but also a genius IMO. I once described him to a
- friend as "the guy God substituted for Timothy Leary when Leary started
- throwing wild pitches." Good stuff!
