Have you ever noticed, that there is always something in our future that is negative? Something that needs to be feared?

A few years ago it was the Y2K bug, before that it was the menace of the Russians, and before that it was the threat of nuclear war (duck and cover, do you remember that?)
Why is it that the 5th  estate [the media] always seems to have something in front of us that is fear oriented.
However:
This idea of the 2012 is in fact a some kind of consciousness expanding experience is something new.  Before these ideas were simply bad and fear-based. This seems to be a divergence from normal human reaction of "fight versus flight".  So I'm encouraged by this..

What do I think is going to happen at 2012:
Absolutely nothing.  And then there will be a short intermission as the media dreams of something else that we need to be afraid of.

I think its some what true.

I think the end of the world is not going to be in 2012. There was once being predicted in 2000, and then 2006/6/6 and then 2008/8/8, and now 12/21/2012. What I think would be happening tho is that our human consciousness would shift to a higher level of spirituality, and some people who practice psychic arts would also advance in 2012.
