Toward 2012 [Postmodern Times series]

Postmodern Times is a series of short animated films presenting new ideas about global consciousness and techniques for social and ecological transformation. Our first episode, "Toward 2012", introduces the project, explaining concepts from the best-selling book, "2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl" (Tarcher/Penguin, 2006) by Daniel Pinchbeck, in the author's own voice. Future segments will focus on shamanism, sustainability, alternative energy systems, the Mayan Calendar, quantum physics and synchronicity, human sexuality, and a host of other subjects.

The ideas are very intriguing and the animation was amazing.

Upvote for Daniel Pinchbeck.

Pinchbeck is a bit of the lesser dog to McKenna's mantle.

Substitute all the stuff in this with what they were saying 25 years ago, and you'll see how full of bullshit all of this is. As someone who spent a lot of time at the San Diego Zoo in the early 80s, I've developed a sizeable lack of tolerance for this sort of nonsense, since I was exposed to so much of it as a kid.

All that'll happen in 2012 is Obama winning re-election, which is bad enough.

second half lost me

I voted too early and want it back now... last half just killed it. Anything that treats the self and conscience as something else than our body is grasping at supernatural answers. And supernatural is the same as false.

To me this reeks of the standard new age hippie crap but in a sleek iPodish package.
