The I-Ching and “Time Wave Zero”

Source: The 6 Best 2012 Apocalypse Theories (Are All Bull@#@%)
#5 The I Ching
A less popular but equally convoluted source is the I-Ching. In the pre-800-number era of human existence, the people of China received their psychic advice from one of their oldest texts, the I-Ching. You asked the I-Ching a question and a certified physic flipped three coins in to the air, drawing a hexagram based on the results. This told your fortune, somehow.
The I-Ching had nothing to do with the end of the world until a man by the name of Terence McKenna came along and made a pattern out of every possible result. After applying this pattern to a line graph accompanied by a timeline of recorded history, he discovered that the high and low points of the graph coincided with several significant events.
On December 21, 2012, the line slowly dips off of the chart, once again supposedly indicating a world-ending catastrophic buttfuck.
What Predictions (Supposedly) Came True?
The Fall of the Roman Empire
The Discovery of the New World
World Wars I and II
Why it Might be Bullshit:
The reality is McKenna utilized a pattern of his own invention to create a timeline of his own invention, and then predicted world events that had already happened.
After all, there’s enough bad sh%$ in human history that you could probably correlate several large scale catastrophes right alongside the peaks and valleys of a line graph showing Disney’s stock price over the last decade.
He couldn’t even decide what the end of his timeline signified, claiming everything from the apocalypse to alien invasion to time travel. Honestly, what kind of half-assed prophet was this guy? Maybe the next Batman movie comes out in 2012 and it’s a huge disappointment, and the I-Ching just takes it way harder than everybody else.

2012 is such a load of bullshit. I don’t see how you idiots believe in all this. The world is not going to end in three years unless Jesus returns. That is the truth.

I have some additional comments on McKenna’s nonsense:

As an affirmed believer in the Messiah and someone who has submitted to His Will after years of objections after objections after objections, while people will most likely die then, it doesn’t seem likely that the Winter solstice of 2012 will be the end of the world. (So, why am I here? I guess I just like this kind of stuff.) Of course, I do not base that entirely on faith. Unless it is a sudden extra-terrestrial cataclysm, as in a meteor, black hole, aliens (if you believe that), etc., or by man’s doing (but, honestly, can we give ourselves that much credit?), I don’t see much evidence supporting it. On the other hand, something I close my mind to is closing my mind to something. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Meanwhile, live it up, folks!

Gregg Braden gives an illustration of a woman being healed of cancer. I have a personal experience of performing a similar prayer and having results. Please provide proof for or against this so that I can know the truth. I believe prayer works, but there should be scientific evidence of it. Thank You.

I look forward to seeing the movie 2012? this weekend. The CGI looked great. Maybe the story and acting won’t be up to par for everyone but the 6 bucks I’ll be paying for the matinee…. well… I think it will be well worth the price for the big special effects alone.

@ Joe Moma
Joe, you don’t believe in something as crazy as the I-Ching predicting the future…but Jesus is going to rapture us all away. Yep. Makes Perfect sense.
