Today it is. The end of the world (as we know it), the day the Mayan Calender supposedly ends, plenty of books written about the subject, plenty of prophecies, predictions and speculations.

In The Mindscape of Alan Moore, Shadowsnake Films touched the topic too, and the description given by Alan Moore about what could be potentially the end of the current state of consciousness is far more plausible than all the doomsday scenarios.

In any case, I think that on Saturday 22 December a lot of people will wake up slightly disappointed that they’re still alive, still got to pay taxes and bills, still got to deal with the drudgery of work and dramas cooked up by relatives, spouses, lovers and foes.

Equally, a lot of people will be happy to live on and make the best of each hour, each step and project only the most positive energy onto their path. For me at least, it’s the only way to live, particularly after experiencing a devastating fire (which destroyed the entire loft and roof) and the loss of the majority of my work from the last decade. Stuff is only stuff, material things come and go in our lives. The only advice I can give is to scan all your important notes. Somebody told me: If information is not stored in three different places, it does not exist.

Fortunately my most important notes from the last 5 years were rescued and I intend to write a few books and complete a few projects which I find fit to place onto my tombstone.

The key is to pick your battles, focus your energy and take every step with true conviction. There is no other way.

Best to everybody on their chosen journey…
