Is This Really the End?
|
|
|
Is This Really the End? covers the "End of Time" events that prophets from many ancient traditions have predicted for the momentous years of 2011 and 2012. Dan Furst's other books related to this topic are: How to Play Aquarius, completed in 2006; The Dance of the Moon, to be completed in early 2008; and Double Harmonies, to be completed in late 2008.
|
| The main premise of Is This Really the End? is that the increasingly dramatic changes that we will see in every area of our lives as in the years leading to 2012 become much easier to understand and navigate when we look at them as the inevitable events that must come as the Age of Aquarius begins, and transforms everything that is important to us. How? The book's chapter outline lays it out: |

| Opinions about what's coming by 2012 range from the most insightful and scholarly to the most wild and wishful, depending on what one wants. Those in the Fear Army, and their allies who want everything to remain as it is, including themselves, expect cataclysmic earth changes, war, economic collapse and every other agony. The Love Army sees the years ahead as a time of promise and joy, offering human beings a chance to heal their planet. |
