December 21, 2012, Doomsday or Ascension Day, Whatever

Breaking my custom, today on my blog, I ask a question, "Tell us all about this doomsday or big day thing?" Our overall message is that since you don't really know about it, and since there's nothing you can do about it, just let it happen however it happens in its own cycle. The perspective is very lighthearted. I like it so well, I'm sharing it here.

The blog has one-sentence literal interpretations of four Rider Waite Tarot cards. Here are the cards' meanings and illustrations from which the meanings arise:
Wheel of Fortune Wheel of Fortune is about destiny, and the happening of an event, and about how cosmic things are behind what happens in the here and now. Big roulette wheel in the sky with occult symbols all over and around it.
Four of Swords s not doing anything, is taking a time out from participating in his life, disengaged, sleeping or meditating on a grave in a cathedral, which is a vision quest part of the knighthood ceremony. Nothing's up, nothing's happening around here.

Two of Pentacles A juggler in a funny outfit is dancing as the plates move back and forth, up and down. He is wearing a dunce cap of sorts, and behind him are ships tossing on fantasy extreme waves: rocking the boat. This fellow is silly, and this card is about rhythmic movement, cycles, things that are in progress, and things that are ongoing.
Fool is a flighty fella skipping around a cliff, not knowing any better, happy as can be: young and optimistic. Don't mind it, don't bother, fergit it, don't even think about it.

And with that explanation and introduction, here are the direct translations of what Rider Waite Tarot has to say about December 21, 2012, which has been called Ascension Day or Doomsday:

Nothing is happening, and there's no way to know.
Waiting for the miracle that is coming out of nowhere.
Doesn't remember a thing about what is going on, nothing is happening, and we are just waiting.
I'll go along with the assumption we are destined to die.
Meditating on a destiny that comes out of nowhere.
Not seizing an opportunity, we don't have to go through the motions anymore.
Oh, just let whatever happens happen without you, one thing after another.
If you do nothing, the process will still go on, and anything could happen.
The youthful stage is nothing wonderful.
It happens even if you do nothing, so you continue to be free as a bird.
I'm passing on this grand opportunity, just doing my usual routines.
I didn't get the chance to squirm free of it all.
This is my big chance to take a nap and keep ignoring it all.
Don't take any chances, just ignore all the antics.
Letting the world wheel turn without me tonight.
Something is happening out there, and that person won't even be there.
You never know when there's an event you have no active role in at all.
I'm not participating in making anything happen, I don't want to know what's going on.
You never know when you make events happen in your sleep.
The big event is an unknown cycle you can't do a thing about.
Nothing great happens but we are keeping an open mind.
Don't bother to keep trying to be free of a destiny.
One miracle after another is going to happen in our sleep, I presume?
A great thing happens without anyone knowing or doing anything? - how silly!
The miracle is that no one did anything at all to rock the boat.
You don't know how silly this is: Nothing's going to happen.
I have a subconscious habit of tuning out these big destiny cycles.
Somehow we just assume big events happen by default in some cycle.
I haven't gotten around to the big event yet, and I'm not going to.
Unmoved that wonderful things are about to happen, just going with the flow.
Destiny is something that happens to you whether or not you pay it any mind.
Oh, it's just luck. Either it will happen or it won't.
I'm oblivious to the pattern or the cycle, and I'm not making anything happen.
It's your big opportunity whether you do anything, or know anything, or not.
We let one chance after another go by without noticing anything at all.
You get wonderful sleep when you don't know what's going on.
Destiny did not happen, I guess things just go on.
I don't believe in luck, there's just ups and downs without us dong a thing.
If I keep forgetting what's going to happen, I will miss out.

So, happy doomsday to you all. (I think it's just wishful thinking.)
