We're right on course for the poistbsliiy of a very literal Armageddon at this point, as evidenced by Israel and Hamas, and more joining the fray. Other than that, apocalypse means change, even epic change, but not necessarily end of days, which is an interpretation given us by Christianity, God bless us everyone.However, I have, partly because I am a caregiver who lives in a rather liminal reality, been, for some time, familiarizing myself with the Tibetan Book of the Dead (The Great Liberation through Hearing in the Bardo). The end of humanity, if it were to occur, is, to my mind, fine and normal, as it were. Hinduism even has a word for it, pralaya, which is dissolution. It seems evident to me that humanity itself needs a good dose of disillusionment so that our ego-driven, ignorant view of existence can be altered before we alter ourselves into extinction.
