As the glorious David Bowie sang, “We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot. Five years, that’s all we’ve got.”

Indeed, if you believe in the 2012 Mayan prophecy, exactly five years from today the current cycle of our world is said to come to an end according to the 5,125 year Creation Cycle and the 26,000 year Grand Cycle, otherwise known as the Precession of the Equinoxes. The coming end date of December 21, 2012 is also written as 13.0.0.0.0. in Mayan long count notation.

Cheers to a great renewal in the “reincarnation” of the world! Alas, all ends are a beginning.

The Conference on Proof of the Afterlife will take place in late January at Fort Mason in San Francisco, itself a reincarnated space so to speak – once industrial maritime waterfront, now chic space for an organic restaurant, gorgeous performance spaces for the arts, and the home of the ultra intellectual Long Now Foundation.

The event is brought to us by the Forever Family Foundation, a non-profit, non-sectarian organization that supports the premise that life does not end with physical death. The groundbreaking conference that will bring together world renowned scientists, medical doctors, researchers, and mediums with a goal of educating the general public.

For all the details, including how to purchase tickets for the event, read the San Francisco Sentinel’s article about the conference, here.
