In my opinion, the entire basis of McKenna's theory, the very premise on which the 64 day cycles were predicated, led inexorably to the 2012 date
being the singularity. He quite adamantly asserted this many times. That did not happen as described within any context McKenna or others who embraced
his theory expounded upon. Thus, the entire theory unravels. TimeWave has been debunked quite satisfactorily by this topic and the failure of the date
to produce anything in my opinion.
Saying that the underlying premise is true without any evidence of that premise being the reality (because the basis of such evidence
was the
64 day cycles and resonant events leading toward the singularity
on the prescribed date, not some future, unknowable point in time,) would be
an example of moving the goal posts and cognitive dissonance on my part in my view.
Is it possible that something
like TW is true and somehow underpins the nature of time and that McKenna perceived some facet thereof, just
imprecisely? Perhaps. I am open to that possibility. However, that moves into amorphous, pliable territory that we can easily shape into anything we
want without the ability to prove or test it, and thus believing that it is or must be the reality because of an unwillingness to acknowledge the
failure of McKenna's theory as described by him is, for me, a self deluding trap I am not inclined to fall into.
You have the right to your beliefs however, of course, and I respect them.
Peace.
