Better than Camping's Doomsday

I stumbled upon this extremely interesting thread in the civilized version of /x/: sanctuary.prelucid.com/?no=11243#replybox
There, a group of people talk about how could be the so awaited 2012 thing.
The idea of the Veil that separated the Astral Plane from our world, and that all kind of creatures can escape and we will have to combat them it's too good (if you want to shake down the dust of boredom and normality from your body) to be truth. But, if the nasty things humans created with their thoughts, why not the good things humans also created with their minds? If such scenario becomes true, the possibilities would be endless.
However, deep inside myself, I know the terrifying truth, nothing will happen.

By that description... it sounds almost like the Astral Plane is the Collective Unconscious, with all our archetypes and characters existing out there. Although, if every being ever imagined came into existence... I don't think the world could survive, no matter how many "good" entities we create. Cthulhu is kinda a game-ender.

At least, it would be fun. I prefer to die by a Mi-go than by a lousy earthquake.

Well the astral is in all seriousness VAST, is kind of in layers, and goes very deep. Deeper than most people know. The astral isn't the only plane out there, but it's the easiest to get to and can be used to help you get to other planes.

The astral is what many native tribes refer to as the spirit world.

Most of what is in the astral isn't from various fiction IE books, movies, games. The vast majority of things in the astral is mostly spirits(human and nonhuman), legendary or mythical creatures, the occasional wandering demon type, a few angelic types, and A LOT of low end things that are always looking for energy to feed off of.

In the deeper, or further depending on your POV, into the astral you go you will find that certain ideas and concepts are given form by the very angles of the multiverse. These tend to very nonhuman in appearance, but are still relate able to a degree, however you will only see these things on a VERY rare occasion like certain astronomical and astrological events.

AS far as the Galactic Alignment on December 21, 2012 @ 6:32pm EST causing the veil between the physical and the astral the cease to exist and cause the two planes to merge like they used to be a very very very long time ago would be FULL OF WIN, however I wouldn't bet the farm on that happening.

Still it would be interesting to see how the world would react to all the mythical creatures and the return of magic into the world.
