well if the attention of the masses wasnt disregarded by assumptions in which anything that has to do with 2012 is part of a cult and THE END OF THE WORLD then maybe the masses would give their attention?

Well there is a difference between sharing and "trying to get the attention of the masses"... I see nothing wrong with an Author or Poet reading and sharing his work in a live setting - it is intimate and allows for dialog. And I don't see anything wrong with self-promotion... its necessary in our media saturated world!

Well, come on now. Don't you think your comment is a little bit out of balance? I can personally guarantee you DP doesn't think that he is god and he is certainly not trying to start a cult! Why are you so distraught and making personal attacks? Let's discuss the ideas. Besides, isn't it a tradition - especially during an election year - for people to express how they want the world to be? At least he's using a book and not guns to spread his ideas!

To me, Daniel Pinchbeck serves as an "idea connector". He has intorduced me to so many different people and their works, as well as information pertaining to almost everything I'm interested in. He is nothing more than a man trying to make sense of this world. Reality is paradoxical by nature, so of course he contradicts himself. He never pretends to have all the answers, just ideas and speculation.

boring.. just buy the book and read it.. why in a club??

People chill out on DP, yes he does contradict himself sometimes, yes psychs have fried him somewhat but at least he stands for something, and has the heart and guts to work towards it.

i just finished the book, and although it was interesting in its own way i really was not impressed with it that much. I think DP is a fake, a weasel, a selfish individual who has had his brain warped by so much use psychedelics in his life. DP cant stick to one thing. any drug using society has the answers to the world, to him. he says how he wants the world to be and calls it a prophecy to serve his own selfish purpose. its like he's trying to start a cult, where he is god. he's an idiot.

I think his book should speak what it has to say. and he should be able to say what he has to. A true philosopher should not have to read his own text to get the attention of the masses.
