In her book Catastrophobia: The Truth Behind Earth Changes, Barbara Hand Clow examines legendary cataclysms and the fear they have instilled in our collective consciousness. Scientific data reveals a great cataclysm occurred only 11,500 years ago, which geology calls the Late Pleistocene Extinctions and theologians call the Flood or the Fall. According to Clow, this collective trauma has not been processed, afflicting our species with an intense phobia of catastrophes. Crippled by fear of an impending disaster, people do not care for the Earth and its inhabitants. Moreover, we project our collective fears, creating a coming apocalypse as a self-fulfilling prophecy. This occurs, because consciousness creates the material world.
The disaster, however, already happened! It is the past, not the future. Scientifically speaking, although there are periodic asteroid impacts and severe climate changes, an event as great as the Cataclysm of 9500 B.C. occurs about every 30 million years in our solar system. Instead of the world ending in December 2012, Catastrophobia explores the probability that the stage is set for a major evolutionary breakthrough -- a great spiritual and intellectual awakening. Clow asserts, "We are a wounded species on the verge of recovery, and we're poised to undertake the brave journey back to our previous brilliance."
