The End  
The way that you perceive the End of the World (or of the Universe)
reveals something about how you live. It will subtly influence your
present. 
Many End Times stories are floating around the mental plane like tall,
gray-bottomed clouds. We have the Ascension, the Second Coming, the Big
Crunch, the Big Chill, and other creative Tales of the Unknown. 
Completion 
Most of these stories assume that the universe must *complete some sort of
cycle*. We start with the Big Bang (or whatever version of creation you
prefer) and try to predict the End using the logic inherent in that
particular story. 
Completion, however, may be something that humans invented. For instance,
is a life complete when one dies? Some say Yes, others say No. Does a year
end on December 31, or on the day before the Spring Equinox or Yom Kippur?
These divisions are man-made. 
If we hear the musical scale "Do-Re-Me-Fa-So-La-Ti . . .," we *need* to
hear the complete octave. Where's the "Do"? We have this compulsion,
because completion signifies order, and order makes direction - the
"what's next?" - more clear (like a Twelve Step Plan). The First
Miraculodynamic Axiom, however, states something different: 
"There is nowhere to go and nothing to do, but we go there and do it
anyway."
Direction springs spontaneously from the Eternal Now, from either order
*or* chaos. The axiom further implies that HERE is our destination, the
end of all direction. *Completion already IS*; we just *think* that it's
something else. (When feeling miserable, no one wants to hear "completion
IS.")
Alternative Stories
For theists, Creation was an act of divine intervention. No one can guess
why God chose that particular moment to do the deed. Like the Beginning,
the End could be an act of divine intervention, as well.
What about this: One day, the Creator yawns. He looks at the universe,
scratches His metascalp and says, "Well, that's enough." Poof! Without
notice, the universe abruptly ends. No more no more, just like that. 
The idea of the universe "just ending" is intriguing. You must focus your
attention on the moment instead of on some far off time that doesn't
affect you existentially. 
The universe is like a far flung dream; we are its living fabric. You
never know, however, when the dreamer will awaken.
