2012...what are your views?

Question

Do you think in 2012 there will be the end of civilization, or humanity will be elevated to a higher level, or a new human species will evolve, or some other major catastrophe will occur? Or life will go normal as always? What do you think?

Answer 1

Why should anything catastrophic happen in 2012.

The various doomsayers have convolved several different myths into a silly story that is scaring people unnecessarily.

Planet X/Nibiru does not exist (trust me on this, we'd have seen it by now with the various infrared space telescopes)

Evolution doesn;t happen overnight - so NO we will not evolve suddenly into something else.

The end of the precession cycle is just the start of the next one.

as for predicted pole shifts...

The magnetic poles move all the time.

There is a geologic record that shows it has happened many times in our past but not at regular intervals. Time between reversals can be 10000 yrs or a million years.

However - we know that the magnetic field does not collapse in the process - if it did, there would be major extinctions that correlate with the geologic record for pole reversals - there is no correlation.

The latest hypothesis is that the Earth's magnetic field gets chaotic, with lots of north and south poles - so we still have a magnetic field, but compasses will be useless. And then it straightens itself back out, but with north and south reverse.

This is actually similar to what the sun does - but the sun does it on a regular 11 year cycle.

As for when it will happen - those people that observe the magnetic field think it will go through its chaotic thing and reverse some time soon based on how it is currently behaving, but that is a hypothesis waiting for the event to occur to be tested, and the exact date certainly is not known.

Now for the rotational axis and its shift:

The axis of the earth does wobble on several known timescales. These wobbles are known as the Milankovic cycles.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovic_...

Basically the axis of the earth’s rotation does not always point to Polaris (the Pole Star); and we are not always inclined at 23.5 deg. So the poles do move relative to the plane of the earth’s orbit around the sun, and relative to the stars – but the shifts are minor.

Stop worrying and get on with your life...

Answer 2

I believe there will be great changes.  I have been tracking the Mayan Calendar for over a year now and it doesn't miss a beat.  Heck, they even predicted a condition that will collapse the world monetary system (paper money),  in this period, and it's right on schedule.



Richard Shafsky, a man counseled by a Maya shaman priest, was told the Mayan Calendars were created using information about the cosmos, that is stored in some ancient Crystal Skulls.  He added, this information may be useful in assisting humanity in preparation for the difficult times ahead and for the coming New Age.



I've heard that the true ancient Crystal Skull's can not be duplicated even with today's highest technology. This anomaly points to the existence of highly advanced beings from a time before the Great Maya Civilization. The skulls seem to be a type of Time Capsule / Computer / Data Base (mass information stored in quartz crystal).

The Mayan Calendars end at the completion of their cycle; much like our calendar ends at the end of the solar year cycle.  Those things which the Maya predicted and their time has come to pass (black holes, eclipses, etc.) have been surprisingly right on. The source of their knowledge of the cosmos is unknown, but thought to be "not of this world". There is no "End of the World" Maya prophecy; Rather, they predict an "End of the World as we know it". Great changes are expected to happen, including more natural disasters followed by a change in consciousness and a time of peace.

  

Here is a summary of my research into the Mayan Calendars and their predictions for the time leading to Dec. 21, 2012.

--------------------------



The following cycles are most relevant to what may occur in 2012. There is the 25,625 year "Galactic Day" and the 5,125 year "Long Count"(Great Cycle). Both of these are set to END and RESTART on the Winter Solstice of 2012 (11:00 UST Dec. 21, 2012):



Let's start with the "Galactic Day". As we travel around the Milky Way galaxy, it is my understanding that we do not remain at a constant distance nor at the same orientation in relation to the black hole at its center;  a black hole the Maya refer to as the supreme creator, "HUNAB KU". Instead, we move closer and further from this black hole.  As we move in closer, we simultaneously become aligned  with the Milky Way's equator or "The Tree of Life" as the Maya call it.  Upon doing so, we may become exposed to "HUNAB KU's" opposing magnetic forces which would cause our Sun to eject intense solar flares and Earth to experience a magnetic pole reversal (Pole Shift).  In the years that we have been furthest away from ,"HUNAB KU", we have been dense low vibrating energy and have been experiencing our dark spiritual years: These years have been part of the "Galactic Night".  As we move closer, we become higher vibrating energy and spiritually enlightened beings: These years pertain to the "Galactic Day". We are currently in transition from Night to Day. The complete cycle takes 25,625 years; approximately the same as what modern science has calculated and named "The Precession Of The Equinox Cycle".

The "Long Count" evenly divides the "Galactic Day" into five equal parts (25,625 years / 5 = 5,125 years). It is my understanding that this cycle also coincides with a natural rhythmic beat that is derived from the black hole at the center of the galaxy in the form of an energy pulse. This energy pulse presumably has multiple effects on us and our surroundings. It not only helps us to become enlightened beings for twenty years, but can reek havoc on Earth by creating larger solar flares which can bring drought, famine, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and tsunamis. Twenty years prior to this event, in a period the Maya refer to as "The Time of No-Time",  mild energy spurts, from "HUNAB KU",  create a shift in consciousness; from left-brain thinking to right-brain thinking (from logical to intuitive). This shift can be experienced all at once or gradually at first moving exponentially as we approach the end of the cycle.

There is one more Mayan Calendar I could share with you called "The Nine Underworlds". It is one of the more recently rediscovered calendars and may be the most important one, in so far as the 2012 prophecies are concerned.  It is a calendar that has recorded the state of consciousness from the beginning of time (The Big Bang) to Dec. 21, 2012.  At which time, we will have supposedly consciously evolved to completeness to become co-creators with "HUNAB-KU":  It maps out "creation" if you will.   Humans will be exposed to a cosmic energy that will facilitate enlightenment. In this state of higher consciousness, we will recognize that all matter, plant, animal, mineral are bound as one. This realization will mark the end of wars.

Answer 3

I think just as much will happen to human civilization that happened on January 1, 2000. In other words, nothing.

Answer 4

Nopee.

Have you read anything about 2012 specifically in Revelation?

Answer 5

It is the end of the Mayan Calendar and corresponds to a time whem our solar system will have completed a galactic orbit.  People have been predicting the end of civilization ever since the beginning of civilization.  This is just another one of those predictions.  Mankind will eventually become extinct, but it will take more than the calendar of a lost civilization to do it.

Answer 6

I dont think it will be the end ... But something terribly bad might happpen 12/21/12.  Well we'll just have to see what happens ... enjoy ur life while yew can!!! lol

Answer 7

No but one should always live there life and take nothing for

granted ..don't hold grudges and don't live your life in quiet

desperation.  We are all going to DIE someday and it

probably be in bed as this is the NORM..so just live for today

By the way... we are the new human species and the new

species is slowly out growing this planet (9 billion population soon:( and as a world we are dying for lack of love and

compassion.  5,000,000 children die world wide of simple starvation.  Many more die from neglect and disease. What

do you think about humanity?

Answer 8

The very idea that someone can predict the future is preposterous. If Nostradamus really could predict the future, why don't we see things BEFORE they happen. A lot of bad things could have been stopped if they were REAL predictions. However, you can twist anything to fit after the fact.

As for the Mayans, that's when they stopped making their calendar. They based it on "great cycles" which we now call precession cycles (Earth's wobble). A 26,000 year precession cycle will end in or near 2012. What they did had nothing to do with the world ending. It just showed they had a very good understanding of astronomy.

A new species cannot evolve in 4000 years, much less 4.

As for disasters, I will turn 30 that year, so that, in its own way, will be a small disaster.

Stop worrying about tomorrow. You might get hit by a car and then 2012 won't even be a concern. Live for today to serve your fellow man.

Answer 9

I think it WILL happen! Both the Mayans and Nostradamus (a prophet from the 1500s who predicted World Wars I and II, 9/11, the death of Princess Diana, and many more) predicted it. Nostradamus said that a comet will block the sun from Earth for 7 nights and after that there will be a world war for many years.
