I do think this type of stuff is kind of interesting (mostly the ancient cultures/mythology parts), that said I dont think people should take it to heart. Because really, if this does go down....there's nothing you can do anyways

true story.
one of my fellow branch managers had a couple come into his branch and apply for a loan.
he's half way thru the application when the woman pipes up and asks if they get the loan, if they woudl have to continue paying after 2012.
he's confused and sez...uhh YA? why?
well, they heard that in 2012 according to the mayan calendar and whatever else that the world is supposed to turn upside down and not have any more gravity, and/or the world will end.
so................................................ .............he turned them down. shidiots.

It's also a fallacy that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012. It just begins another cycle.

Does our time keeping end in December? Of course not, we just get another January.

In fact the cycle that ends in 2012 is only one of 9 different time increment cycles (kinda like how we split things up into hours, days, weeks, months, years ourselves), the fifth I believe (don't quote me).

The whole 2012 conspiracy has so much bad information passed around about it. Bad history, bad spirituality, bad astronomy, bad science.

I believe (again don't quote me) that this cycle indicates the time in which our planet (due to our solar system or something?) will be aligned with the axis of the galaxy. Of course the galaxy is disk shaped and everything is more or less aligned, but there is some motion back and forth from the true center.

And of course, the Mayan culture had nothing to do with Planet X or Nibiru. That's a Sumerian thing. People just try to find things they can link together as usual. Like people going through Nostradamus quotes to find something that could seem like some historical event.

There's many videos out there debunking the many myths. Some are actually quite interesting. I started reading up a lot about it a few years ago because I knew a girl who was obsessed with it and I was trying to find the real stories behind the Mayan calendar as well as the truths about the science and the astronomy.

2012 in brief:

The Mayan civilization of Central America was and is the most advanced in relation to time-science knowledge. Their main calendar is the most accurate on the planet. It has never erred. The Mayan fifth world finished in 1987. The sixth world starts in 2012. So we are currently "between worlds"

1. Humanity and Planet Earth are currently going through a huge change or shift in consciousness and reality perception.

2. The Mayan civilization of Central America was and is the most advanced in relation to time-science knowledge. Their main calendar is the most accurate on the planet. It has never erred. They actually have 22 calendars in total, covering the many timing cycles in the Universe and Solar System. Some of these calendars are yet to be revealed.

3. The Mayan fifth world finished in 1987. The sixth world starts in 2012. So we are currently "between worlds". This time is called the "Apocalypse" or revealing. This means the real truth will be revealed. It is also the time for us to work through "our stuff" individually and collectively.

4. The Mayan sixth world is actually blank. This means it is up to us, as co-creators, to start creating the new world and civilization we want now.

5. The Mayans also say that by 2012

we will have gone beyond technology as we know it.
we will have gone beyond time and money.
we will have entered the fifth dimension after passing through the fourth dimension
Planet Earth and the Solar System will come into galactic synchronization with the rest of the Universe.
Our DNA will be "upgraded" (or reprogrammed) from the centre of our galaxy. (Hunab Ku)
Everybody on this planet is mutating. Some are more conscious of it than others. But everyone is doing it.

6. In 2012 the plane of our Solar System will line up exactly with the plane of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. This cycle has taken 26,000 years to complete. Virgil Armstrong also says that two other galaxies will line up with ours at the same time. A cosmic event!

7. Time is speeding up (or collapsing). For thousands of years the Schumann Resonance or pulse (heartbeat) of Earth has been 7.83 cycles per second, The military have used this as a very reliable reference. However, since 1980 this resonance has been slowly rising. It is now over 12 cycles per second! This means there is the equivalent of less than 16 hours per day instead of the old 24 hours.

8. During the Apocalypse or the time "between worlds" many people will be going through many personal changes. The changes will be many and varied. It is all part of what we came here to learn or experience. Examples of change could be- relationships coming to an end, change of residence or location, change of job or work, shift in attitude or thinking etc."



The prophecy calls us to reconsider what it means to be a human being in the broader context of the whole of nature, to rethink our relationship with it, and to acquire a new understanding of the meaning and purpose of life.

In the first quarter of 2001, the Sun switched magnetic poles. This occurs every eleven years. Prior to this the Sun's north magnetic pole was at the north rotational pole. Now the Sun's north magnetic pole is at its south pole. Since opposite poles attract, the magnetic poles of the Earth and Sun are now at their most stable.

Just about the time of 2012 Winter Solstice, the Sun's poles will switch back. During this switch there will be a tendency for the Sun's magnetic field to pull the Earth's field with it.

If the Earth's magnetic poles switch, this would put stress on the planet aggravating earthquakes and volcanoes, not to mention destruction of the electrical power distribution grid.

Oh My God! These propehcies must be true.
I mean, to make such specific predictions such as "durring a 25 year span a lot of people will end relationships, move, change jobs, or change their minds on something".

Holy crap, since 1987 I've moved to Calgary,
Had like 10 different jobs,
had about a dozen girlfriends,
and I used to like harley's, now I think they're stupid.
These predictions are like crazy accurate!

THE END IS HERE!

Is this Planet X the cause for global warming? Or is it global changing now? They keep changing it so it fits their theory.

Not exactly, I was there. She was pretty obsessed I want to calm her (maybe calm is the wrong word, she wasn't panicky) and also started getting pretty curious myself.

I'll dig up some links and post them later today. Just stopping in right now.

I have heard a lot of that stuff, but again, most of it is exaggerated or taken WAY out of context. Like I said, it's a lot like people looking at Nostradamous' ramblings (or the Book of Revelation for that matter) and saying, 'Hey this sounds like WW2' and 'Hey, this could possibly be talking about nuclear war.' Neither of those sources really say things like that and neither did the Mayans.

I saw a scholar on Mayan culture speaking and he kept mentioning that it was sad everyone got swept up in this one 2012 bullplop because it was totally misinforming people of the Mayan culture and that they had a lot of really interesting REAL things to study.

As we get closer to 2012 you will see a tidal wave of people jumping on the bandwagon on either the end of the world side or the new beginning side. I am a 2012 believer, I will come right out and admit that. I am not entirely sold on the cataclysm or pole shift theory and I think planet x is bunk. But there is a major shift in consciousness rapidly occurring on this planet and we are seeing it manifest in a number of ways.

The rapid increase in technology (understatement of the century), the seemingly imminent collapse of our world financial system, our increasing awareness of interconnectedness through globalization and the internet, environmental changes, peak oil etc.

The mayans were not the only one to predict these times of change. The hopi and other idigenous tribes who were more connected with the earth, spirit and the cosmos foretold of the end of this age and the shift to a new radically different one.

Quantum physicists are telling us what ancient spiritual teachings have been saying for centuries. We are all connected, everything material and immaterial is all connected through energy at the subatomic level. We quite literally co-create the world we live in through our thoughts, beliefs and actions.

The me first, egoic world our collective consciousness has created is crumbling. If we want to survive as a species past the next 100 years we are gonna have to come to the realization that we're all in this together. Some systems theorists hypothesize that a species comes to a point where they come to the brink of extinction and they either evolve or die. That's where we are right now. Take a long hard look at the world and don't kid yourself. There is something major happening on this planet right now. There is a shift in consciousness occuring and it's a chance for us to create a better world or to kill ourselves. It's our choice. It's claimed that the calendar ends in 2012 not because the world ends but because that's the point when the rest was up to us to create for oursleves and it could go any way after that.

Either all that, or I'm crazy. But the 2012 crowd will be growing either way leading up to that day...
