What Will Happen In 2012

[Kane]

The year 2012 is considered by many to be a great turning point in human history;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012

" * December 21 - End of the great cycle of the Maya calendar's Long Count and a 26,000 year planetary cycle in the Aztec calendar, and thus the alleged end of our world (the end of the cycle is dated December 22 or December 23 by some calculations).
* According to the 1997 book The Bible Code the world will end due to a collision with a meteor, asteroid or comet.
* Interpreted by millennialists as a time when there will be an evolutionary change in human consciousness brought about by a series of world changing events or revelations. Following this period of upheaval they believe we will begin a new 1,000 year cycle in which peace, enlightenment and our environment take priority.
* The Olduvai cliff will begin and permanent blackouts will occur worldwide, according to "The Peak of World Oil Production and the Road To The Olduvai Gorge" by Richard C. Duncan.
* Terence McKenna's Novelty Theory claims that time is a fractal wave of increasing novelty that ends abruptly in 2012.
* Tibetan Monks specialising in remote viewing predict that divine extra-terrestrials will intervene at a point where the world's governments are about to deploy weapons of mass destruction. Adding to this, the Tibetan Monks say that the world is not ready to be destroyed and that our Earth is blessed and being saved continuously from all kinds of hazards that Mankind is not even aware of.

Will the world end in 2012 or will something out of the ordinary change? Although this maybe mere superstition considering many people have a feeling about this year, ya never know .

 

[OUMoose]

Ask me that question 7 years from today.

 

[JPR]

2012 will be a great turning point in my life. I'll be 50!

 

[shesulsa]

And the world was supposed to end in 2000 as well.

 

[BlueDragon1981]

My opinion...could end any time...could not end...but ya know we won't know when it ends because we won't be here.

 

[mrhnau]

And the world was supposed to end in 2000 as well.

good point.. there have always been doom sayers in history. The way I look at it, you live your life every day the way you would want to be remembered... If the world were to end tommorow or in 1000 years, I'd want to live tommorow the same way..

Here is a question... if you knew the world would end next week, how would you change your next weeks plans?

The future ain't what it used to be.

I'd probably go into hiding with my family, since there will be a lot of stoopid fools out drinking, carousing, breaking the law just so they can say they did before they died.

I'd make cookies with the kids, play endlessly with them, spend loads of time with my husband, discuss spirituality and the actions of others with my family and friends ... pretty much what I do right now.

No, I wouldn't go bungee-jumping or cliff-diving or parasailing because if everyone knew the world was going to end, everyone else would be doing those things and ... well, I don't think of life as a list of things to do, I think of it as a chance to be, to enhance my soul and maybe help others.

Hahahaha you beat me to it!

However, I was intriqued at the whole theory about Planet X and that it was going to swing by Earth and cause all kinds of planetary problems, as it's eliptical orbit would have it pass earth only once every several thousand years. Then later the whole thing was pretty much stifled by NASA as unfounded. This was three or four years ago.

Fast forward to about 3 weeks ago... Recently they have found a 10th planet in our solar system, Planet X (Xena), it is beyond Pluto and larger in mass than Pluto, but considerably smaller than earth. I found all of this even more intriquing. That being said, I don't think the new found planet means anything, but who knows. I don't know if they have determined it's orbit and or direction of movement yet, either.

It is all interesting and great food for thought, but mostly meaningless.

Many people have "a feeling" about Jesus, the Messiah, the number 13, black cats, alchemy, pentagrams, telekinesis, telepathy, diving rods, miracles, ghosts, witches, vampires and spoon bending.

2012 will be a year like any other, and if anything out of the ordinary will happen, it will have a REASONABLE EXPLANATION.

I'd probably go into hiding with my family, since there will be a lot of stoopid fools out drinking, carousing, breaking the law just so they can say they did before they died.

Sadly, I agree. Going into hiding and enjoying your last time with your family would be the wise thing as society would totally break down. Unless there was hope of some way to stop the End that one could help with, this'd be the best thing to do for us family folk.

Single folk should party like it's 1999.

Tibetan Monks specialising in remote viewing predict that divine extra-terrestrials will intervene at a point where the world's governments are about to deploy weapons of mass destruction. Adding to this, the Tibetan Monks say that the world is not ready to be destroyed and that our Earth is blessed and being saved continuously from all kinds of hazards that Mankind is not even aware of.

This is messed up on so many levels I don't even know where to begin.

That being said, I don't buy into numerology and astrology. It has about as much scientific validity (and we are talking about the prediction of empirical events in psychophysical reality here) as intelligent design, IMO.

Laterz.

HAHAHA You just have to have *FAITH*

Here is a question... if you knew the world would end next week, how would you change your next weeks plans? MrH

Prior to my children being born, I would have done the happy dance. Now it is a terrifying thought; my children being robbed of their chance to be happy and enjoy long lives.

I'm absolutely certain I would spend every minute with them, though at 3 yrs old there would be no way or reason to burden them with this armaggedon. I would simply have as much fun with them as I could.

... If I didn't have children (and wasn't so terribly honorable, loyal, and decent) I would immediately go see my dream girl and convince her that, under the circumstances, she should grant me one week of exquisite ecstacy.

oh the fantasies already run rampant. If all it takes is a little Apocalypse to get things going I say Bring It On!

 

[heretic888]

HAHAHA You just have to have *FAITH*

I do have faith. Lots of it, actually. Just not in bovine feces.

Laterz.

 

[heretic888]

Although, according to an astrophysicist that was on the Colbert Report the other night, an asteroid is targetted to hit Earth (possibly bouncing harmlessly off our atmosphere and possibly not) in the year 2029.

Yikes.

 

[Solidman82]

I find it a little interesting that all of these Nostradamusesque prophecies chose that day for whatever reason out of nowhere.

 

[Cryozombie]

I think that I will be elevated to the status of god incarnate on Dec 20th, 2012, which is why the world is gonna end on the 22nd.

From the Mayan calendar is will be the ending of the fifth (5th) age and then the beginning of the sixth (6th) age. All the ages come with change, so the ending of the world is relative in that it is an ending as one knows it and it is new and beginning a new cycle.

This is similiar to the Death card in that Tarot cards, which also means the ending of something (* not necessarily life *) and if reversed the beginning of something (* which could be birth or the addition of a child *)

So, I do not expect the world to end and not exist, but I do expect that according to the aproximately 60,000 year calendar of the Mayans (* btw, they did not need a leap year *), there will be an ending of one cycle and the beginning of the next.

Yeah, but what a day the 21st will be! ... If I swear my loyalty now can I put in an advance order for an 18 yr old petite brunette in a Catholic school girl uniform?
