Anyone Believe In The 2012 Thing?

You mean the "The Mayans" thing? ...

Or... "The Elections" thing? :rolleyes:

They're BOTH pretty scary!

The day after elections one party will believe the world haa come to an end. The Mayans will have been half right.

good question. no answers.
it's all speculation and unless you have extraordinary information that is true and not hallucination then take action. could the mayans run out of stone on their calendar and it ended where it ended cuz it had to end somewhere? or is this some event horizon crossing that ushers in a new period?
remember year 2000?
what can you do about it?
if you could run, where would you go? for how long?
do you believe in reincarnation? this could be a phase change.
if you're more into physicality and this is all we have -
my idea is an airship. and it will have hydrogen.

I think it's hype. Or at least I hope so, lol.

Jonathan - First off, Mayans did not record or recognize time in the same fashion we do - even the archaeologists who have been studying that culture for decades, and even present surviving Mayans, have no clue what the correct ending date of that calendar is. Endings in Mayan time cycles consists of cycles of energy, so the only thing that is ending is a long-term energy cycle....."cycle" - which means a new cycle will be starting just as we are now into the second or third year of our own sun cycle 24. The galactic alignment spoken of also happens but very infrequently. The arms of the galactic disk do not always run in a stringent line - they wave a little as they rotate around the center core, either rising or dipping a tad. All a galactic alignment means is that all the arms align in a straight line across that if you drew a line through the center of the galaxy and extended it out, it would go through the center of all the galaxy arms, too. There are theories about cosmic winds being a problem during such an alignment but earth survived other alignments and nothing noticeable has been seen by any paleobiologists or paleogeologists. As far as the predicted planetary alignment.....I don't know anything about it. Never looked into it, but the planets have aligned in many different alignments before and will continue to do so, so I just am not interested enough to actually study it.

Most of the current voova over 2012 was marketing, just like the SECRET, was mostly just a marketing ploy to sell some very ancient concepts (the possible validity of which I am not going to discuss here). There's been one cult religion leader - and I can't remember who the hang he is, that is probably making beaucoup bucks purporting that his followers be ready for an "ascension" of sorts. I knew one of the followers and I can see where the guy got his little charts of energies, etc. from Mayan concepts (even if he just made them up, I can see where he got the premises from Mayan idiologies).

As far as prophesying what is going to happen on the last day of that calendar, it seems someone would be more concerned about finding out exactly what day that calendar actually ends on before anything else. Cart, horse, ya know? LMAO.

actually the real date was dec 21 2011. I guess some ppl decided to mess around with the date just because 2012 sounds scarier.

According to archaeological experts on the Maya, even the Maya didn't believe it. It's some nonsense cooked up by brain-fried hippies who misinterpreted some stuff while high on peyote or something.

At most I believe it is metaphorically true, otherwise I believe that it is just a false prophecy.

I predict that 153,000 people will die on 21 December 2012.

Maybe 144,000 of those are the faithful headed towards heaven. The rest of them - the 9,000 - might be headed to hell or Planet X.

The rest of us will likely wake up with a hangover thinking the world has ended

The end of one epoch and the start of the other have always been accompanied with a lot of scary stories, but they never come true. Relax.

I don't believe it. End of the world was predicting few times before and nothing happened. The closest we came to an "end" was the whole Y2K when we went from 1999 to 2000 lool

End of forum.... LOL

Actually...people have been predicting the end of the World, almost since the World began...
(in theological terms, of course)

The Mayan Calendar was designed to follow the astral movements of the heavenly bodies and was vastly complex and more accurate than our current calendar systems. Mayans were star gazers because they believed the stars were the gods so the majority of their efforts was spent studying the skies.

Since the calendar is designed based off the movements of the celestial bodies the calendar comes to and end when the Galactic Alignment occurs in 2012. The mayans had a series of calendars, the two most famous called the short count and the long count. Basically 13 short count rotations of their calendar make up the long count rotation at which time the cycle starts over. Mayan belief was that everytime the short count calendar ends it was deemed to be the "end of an age".

One short count "end of an age" example occurred several thousand years ago and corresponded with a flash frost that effected primarily Peru and devastated crops. This phenomenon was however isolated only to the area surrounding Peru due to changing weather systems.

So the belief of Mayans are that Dec. 23 2012 is going to be the end of an era and the start of something new, whether that's human consciousness, apocolypse or whatever was never specifically prophesized by the Mayans.

So do I believe in the prophecy? Well yes I do believe we will see a galactic alignment which is a phenomenon that will not be seen for generations to come. However beyond that there really is no prophecy set forth by the Mayans and I'd be very unlikely to believe a doomsday prophecy that was predicted by a group of people that did not have access to a wheel and used logs to roll large stone construction materials to build their pyramids.

I always try to live my life like the world's gonna end tomorrow...

I don't believe it at all.

This is a complete hoax. the calendar only tells the end of a cycle not the world. on December 22 is the start of the space cycle so what's there to be afraid of.
