The Mayan prophecy of 2012: we have a choice

Supurb post, Jan!
I couldn't agree more.

All I'm going to say is Y2K

The other notion: - the Mayans were wrong. They blew it entirely, their whole world ended a long time before their calendar. The end.

Years ago, I took Astronomy for the fun of it. It turned out to be a LOT of work and less fun. Like most people, its hard to fathom beyond the confines of Earth. East, West, North and South do not really exist. Everything is in degrees . I have a son who thinks that Earth pulls outside of orbit now and again. And, it may go back now and again.

This Teacher was so smart . On the first day of class, he drew a straight line on the chalk board and put an "X" almost at the end of the line. I will never forget what he said ""This is how long the world has existed (the larger portion of the line)...and this is how long Man has existed ( a tiny portion of the line). Then he states: "It is how we decide to live as a world community as to how long the human race as we know it will exist" but the earth, will remain."

Most people would just say "huh"? to most of this unfortunately. The world is made of "thinkers" and Plodders" I read. The plodders are not bad people, they just methodically live and work and maintain their own world without too much thinking about things beyond their world.

Ah, the thinkers. I am not sure we are a lucky lot. We probably have more worry and fear than we want to admit though we try very hard to be positive...it is a never ending challenge in this techno world where information is at our fingertips. The mind has to "filter" too much, scan too much, and weed out that which we aren't sure about, then try to adapt to what we learn and can apply. My husband is a plodder. Never missed a day of work, salt of the earth, rarely worries and has great compassion. But, in things we discuss here, he chooses not to think about. The "thinkers", esp abstract thinkers are burdened in a way.

btw, weren't the Mayans destroyed by the Spaniards? Seems like they were such an efficient society and yet, war did them in.

I feel sorry for anyone that believes this kind of thing. They are they same people who worry about special events being on Friday the 13th. Weak.

It will be just another day. Why wait another 2 years to make an important decision? If you feel your life needs a change, then make it now!

I don't understand the fascination with ancient societies that people think "had it all figured out" when we don't have a clue. The Mayans were advanced for their time, but were so primitive when it came to science and understanding the universe. To think they knew better than modern science or common sense is laughable. I don't mean to belittle them--they were people just like us, but they certainly lacked the knowledge that we have access to and have had time to comprehend.

Who's to say? But I guess we'll find out.

the world will get worse until the sheeple wake up and take action to prevent it from getting worse. 2012 will be a catalyst, which can be used for good or bad.

I've lived through too many of these things to give them any credence. My only interest in this nonsense is what absurd superstition will capture public attention in the inevitable year of 2013.

I hope the choice is ours to make, not the governments and corporations that control the institutions endowed with the power to make them.

I hope the choice is ours to make, not the governments and corporations that control the institutions endowed with the power to make them.

I hope the choice is ours to make, not the governments and corporations that control the institutions endowed with the power to make them.

and if you all want to have the transformative experience that 2012 will bring, which essentially is based on you.... you must detatch yourself from who you think you are and who society has modeled you to be, transcend the ego, sublimate the energy within, and unite with the true inner self that is not subject to the laws perpetuated and fixed by the delusions in our minds so that you can experience omniscience.......

Every day the world ends, and when the sun rises, we are gifted a new world, a world in which we can shape and influence.

As in physics, the world reacts to every action. Our energies must be put to good use, whether for peace, environmental issues ore even catastrophic events as in solar storms or meteors heading for a direct hit on Earth, as it has in the past.

For every action, a reaction.

Tomorrow, when you wake up, the world may seem the same----war, hunger, dishonest politicians, scam artists, financial crisis, unemployment. But the world is still churning ahead into the future.

And when you do wake up into this future, that will be your present, you have the power to make the future to what you want in the present that you are in.

They 'key' is knowing that we are all in this world together and that for mankind to survive, we must put in effort to live together despite our many differences.

Thanks for the thought inspiring post, jan

best choose not to believe anything you have not researched yourself then you will not be dissapointed..remember the spaceship arriving prophecy from the light people?

HUH!? The way the sun works is far from anyone's choice.

Great post Jan!

I love the discussion, even if it is not news, it is still thought provoking and entertaining.

I am not superstitious, so the year 2012 has no special meaning. However, I do believe that something has already begun to happen. Some have called it a raising of consciousness.

The exponential growth in technological ability has transformed the world. If we can survive the growing pains of the next century the world will be a fantastic place indeed, a world transformed and one we would be hard pressed to imagine.

Make no mistake, these times are particularly dangerous simply because of the technology. Technology coupled with religious superstition is the greatest threat. If we destroy ourselves the cause will be religious superstition. That is why I constantly speak out against religion, it is the most dangerous and destructive force on earth.

Nevertheless, all in all I am an optimist. I believe in my fellow human beings. I think we will be OK. I only hope I live a long time to see all the changes.

We are the authors of our future. We have free will and we have the choice, right now, to evolve. 2012 will be a time of great change. The shift is happening now. You choose your future everyday.

I'm all for your "change our lifestyle" view, but I guess I don't have enough faith in some of the Americans who are obsessed with materialism. For us to shift to a completely different paradigm in such a short amount of time is impossible. Perhaps in like another two or three hundred years or so (supposing the human species will live that long)...or after something so tragic happens, it shatters the world views of so many materialistic people.

I hope that humanity will change for the better, change happens slowly, but this world does need change. Materialism has gotten out of hand...Dubai is a great example

December 21st, 2012:

just another day

I always understood the 2012 prediction of change to be just that, change. Why does the prophecy have to be negative? Could change mean positive? And with all change, can it not be made to be either positive or negative? Is there not a positive and negative side to every choice?

Whether we try to lessen our impact as humans on the planet to help maintain a balance, a natural disaster can easily accomplish the "destruction of nature" much quicker (i.e. supervolcanoes, comets). Species and life have been wiped out on large masses before. Life has redeveloped to what it is now. In the long-term the cycle will occur again in either different or the same manner until the sun dies, explodes and destroys the planet. Will we survive as a species in another solar system or galaxy at that point in time? Is this the only universe? Why should we concern ourselves while no matter what we do as humans, nature and the cosmos will take their courses anyway?

2012 marks the end of the age of pisces and the start of the age of aquarius, 2012 the earth's consciousness will ascend and us humans will have a choice: either let us be enslaved and kept closed minded and primitive, or will we all take action and force a revolution of a higher-evolved society

(The Lost Book of Enki By Zecharias Sitchim ) will help you understand the 2012.

I so agree with you Jan, thanks for posting this

I believe what it all boils down to, it is the beginning of the "Age of Aquarius." So long to the age of materialism, so long to the fish symbols of christianity, so long to the age of "Pisces" the fish.

At the rate we're going, all of a then estimated population of over 7 billion people will be lucky to cross that date off their calendar. The way Mother Earth has responded with climate change, for example, may be enough proof to give this very intriguing theory serious consideration - whether we can do something or not. The real test will be the countdown over the next few years & how any major crisis will be handled. At least we've still got one more election!

Just another y2k

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Umm... actually, that's exactly what it is. Written in stone. The Mayan calendar...

sorry to be a smart ass. That just struck me funny.

Chowmein2012:

Glad to have amused you so much. And yes it is as a supporter of Al Gore, a far better man than most I have come across in my lifetime. And pertaining to your post, sounds like mumbo jumbo to me. What do you base it on?

2012 will not be the end of the world. Hopefully it will be the end of corporate capitalism running our civilization. It may most likely be the end of a certain way of life.

Man will not be able to predict when his end will come. It is beyond his pre-cognition.

Earths Hum

Scientists also know the Frequency Hum in the Earth is Rising. Our Earth Hum was a constant 7.8 Cycle frequency. we used that 7 cycle format for almost all communications since it is the Baseline.
In the Past few years, the Earth’s Hum is Changing. The Frequency is rising and has been recorded past 11 cycle format. Right now the Earth Raised about 4 solid cycles in frequency measurements.

Earths Poles Flipping

Scientists believe this raise in Frequency goes directly hand and hand with the Poles getting ready to flip. That’s right, Earths Magnetic Properties are changing. The North Side Will Soon Point South, and South Will point North. The Earth Will Flip 120 degrees. Think I’m Crazy? Read what the respected Denver Post Published.

Scientists around the world are aware of this situation. You can find this information in University Websites, Lecture Notes, and Throughout Books and Publications all over. Nasa Publishes about Polar Flipping occurring in Stars, planets, and Solar bodies. Evidence even shows us that Earths Poles have flipped in the past. The last great pole flip occurred intimately 780,000 years ago.

This is also a known Fact and BBC News Offers

So-far We Covered the Change of frequency Vibrations given off by the Earth, The Great Polar Flip, The Super Rare Earth Venus Alignment, and The Extremely Accurate Mayan Calendar. Now to go cover how they all fit.

Brain Frequency And Sine Waves

We know that Change in frequency affect the brains reception guidelines. In other words, If you use a frequency brain stimulation machine doctors can enhance, change, and alter a persons senses. If two frequencies are transmitted with a small gap between them, Like 400Hz and 410Hz The brain will even out the difference naturally make the brain produce a 3rd tone. This 3rd tone made by your brain is a pure Sine wave. The sine-wave will be a 10 Hz tone. Experimenting through the whole range of alpha and theta waves ( from 5 - 12 Hz) it was found that a combination of frequencies consistently caused a complete shift in consciousness. So when the Earths Frequencies finish their change, our senses and brain thought pattern will be seriously deformed. Our electrical body pulses that control every move your body makes, will adjust itself to the Earth.

did the mayans actually say it was going to end
or is this some doomsday prediction .the mayan calendar ends but that alone means nothing.
lets live and be positive about the future

But that's just it, they didn't predict an apocolypse where the world would end. That has been distorted. The world as we now know it regarding our current priorities may well end, hopefully ushering in a time when the materialism that led us away from cherishing our planet will be reversed. Some say it will be the alignment of the sun to the center of the galaxy and other catastrophes prior to it that may lead us to our epiphany. One can only hope. If we see it as an opportunity and not pass it up this time we can make it happen.

us humans is smart. the world is going to end in 2012. we was right about y2k also.

lol. i can't believe people think the world will end

the question really is: "fate or free will?"

as recently as a few weeks ago i used to be really interested in the mayan calendar, but i gotta admit, all this 2012 apocalypse mumbo jumbo is really wearing me thin. i'm sick of that bullshit

The Mayans already had their doomsday. December 21, 2012 is just going to be a day with not much sunlight and probably snow.

Now if the big asteroid came barreling in - that would be different.

I hope Your right Jan. If not, were toast! You know the People in the Dark Ages had no idea that they were living in the Dark Ages.

It just means there will be a wide choice of odd out-crops where people will congregate - there will be pot smoke and champagne - and Om-ing.

I've seen this before.

Okay guys, I know every prediction about the end of the world has been wrong so far, but this one is different! It's 2012! Y2K was so 1999.

how is this news? and really I am tried of hearing about this so called "prophecy", if there is one show it too me, post about it OR try reading about actual historical and scientific work about the Mayans and their calender system.

To much fluff.

Seems many are interested in this theory.

I think there's a good chance we're the parallel universe that doesn't make it. We'll have the technology to see everything we've done wrong and at the moment when going back is too late, then we'll see what we should have done.

Then possibly, in the next life, if we happen over the same situations we may hesitate a little and choose differently and we'll get a second, third, or millionth chance until, humankind "gets it."

That's just a thought.

I just wrote what I believed and stated my opinion. I thought that was what Current was for. And you didn't answer the question. What then do you believe? How about actually giving us your own opinion instead of the sour grapes?

Once again all of you that believe in nothing, will accept something that takes more faith than Christianity to believe. If the Bible said this you would all be saying it was crazy, but Nostradamus, who is more wrong than right, says something you are willing to accept it. And JanforGore says something, puts out a hypothesis and she's a genius. Just putting it out there, showing your inconsistency.

Anything that you say about 12/21/12 can be said for ANY OTHER DAY in the future, because it is just that.

I am almost embarrassed this is on current as a top story. There's no news here, just senseless emotional ramblings.

2012 is the awakening, lets see who keeps their eyes open.

The only doomsday I really see is the one we bring on ourselves. It is a constant source of frustration for me personally because we have the intelligence and resources to right the ship, we just... don't. Perhaps with the proliferation of information by means of the greatest invention of the last century, the internet, we will begin to see the sum total of our misdeeds and realize we need to walk down a different, more humane and sustainable path.

After the corporations and nations have screwed the place up, we, the meek, will inherit what is left.

I agree with you! It's not the end of the world, it's the beginning of a new chapter.

I don't buy doomsday prophecies, whether they are from the Mayans, Nostradamus or the Bible. I firmly believe that humans have the choice to lead ourselves to destruction or strive for utopia.

Things seem bad now, but don't they always? Doesn't every generation have it's "cross to bear", it's end-of-days prophets, it's tragedies? We can learn from our past mistakes and make the future better!

Absolutely agree with you 100%.

Clearly a chance to redeem and right ourselves.
