If this post is already open, sorry, please direct me to it.
Ok, I want to know what you all think about 2012. The year the world is supposed to go through a really big change.
Whats your take on it? Will the magick return, what happens to the world as it is? What could cause it? Anything on the different world calenders? Geology, Astronomy? Let me in on your oppinions.
I heard it's when all religon will cease to exist, but I seriously doubt anything will happen. They said the world would end before now and it never did.
I agree with that; although that lately they've been messing with our heads with the asteroid theory that will hit the Earth...it is supposed that one will hit Earth even the next year!
How can you calculate what will happen and when it will. It's just an excuse for goverment money to look like it's going to something useful.
I don't think the year 2012 has anything to do with something that the government predicted.
The ancient Mayans predicted that the "world as we know it" will end in the year 2012.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. It's definitely a possibility seeing as I heard this over four years ago and my facts could be rusty.
I hate organized religion and have thought about ways to dissprove it to erase the boundaries we've created. I need someone to test the KT boundary for evidence of a nuclear explosion haha. It's composed of Iridium and similar dense metals. I've heard that ideologically denser materials would make the best weapon.
I find it highly supicious that life conveniently popped up here on this planet and species were conveniently killed off rofl. I know this sounds crazy but there has to be a way to at least test to see if the material in the KT boundary was enriched at any point rofl
I have tooo much insanity and far too much time on my hands lol.. supposedly there were 3 impact points a denser bombs material would choke existiing life better :P
me and my sister were really stoned once, and discussing this..i believe the world is going to end in 2012..everyone is gonna die. (shrugs) i donno
I'd also like to add that once a material is enriched then detonated it breaks down into adifferent material. people knew the earth was flat. People knew the earth was the center of the universe. we know a meteor hit the earth which is also likely. Meteorites are typically heavy in metals.
I don't necessarily believe life was wiped out intentionally but it sure would explain alot (unless you're a zealot) :P
It could be that thats when everything happens at once, or the the galaxy starts a unified slide into a big black hole. stranger things have happened. (or truth is stranger than fiction :-p)
i've heard about it as well, it must be like one of the other thousands times the world had to finish and so on...
Shrouded sith, what the blood FU** are you talking about? Bombs and choaking and stuff. I lets stay with it huh? But from my research, the Myans wernt the only ones to predect a major change via there calender. On or within a 8 week period, the Egyptian Star, Celtic Tree, Toltec Stone, Myan Solar, Babbalionian Celestial calenders all end at the same time. All with prophisies (sp) similar to "the world as we know it well end and the new world will being" Likewise, the Greek calender (the ancient varient one we all in the western world use today, which was based off the zodiac ) picks up a 13th constilation found to be a tutle to accound for Earth Air and Fire.
2012 is also the year of the Emperial Black Dragon is the Asia zodiac. These years are said to bring spiritual destruction, reformation, choas, natural disasters and rebirth.
As science tells us, in 2012, the Earth will align perfectly with the sun and the center of out gallaxy, possibly creating a wobble of the earths axis, which could make natural disasters more than likely.
we realized we weren't the center of the galaxy in the 18th century lol
Not going to happen. On 2012, where the Mayan callendar is concerned, is not the end--just the beging of another cycle. The actual end of times predicted by the Mayans is in the cycle 13.x13 (13.13.13.13.... until there are 13 sets) I believe, if memory serves, we will be in 13.13 on 2012.
I think it'll be just like the year 2000, 2001, and 6/6/06 people will get all hyped up and nothing will happen kids will make fun of everyone that accualy thought the world was going to end
I just did some quick research since I'd never heard of this before. I found everything from UFOs to people's DNA changing. I think maybe the mayans saw no reason to continue further or planned to later and everyone is reading too much into it.
I believe it's possible that 2012 will bring the end of the world as we know it, but not the end of the world.
While I can't say "Yup 2012 is the year" I do believe that we shuld be expecting a serious global shift that will bring on phenomenal changes -- some, I believe will kill of a quarter of the population. Again, Im speculating. Politicsbeings what they are lately...
From Wikipedia.
The end of the 13th b'ak'tun is conjectured to have been of great significance to the Maya, but does not necessarily mark the end of the world according to their beliefs, but a time of re-birth. According to the Popol Vuh, a book compiling details of creation accounts known to the Quiché Maya of the colonial-era highlands, we are living in the fourth world. The Popol Vuh describes the first three creations that the gods failed in making and the creation of the successful fourth world where men were placed. The Maya believed that the fourth world would end in catastrophe and the fifth and final world would be created that would signal the end of mankind.
The last creation ended on a long count of 13.0.0.0.0. Another 13.0.0.0.0 will occur on December 21, 2012, and it has been discussed in many New Age articles and books that this will be the end of this creation or something else entirely. However, the Maya abbreviated their long counts to just the last five vigesimal places. There were an infinite number of larger units that were usually not shown. When the larger units were shown (notably on a monument from Coba), the end of the last creation is expressed as 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0, where the units are obviously supposed to be 13s in all larger places. In this age we are only approaching 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.13.0.0.0.0, and the larger places are nowhere near the 13s that would match the end of the last creation. (Schele and Friedel 1990: 430)
This is confirmed by a date from Palenque, which projects forward in time to 1.0.0.0.0.0, which will occur on October 13, 4772. The Classic Period Maya obviously did not believe that the end of this age would occur in 2012. According to the Maya, there will be a baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of a 13th 400 year period, but not the end of the world.
i doubt anything will happen, supposably the world was going to come to an end in the year 2000, and then it was said that the world was ending sometime early this year, so i dont think
To my knowledge, nothing is going to happen. Should I be wrong, won't there be egg on my face.
This is the first I'm hearing anything about 2012, but I have heard of the following possibilities.....
By the year 2013, all known antibioticvs will be useless against mutated strains of disease.
2014, a planet killer asteroid may very well hit the earth and wipe out all life through a new ice age.
What would be interesting is if the Mayans predicted that magic as we know it would change dramaticly, to become absolutely unrecognizeable.
I heard GLobal Warming is happening and everyone's going to die and all this and that. All i have to say is bring it on.
It's just another day...Many myths and legends seem to surround this day, but if you look deep enough and far enough back, you can find many other days with just as much false hype related to them...It's only what you want to make of it...
didnt the world end when it turned to year 2000.. like y2k. OH right we're still alive... hmmmm
who knows!?!
Y2k could have been very bad had the wonderful makers of computer software not fixed what would have created a really bad economic destabilization of the world. Imagine that in the turning of one second, evert ounce of non=physical money, everywhere in the world just disappeared......
Perhaps the Mayans couldn't calculate any further for one reason or the other. Maybe the individual in charge of calendar preparation became tired of the same old routine and stopped.
This date became popular because of E. Cayce. During his famous readings he stated that he could not read further than 2012. The general public took this, and some still do, take this as the end of the world. This is now being re-enforced by the two calendars that seem to end at the same time. The calendar on my wall ends on dec 31, 2006. That doesn't mean the world will end then! Cayce couldn't see farther than 2012 becauce the earth's records that he was using are no longer there. The energy is totally different to do readings. The world is not ending - just changing.
Every century end, every big time lapsus... the humakind always think in their destruction without any result...
I thnik tha the end comes, but not today or tomorrow, the end comes when we not expect it...
I concure with billy, I dont believe in "the end" but I do believe in big changes. My only though on the matter is, what (if any) is the change going to be?
to be honest i dont think any one truly know when the world will end but the fates. or what ever religion u so happen to belive. but the world will change. things are already changing in the world. things that we can see right now. things like it getting warmer during the winter time. there are other things out there u just have to look and see some of the things that will change havent changed yet. so we will just have to wait and see.
Overreacting it is.Reality is when some individual dont know exact main point
in this universe,then that one cant do nothing but making up theories,
trying hard to actually make it happen
and usually fails at then that one need to clean up those messes all the fucking time,fucking retards,good fucking game.
Therefore,its fake advertisement as usual.
I would never tell what is the main point of this universe.its forbidden,
since someone always interested in disgusting destruction.
Dont even pm me about it.
the McEagle clan says that the seven archangels (their on Earth) will assemble and decide to end it w/the help of some Ancients...or something like that
would someone be willing to translate simons post for me? I cant understand it.
Don't mind him...he has been hanging around yoda again. lol.
I love the killer asteroid theory....since at any given moment there are NUMEROUS dangerously large asteroids being tracked.....we have had 5 near misses in the last few years in fact......hehe heres a thought....The US will invade korea in 2012 as a preemptive tactic......and get nuked for their troubles....that would be a change as we know it....and not too far out of the realms of possibility either....considering their foreign affairs strategies to date....hehe
Seriously people, get on wikipedia and look up the "Long count." That is what the Mayan calendar is, and it explains "2012," so we don't have to make any half-hearted guesses on what will happen on that date. You can find out what is going to happen.
I hadn't really heard about this before. It's been fun learning. Anyway, I guess my basic feeling is that time will tell exactly what all of this means, and there's far too much time between now and then for me to worry about it too much.
Will the world end? I don't think so. Will the world change? Probably. Change is one of the few things you can count on in life.
About Maya,Here is one of page.
http://www.civilization.ca/civil/maya/mmc03eng.html
Well, you did have that last word Billy, and your moderator title dictates that. I was not looking for the last word, now I look for a question to be answered:
Who do I talk to about a moderator position. I have done it for 10 years, and I do understand how awful things can get if you let people go around all willy-nilly. That is the only reason I suggested people look to the wikipedia site, since most were commenting on the Mayan aspect of it... really the ONLY aspcet of it. That is the ONLY 2012 prophecy. Look at the time of their civilzation, and the time of other references. It is clear the Mayan came first.
I apologize if I hurt anyone with the truth, but I let honest fly when I am made to suffer with repeated idocy. However it is only a very, very small population here that is that grating on my mind, it will still get to me.
Like she says,we shouldnt take lightly on this since this is involving cosmology for sure.And this maya contains also blood,
we can research more about it.
It does not end at 2012, it doesn even "end" at 2012. Neither does the Eqyptian. The Eqyptian calanedar is far more simple than the Mayan calander, and as long as there are numbers it will not end. I don't want a fight, but I do want to fight for an intelligent place to chat about interesting topics.
2012 is year that WW3 is suppose to start. it is also when the United States is suppose to go through geological upheaval. Native Americans have a prophecy..........if we do not heal the world. the world will heal its self.
this is the first I have ever heard of this...I would love to see old magick reappear. I will go do some more research on this, thanks for posting it.
Wow! This is the first I have heard of all of this 2012 stuff. But to be honest, I feel that what happens, happens. The things out there bigger than me that I can do nothing to affect, I can only let happen and not sweat them until they get here, when ever that is.
well the only thing that i no aobut 2012 is that is the year that the maynas belived the world was gonna come to an end but toher then that thats all i no aobut that year
hmmm fight for a open and intelligent place to discourse...
doesn't that require a different attitude than this is what wikipedia says...so it is the only thing there is....not to be rude....but you are the one using the common shutdown tactic of this is the only way so thats the way it is....instead of openly discussing other possibilities....
And there are other possibilities.
For one: Does the number 2012 mean that literally? Or does it mean the energy of 2012, the ascention, as the New Agers believe? If so, then we may be already in it.
For second: If this year is 2006, and the calendar is off by 7 years, as many believe it is, then 2012 was last year! Sorry folks but the you missed the end of the world. lol.
hmm... a huge change.. if you ask me there is only one change possible and its what albert einstein said....
there might be a 3rd world war as the east and we the stupid west who brought things to this point might start a war. and the result we be this.
"I dont know what weapons humans will love in third world war, but those who survive will use stones and sticks in the fourth one." Albert Einstein
dont forget about 1966...!
many end of times have been predicted and guess what..we are still here
If I may interject. I notice alot of people getting seriously bent on this subject, and while Im all about a good heated debate, lets make sure where fighting for intelligence and not personal reasons. Id rather see this thread closed than see it end uselessly RIA'd
suposedly its the year of the apocolipse. which is total bullshit because it was supose to happen at the turn of the millenium and looks like were still here am i right? im not too worried
I had heard about the myan calendar ending at 2012 and that people say that is because that is when they thought the world would end. I don't think the world will end. There are always going to be people who predict the end of the world or some Cataclysm. If you believe in the bible code we are suppose to have a Cataclysmic event sometime in the year 2010 because Yellow Stone which is a super volcano will erupt and cause the world to go into a nuclear winter for a few years.

When it happens it'll happen. who knows when it will end
ppl who think that the end of the world was surpose to b the trun of the centry well ur wonr g bc we are going by that as or the mayan calander and they were off by 12 years
I say wait for aliens to invade earth then freak out about the end of the world as we know it.
Often, the best way to make sure an event does or does not happen is to align the synchronicity of seemingly unrelated events to a singular point.
The best thing to do is not worry about it it if happens it happens. Just live your life to the fullest potential and be happy thats all that matters we are all going to die eventually
so deal with it
Dark Greeting's, "It's the end of the world as we know it (REM) Magic will return,and If we're lucky the christian God will Rapture all his people up and we can all get on with it, :)
Dark Blessing's,

I didn't know that the world was supposed to end in 2012
I know that the second coming of Christ was supposed to be 2000 years after the first and, by the time you adjust for pagan festivals and people adding months to the calender, leap years and everything. The 2000 years seemed to line up with 2012 in our modern calender - could this be the reason? Should I start building an Ark in woodshop? LoL
Personally I think its going to be like the millenium bug - nothing much happened.
Sure comets have smacked into planets and will always smack into planets, that sort of thing doesn't stop with time - but I don't think it can be foreseen like 6 years off
Yeah, i heard about that. I tried to set up a post but put it in the wrong place. I think, the way things are going on now, it might be WW3, or hopefully something supernatural or something. I hope it isn't the end or beginning of the end of the world.
you know, to be quite honest, if it is the end of the world, nothing would make me happier. Just make sure I have my chambord and vodka and a pack of smokes, cuz Im gonna sit back and watch it happen! hehe
uhm......wow
apperantly I was the only one who didn't get the memo...... It's supposed to be the end of the world in 2012?.....damn......hmm I wonder if I pretend I didn't know.... would it still happen?
Like the tree in the forest thing? lol.
The poles were suppose to switch too and cause a total mess with tidal waves and end life as we know it. The poles are indeed changing now but slowly. Maybe doomsday will be nice to us after all and wouldn't hurt so much. lol.
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone..."
Not really seeing "Jesus will return on 2012"
This is why those religions that center themselves around this idea of mortal deification are nothing more than a largely deluded cult.
Speaking of polar shifts, that was suppose to happen on May 5, 2000 when there was a planetary alignment of all the planets that had not happen in 6000 years. People were saying that it would have enough force on the earth to cause the poles to shift. It didn't happen. Here is an archive of a web page talking about what was suppose to happen.
http://web.archive.org/web/20001119140000/http://www.inward.com/may5.html
the poles have flipped on earth many times...but they don't have more than a vague guess as to the actual causes.....
and in reference to an earlier post..no I'm not american.....and even if i were..i'm not so sure i'd admit it....hehehe
i'm a proud canadian
2012... London Olympics...
Sorry. On a more serious note, I don't know if there will be a major upheaval in 2012 or a realignment of world power. I don't even know where I'll be then, but I believe that looking at the pattern of disasters in the past few centuries could indicate that things will change. Perhaps in a positive way, perhaps not.
We have changed the face of our planet. Each day that passes sees the death of trees, animals and the ozone layer. Soon it may be impossible for people to remain ignorant about what we have done.
Will the straw that breaks the camel's back be placed in 2012? Only time will tell and time is racing by.
I find it interesting that things are already happening that may reach a head by 2012. By 2012, if the western antartic shelf continues on it's present course, the sea level will rise by 20 feet. That will change the globe a bit. Also by 2012, North Korea, Iran, and a few other countries will have long range neuclear weapons. These countries also have the attitude to use them. That will change the globe too. Just an observation.
Well I believe that if it happens it happens. If in 2012, then I guess I will die a little younger than expected.
I have to agree.. I think that yes, the world will change as we know it..
But, who's to say that it will be in 2012 and not 2020 or 2007 for that matter?
The world is forever changing every day. The world for me today is not the same world it was for me 10 years ago...
Many a things have changed..
Unless the solar radation hits the earth nothing big will happen in 2012.
I think this world will last another 1000 years before something really big effects it.
However, If something does happen. Only the people who know how to survive with out the technology and stuff like that.
Others will parish.
People with a strong spiritaul side will be the ones that survive.
i don't think that the world will end i do see it changing for the worst. people not being decent to one another, the violence over whose religion is better. i feel bad for the people that bought into the whole y2k and started to panic by stocking up on batteries, and fuel.
According to some that I associate with 2012 is a time of change for the earth itself. The energies are to be re-distributed and out of this a new spiritual awakening. However the last time such an energy was felt coming from the earth such as it is leading up to 2012 nothing happened until a few eatehquakes in the Mid East which non of us expected to happen. In relation to the energy.
I doubt something will happen. It rarely does when the 'experts' say it will.
I never even heard of that. Last time I heard anything, it was that an astroid was meant to be hitting Earth in 2017 and that we were all gonna die. O_O
But whatever happens, happens :)
and the experts also said the world was going to shut down on 2000, funny, im still here, so far. if something happens, it happens, not much we can do about it anyway so why waste time worrying about something that may not happen.
