2012 PREDICTIONS: HYPE / SCIENTIFIC REALITY?

Most of us are not archaeologists or astronomers, anthropologists or astrologers. But some writings and discussions about one of the most exciting and relevant subject sounds interesting. Ever heard of “DOOMSDAY PREDICTIONS” which says Earth will end on a particular year/ day? If yes, then you know that we, as well as our Planet Earth, still exist intact. Then what makes 2012 important? There are a number of striking coincidences about this special topic.

MAYAN CALENDER: The Temple of Kukulcan in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula is a physical embodiment of the Mayan Calendar having 91 steps on each of the four sides of the pyramid (totaling 364) and the top platform making it 365, to match the days of a solar year. Mayan Calendar stops at 23/12/2012. Aztecs mythology speaks of the first age of mankind ending up with the animals devouring humans; second age finished by wind; the third by fire and the fourth by water. The present is the fifth epoch called Nahui-Olin (Sun of Earthquake), which began in 3113 B.C and will end on Sunday, December 23, 2012. It is said to be the last destruction of humans on Earth. After the fifth age, humanity is said to realize its destiny. In the sixth age, humans will realize God within themselves, and in the seventh, they will become extremely spiritual that telepathic communications will govern the world. The Mayan Calendar is not infact predicting the end of the world by 2012, but the start of a new era, a new cycle of life.

I CHING: The ancient Chinese oracle-calendar (“Book of Changes”) the I Ching, written in 2800 B.C, which is revered till date, has been analyzed using a computer program by Terrence McKenna (a writer, philosopher, psychonaut and ethnobotanist). From the similarity pattern that emerged out of research, a time line graph was created. This “Time Wave Zero” showed enormous fluctuations over last 25,000 year and hit an asymptote on December 2012 which denotes a state without habituation.

EINSTEIN’S POLAR SHIFT THEORY: Albert Einstein in 1955 postulated a theory wherein reversal of Earth’s poles has been mentioned. Scientific discoveries reveal that in the center of our galaxy exists a black hole. In the year 2012, December, according to astronomical calculations, the Sun and the Earth will be in direct alignment with this black hole which will cause a magnetic shift, resulting in pole reversal. If so happens, the impact would be devastating and destructive according to scientists.

WEB BOT PROJECT: This is a software program developed in 1990's to assist in stock market predictions. The technology uses a system of spiders to crawl into virtual space to locate key words. It takes a snap shot of text required from various websites and later on filters it. The projects concept is said to have aimed at tapping into the "collective unconsciousness" of the universe. But after the 9/11 Terrorist attack, it was noticed that this program could make forecast of commemorative events and this includes December 2012.

OTHER PROPHECIES: The Book of Revelations in Holy Bible also speaks of prophecies like prediction of Earth Occurrences, Submersions and Disasters. The oldest tribe in the United States, the Hopi Indian Tribe, believed that the world has been created and destroyed four times previously and we are on the brink of fifth. The event of the Great Celestial Conjunction encoded in the Tarot readings also coincides with Mayan Calendar’s Winter Solstice of 2012. Merlin, Europe’s greatest oracle or “seer” predicted that the Planets will “run riot” through the constellations, completely off their normal paths of rotation, during the time when the “Talking Stones” (Quartz Technology) dominates the world. A whole raft of forecast from Cayce, Nostradamus and Orion Prophecy of Egypt point towards an event like ‘Doomsday’ happening in 2012 and now NASA has made supporting statements regarding “Sun Solar Storm” leading to annihilation of existence on Earth. All together, this makes 2012 issue significant.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Standing at the cross roads of transformation, destiny gives humanity two options: EITHER to continue on the path of ignorance and irrationality and face self destruction of our civilization OR change our ways and attitudes to be compassionate and humane and see the new age of reformation within ourselves & the world around us. Terrorism, Blood Shed, War, Riots, Pollution & Exploitation of Earth’s resources, Mortifying Personal Relationships through Betray, Abuse & Neglect - What are we upto? Expect a Doomsday or take a chance to redeem ourselves & mankind: CHOICE IS OURS.
