MAYAN 2012 CALENDAR PROPHECIES

December 21, 2012 is a significant date for those who espouse the predictions of the Mayan calendar.  This date portends a dire outcome for the world and our people.  It is important to understand how and why this date was arrived upon.

The year 2012 is earmarked as being one of cataclysmic events because it augurs the end of the Mesoamerican Long count calendar which is 5, 125 years in duration and which ends December 21 or 23, 2012.  A great deal of speculation has been attached to this year and date. Subsequently, it is suggested that this augurs the end of the world as we know it.

Insofar as a world catastrophe occurring, 2012, predictions of any sort are generally dismissed as pseudo science.  The scientific community does not subscribe to the notion of a catastrophe occurring in order to lend legitimacy to ancient prophecy.

There are two diverse branches of thought regarding the coming of this date.  To some, 2012 predictions are of a dire and cataclysmic nature.  It is suggested that the year of 2012 is the time of the apocalypse, or end of the world. Conversely, it is also thought that the way we know the world now will be diametrically different, and there s no negative connotation to this second theory.

Predictions for 2012, by those who envision an end of days scenario portend a series of cataclysmic events, both man made and natural, which culminate in the world ending. It is suggested that because of astronomic occurrences that affect the magnetic field of the earth will cause grave harm.  It is suggested that the reason the polar ice caps are melting, not because of global warming, but because of a shift in the earth’s magnetic fields. This shift in turn, will adversely affect the planet.

The occurrences of global economic crisis, environmental catastrophes, and political tensions are suggested to be the inevitable built-up in world crises that will culminate with a complete state change for the world and its population.  These predictions have been alluded to by Edgar Cayce, Nostradamus as well as ancient civilizations like the Mayans.

Insofar as predictions for 2012, there is a lot of credence attached to a negative outcome.  Ancient prophecies have predicted, with a degree of accuracy, events that have transpired.   The disasters of recent world events are often attributed to the prophecies of ancient times coming to fruition.

With regard to predictions, it is certainly evident that there have been vast and disturbing weather changes.   Also, we have experienced world-wide economic crises unprecedented in history.  Military tensions throughout the globe are teetering on a precipice.

In addition, there is the prediction that the planet Nibiru   is on a collision course with the earth, and this catastrophe is predicted to transpire in the year 2012. This is in accordance to the Mayan calendar.  December 21^st, of that year is when this calendar officials ends.

The idea of this planet being on a collision course with Earth causes the most concern with regard to 2012 predictions.   There is indication that such a calamity is in the offing.  There are many organizations emerging that are suggesting strategies to mitigate the potential disaster or avert it.

The New Agers hypothesis   suggests that the year 2012 will be a time of spiritual awakening, and embracing of a collective consciousness that will serve to improve the existence of mankind.  This 2012 prediction is downplayed, compared to more dire predictions, since forecasts of catastrophe have a tendency to capture the imagination far more.

.

It is significant; however, that many groups are developing that devotes their work to preparing for the possibility of the world ending in this manner, that this dire 2012 prediction will come true.    They are working on strategies to cope with, or alleviate the end of days portended by the Mayans.  There is even a feature film about this phenomenon shortly to be released.

To summarize, predictions for 2012, are just that-predictions.  There have been numerous times when the interpretations of ancient wisdoms have been misinterpreted or misconstrued.  The outcome for 2012 remains to be seen.
