Q. First off, I will say that I don't believe that 2012 will be any different of a year than any other one. I am asking about how people will react when the year finally comes around. With all of the media that this so called "prophecy" has gotten, don't you think that people will go to great lengths to try and stop it, since they "know" that it will happen?
Or, on the other hand, will people go to great lengths to make something happen in an attempt to fulfill the predictions?
A. The Mayans never actually predicted the end of the world. The only thing stemming from this is the fact the calendar ends come December 12, 2012.
The one thing the Mayans say is that by 2012 If we continue on this negative path of hate, an eye for an eye, destruction of nature, of fear and egoism, we will enter straight into the time of destruction and chaos, and we will disappear as the dominant race of this planet.
If we become conscious and realize that we all form part of a great organism, and that we should respect one another and be grateful to our planet, then we will move directly into positive growth, our Golden Age.
they seem to believe we're in for a great state of enlightenment and a new way of life if we choose the right path. those that do not choose the right path will face the consequences.
however, for 2012 the Mayans also predict:
we will have gone beyond technology as we know it.
(This happens on a daily basis since forever though. We've gone beyond technology as THEY knew it, beyond technology as our grandparents knew it, or kids will have technology that goes beyond what WE know it. It's how it works.)
we will have gone beyond time and money.
(By 2012? Really? with the ecomomic turmoil our nation is in, time is extremely important and money is on our minds every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year.
Even if Obama is able to fix things with a wave of his magic wand, I don't see us "Going beyond time and money" by 2012.)
we will have entered the fifth dimension after passing through the fourth dimension
(Come ON! This one gets me. We can't even make it through the third dimention. we're suppose to be entering the fifth dimention in less than 3 years? I don't see that happening except in theory.)
My theory is this.
People were freaking out about Y2K. when computers tried turning to 2000, it wouldn't register and missles would be launched unwittingly setting off world war three, Yellowstone would erupt destroying the world, a meteor would hit the earth, aliens would come to abduct our world leaders leaving us in chaos. phones and computers would go down, no one would be able to contact their loved ones.
When 2000 came and went, there was a NEW theory...
2000 wasn't the ACTUAL beginning of the new milennium because the milennium started with year 1 a.d., so the actual Y2K would happen on 2001. The first milennium was 1001 a.d. and the second is 2001 a.d.
So the doomsday prophesies came out again.
shortly after 2001 came and went, they focused on the year of damnation... 6.6.06. The year of the mark of the demon. the antichrist would be re-born and life as we know it would be coming to an end.
When that came and went with little more than a bad remake of "the Omen", the "I REALLY want the world the END" sayers focused on 7.7.07.
I'm not sure why... it was supposedly bad luck to someone for some reason... I don't know.
Now the main focus is on 12.21.12.
it's like people really really really really really want the world to end. It's kind of sad so many people are praying for the destruction of our planet.
My grandma on my dad's side was like that. She said the world was going to end 1992, and that the proof was in the fact that women were starting to get tattooed (The mark of the devil). She died 1991. We're still here, too bad she wasn't here to see it.
2012 I don't think will be any different from any other year, and whatever does happen, is more survivable now than it would have been in the past.
not to mention for the biblical scholars that are constantly talking about "the bible code" forget one thing... when asked, Jesus told his disciples when asked about when he'd return, "the end will come like a theif in the night. no one knows the hour nor day, not the angels in heaven, nor the son. only the father knows of it's coming."
in fact, this is mentioned on more than one occassion.''
so my position is that 2012 will be just like any other year, and not long after the 21st, we'll be in 2013.
and then we can listen to the 2020 prophecies for the end of the world.
do I worry about these "predictions?" its human to freak out when there are experts in freaking people out trying to freak you out.
but come what may... live your life to the best of your ability so you can look back and say you truly have no regrets and that you were a good person.
