USA Today recently published an article about the recent flurry of speculation surrounding December 21, 2012, which is the date the Mayan ââ¬ÅLong Countââ¬Â calendar is set to end. Many people believe it will be the ââ¬Ëend of the worldââ¬â¢, while others scoff at this notion. Some say itââ¬â¢s just the end of a cycle; others predict a change of consciousness, and see it as a positive change. Still others expect catastrophe. Whatââ¬â¢s interesting, notes USA Today, is that ââ¬ÅPart of the 2012 mystique stems from the stars. On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This means that ââ¬Ëwhatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time,ââ¬â¢ Joseph writes.ââ¬Â (Note the 11:11ââ¬Â¦) There are so many books and TV specials being created around 2012 one can hardly keep track. Even is getting into the action; director Michael Bay is planning a film called "2012: The War for Souls", based on Whitley Strieberââ¬â¢s book.
One of the chapters my book discusses the strange reoccurrence of a ââ¬Ëdestruction by fireââ¬â¢ in many belief systems ââ¬â itââ¬â¢s mentioned in more than a dozen books of the Bible, as well as in the Koran, the Zand i Vohuman Yasht (Zoroastrian scripture), The Final Signs of Qiyaamah, the Norse Ragnarok, the Srimad Bhagavatam, the Ipuwer Papyrus, and by other Native American and medieval prophets. An asteroid? Polar shift? The return of the 10th planet, Nibiru? Misuse of HAARP? Or maybe the eruption of a super volcano, or a massive solar flare? Could it have something to do with this coming alignment? It should be noted that other prophets set the date for the ââ¬Ëapocalypseââ¬â¢ around 2018 or 2019. Still others, such as Nostradamus, give us a few more thousand years.
It is widely known, at least amongst conspiracy theorists, that the government has long had several survival plans in the case of world catastrophe ââ¬â called Alternatives I, II and III, developed by the secretive Jason Society which was formed by President Eisenhower in 1957. Do they know something we donââ¬â¢t know? Or are they just being prepared for anything?
I have no answers; just a great interest and wonderment at the idea of it all. Iââ¬â¢m also careful not to blindly follow the crowd; I prefer to test it against my own spirit, which has clearly alerted me to some coming monumental change ââ¬â and yet not panicked me, either. Whether natural or man-made, things certainly seem to be setting up for a fall, if you just read the headlines these days. I wonââ¬â¢t be surprised if the end really does come in 2012 ââ¬â spiritually Iââ¬â¢m prepared for that. But I wonââ¬â¢t be too surprised if nothing happens at all: if weââ¬â¢re too hyped up for 2012 and nothing happens, it could be a classic case of boy crying wolf. Something even bigger could be on the horizon, and we wouldnââ¬â¢t pay attention anymore.
