2012 A.D.

The End of the Mayan Calendar is scheduled for December 21, 2012 (give or

take a year). The possibilities of what this end might mean is an increasinglyhot topic on the Internet, in conferences, printed articles, and in discussions allover the globe. This is because it just might be an incredibly important

moment in history -- e.g., the endof history!

Calendars, in general, do not end [1]. The whole purpose of developing

and/or keeping a calendar is to predict future events based upon the cyclicalnature of the world -- to keep such things as agriculture in line with theseasons or inform out-of-line politicians when their terms of office are up forreconsideration. [In this regard, politicians are like babies. Both need to bechanged periodically, and often, for the same reason.] But the idea thateverything is coming to some sort of completion, i.e. the end of cycles, theend of days, the end... period... This just doesnt compute when it comes to

the idea of a calendar.

But the Mayan Calendar is not necessarily your average, run-of-the-millcalendar. It is, among other things, reputed to be the most accurate in theworld. This is due in part to the fact it is also a relatively complicatedcalendar, using cycles of 13 and 20 (weird!), relating to the cycles of otherplanets (e.g. Venus), and in general incorporating some 22 (at last count)different sub-calendars, such that every contingency can be accounted for.

The Mayans did not elaborate in great detail about what would happen in

2012 A.D., just that their calendar would end. However, there has been noend(pardon the pun) to the possibilities being forecast by modern dayinterpretors of what the Mayans mighthave meant. These possibilitiesinclude 2012 A.D. as a time for:

1) major changes in human DNA (as in Indigo Children),

2) an enormous leap in Consciousness,

3) dimensional shifts (as in Hyperdimensional Physics and/or

Superstrings),

4) the cessation of linear Time,

5) an evolutionary human pinnacle,

6) a huge surge and multiple breakthroughs in technology,

7) the end of Money [Shirley, you jest!],

8) massive genetic mutations [the good news!],

9) a serious, altogether-too-close encounter with a Near-Earth

Objects member,

10) and a cosmic alignment of our solar system with the plane of ourGalaxy, the Milky Way. The latter represents the end of a 25,920 year cycle --a cycle based on the Precession of the Equinoxes).

goes so far as to

suggest that as of December 21, 2012 AD, the possibilities include anencounter with a trans-dimensional object such as a HyperspatialBreakthrough, Planetesimal Impact, Alien Contact, et al. The effects,according to will include

everything from intense dreams to DNA reprogramming from 2 strands backto 12 strand DNA, as well as the emergence of greater intuitive and healingabilities, children born with telepathic abilities, and that all plagues of the 90's,

including AIDS, will be gone.

has connected the time with

the alleged Resurrection of Osiris at The Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.

The author, Ruth Allen, noted, The zenith meridian at

Giza runs through Jupiter at the Hyades in Taurus. The metaphor for thisalignment is that the kingdom (Jupiter) will be restored to Egypt (Taurus) atthat precise moment. Thus, Osiris, the Bull of Egypt, will return from the deadat 22:18:13 on December 21, 2012. If these calculations can be backed up,they will have fulfilled the ancient prophecy. It will also prove that the Hall of

One of the more complete repositories of what 2012 A.D. might imply (and thesources of such information) is at www.diagnosis2012.co.uk. This website

has taken ideas from alternative scientists, Egyptologists, prophets,channelings, divinatory systems, shamanic psychonauts, psychonuts, artists,

mystics, mythology, Mesoamerican research, the so-called Bible Code, andthe concept of a complex fractal Time, where an ancient encoding in the

Chinese I Chingpredicts a 2012 termination point. The mathematical

wildness of the latter, the so-called TimeWave, is particularly intriguing!

notes that the Mayan fifth world

finished in 1987 [What is termed the Harmonic Convergence], but that thesixth world does not start until 2012. This leaves everyone currentlybetween worlds, aka the Apocalypse, or revealing. The time is

apparently upon everyone to work through their stuff, both individually andcollectively. They note, for example, that The Mayan sixth world is actuallyblank. This means it is up to us, as co-creators, to start creating the newworld and civilization we want now. [Why not get on this right after lunch,okay?]

provides an excellent article on

The How and Why of the Mayan End Date in 2012 A.D. Written by JohnMajor Jenkins (1994), the article makes several noteworthy observations,including:

Scholars have known for decades that the 13-baktun cycle of the MayanLong Count system of timekeeping was set to end precisely on a wintersolstice, and that this system was put in place some 2300 years ago. Thisamazing fact -- that ancient Mesoamerican skywatchers were able to pinpointa winter solstice far off into the future -- has not been dealt with by Mayanists.And why did they choose the year 2012? One immediately gets theimpression that there is a very strange mystery to be confronted here.

The point of interest for these early astronomers seems to have been the

projected end date in 2012 A.D., rather than the beginning date in 3114 B.C.Having determined the end date in 2012... and calling it 13.0.0.0.0, they thusproclaimed themselves to be living in the 6th baktun of the Great Cycle. Thelater Maya certainly attributed much mythological significance to the beginningdate, relating it to the birth of their deities, but it now seems certain that theplacement of the Long Count hinges upon its calculated end point.[emphasisadded]

suggests that the position of winter solstice sun within 3 degrees of theGalactic Center in the year 2012 A.D. (a once-in-a-precessional-cycle event)may provide the eschatological end point for his theory of time known asTimeWave Zero. His end date was chosen for historical reasons and was,

apparently, only later discovered to correspond with the Mayan end date.

For the astronomers, briefly describes

Mercury and Venus transits. A transit, in this connection, is, When Mercury

or Venus passes in front of the Sun's disk as seen from Earth. Mercurytransits happen about 12 times in a century. The next ones are: May 7,2003 . November 8, 2006. This is, supposedly, no big deal, but transits ofVenus -- the planet about which the Mayans were particularly interested -- area very rare sight, about 12 times per millennium! The last one was in the19th century, as there were none in the 20th century. Furthermore, the nextone's coming soon: June 8, 2004 , then June 6, 2012 (They come in pairs,eight years apart.) Several scholars have suggested that the 2012 transit ofVenus is all part of the 2012 A.D. K-Mart Blue Light Special -- the ultimateclose-out for bargain shoppers.

For the Astrologers -- we have to be fair when it comes to giving equal timebetween the Astronomers and Astrologers! -- 12-22-2012 is what might becalled an interesting natal chart. Of particular note is the formation of aYod (the finger of destiny, as highlighted in the figure). A Pluto-Saturnsextile (the heavies in Astrology) point the finger, so to speak, at Jupiter (the

zodiacal Santa Claus). One esoteric branch of astrology claims that Jupiteris always highlighted at death of an individual (i.e. its the good news). Onecan only wonder if the same might also apply as a species-wide event. Keepin mind that the Sabian Symbols for Pluto and Saturn in this case are: AnAngel Carrying a Harp and A Dentist at Work. You might want to stay tunedon this one!

And the possibilities continue -- or as some might observe -- run rampant.Perhaps the funniest aspect comes from some entrepreneurs at "radix",where in a bid for the End-of-the-Worldcon, they have advocated ChichnItz as the place to be on December 21, 2012. Everyone is invited to, spendyour last Worldcon of this existence with us! They go on to describe theiraccommodations: Our three hotels, the Hacienda Chichn, the Mayaland,and Villas Arqueologicas are close together and convenient to Chichn Itz'sown airport. Swimming is available in any of the nearby cenotes. [Visa andMasterCharge are, presumably, still being accepted!] Then theres the

masquerade venue with adequate raked seating! Plus we'll be putting majorprogramming in the Ball Court to avoid the expense of sound amplification.[Why exactly should we worry about expense?] Finally, they note that, Thecenter of science programming will be the observatory. Celestial readings willbe taken throughout the convention to ensure that closing ceremonies exactlycoincide with the end of time.

Dead dog party to follow.

The course allows undergraduates to participate inongoing research projects related to the problems and challenges humans willface in a manned mission to Mars. The website goes on to headline, TheSynergy Project [uniting] universities, industries, NASA [in] bringing humans toMars.

Is there, perhaps, a suspicion at Berkeley that being on Mars in 2012 A.D.might be highly preferable to being on Earth at that time?

Finally, Drunvalo Melchizedek ,

details some of the metaphysical aspects of the event, but also includes howone might prepare for such an event. This is presented in slightly greaterdetail on the supposition that one always needs to close with an upbeatending. This is the same sort of thinking that Tom Robbins in his book,Jitterbug Perfume, included, when he noted that the sign over the doorway toHell read, Lighten Up.

Quoted from:

So now that the Time of Great Change is here, what do we do?

Prepare physically? Physically means finding a place that feels safe andstoring food and necessary equipment for up to a two year period. This mayor may not be right for you. Understand the situation. First of all, this period of

time you would be preparing for is before the change, not after. The idea thatwe are to prepare and wait, and then after to come out of the shelter andresume life after the change is misleading. Once the change has happened,the next world will not be visible to the old one. We will ascend into a newworld on a different wave length where any physical preparation made onearth will be useless there. Just as in death, you cannot bring it with you.[emphasisadded]

So the reason for physical preparation is to give one a safe place to makethe transition without violence and struggle -- A calm place and time to

meditate during the outer changes going on. If, however, you do not feel it isnecessary. That is all right also. Spirit is forever. No matter what happens,you will survive. What is truly important here is your state of consciousnessduring this transition. Your consciousness can overcome any of the physicalproblems.

An essential requirement is dropping the old consciousness of Good andEvil, which we must do in order to enter the new higher consciousness. Theold consciousness sees itself as being inside a body and everything andeveryone else as outside of itself. This way of seeing is [the way of

Illusions]. The Hindus call it Maya.

Hermes of Ancient Greece once said, As above, so below. This quote hasbecome famous, and is just now being proven by science. The macrocosmand the microcosm reflect each other. In the same way, another quote isimportant. As within, so without. The inside and the outside are connected. Itis here, where the important work will be lived. To realize that what happenson the inside reflects to the outside -- and the other way around. Thisrelationship is effected by our feelings. Fear creates a contracted state ofbeing. Love creates an expanded state of being. When we are in fear and

contracted, the outer world controls our inner world. When we are in love andexpanded, the inner world controls our outer world.

So the key to interdimensional survival is to remain positive and in love withlife even when the outer world may seem hopeless. Know the perfection ofNature. At the same time and equally important, know and see that GreatSpirit/Nature is alive and conscious of you. Develop communication withinyourself with God. An example of indigenous understanding of this is that of

the Kahunas in Hawaii: Their belief in nature as alive and conscious.

The final key is to bring this connection with Nature into yourself. Let yourinner child self emerge and play with Life. Marah Baba said it perfectly, Behappy, don't worry. Bashar said it in another way, Be happy for no reason. Itis your childlike joy that will lead you home. Do you remember?
