Is December 21, 2012 the End of the World?
A new movie came out just in time for the holidays based on the end of the world happening in 2012. It’s another chance for Hollywood to make money by fixating on our fascination with the destruction of the world. The end of the world is a recurring theme in science fiction movies. The producers claim this movie is based on the Mayan calendar, which some interpreters say ends on December 21, 2012. Since the calendar ends, so must civilization. This is a strange concept. Everyone knows, when a calendar ends, you begin a new one. The Mayan Long Count calendar was created to track 5,000 years. Once it runs out, a new era will begin, but that doesn’t mean a major catastrophe is impending. In a lecture by a Mayan elder and when the audience was given the opportunity to ask questions, most of them focused on the possibility of the world ending in December of 2012. The Elder was very respectful in addressing the concerns about our future. His major point was people are trying to attach dates from The Gregorian calendar to a very different ancient Mayan method of recording time and there is no common comparison to match dates and years The Elder said too much attention is being paid to trying to predict the exact date of the end of the world. The Mayan Calendar is not a predictor of Doomsday or Armageddon.
In late December of 2012, a close conjunction of The Winter Solstice Sun with the center of The Milky Way Galaxy will occur. Again, some people are connecting this astronomical event to the Mayan calendar and predicting the end of the world. A well known astronomer says “The fact that the winter solstice on 2012 is “aligned” with the plane of the Galaxy has no significance. It takes the winter solstice 700-1400 years to cross the plane of the Galaxy. The solstice last year (referring to 2005) was within 0.1 degrees (or 1/5th the size of the Sun) of where it will be on 2012. The Sun crosses the plane of the Milky Way twice every year with no ill effect.”
If the world is going to end soon, there seems to be no way of exactly predicting when or how it will happen. Who knows? Planet earth may continue well beyond our lifetimes. Or all of us may be living on borrowed time, unaware of impending disaster. Whichever way things are going, we have no personal control over the outcome, although some will argue we can influence it. What we can do is live our lives in the best way possible and enjoy each moment. If the end of the world came today, would you be satisfied with the way you spent your life? If your answer is yes, many blessings to you on your continued life journey. If your answer is no, you can still make changes and live your life to the fullest.
Surviving 2012, Rules You Must Follow To Protect Your Family
Just picture this for a moment…It is now December 22nd 2012, the predictions have all come true and the world in in turmoil. You look back to 2010 and think “if only I had taken the precautions then maybe today my family and I would have coped better than we did.” If surviving 2012 is important to you then you must read on and follow some rules to protect your family.
Facing the unknown will not come easily to us and we have to let go of the traditional ways of protecting ourselves and think outside the box. A solid plan and quick reflexes will be required to survive the catastrophes we are told will occur.
If this all comes to pass one thing is for sure and that is a great shortage of food and water. This situation will make food far more precious than gold especially in a money-less society. If you prepared properly then you will have accumulated canned goods, rice and dry beans for best storage without power. Extreme heat or cold and many other factors could lead to starvation if you aren’t prepared.
There will be thousands who have not prepared properly so you will always have to be on your guard to remain in ownership of your survival supplies.
A solid plan is needed to survive these catastrophes and there are certain places that you don’t want to be. Here are a few suggestions for you to consider if these 2012 predictions come to pass:
* The size of the community you live in
* The height of the surrounding buildings
* The ease of a swift evacuation. Will there be thousands all fleeing at the same time?
* Are there a lot of bridges in your area as they will collapse as fast as buildings.
* Mid sized or large cities are not the best places to be when you know disaster is coming.
* You and your survival supplies will be in grave danger when a catastrophe hits. Be prepared.
* Mass panic leads to chaos and the inability to leave quickly.
* The terrified populace will do anything to survive.
* Mob rule is prevalent in a catastrophe situation.
* People who have not prepared as well as you will instantly become your enemy.
* Martial law is highly possible during this time, which is never good.
* Crumbling buildings, traffic accidents, train derailments and more * And so much more that cannot be included in this one article…
It is imperative that we protect our own during these horrific times in order for us to survive and carry on the human race. I know there are many skeptics out there and they think 2012 is hogwash and that is fine. We are all entitled to our opinions and mine tends to be that 2012 is real and we should be prepared. Please read as much information as you can on this subject..you owe it to yourself and your family.
