2012 – The End of Our Civilization? A Gnostic Perspective By E. Arda
Recently the topic of the Mayan calendar and the end of a major cycle of time has once again been brought to the fore by some authors and the media.
The year 2012 is specifically mentioned, and many expect that the world, as we know it, will finish in that year.
This subject deserves close attention and study. Let us not forget that the Mayans arrived at a very high degree of civilization some 4000 years ago. Modern scholars have verified that the Mayans’ observations and astronomical calculations are entirely accurate in every respect, with much of their knowledge remaining beyond the scope of modern science.
Many other peoples conceived existence subjected to CYCLES OF TIME. The Aztecs, for example, divided time into different “suns”. Suns that give rise to different humanities: the Children of the First Sun, the Second Sun, and so on.
In old Europe the ancient Greeks divided the history of humanity into cycles of four ages: the Golden Age, the Silver Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. At the end of the Iron Age (the period of greatest materialism and confusion) the Earth is renewed and a new Golden Age begins.
The same basic conception of existence is found in ancient India and its sacred books. Here even the universe itself is subjected to great cycles of time (maha-yugas), lasting for millions of years and enveloping universes, systems of worlds, planets and humanities. Here everything rests on the primary rhythm: the Breathing of Brahma, which gives rise to periods of activity and periods of rest for the whole universe (the cosmic days and nights).
Nowadays we have forgotten that life and time unfold in cycles. Today we think that time unfolds in a straight line. We have a linear conception of time (past, present and future). This is one of the consequences of our moving away from Nature. Don’t we realize that the year itself unfolds in endless cycles of spring, summer, autumn and winter as the Earth completes a revolution around the Sun?
In the Gospels themselves, Jesus clearly mentions the end of the world, not in terms of the end of the planet, but in terms of THE END OF AN AGE, therefore in terms of time. (Greek: TE SYNTELEIA TOU AIONOS). Aionos or Aion meaning “era” or “age”. And he relates it to the selection and renewal of humanity, clearly alluding to a new beginning. See for example gospel of Matthew 13: 40-43).
Now we can ask ourselves: is there a connection between the alleged end of the world in 2012 and the different zodiacal ages: the Age of Pisces, the Age of Aquarius… which follow one after the other until they complete a large cycle of time or Sidereal Year (also called Platonic Year).
Can we disregard the profound study of the zodiacal ages and their influence on the planet earth and humanity?
The sages of antiquity were well aware of them.
There is a book written in 1960 that can enlighten us about all of this, its title is The Message of Aquarius.
In it, its author explains at length everything concerning the end times and the arrival of a new humanity within a new cycle of time.

News papers, magazines and books printed on paper are obsolete. I can say that because I am a reader. When was 12 years old I set out to read every book in my local library, I was making good headway, but I ran into two problems they kept buying new books and I went away to college. My college library was like reading heaven, at the time it was the largest library for several states. Then came the best part, after college it was no more library for me, it became buy books and bookshelves to keep them. The point is I love to read newspapers, magazines and books but, their time on paper has come and I am sorry to say gone.
The news papers printed on paper are on the same track as say the steam locomotive. It was great for a time, it changed the world, but when it’s time came it went kicking and screaming to the museum like all the other out modes. Today, like most I read my newspapers, a total of five, the New York Times, The Washington Post and three state newspapers without touching a piece of paper. We can save the tree now, it is so obvious that news on printed paper is obsolete. I know the tree cutters, paper mills, printing press manufacturers, pressmen, ink makers, truck drivers, delivery drivers will all have adjustments to make. That is just part of that kicking and screaming on the way to the museum that will never go away.
The magazines have been on a downward spiral since the advent of the TV newsmagazine shows like “60 Minutes”, which started in 1968. The industry has been losing its market share for over 40 years, why do we need magazines printed on paper? What are we saving? I know the presses are a better class of machine and the ink is more costly, but, we need to send them all to the museum. The kicking and screaming will be loud but we can save the tree now. The thing is most of them have an electronic version in place.
Books have been available in electronic format for years. I read ebooks on my first Palm Pilot. The industry even attempts to prevent books from being placed in electronic format. This is like the railroads fighting the advent of the passenger airline, why does anyone listen? There are something like a million and a half volumes that are electronic today. The biggest hold back is a format war like the VHS vs Beta or IBM vs everybody but Apple battles of the past. Books will all be electronic, everyone knows it is coming, we can save the tree now.
Just one more example of an out mode that proves my point. A couple years ago I purchased this Palm unit that did everything, ebooks, newspapers, email, calendar, contacts, electronic transfers, it even understands hand writing. Now I have a telephone that is about the same size that does all that plus surf the internet, take pictures, make movies, be a GPS locater and there is no end to what it can do. So why do we need news printed on paper?
The question should be, where to buy a kindle electronic reader? The future is electronic, just like on “Star Trek”, what I am waiting for is the transporter. I think I will continue this to include more out modes, if you have any good ones leave me a comment here or on my Internet Business Blog.
There are many prophesies associated with the end of the world. the latest among these was the prediction that apocalypse would strike on May 21, 2012. however, that proved to be a farce. But, if the Mayan calendar is to be believed the world will end on December 21, 2012. the calendar shows no dates after December 21, 2012, therefore people believe that it will indeed be the doomsday. the Mayan civilization dates back to 2000 BC-250 AD. it is noted for developing the only known fully-developed written language of the pre-Columbian Americas, as well as for its art, architecture, and mathematical and astronomical systems. Archaeologists have found remains of Mayan civilisation in Honduras, Guatemala, Northern El Salvador and Mexico. Based on their calculations the Mayans developed their calendar. it is believed that the calculations used in the making of that calendar at that time still holds strong. according to them, a planet will collide with earth and destroy it on December 21, 2011.

It might have already felt, in recent days, as if the apocalypse was coming but Mick Ferry reminds us that we should be putting the actual date in our diaries as 21st December 2012, when Mayan prophecies dictate that the sands of time eventually run out for us.
It so happens that his girlfriend ‘s birthday falls on the same day and so, apart from moving celebrations to the night before, it has set Ferry thinking about contingency plans and how impending doom has prioritised the size of his worries. It
there was 6/6/06, the world was supposed to end in 1980s and much others. Whats the next known "end of the world' date after 2012. I obviously don't believe in none of this stuff but I just like to see the believers reactions when it don't happen. is there ever going to be no more "end of the world" dates?
I suppose someone will come up with another theory of the end date of the world for the next 10 years.
Only God knows the date at which the world will end.
There will always be 'end-of-the-world' dates. And none of them will ever be right.
Some of the dates for you are here, in a Brief History of the Apocalypse:
Are the Mayans always right about predictions? and also will we die in 2012? I heard in the bible everyone bad will die, or either we will be doomed. I havent finished reading the bible yet but is it true?
The Mayans didn't predict that we would all die in 2012, that is a western interpretation and most Mayans will completely disagree with it. an "apocalypse" is a western judo/christian idea. It is believed by the Mayans that 2012 is the end of an era, that a new phase will begin. It is not about everyone, or even anyone, dying. The bible has nothing to do with the Mayans and that's the reason everyone is making this mistake. not related!
The Maya didn't make predictions, so we can't say they were right or wrong about something they didn't say. we will not all die in 2012. The Bible never mentions 2012. It talks about the end times, but does not say when. It does, however, say that no one will know when that is to be. That pretty much eliminates 2012 from consideration.
I read an article about an interview with the chief priest of the Mayan religion today. There are still Mayans, you know, in the area of Yucatan and Chiapas, at the southern end of Mexico. this priest said he wished he'd never heard of this prediction. Their calendar had only so much room on it so they figured it out only so far into the future. If the civilization had lasted longer, they would have figured the calendar out longer into the future. I mean, according to the calendar here on my desk, the world will end on December 31, 2009!
The Bible talks about an apocalypse, but all the references in the old Testament are very vague as to time, and all the ones in the New Testament insist that it would happen during the lives of the people living then! Jesus said over and over, dozens of times, that he would come back within a few decades at most. so I tend to discount the whole idea.
The Book of Revelation, the last book in the Bible, deals with the apocalypse. I challenge -anyone- to read that book and tell me what it means. Even Christians who say they believe every word of the Bible literally will look at Revelation and see symbols and analogies and allegory. when I read explanations of what Revelation means, I have to wonder how these people know these things. I think they're improvising. 8^)
Finally, there have been MANY times in history when people were certain they knew when the world was going to end. I have been through a few of these even just in my lifetime. they were all wrong. In Europe, when the year 1000 approached, thousands of Christians believed that would be the end (because the word 'millenneum' appears in some translations of the Bible). they sold all their belongings and many stood on rooftops expecting to see Jesus coming in the sky. Thousands of them traveled to the Holy Land to greet Jesus there, and they were badly treated by the Arabs, and that was one thing that brought on the Crusades.
The history of the mayans are a mystery. Explorers are amazed what happened to the mayans? There was no war, no records, simply the mayans are gone. Some predict that they are the alien visitors and might come back after the end of the calender which comes on 2012 For reference see the deity in the temple of palenque operating some parts of a spaceship
My favorite answers to this question:
1) Well, not everyone will die. (how about the same number that die every year?)
2) It won't be the end of the World, just a "Change in Consciousness". (Oh, please… do we all have to join hands and sing "Kumbaya" too?)
3) No one knows… we will have to wait and see. (same thing when I ask "Will the Sun rise tomorrow?" No one knows, we will have to wait and see… screw that! I know! 2012 is a HOAX!)
4) The Mayan calendar ended… (says who? The History Channel? Geez. The Long Count calendar rolls over every 394 years. Why should it stop?)
5) The Mayans couldn't predict their extinction at the hands of the Spaniards. (Hello? Mayans are still in the Yucatan, please don't tell them they are extinct, that really ticks them off! also, their empire fell 500 years before the Spanish came to the new world. That is like blaming the fall of the Roman Empire on Nazi Germany.)
Face it. Misinformation is rampant about 2012. Everyone that holds one of the above beliefs…. please report to 2012hoax.org for re-education.
Class dismissed.
I'm pretty sure it won't happen. Mayans said there would be a change, it doesn't mean the destruction of the mankind, In fact, i don't think mayans were so intelligent to predict it. We're more intelligent right now and we don't know anything about it so i think i answered your question. i'm quite calm and everybody in earth should be too. The same was said about 6/6/06 and 12/31/99. 2012 will be a normal year in the gregorian calendar and it WON'T be the last day of earth!! Greets from Spain!! ^^
No. Don't worry about it. not everything in the bible is directly what it's saying; Adam and Eve for example.
And let's say if we are doomed and we die we aren't going to be around to feel bad, so don't worry about it.
It's cool that you are reading the entire bible.
Uh Mayans never said we'd all die in 2012. they calculated their calendar through the biggest cycle it has, and that ends in 2012.
No one thinks we're all going to die in 2012 except really gullible people who believe what scam artists tell them.
No, the Bible is not science or fact, but religion.
No, we will never know when we Jesus will come and judge us. Its crazy though bc ppl are always making new predictions and they are always wrong. so now they are basing it on the mayan calendar for whatever reason and its getting a lot of hype. Personally though, i doubt thats when bc if jesus doesnt want us to know when hes coming then i dont think hes just gonna let someone predict the year for everyone. Hope i helped
Well, the Mayans do not exist as a group of people any more. they have been extinct for a few thousand years. There are people with Mayan heritage but as a group these people have been long gone.
Every culture and religion pretty much has apocolyptic theories and prophecies. The world has been said to have ended many times over the years in my lifetime. we are still here aren't we?
that's more old testament stuff. Everyone had a chance to be non doomed if they repent, even on their death bed.
Mayans and 2012, I guess we will find out. maybe it refers solely to their own language, history, and culture & not the whole world. In which case so little of it has been preserved.
almost everything in the bible…is CRAP. it was written by MAN. and everyone knows..Men are stupid…jk jk but really… dont worry…whats really going to happen in 2012 was mixed up by people…they mayans calander ends yes…but ppl mixed that stpry up with our stallites being wiped out 2012…. we may lose all communication in 2012…but we wont die… people are way to paranoid these days…
Stop buying this bullcrap about the end of the world. It is simply the end of the Galactic "year". just like the Earth revolves around the Sun, the galaxy revolves around the center. It is coming back to the beginning and will start again.
Probably not,remember the bible is 2000 years old.the storys might have changed.now for the mayan calender.the mayans died out in the 1580s.so do you think they would keep adding a year to their Calender?I dont believe we will but we'll find out on december 21 2012
We'll be okay in 2012. It's just a date when the the Mayan calendar ends like our Dec. 31. Even present day Mayans say that 2012 is no big deal.
Are you really reading the bible from front to back? I'm impressed.
Lots of people will die in 2012, just like lots of people die every single year. nobody can predict the future.
There is new doomsday hoax every year, and, obviously, none have been borne out.
I think you have to finish what you are reading now and I am sure you will answers to many of yahoo questions in 2013 Have a nice day
The Mayans didn't say it's the world's end, they said it's the calender's only!!!
no one knows …. we wont neccarrily die tho… they say we might reach a new spiratual level or some natural disasters will happen
If they're right it may be almost as bad as Y2K.
We cant know if it is true or not untill december 21 2012
I totally agree with Mila: just wait and see.
So you think the Mayan cab predict our future do you? Well they sure didn't see the Spanish coming bow did they
For nearly a year, nonagenarian preacher and radio personality Harold Camping of Alameda predicted the world would end May 21. Locusts would blanket the Earth and millions would die while Camping and his flock would rise up to the sky, rendezvous with Jesus, and ascend to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Instead, May 22 happened, Camping postponed the end of the world by five months, and then suffered a debilitating stroke – leaving a huge vacuum in the Rapture market.
The meltdown came at a propitious moment for apocalypse followers. a proliferation of earthquakes, a plague that may or may not be sweeping Brazil, the Greeks, and Kim Kardashian, among other things, may be conspiring to create a Rapture bubble.
In addition to Camping’s revised forecast – the world is definitely going to end Oct. 21 – many Rapture seekers now believe Tuesday’s debt-ceiling deadline signals that the end may be very, very near.
“If the economy goes, that’ll be fertile soil for the Antichrist to take power,” said Todd Strandberg of Little Rock, Ark. “Hitler came out of the Depression. a lot of us believe the Antichrist will use the same steppingstone.”
This means there are only so many days left to get rich. Strandberg, the proprietor of RaptureReady.com – the most popular Rapture-preparedness website in the world – is part of a new generation of entrepreneurs trying to take advantage of Camping’s absence. unlike Camping, the new apocalypse establishment is offering an unprecedented array of doomsday-themed literature, podcasts, survival kits, and other goods and services for navigating the end of times.
‘End of Times’ guide
Jack Van Impe, a televangelist from Troy, Mich., has developed an e-commerce business hawking educational literature such as the “Prophetic Guide to the end of Times” ($14.95) in addition to DVDs like “11:59: The Countdown” (two-discs, $34.95).
Van Impe, who co-runs his ministry and budding apocalypse empire with his wife and fellow prophet, Rexella, is competing for market share with Costa Rica writer Tim McHyde; Alex Dodson, whose “Watchman Radio Hour” enjoys a nationwide audience; and evangelical minister and author Tim LaHaye, who has co-written 16 Judgment Day-inspired novels. according to Cheryl Kerwin, senior marketing manager at Tyndale House Publishers, LaHaye’s “Left Behind” series has sold 63 million copies worldwide.
All are facing a common problem of the Rapture business: They’re making more money than they can spend before the world ends. Keith Preston, owner of Rapture Ready Consulting in Kenton, Ohio – which is completely unrelated to RaptureReady.com, he says – estimates his company grossed $380,000 in 2009 by selling products like screen savers featuring the Red Sea and a smart-phone app for $4.99 that tells you if you’re in a flood zone.
Although sales plummeted to $200,000 in 2010 – the short-lived economic uptick, Rapture sellers say, cast a pall over the sector – Rapture Ready rebounded this year. Preston is at work on an app for everyone who is not Raptured.
“Let’s say 2 million people disappear,” Preston said. “You’ve got doctors and police officers, you have IT guys, writers and politicians. So the problem is, who’s going to do whatever they were doing? You need an app for that.” how he plans to sell it from heaven remains unclear.
Tough competition
Still, Preston is scrambling to compete with a bustling service sector that already encompasses natural-disaster-preparedness outfits, moving and storage companies, and post-apocalyptic survivalists.
Data storage company You’ve been Left behind of Harwich, Mass., is preparing to offer a service that sends the sensitive material of its soon-to-be-Raptured clients to designated contacts and family members. James Rawles, who runs SurvivalBlog.com, says he gets 260,000 unique visitors each week.
There’s even a new genre of chick lit called Rapture Erotica. “Apocalypse Sex: love at the end of the World” ($4.99) focuses on characters who stare down the end of days by, according to its publisher, having “the best sex of their lives.”
The Rapture economy even includes heathens. since most Rapture prophets have traditionally declared pets barred from Heaven, insurance company Eternal Earth-Bound Pets is now offering a 10-year relocation policy. for $135, the company promises to place dogs, cats, bunnies and so forth with a loving family of atheists who have no hope of being saved.
No refunds
Eternal owner Bart Centre, an atheist himself, says he already has 263 clients and expects that figure to jump by 60 or 70 in 2012. he also has a strict no-refunds policy.
“In the remotely absurd chance that the Rapture happens and you’re not Raptured,” Centre says, “you can keep your pet, but you don’t get your money back.”

December 21 2012 on History Chaneel and National Geographic. why are they doing all of these shows about Dec 21 2012? even this show that i thought it was cool called: Apocalypse man. why are they doing all of these shows about the end or apocalypse? Do they now something may happen or just to scare people? also alot of books have been published about 2012. Aslo this web page wich is very intresed: www.december212012.com Im not saying i believe there has been so many "End of the world" predictions and non have come true. Yeah its weird how all of the planets align on that date. yes its weird how the mayan calendar ends on dec 21 2012. Im very confused about this date, there has been tons of people predicting about this dec 212012 and lots that think nothing its going to happen. I think nothing is going to happen people cannot predict the end of the world. But i mean we are in the 21 century and the bible says there are going to be great changes. which i think we are seen right know with all of these earthquakes,Tsunamis. Global warming is rising Hope nothing happens but you never know this world is full of mysteries
the mayan calender ended on 2012 because they didn't know when the world would end . the bible has been re written many of times and if the world does end it's because man kind is destructive
The do it because really dumb people will believe that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012. oh, sorry, Twiggy.
Anyway… the Mayans only mentioned 2012 once and that was on a pillar in a second-rate archeological site. think about it. If the Mayans were privy to the knowledge of the end of the world, wouldn't they have mentioned it a wee bit more?
The History Channel and National Geographic are whoring for those sheeple that listen to Rush Limburger and Jerry Falwell and believe just about any crap that anyone says. These are mostly the same people that thought it would be nice to have a beer with George Bush.
i have heard the 2012 is going to be doomsday. i also heard about a thing called new world order. is anything of this real or will it take effect in 2012.
I'm not a believer in such things, but it does make for entertaining conversation. actually, the end of the world on 2012 is considered by many experts to be a misunderstood myth. Apocalypse (Greek: “lifting of the veil” or “revelation”) refers to a disclosure or cosmic awareness. Many view this transformation as a new birth of our age. the Hopi and Mayan predictions weren't concerned about the end of life, but rather a kind of transition, or the maturity of the age.
I also heard the year 2000 was going to be the end of the world. Why do people keep asking about 2012? a movie comes out explaining the end of the Aztec calendar and now it's prediction time. the answer to your question is the "nobody knows except the Father." God's day will come like " a thief in the night" when we least expect it that is. If we actually knew that date would having any faith in God make any sense?
jesus christ admitted that not even he knew when the world would end, so no one knows except the father.
but from all indications and promises in the bible the earth and animals and trees and humans will be here forever and ever.
the end of this world or Satan's system of government commerce and religion is near. god has let it exist just long enough to let us learn we can not rule this planet justly. he will rescue us and the earth. the mayan calender ended because it had gone so far, then the culture was destroyed and there was no one else to add to the calender. so much wisdom was lost to the hate and prejudice of the savage invaders do not worry our loving creator will not just wipe us and our beautiful home from existence,
as far as this new world order led by evil selfish men it is a pipe dream of theirs. they will try to subject gate all mankind, but they will not succeed.
the governments of thIS evil system ans their whore (religion) and the greedy system of commerce will go , but the earth will stand forever.
see isiah: Ecce isia, mathew , revelation psm, all atest to this.
2012 and the New World Order are myths. the 2012 thing is media hype based on a vague reference in an ancient Mayan calendar to 'change'. As for the New World Order, there is no country on Earth that can get its own act together and none of them trust their neighbors. So who's going to sort out that chaos: nobody. it might be a good thing if it DID happen, but don't hold your breath.
Philosophers do not know how to predict like astrologers.
There are of course numerous talks and rumors about it. One has to patiently wait and watch.
Well..no,people think it is just because the anchent indian callender ended at the year 2012…but mabe they just decided to stop,but if you want to get religous?…then e-mail me at …"amparaneladio@ymail.com
On December 20th 2012 there will be rioting in the streets when the people realize the world did not end and there are only five shopping days till Xmas.
ownly time wll tell because nobody can tell the furture the wold may end just not a year from now
Its real man…the world will end 2012….Mayans have never been wrong on their predictions….they even have predicted every single eclipse and comet weve seen…crazy huh?
