A friend told me the world is going to end in Dec 21st 2012 because the Mayan Calendar ends. What is all this about? Personally, I don't think it will happen. The world was supposed to end several times already. Please give me an accuarate summary of this prediction.

Even though we are currently experiencing an increase in solar flare activity as well as a migration of our magnetic poles, I don't expect the world will end because of this. At worst, we may witness more deaths due to stronger hurricanes and earthquakes; possibly massive tsunamis if we experience a sudden pole shift. The Mayans do not expect life to end, at the end of their calendar, only life as we know it; even so, it could always end if man does something to causes it to end. here is a little summary about the Mayan people and their predictions.

The Mayan Indians regard their beliefs as both a science and a religion. Their discoveries are not done in a lab but rather by tapping into the cosmos via the mind. Through the extensive use of meditation, they are able to discover and track planetary movements as well as space anomalies such as black holes. They used this information to construct a calendar so accurate that no present day calendar can rival its accuracy. They also use this information to predict future events.

According to some Mayans, this date marks the end of the long count of their calendar; Set to end on a winter solstice (12-21-12). On this date, our Solar system will be center aligned with the Milky Way's equator. our sun will be centered in a position called "The Tree of Life", as it does every 25,800 years. we will have exited the forth dimension and entered the fifth dimension. This date also marks the end of the Mayan "Great Cycle" of the long count, which is equivalent to 5125 years. we exit the age of Pisces and enter the age of Aquarius.

In this position, unusually violent sun spot activity will cause a pole shift. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods will run ramped. Significant loss of life will occur. Earths magnetic field will temporarily collapse. Humans will be exposed to a cosmic energy that will facilitate enlightenment. in this state of higher consciousness, we will recognize that all matter, plant, animal, mineral are bound as one. This realization will mark the end of wars for a time. People will be able to connect to the essence of god (vibrating energy) like only the most enlightened can.

The date marks a goal to be reached. Evil forces will make every effort to keep humanity from reaching the date. these evil forces are those entrenched in the third dimension, in the Material world. They have no desire to leave this age and wish to continue exploiting and endangering all life for material gain.

Wars just prior to this date could be most devastating, with a loss of as much as 2/3 of our population anticipated. The resulting man made environmental damage could make life inhospitable for those who survive.

Humans have freewill, Man's future is not set yet, nor predictable:
STRIVE FOR PEACE
