Happy thought for today.

We have just learned that the earth is beginning to slowly tip on its axis. When it reaches a certain point, it will roll completely over. It will take approx. 3 seconds to complete the roll. It has been proven that it has done this before. When it does it again, the oceans and the lakes will spill over the land in 100 feet-plus waves. Islands will sink into the sea. Giant trees will be rooted up and slung about like toothpicks. Giant boulders will plumment down mountain sides and roll at 100 miles an hour. Mud and rubble will cover everything, choking all life to death.
The only people that will survive will be the ones in the space station. They will have no way of getting back to the dead planet and wouldn't if they could. They will linger on for two to three years, eating each other as they slowly die off. As the last one dies, humanity as we know it will cease. http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

It is all to do with the Mayan calendar and 2012.


2012 in brief


The Mayan civilization of Central America was and is the most advanced in relation to time-science knowledge. Their main calendar is the most accurate on the planet. It has never erred. The Mayan fifth world finished in 1987. The sixth world starts in 2012. So we are currently "between worlds"
1. Humanity and Planet Earth are currently going through a huge change or shift in consciousness and reality perception.
2. The Mayan civilization of Central America was and is the most advanced in relation to time-science knowledge. Their main calendar is the most accurate on the planet. It has never erred. They actually have 22 calendars in total, covering the many timing cycles in the Universe and Solar System. Some of these calendars are yet to be revealed.
3. The Mayan fifth world finished in 1987. The sixth world starts in 2012. So we are currently "between worlds". This time is called the "Apocalypse" or revealing. This means the real truth will be revealed. It is also the time for us to work through "our stuff" individually and collectively.
4. The Mayan sixth world is actually blank. This means it is up to us, as co-creators, to start creating the new world and civilization we want now.
5. The Mayans also say that by 2012

we will have gone beyond technology as we know it.
we will have gone beyond time and money.
we will have entered the fifth dimension after passing through the fourth dimension
Planet Earth and the Solar System will come into galactic synchronization with the rest of the Universe.
Our DNA will be "upgraded" (or reprogrammed) from the centre of our galaxy. (Hunab Ku)
Everybody on this planet is mutating. Some are more conscious of it than others. But everyone is doing it.
6. In 2012 the plane of our Solar System will line up exactly with the plane of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. This cycle has taken 26,000 years to complete. Virgil Armstrong also says that two other galaxies will line up with ours at the same time. A cosmic event!
7. Time is speeding up (or collapsing). For thousands of years the Schumann Resonance or pulse (heartbeat) of Earth has been 7.83 cycles per second, The military have used this as a very reliable reference. However, since 1980 this resonance has been slowly rising. It is now over 12 cycles per second! This means there is the equivalent of less than 16 hours per day instead of the old 24 hours.
8. During the Apocalypse or the time "between worlds" many people will be going through many personal changes. The changes will be many and varied. It is all part of what we came here to learn or experience. Examples of change could be- relationships coming to an end, change of residence or location, change of job or work, shift in attitude or thinking etc."

This might help us understand.


No one knows the day or hour of the final day, only God in heaven. Not the angels or even the son of man knows the day.

I know biblical references but anybody who claims to know the end and have been predicting an end that has never come.

As far as the calander ending 2012. Another theory is that it is a beginning of a new age. Whatever that may bring.

This will clarify the ideas about December 21st, 2012.


for the conspiricy nuts, it is the date that the government "time machine" made using results from the Philadlphia experiments can not get past and show clear results.

It is the date of a possible UFO invasion by the UFO beleivers in some circles ( related also to the beleived dimensional travel done in the above experiment who related it to another dimension instead of time travel.

The Mayan calander cycles and all cycles end on that date, thus showing that all things are completed.

I still have plenty of time to make my sign to go down down with
* repent the end is near** perhaps I can do a internet sign instead.


Who knows what will ACTUALLY happen on 12-21-12. Maybe nothing at all. Or maybe something wonderful. Or maybe it will be the 'end' of the world as you know it. Though, I don't think it will be END of the world in a literal sense. But who knows.

One of those, probably.

I can't remember the "Harmonic Convergence". Can anyone here.....?


The Harmonic Convergence was a loosely organized new age (http://www.answers.com/topic/new-age) spiritual event which occurred on August 16 (http://www.answers.com/topic/august-16) and August 17 (http://www.answers.com/topic/august-17), 1987 (http://www.answers.com/topic/1987), when groups of people gathered in various sacred sites and "mystical" places all over the world to usher in a new era, a date based primarily on the Maya calendar (http://www.answers.com/topic/maya-calendar), but also on interpretations of European (http://www.answers.com/topic/europe) and Asian (http://www.answers.com/topic/asia) astrology (http://www.answers.com/topic/astrology).
The Harmonic Convergence was supposed to be a global awakening to love (http://www.answers.com/topic/love) and unity through divine transformation. It was initiated in 1987 by Jose Arguelles (http://www.answers.com/topic/jose-arguelles). According to his interpretation of Maya cosmology (an interpretation held as completely unfounded by Mayanist (http://www.answers.com/topic/mayanist) scholarship), this date was the end of twenty-two cycles of 52 years each, or 1144 years in all. The twenty-two cycles were divided into thirteen "heaven (http://www.answers.com/topic/heaven)" cycles, which began in AD (http://www.answers.com/topic/anno-domini) 843 (http://www.answers.com/topic/843) and ended in 1519 (http://www.answers.com/topic/1519), when the nine "hell (http://www.answers.com/topic/hell-2)" cycles began, ending 468 years later in AD (http://www.answers.com/topic/anno-domini) 1987 (http://www.answers.com/topic/1987).
The Harmonic Convergence was (according to Arguelles) to be the end of these "hell" cycles and the beginning of a new age of universal peace, as supposedly foretold in Maya prophecies. To supporters of the concept, the signs indicated that a "major energy shift" was about to occur, a turning point in Earth's collective karma (http://www.answers.com/topic/karma) and dharma (http://www.answers.com/topic/dharma). Believers said this energy was powerful enough to change the global perspective of man from one of conflict (http://www.answers.com/topic/conflict) to one of co-operation (http://www.answers.com/topic/cooperation-3). Actress (http://www.answers.com/topic/actor) and author (http://www.answers.com/topic/author) Shirley MacLaine (http://www.answers.com/topic/shirley-maclaine) called it a "window of light", allowing access to higher realms of awareness.
According to Arguelles and others, the Harmonic Convergence also began the final 26-year countdown to the end of the Mayan Long Count (http://www.answers.com/topic/maya-calendar) in 2012 (http://www.answers.com/topic/2012), which would be the "end of history" and the beginning of a new 5,125-year cycle. All the evils of the modern world — war, materialism, violence, abuses, unjustice, governmental abusive power, etc. — would end with the birth of the 6th Sun and the 5th Earth on December 21 (http://www.answers.com/topic/december-21), 2012. (Note that there is no evidence that the ancient Maya (http://www.answers.com/topic/maya) believed that the world would end at this point.)

Philosophical implications

Supporters of these esoteric prophecies maintained that the Harmonic Convergence would usher in a five-year period of Earth's "cleansing", where many of the planet's "false structures of separation" would collapse. As it turned out, the late 1980s and early 1990s did indeed see some events of significant geopolitical shift, such as the breakup of the Soviet Union (http://www.answers.com/topic/union-of-soviet-socialist-republics), the reunification of West and East Germany, and the ending of apartheid (http://www.answers.com/topic/history-of-south-africa-in-the-apartheid-era) in South Africa (http://www.answers.com/topic/south-africa). Some believers in new age philosophy held these events and others as being indicative that a major cosmological shift had taken place.[citation needed]
However, a great number of wars, atrocities, famines and suppressions continued apace, such as the massacres in Rwanda (http://www.answers.com/topic/rwanda), the ongoing disputes of the Middle East (http://www.answers.com/topic/middle-east), civil war in the Congo (http://www.answers.com/topic/congo-country-zaire), war in the Balkans (http://www.answers.com/topic/balkans), and war in Iraq (http://www.answers.com/topic/iraq).
Thus, given the multiplicity of anticipated outcomes of the Harmonic Convergence, its effect on subsequent world history is questionable. Effects on individuals, of course, varies with their experiences.

Activities

People began arriving on August 15 (http://www.answers.com/topic/august-15), 1987 (http://www.answers.com/topic/1987) at sites such as Mount Shasta (http://www.answers.com/topic/mount-shasta), Stonehenge (http://www.answers.com/topic/stonehenge), Bolinas, California (http://www.answers.com/topic/bolinas-california), Haleakala, and Crestone, Colorado (http://www.answers.com/topic/crestone-colorado), as well as Dunn Meadow in Bloomington, IN, which were believed to be "focus locations". Events began on August 16 (http://www.answers.com/topic/august-16), culminating on the convergence itself on the 17th with prayer (http://www.answers.com/topic/prayer), song (http://www.answers.com/topic/song), meditation (http://www.answers.com/topic/meditation), dance (http://www.answers.com/topic/dance), and rituals (http://www.answers.com/topic/ritual). If nothing else, this highly publicized event brought the New Age religion to public awareness and popularized quartz crystals (http://www.answers.com/topic/charmstone), channelling (http://www.answers.com/topic/channeling), and theories about reincarnation (http://www.answers.com/topic/reincarnation) and extraterrestrial life (http://www.answers.com/topic/extraterrestrial).
According to some in the New Age community, the Harmonic Convergence also sparked the birth of sacred travel, or metaphysical tourism.[1] (http://www.answers.com/topic/harmonic-convergence#wp-_note-0)

Cultural references

A large number of news stories, television shows, and other media made frequent references to Harmonic Convergence during the two years prior to August 17, 1987. It was sometimes called the "Moronic Convergence" by its detractors and skeptics such as Zo as well as Bloomington performance art duo Godya E.
In 2007, a rumor began circulating on the Internet that the true reason for the spiritual event was the birth of Florida Gators (http://www.answers.com/topic/florida-gators) quarterback Tim Tebow (http://www.answers.com/topic/tim-tebow) on August 14, 1987.
The 2006 (http://www.answers.com/topic/2006) fantasy novel (http://www.answers.com/topic/fantasy-literature), Three Days to Never (http://www.answers.com/topic/three-days-to-never), takes place around this event, with the event itself being of some importance in the story.

2012

In 2007 a small movement will begin to organize a second “Harmonic Convergence” in the year 2012 (http://www.answers.com/topic/2012). 2012 will be the true end of the mayan calendar. The purpose of this convergence will be to gather a sizable proportion of individuals in precise spots on the globe, in hopes of creating as many safe havens as possible in the event of widespread disaster.[citation needed]
The album Big Generator (http://www.answers.com/topic/big-generator) by YES (http://www.answers.com/topic/yes-band) includes a song titled Holy Lamb which is dedicated to Harmonic Convergence. Jon Anderson (http://www.answers.com/topic/jon-anderson), the lead vocalist is an adherent of New Age (http://www.answers.com/topic/new-age) thinking.

Crustal Displacement is a plausible hypothesis

A shift taking 3 seconds however is batshit crazy.
