is anyone familiar with prophetic statements regarding the year twenty twelve. i have recently come across very unclear comments about this year.
being a spiritualist i don't find adverse statements regarding the future
in anyway alarming but believe in finding out as much information as
possible
as spiritualists i believe if we take life responsibly there is nothing to be afraid of does anyone have any comments to make or any knowledge of
the 2012 prophetic statments
late starter.:)
First, let me say that I think that it is very important not be afraid of what the future holds. Prophecies can be a bit scary and they can easily consume us. IMHO, it is best just to love now, and let tomorrow look after itself.
That being said, there is no Mayan prophecy that states that the world will come to an end on 21 December 2012. Many texts, movies and TV documentaries are just cashing in on the popularity of the hype surrounding the myth and dis-information concerning this date. Especially, since it is getting closer.
However, 21 December 2012 has been calculated as the date the Long Count calendar, used by the Maya, completes its 13th B'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's starting point. The starting point having been calculated to be equivalent to 11 August 3114 BC in the Gregorian calendar.
To give just a little background to the Mayan Long Count Calendar, consider the following:
1 day = 1 K'in
20 days = 20 K'in, also called 1 Winal
360 days = 18 Winal, also called 1 Tun
7,200 days = 20 Tun, also called 1 K'atun (approximately 20 years)
144,000 days = 20 K'atun, also called 1 B'ak'tun (approximately 400 years)
So every 144,000 days is one B'ak'tun.
According to the Maya there will be a B'ak'tun ending on 21 December 2012.
This is a significant event being that it is the end of the 13th, 400 Tun period. According to the Maya, after 13 B'ak'tuns, or an era of 5,125 years, the cycle repeats itself, going back to counting 13 more B'ak'tuns.
On 22 December 2012 it will be the beginning of the second 13 B'ak'tun era of 5,125 years, with the starting of a new B'ak'tun of a 400 Tun period, but not the end of the world.
The equivalent ending dates of the last 12 B'ak'tun cycles on the Mayan Long Count calendar were:
11 August 3114 BC (beginning of cycle)
13 November 2720 BC
16 February 2325 BC
21 May 1931 BC
23 August 1537 BC
26 November 1143 BC
27 February 748 BC
3 June 354 BC
4 September 41 AD
9 December 435 AD
13 March 830 AD
15 June 1224 AD
18 September 1618 AD
There is an incomplete inscription on a B'aakal Emblem Glyph on a Stela at the Mayan city of El Tortuguero in Chiapas, Mexico that records the equivalent 21 December 2012 B'ak'tun ending date.
The date is also found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are calculated.
However, Maya Stela occasionally show dates beyond 2012.
For example, in the Mayan city of Tikal, there is a Stela with the date equivalent to 21 October 4772 AD. The Mayan King called Pacal, of the city of Palenque predicted that on this date, the 80th Calendar Round anniversary of his accession will be celebrated, suggesting he did not believe the world would end in 2012, but continue at least until the year 4772.
What great information about the Mayan calendar.
For me I believe that our planet is going through immense shifts and changes. The planet itself is reacting to the way we have abused it over the years. Using its resources without thought to the future. And now the planet is reacting with earthquakes and hurricanes etc. I believe we are moving into a phase of new awareness where the old world, as we know it will crumble. This is happening just now with the financial uncertainties in the world. What is happening is the old world is falling away. From that a new world will emerge.
I do not believe that 2012 will be the end of the world but a moving into a new phase where people will start to live in cooperation with each other. I have a great vision for a planet where we help each other and live in harmony.
This is my vision.

We are also going to remember how to commune with Mother Earth and how to listen to her, and that also includes all the animals that walk upon her.
Our forgetfulness has allowed us to abuse our Earth Mother for all this time - this I hope will change as we become consciously aware of her and hher needs.
