Articles

For a publication with the reach of the Daily Mail, suggesting that some people are considering killing themselves – as a response to the 2012 meme – is irresponsible. It will almost certainly cause some additional people to make such a consideration.

There is nothing new in the article at all – just a mish mash of articles that have appeared over the years.

Opinion

Catastrophic predictions for 2012, and/or the end of the Mayan Calendar, will be easy to judge when the day comes. Either something terrible (and obvious) occurs, or there will be nothing. Some might claim that from that day forth there will be an increase in natural disasters, but they were already probably proclaiming that for the period of now anyway.

New age predictions are much different, for the changes might be hard to detect, especially for non-believers.

Carl Calleman believes that the Mayan Calendar ended on October 28, 2011. Here’s some of how he describes that end, and a new beginning:

Many now typically report that they experience a flattening of time, an end to time acceleration and as a result a great calmness. The end to the acceleration of time is even experienced as a deceleration and some have reached so deep into their own presence that the term “future’’ is starting to loose its previous meaning. The future is no longer a place to get to. With the completion of the Ninth wave we potentially already have direct access to all the guidance we need. This shifted experience of time all seems understandable given that was has happened is that the directed nine evolutionary processes from seed to mature have now been completed. For those that have a conscious relationship to the tree of life the new experience of time will continue to deepen also after this shift. As we know from all previous experience of the shifting energies of the Mayan calendar it always takes time until their external manifestations become visible.

…It was in fact clear to me already then that a large segment of humanity that had been born into the materialist Seventh wave was so shut off from spiritual experiences that they were not responsive to waves which carried a spiritual light. It was then also possible that they would resist the changes to come as those could be understood from the Mayan calendar leading up to 2011. People that have been born into the eighth wave starting in 1999 are in fact today not yet teenagers and those born into the ninth wave have not yet learned to talk. Even if you generously include people that were born into the pre-wave (starting in 1986) of the Galactic Underworld they would still be less than 25 years old and outside of all major decision making that has shaped the course of our civilization since.

So, it could be a generation before the people born in the appropriate waves will be making their mark on society…
