Scholars from various disciplines have dismissed the idea of catastrophe in 2012.
The apocalyptic forecasts are considered as pseudoscience by astronomers and scientists. NASA compares 2012 doomsday fears to the approaching end of the millenium namely the Y2K..There were books, some scary, some supposedly prophetic that an immense cosmic wave will change everything- for good or evil. Some forecasts were interpretations of Nostradamus quatrains. Some authors warned of catastrophic floods, earthquakes, famine and a shift of the Earth's magnetic poles, and other calamities. January 1,2000 came and went - so much for the Y2K scare.
There will always be " end- of- world" predictions. Backtrack to March 10,1982, a prediction of the Jupiter Effect, a cataclysm that never occurred. Do people hope for the world to end? Many of the proposed alignments or theories have not been accepted by scholars.
Eschatology:
Enter the word: eschatology, made up of two Greek words " eschatos" meaning last or final and "logos" meaning word study. Eschatology is a branch of Christian theology that deals with biblical studies of end of times prophecies, events like the Rapture, Second Coming of Christ and the Tribulation, Millenial Kingdoms and Future Judgment. Primary books in the bible on end of times prophecy are the book of Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelation. Eschatology also deals with the study of what follows the endtime.
Is there a new awakening on December 21, 2012? This phenomenon includes a range of eschatological beliefs of a transformative and cataclysmic events on this day. Believers base this proposal on the Mayan Long Count calendar which is said to be the end date of a 5,125 year-long cycle, which includes astronomical and numerological formula related to this date.
New Age interpretation of 2012 believes that humanity may undergo positive and spiritual transformation. Believers in a new awakening are now consciously trying to make this world a better place through good thoughts, words and deeds. With global consciousness, it is possible to break through the barriers and tear down the walls of indifference in our global society.
At sunrise on December 21, 2012 - for the first time in 26,000 years - the Sun rises to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic, describing in the sky a great cross of stars and planets. This cosmic cross is considered to be an embodiment of the Sacred Tree, The Tree of Life - a tree remembered in all the world's spiritual traditions.
This alignment will open a channel of cosmic energy that will flow through the earth, cleansing it and all that dwells upon it, raising it to a higher level of vibration.
The Fifth Sun and The Return of Consciousness
The Mayan calendars are sophisticated and with a vast comprehension of time, seasons and cycles.
It must be considered that the Mayans and other spiritual traditions understand that evolutionary energies from the Galactic Centre vary in their quantity, quality and properties over time. Hence, the division of earth, air, fire, water and ether with associated cosmic calendars and cycles that take this into account. The following is titled Message From the Mayan Elders of The Eagle Clan, Guatemala and we are told by Don Pascual, Wise elder of the Mam Maya:
The Mayan prophecies speak to us of the changes towards the fifth Ajaw (fifth sun), on the famous date of December 21, 2012. This date begins the period of 5,200 years. This is a cycle of wisdom, harmony, peace, love, of consciousness and the return of the natural order. It is not the end of the world as many from outside of the Mayan tradition have misinterpreted it to be.
The first cycle (Ajaw/sun) was a feminine energy and its element was fire.
The second cycle (Ajaw/sun) was of masculine energy, and its element was earth.
The third cycle (Ajaw/sun) was a feminine energy and its element was air.
The fourth cycle (Ajaw/sun) is a masculine energy and its element is water.
The fifth cycle (Ajaw/sun) will be a fusion of both feminine and masculine energies. It will be a transition where there won't be any more confrontations between the polarities. It will bring balance and there won't be hierarchy of one over the other. Both energies will support each other. It is why this period is called one of harmony, the kingdom of love and the return of consciousness. Its element will be the ether.
This fifth Ajaw/sun comes with the power of transmutation. To reach this state of supreme harmony, it will be necessary to create the balance of the forces of the light and the dark. This is where the importance of the call of the Mam elder comes into place - the quest for the unity, the return of the natural order. This call is urgent in the face of the prophetic times in which we are living - principally for the spiritual guides and conscious people. At this time, we need to unite and create a belt of light that will contrast with the negativity.
I spent hours researching information on 2012. NASA has many articles on all aspects of 2012, for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge as to what to expect on 2012. Technology makes it easier to search for information. I still believe in backing my research with the printed word along with on-line articles.
