Here’s an interesting online Mayan Calendar Converter from C. Hartley, Director of the Ernest B. Wright Observatory at the Department of Physics at Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY.

I suggest you experiment with it and enter 21 December 2012 and see what happens.

Mayan Calendar Spurs End-Of-The-World Debate : NPR

“Man flees in terror from the floods
And kills, and rapes and lies in blood
And spilling blood by mankinds hands
Will stain and bitter many lands

The dragon’s tail is but a sign
For mankind’s fall and man’s decline.
And before this prophecy is done
I shall be burned at the stake, at one
My body singed and my soul set free
You think I utter blasphemy!
You’re wrong. These things have come to me
This prophecy will come to be.”

“Apocalypticism rises and falls with economic and political conditions on the ground,” said Stephen Prothero, chairman of the religion department at Boston University. “Give a culture some leisure time and excess income and they’ll forget about the end of the world pretty fast. But mass an army at the border, and prophesies of the end of times will spike just as quickly.” While the Mayans aren’t normally known as major players on the religious scene, beliefs in the end of the world, or the world to come, are common themes across most major faith traditions. “Our fears about the end of the world are fairly universal,” Prothero said. “What changes is the form those fears take.”

“How easy his (Gorbachev) task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet in the universe. We’d forget all the little differences that we have between our countries …”
A quote from Reagan after meeting with Gorbachev. Dec. 4, 1985.

After reading a story on CNN about how there are a percentage of people who still believe that we did not land on the Moon, I felt I had to set the record straight. Here are a few facts:

The Breatharians and those who practice Inedia do not go far enough. We were born from Dark Matter, during an immense Solar Flare aeons ago (And the kind which will destroy the Earth in 2012 – if Planet X doesn’t get here first.). We lived, free and happy, needing only sunlight for sustenance, and having all of space in which to roam. Then a few evil amongst us mixed anti-matter into our sunlight. Anti-matter doesn’t destroy our kind, it just makes us feel negative about things. When we were feeling our most negative, they convinced us to chain ourselves to this planet, and taught us the unecessary, but hard to break, habits of eating, sleeping, breathing, needing water, etc.

The claims for 21 December 2012 cover a lot of ground. They range from nuclear holocaust to Harmonic Convergence of cosmic energy flowing through the earth, cleansing it and raising it to a higher level of vibration, and along the way they include the death of two-thirds of humanity and the north and south poles will split – you get the picture.

But there are two problems with this.

First, when a calendar comes to the end of a cycle, it just rolls over into the next cycle. In our Western society, every year 31 December is followed, not by the End of the World, but by 1 January. So 13.0.0.0.0 in the Mayan calendar will be followed by 0.0.0.0.1 – or good-ol 22 December 2012, with only a few shopping days left to Christmas.And the second problem is that it is always remarkably difficult to make predictions, especially about the future, and things that havent happened yet.

Some fear that the end of the Mayan Calendar in 2012 means the end of the world. Others predict a new more spiritual age. And then, there are the more moderates saying it’ll be the end of the world “as we know it.” And, now all this talk about Sarah Palin running for President in 2012. What does this say to you?

Is Sarah Palin just a distraction from what we should really be concerned about?

The Mandaeans: Secret UFO and extraterrestrial wisdom

By: Michael Cohen m.cohen@allnewsweb.com

With all the talk about Nibiru, 2012 and UFOs it is amazing that many doing the talking have never heard of the Mandaeans, really amazing.  It is like knowing all about Jesus and never having heard of the Jews. In fact it is amazing that Jews, Muslims and Christians have hardly heard of these people, considering they, in all likelihood, are the possessors of the religion and heritage that gave birth to all of the three monotheistic religions and they are still around to tell their story even if no one wants to hear it.  So unknown is this grouping that even spell-check on Microsoft Word doesn’t recognise their name: yet none of this should diminish their incredible importance…
