Haha!!! That is actually more a prophecy of doom for some people.

That is I think part of the problem of people wanting something to happen... because life seems so dull.

I often think though.. .that a teenager or young person who is excited about something catastrophic to happen wont cope very well if it does. They see the hollywood cool video game side of it.

I mean... it would be a different matter is there was a comet or massive earthquake and they watched their loved ones die... or had to endure a friend dying and watch as their intestines spill out all over the concrete because a breeze block fell on them. Or their parents being burned alive... or their sister or brother being decapitated and crying for their mamma or pappa.

This is the reality of a tragedy happening. But it would be so cool for a 'change'....

Grow up and accept life for what it is.

Very true Bedeekin. I think a lot of people are just having fun with the idea but they really don't think anything catastrophic will happen, though I suppose many young people don't realize catastrophic events take place every day but as long as they aren't directly effected by it everything is okay. I still have hope that the human race will change for the better but I know it will not happen over night and that we are a far ways off. We have to keep making the most of every day and not looking forward to future events that will make everything better.

To be fair, the Mayans were probably talking about the only part of the world they knew of (theirs), so can't say much till 21st is over in Central America / Mexico.

Although I am also not convinced that we with certainty understand how their calender translates into ours, so it is still all suposition upon suposition.

Apparently we can translate the end of the Mayan Long Count to 11:11 GMT
Not quite sure how they worked it out to the minute, but GMT is my time zone, so I'll let you all know if I die.  :-D

Most likely, anything of this type that 'hits' the planet... chances are very slim that anyone will see it coming until it was too late anyway.
There's so much crap flying around out there, it's impossible to track it all.

It's all bullcrap! The Mayans weren't wrong because they didn't say anything.. they just had a calendar that ran out. Probably an indication of how clever they weren't.

evolution/ascension is a gradual process.. its not something that suddenly happens in a designated date..
Title: Re: COUNTDOWN
Post by: Bedeekin on December 21, 2012, 01:36:42
But please please please... we/you aren't attributing this to 2012 are you?

It's just evolution... it's been going on for ever.

This is like someone prophesying a mountain is going to collapse on a certain date... then when it doesn't happen them saying... aaaah... but natural erosion will destroy it over a period of 24 million years.

Hey, heres a spanner in the works.
The dinosaurs lasted millions of years and evolved into varied types. Their calendar ran out and a piece of rock saw to that.
We're getting there too. I hope our rock comes from Blackpool UK ...
Ok at what time GMT do we put on our crash hats lol.

QuoteIt's all bullcrap! The Mayans weren't wrong because they didn't say anything.. they just had a calendar that ran out. Probably an indication of how clever they weren't.

Well mainly the Mayans were great astronomers, so their calender describes primarily astronomical events; the long count corresponds to the length of a "precesion" of the equinoxes cycle, where the equinoxes shift ever so slightly in date over centuries. I think they placed some significance at the beginings and ends of major cycles of their calender, so in that sense they did say something- that particular date was signifcant to them. Now significant how? There is much less available to figure that out. And as I said before, I don't believe they know with certainty when that date even does translate into our calenders.

But again, the calender is about astronomical events, and the sorts of people who care about those not for just their own sakes are pretty much only astrologers. So unless you put stock in astrology, this idea was probably never for you anyhow.

http://www.december212012.com/CDC.htm

"There are a number of December 21 2012 countdown clocks on the web, and they vary in accuracy from a few minutes to several hours or more. Many of these timers depend on the accuracy of your own computers internal clock. While others do not allow for man made time variations such as leap years, international time zones and daylight savings time.

There can only be one Official Countdown Timer
and we have it"

Apparently... there is no alignment either.

Isnt it earth... the sun... and the centre of the galaxy? The sun between earth and galactic central point?

It should line up towards Sagittarius. That's the centre roughly.

I woke up and thought for certain there should have been a time change over the night, I woke up an hour earlier than normal and every time I looked at the clock I thought it should have been an hour later.

Some people have no power from the rain/wind. That's all I've got to contribute so far from EST..

 The one thing this Mayan Calendar did achieve is it made a mass public aware of something "outside the box", outside of their normal existence or "comfort zone".

For a second people everywhere in the World, regardless of race, color or creed, thought, "what if", if only for a brief second. That's exactly what it takes to change the World, people opening their eyes a little wider.

Remember "baby steps"!  :-)

Greetings all.
And Happy end of the Mayan calendar day to all!  :-D
Actually I am in agreement with the majority here in that I find the end of the Mayan calendar much less interesting than the interpretation of that event by some people to be the end of the world/catastrophy etc.
There is no known historical or archeological reason for such an interpretation and we can then, hopefully, move on to more important events.

I found this comment on YouTube and I knew this would happen to the believers.

"]well...all 12.21.2012 has brought me is sadness. Sadness because I got left behind. It's 11:20 and I feel like a fool. No ascension for me. I need some sort of proof that changes are coming otherwise its time for me to say goodbye to this world. The one thing Im certain of is I dont belong in a world of corruption and dishonesty. Im tired of getting bonked over, I cant just turn around and bonk somebody else over to compensate for it. If youre for real, prove it... NOW"

The problem is that no body has "step out of the box". All they've done is step into another belief system thinking there eyes are opened and out of the box only to find that nothing has changed. This poor person will suffer now and millions alike may end there life's because they don't want to be in this world anymore. I'm so glad I got out of the 2012 cult when I studied scriptures of the world.

Some people haven't 'stepped out of the box'... 'nobody' is a very sweeping statement.....

"All they've done is step into another belief system thinking there eyes are opened and out of the box only to find that nothing has changed. This poor person will suffer now and millions alike may end there life's because they don't want to be in this world anymore."

let them. There's nothing anyone can do... besides.. its cruel to say it but maybe this is actually a natural selection for those who will never change.

I agree with this. Today I heard conversations where people were talking about spiritual/enlightening things, just to have the others say "Yeah right, just like the Mayan Calendar thing".

People everywhere just got a great reason to justify their ignorance!  :-(

It's a sad day for Enlightenment.

On the flip side, everyone is doing the best they can do with what they have available to them.
People will come about their spiritual side when it's right for them to do so... until that point, it will always be regarded by them as "just like that Mayan calendar thing".  :)

Some people might make a breakthrough in this life time... some might take a few more to do it.  But they will eventually.

Very true Xanth. But, it just made it a lot harder to break that barrier!

Edit: Funny story at my Mall Chrismas Kiosk today. A woman comes up and says "What's with all the Dragons, what do they represent, why do you have them here"? I turned and looked at her and said "So you may ask that question". This puzzled her even more, so I said "If even for a second you thought that they might have been real and roaming the Earth at some point in History, then I have achieved my goal"
She then turned around and walked away even more puzzled. I have a feeling she will be back again someday asking what i meant by that, lol.
