I still stick by the fact that people should have a desire to change in a positive sense anyway, not to wait for significant dates, astrological happenings or otherwise. It seems like some people just need an extra hand in that regard.
Haha, you know? Funny thing. My dad has recently started forcing the family to go to church every single Sunday (and sometimes more) and do "religious chores" that I've never even heard of, simply because he believes that the world will end in 2012 and he's afraid of going to Hell. -_-
I stick right next to you, Sybilla. But honestly, (and my apologies for echoing others) I also think that the only reason we are going to see change on that
specific
date is because so many people are investing energy into it, that something will just happen. I mean, sure the New Agey stuff and sudden interest in Buddhist/Hindu ideals are on the rise, but personally a lot of it has struck me as fake or flawed in some way, yet another deviation from the Truth. Thus the reason I'm also very skeptical of the theorists who say (and no disrespect to any of you) that people will leave orthodox paths such as the Church to follow a more earth-based religion. I think that's just a religious day-dream, something all of the world religions have. My dad up there is a good example of why I think that theory is inaccurate.
Besides, my intuition has been telling me otherwise from what all the theorists are saying about that date, about impending doom or spiritual ascension of humanity. It's saying that it's not at all the beginning or end of epoch; it's simply the pivot point in an era brought on by the steady realisation that there are errors in this world that must be corrected.
That being said, I do believe that there is only a small group of people who really may become "spiritually ascended" or benefit from anything that may materialise upon that date. Though, maybe not. We are creating our own future, aren't we? Whatever change there will be, it will arise from our own speculation.

Who really cares when the world will end? Just enjoy life as much as possible and forget about it. It doesn't matter. We'll all die when it happens.

"Just enjoy life as much as possible and forget about it. It doesn't matter. We'll all die when it happens."
It couldn't be any simpler than that.
Actually it does matter a bit. If we're all conscious of the fact that
everything's gonna be alright
, then,
everything's gonna be alright
. If everyone goes around convinced that the sky is going to fall, well, I guess if they want to bring it down on themselves, so be it. It's not coming down on me, and that's my major concern.
Make the world a happier place and it will be.
I've said it before and I'll say it again (I'm sure)

If our so called civilization is going to end in 2012, what an experience. Mind you, I will probably miss it by being in the shower or something.

Out of every post on the subject, I absolutely loved the last. If the entire world ceases to exist, how awesome that we get to witness it firsthand and die that noble death. After all, there can be no rebirth without destruction, right?
The notion that humanity will spiritually ascend is equally admirable, however less probable in my opinion. (might be cynicism, might be rationale)
Investing energy in an outcome of that particular day, I agree, might promote - or + impact and everyone should live for the moment, that's all you can honestly be certain of in the illusion of linear time.
That might not even make sense, It's 3AM and I've been awake for two days.
My apologies.
Darkness Embraced has rapidly become my new obsession.
I love you all!

If the world does end in 2012, it will be because boyfriend our own hands. We will think that the world is going to end so will increase in trying to do/get what we want before we die and some of it is consisting of massacres, domination and such. In 2012, people will have fooled themselves that they are going to die and try to fulfill their list of things they want to do before they die. The world would be in complete anarchy because the government wouldn't be able to keep up with all the crime so they would just stop trying and people wouldn't care.
When someone comes up with a theory, it only takes a small group of friends to push it through until massive amounts of people believe in it. So, needless to say, all people are easily influenced, no matter how stubborn they are.
Besides, aren't the planets suppose to align in 2014? If we know it is going to happen, then we should be able to tell that we will be around after 2012. Oh, and I heard from one of my teachers a while ago that Venus will be passing directly between the Earth And the Sun some time in 2012 so that could be the cause of the whole 'End of the world' deal. People get crazy when the heavenly bodies block the Sun for even five minutes.

Hmmm.
"Besides, aren't the planets suppose to align in 2014?"
Uh, that would be 2012....
"Oh, and I heard from one of my teachers a while ago that Venus will be passing directly between the Earth And the Sun some time in 2012..."
And that would be December 21, 2012. The date in question.
"When someone comes up with a theory, it only takes a small group of friends to push it through until massive amounts of people believe in it."
And this would be the way religions, philosophies, conspiracy theories and all general information gets out there. And due to the wonderful machine you're reading this on and the proliferation of information for all, rumours, fears, lies and general bullsh*t are very easy to spread.
So on that note, try this on for size...
believe nothing
no matter where you read it or who has said it
unless it agrees with your own reason
and your own common sense
Only you can decide what to believe out there.
I do remain curious about one thing though...
"If the world does end in 2012, it will be because boyfriend our own hands"
I think I missed something in the typed translation, or maybe this is yet another form of protracted compu-speak, I don't know. Is this sort of like "my bad"?
What ever happened to grammar and actual comprehensible speech patterns....
be well, brightest of blessings
