This lecture series is not what you think, I bet. It's possibly the single most interesting thing I have ever seen on this topic. Whether you are a 2012 "believer" or a major skeptic I hope you'll take some time (its a long lecture, but if you get thru the first 12 parts you will keep going I'm sure) to acquaint yourself with this man and what he has to say on this subject. It's just amazing.

I started to post this in the Afterlife section so that you would have a better shot at seeing it, but I don't want to rile anyone about being off topic. Enjoy.

Greetings Beau.

   Thank you for the link. I watched the first 14 episodes so far. I learned something from his presentation which makes me happy. I'm very curious about all of the 2012 predictions, but didn't know too much about the Mayan calendar until now.

   I don't think that time is speeding up though. I think it's more like awareness is shifting rather than chronological changes. I recently got back from a trip to Arizona. Talk about awareness shifting. The environment out there does indeed have an affect on perception. I enjoyed it immensely.

Ralph, I think the environment in Arizona did amazing things for your hairdo as well, judging by your new picture.   :)

I think Ian's explanation is right on, he just should have kept his mouth shut about the future. There are problems with everything. Even MY new book has problems, but hey so does the theory of relativity so whadduhhey.

Which just goes to show you that everything is relative.

One of my favorite quotes from a Leonard Cohen song, Anthem:

"There is a crack, a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in."

I didn't even know that this forum has an earth changes section. I found it by accident on google.
