I haven't read all of the posts about 2012.  I am therefore not informed about all of the claims about the calendar 2012, and supposed changes to the earth consciousness or whatever.  I'm sorry if that sounds trite.  I write this introductory paragraph as a disclaimer but I don't think that discounts completely what I am going to say.  First, I have a related story.
  I remember a preacher I used to listen to on the radio who used to claim the world was going to end in 1993.  He had biblical interpretations of obscure Old Testament prophecies and such to back it up.  It freaked me out.  However the world did not end.  I quickly realized it is best to live life as if your life could end at any time, but also to live life fully; free of fear of the change, as change is inevitable, as the Buddhists would emphasize.  We will all die, and the world will end at some future date (the sun will go nova eventually, after all), but just because the Mayans created a calendar that didn't plan far enough in advance doesn't mean that everything will change towards the end of this year.  Life will almost certainly just go on.  I respectfully suggest we deal with that reality and move on.

The Mayan calendar question is in the same class as the apocalyptic date setters for the 2nd coming of Christ or the end of the world as we know it.  Not even the Mayans interpreted 12/21/ 2012 in a life-changing way.  But the real issue is the psychological research on cognitive dissonance, the reaction triggered by the discrediting of passionately held beliefs. 

For example, when the date is fixed for the 2nd coming of Christ and the date uneventfully passes, the initial reaction is typically to reaffirm even more strongly that the prophetic impulse was valid, but just needs fine tuning.  It is often takes several discrediting moments of truth for "believers" to acknowledge that their method of calculation is bogus.  Several New Agers are already anticipating the decisive discrediting of 12/21 as a spiritual watershed event and are therefore reinventing expectations in a way that is unfalsifiable even in principle and therefore meaningless.  For example, they say that our era ushers in the dawn of a new global spiritual awakening, but leave the details vague enough to elude critical scrutiny. 

In one study, a large number of Presbyterian high school girls at a youth camp were subjected to a cruel experiment.  Psychologists told them that an ancient document authored by Jesus' disciples had been discovered in which the disciples admit that Jesus never rose from the dead and that, indeed, they made up these stories to perpetuate His teaching.  The Vatican already knew about this document and would soon express their response.  The girls were  then given a survey to determine how strongly they believed in Jesus and the resurrection.  The girls who accepted the discovery's legitimacy accepted Jesus' teaching and resurrection even more strongly than the girls who rightly dismissed the document as bogus!  The girls who believed what they were told  resolved the dissonance by trying to convince themselves that their religious convictions were stronger than ever.  That reaction is precisely what congitive dissonance theory predicts and that is the typical New Age reaction to the invitable discrediting of 12/21 as a  world-changing event.

Hi Ralph. In your previous posts, you mention that you suffer from acute constipation. May I suggest you take the organic-vegetarian method rather than buy chemical pills offered by the major pharmacies. California pitted prunes or organic senna tablets are the best way to solve this problem of yours...As regard your reply to this thread, I'm sure my suggestion will solve this question of yours. Best Regards. Carl & Family.   

Shit happens. Here a flush, there a flush, everywhere a flush.

We've come to the most agreeable of terms, shaken hands and exchanged mutual germs that confirms and reaffirms the notion that our ideas and beliefs fall pray to discerning worms. Is it a gesture worth nothing that assumptions float bloating? New age ordeals and christian ideals? We've all got a part in the flow chart for how personal truths are to be taken to heart. The suspense is there for those who need it, those who craves or skips a building permit. Master builder builds a road, hanging bridges and an ascending node. Knowledge serves the student well, propel our ways by doing, chewing and renewing any cold spell. Different people yield different prints in the winter snow, and love breathing life into the fabrics of their favourite reality-TV show. Will we know? Maybe so as the plough of want to know caress the yearning fields aglow.

Will happen and will not.

Consider following.

Millions of people (even mainstream media) are talking about 2012 and 21 December as a time of shift, "big event" or something like that; in various (more or less serious) ways, but are stimulating each other for many months or years. It's different than ever before, because different reference cues are involved in that co-processing (even if they are quasi real - they make better impression than before; like astronomical things; or read the books various ends of the world - which ones are most creative?).

Now - what thappens when millions of people use/focus their intentnions and consciousnesses to focus on one single point of local time and space? Coherence and threshold. Creation happens. But a creation not from the point of view of what is talked about, but of what is in the hearts, on deeper levels. You know, intention needs deepening in order to become a physical fact.

But here is an interesting thing. When you place your intent to manifest something - you need then to let go for a while and wait - in order to allow things to happen.

So - people are focused on 2012 December 21. The day will come and nothing will change. So most people will let go and forget.

My guess is, that next few years will unfold the creativity of collective consciousness of human kind (-;

Here is how I envision December 21, 2012. I go to work like every other ordinary working day. It's a good day, and a bit quiet. The people around me are in a pleasant mood, as it is a Friday, and the end of their working week.

The next day is the beginning of our winter vacation period, so double happiness for everyone I know. People will even hug each other goodbye that day, some of them, and wish each other well.

I will be anticipating a short holiday with my dog and some members of my family. I will be looking forward to a new year, and to discovering ways to make it one of the best of my life.

Every new day is an opportunity to be a better person, and to make a better plan. Each day we are given 24 hours to use our resources well. My intention is to be happy that day.

There are always circumstances that may appear as obstacles to our happiness, but a little bit of good health and good cheer is an opportunity to help make the world a better place, so why not?

The powers that glee keep the media busy with the Mayan calendar so that Operation Feathers & Doom is allowed to fly under the radar of most folks. The mentioned operation is set to hatch dec. 21. On that very day feathers of the wold will come to life and start beating people to death. Brace yourselves, it's gonna take a while... and you may be given a solid tickle as well.

Misconceptions about the Mayan calendar isn't the only one out there. Satan? Not really, you were warned about spray tan. Spray tan, work of the devil? Not really, but tan accelerators are the work of DeWolf.

Hi @channel, thanks, I'm fine, just "busy days" right now.

There is also said (according to Drunvalo Melchizedek?), that in 2008 or so - a new "networks" or "grids" around the Earth has been established/finished, to compensate the "old programs" from physical manifestation; and as far I can observe - indeed it seems to be so - a lot of crucial predictions seem to be around their topics, but not so vital or important as said. So the Earth changes we experience - may appear, but not in such drastic ways that was "proposed" in the past. More of that I guess - will be the collective emotional trafic, than physical manifestation.
