how many of you believe the end is coming?

Survive 2012: Ancient Mayan Doomsday, Pole Shifts and Evolution (http://survive2012.com/)

[McLeodGanja]

Worried? No. Curious to know what happens? Yes.

Probably nothing as LIP says, I think in all likelihood someone down the aeons will have miscalculated time and got the dates completely wrong. I heard on the radio a while back that apparently the 7th and 8th centuries never existed because someone decided centuries ago that they had miscalculated the birth of jesus or something and the calendar was corrected. (whatever centuries it was they presented a very compelling argument saying there has never been any archeological evidence pointing to that period of time)

Anyway, getting away from the subject...

Scientifically, it seems that the human race is going through a very MAJOR paradigm shift at the moment, and whether or not this ties in with Mayan prophecy or an evolutionary shift in conciousness or whatever is anyones guess.

One thing is for sure, the world will certainly go a little bit crazy around that time, I expect there will probably be some religious suicide pact somewhere, and probably a massive rainbow festival in Peru. I might even go there myself if I have the money and the time, what the hell it is a once in a lifetime event, whether anything happens or not...

[slipknotpsycho]

i dunno.... read around on that sight or even just google it... all the things they point out are true.. and yes i'm aware that we always have prophecies of doomsday... but just seems like everything ties into that damn date.....

just as i was writing this i realized something else..... 2012 will be a presidential election year, and this year, in 2008 we have a very real chance of having the first black president or the first woman president...it's little things like that that i just keep seeing over and over

[fasterspider]

I am not worried about the end of the world, I am embracing it and looking forward to it.
This world we live in is so fucked up that the only thing that will help it is total destruction and devastation to our population.
My buddy Edgar is from Guatamala, the land of the Maya and it is his fault the calandar is set to end the world in 2012
At least that is what I tell him, it is his fault. He just smiles:D and say's "haha" sounding like that kid from the Simpsons.

[NextLineIsMine]

Im just picturing some Mayan guy drawing out the calendars, hitting two thousand twelve, rubbing his eyes, then saying fuck this and making some phrophecy so he could blow it off and go play some Mayan sports

[Psycho4Bud]

The Chinese "I Ching" ends in 2012 also. Kind of strange that these two end in the same year.:eek:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[Conehead]

You have got to be kidding me.Im a fairly open minded kind of guy but this is some Agrade bull plop. what an arrogant thought that we are the pinnacle of civilisation and it all ends for humans as us. Humans have always had an underlying fear that there is impending doom just around the corner,this is natural we would not have survived as a species if we didn't because sometimes were right and that paranoia is what could save your life. I beleive this non-sense is just a form of this conditioning to be scared of the un-known. in a time where there is so much information availiable u can find a patern in just about anything if u are looking for im not surprised this guy has come up with this theory but for me to beleive in it i need some actual proof not just coincidental ramblings."We have nothing to fear except fear it's self"
btw who gives a shit if it's an election year and america could have a black/woman president. There are other nations that have had balck/women and even black women president's for decades

[Markass]

all I can say is...if so, I hope it's not painful..at least I'll be 21 for a couple years..

My brother told me that predictions relevant to this mayan calender have been accurate so far?? I'm not sure with what, but it all fits into the puzzle..wont know until the day comes..

[Ghengis Chron]

A big part of me believes it's just going to be another "Millenium" event. When everyone went bonkers before the new millenium and nothing happened. It is interesting that the year 2012 occurs throughout the world in different cultures. I used to be all about this kind of stuff, but one day I decided, screw it, i only live once, i might as well just go about my life. I don't worry about those kind of things anymore. If the end of the world were to happen tomorrow, i'de rather not know about it until it happens.

[texas grass]

i dont think the world will end, but it will end the way we know it. the most logical thing i read/heard with is that magnetic north might change and cause serious weather problems and most people will die because they dont know to take care of themselves.

[crudemood]

i knew it! i just kknew there wasnt a meaning to life!
if it does end.
if it doesn't, well life goes on? hehe

[Hilder420]

I dont think theres gonna be some catastrophic event thats gonna "end the world". I think with time we will feel the impact of sucking the earth and our natural resources dry that will create a chain of events which, i believe will systematically, because of dwindling resources, thin out population ending in famine and a giant bow on top of becoming a barren unlivable planet. Regardless of when or what it might be Im not worried about. Im worried about my dog not suffering and having enuff weed and fire to go out in fucking style. bring it on.. cant complain. we did it to ourselves.

[Knickerbka]

Looking forward to it if it happens.I really doubt it will happen,but if it does,I will embrace it....

[scagster]

Thank goodness I have all those supplies sealed and buried out in the wilderness...

[McLeodGanja]

The Chinese "I Ching" ends in 2012 also. Kind of strange that these two end in the same year.:eek:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Don't the buddhists also talk about our collective consciousness transcending into the fourth and fifth dimensions as well around this time, whatever that means... Something like that.

I think there are a lot of prophecies that point to something happening now. The earths magnetic field is also just about to flip its axis, although that will take decades, perhaps centuries. Since there are no historical records, only archeological, of this event there is no way to tell. Apparently the magnetic field goes through a period of chaos and the aurora borealis will become visible everywhere in the world.

There was some guy on the radio talking about this, I missed most of the show, but he was saying something about the solar system passing through the plane of the galaxy and there are cosmic rays that will bombard the earth, also something about a light will appear in the sky from the centre of the galaxy. I can't remember exactly what he said so that might be wrong, I would like to read up about all this sometime, it sounds pretty interesting.

[PackAnotherBowl]

I really doubt the world will end. I'm pretty sure they already said it would a long time ago....it didn't end.

[psychocat]

I believe it




























to be grade A bollocks :D :thumbsup:

[Innominate]

It won't be the end of the world, but an end of a certain time period, not ruling out our inevitable deaths, but there are many events that are possible. One of the most popular theories is the polar shift (The North Pole aligns to the equator?) and our Sun aligning to the center of the Milky Way. I've heard about an asteroid, but I'm not sure about that one, but our planet could be affected by solar flares from our sun.

There is the possibility that we will be guided through this "Apocalypse" (Greek word meaning: Unveiling). Whatever is to be revealed, I hope we are ready for it.

[Nation_1ne]

I can't say I do believe the world is going to end on that date.

I believe we've had a discussion about this before?

[McLeodGanja]

LOL @ Kwazang! What the hell does that mean?

[Nation_1ne]

LOL @ Kwazang! What the hell does that mean?

Lol, I was just thinking the same!

[Purple Banana]

I bet you guys a BILLION dollars each the world won't end in 2012 :stoned:

[McLeodGanja]

OK your on! I reckon i'll able to afford that in 2013 the way things are going.

[nolanfortwenty]

i dont think its gunna end. like everyone said, the end of the world has been predicted so many times. im still interested to see what happens though, but i dont believe it

[McLeodGanja]

I don't think that they are saying the world will end though, it is just peoples misinterpretation. It is more like the end of a cycle, and the start of a new age.

[robo scat]

If it ends in 2012, at least I'll die in a pretty cool way. We would all be some of the last humans that ever lived. If it doesn't end in 2012, sweet!

[happiestmferoutthere]

I've been through soooo many of these domeday predictions. It didn't end in 1998, it didn't end in 2000, it didn't end on 6/06/06, and it won't end in 2012.:thumbsup:

[Breukelen advocaat]

Here we briefly converge with the ideas of Terence McKenna. (http://boards.cannabis.com/tm.html) In the book he co- authored with his brother Dennis (Invisible Landscape, Seabury Press 1975 and Harper San Francisco, 1993), Terence suggests that the position of winter solstice sun within 3 degrees of the Galactic Center in the year 2012 A.D. (a "once-in-a-precessional- cycle" event) may provide the eschatological end point for his theory of time known as Timewave Zero. His end date was chosen for historical reasons and was, apparently, only later discovered to correspond with the Mayan end date. The McKennas point out that this unusual astronomical situation has been noted by other writers, namely, Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend in Hamlet's Mill (1969). As ACS Publication's The American Ephemeris for the 21st Century shows, in the year 2012 the Galactic Center is at 27 Sagittarius (within 3 of winter solstice). Thus McKenna demonstrates that on winter solstice of 2012, Galactic Center will be rising heliacally just before dawn, in a way reminiscent of how the Maya observed Venus's last morningstar appearance.

lol if it does end lets go out sharing a blunt, k?

[Hilder420]

Hells yeah! we can gather round one of those clear mothers we tried to kill saturday.. ya know we didnt even get half of it? Between four people.. We're pathetic.. LOL

[slipknotpsycho]

I really doubt the world will end. I'm pretty sure they already said it would a long time ago....it didn't end.

yeah and that's the problem of why no even less are taking this one seriously, but i'm a skeptic... and it's even got me freaked out.... i've been looking into this stuff for months now.... reading, watching documentarys just cramming my brain with info about it... and at first it was like.... yeah yeah, they always say this... then as more and more scenarios (That's the thing.... there are so many cataclysmic events that are long overdue that we can look back in history and prove have happened before on a somewhat rigid schedule) and then alllllllllllll the prophets that picked the exact date of 2012....

see science it's self can show you quite a few very likely global killers that could happen literally any second....and i yes i know nearly everything could happen at any given second, i mean as in... we're actually sitting here waiting for it cuz we're over due and then through the years the prophets have kept coming back to the date 2012... it isn't just the myans that picked that date....

i'm a logical person, i look at the facts and take the logical side.... i've spent months looking into this, and the reason i'm worried is becuase for once, FOR ONCE, the logical side is this side.....

[slipknotpsycho]

Hells yeah! we can gather round one of those clear mothers we tried to kill saturday.. ya know we didnt even get half of it? Between four people.. We're pathetic.. LOL

lol i didn't even need to smoke it after those couple of bowls... :rasta:

[smokey2315]

dude this is gonna be like the tupac "7 day theory"
it predicted a date that tupac would come back

wat happend on that date???

there was a movie released called "tupac ressurection" haha

[TimidK]

The end of the world or just another count-down for a new year, I'm gonna be blown out of my mind before either outcome! :jointsmile:

[THClord]

Worst case scenario:
Earth's magetic field disappears for a whole year in the process of switching poles. We will be bombarded by cosmic radiation that kills us all. We may not have any warning at all.


I'm not worried. I think the chances of me dying in a car accident is greater.

[denial102]

the only thing that will help it is total destruction and devastation to our population.

the only thing that will help us is total destruction and devestation to our population? haha, isn't that like killing the patient to cure the disease?

:D

[Funkmaster H.O.H.N.]

End of the world? Meeeeh, let it come, I doubt it will, but even if it did how could we possibly stop the inevitable?

[Acouwaila]

Don't the buddhists also talk about our collective consciousness transcending into the fourth and fifth dimensions as well around this time, whatever that means... Something like that.

.

Ive heard theories about it not being the end, but a new beginning. In my eyes, a new beginning doesnt necesarily have to start with a whole new human race. What if some huge event occurs but it doesnt destruct our planet or wipe out all of the humans on it. Maybe its purpose will be an awakening, such a strong gigantic natural force in the sky gives an appearance...thats all it would take....this world needs to look up at night....its there....just a lot of people lost interest dealing with all the bullshit LIFE has to offer. But that IS all it would take. Everyone on the planet would see and no one would have any choice but to believe in what they saw, everyone would look around and behold the wonders among them..see everything as a new world, cleansed. When it comes down to it, thoughts, beliefs, opinions, ideas, ...your age, your name, your dog or cat or family..dont matter..Whats happening now is what is to be observed....if it is the end of life...im not sure if it will be earth, or the universe or only THIS DIMENSION, but...im sure the cause is just as important as why were here to begin with....we need to accept our fate

[melodious fellow]

Damn. Why does this type of shit always happen to me :wtf:

Guess I have an excuse spend my entire savings account 4 ounces of medical grade and try to smoke it all new years eve with a beautiful woman... (If I can find one... :thumbsup:)

[Smashingdols]

im not willing to chance the all-powerful jinx. sorry dude didnt vote. ne1 seen that one episode of the twilight zone (((the color version, not black and white))) where these kids spill some ancient Mayan goblet of blood that kept the sun up and they start the process of the end of the world?

[lagstronaut]

You know what? Everybody can say blah blah blah no way it's gonna end, but really you don't know that, you are only saying that because it sounds extremely far fetched. Well, every one of Einstein's theories sound pretty damn far fetched at the time, so crowds of people would be standing around at the Ye Olde Cannabis.com Pub saying "No way it'll happen"


For some odd reason I reallllly always get drawn into this Mayan 2012 talk, mostly because it's the only real cosmic mystical prediction with what looks like decent certainty coming from the group of people predicting it that I'm ever gonna be alive to witness. Or not witness. I don't care. But I am certainly going to be excited to see what unfolds around that time -- I mean come on: the world is going to shit. Something major could very well happen coincidentally and the Mayans would look right whether or not they were. I dont know. I am reallllyy high...

Anyways

Go 2012! :hippy:

[smok3y]

I dont think the world will end.. I thbik there will probly be another world war at some point in the future tho..

Unless globel warming kills us all apart from that I cant see it happning.. Ohh wait maby I can... *rubs crystal balls* Nope false alarm... lol

[Acouwaila]

at the end of thought, lies experience

[bobthenuker]

O god...not another one of these..read the forums..now that's funny...haah:jointsmile:

[GraziLovesMary]

It will be an end, not the end. As one era ends, another will begin. Life will progress massively towards a new collective consciousness, and humanity will evolve many of its trends and ideas. Lifestyle and dietary changes, along with an increased or decreased quality of life will thusly bring changes in physical traits and characteristics.

It is the perfect opportunity to launch my universal business entity. Life will always go on.

[pass_the_dubbie]

If it happens it happens, gives us something to look forward to right?

[dutchy420]

I believe that humanity is nearing an extreme reduction in population.

Resourses are running out and politicial and national powers are long since out of control. I also believe that nobody knows the truth.

Its very possible that something will happen soon, 2012 seems soon enough to me.

[GraziLovesMary]

Worst case scenario:
Earth's magetic field disappears for a whole year in the process of switching poles. We will be bombarded by cosmic radiation that kills us all. We may not have any warning at all.


I'm not worried. I think the chances of me dying in a car accident is greater.

Lol you are correct. Because the process of switching magnetic poles is on average, around a couple hundred, to 1000 year process. What makes you think that the mixture of liquid iron and nickel, spinning around in the center of our planet giving us our magnetic field--by the way something that only switches up about every 100 to 500 thousand years (and were around 50,000 years into the latest switch)--is able to just reverse itself in one short revolution around the sun?

lol silly billy :p

But in all honesty, the magnetic field is always there, however during that process the wave-form patterns will be extremely errattic until a new equilbrium has been found. Life is not wiped out or devastated by this switch and the extra radiation we receive; although we will be seeing some side-effects when the time comes. Seeing as how it will take place over a few generations at a minimum, though, it wont be as impactful as we may think.

The Mayan disaster that is supposed to occur in 2012 is believed to be related to a repeating disaster that comes every 6000 years or so, according to Mayan records. Coincidentally enough, this seems to correspond with the story of Noahs Ark, roughly 6000 years ago, and Plato's estimation of the destruction of Atlantis, around 12000 years ago. Its all very interesting to me, and I cant wait to usher the world into a new era when December '12 rolls around.

[McLeodGanja]

Its all very interesting to me, and I cant wait to usher the world into a new era when December '12 rolls around.

At least if the new age doesn't happen on 12-12-2012, it only be 12 days until Xmas :stoned:

[McLeodGanja]

Yes, you are correct, my mistake.

It'll be a mad 4 days shopping spree when we all realise we're stuck with materialism again. Oxford Street'll be heaving!

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Guys, it's simple and it's really not that frightening. I personally was getting curious about the 2012 stuff for a while, but it just aint that mysterious.

Every 2250 years (or so) we go through an "Aeon", one of 12 Aeons that make up something like 24,000 years that envelope an astological cycle that takes that long to complete. This is why many cultures all point to 2012, because it's the end of this Aeon. So quite simply, it's nothing but the alignment of stars and the mythology attached to those stars.

The Mayans were able to accurately predict many things *gasp* because those predictions involved celestial events like eclipses and star alignments. Any civilization that developes a good understanding of patterns of movement in the heavens can work it down to a science with astronomy and mathematics, and thus predict events. How the Mayans managed to work out such a complex science, one we've only recently mastered ourselves, is mysterious and impressive enough in and of itself. But these predictions, nontheless, are possible with a solid foundation in the sciences.

2012 will be little more than an alignment of planets and stars that only happens every so many thousand years.

[MadSativa]

I find it very interesting that the Myan callander is much more acurate than the calander we all use today and it is ancient. I also find it intersesting that we still use this callander even though we know much better and acurate ones are around.

[Narf!]

NONE of us are promised tomorrow. What happens 4 years from now is the farthest thing from my mind. If the world is gonna end in my lifetime I wanna be around to see it happen. Or I will feel slighted. The only people that fear death are the ones that never really lived to begin with. This is just personal opinion. Most everyone in my family has died young for one reason or another. It has given me the impetus to live my life one day at a time with no regrets. And do the things at a young age that I would have normally put off until Im older. None of the men have lived past 50 so far. So (realistically) I figure Ive got 20 good years left. If I live to be older than 50 Ill be happy with that. If not I wont be suprised.

[smokey91]

I dont know whats going to happen in 2012 but ive been having a real bad feeling and i know its gonna sit on my mind until december 21st 2012. Nostradamous says a comet will hit the earth in 2012 and in the bible codes also says a comet will hit earth in 2012. I think if aliens really exist we`ll probably come into contact with them in 2012 or before then.

[Candnloveweed420]

It would really piss me off if its true because I have been working my ass off in school. I would be so mad if I found out I couldve just been smoking and being a lazyass all those years.

[ijustloveweed]

Im not worried, and don't think the world will end, and i also agree that we are not even in the year 2008 right now since they lost track of time in the dark ages. But i will be anxious that day i wake up on december 21 , 2012 and ill be high as shit, maybe get some mushrooms :)

[NextLineIsMine]

OOOOOOOOOOOH STINKY ATTIC! Look what Ijustloveweed said! Woohoohoo!

[ghosty]

Well I think a lot of people misinterpret the mayan calender thing. It does not state it is the end, but rather the end of an era. I read an interesting theory somehwhere, not saying I buy into it, but it is interesting. The theory mentions the possibility and thought that perhaps the ancient civilizaions had help from extra-terrestrials in making thier advancements. There has been an increase in UFO sightings in recent years claim to have seen triangular like ships. Supposedly these are the beings that assisted the civilizations years ago, and they plan to return and make thier presence known in full scale again in 2012, but for now are just observing before their full return.

...I dunno what I think of that, but it is interesting. It would be somewhat cool. Also I wouldn't mind being a witness to the end of the world if that's what happens. Ive personally always kinda wanted to see it, and wondered how it would happen. But I dont think that's what's gonna happen.

[iTokethings]

I expect there will probably be some religious suicide pact somewhere, and probably a massive rainbow festival in Peru. I might even go there myself if I have the money and the time, what the hell it is a once in a lifetime event, whether anything happens or not...



lmaooo

this made me laugh like a little girl :D

reps for you :rastasmoke:

[thcbongman]

It's scientific fact were fucked in the long run. Perhaps not in 2012, but if the average temperature keeps rising, it'll wreck havoc on ecosystems. Even if everyone started recycling, we are independent from fossil fuels for energy and going green, were still fucked.

[blizz]

times are changing people, wether or not we are doomed in 3.5 years will come to tell in a year or so. idk how the worlds going down, but all i gotta say is i love this planet,these people and this love. See ya on the otherside if we go brothers and sisters!:thumbsup::jointsmile:
