I am a bit worried about 2012. I am not one to usually believe all the religious people on the corner with the cardboard signs shouting "the end is here!"

But I watch way too much of the History Channel, and they mention 2012 at leasr once a day.

The Myan calendar is more accurate than our atomic clocks and almost all of the Myan's predicitions have come true. They predicted WWII, global warming, etc.

The Chinese "I Ching" is this sacred phrophesy book containing hexagrams, and also points to Dec 21, 2012 as the end.

Also, around 2012 the magnetic poles are set to reverse. During this time there will be crazy storms and tsunamis and earthquakes, etc.

Also, there is a family of asteroids that remain in an orbit safe from us.. usually. Recently, ever so slight atmospheric temperature increases are causing these orbits to slowly shift towards us. If an asteroid of this family were to srike the earth, it would be very similar to the first mass extinction, the extinction before the dinosaurs, caused by an asteroid landing in what is now part of the ocean near the Yukatan Penninsula.

Also, the History Channel mentioned the occurence rate of supernovas (the violent explosive death of a star) in our galaxy. There were a few famous astronomers, Kepler and some other people, that were actually lucky enough to witness one. Anyway, we are long overdue for a violent star death, that could definitely affect us here.

I am inviting myself to join you, Coelho.... hide somewhere in a mountain cave, grow lots of veggies, potatoes, and cannabis! I love your theory on heaven/hell being DMT altered perception. So we will smoke lots of cannabis and be happy and think we are going to heaven in 2012!
