Self Improvement | Is There Anything to the Mayan Calendar in 2012 ...

By Patricia A Green -

2012 will be like any other election year ? only with the addition of the Summer Olympics. Mardi Gras will occur February 21st with Easter quickly will follow. If the schedule holds, we?ll get the Freedom Towers that will replace those lost to us in New York. Halloween will come in October 31 like usual, and life will just continues to chug along?or will it?

Just like some held their breath and hid in their plastic and duct taped enforced homes and shelters during Y2K, some will also do the same thing (or perhaps worse) as we march closer to December 21, 2012. Seems these folks missed their doomsday date in 2000, and now have their energy going towards the date that coincides with the end of the Mayan calendar, a time keeping chart some 5000 years old.

Just do a quick search of ?2012? in your favorite search engine and behold the number of websites, and books on this topic. Along with these topics, plenty more are cropping up that teach basic and advanced survival techniques, teach about canning food, and growing your own food. Just what do people think is going to happen?

There are scientists and others who speak about a mystery planet X some are calling Nibiru that on December 21, 2012, will buzz Earth so closely that it upsets Earth?s orbit and gravitational setting ? thus catapulting the Earth?s surface into overdrive with earthquakes, tsunamis, and strong weather patterns. Others credit an extremely rare galactic alignment that occurs every 26,000 years as the cause of the apocalyptic event. During this alignment, the Sun will be aligned with at least 5 planets as well as the rest of the Milky Way (how do we know this?) There are others still who believe that the Mayan somehow knew about this 26,000 year cycle and decided to break it up into four 5,125 year segments ? or Creation Cycles, and is said to have been ruled and destroyed by one of 5 elements; specifically, 4 Jaguar, 4 Wind, 4 Rain, 4 Water. The current cycle we?re supposedly in ? is called the Age of the 5th Sun and the Mayan name for it (Caban) translates into ?earthquake?, ?movement?, and ?shift??but then again it also means ?turtle?.

Sounds pretty ominous doesn?t it? It is supposed to. I think some people just like to be afraid ? like going to a scary movie. Some people see what they want to see, when they want to see it and don?t take into account all the facts ? like the fact that the Mayan calendar starts over once it ends and isn?t even used anymore ? this doesn?t seem to matter. And all this hoopla isn?t helped by the fact that the Mayans are supposed to have mysteriously disappeared?.all of them ? all at once. Where did they go? Disneyland?

In conclusion, in 2012, we will elect someone for President, people will flash themselves for beads at Mardi Gras, folks will dress in their Sunday?s best for Easter, metals will be won at the Olympics, kids will get candy for Halloween, and ?holiday? presents in December. I suspect we will also probably have some earthquakes that year, some bad storms will occur, and people will die ? but doesn?t that happen every year? So where does that leave us? Me, I plan on getting up for work on my birthday, December 21, 2012 and hope that someone has bravely stepped through their duct tape and plastic and shown up to sing ?Happy Birthday? to me.
