The 2012 Prophecy

You may have heard about 2012 and the end of the world. You may already know something about it. But, are you prepared? Regardless of your belief in this doomsday prophecy, shouldn’t you be prepared for any calamity you may encounter?

I saw the movie, 2012, and if this is what is in store for us, then you might as well kiss your tutu goodbye, if you have one. Personally, I cannot commit to a hardcore belief in this prophecy.

On the other hand, there is that lingering question, “What if it is true?” I cannot deny a feeling of uneasiness about the prediction. After all, the advocates of this event do make a case.

Some advocates see this event as cataclysmic. Others see it as a cleansing or a renewal. They do agree that something earth changing is imminent. What do we know?

We do know this:

• The Mayan Long calendar ends on December 21, 2012, the winter solstice.
• Many religions and past civilizations have predicted the end of the world around this period.
• Every 26,000 years or so our Sun aligns itself with the center of the Milky Way, 2012 is that year.
• Around this date, scientists forecast unusually high solar activity with potential negative consequences to the Earth.
• Other well-known seers and prophets, like Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus, predict something is going to happen in this time.

Those that defend their belief in this prophecy refer to the poles shifting, worldwide climatic changes, other environmental changes, and a mysterious Planet X as evidence to support their belief. Their evidence is supported by both science and pseudo-science.

Whatever your inclination might be, it has made us all aware of Nature’s unpredictability. Hurricane Katrina is a perfect example. How many people were prepared? Very few. Are you ready for whatever calamity may come your way?

You can prepare yourself in many ways. Knowledge is the first order of preparedness. Know what might be possible and act according to your own knowingness. Learning about December 21, 2012 is no different.

Decide for yourself. Is 2012 the end of the world? Prepare for the possibilities. Why not be prepared and arm yourself with knowledge?
