Whether the 2012 end of the world predictions happen or not, shouldn’t we all be prepared at least in some basic sense. I live in the Great Northwest. We get many windstorms and because of all the trees, many of them fall and break power lines.  We are left without power, sometimes for days at a time.

Can you imagine the turmoil that would follow if we lost power nationwide? Before you say that it couldn’t happen here, in 1859 there was a solar storm that melted the telegraph lines and disrupted that communication media. Now that was back in 1859.

In 1859 there were no power lines stretching across the land from East coast to West coast as there is now.  There were no cell phones, no computers or internet. There were no electronic ignition automobiles

The prestigious NEMA (National Electric Manufactures Association) is very concerned about solar storms, “During previous solar storm cycles, operators found some metallic power equipment glowing red hot.” They claim that the effects of a severe solar storm could take years to repair and rebuild our network of electrical transmission lines. For a nonprofessional like me that is a scary prospect.

I don’t want to be crying wolf here, but can you guess what is predicted for 2012? Yep, you guessed it, a large solar storm. This solar storm will be 30%-50% greater than the last one. Scientists forecast, not predict, the potential for extremely high solar storms. What has me concerned is that this is a forecast, not a prediction. That means it is not a matter of “if”. This solar storm is going to take place. The “when” is the year 2012.

I don’t know about you, but I want to be ready. Regardless of whether or not the predictions of the doomsday soothsayers come to pass or not, I want to feel secure in knowing that I am prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws at me. You and I both know that you cannot prepare for every little bump in the road.

Nevertheless, there is no excuse for us not to have a store of basic necessities available in the event of any catastrophe be it windstorm, flood or earthquake.

Whether you believe 2012 end of the world predictions have any validity or not , be prepared.

With so much worry about climate change, world wars, and a possible apocalypse, 2012 has kind of gone under the radar. However, many believe that all of these things are connected.

They believe that December 21, 2012, will be the day that everything reaches its peak. That December 21, 2012 will lead to a rash of catastrophic events that will destroy our way of life and possibly lead to a mass extinction.

For those who are keeping a close eye on 2012, and even for those who believe that anything that happens won’t be because of the date, the question of survival is a pressing one. Is there any way for people to prepare for future?

Is there anything that they can do to survive the 2012 apocalypse, whether it be caused by a passing planet’s (Nibiru, Eris, or Planet X) gravitational field, climate change incited by man, or a solar maximum that causes geomagnetic reversal?

We have seen in just the past few years that the world is not ready for many natural catastrophes – Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Ike, the Sumatra earthquake that caused a tsunami, unprecedented flooding and tornadoes, the Tambora volcano eruption. All of these natural disasters happened one at a time and were still devastating. Panic caused chaos, and chaos led to even more loss of lives.

Imagine what it would be like in 2012 if all of these things started happening one right after the other … or all at once. Imagine if our electrical grids turned off. How many people in industrialized countries would be able to survive without someone giving them temperature control, hot and cold clean water, sewage handling, food stores? Or if our streets split and bridges collapsed? If buildings shattered and imploded?

The vision of an apocalyptic future is a terrifying one, and one for which this world is not prepared. Even if people are out of harm’s way in the 2012 year, they will feel the consequences of catastrophe – financial markets will crash, resources will become scarce, anarchy will become rampant, and wars will break out.

No matter whether you are in the middle of the proverbial storm or not, everyone will be negatively affected by global natural disasters. And it is clear that survival in 2012 will not be easy … and it may be impossible for many.

The government has only a limited system set up for human survival. There are talks of subterranean and even undersea operations that can hold vast numbers of people in order to preserve the species, but not nearly enough to house the world’s population. At the very least, the government and the military will be housed in these places as well as a number of scientists, physicians, and other caregivers.

Those chosen will not be able to bring along their families – the government will take only the people who are necessary. However, the average man on the street will likely be left to their own defenses, limited by their lack of survivalist technology. Do not be ill prepared Click Here! To find out more.

Have you ever been so traumatized by an event that you were moved to write a book? This is a review of 2012 Contact by Christopher Jones. Mr. Jones experienced just such an event in 2005 and it changed his life.

This two volume set, The Build and The Survival Guide, claims to distinguish between the predictions that are pure fantasy and those that are 100% correct. It leaves no doubt that the author believes in the imminent devastation of the earth.

Mr. Jones claims that you can survive the coming debacle and he has the answer. According to Mr. Jones, “Every major source of knowledge, from Einstein to NASA to worldwide religions… They all agree that… In 2012, something huge will happen.”

Reading 2012 Contact will help you make decisions to ensure you and your family’s survival. This book will teach you:

• The truth about our modern day calendars
• Why the Mayan calendar is worthy of our attention
• That science proves the validity of the Mayan predictions
• The safest places to be when this event happens
• How to survive
• What you will need to survive

Before you discount Mr. Jones’ claims, understand that his research is based on “pure calculated facts.” Not to mention, that NASA projects unusually intense solar storms and that Einstein predicted a possible polar reversal in 2012.

Predictions of this magnitude and media exposure always carry their share of fanatical followers and the stigma of New Age hype. December21, 2012 is no different.

What separates this prophecy from others of the past are the number of coincidental events that have been scientifically predicted to occur at about the same time.

• Intense solar flare activity in 2012
• Alignment of the Sun with the galactic center, the Milky Way
• The winter solstice occurs on this day

Not to mention that many of the past and present cultures and religions predict some kind of Earth affecting event in this time period.

2012 – Official Countdown Guide written by James Michael Sayer is a must read for those with inquiring minds. Do you think that maybe the media is not divulging the whole truth?

This series of books will give you the truth in spades. No stone is left unturned. It is obvious that Mr. Sayer is a scholar on this topic.

This e-book covers the subject of the Mayan prophecy from conspiracy theories to scientific observations. It is an eye-opener. You will no longer be in the dark.

I read the the work and can tell you first hand, it hits on topics and associations that I did not know existed. I thought that I was well versed on the subject, but Sayer covers it all and then some.

Here are some of the topics he covers:

• The prophecies of other civilizations and religions.
• Conspiracy Theories
• Crop Circles
• The relevance of time
• How to survive
• Planet X
• The I Ching
• Government Cover-Ups
• And much more

Is there a destructive disconnection between Man and Nature? Sayer explains. The New World Order, Nostradamus, Armageddon, and crop circles are these just words and ideas tossed into the caldron of the Mayan prophecy prediction? Is there any validity in their association with the prophecy? These questions and more are addressed in Mr Sayer’s quest to educate the world of the coming changes to this earth.

You will find tidbits of information not found in other works of this kind. For instance, Mr. Sayer alludes to epiphanic photography, a kind of pattern imagery photography, as a means of identifying sacred sites around the world.

2012 – Official Countdown Guide includes a survival guide and a summary report. The package of three volumes (as shown in the picture above) comes with a 100%, 60-day money back guarantee offered by Clickbank, the internet’s largest electronic merchant.

Conspiracies and prophecies aside, Governor Ventura raised or uncovered some interesting scientific publications that have not received much press.

According to National Academy of Sciences in a report commissioned by NASA and published in 2009, our Sun’s solar flare activity is expected to peak in 2012. Disturbingly, the report compares this forecasted activity with the solar outbreak of 1859 that fried telegraph wires throughout the modern world.

Do you think that solar flare activity would cause a major if not catastrophic disruption of our lifestyle like the movie, 2012? Sit back. The National Academy of Sciences estimates that, “A contemporary repetition of the [1859] event would cause significantly more extensive (and possibly catastrophic) social and economic disruptions.”

What does that mean? In a NASA report summarizing the Academy of Sciences report, NASA estimates that solar flare damage would reach 1 to 2 Trillion dollars in damages.
Let’s compare that to Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina cost us an estimated 80 to 120 Billion dollars. 1 to 2 Trillion is 1000 to 2000 times greater! I think you would agree that is a significant difference!

It is not the dollars. It is the collateral damage, the social damage. Water, sewage, refrigeration, fuel, all these and more would be damaged if not eliminated. Due to the technological infrastructure, rebuilding our electric grid could take years. Are you prepared? Not many of us are.

Alarmingly, NASA’s Themis satellites now show that the magnetic shield that protects us from the Sun’s deadly emissions has holes in it. With a solar emission of large proportions, we can only guess at the consequences.

Whatever you may think about the Mayan 2012 end of the world prophesy, science has some very disturbing predictions for 2012. I believe in science. It gives humanity some sense of truth. We all know science cannot explain many things. Some things are left to faith. But, when science and the metaphysical meet, perhaps it is time to pay attention.

The Mayans predicted the end of the world, as we know it, in 2012. Scientists know that our Sun is in a valley of solar flares, it peaks in cycles. The National Academy of Sciences and NASA predict the end of the valley and a peak of a new cycle for 2012. Coincidence? I don’t know.

Are you willing to take the chance that the New Agers and the doomsday soothsayers are wrong?

You know as I do that what happens three years from now is still up in the air. Scientists and scholars do not agree on the translation of the Mayan codex that refers to December 21, 2012, let alone its meaning.

The meaning of the 2012 calendar is left to new age philosophers, modern day doomsday soothsayers, publicists, and movie makers. Did you see the movie 2012? That was one heck of a ride.

What does the calendar say? Literally, the Mayan calendar ends on that date. The Mayan Long Calendar cycle ends. But, does that imply the end of all time? Our calendar ends on December 31, at midnight. It does not mean that time has ended.

We all know or at least we expect a new dawn when we arise. Did the Mayan intend anything different? You be the judge.

The words in the codex refer to a Mayan god, Bolon Yookte’ K’uh. This god is a god of war, conflict, and the underworld.

In 1966, Michael D. Coe, famed archaeologist and anthropologist, wrote in his book, The Maya, that on that date Bolon Yookte’ K’uh will rise up and vanquish the degenerate of the world.

The end of the world enthusiasts use that interpretation along with forecasted high solar activity, alignment of the Sun with the center of the galaxy, and references to the end of days by other cultures and civilizations as the basis for their beliefs.  Could the Second Coming and Armageddon be near?

Did you know that even the interpretation of the date in the text varies? The date December 21, 2012 is not the only date interpreted by scholars. Some think the date should be December 23, 2012.

The difference in dates is due to which calendar is used to work backwards, Gregorian or Julian. The problem is that there is a leap year between year one BC and year one AD. It is a little more complicated, but that is the simple explanation.

You probably have an opinion about December 21, 2012. Many of us do. However, it raises the question as to why so many are concerned about this date. Is it an innate global consciousness? Is it Hollywood publicity?

It comes down to your own system of beliefs and fears. We have three years left before we will know for sure. I, for one, want to learn all that I can both fact and conjecture, just in case. Maybe you should too.

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

There are those that believe that the end of the world is a catastrophic physical event. There are those that believe the world will continue on, but there will be a change in our consciousness.

Worldwide Catastrophe

The believers of worldwide catastrophe predict several scenarios here are three:

• A mysterious Planet X will pass close to the earth and create havoc with the earth’s crust destroying most of the living creatures.
• On that date, our Sun will align itself with the center of the galaxy. That alignment will generate unknown forces that will affect the earth’s magnetic field, destroying life.
• Unusually high solar flare activity is forecast for that time frame. That solar activity could substantially affect the earth’s magnetic shield and fundamentally have a dramatic effect on life.

Most scientists find these scenarios to be untenable, that is, not provable or valid. Bob Berman a columnist at Astronomy magazine wrote, “…the fun begins, as people come up with exquisitely moronic astrobabble in an attempt to find something celestial that might happen…”

There are some scientists that do not go so far as to entirely discount the Mayan end of the world prophecy. Dr. Bartels, a noted anthropologist and astronomer, claims there may be more to this prediction than has been acknowledged by science and the media.

New Age Consciousness

There are those end-of-world believers that see this prediction not as a physical event, but as a rebirth, an awakening. They have a different view of the causes for this new consciousness.

• The Sun’s alignment with the center of the galaxy will emit energy fields that envelope the Earth exposing mankind to an awakening of his true self.
• Ancient religions and civilizations have for eons foretold of man’s coming to a new age.
• During this period we are entering the Age of Aquarius, the astrological age of enlightenment.

Undoubtedly, much is unknown to man. Although we attempt to discover and uncover Nature’s truths through the discipline of science, Man must continue to cope with the unexplained and the mysterious.

With all of our technology and science, we still cannot explain the mystery of life. The Mayan 2012 prophecy and all its offshoots are one of those mysteries.

This short article pays little justice to the pros and cons of this fascinating subject.
