   While I believe something will be changing/shifting in our universe in 2012, I can’t say it’ll be end of times. No man knows that day or time.

   I was surprised to learn that the US Naval Observatory has predicted the exact universal moment marking the end of the Mayan calendar to happen at 11:11 a.m. Greenwich time. I was not aware of this. Of course I have only started looking into 11:11 on internet when I realized someone else was experiencing the same thing. I am no expert on this subject, only an unwilling spectator in all of this.

   2012 is an interesting time. First you have to consider the galactic alignment, although some theorize we are already there. Either way, it last happened when we were little more than cave men, so no one knows what to expect. Still, being in a solar system that is more perfectly aligned with a super massive black hole surely has some far reaching effects. There is an outside chance it could even trigger DNA mutations.

   Then on top of that you have solar maximus the same year. The solar storms on the surface of the sun go through regular swings where they have 11 years of low activity, followed by 11 years of high activity. The peak points of each swing are referred to as solar minimus and solar maximus. Solar Maximus is scary enough, especially if there are sun spots facing the general direction of Earth, but to have a Solar Maximus that is effective by a super massive black hole in the center of the galaxy could be spectacular.

   Having said that, do I think 2012 is the end of civilization as we know it? Highly unlikely. Sure, there is the whole 11:11 aspect of the Mayan calendar, and it’s hard to ignore that, but I do not feel anything that gravitates me towards thinking that is any form of prophecy. I tend to view it as just another stop on the trip, and imagine life will go on as usual on December 22.

   Now the Apothis asteroid in 2017, particularly it’s return trip in 2024, is another subject entirely. That one very well could nail us and cause mass extinction of most species. That has nothing to do with 11:11. I just view it as much more realistic than the theory that 2012 is our doomsday.

   First of all, for those who are new to the 2012 phenomenon, there is more to the date than the upcoming movie end of the world hype. I came across this in my studies of the ancient civilisations of South America. When I was in California as a child I took a picture of the Mayan Calendar replica hanging in a restaurant. It looked cool to me (I was 15 at the time), and didn’t know the significance it would play in my life later on. As an adult (20 years later), I saw the same image in a book and wanted to find out what it was about. Well, I got more that I was expecting to say the least!

   To understand the Mayan calendar, you need to understand that it is an exact calculator of the position of all of the constellations, planets, moon and sun in our solar system for the span of 13,000 years! Think about that! No fallibility exists in the calendar! If the calendar were to be off by even a 100th of a degree, over the span of 13,000 years huge errors in the position of the constellations would exist and would multiply themselves over time. As well, who in their right mind would calculate a calendar so far in advance? To what purpose, when we only have a calendar one year at a time? All we care about is when the next holiday is right? I can only deduce that the Mayans had prior knowledge that something of significance would happen 12,000 plus years into the future. Why, also, does the calendar end? For us the concept of an end to time is inconceivable as we know nothing other than the present day we are in and the plans we have for our tomorrow. So, given that the calendar “resets itself” at Time Zero, what does this represent? Will December 22 be just like any other day, or will it even exist.

   If we believe that December 21, 2012, 11:11 UT will herald in some cataclysmic event, could it be of such magnitude that we will have no concept of time. If we refer to the Bible, Revelations speaks of a huge shaking of the earth, that there will be no light from the sun or the moon and that the heavens will be rolled up like a scroll. The actual position of the earth, moon and sun, will be in perfect alignment with the galactic center of our Milky Way Galaxy and our Universe. No one knows what lies at this galactic center, but physicists believe it is an immense black hole.

   Now, what about the famous ball game the Mayans played (remember the Disney movie El Dorado?)? The symbolism of the ball game is the fact that the ball represents the Earth and the ring represents a portal to another dimension. It was very hard to get the ball into the ring as the players could not use their hands – as well the winners were sacrificed after the game (harsh eh?). Is the galactic center a portal for the earth to travel through? Is this also the symbolism of the 11:11.

   The end of the Mayan calendar coincides with the end of the Piscean age or the End of the Ages. The bible fortells of Jesus’ return at the End of an Age. The Mayans also believed that Quetzylcoatl (the winged serpent God) would return at this time. Who Quetzylcoatl is, is being hotly debated by archeologists and theologians. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatl for more details.

   I have found an interesting interpretation of the 2012 end date from Dr. Brooks Agnew in his books The Ark of Millions of Years. What I can say is that there is a definite polarisation in the thinking among the “believers and non-believers”, but nevertheless, people are thinking about it.
   Keep searching for your own version of the truth – that is the only pursuit worth undertaking.

   You have to also take Mayan culture with a grain of salt. As interesting a subject as the calendar may be, we have to be careful to not read too much into cultural understandings, because we really have a loose grasp on the subject. We repeatedly see instances where a single discovery will completely change the understanding of Mayan culture, and as such, it is difficult to put much stock into what we believe we know today.

   At the same time, if we are to discuss our interpretation of their mythology, we can’t really overlook the rebirth issue. Mayans believe that the Earth has been created five times, with the first four having been destroyed. According to what we think they say, we are currently living in the fifth and final incarnation of the planet. Tie that into the calendar and a lot of interesting discussions emerge.

   But honestly, do you really “feel” that it is the end of time? (Not that time even exists really) The whole subject has a very Y2Kish feel to it.

   As for what is at the center of the galaxy, I’m pretty sure that more than physicists believe that there is a super massive black hole there, and they are probably right. What is interesting about that is when you start to explore the possibility that we are not really in a “universe”, but are in an inter-connected “multiverse”, but these types of SMBH’s serving as points where the various dimensional universes can bleed together. Tack the galactic alignment onto that and again, you have a lot of interesting to discussions.

   But still, I ultimately do not have any ominous feeling about any of these subjects.

   11 had followed my mother before me. She saw it often and considered it a “good luck” number. Furthermore, she was born on March 11 (3/11). She had me and raised me to believe the “11:11″ we saw all the time was reason to “make a wish”. Furthermore, *I* was born on the 11th of April (4/11), my name numerology is 11, and my name begins with the 11th letter of the alphabet. Even odder, I was compelled to learn and speak multiple tongues from a yongue age. I would watch chinese TV claiming to understand “all languages” at age 5. I majored in Spanish after Italian – where there was a course that focussed on the Aztec and Mayan cultures – which taught me about 2012. My mother also believed in 2012. My mother, born 3/11, mother to daughter (me) born on 4/11, also has a son – born on 9/11/89. His name numerology also comes to an 11. All of us have been deemed “ousiders”. We went to catholic school, but felt drawn to the occult or planets. I anounced I was from Jupiter at 8 years old. I bought my first tarot deck, unprompted, while still in Catholic school and under the age of 15. I also during these young days would try to move classroom objects with my mind – *KNOWING* I could (though nothing had ever told me so and Catholic school condemned such talk) – but it was like my ability was “turned off”. So I would go to the book store and look for books on moving things with your mind. I believed I would, indefinitely and without question, one day regain my “super powers” – these included psychic and telepathic powers as well. I was *born* knowing these things (now these days, being 24 and married I wouldn’t go around saying these things out loud, lol). I’d seen no television show or movie, nor learned about the occult in school because I went to a STRICT Catholic school. So it always begged the question why or really how it was possible I had those thoughts… I’ve been following 11 and really evolving spiritually alot this year – after what appears to be a HUGE acceleration in my “powers” as an empath and my sudden desire to meditate (which I’d done before but didnt “enjoy” it or felt much was accomplished by it) for hours on end. I’ve also seen an increase of telepathy in me with my immediate circle. I’ve yet to contact “the unseen” – whether ET’s, spirits, higher guides, spirit guides, multidimentional beings – I’ve always thought, through third eye meditation, that I’d be able to contact “superior” beings – but so far no dice. Any advice to a born 11er?
