		<description>It means whatever happens in the near future, it will be affecting all of us and more. From what it seems, this phenomena happens around the world and to many people of different backgrounds, beliefs, character, etc... Just be ready, deep inside me something tells me the world is going to rock and roll in the near future.  My advise is this:  Start taking the time to do all the things you wanted to do and more than anything embrace your time with those closest to you.  

We are in that window of opportunity.  Withhold the sighs till after 2015.  If nothing happens that means we humans listened and are getting it right (personally, I don&#039;t think this will happen). If you did what I said, what have you lost?  What have you gained?</description>

		<description>To continue with my comments on the 11:11 phenom.

The occurrence of 11:11 is an awakening of sorts and intended to provoke the questioning. This is what many are already experiencing. There are also many other events which are having the same effect but are not recognized as such. For instance, the explosion of interest in the Occult is one, or the growing fitness fad(a feeling for the need to prepare for difficult times to come perhaps), extreme hair styles and excessive body art(a feeling of a time of anarchy, rebellion and upheaval) are but a few signposts that evoke the questioning as well. The period of questioning will then be followed by a period of great upheaval and change.

Although the two periods will overlap, the time up to 2012 is when the questioning will dominate while 2013 represents the time which will usher in a period of great upheaval and change.....We shall see.</description>

		<description>For those who have read, and perhaps have some interest in, my personal introduction to the 11:11 phenom and it&#039;s connection to my dream about the two periods or segments of 15 I would like to add the following explanation.

The first segment of 15 is meant to denote a period of questioning followed by the second period of 15 which will be one of great upheavel and change. These two segments are not to be taken as an exact measure of time but rather an indication of two separate periods; although the first will also continue into the second.

We(all humanity) have been, and are, currently in the questioning period. For those who witness the appearance of 11:11 it is a means to push or provoke them to question; it is an awakening. Others may experience a different phenomenon which is unique to them based upon how they are &#039;tuned in&#039; to the forces which are now coursing through this reality. While there are many examples; one is the proliferation of interest in the Occult which has exploded over the past 10 to 15 years. For those who are interested in this subject it has the same effect as the 11:11 phenomenon as it too provokes the questioning.

In closing I would like to add that one method/experience is not better than the other. Those who don&#039;t have the 11:11 experience will still be questioning although it will be based upon their particular topic of interest(what they are &#039;tuned into&#039;). This will occur even though they are not aware that they are doing so and will continue until all are engaged.</description>

		<description>This following is a post, and an explanation, of my introduction to the 11:11 phenom which I made on another thread in this blog. 

For myself the 11:11 phenomenon came about as a small part of what I have
been experiencing over the last 20+ years. One night in the early 1990&#039;s I had a dream, in that dream I saw the number 15 present itself in two
different kinds of type. An indication of two separate periods (of time)
or eras but perhaps not literal. In any event even though I have never
been a clock watcher I noticed that when I did look at the clock the
number combinations often added up to 15 with 5:55 being the most
prominent. Although this did not occur on every single occasion it did
occur often and especially when I had a particular question on my mind
regarding the state of the world and the direction in which it appeared to be going. So, what&#039;s that got to do with 11:11. As 11:11 appeared almost as often as 5:55 it  finally struck me one day that 1111 when viewed as a byte of computer data has a value of; you guessed it.....15! For those who don&#039;t know the values of the bits they start from the rightmost as &quot;one&quot; and for each additional bit that is set to a &#039;1&#039; it&#039;s value progresses as &#039;one&#039;, &#039;two&#039;, &#039;four&#039; and &#039;eight&#039;. 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15.
Because of my many other experiences it is my opinion that the connection
has to do with coming events in the world. As an example the date which
many people are currently fascinated by is 2012. It is interesting that
when the whole numbers(2 + 12) are added together they equal 14 but when
the following year, 2013 are added together ( 2 + 13) it equals - 15 -
thus making 2012 the end of one era and 2013 the dawn of a new &#039;era&#039; as
seen in my dream of the two 15 (time) periods.</description>

		<description>&quot;Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation.&quot; Ilda Kratowicz
.................................................

In my view it is not a case of right or wrong but rather that different people will recieve information(or not) based upon their particular level of understanding and openness; and we may have little if any control over either. Eventually it may all distill down to a more common understanding as to what is happening, but regardless, each one will have what is sufficient for themselves in order to attain whatever level is appropriate for their learning.

With regard to 2012: Through my personal experiences I am coming to the belief that 2012 is the end of an era both physical and spiritual and 2013 is the beginning of a new era. However, I doubt that we will actually see any marked change on those particular dates except when we look back from some future date at the events which occurred since that time.....they may be quite remarkable.</description>

		<description>Thanks for posting this article. I&#039;m decidedly frustrated with struggling to search out germane and sound commentary on this matter. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either:  everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your concise, relevant insight.</description>

		<description>11 had followed my mother before me.  She saw it often and considered it a &quot;good luck&quot; number.  Furthermore, she was born on March 11 (3/11).  She had me and raised me to believe the &quot;11:11&quot; we saw all the time was reason to &quot;make a wish&quot;.  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 &quot;all languages&quot; 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 &quot;ousiders&quot;.  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 &quot;turned off&quot;.  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 &quot;super powers&quot; - these included psychic and telepathic powers as well.  I was *born* knowing these things (now these days, being 24 and married I wouldn&#039;t go around saying these things out loud, lol).  I&#039;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&#039;ve been following 11 and really evolving spiritually alot this year - after what appears to be a HUGE acceleration in my &quot;powers&quot; as an empath and my sudden desire to meditate (which I&#039;d done before but didnt &quot;enjoy&quot; it or felt much was accomplished by it) for hours on end.  I&#039;ve also seen an increase of telepathy in me with my immediate circle.  I&#039;ve yet to contact &quot;the unseen&quot; - whether ET&#039;s, spirits, higher guides, spirit guides, multidimentional beings - I&#039;ve always thought, through third eye meditation, that I&#039;d be able to contact &quot;superior&quot; beings - but so far no dice.  Any advice to a born 11er?</description>

		<description>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&#039;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 &quot;feel&quot; 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&#039;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 &quot;universe&quot;, but are in an inter-connected &quot;multiverse&quot;, but these types of SMBH&#039;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.</description>

		<description>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&#039;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 &quot;resets itself&quot; 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&#039; 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 &quot;believers and non-believers&quot;, but nevertheless, people are thinking about it.
Keep searching for your own version of the truth - that is the only pursuit worth undertaking.</description>

		<description>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&#039;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&#039;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.</description>

		<description>While I believe something will be changing/shifting in our universe in 2012, I can&#039;t say it&#039;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.</description>
