2012?

Ponder this .... December 2012. Do you know what I'm talking about? Any clue? Supposedly the end of civilization as we know it. That is according to the many prophecies out there. I don't if I talked about this before on my blog or not, but I am now cause that's what popped into my mind.

For those of you who are not familiar with the significance of 2012, here’s a
short explanation: The basis of this event lies in the Mayan calendar, in which
time, as we understand it, comes to an end and a major shift occurs in human
consciousness. Will this be the end of the world? Or, is it the beginning of a
new world? Some believe that the shift will reveal the 4th dimension (time) or
maybe the 5th dimension (unity with the unseen Spirit World/Heaven).

Here are a few things:
Accordingly, several eclectic authors claim that a major, world-changing event will take place in 2012:

• The ancient and many modern Maya groups believe that the universe has been renewed four previous times. The first attempt at human life produced animals instead; the second produced a people made of clay who would eventually become certain insects (such as ants and bees); the third attempt produced monkeys; and the fourth attempt produced us: "true humans." Each prior attempt at the human creation was destroyed by a different catastrophe which ended the universe. These stories vary by Maya group: the animals were nearly destroyed by a flood, the people of clay were nearly destroyed by a flood and then a global firestorm, the monkey-people were attacked by their own belongings and their animals.
  The astronomically-based Mayan calendar will be completing its first great cycle of approximately 5,200 years on the 21 December 2012. Although there is no substantial evidence that the ancient Maya considered the date significant, many people have postulated that this is the "end of the Universe" from the Mayan perspective, and others believe that the Mayans meant this to symbolize the "coming of a great change."
• The book The Orion Prophecy claims that the Earth's magnetic field will reverse.
• NASA predicts that the Sun will also reverse its own magnetic poles during 2012 as result of reaching the end of the current 11-year sunspot cycle
• Charles Manson will be eligible for a parole hearing again. (If that's not the end I don't know what is HAHA)

There's tons more out there. Reminds me a lot of Y2K when NOTHING happened. Well nothing that impacted me anyway lol. But that was something man made dealing with computers so it was fixable. But this that they are talking about is not man made. We can't control the magnetic field, we can't control the winter solstice, we can control the fact that we are going to be lining up with the black hole or whatever it was they said on the History channel. So what are your opinions on it? I think the only thing we can do is sit and wait and see what happens. They say that the earth is going to move, the North pole will no longer be the north pole. Is it going to be like the ice age? People have been saying that we will have another Ice age for ever and a day. And if so how does that effect me? Are we going to be the new North Pole?
