It's not 2012 -- It's 2011!

Not to mention the prohpesies of Pacal Voltan, Edgar Cayce, Nostradamos, David Wilcock, Terrence McKenna, That british chick from the 19th century, the Hopi's and countless others. These 2011 people are the same type of wet blankets that, as the year 2000 was approaching, the end of the melleinium, they said, "well actually the end of the mellinium isn't until 2001", SUCH BULLSHIT!! LET ALL THE AIR OUT OF THE 2000 CELEBRATION!! I blame that cockamaimy Seinfeld episode! At least this time, the "wet blanket date" comes first! :)

from a marketing point of view, 2012 sells better than 2011
....just in case anyone wants to cash in on it as well.

Is this where we start calculations from??? :0

James Ussher and the Creation (4004 BCE)

It was on this date, October 23, 4004 BCE, that the Earth was created by God. It is disheartening to report that many Christians will leave it at that.

The exact dating of the age of the earth was arrived at by an Irish theologian, Archbishop of Armagh, James Ussher [or Usher] (1581-1656), in his Chronologies of the Old and New Testaments, which was first published 1650-1654. Ussher arrived at his conclusion by careful counting of the "begats" in the Bible, and perhaps some divine guidance. His contemporary, Sir John Lightfoot (1602-1675), Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University, who arrived at the same year through independent calculation, added the detail that the world began at 9:00 AM, GMT, or midnight Garden-of-Eden time.

A dating scheme that may seem silly to the enlightened today was printed on Bibles until the late 19th century, when scientific evidence of a much older Earth made the naïve calculations of the two clerics laughable. What isn't so humorous is that in spite of advances in Earth sciences, almost 20 percent (19.1%) of Americans still believe that the world was created by God between 5000 and 10,000 years ago!

The Winter Solstice in 2012 is more than a mere date or day in the calendar.
Doesn't really matters, what actually happens on that day, other than attending to a happy solstice celebration.
The complete lack of metaphoric, symbolic, metaphysic vision generates theories like the arrival of ET's or even noticing the effects of the galactic center.
An ancient being with metaphysical vision and understanding could see that it is not the literal event what matters. The current enormous descendence in the material world creates illusions like physical "shift change", evolution into the 5th dimension etc.

Our way of communication has changed from symbolic-universal to literal-individual (just as an example: all the terms applied in metaphysics/spirituality are from latin, greek or sanskrit). Our national languages are simply missing the universal aspect of understanding the complex matter of phenomenons like the crop circles or consciousness change. How could you possibly verbalise a symbol/sign? Why would you do that when your mystical intuition (if you have one) comprehends it perfectly?

According to the Vedic teachings the so-called Spiritual Center will completely fade away from our minds at this period of Kali-Yuga. What is a the Spiritual Center? The same thing, that we call God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Brahma, Tao or Galactic Center, Black Sun.
The Spiritual Center is a central vision in the minds of all human beings.
The Awareness of the Spiritual Center creates societies based on primordial principle laws that are present in all sacred texts.

Excerpts from Laszlo Andras's Solum Ipsum
www.tradicio.org/english/solumipsum.htm


When I reconstruct myself, I reconstruct the world.

Kali-yuga is present in the consciousness, in the strict sense of the word, in the human psyche, in the spiritual manifestations and deeds of man, just as it is present in the surrounding world, in buildings, in music, in the different manifestations of artistic trends and in the very processes of nature. Wherever man directs his attention, be it inward or outward, he is everywhere surrounded and ruled by a world which is under the aegis of antitraditionality - that is being cut off from God, heaven, transcendence, superiority and the essence.

The present time as a modern time, that is, an antitraditional time in the extreme, is the time of negative dominances. And it holds true even on the level of the most base profanities: for example, a young and healthy man feels bad much more often than good, he is much rather depressive, sad and gloomy than luminous, happy and joyous.

Once it took centuries to emanate perceivable descent; today it happens in decades, and we are approaching the time when we can measure changes in years, in months, in weeks or even in days. The time could come, when a sensible man wakes up in the morning realising that during his nightly rest the world has descended in a significant manner. And in the evening, he will go to sleep knowing that he is falling asleep in a significantly more degraded world than that in which he has awaken
