Do you mean 23 Dec 2012? " The End " according to Aztec Prophecy. I heard about it quite some time ago, and wrote it down in an old notebook. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Ever hear of Heinrich Heine? I was watching a show on the History channel today, and they said that he predicted the First and Second World Wars, and a Third too, sometime around 1990 to 2010. Hmmm, when did the first Persian Gulf war start? Anyway, they also mentioned a Mathias Stornberger and Burkhardt, some other prophets like Nostradamus. I was just going to start googling them before I read your post. I'll do that now.

Hmmm, > when did the first Persian Gulf war start? According to Wikpedia: Matthias Stormberger was a Bavarian mystic who many say predicted World War I, World War II and an upcoming war (possibly World War III). He also predicted the technological advances of the 19th Century. According to the research of J.R. Nyquist, the following is an English translation of Matthias Stormberger's World War predictions: " Two or three decades after the first war it will come a second war still larger. Almost all the nations of the world will be involved. Millions of men will die without being soldiers. Fire will fall from the sky and many great cities will be destroyed. And after the end of the Second Great War, a third universal conflagration will come. There will be weapons totally new. In one day more men will die than in all previous wars. The battles will be accomplished with artificial weapons. Gigantic catastrophes will happen. Overnight it will take place -- in a pub in Zwiesel many people will be together, and outside the soldiers will ride over the bridge. The people will run out into the forest. Those, who hide themselves at the " Fuchsenriegel " or at the " Falkenstein " remain spared. " Okay, it was Stormberger, and not Heine, who predicted 3 world wars. Now to Google Burkhardt. But Wiki isn't being very helpful about more details. > Anyway, they also mentioned a Mathias Stornberger and Burkhardt, > some other prophets like Nostradamus.

That's pretty hard to accept because I'm already on 2.5 acres and it wouldn't do me any good whatsoever. I can stock up for about three years head, but the meds would get outdated, and if I ever got sick - transplant related - it would be a slow tortuous death. Now I always have to be near a hospital. Sucks. On the other hand, I'm alive... When I was a kid I used to plan in my head for 'the end of the world'. I had my little place underground, with all kinds of food, and funny, nobody but me.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Wow, I can totally relate to your experiences, all of them, including the dreams and premonitions, the high energy communication states, the predictions that I would come into my proper role later in life, etc. This all points to what I've been saying, that the increase in AS folks is part of the collective consciousness of humanity adjusting to a different level, as we reach a tipping point. The year 2112 is said to be the end of a major cycle, not the end of everything. A new cycle will begin after this, and the transition could well be chaotic. When my family and I were evacuating from Hurricane Katrina, I remained calm and alert, making the best of everything. I felt us caught up in a force greater than ourselves, and if I remained in a state of watchful acceptance I could negotiate the changes. A saying often came to mind during that time, " when things get weird, the weird turn pro. " Katrina was a local scale disaster, in that as soon as we were 100 miles away from the Gulf coast, everything was normal. The changes in 2112 will be planet wide, and I believe that the same manner will see us through. Thanks for sharing this (which I've quoted only in part as I don't like long re-quotes), I can relate and probably many of us can. Joni Re: ....Direct experience of the Divine with no intervening dogma or clergy is called mysticism, and i believe it fits AS people very well no matter if it's Christian, Jewish, Islamic or Pagan based, i believe it is humankind's naturalborn state before socialization to parents and then group identity obscures it. I have investigated a lot of religious and spiritual groups and found both Truthful goodness and not-so-good ego-driven politics in all of them, by the very nature of the fact that they were groups of humans. Dominance hierarchy mode conflicts badly with the AS operating system on many levels.... --------------------------------- Don't be flakey. Get Yahoo!

To me, 23 Dec 2012 (and 24 Dec 2012 and Jan 1 of any year) are arbitrary dates with no special significance at all. Many calendrical systems have been developed by humans (including my own invention). What is so special about the Mayan one? It was ingenious and convoluted ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_count ) but, so what. I wouldn't give it a second thought. I would agree the world is in a state of rapid change - but it's done that before (eg. beginning of Industrial revolution). Cataclysmic events are usually unpredictable and I don't see how that ancient calendar has much of anything to do with current events. -June (INTJ - obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The length of the Tzolkin year was 260 days and the length of the Haab year was 365 days. The smallest number that can be divided evenly by 260 and 365 is 18,980, or 365 × 52; this was known as the Calendar Round. If a day is, for example, " 4 Ahau 8 Cumku, " the next day falling on " 4 Ahau 8 Cumku " would be 18,980 days or about 52 years later. Among the Aztec, the end of a Calendar Round was a time of public panic as it was thought the world might be coming to an end. When the Pleiades crossed the horizon on 4 Ahau 8 Cumku, they knew the world had been granted another 52-year extension. end quote. I guess that's kind of like the rising sun meaning we have been given one more day (or at least one more morning) of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about the Persian calendar but yes, the Maya used 3 calendar systems at the same time with only one corresponding to the actual solar year. Calendars & timekeeping systems are definitely one of my perseverations but unfortunately I can't devote as much time to it as I would like these days. When I first read of the Maya system I was very intrigued at how involved it was and how all the numbers lined up. It reveals to me that, although, a primitive culture, they thought about this for a long time and made a system that worked for them. They are also said to have been able to calculate some astronomical event (I forget which - maybe the orbit of Venus) to a very high degree of accuracy, but this was nothing magical or mystical or contact with ancient astronauts. They did it by using long-term observation and successive approximation, which as I understand it, is not an advanced math concept. Back to time, the subject of that is, I know that even today although the Gregorian or Western calendar is the main one used in the World today, many cultures use alternative systems as well, even if those systems may not be the one in official use. When a culture becomes dominant, one of the first things they do is impose their system of time-keeping on the people they subjugate. Perhaps the recent change to DST in the United States is only for saving energy but I can can also see another more sinister reason for it June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
