Mayan and Hopi prophecies point
to December 21, 2012 as the last day of this era
Will the World Really End
December 21, 2012?
by Jean-Claude Koven
I was recently asked how I
interpreted the Mayan and Hopi predictions that the world, as we
know it, will end on the 21st of December 2012. Would there be
global war -- possibly triggering a nuclear holocaust? Would the
planet's life forms finally succumb to the ecological quagmire
that's been building in our soils, oceans and atmosphere? Would the
current steady increase of previously unknown diseases overcome our
ability to defend against them? Or will we suddenly move into a new
Golden Age in which the lion lies down with the lamb and struggle,
pain, and suffering are gone forever?
This is no small question.
Quite the contrary, it deals with some of the larger concepts in the
universe. From a metaphysical perspective, the world ends and
recreates itself every instant. December 21, 2012 is certainly no
exception. However, it does offer a target date that brings all the
possible scenarios into vivid focus.
What we perceive from our
vantage point of being in human form is only a teeny sliver of the
infinite swirl of interpenetrating realities that make up the
universe. To us, there is a past, present, and future. Time appears
to move predictably from moment to moment forming the days and years
of our lives. 2012 is a real date on our calendars and each of the
possible scenarios can be seen to be advancing steadily toward it
like racehorses to the finish line.
If you were to ask the "2012
End-of-the-World" question of a gifted psychic, she (or he) would
gaze into several of the parallel universes making up our possible
futures and report back on the one that seemed to be the most vivid.
This is like a handicapper picking the favorite in a particular
race. Just as in horse racing, the favorite often wins, or comes
close. But, not always. On any given day, one of the long shots
might cross the line first while the favorite trails the field.
From a cosmic perspective,
picking the winning scenario is easy. Understanding the nature of
how this can be done is considerably more elusive. Infinity is
impossible to grasp in finite terms. When we pose a finite question
in an infinite realm, it's like trying to cram a herd of stampeding
elephants into a matchbox. It won't be the lack of effort that
defeats us, but the minuscule size of the container we are trying to
use. Our minds are the matchbox. We are going to have to think way
out of the box to begin to grasp the answer to how the world will
end on December 21, 2012.
The simple answer is that
every one of the possible scenarios you can envisage will find
expression in one or more of the myriad parallel universes that
manifest in every instant. And that includes the date spoken about
by so many as the moment our world comes to an end. What adds weight
to this date is the fact that with each passing hour more people are
becoming aware of it and adding their energies to the consensus. We
have already seen the power of agreement at work in events such as
World Healing Day, The Harmonic Convergence and other moments of
focus. It was not the calendar date that created the power; it was
the cohesive intent of those who took part.
Having said that, it is no
mere coincidence that so many disparate cultures all around the
world that have had no known contact with one another should focus
on the same date. There is increasing evidence that the time leading
up to 12/12/12 does mark the presence of an energy portal that has
never before been accessible to the human race. Each of us is being
offered an opportunity to shift that may not again arise in
thousands of years to come.
Whether or not December 21,
2012 marks an immutable cosmological event or not becomes a
self-fulfilling prophecy is moot. There is no question that it looms
as a very significant moment. What concerns us most, is wanting to
know what will happen. At one end of the bell-curve of probabilities
is total physical annihilation. At the opposite end is the arrival
of the Golden Age we all dream about. Every other conceivable
possibility lies between them. Somewhere near the center of the
curve most people will find their most probable possibility in which
the monumental moment will pass quietly like Y2K and their lives
will appear to continue as if nothing happened at all. December 22,
2012 will dawn as clocks continue to tick and the human race
continues to move one day closer to whatever future harvest it has
sown. That doesn't mean that many other people, who live their lives
at the extremities of the curve, won't experience radically
different events.
Imagine if you will, that
you are in the center of a vast central train station. The tracks
are arranged like the spokes of a giant wheel, each moving away from
the center in a different direction. The trains are all scheduled to
depart at the same moment on December 21, 2012. Every human being on
Earth is at the station; free to board any of the trains he or she
chooses. Each train is destined for a different parallel universe in
which one of the innumerable possibilities is played out.
You (like everyone else) are
at the station free to board any one of an almost infinite number of
trains. But, like the psychic, you can only see one or two of them.
Your choices appear meager -- almost as if you had no choice at all
and your future was determined totally by fate. Such is not the case
at all -- unless, of course, you want it to be.
If you remember the station
scene in the Harry Potter books (or movies) in which the wizard
children were able to board the Hogwarts Express on platform 9 3/4
by walking straight through a concrete pillar, then you will begin
to see how all this works. What is delightfully easy for wizards is
equally impossible for muggles (non-wizards).
The Hogwarts Express is
bound for the next dimension -- the Golden Age of our dreams. The
problem is that until you become a wizard, you have no way of
finding the right platform. The world, as you know it, will
definitely end on December 21, 2012, if that's what you choose. You
will definitely be there when it happens, boarding one of the
infinite number of trains leaving the station. Every one of us will
be required to be on board.
Now that you know where you
will be on the day the world ends, you get to decide which train
you'd like to ride. There is still time (according to the calendars
of this illusion) before the trains must leave the station. Plenty
of time for you to leave your muggle world behind and become the
wizard you already are. The choice, as always, is yours.
