Pole Shift, 2012, Mayan Calendar, world cleansing, negative energy, Sylvia Browne...?

Question

I have a friend (the intellectual integrity of whom I sometimes question) who's a little nervous about some pole shift/axial shift that she thinks is going to occur sometime in the near future (2012 is her current favorite candidate year, on account of the Mayan calendar and all). Apparently we earthlings have been very bad and Mother Nature, or Gaia, or whatever, needs to get rid of a few of us to "heal herself" and a pole shift is just the way to go. So the earth is supposed to stop rotating and flip over on its side, and then start back up again...leaving a few enlightened earthlings behind, I guess...

Besides that, she says, Sylvia Browne and Ruth Montgomery say so. Now, without revealing my feelings about the subject (if, hehe, I haven't already), I'm just curious about how many people out there have heard of this, believe in it, think it's nuts, have reasons either way, whatever. Chime in whether you know anything or not, and let me know what you think!

Answer 1

Sylvia Brown is a nut. Tell your friend to grow up.

Answer 2

Sylvia says there will be a shift but not in the way your friend describes. There will be some natural disasters but its mostly a shift in thinking and being not the earth tilting.

Answer 3

I had been meaning to research the Mayan culture to find out what they were expecting for the end of their Calendar. I didn't expect to find out that there are still some Mayan Indians alive warning others of the coming days. Here is a summary of what I found out about the people and their prophecy for 2012.

The Mayan Indians regard their beliefs as both a science and a religion. Their discoveries are not done in a lab but rather by tapping into the cosmos via the mind. Through the extensive use of meditation, they are able to discover and track planetary movements as well as space anomalies such as black holes. They used this information to construct a calendar so accurate that no present day calendar can rival its accuracy. They also use this information to predict future events.

According to some Mayans, this date marks the end of the long count of their calendar; Set to end on a winter solstice (12-21-12). On this date, our Solar system will be center aligned , in the Milky Way, ninety degrees relative to the black hole, at its center. Our sun will be centered in a position called "The Tree of Life", as it does every 25,800 years. We exit the age of Pisces and enter the age of Aquarius.

In this position, unusually violent sun spot activity will cause a pole shift. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods will run ramped. Significant loss of life will occur. Earths magnetic field will temporarily collapse. Humans will be exposed to a cosmic energy that will facilitate enlightenment. In this state of higher consciousness, we will recognize that all matter, plant, animal, mineral are bound as one. This realization will mark the end of wars for a time. People will be able to connect to the essence of god (vibrating energy) like only the most enlightened can. We will have exited the forth dimension and entered the fifth dimension.

The date marks a goal to be reached. Evil forces will make every effort to keep humanity from reaching the date. These evil forces are those entrenched in the third dimension, in the Material world. They have no desire to leave this age and wish to continue exploiting and endangering all life for material gain.

Wars just prior to this date could be most devastating, with a loss of as much as 2/3 of our population anticipated. The resulting man made environmental damage could make life inhospitable for those who survive.

Humans have freewill, Man's future is not set yet, nor predictable:
STRIVE FOR PEACE
