Question

Answer 1

I don't believe the Mayans said the world will end on 2012. Instead, it is my understanding that they believe the world will end as we know it. However, my research has lead me to believe that there may be a catastrophe (pole shift) as we approach this date. The following is a summary of the Mayan people and their predictions for the time.

______________________________...

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's equator. Our sun will be centered in a position called "The Tree of Life", as it does every 25,800 years. We will have exited the forth dimension and entered the fifth dimension. This date also marks the end of the Mayan "Great Cycle" of the long count, which is equivalent to 5125 years. We exit the age of Pisces and enter the age of Aquarius.

In this position, unusually violent sun spot activity may 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.

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

Answer 2

On that day, the earth, moon, and sun will be aligned. It is believed that this will alter the earths' axis causing a world of hurt for all of us. This alignment happens every 25,000 years or so. Another theory is that the sun will see ever increasing solar storms until that day when there will be a huge outburst from the sun altering our magnetic field. Bottom line is that if either of these things happens, you better have a good hiding place.

Answer 3

I saw a TV program on this.
The magnetic field or something on the Earth will change that day. Something about our position in the MilkyWay that day. Can't remember exactly.

There are many therories, and other sources of the prediction. The sites above will have lots of info.

Answer 5

the Mayan calendar doesn't say that date is the end of the world....it is simply the end of that particular calendar.
