On November 13, 2009, the movie 2012 will be out in theatres. I have checked out the 2012 movie trailer and movie clip on the Internet. It seems Director/ Writer and Producer, Roland Emmerich, has created yet another compelling film that will have moviegoers riveted to their seats with the grand special effects for which he is well known. Two other well-known box office hits that also had apocalyptic events were Independence Day and The Day after Tomorrow. 2012 has a great cast with accomplished actors like John Cusack, Danny Glover, Oliver Platt and Woody Harrelson.
I am sure that most people are aware of the concept for this movie. 2012 is based on an idea that there will be a global cataclysm on December 21, 2012. This concept comes from predictions made from the Mayan Calendar, in which is said to end 12-21-2012. It makes for a great Armageddon scenario and I hope everyone understands that it is just that, a great movie idea. I, for one, will be in line at the theatre to see this epic film and I can hardly wait to see it on the big HD screen. It will be a rush.
Some people, according to their religious beliefs or just from the articles out in the media lately, could take this concept of December 21, 2012 in the wrong perspective. I suspect that many people fear this date and truly believe in this end of the world scenario. So, I have checked around on 12-21-2012 articles and TV documentaries regarding this subject to gather information to help ease their minds.
This is some information that I found:
We are living today in the cusp of the Mayan end times, the end of a galactic day or time period spanning thousands of years. One galactic day of 25,625 years is divided into five cycles of 5,125 years.
The Great Cycle of the Mayan Long Count calendar ends on the winter solstice of 2012 A.D. Following Mayan concepts of cyclic time and World Age transitions, this is as much about beginnings as endings. In fact, it was considered by the ancient Mayans to signify the creation of a new World Age. We are almost at the end of the fifth and final 5,125-year cycle.
The Mayans believed the universal processes, like the ‘breathing’ of the galaxy, are cycles that never change. What changes is the consciousness of man that passes through it and always in a process toward more perfection. Based on their observations, the Mayans predicted that from the initial date of the start of their civilization, 4 Ahau, 8 Cumku, which is 3113 B.C., after one cycle being completed 5,125 years in their future, December 21st, 2012. The Sun, having received a powerful ray of synchronizing light from the center of the galaxy, would change its polarity, which would produce a great cosmic event that would propel human kind to be ready to enter a new era, The Golden Age. It is after this, that the Mayans say we will be ready to go through the door that was left by them, transforming our civilization that is based on fear, to a vibration much higher in harmony.
Consensus indicates that we are coming out of what the Indian tradition names Kali Yuga (this is the age of darkness/ignorance) and are on the verge of entering the Satya Yuga (the age of truth) when all falsehood will expose itself and drop away. The Yuga, which links these two Yugas, is named Krita Yuga (Age of transition.)
From the Western Astrological perspective this seems to correspond with the understanding that we are transiting from the Piscean Age to the Age of Aquarius. The onset of the Aquarian Age speaks to us of spiritual awakenings, of the perfection of each human being, through an awareness of our own spiritual self. This is the time of rebirth and great spiritual development on earth and all this heralding a time of much greater joy and positivity.
Now, it is our time to adopt a renewed spirituality in our every day lives. After all, we are spiritual beings (our soul / our higher self) in these physical bodies. Every one of us is on a spiritual quest to learn many life lessons while here on Earth and we are all blessed to be here at this most wondrous time in our evolution. As we are all connected in a collective consciousness, it is up to us to respect all of mankind and be considerate to help each other. Thinking in the spiritual way rather than the materialistic, war waging, and hate scenarios that exist today, we can allow a wonderful change in our environment, make our planet a great place to experience and help usher in the next era here on Earth, The Golden Age. We hold the power as a collective consciousness to create our destiny, it is our God given right.
So, I hope I have shed some light on this subject of December 21, 2012. I encourage you to check further into this subject, as there are many articles available on the web. Oh, and by the way, if you want to get out of the house and see a great movie, you may consider going to see 2012. Please remember that the movie scenario is not our destiny, our positive and spiritual belief is what we manifest into our lives and that is what our future holds for each and every one of us.
God Bless
