2012: What's It All About?

As the 2012 phenomenon spreads through the global consciousness, strengthened by a steady stream of internet articles, books, videos and films, many people are getting anxious and fearful. People are essential wondering what is the truth about 2012.

Anyone who has spent even a small amount of time browsing the internet will realize that the predictions about 2012 are myriad and contradictory. Unless we operate at the quantum level, or there is a dimensional split, they cannot all be right. But of course that is always a possibility.


Essentially, each prediction contains an element of one of the following options:

Something negative will happen:
The world will end and we will all be killed
There will be a disaster (take your pick from anything from floods to solar flares to killer planets) and those who are prepared will survive
There will be a disaster (as above) and only those who believe in …. (take your pick from a number of gods and ideologies) will survive

Something positive will happen:
There will be a change of consciousness or a better spiritual state which will happen to everyone
There will be a change in consciousness or a better spiritual state for those who are prepared
There will be a change in consciousness of a better spiritual state for those who believe in … (whatever)

Nothing will happen:
Or at least nothing out of the ordinary will happen. I have not yet come across a theory that predicts just “nothingness”.

Over time many events, both natural and man-made, have occurred in many different places - awe-inspiring, horrific, miraculous, tragic or sublime – humans have lived and died through them all. 2012 could be no less or no more than other year in history.

The powers behind all this are also many and various:

Extraterrestrials – some benign, some not
The universe
God or gods, or messengers from God
Gaia (nature or earth)
Humans – some working for good, some working for evil, some working for a global new order or working as part of a global conspiracy
Combinations of any of the above

Making sense
How can we make sense of this? Each different theory or combination of theories will make more sense to different individuals depending on their culture, their personality, their genetics, upbringing, life events etc. What makes “sense” to me will not necessarily make “sense” to you – we are seeing things through different frameworks. Some of us will see the positive, some the negative. For others it will not matter one way or the other.

Dealing with the negative
This 2012 section that we have created is aimed mainly at those who are seeing 2012 in a negative way and are seeking reassurance. Some will be people who often see situations in a negative way; for others, this will be the first time they have had to deal with an unknown fear – and this in itself can be frightening as we wonder what is happening to us.

Fear, like every emotion, is not good or bad in itself. Used in the right way and balanced against other emotions, it helps us avoid taking unnecessary risks and warns us of dangerous situations. If it gets out of balance, it can take over our lives and prevent us fulfilling our true potential. The best way to counteract an over fearful attitude is to face the fear and to balance it with positive action.

How to approach 2012
This section is meant to speak to those who may still have many questions in regards to what may happen around 2012 but have decided to be positively challenged by what may potentially be a negative situation. If you’re not sure what is going to happen or where you are going, you are not alone. There are many in the same boat. This section has been created to discuss ideas, philosophies and to strengthen, through information, those who want to know what is going on.

I give this suggestion without reference to any particular religion or creed, but it is at the heart of most of them. Put simply:
Follow a good life now, live your life day by day and make the most of every single day you are alive; help others where you can and keep an open mind about where you – and they - have come from and are going to.

So please feel free to join in on the discussions with us and walk this walk together. Hopefully, when 2012 arrives, you will have traveled a road which has both strengthened you against adversity and increased your spiritual store – you will be a better person and the world around you will be a better place. Perhaps simply by doing this we can bring about a positive change. Perhaps 2012 will be no worse or no better than any other year, but you will have journeyed to it better equipped to cope with whatever happens.
