I just write "We're fucked" on a napkin and slide it over to them for the advanced explanation.

Unfortunately in this case I haven't seen an easier explanation.

Re: is there a page which explains this 26,000 year alignment in a way that is simple?
For what it's worth, here's my stab at my current understanding:

First, you simply can't get complicated "Galaxy-sized" issues down to a Tweet. This is because everyone has their own definitions of synonyms in their head and things won't make sense. Allow me to try to explain:

Everyone should know and/or understand by now that this reality is based on Duality; that is, everything has an opposite: up/down, left/right, good/bad, righteous/evil, straight/wavy, black/white, positive/negative -- And transitions between one to the other are considered "grey" or "chargeless areas."

This can be visualized by a SINE WAVE -- straight line (left-to-right) with a second line waving up and down over the straight line, much like this image of this SINE WAVE: [link to 1.bp.blogspot.com]

What's mostly unknown is that a SINE WAVE (like the image above) is only being represented in a 2D fashion, that is, it's flattened.

What you don't see in a 2D space is that the up/down line is actually SPIRALING around the straight line, like a corkscrew, making it a 3D Sine wave. (This is where that Holodeck would come in handy!)

You can also see this in personal relationships. Stereo-typically, the male can represent the straight, solid, foundation of a line (calm) and the female can represent the up/down spiraling line (crazy). You can imagine if you have "crazy", you need "calm" to balance it out. If someone isn't "calm" all the time, then the "crazy" line will end up distorting the straight line, causing it to wave too and when both entities are synchronized to "crazy," bad things happen and the two lose their relationship and fall apart. The same is true in the opposite direction, but instead, it dies from shear boredom. And sure, it doesn't have to be a male/female relationship, but can just be a "calm/crazy" relationship. Although not directly related to cosmological conditions, it's important to realize that everything in this universe has this relationship. Even planets; one straight, one circling.

You can see this in Earth/Moon relationship, where the Earth is the straight line, the Moon is the "spiraling" line. Because the earth is in motion (around the sun), the moon must travel in a spiral/corkscrew fashion, or the Earth would leave the moon behind!

You can see this in the Earth/Sun relationship, where the Sun is the straight line, the Earth is the circling line. Because the sun is in motion (around the galaxy), the Earth must travel in a spiral/corkscrew fashion, or the Sun would leave the Earth behind!

You can see this is the Sun(Solar System)/Galaxy relationship, where the Milky Way Galaxy is the straight line, the Solar System is the circling line. Because the MWG is in motion (around Universe), the Solar System must travel in a spiral/corkscrew fashion, or the MWG would leave the Solar System behind!

Now with the definitions laid out, let me say that everyone is right in what they are saying about alignments -- and everyone is wrong, in that they're not talking about the same thing someone else wants to talk about, hence differences of opinion start to creep in and arguments are held about what each person sees on either side of the coin.

The "NO ALIGNMENT PEOPLE" use the "this happens every year" argument because they are talking about the alignment from the Earth/Sun relationship. And they're right!

The "GALACTIC ALIGNMENT PEOPLE" use the "every 26000 year" argument because they are talking about the alignment from the Solar System/Galaxy relationship. And they're right!

The procession wobble that denotes which "Age" we're in can, theoretically, be caused by this sine wave form because above the Galactic Plane are positively charged particles while below the Galactic Plane has negatively charged particles - This can be seen on a smaller scale on Earth by studying the Coriolis Effect (why do toilets flush counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, but clockwise in the southern hemisphere?); These are the same forces at work and help maintain a constant spin.

Hope this helps some people to better understand.
 Quoting: AxX


That too, I understand. In a nutshell: the side above is different than the side below "the middle".

But since things are very slow in space (LOL), I understand that the 21 december is just a turning point.

I will be long dead when the effects are to be seen.

I will talk to my kids over xmas, about the changing. They will talk to theirs and I will take a look on this from far away, sitting on my cloud LOL.

Btw most people
Fail to understand we pass thru the galactic plane every 13000 years. If you read that it is a 26000 year cycle they are referring to the complete motion from a down position, up thought the plane, keep going to the full up position, back down thru the plane to the full down position.

Notice in that 26000 year cycle, we pass thru the galactic and twice.

It can be seen over eons by observing Orion. , Orion as viewed from Giza looking south, rested just a on the horizon in the night sky.

From that point it will steadily rise over a 13000 year period relative
To the same viewing platform.

If you do not understand the precession of
The equinoxes,
The movement of the rising sun and the constellations, any many other factors, don't try and educate anyone else until you do.

You're thinking of Earth passing through
our galactic plane I guess.
But that is not happening now or soon.
How far are we from it? You might think that astronomers have this number at their fingertips, but they don’t. We’re at least several dozen light-years from it, maybe more.

If I didn't know any better after having have read this peticular link that they have been CHEMTRAILING to offset or minimize the blast from the Sun thats looks to be imminent sooner or later.

You are wise.

The maximization of survival numbers for population self support is of the greatest concern.

This will not happen this month in the way that is listed here. A controlled depopulation must take place before the final cleansing. It is only after this cleansing that the optimal population numbers and skill set will be reached.

So it shall be.

We don't know when it will happen. Controlled depopulation....? They are not in control of anything. The cosmos are in control. So pretyy much from the 12th on everything could change at the drop of a hat. I trust the Mayans. Funny how Zeta Talk tells people to crawl in to the ground in shallow trenches with tin on the top. Its all starting to make sense now. I know what I'm doing for the next few days. Getting right with God but also changing the battle plan a bit. Thanks again Pink Cat and best of luck to you all.

No, you do not. No one will, until it is too late.

The trust should not be in the dead, but your fear should be of those who can control the death of millions.

Everything functions as it should. Under control. Pray that it remains under control. If it does not, then the forced depopulation must take place.

That is not optimal as infrastructure would be vaporized in addition to flesh.

Here's...I'll give you SUPER simple so that you don't have to bother actually looking anything up.

Every 26,000 years, the earth re-boots itself. Some of the ancients were able to figure this out by how the stars (GRID-POINTS) are aligned. wink

Now you don't have to bother with actually reading, researching, or even thinking for that matter.

On one side of this circle to the right our poles and axis, which run along side eachother , are away from the sun, on the other side they are directly in the sun..Which super charges the sun, and causes these solar flares..It takes about 75 years to move 1/4th of an inch..so this is gonna be at the VERY LEAST 75 of change on earth

Dumbing down the whole thing, as I did understand, the Sun's ecliptic plan is going to align with the center of the Milky Way's equator, forming a cross with a inclination of 60 degrees.

I don't have stomach to look more into websites "explaining" the alignment under a mystic-esoteric perspective.

Hard to find someone who explains it strictly under an astronomical perspective.
 Quoting: UndercoverAlien




It's the first time I see any images about this "alignment" that make any sense, thanks...


But I still don't understand it completely...


Let me see if I understand: the Sun crosses the "Galactic Equator" every year. BUT, it doesn't always happen in the same day as the Winter Solstice (Northern Hemisphere).

So, what's special about 2012 is that the Sun will "cross the Galactic Equator" in the same day as the Winter Solstice?

Something like that, or am I completey lost?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29351945


no, the problem seems to be that while the plane of the sun rotation may align with the center of the galaxy yearly, it only crosses across the plane of the galaxy while doing so every 26 k years and the plane of the galaxy seems to be a source of ultrahigh energy gammarays that are destructive the higher the energy level is, and this unfiltered, direct gamma energy will be directed exactly toward the planet only once in 26 millenia, and will interact with a weakening planetary shield with the potential to irradiate the planet to highly lethal levels xraying the shit out of everything not under enough gamma ray absorbant shield

Now let me try this in english..My cats were on key board..

The pic to the right on this wiki page explains the 2600 year cycle..It is a precession of our axis/poles..

On one side, our poles are away from the sun, on the other they are DIRECTLY in the sun..We're at the part where our poles engage/orientate with the sun, and this is causing these flares, which is indirectly causing earth changes..

It's a VERY slow precession and will take at the very least 75 years for our poles to stop orientating with the sun..

IMHO, alignment isnt the right word..Orientate is..

Whats not to get? they explain that every winter solstice the sun passes through the galactic center and as the years pass we move through the "galactic center" just at different points on what well call the galactic plane, this happens every 13000 yrs. Just picture a long line the sun passes under than back over. This year is critical because not only will the sun pass through this same plane, it will pass at the most critical part, the dark rift. The Dark Rift is considerably dangerous because it is said to be the home of a HUGE black hole, we call it the Nuclear Bulge. What NASA is seeing right now are these powerful energies being shot from the center of the dark rift, right behind where the sun will be on 12/21/12 thus magnifying the strength of the sun. pretty easy to understand and I'm high right now. Actually, that is why I understand it so well. At work yesterday we experienced a blackout for about 20 seconds. In a large city every business experienced the same, lights flickering back on soon after. Be ready people this is not a joke and project blue beam is right around the corner.

 Quoting: WindyMind


Intergalactic cosmic particles interact with the heliosphere, and effect the sun much like solar particles cause the northern lights on earth. The sun then reacts to these interstellar particles which alters the particle the sun emits, which in turn reaches the earth.

Those particles then effect the living organisms on earth perhaps to the point where we enter into what is termed the golden age, where mankind experiences abilities that are part of the 90% of the brain that is currently dormant.

It may also be attributed to the solar systems position around the galaxy but more likely it is due to being on the up or down side of the galactic plane.

The sun will soon rise in the constellation of Aquarius leaving the constellation of Pisces.

Notice how the Christian symbol is a fish? The fish is the symbol of Pisces.


Comparison with its symbol, the Water Bearer: The symbol for Aquarius is the Water Bearer, symbolically and eternally giving life and spiritual food to the world. The water from the vessel washes away the past, leaving room for a fresh, new start. The sign of Aquarius is forward-looking and growth-oriented. Concerned with equality and individual freedom, Aquarius seeks to dispense its knowledge, and its vision of equality and individuality, to all.

The glyph for Aquarius depicts the water from the water bearer's vessel, as a symbol of open-ended spiritual energy.

This is marrying new age with the current movements, but as you can see, it is all related, and the position of the solar system and the abets and the stars are used to describe events and histories and has been done so for millennium. It is a means to describe time as experienced on earth, and pinpoints a period of time, much like the Giza pyramids and the encoding of mathematical equations and star position pinpoint a particular epoch, describing Orions position when the sun rose in the constellation of Leo.

Unfortunately Pink it is not simple. I hope to explain in as few words possible. Some think of it as PHYSICAL (precession of the 26,000 year period)from Websters...Motion of the points where the Sun crosses the celestial equator, caused by precession of Earth's axis. Hipparchus noticed that the stars' positions were shifted consistently from earlier measures, indicating that Earth, not the stars, was moving. This precession, a wobbling in the orientation of Earth's axis with a cycle of almost 26,000 years, is caused by the gravity of the Sun and the Moon acting on Earth's equatorial bulge. The planets also have a small influence on precession. Projecting Earth's axis onto the celestial sphere locates the northern and southern celestial poles. Precession makes these points trace out circles on the sky and also makes the celestial equator wobble, changing its points of intersection (equinoxes) with the ecliptic. This includes the Scientific and Astrological interpretations to the actual Physical phenomenon.

The Mayans did not predict that time would end on December 21, 2012. That is simply the date when the Long Count cycle in the Mayan Calendar resets, just as:
Week reset every 7 Days,
Month reset every 4 Weeks(ish),
Year reset every 12 Months,
Century reset every 100 Years
Millennium reset every 100 Centuries

In the Mayan calendar
1 day = 1 K'in
Winal resets every 20 K'in
Tun resets every 18 Winal
K'atun resents every 20 Tun
B'ak'tun resets every 20 K'atun
Piktun resets every 20 B'ak'tun
Kalabtun resets 20 Piktun
K'inchiltun resets every 20 Kalabtun
Alautun resets every 20 K'inchiltun


December 21, 2012 is merely the end of the current B'ak'tun and the start of a new B'ak'tun. Freaking out about it is no different from the people who were afraid of would would happen on the last day of 1899.

... Nostradamus predicted the end of time.

Are you completely certain about that? Where in Nostradamus' predictions does he specifically refer to 2012?

Re: is there a page which explains this 26,000 year alignment in a way that is simple?
Ok, this is my understanding of the issue.

1.) The earth spins around it's own axis
2.) The earth orbits around the sun.

This 26000 year event has to do with 1.), as the spin is "loose" in the sense that the imaginary "spindle" the earth is rotating around is itself in a circular motion (one analogy is a the movement of a gyroscope as it is about to lose it's balance and then regaining it). And it is this circular motion of the imaginary spindle that is now approaching one whole revolution around.

Here's...I'll give you SUPER simple so that you don't have to bother actually looking anything up.

Every 26,000 years, the earth re-boots itself. Some of the ancients were able to figure this out by how the stars (GRID-POINTS) are aligned. wink

END OF STORY...

Now you don't have to bother with actually reading, researching, or even thinking for that matter.

The Mayan Calendar ends on December 21, 2012 PERIOD.

The Mayans could care less about any of our calendar dates, months, or years,...there is no such thing as December to the Mayans. The Mayans end their Calendar on an astronomical event...The Galactic Alignment that happens once every 26,000 years PERIOD!!!!!

Don't let anyone throw numbers, dates, or times, the end date was determined by the Mayans at the end of their 4th World...the Galactic Alignment

The Mayans built incredibly precise pyramids and structures without the use of metal tools or the wheel.

The Mayans created a calendar more accurate than any of their time or since.

They also calculated in the Earth's wobble hundreds of years before US astronomers found the wobble in the late 1800's.

They knew more about the Universe than any other civilization...USING THE NAKED EYE ONLY!

No "So Called" Mayans living today built a single pyramid or made any calendars...the Mayans living today are being bullied out of their land and history. Anyone claiming to speak for the Ancient Mayans...does NOT.

The Ancient Mayans wrote their own history in stone PERIOD!

On December 21, 2012 the 4th World will end according to the Mayans, and the 5th World will begin.

EVERY WORLD ENDED IN DESTRUCTION! According to the Ancient Mayans so will this one.

The Mayan God Bolon Yokte is to return on December 21, 2012 according to the Ancient Mayans, and with him he is to bring destruction.

Don't believe me, don't listen to any "So Called" current Mayans, don't listen to any youtube idiots with their twisted slant on anything...just look for yourself what the Ancient Mayans wrote in stone

[link to www.atlantisquest.com]

On December 21, 2012 either the Mayans will be proven to be right and our 4th World will be destroyed by flood...or we will have only 3 days of Christmas shopping left

NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING FOR SURE, but looking at what the Ancient Mayans accomplished compared to what the "YUPPY KNOW IT ALLS" of today have done with their short lives...I for one will give the Mayans the benefit of the doubt and wait and see what happens


It's all bullshit"?

Look at the FACTS and then decide for your self...do not let the less educated on the Mayans decide for you

Fact- The Mayans built pyramids and structures astronomically aligned without the use of metal tools, the wheel, or pack animals!-FACT

Fact- The Mayans created a Calendar more accurate than any of it's time or since, factoring in the Earth's wobble hundreds of years before US astronomers found the Earth's wobble in the late 1800's. The Mayans did all this with the NAKED EYE ONLY-FACT

Fact- The Mayan Calendar end date IS DECEMBER 21, 2012, no other options are valid as the Mayans ended their Calendar on a significant astronomical event that happens ONCE every 25,800 years, the Galactic Alignment/Precession. No other dates suggested by ANYONE are true. The Mayans knew nothing about our Calendar months or years...their Calendar was based on the STARS and their GREAT YEAR ends on the winter solstice of OUR 2012...that is FACT

Fact- Many Mayan pyramids, structures, ball courts, etc, are aligned for that specific date and time, to watch Our Sun align with the center of the Milky Way - FACT

Fact- The Mayans believed the Earth has been created 4 times called "Worlds of the Sun". The first 4 "Worlds of the Sun" ended in destruction. We are living in the 5th Sun that will end on December 21, 2012. It is a fact that they believed this.

Fact- The Mayans believe that the end of the 5th Sun will mark the return of their God Bolon Yokte who will bring with him destruction by flood. That is what the Mayans believed...it is fact that they believed it.

These are all facts, not fantasy. The Mayans were such a precise and accurate culture, they would not select events randomly...every date and time had a meaning to the Mayans. Their belief's defined the Mayans...not your opinions

With all that the Mayans have done, they deserve the respect to not have their "BELIEFS" considered BullShit!

Not a single Mayan living today can speak for the Ancient Mayans. The Ancient Mayans spoke for themselves...WRITTEN IN STONE.

Believe what you wish, I for one respect what those Ancient Mayans accomplished, more so than the "Yuppy" debunkers around here that have done NOTHING with their pointless lives that give them the right to say a word about 12/21/12

The Tortuguero Monument 6 says when the completion of 13 baktuns occurs on 4 ahau 3 kankin, December 21 2012, "it" will occur - "it" will be the descent of the Bolon Yokte K'uh

The last page of the Dresden Codex depicts a flood issuing from the mouth of a serpent-type creature...Kukulcan

The books of Chilam Balam, state the return of the Aztec God Quetzalcoatl/Mayan God Kukulcan, the Feathered Serpent in kantun 4 ahau

Bolon Yokte is the Mayan God of War/Judgement

"But when the law of the katun has run its course, the God will bring about a great deluge again which will be the end of the world" - Chilam Balam

Our 5th Sun began 5,106 years ago and will end on December 21 2012, the God of Judgement Bolon Yokte will bring about a great deluge with the Serpent God Kukulcan/Quezalcoatl. The final page of the Dresden Codex shows that

So place your "never" where you will...the Mayans did in FACT correlate the end of their Calendar with the end of the 5th Sun, and the end of our world.

Re: is there a page which explains this 26,000 year alignment in a way that is simple?
Btw most people
Fail to understand we pass thru the galactic plane every 13000 years. If you read that it is a 26000 year cycle they are referring to the complete motion from a down position, up thought the plane, keep going to the full up position, back down thru the plane to the full down position.

Notice in that 26000 year cycle, we pass thru the galactic and twice.

It can be seen over eons by observing Orion. , Orion as viewed from Giza looking south, rested just a on the horizon in the night sky.

From that point it will steadily rise over a 13000 year period relative
To the same viewing platform.

If you do not understand the precession of
The equinoxes,
The movement of the rising sun and the constellations, any many other factors, don't try and educate anyone else until you do.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17481568


I understand precession well enough, but I dont quite get whether the higher eV gamma itself will do the damage, or some alignment of planetary bodies or some increase of solar radiation combined with a thinned earthly planetary shield or a combination of all of the above.

In any respect, I dont think the much will come of it, and outrages against humanity by other humans will continue to predominate, if you will, in a nt biblical manner
