End of days 2012 (edited)

I've been reading alot on the web about the 2012 end of days stuff. I have compared that to what I know about the things I know about 2012. Thus, I thought I might write something about it in hopes of dispelling some of the doom and gloom atmosphere surrounding the topic.

The Mayan Calendar ends on Dec. 21st 2012. It does NOT MARK in anyways end of the world. No, judgement day will not be happening then, as far as christianity is concerned. This date just marks the end of the cycle that they used for their calendar. The Incans called this day end of their Pachacuti. I recall reading somewhere that when the Spanish invaded them it was also at the end of another Pachacuti; and Earth still exists today, so it is NOT the end of the world.

One thing for sure that will happen is that for the first time in several thousands of years, the Earth, Sun, and the center of the Milky Way Galaxy will be aligned. Scientifically speaking, those are just the facts. Spiritually speaking, it may have other implications. I've read somewhere also that the magnetic poles will be realigned. I've also read that Shambala (if it exists) will be realigned. Again, when we start venturing into the occult and sprituality, there will not be any proof of anything until it actually happens and you can verify it for yourself (if you are able to percieve it, in the first place).

The Incans also believed that Dec 21st 2012 also marks a new beginning for all of Mankind. It marks the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. We are currently in the Age of Pisces. This new age would mean changes will happen for all of us. Changes that will pervade many facets of our life. The Age of Aquarius is supposed to be the Golden Age of Mankind, where mankind becomes more enlightened. I am sure I mentioned some of these things in a previous post, hence I shall not dwell on it more.

Dec 21st 2012 coming to pass is a GOOD thing. I personally cannot wait for it to happen, and wish that it would come sooner. We should not fear what will be coming on that day. We fear because we are attached to all the materialistic wealth we possess. We fear not knowing what will happen to all of it when the day comes. If you stop and think about it some, that is a little silly.

Lets just assume for a minute that "all the continental plates will move 1 meter in a direction." Yes, that is going to cause an Earthquake everywhere and no place is safe. So if this Earthquake is going to tear down everyone's house, or open a sink hole 10m deep and 20m wide on your property, can you do anything about it ? Its still going to happen wether you worry about it now, or then. So why spend so much energy worrying over something that is going to happen in the future, even then we are not sure if it will happen. Direct that energy somewhere where is more well deserved, like being kind to someone, or make someone else happy everyday. That way, even if you really have to die on that day, you'd die knowing that you have made so many people happy before that fateful day. Move on and maybe meet them again in your next life. And maybe then its their turn to make you happy, after all a good turn deserves another. Or like the Buddhist say, "you reap what you sow."

In summary, there is no need to worry about whats coming up. Live an enlightened life now, so you would not regret later, come what may. Let time itself worry about time.

Edit : A little message from Reverend Jing Kung
Our environment is a reflection of our heart (inner self). If we think about bad things, bad things will happen. If we think about good things, good things will happen. Thus, if we keep thinking that bad calamities will happen in the year 2012, then bad calamities will happen then. Alternatively, if we all think and hope of good things to happen then, it will happen. So the lesson here is to quieten our minds, and still our hearts. Let time take care of itself, and we strive to quieten ourselves to discipline our minds. Our environment is a manifestation of the state of our mind.
