2012 : is the world ending? and what happens after that?

[Velouria]

I saw the History Channel documentary about 2012 as well. It scared me for a few months, but after researching the topic I learned that many believe that the earth will actually experience a global shift in consciousness, not the end of the world. Since there's really no way of knowing I think that we should all just try to do everything we've always wanted to do between now and then and spend as much time with our loved ones as possible.

I'm a HUGE skeptic in general, especially on subjects such as this.....but for arguement sake, even if the world is going to end....what are we to do about it anyway? So lets carry on, live our lives like it's our last day.....

Why wait 'til then? I say the world is going to end December 2007.

I don't believe this at all, since we have gotten the strangest predictions so far. Apparently the world was suppose to end in 1982, but that didn't happen. Apparently, we'd run out of oil in 1960, that didn't happen either.

And besides, if it really is true-we should just live life as usual anyway.

I don't think the world is going to end so soon but I do believe that many changes are going to start happening in a few years. Maybe a modern plague, a change of consciousness, or as fourboltmain put it, a huge cleaning. All the evil and lack of moral compass will be swept out from the Earth and we'll start living a new age. That or something will kick off World War III.

I would actually prefer it be the end of the world than the end of time, because more than likely (going with Christian doctrine here, considering that the only one I really know), either Satan is going to come back and start chopping off people's heads and witchunting the religious, or we will all revert back to hunter/gatherer times. I don't want either!

hasn't been Bush been doing that for several years already???

^ I think I love you jun3machina. As far as Satans go....

But yeah, I am a sceptic too. Earth has a while. At least half a millenia. Although when the time comes, I wonder if there will be sceptics then too.

Could someone explain to me what a shift of consciousness means exactly? Plus, we are already having a plague right now, I just don't think anyone realy refers to it as that. But I think AIDS definitely qualifies as one.

I don't recall of Bush personally chopping off people's heads. I guess I'm wrong.

A change in ideals and an event that will change the world forever (World War II for example). I think while that is an epidemic, imagine one on a large scale affecting a dramatic number of people...

Basically V for Vendetta in real life.

After watching numerous segments of 'You don't know Dick' on the Daily Show, I wouldn't put it past Cheney to, er how can I put it delicately....'suck the blood of ducks'....a la Little Bush

[Batgeline]

Well, just another reason to enjoy life to it's fullest while we can.

[julesrules815]

^^^Thanks Maybe I should watch V For Vendetta then...

[kiefers]

You should. It builds great vocabulary.
