View Full Version : 2012 Dec 21, The End of The World ???
Could the Mayan Astrological Calendar Reveal Dooms Day?
Compiled By S. E. Ray
Since Mel Gibson released the film "Apocalypto" into theatres December 8, 2006, a new interest has arisen regarding the Mayan calendar, specifically the defined end date. The title of Mel's movie "Apocalypto" which in Greek means "an unveiling and a new beginning" certainly fits with the Mayan definition of the "Fin de los Tiempos" as discussed below. This event will occur on the "End Date" of the Mayan Long Count Calendar which points at 13.0.0.0.0. From the Mayan point of view, this is the "End of Days." It is so significant that the calendar comes to a stop. This date is also December 21, 2012 as we would know it, the day of the Winter Solstice.
Even though the film has numerous anachronisms and other historical inaccuracies, it did accurately highlight the fact that the Mayas were an advanced people. The Mayas were superb mathematicians and astronomers who devised one of the most accurate calendars known to man, far more accurate than our Gregorian calendar. The Mayan Calendar was devised through accurate observations of the sun, the planets, the stars and the Milky Way. Mayan astronomers accurately knew the exact location of the center of the Milky Way and attached great meaning to the birth and death of stars at this center. In addition, they possessed the required knowledge concerning the "Precession of the Equinoxes" that is necessary to create an accurate calendar. Their magnificent pyramids were perfectly aligned to the sun and the one at Chichén-Itzá was constructed in such a way that during the equinoxes, the setting sun casts a shadow of a serpent (Kukulcan/Quetzalcoatl/Jesus Christ) descending on the northern steps of the pyramid.
The Maya's astronomical knowledge was inherited from even an older and more mysterious civilization at Teotihuacan near Mexico City which contains the famous Pyramid of the Sun and of the Moon. The Pyramid of the Sun is perfectly aligned with the star cluster called the Pleiades which the Egyptians also took into account in building their pyramids at Giza. There is a connection between the ancient religious beliefs of the Sumerians, the Egyptians and the Mayas, especially as they relate to the creation of the universe, of the human race and of the future.
The Mayan calendar was started in 3113 BC. But, most of the documents that could tell us anything about this design of this calendar were destroyed long ago. In Mesoamerica, South America and on Easter Island, zealot priests destroyed almost all the written documents. Previous of this, the library at Alexandria in Egypt was distorted by fire, several times. Almost all ancient history books in China were destroyed on the order of a dying emperor. All in attempts to wipe out any written trace of ancient knowledge. However, writings on stone have since been found. In Mesopotamia were found thousands of clay tablets. These and other writings advise us to look for "Signs in the Sky". Scholar Adrian Gilbert in his book "Signs in the Sky" brings together knowledge of ancient Egypt, the pyramids, and Biblical references by looking closely at the books of Revelation and Daniel. He builds a powerful case for this system founded by the Mayas.
The Mayas approached "prophecy" by intensely studying the periodicity of cycles, especially astronomical ones, and their synchronicity to human events. They were aware of the role that human consciousness plays in connecting to and interpreting information accurately. They knew that a proper dietary regiment would enhance their perception, allowing them to interpret realities and scientific truths. This knowledge must explain how they were able to ascertain what will happen on October 21, 2012. Incredibly, they knew, over a thousand years ago, that on this date there will be an astronomical alignment of our sun and the center of the Milky Way. This impending alignment of the sun at that very point, according to Mayan calculations, culminates at the Winter Solstice of December 21, 2012. Also, on this date, the tail of the "shadow" serpent descending the northern steps of the pyramid at Chichén-Itzá will be pointing exactly towards the Pleiades star cluster which will be located straight up and over the structure.
Today, modern astronomers, with advanced technological instruments, know that the center of the Milky Way galaxy contains an immense "black hole" which is constantly giving birth and consuming stars. The Mayas had a glyph that represented a "black hole" in the center of our galaxy. How they were able to ascertain this information, no one knows. The Mayas tied their philosophy entirely on what they observed in the heavens. They thought that the center of our galaxy was a "Cosmic Mother Womb" and that it gave birth to our world. They believed that our world went through cycles of birth, death and rebirth. October 21, 2012, they said will end the cycle and our world will end by fire but will be reborn in a new, different and more evolved form. This will be the beginning of a new sun or the "Sixth Sun" according to the Mexicas (Aztecs).
The Mayan declaration of the second epoch of earth ending in fire to herald the third epoch of a new earth is not a foreign teaching of scripture "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." 2 Peter 3:10-13. Also see Isaiah 24:5-23 which prophesies this to be not only a climatic event, but the sweeping judgment of God on a depraved earth.
Graham Hancock claimed in "Fingerprints of the Gods" that a planetary alignment would cause some kind of gravitational effect on Earth, wiping out most life on December 2012. Planetary alignments have historically not caused much effect on Earthly life, but in any case, the referenced planetary alignment actually occurs the previous year. He links with evidence the temples and tombs to extol the theory that Mexico and Egypt were part of a great and ancient global design. That humanity is a "species with amnesia" which has forgotten the greatest episode in its history, the destruction and near-complete effacement of an antediluvian civilization whose tiny, scattered remnants form the essence of humanity.
Using the science of the stars as the wise men did to locate baby Jesus in Bethlehem, 13.0.0.0.0 shows Saturn is on the horizon when the Sun is on the solstice. Saturn, said to be a god of fertility, also associated with Satan, is the god for which Saturday is named. Saturn drags behind him the spent scales of Judgment, the constellation Libra. The judgment now over, Libra will be the symbol of Justice in a new age of Peace and Harmony, the Age of the Matriarch. One of the ancient documents suggests there is to be three and a half years of "tribulation." This would be the period of judgment. For this to complete on December 21, 2012, the tribulation needs to start in June of 2009.
As I write compiling this column, I realize the error of date setting and do not adhere to or advise such actions. Historically every past date setter for the reign of Messiah has been obviously wrong. Undoubtedly, the universe does affect our planet in many measurable and scientific ways. However, the God inspired scriptures are clear to say "But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." Mark 13:32. "Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth." Luke 21:34-35.

KAYOING DOOM
By Anupama Bhattacharya and Saurabh Bhattacharya
Armageddon, Antichrist, nuclear holocaust, polar shifts. Be it a new millennium, planetary alignment or a comet, doomsday prophets have a field day with their end of the world predictions. But is there really any rational basis for such an apocalyptic outlook?
First the bad news. By prophetic consent, this millennium portends doom for the world. Now the good news. Forget about paying off debts, postpone confessing to your latest sin, break your New Year promises. Why give a hoot to a world that's going to end anyway? As the bedraggled D-day monger at the street corner puts it: "Rejoice, for the end of the world is nigh!" But is it? Can you really visualize good old earth coming to an ominous full stop?
The 16th century seer Nostradamus could and his prophecies have led to a flurry of doomsday predictions. In quatrain 74, he predicted the rise of the Antichrist in July 1999, or a being darkly similar, followed by a period of bloody wars that will decimate the earth. Though the Antichrist is related to a religious view, there are other doomsday possibilities that are, according to die-hard D-day watchers, more rooted in reality. But where does prediction stop and hysteria begin?
Massive natural upheavals—earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, floods, droughts—are the mainstay of most D-day prophets. Apart from Nostradamus, most of whose quatrains revel in nature's cataclysms, the bulk of prophecies predicting natural disasters stem from the Sleeping Prophet Edgar Cayce and the modern-day seer Gordon Michael Scallion. Scallion hit the bull's eye when he predicted the massive Hurricane Andrew that hit the West Coast of the USA a few years back.
Cayce, who would go into a trance while 'seeing' the future, foretold of unprecedented earthquakes that would decimate New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles by the end of this century. Madame Helena Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical Society and a famous seer, even prophesied global destruction "as happened to Atlantis... all of England and parts of NW European coast will sink into the sea..."
Prophecies of natural disasters have probably had the strongest factual back up. For hundreds of years, the Los Angeles-San Francisco area has been delicately poised on the world's most potent fault-line—the San Andreas Fault. One small shake and you can say goodbye to Beverly Hills. Says Matthew Bunson in his book Prophecies 2000, "Every year, about half a million earthquakes rattle the earth. The majority of these are barely felt, but when a major quake hits, entire cities and hundreds of thousands of lives may hang in the balance." In the Indian subcontinent alone, the recent earthquakes in the Tehri region and the routine cyclones of Bangladesh are proof of what happens when nature roars.
Granted that the earth is a volatile mess, can it still vindicate D-day panic?
Professor Yash Pal, renowned scientist, defines doomsday as an event in which a major part of life is destroyed. And though the USA might have pretensions of being the world, destruction of San Francisco or Los Angeles won't exactly be the end of Homo Sapiens. Unless, of course, the entire earth becomes a volatile trampoline. But such widespread jumps on the Richter scale on a planet-gone-wild can occur—along with the other paraphernalia of doomsday—only if a kamikaze asteroid chooses earth as its target.
"There is scientific evidence of major extinction every 30-40 million years," Professor Pal explains, "which is hardly surprising when you look at other planets pockmarked with meteor and asteroid hits. In fact, 10-20 meter long asteroids may hit the earth every once in a century. The real trouble, says the professor, will be caused if an asteroid about 6 miles long has a rendezvous with earth. "It will be equivalent to a blast of 100 million tons of TNT. The atom bomb dropped over Hiroshima had only 10 tons of TNT," he explains. One such asteroid, in fact, is believed to have caused the extinction of dinosaurs, leading the way to the evolution of Homo Sapiens. Evidence of this has been found recently in the form of a 106-mile long Yucatan crater in Mexico, which is supposed to be the site of an asteroid impact around 65 million years ago. The asteroid that apparently hit earth then was six miles wide and was traveling at the speed of 9 miles/second. Do we face a fate similar to the mighty reptiles that roamed the earth millennia ago? Not quite.
"We have catalogued most asteroids that are big enough to cause global destruction," says Professor Pal. "We know their tracks and can predict fairly well where they would be at a given time. If we found one heading for us, we could create a small explosion on its surface, or put a sail facing the solar wind to deflect its course."
So, Hollywood flicks such as Deep Impact are only fantasy? "You could say that," the professor says. "Theoretically, you can't rule out perturbations that might divert an asteroid and throw it right at us. But it doesn't seem probable."
Gabriel Jogard, a 19th century seer, predicted 1962 as the year when the Antichrist would be born. Jeane Dixon, known for her accurate prophecies of John Kennedy and Mahatma Gandhi's assassinations predicted the exact date—5 February, 1962. Great, but who is he? D-day seers provide identification tips. According to Jewish legend, the Antichrist, named Armilus, would have one eye bigger than the other, would be partially deaf and may walk with a limp. Unattractive, but easy to spot—if you can locate all Armiluses born on 5 February, 1962. The trouble is, he could also be named Mabus or Alus, or their anagrams, as prophesied by Nostradamus. This Antichrist will rise from the Middle East and his first triumph would be over New York, ultimately leading to World War III.
The tradition of the Antichrist is rooted in the Book of Revelations of the New Testament, where Saint John describes the apocalyptic events leading up to Judgment Day: the seven seals of God's Book of Life, the ensuing wrath of God, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the emergence of the Beast and the Antichrist, and finally Armageddon. Many Christians in the 17th century accepted the calculations of James Usher, an Irish archbishop, who estimated the first day of creation to be in 4004 BC. And that the end of the world would occur on 23 October, 1996. D-DAYS
Some popular ends of the world:
666: Year of the Dead
1000: Popular belief, fuelled by apocalyptic preachers
1003: The year of Christ's Crucifixion
1666: Preachers after the Great London Fire
1992: Popular belief over Halley's comet
1999: Seventh Day Adventists; Jehovah's Witnesses; Nostradamus
2000: Grand Conjunction (May 4); Ice Shift
2001: Edgar Cayce (Axis Shift)
2025: Max Tooth predicts collapse of humanity
6300: Tooth predicts the Grand Climacteric
Obviously, his predictions failed. But it did not deter many Christian cosmologists and scholars from trying and putting a precise date on the Day of Judgment. This might have been a harmless scholarly task in itself, had not numerous D-day cults usurped the idea and given it a distinctly destructive spin.
Take the case of the suicidal Heaven's Gate, whose members killed themselves in 1997, believing their souls would hitch on to a spaceship trailing the Hale-Bopp comet and thus escape the end of the world. Or the Concerned Christians, whose members were recently thrown out of Israel for planning to bomb holy places there and trigger off the Armageddon. Some of these groups base their doomsday calculation on the following beliefs:
• that God created the world in 4004 BC
• that God's one day equals 1,000 years
• that the world will last for 6,000 years
• that the world will end at or about the year 2000.
Incidentally, the doomsday scare that is raging today is not unique. In Europe, as the year 1000 approached, there was considerable civil unrest, and when the end did not occur on schedule, many even criticized the church. Perhaps in response to this backlash, a series of genocide followed: heretics were targeted for extermination and witches burnt at stake. The situation was bloody, and is warning enough for any rational being today. The Christian tradition of the Antichrist finds an ally in Islam. One of the faith's basic tenets is a belief in D-day or qayamat. Says Delhi-based Islamic scholar Saniyasnain Khan: "We do not try to predict any date for qayamat. Only Allah is aware of that time. At this time, Khan says, "mountains will be razed to the ground, floods shall engulf the planet. All of humanity, including the dead, will be called forth. The good shall go to jannat (heaven) and the evil to jahannum (hell). Earth will be no more". End of story? Perhaps. But, says Khan: "The essence of qayamat is to remind humanity that he alone is responsible for all his actions. We are not waiting for the world to end. We know it will. But till then, Allah wants us to aspire for the good and eschew the evil."
According to the Puranic (ancient Hindu texts) tradition, the climax of kaliyuga will witness the emergence of the tenth incarnation of Vishnu (one of the trinity that rules the Hindu pantheon of gods): Kalki, the ruthless decimator of evil. The Puranas describe this incarnation as riding in the sky on a white horse, sword unsheathed, and marauding through all that is evil in this age. Following this bloodbath, satyuga (age of truth) will return in all its pristine glory. Incidentally, a Kalki movement has already sprung up in South India, and its leader, Bhagavan Sri Kalki, is considered by his followers as the promised tenth incarnation. However, this sect has desisted from any rabid D-day prophecies, concentrating more on ushering in satyuga through a spiritual transformation. But this does not discount other D-day prophets in Hinduism. According to Dr Jayant Athavale, founder of the Mumbai-based Sanatan Bharatiya Sanskriti Sanstha, mankind is destined for a massive evolution shift. "Large scale natural calamities will occur," he says. "Several industries will be closed down. Man's behavior will put even animals to shame."
The Brahma Kumaris, another religious Indian sect, believe that the end of the millennium will see America and part of Europe destroyed by a nuclear bomb. Much of the earth's landmass will be submerged. India will see a civil war. Grain will become inedible and there will be no drinking water. After this would come satyuga with perpetual spring, beardless men and yogic reproduction. And yes, only 900,000 people from the present will survive to see this satyuga.
There are some obvious catches to all predictions that wrestle for a date. For one, the year 2000 is a largely a Christian concept without much significance in either Hinduism or Islam. In strictly mathematical terms, it's not year 2000 but the year 2001 that is the beginning of the new millennium since after 1 BC came 1 AD—without a zero year in between. Historians also claim that Christ was actually born in 4 BC, which would mean that the second millennium was over in 1997. So what's the hullabaloo about?
"The origin of astrology is the same as astronomy," argues Professor Yash Pal. "But human beings have a habit of seeing more than they know. They started correlating what happened in a person's life with planetary positions. Ironically, humans remember only those predictions that come true. Which is why astrology works only for those who believe in it." Comforting words these, considering the plethora of crosses and alignments the planets make it a habit to undergo, which, according to modern day prophets, may bring about global calamities—even the end of life. So much so that this celestial tug-of-war could cause a gravitational pull on the Sun and the Earth, leading to tidal changes, floods, earthquakes, and perhaps the shifting of the planet's axis. And, in a matter of hours, the Alps, Andes, Rockies, and Himalayas may become expensive beachfront property.
Astronomers, however, fail to see any such thing happening. Nor do some astrologers.
"All this talk about dangerous planetary positions is baseless," says Santhanam. "According to Vedic numerology and astrology, there is no question of the world coming to an end this year. The planets never go against nature. If we observe faults in their position then something is wrong with our coordination."
Close on the heels of the stars come the ever-mystical play of numbers. But here, the dark shadow of D-day is a mere wisp. "Everybody said that the world would end in 1999," says Santhanam. "False as that turned out to be, this year was definitely important. The 3 nines add to 9, which is the number of Mars or rebirth. This composition indicates the rebirth of the world." Astrologer Bejan Daruwalla goes a step further. "The 21st century will be the brightest and the boldest period of humanity. This is because the sum of 21 is 3, which is the number of Jupiter, the planet of good luck. In the next 9 years, we'll even contact extra-terrestrials."
A different D-day, however, might await humanity in the next century. It may not be a single day or month, but years of slow poisoning—through toxic wastes, deforestation, siltation, air pollution, oil spills, global warming. . . "We are getting too powerful for our own good," says Professor Pal. "Initially, we were part of nature. Today, we have begun to disturb her. Years back, the river Yamuna could take any dirt and absorb it. Today, it is defeated into a murky drain." All this, when our recorded history is not more than 5,000 years old—a mere speck in the lifetime of Earth.
The lesson, this time, might lie in Atlantis.
When it comes to doomsday visions, nothing equals the story of this fabled continent of super humans, which, thanks to reckless exploitation of nature, one day collapsed into the sea. It was, say New Agers, the curse of hubris, of the assumption that man could conquer nature.
According to Cayce, the great flood mentioned in almost all ancient mythologies is actually the sinking of Atlantis. The memory of that moment of destruction, wrote Linda Goodman, author and psychic, still lies buried in our collective unconscious. And then there is the most human of all D-day threats—a nuclear holocaust.
After the end of the Cold War between the erstwhile Soviet Union and the USA, this threat has shifted to the emergence of smaller nuclear nations. "If all the nuclear powers were to use their weapons, it may not kill every human being," says Professor Pal, "but it will lead to a cloud that will block out the sun and create radioactivity that will last for tens of thousands of years." So, is nuclear war a possibility? Policy analyst B.G. Verghese of the Delhi-based Center for Policy Research is certain that such a situation is far from probable. "Nothing in life can be written off with certitude," he says, "but the probability of a rational human being hitting the nuclear button is extremely minimal. There have been flashpoints in the history of human civilization since World War II where a nuclear war was a breath away. But it did not happen, because man is aware of the mammoth suicidal potential of a nuclear holocaust." In a rational world, apocalypse will be just another word. And, however much our D-day watchers may scream, man's survival instinct will force him to remain as safely rational as possible.
Way back in the 1930s, the philosopher Abd-ru-shin wrote in his book In the Light of Truth: "His (man's) free will lies solely in the decision, of which he may make many every hour. In the independent weaving of the Laws of Creation, however, he is unswervingly subject to the consequences of every one of his personal decisions! Therein lies his responsibility..." It is this intricate relationship between free will and destiny that we humans need to comprehend and utilize, rather than cry wolf at the drop of a hat. For, ultimately, as journalist Werner Huemer and publisher Micah Rubenstein note in their thought-provoking article 'The Value and Limitations of Prophecies', circulated on the Net, "the true value of prophecies lies in how alert they make one by pointing to possible repercussions. We shall reap what we have sown. When, how and in what form can only be determined through our present actions. It is futile to fall into a state of 'end of the world' panic, since our free will is within the framework of Creation and our future is open.
So, let's hear the good news first. By rational consent, humanity has decided the world is NOT going to end by the turn of the millennium. Now the bad news. Pay off your debts, rush to the nearest confessional, keep all your New Year promises. Frightened? Hey, who said life is fair? Life is, well, just positive!

Edgar Cayce's Predictions
This article deals with Edgar Cayce's Predictions for the coming changes to our planet. I'm using the term predictions instead of prophecies for 2 reasons: 1. Predictions are more something that a psychic predicts will happen and not always does, and 2. For some reason people search for Edgar Cayce's Predictions twice as much as they do for Edgar Cayce's Prophecies and that helps get the page higher on the search engines if I dedicate the page to predictions... Either way, we're still dealing with Edgar Cayce and what his sub-conscious mind says will involve a pole shift and a huge change to the earth some would call Armageddon.
The Sleeping Prophet
Edgar Cayce was known as "the sleeping prophet." He would go into a hypnotic trance in which he gave thousands of readings on different people. These dealt with past lives (including Atlantis), medical help and prophecies/predictions for the future. While not all of Edgar Cayce's predictions came true, a good majority of them did. He was dead-on when it came to most of the medical remedies he gave and doctors and scientists could never explain it. What Edgar Cayce was doing was tapping into the Akashic Records - a sort of library of everything residing in the higher planes. For more on any of that, you might want to check out the Dreams & OBE's section. I'm also going to leave the Edgar Cayce biography for another place since this section deals with Armageddon and this article could get a little lengthy.
Edgar Cayce's Predictions of Armageddon
Several of his readings spoke of coming cataclysms. Some of these did not come true but quite a few did. Even some of the major Doomsday predictions Cayce made have not come true decades after their supposed time. The growing concensus amongst doomsdayers is that something is going to occur on or around Dec. 21, 2012. Could Edgar Cayce's predictions be off by a generation or two? There seem to be a lot of other sources predicting something major about to happen.
Cayce On Pole Shifts
When it comes to Cayce and pole shifts, he first mentions them 10,500,000 years ago, when the polar regions were tropical and the oceans were "turned about."
In the first, or that known as the beginning, or in the Caucasian and Carpathian, or the Garden of Eden, in that land which lies now much in the desert, yet much in mountain and much in the rolling lands there. The extreme northern portions were then the southern portions, or the polar regions were then turned to where they occupied more of the tropical and semitropical regions; hence it would be hard to discern or disseminate the change. The Nile entered into the Atlantic Ocean. What is now the Sahara was an inhabited land and very fertile. What is now the central portion of this country, or the Mississippi basin, was then all in the ocean; only the plateau was existent, or the regions that are now portions of Nevada, Utah, and Arizona formed the greater part of what we know as the United States. That (land) along the Atlantic seaboard formed the outer portion then, or the lowlands of Atlantis. The Andean or the Pacific coast of South America occupied then the extreme western portion of Lemuria. The Urals and the northern region of same were turned into a tropical land. The desert in the Mongolian land was then the fertile portion. This may enable you to form some concept of the status of the earth's representations at that time! The oceans were then turned about....
Arctic and Tropical Climates Switch Places
In another reading, Cayce says:
...the variations (in Atlantis), as we find, extend over a period of some two hundred thousand years...and that there were many changes in the surface of what is now called the earth. In the first or greater portion, we find that now known as the southern portions of South America and the Arctic or North regions, while those in what is now Siberia - or that as of Hudson Bay - was rather in that region of the tropics or that position now occupied by near what would be as the same line would run, of the southern Pacific or central Pacific regions - and about the same way. Then we find, with this change that came first in that portion, when the first of those peoples used that as prepared for the changes in the earth we stood near in the same position as the earth occupies in the present - as to Capricorn, or the equator, or the poles. Then with that portion, then the South Pacific, or Lemuria, began its disappearance - even before Atlantis....
Was Cayce's Prediction Wrong or Did It Just Begin?
Cayce makes a couple more mentions of the pole shifts. When talking of future problems, he only brings it up a few times over the many years he gave readings. They are wide-spread and not very precise.
...begins in '58 and ends when the changes wrought in the upheavals and the shifting of the poles, as begins then the reign in '98.
As to the changes physical again: The earth will be broken up in the western portion of America. The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea. The upper portion of Europe will be changed as in the twinkling of an eye. Land will appear off the east coast of America. There will be the upheavals in the Arctic and in the Antarctic that will make for eruption of volcanoes in the Torrid areas, and there will be the shifting then of the poles - so that where there has been those of a frigid or the semitropical will become the more tropical, and moss and fern will grow. And these will begin those periods in '58 to '98, when these will be proclaimed as the periods when His light will be seen again in the clouds.
Gradual, Not Cataclysmic
Question: What great change or the beginning of what change, if any, is to take place in the earth in the year 2000 to 2001 A.D.?
Answer (Cayce): When there is a shifting of the poles. Or a new cycle begins.
Question: Will it cause a sudden convulution and about what year?
Answer: In 1998 we may find a great deal of the activities as have been wrought by the gradual changes that are caoming about... (at) the change between the Piscean and the Aquarian age. This is a gradual, not a cataclysmic activity in the experience of the earth in this period.
These (national boundary shifts in Europe) will not come as we find, as broken, before the catastrophes of outside forces to the earth in '36, which will come from the shifting of the equilibrium of the earth itself in space, with those of the consequential effects upon the various portions of the country - or world - affected by same.
Question: What will be the type and extent of the upheaval in '36?
Answer: The wars, the upheavals in the interior of the earth and the shifting of same by the differentiation in the axis as respecting the positions for the Polaris center.
Reminded of Atlantis
Other prophecies for our future refer to Atlantis:
Poseidia will be among the first portions of Atlantis to rise again - expect it '68 and '69 - not so far away.
Obviously, Atlantis hasn't risen yet, but portions of underwater structures began appearing around that time as technology became better and news spread faster. The Bimini Road was discovered around this time, I believe.
...in Atlantis in the period of the first upheavals and destruction that came to the land, as must in the next generation to come to other land.
Question: How soon will the changes in the earth's activity begin to be apparent?
Answer: When there is the first breaking-up of some conditions in the South Sea (South Pacific), and those as apparent in the sinking or arising of that which is almost opposite to it, or in the Mediterranean, and the Aetna (Etna?) area. Then we may know it has begun.
Question: Will there be any physical changes in the earth's surface in North America? If so, what sections will be affected, and how?
Answer: All over the country we will find many physical changes of a minor or greater degree. The greater change, as we will find, in America, will be the North Atlantic Seaboard. Watch New York!"
Something To Back Cayce Up
I can't find it for the life of me, but I have a book by Bruce Goldberg titled "Past Lives, Future Lives." It's a book full of hypnotherapy sessions. There's one session in particular I wanted to mention here. It deals with someone's future life referring back to the devastation around the "beginning of the century." New York will be destroyed and a new city will be formed - York. If I ever find the book I'll write another section just for that.
Update - I found the book (3 months later) and have a new article about it HERE. They actually change the name to New City and it could be a later date than I said, but you'll see if you read it.
Where Not To Be When The Time Comes
The previous answer continues:
As to conditions in the geography of the world, of the country, changes here are gradually coming about. Many portions of the east coast will be disturbed, as well as many portions of the west coast, as well as the central portion of the United States.
In the next few years, lands will appear in the Atlantic as well as in the Pacific. And what is the coast line now of many a land will be bed of the ocean. Even many of the battlefields of the present (1941) will be ocean, will be the seas, the bays, the lands over which the new order will carry on their trade as one with another.
Portions of the now east coast of New York, or New York City itself, will in the main disappear. This will be another generation, though, here; while the southern portions of Carolina, Georgia, these will disappear. This will be much sooner.
The waters of the lakes (Great Lakes) will empty into the Gulf (of Mexico), rather than the waterway over which such discussions have been recently made... (St. Lawrence Seaway).
Then the area where the entity is now located (Virginia Beach) will be among the safety lands - as will be portions of what is now Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and much of the southern portion of Canada and the eastern portion of Canada; while the western land, much of that is to be disturbed in this land, as, of course, much in other lands.
The earth will be broken up in many places. The early portion will see a change in the physical aspect of the west coast of America. There will be open waters in the northern portion of Greenland. There will be new lands seen off the Carribean Sea and dry land will appear - South America shall be shaken from the uppermost portion to the end, and in the Antarctic off Tierra Del Fuego, land, and a strait with rushing waters.
Are Edgar Cayce's Predictions Under Way
When you think of the natural disasters that have happened in the last few years, the more these readings begin to seem real. When Cayce's readings mention the South Sea, think of the earthquakes that have been going on. The main one that pops to mind is the deadly Christmas tsunami of 2004. Then you have hurricane Katrina and New Orleans. New Orleans has already been under water once and it's still sinking. Who's to say another hurricane won't put it under completely. Then there's New York. If the oceans rise it will have nowhere to go. The west coast? That's a completely different story. Another great earthquake is due any time. Who knows if that will be the one to break the continent in two and send California for a swim?
No matter what the outcome turns out to be, we can only wait to find out if Edgar Cayce's Predictions will come true. And so I leave you after this very loooooong article. The readings are courtesy of the A.R.E. with books by John White, Edgar Evans Cayce and W.H. Church as reference.
Pole Shifts
In my opinion, I think a "pole shift" is the biggest ignored threat about to wreak havoc on earth. And like the going trend, I believe it will happen in 2012 - the usual year given as "The End Times". I'm often wrong on things like this, so let's just keep our fingers crossed.
Radical Idea at First
For those of you who are new to the concept of a pole shift, it is where the crust of the earth slips around the molten mantle core - often metaphorically compared to an orange peel unattached from the juicy flesh inside, sliding around as the inside stays still. Sure, it sounds radical at first glance, but the digger you deep into it (??), the more realistic this theory becomes.
John White on Pole Shifts
Sometimes, the most information on a subject comes not from 1000 sources but from 1 source who's already sifted through a 1000 sources. I've read many different articles and books on the subject, but the one that sticks out is Pole Shift - by John White, editor of Future Science. He's gone through all the hard work of documenting theories by leading scientists and other reports and prophecies. It's at the beginning of this book he quotes a Bristol Press article:
"What will happen during pole shift?"
"The ultimate disaster! Enormous tidal waves will roll across the continents as oceans become displaced from their basins. Hurricane winds of hundreds of miles per hour will scour the planet. Earthquakes greater than any ever measured will change the shape of the continents. Volcanoes will pour out huge lava flows, along with poisonous gases and choking ash. Climates will change instantly, and the geography of the globe will be radically altered. If the pole shift is less than a full 180°, the polar icecaps will melt rapidly, raising sea levels, while new icecaps will begin to build. And large numbers of organisms, including the human race, will be decimated or even become extinct, with signs of their existence hidden under thick layers of sediment and debris or at the bottom of newly established seas..."
This will do as an introduction to pole shifts. Rather than one large page nobody will want to finish, I'll be breaking it down into separate pages. They're well worth reading - everyone needs another doomsday scenario!
