2012-The World Did Not End Or Shift-Wake Up!


There is a scene in the first James Bond movie -Dr.No- where a character called Professor R. J. Dent opens Bond's hotel door and pumps six bullets into what he believes is Bond's sleeping body. Little did he know that Bond is waiting behind the door and with a perfect turn of sardonic phrase he says:- "That's a Smith and Wesson and you've had your six!" Then the Professor is shot and killed. Well that's what I want to do in this post about the hoo-ha surrounding the Mayan Hoax and the New Age belief in a positive global shift instead. There was never any proof, or even one shred of credible evidence, in either of them. Yet I see that an estimated 1 in 10 Americans were worried or concerned about the coming 'end of the world' and a smaller number celebrating a coming "new era".

Let's give them their six ill-timed shots and then shoot them down one-by-one shall we? After all, 2012 was the year of the big hoax. Bullet No.1 :- Astrology. This ancient culprit, with plenty of adherents, has never passed any attempt to prove 'better than chance' outcomes with personal readings, and a litany of disasters, when it comes to predictions. Don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourselves on Google. It's behind the Mayan calendar, Nostradamus, who had everyone scared in the 80's, and the so-called 'dawning of the Age of Aquarius', with even less backing than its other flimsy concepts. Every time you see this in the future just shoot it down.

Bullet No.2 :- Numerology. This similarly doesn't add up. Numbers aren't, in and of themselves, magical. Personal readings can be quite ego-enhancing, but they have no foundation of proof. But once again don't believe me, Just Google "numerology, sceptics view" or the Wiki article on it. It's behind all these Bible Codes, hundreds of years worth of 'we know the actual date the world ends' etc. I actually Googled the "World will end November, 2012" and saw an article by Harold Camping (radical preacher and prophet of doom merchant) saying that the world had already ended in October, 2012. Yeah right. I was told the world would end in Nov. because of some numerology-based idea, and then that it would end on Dec. 23rd (no, not the 21st, that was the Mayans). This one was based on the 'sacred nature of the number 19'. Give me a break! It's endless and it's insidious. Put a bullet in it. Shoot it down. Don't be scared of your own shadow.

Bullet No. 3 :- Astronomical calamities. Collision with comets/hidden planets/reversal of the polar axes/solar storms etc. etc. Yes 2012 seemed to have had it all. Now I grant you, there is always some remote chance of these occurring. No-one knows when. NASA will tell you if there's anything passing close to the earth and you should know, that although NASA considers polar reversals to be relatively commonplace over a 3 billion year period, that they happen currently about every 300,000 years and take hundreds and sometimes thousands of years to complete. So, was 2012 going to be to be the year of the big axis shift? I think not. There was also a recorded solar storm event in the 1850's, that caused interruption of worldwide telegraphy services, and 2012 was the end of an 11 year solar cycle, but the leading astrophysicist in this area, says such events are expected about every 500 years or so. So, no big solar storm in 2012 either. Are you getting the picture. Put a bullet in this one too.

Bullet No. 4 :- Alien Invasion. Now I grant you there have been many unexplained sightings, including one that I saw personally over 30 years ago, but so far we don't know if they're unmanned (if that's the right word for it) probes or what. Are aliens living with us? Do they want to invade and destroy us? Here's where it starts to get silly. I think a response given to a Chinese mass sighting in 2012 about sums it up :- "there's nothing to tell us that there isn't extraterrestrial life, but so far there's nothing to tell us there is." The aliens haven't made themselves known, despite apparently being sighted for thousands of years. Will they come and destroy us in 2012? No more so than they might have done in all of recorded history. No, fascinating as it is, give it a bullet.

Bullet No. 5 :- Natural disasters. Mega-tsunamis/massive volcanic eruptions/violent storms/earthquakes etc. Of course these can and will periodically happen. We can do little to stop them. But they will not follow a predictable timetable. I'm afraid I simply can't lose sleep over them. Yes, there may be a landslide in the Canary Islands, that sends a mega-tsunami to the entire East Coast USA, but there's way more chance that it might not happen in my lifetime. That's just how it is. If someone tries to tell you they know when, don't believe them. Put a bullet in their ideas as well.

Bullet No. 6 :- World will become a better place in 2012/new astrological age/cosmic shift/higher vibrations etc. etc. Look, admittedly this is designed to be a force for good, so it may seem a bit unfair to shoot it down. But honestly, do you think a relatively small group of people, dancing till dawn around the campfire at the Mayan temple, or anywhere else, is suddenly going to make everyone a better person and the world a better place? Will it solve our economic woes, our wars, our crimes, our poverty etc., overnight? It may make for an enjoyable night for the participants, but in the morning, we'll all have to get on with adapting to our current circumstances, as best we can. No, unfortunately put your final bullet in this one too. However, make it a round-edged dum-dum bullet.

Wait a minute I can hear some voices saying :- "Isn't your 'Life Cycles' theory part of all this? Isn't this just numerology, astrology, or some other pseudo-scientific New Age twaddle?" The answer is a resounding "NO!" I only study certain years in people's lives, to see if they correlate with important change and that's it. I only have the biographical facts to work with. I don't predict the future in ordinary terms. I don't know why this happens and I know it isn't exactly science, because "correlation does not equal causality" (although I don't deal in causality) and it contains some subjective elements. However it is startlingly better than mere chance occurrence. Billions of times actually, if you only look at my many case histories. It's also brand new. There is nothing new about the so-called New Age. It's as old as the hills. I'm the newest voice you'll ever hear and I intend to create a peaceful and modest revolution in how you think of your life. Is it important? Oh yes, it's important alright, but I accept that it'll take some time before people catch up to me. Till next month :- "may the cycles always bring you good fortune".

  1. Your post is quite interesting. However, I will not be so quick to believe everything NASA decides to reveal to the public, nor everything that is written in ancient texts, teachings, hieroglyphics, etc. Don't underestimate the power of the mind or the universal spirit.

  2. Thank you for your comment David. I wrote this article in order to stimulate debate. There will always be a diversity of views, and in the end, it is up to each person to make their own mind up. I want people to have a yardstick, by which to evaluate all future 'the world is going to end soon prophecies', since to date none has been correct. If you think about this one statistic alone it should tell you a lot.

  3. Neil, people get bored and need a little drama and a few laughs in their lives. The doomsters and false prophets provide both.

  4. Marty, In the vast majority of cases you are quite correct, except for the impressionable mind who gets depressed by it all and in the worst case, suicidal. That's why I wrote this post. I want to make people laugh at the stupidity of these ideas. Thanks again for your wise input.

  5. This design is incredible! You obviously know how to keep a reader entertained.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to
    start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Excellent job.
    I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!

    1. Thank you Anon, although I'd like to thank you by name as well. I always aim to be entertaining, but serious at the same time. I want people to think for themselves. Just because an idea has been around for thousands of years doesn't mean it's right.

  6. Hi Neil. I must have missed this post last month. You wrote a very witty and quite entertaining post on the Mayan end of the world in December 2012 idea. Didn’t end (never thought it would) and we’re still here! Your bullet points make so much sense. You are right about astrology. I’ve had astrological charts done in the past and your Confluence theory is much more accurate for seeing the pattern of events in one’s life. I can vouch for that!

  7. Hi JerseyLil,
    Thanks for not only getting a smile from this (because it's what I want people to do) but also mentioning first-hand how little validity astrology has.

  8. This was one of my favorite posts of yours because A) You mention James Bond; and, B) Your 'come on...let's get real, people!' common sense is definitely my style.

    I'm not one for Numerology and Astrological who-dooey and when people were going on and on about the Mayans and 'how they predicted the end of the world' theory I would simply reply "Umm, right...so they could predict the end of the entire world BUT they weren't quick enough to realize that they were about to be wiped out? That's sort of like buying snake oil to cure baldness from a bald man!"

    (Of course, I do have two wonderful fortune cookie fortunes that are simply wonderful and they have my 'lucky numbers' on the back and every now and again, I get an urge to play the Mega-ball lottery thing--it doesn't come often...in fact, it's so rare, I'm not familiar enough with the whole ticket thing that I have to read the directions about 10 times! But it's fun! And who knows...maybe one day...ONE GLORIOUS DAY, I'll actually point at the television like I'm insane and shout out "Oh, Sweet Baby Jesus in a cradle! I won! I won!" HA!)

    Cheers to ya from the big ol' state of Texas in the Grand ol'USA!

    1. Thanks L. Avery. I feel vindicated for taking a bit of the proverbial. I went to this Spiritualism and Philosophy discussion group recently in the hope that I could have a balanced discussion with them. Total waste of time. They simply have their blinkers on, which of course is their right. Didn't want just be a pariah, so I bowed out.
      Yes the good old Mayans couldn't foretell the end of their own world and for laughs you should see this Wiki list of failed 'end of world' predictions.
      Come on people :- "Let's end 'The End'!"

  10. Thank you Cream Pemutih. I aim to demystify the occult. It relies on people's unquestioning acceptance of their 'expert status'. You can stand up to them quite easily, by looking at their track record. I also wish you good fortune with your Cream and give greetings to Indonesia as well. I have featured Indonesia twice previously in my 'Tree Man' post and the 'Mr. Arafinto' post.

  11. This was a fantastic post! I had similiar "insight" on one I did with the exception that I didn't go into even 1/10 the detail. Since I don't follow astrology OR numbers it really was something to think about for me. The world ending was a complete farse and it amazes me that people still defend the hoop la as facts, the actual year is just off. In regards to our conversation this would be something I am very interested in using.

    1. Thank you IYAAYAS Moderator. There is a phenomenon called 'expectancy theory' in psychology, that means once you have invested in something (eg. money, your reputation etc. ) you must defend your position however irrationally. Yes I'll ask you separately about using this post on your blog.
