Short Notice

With the twists in time, accelerations, decelerations and wild coincidences that are commonly experienced, is it possible that the shift anticipated in 2012 might actually occur on December 21, 2007?

This video and this essay explore Washington D.C. as a solar calender encoded with an end point of 2007.

Decide for yourself.

This video is worth

Submitted by Talat Jonathan Phillips on Tue, 12/11/2007 - 11:38.

This video is worth watching, not only for the ideas involved, but for some pretty hilarious grammatical errors as well.

Imagine a bunch of Mayan scholars looking at this, scratching their heads, and going "oh, crap . . ."

2012-4=2008 not 2007

wouldn't a four year mistake make it 2008. did this guy do his math wrong and hes retarded or did he mean 2007 but didn't say why its five years before the 2012 date cause i noticed at the later part of his video showing the diagrams that it would say 2007/8 can he not make up his mind

yeah there's some grammar errors, some funny stuff, I think that 4/5 year thing has been called into question elsewhere (and resolved?) but hey... why not a big shift now? A big surprise. That would be a real novelty.

It all seems a bit related to the notion that "the fool looks at the finger that points to the moon".

Ouch

It's nice to see that all the buzz around Zeitgeist and Mayan prophesy has blossomed into a new sub-genre of web humor videos. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then...!

....then we all laugh together

It seems to make sense that as it all unfolds, as we all flow along ... it gets freakier, funnier, fancier, twisted and "unbelievable".

Along similar lines, here's a downright hilarious spoof of 9/11 conspiracy lore:

"Unfastened Coins"

Regardless of your stance, it's pretty funny.

Why am I not surprised that this ancient conspiracy prominently features comedically tenuous connections to the JOOZ.

It says in the bible that in the end of times there will be a lot of false prophets..please notice that i write bible without cap.

Hope does not exist in the future tense.

Do not hope for change in a sometime possible future, even if it is only tomorrow. Make change now, and you will have already determined what tomorrow brings.

"Make change now, and you will have already determined what tomorrow brings."

I agree. It seems to me that NOW is always the best time to do anything.

Fact of the Matter

While I'm not too convinced by the specifics of this video or the research, I admit, I like the idea. Any forthcoming changes are perhaps reflected in the present in strange ways.

On December 21, 2007, late in the day, I experienced some fleeting yet profound sense that everything around me was so tremendously antiquated. It felt as though everything was "wooden", computer, walls, electronics etc took on a strange organic quality. For a moment, it seemed, matter had perhaps revealed itself as the all that it is.

Dec212007

Submitted by JeffreyRobertThomas on Fri, 12/28/2007 - 17:07.

This was a special day for me, anyways. It was probably one of the best days I've had in a while. I had a hearing that day, and got to my Lawyers office that morning to find a plea agreement taking me out of way of a felony for cannabis possession. They dropped that charge, and I'm only getting a paraphernalia infraction. No drug charge. Got a new car on that exact same day- too. A couple things happened.. but nothing that I would count as a huge "shift" My most recent relationship, it ended one day before 2300 days (before)Dec 21st 2012 . I last saw her 2300 days from this date. I was in jail on the anniversary of this breakup (for the infraction that I learned the good news on Dec 21st, this year).. I had already spent 24 hours in jail. I was arrested at almost exactly the same time I began talking to my ex, exactly one year ago. A little before. ..... But I was in jail for exactly one day, and that was the one-year breakup anniversary. I was pulled over, initially, for straps hanging over a license plate I had gotten a day shy of a year ago, at that time (the day I last saw my ex.. drove there, put it on that day). The license plate that started with 93, the date of 2300 days from 2012 was 9/3/2006 (in some areas). anyawys... anyways. Anyways.. I think they universe is constantly in some form of harmonic convergence, anyways. How else do you get us, and the stories of synchronicity contained? Perhaps at this date we'll see something spectacular. Something told me earlier this year... something felt "off" (or possibly, on)... "2012" felt a lot closer... But.. it is..

something always happens

Ecolocal: I posted this, not because I concur so much with the data, but because it swirls time a bit, mixes things up and at the very least, throws a wildcard into the situation. And, as "personal proof" as I commented above, I had some sort of out-of-the-blue strange experience that day.

Now, do I have any predications of what might happen in 2012 - yes and no. I can't say anything specific, that would be absurd, things are always changing. But something will happen, to be sure - in the same way something always happens. Yet, there is the opportunity for some great things to happen in 2012 or before or after.

What will that be? As I initially said, "Decide for yourself."

Popcorn!!!

Good idea. What would 2012 be without the popcorn. And a large Paradigm-Cola.
