Well, this are the real facts of what is going to happen.
It will be THE END of something, but NOT of humanity and NOT of The World!!!
If we take a look at the Mayan Calendar, we find that exactly in 2012 will be THE END of an ERA (the Era of PISCES) and THE BEGINNING of a New Era (the Era of AQUARIUS), because the Mayans made this calendar based on longer cycles and taken from the end of the Zodiac to its beginning (reverse engineering?).
However, in a more spiritual point of view, 2012 will represent THE END of a 3 year period [2009-2012 (in fact the end of 2008 until the end of 2012)] in which The Earth as a planet is evolving (an evolutionary change), changing (better raising) its Energetic Frequency to a new, higher level (like changing actual 3D into 4D), only this 3D will change not to 4D, but a few more levels like 5, 6, or even 7D. During this period we will encounter many problems, from political to economical crisis, from religious to social disorders, and it will be very difficult for the human beings to adapt to the New, Higher Frequency.
Many of us have seen many cases of suicides, murders, accidents, even mass destruction caused by the Forces of Nature. These are facts caused by this evolutionary change that our Planet Earth is passing through, and WE, as Humans that habit this planet, must evolve with our Mother Earth, by raising our Light frequency (Light as in God's Way), in order to pass this evolutionary phase we all are passing through.
I hope this post will bring you more insight into what 2012 means!
