All the objective facts, opinions, information etc have already been presented about 2012 all over the internet (as well as the 2012 thread) ... so I will contribute only with my highly subjective opinion.
There is definately something to 2012 , definately not another 2YK (I never even thought much about 2YK even though I was deeply into the esoteric fields).
For a start.. there is at least 1 ET faction that points us in this direction. You can't get more direct than the crop circle of the solar system situation in 2012 (with sun expanded). Are they telling us the truth? I don't know... but I know there were surely no crop circles or ET information about the Y2K
Ever since I grew up I knew I am part of the ET collective, I knew that a day would come when I would be at a certain age and there would be some event that would change my life forever.
Come december 23th 2012 , I will be 33 years old and 23 days old. Long story short, after many personal experiences the law of one (by RA) pretty much sums up what I've come to see as true. The law of thelema (do what you will)is also what I hold as the highest truth. When you read it you will see that the harvest concerns only a small fraction of humanity which is ready, the rest will continue with their 3D even if on another planet (it makes logic sense... David Wilcock is wrong... you can't ascend a being which has no desire to ascend). Ask most humanity they will tell you they are perfectly happy within this reality, within these parameters... they have still a lot to learn. What this means for each of us? If this information does not resonate than maybe your higher aspects never planned for you to ascend at this point... maybe you are only here to witness the event for future reference. Ascension is not 'better' than staying behind. The best possible outcome is when your being fully resonates from its level of development to the level of existence it is in. Don't worry if you will make it or not... if your loved ones will make it or not... the only thing that matters is for each of us to be in harmony with the level we resonate with.
My entire life has been a fast track to remember all the parameters of 3D existence so I can understand this world. I've always felt racing against the clock, absorbing and remembering as much as I can... just until last year I was wondering what's the hurry?! I am only 28 years old and yet I spend most of my days absorbing knowledge and experiences, learning skills... Now I see what's the hurry.. 2012 may be the destination but the time for training is almost over, soon there may be a society collapse and each skill, higher understanding and knowledge would be gravely needed.
Its amazing just how much my life has been pre-planed and has clicked with global events and happenings.
Friends kept telling me to enter the stock exchange but somehow I knew it was not going to last. Somehow I knew earth changes were coming even though everything was apparently 'fine'.
I don't really know what the next years are going to be like, I don't know what exactly will happen on 2012.. but I do know I didn't come here to live in the status quo. I am projecting only 1% currently to the greater good of earth from my total abilities and astral experiences... I didn't come on earth to learn much (already passed these vibrations long time ago), I barely have any karma with other souls (whatever bits I had, have been promptly resolved)... and I sure didn't come here to waste time in this 3d reality by living a normal human life... which leads me to the conclusion that there is definately a huge change in the reality matrix about to happen, so I can fulfill whatever destiny I came here to fulfill (that requires the full use of my abilities and knowledge).
One thing I know for sure, many people with whom I feel the deepest soul connection are on this path of 2012. Even if it were nothing to happen, even if it was completely wrong I know there is a deeper reason that I must walk this path. Knowing the path and walking the path are two different things. Sometimes we are sent in the wrong direction just so we can reach the right destination. It is now an evident fact we are witnessing the most important moments of human history.... this surely can't be a coincidence when we are so close to 2012.
Mayan: They've always fascinated me since I've been a little kid. When I activated my kundalini half a year ago I was offered a place in an olmec temple (I had no idea at the time who the Olmec were and was astonished to see the exact statue later in the information about 2012... supposedly the Olmec passed the calendar and it was in turn passed to them from higher sources)
Its mind bogling when I think of all the incredible experiences I've been so far, all the incredible people I've met on my path, everything pointing to this direction. When I jump and read the facts supporting all this... it becomes clear that I must pursue this path... to ignore it would be to ignore my deepest parts.
Its not easy to think about changing the whole planet in 4D in a matter of 5 years when everything around us is still the same old earth (with 'minor' climate changes). Its not easy living in the real knowledge of this stuff and not brushing it off as nonsense when surrounded by hundreds of humans who haven't got a clue even to the astral realm, much less to the greater workings.
The truth is that you don't have to. Just follow the inner voice and live each day for what it is. Right now I firmly believe it is still the best strategy to play the game, speak up when asked but stay alert. The smart thing to do is to scan the internet weekly (or few times a week) for any new signs. Remember ... 2012 is the destination ... the next 4 years will be packed with events and changes (you have to count in the time acceleration effect). One way or the other, come 2013 we will be in a completely different world than we are now... even if it was only because of climate change and economic restructure.
There will come a time when you will have to make the hard decisions based on whether you believe 2012 to be real or not... we are not quite there yet (even though if I were in the USA i'd seriously consider relocating)... but the question we should be thinking is... will we act on this information when the time comes or will we follow the herd? I for one know I follow my heart no matter what... I've been explicitly warned to relocate but I feel I must stay at the current location for some more time. Timing is everything, be ready to snap out of the everyday life on a moments notice... We can't plan, we can't anticipate in these volatile times... invest in reactivity and flexibility.
