timewave zero, anyone familiar with the term? I find it very interesting especially that we are heading for zero towards 2012. Always triggers the mind what could possibly happen in 2012?
Gotta ge openminded though so expect anything or nothing, I kind of like that philosophy. Gets you back and not in front.
I might flood a little today, perhaps one more later or two lol

I've heard the song??
as for 2012, its an internet hoax, all of it, nibiru//galactic alignment/sumerian prophecies etc. The same guy who theorised nibiru based on sumerian writings actually read the writings wrong, none of it has legitimate scientific fact behind it. Galactic alignment happened aaaages ago. The next '2012' i guarantee will be 2029 and then 2036 and it will be all about Apophis (asteroid on a similair orbit to earth) which passes us "closely" (obviously within an AU but nowhere near close enough). I am a very open minded person. But i'm convinced that nothing will happen 2012, obviously nobody can know for sure. Sorry for the rant but i feel very strongly about the 2012 BS haha  Lots of youtubers buy into it, but i guess not everybody reads astrophysics books on an eveninng 
picture, ermm.... another time. sorry |

Actually the 2012 'event' is based on the Mayan calendar. As it was explained to me by a mayan paleontologist once, the date December 21st 2012 is simply the completion of the 13th B'ak'tun Cycle in Long-Count and beginning of the 14th. each B'ak'tun is like 395 years, which means it will have been 5,135 years since the mayans believed they came into existence after being made from corn. Before the time the corn-people(us) were created, I think (memory fails me atm) two or three other peoples were made, from stone, and from mud. At the end of 13 b'ak'tuns, the gods made their judgement on those people to see if they were worshipping the gods enough/correctly, and since the rock people couldn't talk they weren't good enough, so the mayans turned the world on them and started again, this time making a new people from mud - which turned out to be too stupid to properly praise the gods, and they too had their world turned against them. So the idea with 2012 is that its the end of a B'ak'tun cycle and the time of judgement from the gods is nigh, and since most people don't worship the mayan gods, some believe that the 'world will turn against us.'
As it is relatively vague there have been many interpretations as to what that could mean.

timewave zero as I understand so far is a signal affecting the human evolvment and what kind of phase we are in. Nazi Germany was roughly at the same frequency as the Egyptian time. It means history keeps repeating itself because of this tone or frequency.
Not full educated about it though, just found the information myself.
Search Terrence Mckenna and timewave zero, there are also some youtube about him, he died in 2000.
ok pic with ramble.

Zombat: Yeah, that's what I've read. I don't have a degree in any of it, but I enjoy learning about philosophies and what not. I read that the only reason it's so "big", is because people assumed it's the end of the world, when it is supposed to be the last year the Mayan's recorded or something. I can't wait for the movie, especially since Chrike on DeviantART is working on the movie.
Here's a 30 minute sketch on one layer. I'm trying to learn how to paint loosely at the beginning with big brushes, then work on recovering everything.

Yeah i'm familiar with the back-story of 2012's importance to the Mayans. To be honest a NWO isn't that unlikely, if anything happens then that would probably be it. What i disagree with is how people have linked this date with cataclysmic events such as a collision with another planet. 21/12/12 is a ridiculously accurate prediction of this event, how can you be that impossibly accurate when relatively speaking, human existence in terms of our presence in the universe is doesn't come close to the blink of an eye.
People try and make it look like the mayans were predicting the end of the world. Which they weren't. People have put so many words into Mayan mouths
You're totally right in everything you've said, the whole "world turning against us" is a perfectly believable prophecy, however the galactic stuff is just horrendous. |
