Video: The Mayan Calendar and 2012 Predictions

The Mayan calendar ending in 2012 has created a lot of speculation. The Mayan Portal is the best resource you’ll find on the subject.
Personally I see it as an energy shift, not a Y2K idea that suddenly on December 21, 2012 some magic switch will flip. This video can give you a great overview and some depth as to what’s expected to happen.

Barbara Hand Clow’s The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind is a great primer on the Mayan 2012 prophecies. Here’s the description of the book from Amazon:

Bestselling author Barbara Hand Clow shows how the Mayan Calendar is a bridge to galactic wisdom that fosters personal growth and human evolution

• Unearths the meaning behind the calendar, its message for modern civilization, and what will happen when the calendar ends

• Reveals how time acceleration is a manifestation of the acceleration of consciousness

• By the author of The Pleiadian Agenda

Many researchers have investigated the science of time cycles by using the Mayan Calendar, which tracks the 5,125-year Long Count ending in the year 2012. History shows that civilizations suddenly appeared around 3115 B.C. in Egypt, India, and Sumer that used calendars based on systems similar to the Mayan Calendar, reflecting what was once a universal and sacred understanding of time. In The Mayan Code, Barbara Hand Clow draws on the work of biologist Carl Johan Calleman and many other New Paradigm researchers to unearth the deeper meaning behind the calendar and its message for modern civilization, especially during its final five years.

As we approach the end of the Mayan Calendar, time and consciousness are accelerating. Working with Calleman’s time-acceleration theory, Barbara Hand Clow shows how the cycles of time marked by the calendar match important periods in the evolutionary data banks of Earth and the Milky Way Galaxy and that the calendar describes the evolutionary stage to come. She explores how our own personal healing is the most important factor as we prepare to make this critical leap in human evolution–now referred to as the awakening of the World Mind.
