End of Days...

There is no dearth of people who believe that the end of days is closer to us than we think. The reasons might vary from fulfillment of religious prophecies to astronomical events. Below are some of the most interesting possibilities if you make up your mind to join the brigade.

Do you know that our earth will have a major pole shift in 2012 as it crosses the galactic plane? We are not talking about a magnetic polar shift, but a geographical polar shift. In simple English, it means that the angle at which Earth rotates on its own axis will change resulting in the North and South poles being shifted geographically to new locations. The resulting jolt can trigger unimaginable natural catastrophes big enough to challenge life on Earth. People who have studied past catastrophes and pole shifts have found that these are cyclic events, they repeat from time to time. For example, the dinosaurs were wiped out of the planet when some meteors struck our earth while crossing the galactic plane, few million years ago. Some of the ancient civilizations also mysteriously disappeared from earth when this event repeated.

Another interesting thing is that the 2012 December date sited for this crossing coincides with the 'End of time' in the Mayan calender. The Mayans were very knowledgeable in Astronomy and were highly accurate in their predictions of various astronomical events. Their calender is actually more accurate than the one we use now. Unlike us, the Mayans considered time to be finite and not a continuum. According to their calender, time ends in 2012 December and if we have to evaluate this prediction in the light of their other accurate predictions, we are in for some real trouble. They didn't necessarily mean 'destruction' when they said 'end of times', its more like 'end of an age'. But we will have to wait and see what that really means!!!

If you think this isn't plausible enough, try this - have you heard about the Reptilian conspiracy...? if not, go and check out the vast (mostly 'waste) information available on the internet. There is apparently this secret conspiracy happening to take over the world.. by none other than the descendants of the ancient serpent god..! These half-human, half-snake 'Reptilians', possessing excellent powers of 'shape-shifting' are all around us and are just waiting for the right time to unleash their power and conquer mankind. The legend of a Serpent God is common across many ancient civilizations. The Incas who made the city of Machu Pichu in Peru had this mythology incorporated into their architecture and literature. On one of the pyramids there, the sun casts a shadow which resembles a serpent crawling from the skies towards earth. How about this for a good reason to believe that the world as we know it is going to be short lived...?

If even this is not enough, let us talk about the aliens. Why do you think the aliens are constantly visiting our planet in their cute little spaceships..? Not for summer vacations for sure..!! It is because they truly believe what Agent Smith said in The Matrix - "Humans are not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern - A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure." Yup, you heard it.. given this situation, it wont be too long before they decide to put an end to this disease. I know this is little too psychotic to imagine.. but the truth is not always sweet..!!

Aha.. so what if the whole alien and UFO stories are just gossip, right? I suggest you check out the UFO reporting center's website here: http://www.nuforc.org. There are over 200 sightings reported there every month and remember that it takes just one 'real' sighting to prove this all right. Now if you please read this in conjunction with the Crop Circles phenomenon monitored here http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2009/june2009.html, you will realize that there is something happening out there. The fact that you and me have more important things to bother in life, doesn't rule out these possibilities!! Remember I am not even talking about all those weirdos out there who can summon UFOs at will, or the ones who are in constant communication with the space brothers. I also don't want to get into the cattle mutilation or abduction phenomenons. Do check them out if you prefer your soup a little hot.

No discussion on the end of days will be complete without a mention of the religious fanatics who wait for the Rapture or the second coming. Its not just the crazy cults I am talking about, who commit suicide en masse expecting a reservation in the first flight to heaven. A recent survey showed that more than 50% of Americans think that Jesus' second coming will happen in their life time. They are eagerly waiting for that day when the 'chosen ones' will be carried off in clouds to the high heavens while the rest of us will remain here to rot. What a romantic idea to live with and to raise your children to...right?

Now you might ask - what about global warming? the danger of the melting ice caps of Alaska? the widening Ozone holes? nuclear wars? AIDS? Swine Flue? Who want to hear about them when there are much more 'interesting' reasons for kicking the bucket.?

So, repent and make amends, because the clock is ticking. Make sure you don't end up in prison trying to make the best out of the rest of your short life; the closing ceremony might be more interesting to watch from open ground!!
