Mayans insist 2012 isn't the end of the world
| Apolinario Chile Pixtun is tired of being bombarded with frantic questions about the Mayan calendar supposedly "running out" on Dec. 21, 2012. After all, it's not the end of the world.
Or is it?
Definitely not, the Mayan Indian elder insists. "I came back from England last year and, man, they had me fed up with this stuff."
It can only get worse for him. Next month Hollywood's "2012" opens in cinemas, featuring earthquakes, meteor showers and a tsunami dumping an aircraft carrier on the White House.
At Cornell University, Ann Martin, who runs the "Curious? Ask an Astronomer" Web site, says people are scared.
"It's too bad that we're getting e-mails from fourth-graders who are saying that they're too young to die," Martin said. "We had a mother of two young children who was afraid she wouldn't live to see them grow up."
Chile Pixtun, a Guatemalan, says the doomsday theories spring from Western, not Mayan ideas...
Bernal suggests that apocalypse is "a very Western, Christian" concept projected onto the Maya, perhaps because Western myths are "exhausted."
Thanks Ben!

when the end of the world happens it will be most likely on the beginning of a ceuntirie of centiuries.
all of these movies about the end of the world were made from some body's imagination and bielief with out any extreme sience done.
I just got off the fear of 2012. my mom went through and showed me prieviews of movies about the end of the world and explained that holly wood is getting so much real looking. and then she showed me writings about how 2012 is not tru with the end of the world. And all i can say is god bless these web sites.
somtimes when im at the skate park i feel out and i cant fase fears' with stuff i want to learn.
one time i oudnt stop thinking about 2012 and i called my mom to com pick me up. but since we started watching trailers and readin review's it has changed and i lost my fear.
I think it's going to be the end of this perpetual bifurcation that defines our journey through linear time, and the manifestation of a permanent duality that we all have inside of us, on a level superior to the individual consciousness to which it is now confined.
Schizophrenics don't get cancer very easily unless they are medicated, when they return to the normal cancer rate of the local population. I think it's caused by smoking pregnant mothers, who are so (rightly) stigmatized that they won't admit they smoked after their kid is diagnosed as "insane."
They love to smoke cigarettes. It makes them feel like the rest of us. It doesn't cause cancer in them, though, until they take medecine that does that anyway.
Adult's don't contribute to evolution. That is why we are not allowed to reproduce until we stop developing. The people in control of the status quo don't want changes to manifest on this level. However children, and especially foetuses, are highly sensitive to the process of evolution. In the fetus the blastula evolves into its own environment (the mother) and after birth, we keep doing that. However when exposed to high levels of carcinogens, I believe the foetus becomes Schizophrenic after birth because nature is trying to cure cancer. So they don't tend to get cancer until they get rid of Schizophrenia. Cancer resistance is not just in their genes, it is one of their symptoms.
Plus, look at the duality we seek in our own lives. It lives within individuals, and we resolve it by pairing and mating and living as one - your "better half," you might say. However Schizophrenics are people who are just evolving at a faster rate because of their severe exposure to cancer while developing. Mother Nature is giving them the duality they will grow up to love; ignore the voices, they hate you. Like your wife would. Focus on them, they tell you you're wonderful and to trust them on this - like your wife, husband, or partner. They are evolving to accept this state of duality and in 2012 I think it will become the way of the world. It will be the first real change of its nature in our world since the last phase of their calendar. Which only maps the stars, suggesting a cosmic link to our minds that I don't even want to consider right now.
