"For all group members, both new and old, who are wondering, "What's this group all about what's so special about 2012?" This is my attempt to summarize what I have uncovered so far. In a nutshell, we appear to be in a time in the earth's history where not only are both human and geological events speeding up, but the rate at which they are speeding up is speeding up. At the current rate, the next 10 years will bring about changes so rapidly that we will experience a GLOBAL PARADIGM SHIFT. There is a virtual mountain of evidence out there and I mean it's HUGE! both physical and metaphysical, some credible and some incredible, that suggests we are approaching an unprecedented breakthrough on a planetary scale. Some views are cataclysmic, others are a bit more rosy. The truth may lie somewhere in between...
First, the metaphysical evidence:
As part of his Novelty Theory, the late Terence McKenna devised a graph which attempted to quantify history by plotting `novelty' and `habit' against time as far back as 7 billion years. This graph, which he referred to as "the eschaton mathematically formalized," is generally known as Time Wave Zero or Fractal Time. The graph shows history repeating itself in ever-decreasing intervals until the last several billion years are compressed into a mere
fraction of a second as we fall over the lip of the event horizon.
Although his criteria were rather subjective, the graph nevertheless shows an interesting correlation between sudden increases in novelty and mass extinctions. The graph has been extensively analyzed, with mixed reactions. He has his supporters and detractors, but regardless of whether the Time Wave is empirically sound or not, his Novelty Theory is both compelling and elegant. The most interesting thing about the TWZ graph, however, is that it predicts that novelty will become immeasurably great on December 21, 2012. Apparently this end-date was discovered before Terence became aware that the Mayan Long Count of 5,125 years ended on the same date - winter solstice of 2012.

Now, about Mayan Time. The best source for this is John Major Jenkins, author of Mayan Cosmogenesis. The Mayan method of reckoning time is amazingly intricate and accurate, and even accounts for the precession of the equinoxes. There are many highly educated and scholarly people who study the Mayan calendar there is even an Institute of Maya Studies in Miami, Florida. Those who dismiss scholars of the Maya calendar as flakes are either grievously misinformed or lacking in knowledge.
Jenkins believes that human civilization is passing through an era of great transformation. "When the solstice meridian passes through the Galactic Galactic Equator, a rare era in the earth's journey is engaged. How does this affect human society? Maybe it sets the stage for earthquakes and volcanoes and pole shifts and so forth - the recurring Atlantean cataclysm mythos may be based in this 26,000 cycle... My own ideal scenario is that we hear the message that the alignment expresses...
"The winter solstice meridian will coincide with the Galactic Equator -the Milky Way. In other words, the winter solstice sun will be right on the Milky Way circa 2000 A.D., and the alignment has been slowly converging for thousands of years... There are two more celestial features right near where the sun will be on the end-date in 2012 A.D.: 1). The `dark rift' which the Maya call `the road to the underworld.' This is a dark area running along part of the Milky Way caused by interstellar dust clouds; and 2) The Galactic Center.
"In many mythological contexts, the `dark-rift' is understood to be the birth canal of the Great Mother, the Milky Way. It is the birth place of the next World Age. The celestial cross defined by the Milky Way crossing over the ecliptic is also important, and this was recently identified by Mayan scholar Linda Schele as the Mayan Sacred Tree.
"The heart of the four-directional symbolism is the fifth direction, the center. This is the navel and source of creation. And again, the `dark-rift' runs through all these features."
