Apocalypse 2012: An Investigation into Civilization’s End
by Lawrence E. Joseph
Don’t look up
It won’t help. You can’t get out of the way, you can’t dig a hole deep enough to hide. The end is coming, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
So why read this book?
Because you can’t look away when not just the religious fanatics are saying we’re all going to be destroyed but the scientists are in on the act too. Here’s what they’re saying:
We’re a million years over due for a mass extinction.
The sun at radiation minimum is acting much worse than at solar maximum, and one misdirected spewing of plasma could fry us in an instant.
The magnetic field—which shields us from harmful radiation—is developing a mysterious crack.
Our solar system is entering an energetically hostile part of the galaxy.
The Yellowstone supervolcano is getting ready to blow, and if it does, we can look forward to nuclear winter and 90 percent annihilation.
The Maya, the world’s greatest timekeepers ever, say it’s all going to stop on December 21, 2012.
The Mystery of 2012: Predictions, Prophecies and Possibilities
by Gregg Braden, Peter Russel, Joanna R. Macy, Daniel Pinchbeck, John Major Jenkins
What Will Happen in 2012?
Are we truly coming to the end of a cosmic cycle? Will there be an age of awakening, a new step in human evolution, or even an end to the world we know? For years, archaeologists have known the Mayan calendar predicts this date as the end of an era on Earth. Yet today, more and more researchers, spiritual explorers, and even scientists are witnessing signs that 2012 will mark a critical shift in the history of our planet. Now, for the first time, the leading authorities on the 2012 phenomenon present their insights about this enigmatic date in a single book: The Mystery of 2012.
Featuring articulate and lucid essays from dozens of renowned experts on the question of 2012, this invaluable anthology offers all the information necessary to examine the mystery from every angle—spiritual, economic, ecological, and scientific—and to decide for yourself whether 2012 will end with a whimper or a bang. In The Mystery of 2012, you will discover the startling predictions and revelations of prominent thinkers, including:
- John Major Jenkins’ journey to the source for answers—the original Mayan calendar and the perennial wisdom it embodies
- Gregg Braden’s examination of the scientific evidence for a shift in the Earth’s magnetic field, and how it will affect all life
- Barbara Marx Hubbard’s and Peter Russell’s explorations of the accelerating pace of evolution—why we may literally be transforming into a new species
- Ecologist Joanna R. Macy’s vision of “The Great Turning,” and how we can take part in this shift to a life-sustaining culture
- Daniel Pinchbeck’s investigation of the shift of consciousness that will be necessary for humanity to survive 2012
- Jean Houston’s predictions on the coming “Jump Time,” and her practical advice for dealing with the impact it will have on your life
- Corinne MacLaughlin’s discussion of using spirituality and consciousness to influence business and political trends, how these arenas are already shifting and what we can expect in the next decade
- James O’Dea’s inquiry into the rich time of healing ahead as humanity responds to an overtaxed Nature’s “wake-up call”- the time for which we each were born
What, if anything, is in store for us in 2012? Whether you are a skeptic, a true believer, or simply “2012-curious,” The Mystery of 2012 offers you a thought-provoking and comprehensive exploration into the possibilities of this approaching landmark in human history.
In his previous books, The Orion Prophecy and The World Cataclysm in 2012, Patrick Geryl presented proof that the ancient Maya predicted in great detail the scenario set to take place in the year 2012, a scenario of complete and utter destruction which has occurred in Earth’s past and will occur again. Due to a recurring pattern of activity in the sun’s magnetic fields, the magnetic poles of the sun reverse from time to time. This, in turn, causes the release of massive solar flares that lash out into the solar system. These cause havoc with the Earth’s magnetic field, resulting in the reversal of the Earth’s magnetic poles, hence a reversal of its very rotation!
The Earth’s outer crust is thrown into chaos, with planet-wide earthquakes, volcanoes and tidal waves reshaping landmasses and seas in a matter of hours. Civilization as we know it will end. Billions of casualties will occur worldwide; very few humans will survive. In the face of this immense cataclysm, Geryl urges mankind to prepare and endure. The outlook is bleak, but the obstacles are not insurmountable. In this book, Geryl provides the blueprint for those wishing to survive the disaster to prepare themselves and prevail. He explains in detail the myriad problems survivors will encounter, and the precautions that need to be taken to overcome them. It is his hope that with this information in hand, enough people Will live on to reestablish civilization and continue human life on Earth.

2013: Envisioning the World After the Events of 2012
by Marie D. Jones, Marie D. Jones
Synopsis
The 5,125-yearlong Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012, which many claim portends a massive global transformation. Some dread its arrival, believing it will be the beginning of the end. Others await it with delicious anticipation, expecting it to be the catalyst for a quantum leap of consciousness, the dawning of a true New Age. Others wonder if anything at all will occur-remember Y2K?
2013: The End of Days or a New Beginning? examines all of the popular myths, prophecies, and predictions circulating about 2012, including the Mayan teachings of time acceleration and global awakening on a consciousness level. Furthermore it takes an in-depth look at lesser-known predictions and prophecies, and at the more scientific and reality-based challenges we will face.
Some of the questions this book explores include:
• Will cosmic and earthly chaos disrupt our lives with destructive sunspot cycles, volcanic super-eruptions, monster storms, mass extinctions, and asteroid threats?
• Will huge leaps in technology create bionic humans, computers that think, and an end to all disease-possibly even death itself?
• Will economic and geopolitical powers shift out of the West and into the “the New Eurasia,” with new wars being fought over dwindling resources as global warming takes its toll?
• Will this be the evolution revolution of human consciousness-or the final countdown that leads to Armageddon itself?
• Will it be the apocalypse so many have feared-or the rebirth of the world and the transformation of humanity?
There is much, much more to the 2012 enigma than just an ancient calendar, and 2013: The End of Days or a NewBeginning? will prove it.
