I've heard 2012 mentioned from several sources, the Mayan Calander, the I Ching, the Bible Codes, Native American Prophecy, on and on. Is this just a galactic alignment or is our world about to be changed forever???

Over 2,000 years ago the early Maya formulated a profound galactic cosmology. They saw that the sun, on the winter solstice, was slowly moving toward the heart of the galaxy. Naturally enough, with their uncorrupted intelligence intact, they suspected that the world would go through a transformation when the solar and the galactic planes aligned. They devised their Long Count calendar to target when the cosmic alignment would maximize, and that time is AD 2012. We are lucky that the brilliant skywatchers who devised the 2012 calendar left carved monuments for us to decode, and that they have survived the decay of centuries, so that we can know exactly what they prophesied and believed about 2012.

Terence and Dennis McKenna had published a book in 1975, The Invisible Landscape, in which they showed that the Chinese oracle, the I Ching, had originally been used as a lunar calendar in which the 64 six-line hexagrams – 384 lines in all – had represented the 384 days in a thirteen-month lunar year. Following their 1971 journey down to the Amazon jungle, in which the brothers had a shared hallucinogenic experience, they developed their insights and devised a method by which to convert the Chinese Book of Changes – the I Ching – into a complex wave that mapped the timing of all the changes in the universe, or “the ingression of novelty into space-time”. The complex wave was composed of a hierarchy of waves – each one of a magnitude 64 times greater than the one below it – that mapped all change, from sub-atomic event durations up to the duration of the three-dimensional physical universe. The explosion of the atomic bombs at the end of the Second World War was taken to be a sufficiently novel event that it should correlate to a major peak on the Timewave, and when lined up with the Gregorian calendar it was found that late in 2012 AD all the waves and sub-waves would peak together, signifying “concrescence” – an evolutionary pinnacle and dimensional transition.

NATIVE AMERICAN PROPHECY
American Indians are a diverse ethnic group. Their languages, customs, social systems varied greatly. One common characteristic found in many Indian nations was an affinity to the spiritual side of life. Out of this came man prophecies.
One of the most fascinating set of prophecies comes out of the Hopi nation located in the Southwestern United States. Many prophecies foretold by the Hopi appear to have come true. Some of these are:
"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are left.
"This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana men who took the land that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder.
"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes -- the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies."
"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his eyes -- the coming of the white men's cattle."
"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron."
"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web."
"This is the Sixth sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun."
"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it."
"This is the Eight Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.
"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.
"These are the Signs that great destruction is coming. The world shall rock to and fro. The white man will battle against other people in other lands -- with those who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts not far from here. Only those which come will cause disease and a great dying.
Overall, the theme of Hopi prophecy is that the Earth is going to soon go through a great purification and that humanity can make the decision as to how extreme this purification will be. Their belief is that the world goes through a period of destruction and renewal and that we are about to enter into a new age, the 5th world (or 6th depending upon the source).
