druidess6308: We can't change anyone's mind, it has to come from within each of us, and this is supposed to be what's happening leading up to December 11, 2012...an evolution in consciousness of the entire human race, or at least the survivors. This is in many prophesies, not just the Mayan one, and I believe it's the message, though sadly twisted, of the Rapture as well. Those who can't make the shift in consciousness are believed to be dying off now in the rise of cancer, heart disease, etc...the rest of us who remain will make the leap in evolution. Time will tell if this is correct or not, and whether or not we can do it.
2012... I don't know if I believe that date or if I wish for more time. I do know that, yes, change can and does happen within someone's mind without outside influence ( or someone changing someone's mind ).
I don't know about the dieing off of people in the form of cancer and viruses... Prophecies tend to surprise even those who decipher them and the 'rapture' only has a couple of sentences in support of the theory...
All I know is that we ( you know who 'we' is ) are going to be just fine and whenever 'IT' happens, it will surely be the biggest trip of our lives
