Divine Cosmos - 2012 Enigma by David Wilcock

Dear Friend,

Are you tired?

Tired of all the misinformation out there about 2012?

If you've done even one Google search on the topic you know what I'm talking about...SURVIVE 2012

WILL YOU SURIVE 2012?


Where well-meaning “experts” went wrong... and why all the governments of the world ultimately decided not to tell you the truth.

What is really going to happen in December of 2012... and exactly how millions will be devastated, and your world will be turned upside down... forever.

How you can safeguard your life... and the lives of your family members. Because you really can survive... and spiritually thrive in the wake of this life-changing event.

It will begin suddenly, without warning. Many scandals that will disclose true backgound about how the System works will shake human masses. Disclosures about how international energetic megacompanies earn billions selling oil, preventing at the same time inventions of free energy to come to public. Disclosures about pharmaceutical trusts that earn money with "healing" diseases that are spread with viruses created in hidden laboratories. Disclosures about efficient cures for AIDS, cancer and other diseases that are known for quite some time, unkonwn to human masses. And about world media and censorship there, which is a logical consequence of a fact that few individuals own most worldly known newspaper, media and telecommunication companies. And finally disclosures about a secret world government that has most prominent politicians as its puppets and which creates profit out of wars and human suffering for millenia, a small group of beings that you work for in your jobs and voluntarily give them a significant amount of your monthly salary.

When lists with names, supported with facts will be known, human masses will arise. When facts will be known about what is happening in the stock market and where the money really goes, this will create a world stock market crash and fall of the current monetary system. Riots will begin as a consequence of released emotional energy which was suppressed for so long. In the chaos of those days members of the Resistance movement will reveal themselves to humanity and give guidance and support. They will penetrate to the surface from their undergound realms and bring along technology that will help humanity to get over those critical moments. They will cure most of currently known diseases with their medicaments. With their free energy sources they will end world energy crisis and stop environmental pollution. They will bring information that will open the eyes of people. Finally people will realize that they have lived in quarantine for millenia.

Money will disappear and will be replaced with exchange of goods based upon vibrational economy. The Resistance movement will assist in establishing new world government which will be chosen by humanity with its free will and that will lead humanity based on the principles of the Galactic codex. At that point the energy field of the planet will be cleared significantly. Memories of Atlantis will be returning to people and they will begin to create a New Atlantis, a new civillization of light. Buildings will be constructed in a combination of Atlantean and modern architecture which will be in harmony with nature. Many will be in a pyramidal or half spherical shape. Spiritually developed individuals will begin to gather in New age communities, so called islands of light. Everybody there will follow his vision aligned with the divine plan in deep connection with the universe.

When people will release the past, everybody will experience clarity of mind, emotional aliveness and physical health. The basic cell of society in islands of light will not be a family of personalities (father, mother and children) but a family of souls (twin souls, soulmates and other members of a soul family). People will connect there energetically and telepathically with angels, guides and extraterestrials. Through islands of light a physical connection between the surface of the planet and extraterrestrial civillizations will be established.

There will be teleportation chambers in islands of light through which it will be possible to travel into the Resistance movement, for some people into the Atlantean network and also towards the Pleiadian motherships. When the network of light will be strong and stable enough this will enable mass landings of Pleiadian starships. The Pleiadians will assist humanity during its transition towards the New age and with the process of acceptance of this planet into the Galactic confederation. They will anchor energy columns that will guide planet Earth throuh its transformation during its entry into the inner section of the tachyon belt.

When the critical mass of consciousness will be achieved the first wave of Ascension will occur. Motherships of the Galactic confederation will hover as brilliant white clouds above the islands of light, where teleportation beams will descend and lift the volunteers into the motherships. Those volunteers will reappear on Earth shortly in Ascended state in their rainbow bodies of light. Soon afterwards another critical mass will be achieved and the second wave of Ascension will happen. Masses of Ascended masters that will return to Earth will prepare humanity for the third wave of Ascension and for the Evacuation. Great planetary cataclisms will begin then as a cleansing of the physical matter of the planet. At the moment of most intensive cataclisms a polar shift will happen and that will trigger the third wave of Ascension with final Evacuation. Linear time as we know it will end and Earth will enter a new, higher dimension. This is a moment when the Mayan calendar ends, a moment in 2012.

2012: Beginning of the End or Why the World Won't End?

Scenes from the motion picture "2012." Courtesy Columbia Pictures. Remember the Y2K scare? It came and went without much of a whimper because of adequate planning and analysis of the situation. Impressive movie special effects aside, Dec. 21, 2012, won't be the end of the world as we know. It will, however, be another winter solstice.

Much like Y2K, 2012 has been analyzed and the science of the end of the Earth thoroughly studied. Contrary to some of the common beliefs out there, the science behind the end of the world quickly unravels when pinned down to the 2012 timeline. Below, NASA Scientists answer several questions that we're frequently asked regarding 2012.

Question (Q): Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012.
Answer (A): Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.

Q: What is the origin of the prediction that the world will end in 2012?
A: The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012. Then these two fables were linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 -- hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.

Q: Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012?
A: Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.

Q: Could a phenomena occur where planets align in a way that impacts Earth?
A: There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, Earth will not cross the galactic plane in 2012, and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible. Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence.

"There apparently is a great deal of interest in celestial bodies, and their locations and trajectories at the end of the calendar year 2012. Now, I for one love a good book or movie as much as the next guy. But the stuff flying around through cyberspace, TV and the movies is not based on science. There is even a fake NASA news release out there..."
- Don Yeomans, NASA senior research scientist Q: Is there a planet or brown dwarf called Nibiru or Planet X or Eris that is approaching the Earth and threatening our planet with widespread destruction?
A: Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles.

Q: What is the polar shift theory? Is it true that the earth’s crust does a 180-degree rotation around the core in a matter of days if not hours?
A: A reversal in the rotation of Earth is impossible. There are slow movements of the continents (for example Antarctica was near the equator hundreds of millions of years ago), but that is irrelevant to claims of reversal of the rotational poles. However, many of the disaster websites pull a bait-and-shift to fool people. They claim a relationship between the rotation and the magnetic polarity of Earth, which does change irregularly, with a magnetic reversal taking place every 400,000 years on average. As far as we know, such a magnetic reversal doesn’t cause any harm to life on Earth. A magnetic reversal is very unlikely to happen in the next few millennia, anyway.

Earth, as seen in the Blue Marble: Next Generation collection of images, showing the color of the planet's surface in high resolution. This image shows South America from September 2004. Q: Is the Earth in danger of being hit by a meteor in 2012?
A: The Earth has always been subject to impacts by comets and asteroids, although big hits are very rare. The last big impact was 65 million years ago, and that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today NASA astronomers are carrying out a survey called the Spaceguard Survey to find any large near-Earth asteroids long before they hit. We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs. All this work is done openly with the discoveries posted every day on the NASA NEO Program Office website, so you can see for yourself that nothing is predicted to hit in 2012.

Q: How do NASA scientists feel about claims of pending doomsday?
A: For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, where is the science? Where is the evidence? There is none, and for all the fictional assertions, whether they are made in books, movies, documentaries or over the Internet, we cannot change that simple fact. There is no credible evidence for any of the assertions made in support of unusual events taking place in December 2012.

Q: Is there a danger from giant solar storms predicted for 2012?
A: Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years. Near these activity peaks, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications, although engineers are learning how to build electronics that are protected against most solar storms. But there is no special risk associated with 2012. The next solar maximum will occur in the 2012-2014 time frame and is predicted to be an average solar cycle, no different than previous cycles throughout history.

What Does This All Really Mean?

A personal message from Marshall Masters, co-author and publisher of Planet X Forecast and 2012 Survival Guide.

What You Seek You
Shall Find in 2012?


Where Are You Going
To Be After 2012?


For those who already know Planet X and 2012 — we know you. If you're alone in your awareness, we invite you to meet like-minded thinkers in our Planet X and 2012 Survivor's Town Hall.

Are you new to the topic and feeling a bit overwhelmed? You're not alone. We all seem to find it in much the same way.

It usually begins with an innocuous urge to explore something new, and then hello; the blinders come off. Once that happens, you're faced with a choice.

You can trust your destiny to blind fate by squandering precious time on the defeatist pronouncements of fearmongers. Or, you can choose to shape your own destiny. For those who do, planetxforecast.com offers a broad range of practical information tools, many of which are free.

Regardless of how long you've been researching this topic, we recommend you start with our 5-part video series, Surviving 2012 and Planet X. It will give you a straightforward answer to the really big question that seems to be on everyone's mind: "What does this all really mean?"

What You Seek You
Shall Find in 2012?


Yes, Planet X will cause 2012 to be a punishing time — but it will not be a punishment. Nor will it be the end of a timeline. Rather, it will be one of the most, if not the most important evolutionary events in the history of our species.

Does knowing more about it, or having the resources to build a bigger bunker give you an edge? Maybe, but more likely not. This is because those who chose to survive this impending evolutionary event did so long before they were ever born. This is why living through 2012 will be less about what is in your bunker and more about what is in your heart.

Search your feelings. Did you make this covenant with the Creator? If so, the first and most important step to surviving 2012 is to accept it with love, knowledge and a commitment to helping others.

Where Are You Going
To Be After 2012?


There is a purpose to everything in creation. The coming pain and destruction to be wrought by Planet X in 2012 shall be a clarion call for peace and harmony — one that cannot be denied, manipulated, purchased or defeated. This is because the Earth changes of 2012 will be to the greedy and manipulative few as a rake is to autumn leaves.

No matter how dark the times become, always remember — the path of love reaches beyond 2012, and the path of fear ends there.

Those who survive with love will answer the call as equals, and they shall survive to become part of the most important human population to ever walk the Earth. They will leave behind the fear-driven financial systems that serve to reward the greedy and powerful by causing needless suffering for the many.

Afterwards, we will not rebuild. Rather, we will build anew as an emerging galaxy-class species. Centuries from now, our home worlds will spread across the heavens and our descendants will come to number in the trillions. Believe it. Survive for it!

Does Planet X Exist? Is Nibiru Inhabited and Inbound?

The Planet X Video was produced by Robert Sepehr in an effort to inform and make public what has been witheld or forgotten by the masses for millennia. Click Here for an introduction.

Planet X Theory, Nibiru and the Anunnaki

The idea that Earth has been visited by aliens at some point in the distant past is not a new one. In Sumer, the alien Gods were known as the Anunnaki. In Greece, the Annodoti. In the Celtic lore, the Tuatha de Danaan. In the Semetic scriptures (Torah, Talmud, Old Testament, and other Apocryphal texts like the Book of Enoch), they are called The Nephilim, The Sons of God, or The Watchers.

The gods themselves had their own monarchy, with laws of succession similar to our own, and they built a global empire upon the Earth, with great cities, temples and monuments, and mighty nations established on several continents. They created mankind as a slave race to work on their farms and in their gold mines, among other things. The Sumerian legends are very clear: man was made to bear the yoke of the gods. Man was separate from the gods, like a domesticated animal, and there was a great cultural taboo amongst the gods against sharing any of their sacred information with humanity, even things such as writing and mathematics. These gods ruled directly over Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley, and their rule is recorded in the histories of all three civilizations.

At some point, it is told, some of the gods broke rank. This is again recorded in just about every culture on Earth that has a written or oral history of legends. Some of the gods, finding human females most appealing, intermarried with them (breaking, of course, a major taboo within their own culture), and creating a race of human/god hybrids.

However, these actions (the interbreeding and sharing of secrets with humans) incurred the wrath of the Most High God, and a number of other gods who were disgusted by this interracial breeding. This sparked the massive and devastating battle of the gods that has come down to us in the legends of both the War in Heaven, and the Deluge. Then, in order to cleanse the Earth,s surface of the curse of humanity, they covered it with a flood. Interestingly, this flood is mentioned in the legends of almost every ancient culture on Earth.

These Anunnaki are said to occupy another planet in our solar system (known to scientists as 'Planet X'). This planet is called Nibiru, and is situated somewhere beyond Pluto. This planet, unlike other planets in our solar system, moves clockwise, rather than counter clockwise. It was a collision of Nibiru with another planet in our solar system which created Earth.

Nibiru's orbit passes thorough our solar system only once every 3,600 years, which is equal to one Nibiru year.

Many catastrophic events in the earth's past can be explained by the 3600 year cycle of Nibiru. Depending on its distance from the earth at the time of passage, many Biblical disasters such as the Great Flood and the sinking of Atlantis can now be better understood. These events cyclically occure as a result of the immense gravitational pull this planet imposes on the earth and the other planets within the solar system.

Scientists debunk 2012 as doomsday date

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

A significant time period for the Mayas does end on the date, and enthusiasts have found a series of astronomical alignments they say coincide in 2012, including one that happens roughly only once every 25,800 years.

But most archaeologists, astronomers and Maya say the only thing likely to hit Earth is a meteor shower of New Age philosophy, pop astronomy, Internet doomsday rumors and TV specials such as one on the History Channel that mixes predictions from Nostradamus and the Mayas and asks: "Is 2012 the year the cosmic clock finally winds down to zero days, zero hope?"

It may sound all too much like other doomsday scenarios of recent decades - the 1987 Harmonic Convergence, the Jupiter Effect or Planet X. But this one has some grains of archaeological basis.

One of them is Monument Six.

Found at an obscure ruin in southern Mexico during highway construction in the 1960s, the stone tablet almost didn't survive; the site was largely paved over and parts of the tablet were looted.

It's unique in that the remaining parts contain the equivalent of the date 2012. The inscription describes something that is supposed to occur in 2012 involving Bolon Yokte, a mysterious Mayan god associated with both war and creation.

However - shades of Indiana Jones - erosion and a crack in the stone make the end of the passage almost illegible.

Archaeologist Guillermo Bernal of Mexico's National Autonomous University interprets the last eroded glyphs as maybe saying, "He will descend from the sky."

Spooky, perhaps, but Bernal notes there are other inscriptions at Mayan sites for dates far beyond 2012 - including one that roughly translates into the year 4772.

And anyway, Mayas in the drought-stricken Yucatan peninsula have bigger worries than 2012.

"If I went to some Mayan-speaking communities and asked people what is going to happen in 2012, they wouldn't have any idea," said Jose Huchim, a Yucatan Mayan archaeologist. "That the world is going to end? They wouldn't believe you. We have real concerns these days, like rain."

The Mayan civilization, which reached its height from 300 A.D. to 900 A.D., had a talent for astronomy

Its Long Count calendar begins in 3114 B.C., marking time in roughly 394-year periods known as Baktuns. Thirteen was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas, and the 13th Baktun ends around Dec. 21, 2012.

"It's a special anniversary of creation," said David Stuart, a specialist in Mayan epigraphy at the University of Texas at Austin. "The Maya never said the world is going to end, they never said anything bad would happen necessarily, they're just recording this future anniversary on Monument Six."

Bernal suggests that apocalypse is "a very Western, Christian" concept projected onto the Maya, perhaps because Western myths are "exhausted."

If it were all mythology, perhaps it could be written off.

But some say the Maya knew another secret: the Earth's axis wobbles, slightly changing the alignment of the stars every year. Once every 25,800 years, the sun lines up with the center of our Milky Way galaxy on a winter solstice, the sun's lowest point in the horizon.

That will happen on Dec. 21, 2012, when the sun appears to rise in the same spot where the bright center of galaxy sets.

Another spooky coincidence?

"The question I would ask these guys is, so what?" says Phil Plait, an astronomer who runs the "Bad Astronomy" blog. He says the alignment doesn't fall precisely in 2012, and distant stars exert no force that could harm Earth.

"They're really super-duper trying to find anything astronomical they can to fit that date of 2012," Plait said.

But author John Major Jenkins says his two-decade study of Mayan ruins indicates the Maya were aware of the alignment and attached great importance to it.

"If we want to honor and respect how the Maya think about this, then we would say that the Maya viewed 2012, as all cycle endings, as a time of transformation and renewal," said Jenkins.

As the Internet gained popularity in the 1990s, so did word of the "fateful" date, and some began worrying about 2012 disasters the Mayas never dreamed of.

The idea apparently originates with a 19th century Frenchman, Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg, a priest-turned-archaeologist who got it from his study of ancient Mayan and Aztec texts.

Have A Nice Doomsday!

By Richard Handler CBC News

On my desk, I've cleared a little section that I call Atlantis. That's where I put all the doomsday books publishers send me.

Atlantis has grown heavier over these last months and one day I can see it breaking through my desk and sinking to the bottom of the sea like its namesake.

Some of these books have a worthy Canadian connection. My favorite title is Have a Nice Doomsday: Why Millions of Americans are Looking Forward to the End of the World.

It was written by a Nicholas Guyatt while he was a professor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, though it was obviously aimed at the American market (10 times the population).

Guyatt tells us that 50 million Americans have come to believe that the apocalypse will take place in their lifetimes. "They're convinced that, any day now, Jesus will snatch his followers and spirit them to heaven."

It's a jaunty book, full of information and conversational contractions as befits an academic aiming for a popular audience.

An actor dressed as an ancient Mayan in Tegucigalpa. Could they predict the future? (Oswaldo Rivas/Reuters) But I must say that making fun of fundamentalist apocalypse mongers is like shooting fish in a barrel.

If only they weren't so darn scary!

Mark this date
Mind you, many apocalypse believers are rather sanguine types (unlike liberal worrywarts like me).

That's because they believe they're only "just visiting" on this Earth — even as they insist they are America's super-patriots — on their way to the hereafter.

That's called taking the long view.

For them, financial meltdowns and war in the Middle East presage The End of Days, which opens the door to God's salvation.

It is a holy paradox: Bad news means good news, just wait a bit. That's the apocalyptic formula.

But the Christian Apocalypse, including raptures and the arrival of the anti-Christ, is taking a media back seat to a newer, more secular version, which we can all believe in because it's multicultural.

For those who haven't heard, the end of the world will take place on December 21, 2012, according to the ancient Mayan calendar.

It's a hard rain
Those Mayans were ingenious astronomers who believed not only in human sacrifice but that time moved in cycles, in coordination with equinoxes and other solar events.

If you want to read a New Age account of this prediction, you can leaf through Alexandra Bruce's 2012: Science or Superstition, which is deemed "the definitive guide to the doomsday phenomenon."

Clearing a path between fantasy and reality, Bruce asks this all-important question: "Is Earth losing its mojo?"

But serious folks are getting into this game, too.

Anthony Aveni is the Russell Colgate Distinguished Professor of Astronomy, Anthropology and Native American Studies at Colgate University in upstate New York.

He has researched and written about Maya astronomy for four decades and his book, a recent arrival to my desktop Atlantis, is called The End of Time: The Maya Mystery of 2012.

Aveni dedicates his book to Dylan, who turns out to be a Canadian high-school student, Dylan Aucoin, from Dartmouth, N.S.

Inquiring minds
For three years, Dylan has been peppering Aveni with questions about 2012.

Our teenager, it seems, was worried and sometimes horrified. "Is there anything to fear about 2012 and the New Age ideas of destruction and consciousness shifting?" he asked the scholar.

Aveni tells us that serious academics are reluctant to enter the popular marketplace (what world does he live in?).

But because of these Canadian promptings, he set out to write a more accessible guide.

But boy, is this a serious book. It's full of information about Mayan cosmology and astronomy.

I must admit it made my head spin. I think I'd prefer another book, which I haven't yet seen, but which Aveni mentions: The Complete Idiot's Guide to 2012.

Or wait for the movie
For those of you who don't want to read anything at all on this subject, you can always wait for the movie, 2012 — "in theatres November 13."

You may have seen the trailer already on TV. It's amazingly gorgeous and full of monstrous special effects.

Slices of Earth rise up and tidal waves sweep entire cities away. The statue of Jesus overlooking Rio de Janeiro is knocked aside like an apocalyptic bowling pin. The Vatican is crushed. The aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy lands on the White House, riding the crest of a vast rogue wave.

The movie is directed by Roland Emmerich who directed the spectacular disaster films Independence Day and The Day After.

Digital technology is now so advanced that you can readily believe that the end of the world is just plain thrilling.

An end to ennui
This brings me to a serious point amid all this End of the World glamour.

It's a point that the scholar Benjamin Kerstein makes in his thoughtful, insightful essay The Age of Catastrophic Thinking.

Like everybody else writing about the subject, Kerstein takes us through the obvious points. Rogue states and terrorists with nuclear weapons. Epidemics. Depression (financial and emotional). An atmosphere filled with both greenhouse gases and pervasive anxiety.

Did I miss a few? Just fill in the blanks. We live in an age where catastrophe has become an intellectual staple.

Kerstein also tells us that we are also living in a time of "collective ennui," where we feel overwhelmed and vulnerable, tiny human beings beset by a potentially vindictive universe.

Visions of universal disaster are certainly not a new phenomenon. But our information technology passes them around quickly.

The result, says Kerstein, can be "exciting, a profound antidote to boredom and stasis. It even provides us with a very real sense of global solidarity."

Now, Kerstein is a morally serious fellow who notes that this forced panic does have its downside.

Thinking too much about the End of the World As We Know It "cuts us off from life" and oppresses us psychologically.

"A life lived in fear, after all, is a wretched thing," he writes.

But thanks to Kerstein, we may now also recognize that hidden in all this apocalyptic news is a gleeful note. While we wait for The End, we can munch pop corn, delight at all that lovely destruction and root for our global saviours.

The books keep coming in. I'm piling them on Atlantis like a great Mayan temple.

2012 DOOMSDAY!

I haven't been paying attention I guess but I didn't know you were convinced that the human race is doomed. It may be, I don't know but if there is a way to avoid it we need to start now and hoarding resources will not save us from a geologic cataclysm. One crack in the earth's surface could swallow a city much less a basement full of water and bandaids. A scenario in which the whole earth ceases to be stable with oceans observing the boundaries of the shores does not lend itself to high odds for individual survival. Even a multi-billionaire doesn't have the resources to protect his immediate family and insure their lives for 20 to 50 years. Besides if no one else survives what kind of life would you have? This kind of obsession simply robs you of the ability to live today while the sun shines and the wind is sweet with the smell of vegetation of all kinds.

SURVIVE 2012

The United States and other world governments are well aware of what is coming. They know they won’t be able to protect and assist everyone, so they have developed self help materials and websites such as Ready.gov and FEMA.gov. These sites provide valuable information for short-term survival of isolated events such as earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes, but do not directly address the real dangers that await us.

Surviving the coming events of December 21 2012 is not necessarily like surviving other natural or manmade disaster. You and your family will have to be more proactive and assume more preemptive strategies for long term or even permanent survival. You need to realize that this will be a global event that will effect each and every living thing on the planet. Food and clean water will be scarce and public utilities will be nonexistent, The world governments can not and will not be able to assist in your continuing wellbeing and you will more or less be on your own.

The purpose of this website is to assist and provide you with the necessary resources and information to help you prepare for, and survive a long-term global disaster.

The following Fox News video is intended to give you an overview of what others are doing and what you can do to survive the coming disaster. Life after 2012. Are You Ready?
