[loljuliana]

i searched but nothing came up.

has anyone heard of someone predicting the end of the world to be on december 21, 2012? my summerschool teacher said that a guy predicted that and he was also the one who predicted 9/11 [said something about 2 brothers falling due to a bird; the 2 brothers = twin towers; bird = airplane]. i barely know anything about this stuff?

has anyone heard of this / what do you know about it?

When I lived in Sedona, AZ, (it's a beautiful red rock metaphysical Disneyland in northern part of the state) there were a lot of people who viewed 2012 as an ascension for some people. I guess they see it in a way of a Christian, or any other person who believes in heaven/hell. You get to evolve into a "higher plane of existence" for living under some guideline... If you don't, the end of the world will consume you.

(I'm sorry that I don't remember more specifics.)

Anyway, a lot of the local psychics made some serious $ scamming people by telling them if they were going to ascend or not. Most people weren't so they needed a few more appointments to make sure they were on the right path so the Nostradamus prophecies wouldn't effect them.

I think this has a lot of the same overtones that Benny Hinn uses. If you believe all this fatalistic stuff, you'll need a guide to save you from damnation. The Puritains read Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and got "duped" in the same manner. It's unfortunate that people don't take the time to validate this kind of information. There would be a lot less hysteria over claims that cannot be substantiated.
