The Mysteries of 2012 and Their Affects on Today’s Culture
            There is one main common theory circulating around the globe regarding this new year of 2012.  The myth is that the world will end on Winter Solstice, December 21, 2012, when the Mayan calendar ends.  The more scientists, religious leaders, and theorists study the phenomenon of 2012, the more theories begin to become apparent.  Here is what we know as fact; the Mayan people vanished without a trace, the Mayan calendar is ending its 13 Baktun period (the last year of a 5000 year cycle), and through films, literatures, spiritual ceremonies, history, and science, no one can or will be able to foretell what exactly will occur on 12/21/12.
            The curiosity about the end of the world has been pasted on to our generation by old world order.  “Five thousand years ago, ancient scriptures recorded that all of creation was done and complete, and that anything that could possibly be created already exists.  Now, five thousand years later, quantum physics has confirmed that every single possibility of anything and everything actually exists now (Byrne, 2010).  All many different theories exist; I am going to present three.  The first is the end of the Mayan calendar, the second is the Aztec legend of the Five Suns, and the third is Novelty Theory.  Each theory presents a similar yet different view of what will take place in 12 months. 
            The Aztec’s were not the only culture to believe in the Five Suns.  A summary of Aztec myths regarding the Five Suns is that every 52 years the sun begins to die and in order to save the world a god must sacrifice themselves (Freeman, 2009).  When sacrifice occurs, the world is destroyed and the process begins again.  Currently, the world is now in the Fifth Sun ending on 12/21/12 by the movement of the sun causing a massive earthquake.  The last theory presented is followed by millions of people around the world.  The mathematical novelty theory predicts a point of singularity in which humankind will go through a great shift in consciousness (Stopa, 2007).      
            The main point and insight of all these theories or myths is symbolism not actuality.  The world is not going to physically end.  Each theory, legend, and myth is in fact a change of consciousness.  If you believe in the Mayan’s and their calendar, you will have followed their traditions and what you believe will come to pass.  If you choose the Legend of the Five Suns and you devote your spiritual life to the Aztec’s wisdom, what you believe will come to pass.  If you meditate and surround yourself within higher consciousness, you will transcend and what you believe will come to pass.  If you are a Christian and you believe in the Book of Revelations, then what you believe will come to pass.  This may sound a bit simplest to you, but we are only a spec in the universe; how can we be complex? 
            A majority of popular culture knows little about the many different theories surrounding this ominous year.  Yet, even fewer of mainstream society understand the vastness of the universe.  Ancient civilizations depended on the universe to provide all their needs.  Werner Heisenberg, a Nobel Prize Quantum Physicist says, “Atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts (Byrne, 2010).  Therefore, because the universe is unlimited and bountiful, on December 21, 2012, the universe as we know will split into many different universes depending on the manifestations of thoughts and feelings being emitted.  What universe will you end up in?  What does your future look like in 2013?
