Did We Already Dodge The Bullet of 12/21/2010?

I have been preaching about the inaccuracy of history for years now, claiming that our history—or anyone’s history—is only as accurate as the people writing it down or translating it. History is often the product of someone’s idea of what they thought they were experiencing, or a blatant lie to protect the guilty and not necessarily what actually took place.

The same can be said of today’s true date. Our date is based upon the Gregorian calendar, which has been altered so many times by so many people that it’s a wonder anyone knows where they truly are in time and space. We have as guides, the Mayan Calendar, the Julian Calendar, the Farmer’s Almanac Calendar, the Astrological Calendar, the Gregorian Calendar, The Jewish Calendar etc… which one is correct? What Day is it, really?

Some scholars believe that our current calendar is based on calculations surrounding Christian beliefs – year one being the year Christ was born; therefore it has been 2011 years since the birth of Christ. However, others insist that Christ was actually born in -4 BC indicating that Christ was really born 2015 years ago. According to the Jewish calendar the current year is 5771.

As long as we all agree on a date, there shouldn’t be a problem, right? Not unless one wanted to calculate the exact date of the “BIG UNKNOWN EVENT,” more commonly known as 12/21/2012.

According to astrologer, Victoria Peltz the world calendar might be off two years based on the shifting from the use of the Julian Calendar to our present Gregorian Calendar, making December 21, 2010 the date of reckoning. I don’t know about all of you, but I didn’t feel or hear of the world coming an end a few days ago.

But this is what did happen on the Winter Solstice, 12/21/2010: A powerful lunar eclipse took place that lasted over an hour, which won’t happen again for another 36 years. (When I woke up that morning at 7:15 am I noticed that it was still very dark—much darker than normal for this time of the year.) At the Tropic of Cancer, which runs through the town of Todo Santos in Baja California, the moon was at its zenith (straight up) during the total eclipse. This is a once in a thousand year event. The sunrise on that day was also perfectly aligned with our Galactic Center, which is a very rare event, as well. Not only was the sunrise aligned with the Galactic Center, but so were the moon, sun, and the Earth. This was the forecasted line up that was to take place on 12/21/2012, which was predicted to cause havoc on our planet. Oh, and one more thing that happened on this date, my cousin Debbie had her birthday!

So stop worrying about December 21, 2012. We just went through what the Mayans predicted would happen, and we’re still here to talk about it, so it wasn’t such a big deal—much like the predicted world collapse of our computer systems at 2000.

The next time someone asks you what the date is, be truthful and answer, “I have no idea!”
