Dr. Bruce Goldberg said he was not worried about the 12/21/12 apocalypse, as the future life progressions he has conducted with patients showed it would be just another day. Meso-American scholars have found nothing about the end of the world in Mayan records, he added. Goldberg advised listeners to access their higher selves and not let others bring them down. Glynis McCants offered numerological insights, noting that the master number for this auspicious date is ’11’. This is about communication and the opportunity to let things go and become a better person. McCants warned of conflict on 12/23/12 and said the new year will be about getting back to the basics in a ‘cycle of 6.’

Author Whitley Strieber credited the media with propagating end-of-the-world hype surrounding the date. He also corrected some misconceptions, noting that we are not passing over the lens of the galaxy and the planets are not in alignment. Researcher Wynn Free shared an opposing point of view, explaining that on 12/21/12 a celestial alignment allowed energy to flow into our realm at the strongest magnitude in the history of mankind. This energy is causing the Earth, a third chakra planet, to move into a fourth chakra marked by compassion and empathy, he said. Humans must open their heart chakras to the new energy to continue on their evolutionary track, Free added.

Author and nuclear terrorism expert Robert Gleason pointed out that there is no evidence of any forthcoming apocalypse in the extant Mayan writings. Everything we know about them is really just from their monuments and oral traditions, he said. Huffington Post writer Lee Speigel expressed his concern about the psychological impact the doomsday date may have had on certain individuals. One science teacher claimed that parents of two of her students planned to kill themselves and the children, he reported. Mythologist William Henry identified the day as a ‘mile marker’ in an ongoing internal process, not a destination. Now the real work of rebuilding our world view begins, he announced.

Investigator Graham Hancock said he is filled with joy at the idea of humanity waking up and taking back sovereignty from the state, corporations, and religion. Our destiny lies in our own hands, he added. Egyptologist Robert Bauval marvelled at the Mayan’s ability to calculate the apparent movement of the precession of the equinox. He also commented on the controversy surrounding archaeologist Zahi Hawass as well as the final round of voting on Egypt’s constitution. Scientist Maurice Cotterell explained that the Mayan calendar has not actually ended and contains accurate information about sun cycles and magnetic reversals.
