The 2012 shift is by all means real, it is all whether you are interested in seeing it or not. It is of course an ontological issue, but I'd like to think that it is indeed really taking place (in an objective way).

No you did not ask me that. How can I know it is real? Well of course I cannot know. You should try not to rely on someone telling you something is real, or else you will have others tell you what is the truth. Is an atom real? Well, somebody told you it was. Have you seen one? Have you seen the spin? Does it spin? Are there a hundred million stars (or the like) in our galaxy? Well, somebody sure told you that was the case. Have you counted them? Have you seen through one of the telescopes NASA use? Do you trust the ones saying it is the case merely because they are many?
When someone else state something and you find it fitting to the reality you find yourself comfortable in, that does not mean that you have gained a truth. Somebody else did and they found the truth for themselves, then they told you and you believe it to be true (I am not saying anything about what you believe or not).
You can zig-zag your way out of this with semantics, taking me for writing the OP and so on but this is the only truth anyone can deliver to you (beyond any doubt); you are. Is that real enough?
Try yourself, tell me something that is real.

The issue is not a matter of blind acceptance. It appears that you are asking me to blindly accept you. That is why I have asked people in this thread that make claims how to tell if the claims are real or not.

May I jump in here and ask what requisites you need for something to be "real"?
Just so that I can understand where you'e coming from and going atedit on 5-2-2013 by Raud because: html error
These are times whether you like it or not.
The Mayans did not speak of an absolute end date, that is true. What they did speak of however was the return of their God who represents the dualism come together as one.
This is extremely important to understand- the width of such an unity.
You want me to prove that this is "really" happening and not just in my/our imagination?
Of course that is impossible to do since practically everything happens inside our minds. Just taking that into consideration is a major part of understanding the divine connection- that "God" is in all of us.
I really don't want to speak too much about this since it is so extremely important for people to formulate such ideas on their own and not just copy-paste what someone said on a forum somewhere
I jest

That would be asking for facts or proof. I asked for a means of determining that this was real.
This thread is in the 2012 forum, not the gray zone or some other forum where more vague threads are placed.
If these ideas are based on things that are more faith based than not, then of course the evidence is not there and the idea is only real in the mind of the believer. That's okay. Some things are like that.
Is this real or just based on faith?
