What's the argument?
While some are seriously predicting doomsday during this solar cycle period due to the increased magnetic influence relative to an exponential increase in the volume of flares for this cycle others are stating that it is only paranoia and an exercise of capitalism by 2012 end of time book writers and film makers.
The article bashes the doomsdayers as it states, "So it looks like we are going to get roasted alive by our closest star on December 21st, 2012!".
I know of many prophecies that involve fire and cosmic influence but the only December 21, 2012 prediction i know is that of the end of the mesoamerican cyclical calendar which isn't necessarily a prediction of doom as much as a puzzle as to why it ends abruptly. This December 21, date is a reasonable interpreted date by scholars of mesoamerican history but it is not a law set in stone. The reason why it holds to reason is that the mesoamerican were a pagan sun worshipping people who had festivals on occasions where the seasons changed. That is on solstices and equinoxes. December 21, 2012 is not only a regular winter solstice. This solstice happens in a time whne the core of the galaxy is aligning with the Sun and the earth. The precession of the equinox also comes into play into this act. If the Mayan and Egyptians and others were aware of this then they would have been preparing festivals that would rival any modern day Superbowl. But when the Christians came along and converted many of the pagans then the true meaning of this December 21, 2012 festivity was all but lost along with the hundreds of glyph codices that went to hell during the book burning inquisition like rituals of the Franciscans and others. 2012 to the Mayans may have signified a period of spiritual ascension or then again it may have meant more. Only a totally dogmatic interpreter would know the perfect truth to that one. I believe the Mayan were on the same wavelength has the people of Homer's time. They were people who lived in harmony with nature and they got in trouble, like we are in now, when they tried to manipulate nature to conform to human standards.
The article kind of loses any spiritual meaning from then on but it does bring up some good points about the solar cycle that we are presently in albeit you had better have your thinking cap on and your notebook ready since you are going into the technical world of Platonic logical thinkers, or so it seems. Here is where the writer seems to want you to quantify every aspect of the solar cycle.
I love listening to logical people discuss 2012 issues. Is it logical reasoning or dis-eased doomsdayer debunking that comes out of some people who think they have answers to difficult situations.
It gets even more interesting once you start reading the comments. The first comment says it all.
And once more science conquers pseudoscience except in the minds of the "true believers" who will not allow something as inconvenient as the facts get in the way of their feelings and intuitions.
That my friends is defining bridge between Plato and Homer. Intuition vs Logic.
It's just another duality in our realm of dualities.
I can only say one thing as i play the non partial judge of 2012 prophecy and related issues and that is this. If the solar flare activity is so great as to destroy the better part of the planet and humanity in the coming years then those left behind will have no choice than to give up on the logical platonic approach to problem solving at least for a while since the only logical way to survive in the years after such cataclysm would most likely be through intuitive abstract thinking. Maybe even through learning to use those senses that logical thinkers tell you we don't have. I believe that intuitive sense was what Adam and Eve had before the chick got conned by the Serpens of the world beyond Ophiucus the great healer and conquerer of mortality into bitting into the apple (seed) of the tree of knowledge.
Leave it up to a women...sheeeshshhs and has one of the commenters states...relax and have a beer while the show unfolds itself.
