The thing is nothing is decided. We don't know for sure no matter how much material we find or how many people write about any particular
subject.
Let's say it is "The End". What is it the end of? Those two words can and have been interpreted in so many different ways. And many of those ways are on this thread. In the end is when we will find out for sure. If you cross reference as much material as possible some of the interpretations fall away. After a lot of cross referencing from many different sources the point comes where it appears to be "an end and a beginning" as someone pointed out. However, this is still not fact. We could argue till "The End" of Time about what "The End" means. But we won't know for sure till it gets here. And thus the beautiful mystery of our condition. I'm personally enjoying the story.

Yes, our sun will align with what is called the dark rift which just happens to be the center of our galaxy.
"To start with, however, I use the exact center of the Milky Way band that one finds on star charts, known as the "Galactic Equator" (not to be confused with Galactic Center). Where the Galactic Equator crosses the ecliptic in Sagittarius just happens to be where the dark rift in the Milky Way begins. This is a dark bifurcation in the Milky Way caused by interstellar dust clouds. To observers on earth, it appears as a dark road which begins near the ecliptic and stretches along the Milky Way up towards Polaris. The Maya today are quite aware of this feature; the Quich» Maya call it xibalba be (the "road to Xibalba") and the Chorti Maya call it the "camino de Santiago". In Dennis Tedlock's translation of the Popol Vuh, we find that the ancient Maya called it the "Black Road". The Hero Twins Hunahpu and Xbalanque must journey down this road to battle the Lords of Xibalba. (Tedlock 334, 358). Furthermore, what Schele has identified as the Sacred Tree was known to the ancient Quich» simply as "Crossroads."
This celestial feature was not marginal in ancient Mayan thought and is still rec- ognized even today. In terms of how this feature was mythologized, it seems that when a planet, the sun, or the moon entered the dark cleft of the Milky Way in Sagittarius (which happens to be the exact center of the Milky Way, the Galactic Equator), entrance to the underworld road was possible, which could then take the journeyer up to the Heart of Sky. Shamanic vision rites were probably involved in this scenario. In the Yucatan, underground caves were ritual places used by shaman to journey to the underworld. Schele explains that "Mayan mythology identifies the Road to Xibalba as going through a cave" (Forest of Kings, 209). Here we have a metaphorical reference to the "dark rift" in the Milky Way by way of its terrestrial counterpart, a syncretism between earth and sky which is characteristic of Mayan thinking. Above all, what is becoming apparent from the corpus of Mayan Creation Myths is that creation seems to have taken place at a celestial crossroads - the crossing point of ecliptic and Milky Way."

In the meantime, expect prophets of Disaster N Doom R Us to be showing up every year with a new END OF THE WORLD prediction. Christian prophets have been doing it every year since the death of Jesus and there's no sign that they're going to quit doing it.
This year we were supposed to have been swept up in the Apocalypse and Planet X in May was supposed to have trashed the Earth and... oh yes... two or three killer comets were going to wipe out most of the Earth (and we haven't even gotten into the holiday season.)
Might care to take a gander here...

Now, for the record, I am NOT saying that this event will destroy the world, although it will certainly have very negative effects for most of the North American continent.
*note* It certainly does give food for thought to Vals idea that a superpower like the US doesnt show up in the Book of Revelations because it may have been taken out alreaady by this potential event.
Also, for the record, I would like to point out that I am NOT pinning a specific date on the potential eruption, and that theter is indeed a chance that no eruption will take place (although I owuld say it is rather probable that it will).
