Very good! That says it all. I especially like the last sentence. This also helps put things like Global Warming/Cooling into perspective!

Get over yourself.
It makes for a cute story, but it isn't true. At least, the part about spontaneous transmission of a cultural trait across space without contact is not true.
There are major contradictions in the present idealization of critical mass -- seen not only in the Hundredth Monkey story, but in the ideologies of such organizations as est, Bhagwan Rajneesh, and the "Aquarian conspirators." In promoting the idea that, although our ideas are shared by only an enlightened few (for the time being), if we really believe them, in some magical way what we hold to be true becomes true for everyone, proponents of the critical mass ideal ignore the principles of both humanism and democratic open society. The basis for openness in our kind of society is the belief that, for good or ill, each of us holds his or her own beliefs as a responsible participant in a pluralistic culture. Are we really willing to give up on this ideal and promote instead a monolithic ideology in which what is true for a "critical mass" of people becomes true for everyone? The idea gives me the willies.

2012 and Y2K/2000 are hardly comparable. Y2K was a problem with computers where they could only handle 2 digits in the year field. So year 99 would become year 0. Companies had to replace their software so that bills etc wouldn't get printed with year 00 by mistake.
2012 is an event prophesised by the worlds most intelligent ancient civilisations as the culmination of their entire civilisations work. Not really comparable to a Microsoft cash scam.

The thread is quite long so you probably missed my post on taking action. Taking action is integral in working with your higher self. It is equally as important as the visualisation/belief/positive outlook/vibration. The key to connecting with the higher self is to always ACT on you passion/joy/excitement. Think, 'what are all the options open to me at this present moment', then pick the one that excites you the most and act on it. Then when you have acted on that excitement to the fullest think of the next most exciting thing you can do and TAKE ACTION on that and so on and so on. If you are leading your life in this way you are acting in alignment with your soul purpose, the reason you incarnated on this planet at this time. When you are acting in alignment with your soul purpose you are helping everyone on the planet in the best way you possibly can. Think of it like a jigsaw puzzle. If one piece dosn't fit the whole picture doesn't work. If all the pieces fit everything works perfectly. So basically I am saying the best thing you can do to help the current situation on this planet is to always ACT on your excitement to the best of your ability.

2012 is happening already, it has started earlier than predicted maybe? We are evolving as a species. You can debate all you like but the fact is, is that it is happening now. Millions across the planet are waking up to their true nature and reconnecting to their higher selves. The evidence is everywhere you look if you have eyes to see. Welcome to the age of Homo Galactaca.

I can't believe that intelligent people are getting sucked into this 2012 prophecy story. Here are two things to think about:
1) In the entire history of the human race, not a single such prophecy has ever been proven true.
2) The Mayan long count calendar is not a "prophecy" anyway -- it simply ends in 2012 because it has a fixed number of days. It was actually the START DATE that was most important to the contemporary Mayans, not the end date.
Read an academic paper on that here: Link to article (pdf)
