2012 - The end is nigh!

my sister thinks there's an element of truth in this, but not that we're all going to die, but there will be some kind of massive transition in civilisation.

Yep, that's the general consensus amongst the New Age / conspiracy theorist / spiritual types.

2012 will mark a profound shift in human consciousness, a grand 'awakening' - whatever that might mean.
