"Galactic alignment with galactic central point". What does that mean? When you're in a circular, or quasi circular, motion, you are *always* "aligned" with the center of the circle. Look, we're actually at 0.02 degrees above (north of) the galactic plane. Because the distance to the center of the galaxy is of many light years, those 0.02 degrees are a relatively long distance. And we're actually traveling *farther* from the galactic plane, due to our actual direction of motion towards the Solar Apex, which is in the northern hemisphere. So, there's also no chance that we'll "cross the galactic plane" anytime soon. It seems to me that you're confusing or mixing the apparent motion of the Sun at the solstices, with so called "galactic alignment". Take into account that the galactic distances are huge. My take is that we will not see any sudden changes in relation to any galactic related motion. We're "wobbling" inside the galaxy arm at 16.6 km/s. That's slow movement, in relation to galactic (extra solar system) distances. Even more: the conventional view is that that movement is a linear one, that is, at the moment, and as far as I know, scientists are unable to calculate the rate of curvature of such "wobble". That can give you an idea of the times and distances involved. We're also traveling at 220 km/s in the general direction of galactic rotation. That means that we'll complete a hypothetical turn in 220 million years! And as I said, although that velocity is one order of magnitude greater than the movement towards the solar apex, we're always "aligned" to the center, in relation to that movement, because that movement is (roughly) on the circumference of a circle. Now, in relation to 2012 and doomsday scenarios, I'll take the chance here and say what I think, once and for all: In my opinion, 2012 in particular has nothing to do with "galactic alignment"(alignment with what?), crossing of the galactic plane, changing "galactic frequencies", or whatever you want to call it in your particular brand or mix of "speculative philosophy". There's a lot of hype and exaggeration. Even National Geographic, Discovery and History channel are feeding the fire of the coming final days. All they do in these "documentaries" is to emphasize the negative aspects of change, that is, those of destruction, upheaval, crisis, suffering and, in a general sense, doom. There will be no doomsday. I repeat: no doomsday. No end of the world. But, and this is undeniable, we're experiencing a lot of unusual things, mostly in weather patterns, also in the occurrence of volcanoes and earthquakes, floodings, extreme weather, etc. In my opinion, the weather, also earthquakes and volcanoes, that is, seismic activity on Earth, and also other, "subtler" phenomena, are all related to cosmic phenomena. In particular, to the activity of the Sun, but also to planetary positions and alignments, oppositions, etc. We're just starting to see and understand these connections, and that understanding will eventually lead to a new, scientific form of the old science of astrology, which clearly cannot continue and survive as it is today. Much water will have to run under the bridge for the actual, materialistic form of scientific knowledge to embrace and pursue that knowledge, but it will happen nevertheless, sooner or later, due to the simple fact that those effects and influences are real. We're approaching a particular event that will happen in 2012, which is related to the weather in forms that we actually don't understand in a scientific way, but that are probably due to the solar wind and its interactions with the Earth(i.e. electromagnetic effects, in a broad or generic form), which are in turn affected or modified by the planets, by their location in the ecliptic. The (second) transit of Venus will happen in 2012. The transits of Venus(Venus "crossing" the Sun in front of the Earth) come in pairs, separated by 8 years, and those pairs are separated by the next pair by 105 or 121 years. The first transit happened in 2004. So, if you study weather patterns, you discover that every hundred years or so, we have had a decade of uncommon weather. So much for the end of the times. Lastly, I want to add something more: In the very same way as there's a cycle of day and night, and a cycle of the seasons, there are probably greater cycles. And those cycles are probably related(in ways that we quite don't understand yet) to the rise and fall of civilizations on Earth, and also to the general "state of mind" of the beings on Earth. To the dark ages and to the golden ages. But please take into account that the duration of those cycles is large, in the order of thousands of years, and more. Those changes happen gradually. What we as human beings can do, and in a certain, very real way, are obligued by the circumstances to do, is to attune and encompass those relatively gradual changes. It is my understanding, and this is clear as day if you know where, what and /how/ to look, we're entering a new age of enlightenment, a new golden age. It is in that sense that the concept of apocalipsis must be understood. Apocalypsis meaning "the rising of the veil.". As you can imagine, it's very important to understand the Apocalypsis, the rising of the veil, in a positive, creative, constructive, enlightening way. And we as human beings can and should work, both individually and collectivelly, to achieve just that.
