Metaphysics & End Times Prophecy ~ Gary McDonald

A licensed counselor trained in past life regression, Gary J. McDonald presented his ideas on spiritual matters in which he has blended new age, religion, and science concepts together, as well as prophecies from the likes of Cayce, Nostradamus, and the Hopi Indians. He believes we are in the midst of 'End Times,' and as the Earth/solar system aligns with a galactic black hole, we could experience a shift of the Earth's axis, leading to devastating tsunamis and quakes. Hopi Elders have predicted that the United States will be destroyed, he added.

McDonald described undergoing a "spiritual download," in which he briefly experienced enlightenment and the "universal matrix." From this knowledge he's concluded there are just 144,000 souls on Earth, and that each living person shares parallel lives via an oversoul with around 45,000 other individuals. He views humankind as fallen angels, and said there are seven heavens, and 12 dimensions, with each dimension a different step in consciousness.

The Mayan calendar end date actually falls on Saturday, 12-22-2012 rather than Friday, 12-21-12, and this will make it worse because it means we are "transitioning on the Sabbath," McDonald suggested. Though he conceded that major calamities may not happen in 2012, he foresees that within the next few years 2/3 of the Earth's population will die, but some of this may be averted, including a third World War, if we shift our consciousness.

Wikipedia
End time (also called end times, end of time, end of days, last days, final days, or eschaton) is a time period described in the eschatologies of the dominant world religions, both Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic.

The Abrahamic faiths maintain a linear cosmology, with end time scenarios containing themes of transformation and redemption. In Judaism, the term "end of days" is a reference to the Messianic Age, and includes an in-gathering of the exiled diaspora, the coming of the mashiach, olam haba, and resurrection of the Tsadikim. In Christianity, end time is depicted as a time of tribulation that precedes the second coming of Christ, who will face the emergence of the Antichrist and usher in the Kingdom of God. In Islam, the Yawm al-Qiyāmah or Yawm ad-Din, the Day of Judgement, is preceded by the appearance of al-Mahdi atop a white stallion. With the help of Isa, Mahdi will then triumph over Masih ad-Dajjal.

The non-Abrahamic faiths have more cyclical eschatologies regarding end time, characterized by decay, redemption and rebirth. In Hinduism, end time is foretold as when Kalki, the final incarnation of Vishnu, descends atop a white horse and bring an end to the current Kali Yuga. In Buddhism, the Buddha predicted that his teachings would be forgotten after 5,000 years, followed by turmoil. A bodhisattva named Maitreya will appear and rediscover the teaching of dharma. The ultimate destruction of the world will then come through seven suns.

Since the discovery of deep time and the age of the Earth, scientific discourse about end time has centered around the ultimate fate of the universe. Theories have included the Big Rip, Big Crunch, Big Bounce, and Big Freeze.
