dissappointing - By: A. Wilson-suffield, 30 Aug 2008 
I recently purchased this book over amazon & was really intrigued. As this was the first book on the subject that I had found except ofcourse the orion prophecy, I was a bit annoyed that the author kept referring to other works of his. Every other paragraph seemed to begin with 'as you will already know from my other works' etc.
I found this really irritating as I hadn't read all the other books & from the way the author chose to constantly reference himself I felt that maybe this was a book simply made to further stroke his ego!
Although I find the subject completely & utterly intriguing & scary at the best of times as he is very honest about the various situations that may occur, I also found that the book seems to draw on data that couldnt be disproven until the forthcoming date....
I hope the end doesnt come but allin all the book gave me something interesting to read

Suckers,
The end of the world again!. I thought that had happenedin 1984, oh no sorry, that was New Year's Eve 1999.
You should fear human nature more than nature itself. We will destroy ourselves long before nature has its say. Is Mr. Gerylin the employment of a certain North American government. Create a little fear & it goes a long way - Reds under the bed, weapons of mass destruction & the best one of all, GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!!.
READ JIM MARRS FOR A CLEARER VISION OF REALITY.

A stark and clear message - By: Simone, 04 Aug 2007 
Maybe it won't happen, maybe it will!! It is a stark message, & had it been written by a recognised scientist then we would all be running for cover. Is it about to happen (in 5 years)? If it were so close then wouldn't world leaders react, or is that why they are clamping down on things that contribute to global warming? Maybe they do not want to panic us into a stampede? This book is worthy of stopping youin your tracks, if only for the fear factor.
Warning: Patrick Geryl holds nothing back in describing the coming cataclysm in 2012! - By: Dennis R. Hoyer, 18 May 2007 Patrick Geryl is brutally honestin describing this Cataclysmin our near future. Just to give you a small sample foundin the foreword:
"I clearly explained that life after a polar reversal is nothing but horror, pure unimaginable horror. All securities you presently have at hand such as food transportation & medicine will disappearin one big blow, as will our entire civilization, dissolved into nothingness. It cannot be more horrifying than this; worse than the worst nightmare. More destructive than a nuclear warin which the entire global arsenal of nuclear weapons has been deployed. Are you grasping the facts?
The earth will be subject to total destruction. It will be many times worse than my description. You will know terrible hunger, cold, & pain without the hope of a quick recovery; all knowledge & resources will have been completely destroyed. This will be the reality of your daily life after the forthcoming polar reversal. This is the scenario you will have to fight your way throughin order to survive."
The author of this book focuses on a cycle of 11,500-12,000 years, after which the earth is subjected to a polar reversal/shift caused by our sun's solar cycles that occurin this period of time. I have studied a much longer cycle of 30 million years, whereby the solar system, goes through the galactic plane every 30 million years, which for some reason during this event causes mass extinctions on earth (please see my "So you'd like to" guide here on amazon.com). These two cycles seem to come together on or about 2012 which means we arein for thee grand daddy Great Catastrophe of the Ages. So the aforementioned two paragraph quote from Geryl is very accurate. Geryl goes on to state that if you want to survive you need at least 12-18 thousand dollars minimum to purchase necessary items to survive & you need to pick the right locationin the world which does not include North & South America. Even though I give this book 5 stars, I disagree with Geryl on many pointsin this book. Some of which are:
Geryl states on page 96-97 that after the pole shift of 2012, the United States & Canada will be located under the Artic circle (the new South Pole) & North America will be under glaciers just like the last ice age. I don't think anyone but God knows what the new geography will be after 2012. I don't expect this to occur. If it does, it will be a quick end, which may be for the best. Another item I disagree with is, what our future population should be limited to because more people, means more pollution. Geryl states that no more than 100 million people should occupy the earth which is an extreme positionin my opinion. Even the N.W.O. people say 500 million people are optimal. The world can sustain 1 or 2 billion people easily & should be limited to this. Geryl also states that just before the next polar flip the population of earth should be culled to a mere 100,000 people. That is just absurd; almost as crazy as his suggestion that venereal disease can be cured by fasting for 16 days (page 107). Geryl is a vegetarian that believesin a fruit & vegetable diet & wants to ban many industriesin the coming new world which include slaughterhouses, tobacco companies, candy companies, chemical companies (pesticides & herbicides), food companies that process food, & limit the size of cities (avoiding tall buildings)in the pursuit of a much happier society. On page 128, Geryl says:
"A strong central authority will have to issue strict laws for starting companies & the use of raw materials. This is the only way to prevent ecological catastrophes. Furthermore, we need to make sure that people can earn money, but cannot become rich."
If I survive this pole shift/reversal, I, being an American, do not want Gerylin charge of the new world, that's for sure. I value freedom & Geryl, being from Belgium, does not. And finally, contrary to Geryl, I believe that most governments (especially the USA) know of this coming catastrophe & have been preparing for it for years. The USA (also China & Russia) has massive underground cities all over the world. The USA has COG (continuity of government) & a huge antigravity fleetin Utah under King's Peak Mountain with highly advanced extraterrestrial technology. The USA has been exploring the solar system & beyond, with bases on the moon, mars, & else where with spaceships that travel faster than the speed of light (for proof see David Sereda's DVD "From here to Andromeda"). Most of the USA underground cities will perishin the coming polar shift, but some will survive. Finally, our government will not offer sanctuary to any of us common people only to high government officials, CEO's, a special elite military force, a slave work force, & billionaires have a placein these underground fortresses. It is the reason the Bush administration is spending money like there is no tomorrow, because there is no tomorrow for "our" civilization after 2012. Two years before 2012 Geryl states he will publish this book for free on the web which proves he is sincere & really believes the end of the world is at hand.

Reviewer: marsmoon - See all my reviews
This is the question that comes to mind when considering the thesis of Patrick Geryl's book, How to Survive 2012? Based on his research & the deciphering of mathematical codes left by ancient scholars, a cataclysmic event will soon overwhelm the planet. This is the thirdin a series of his books about the devastating destruction that the author has discovered is comingin 2012---a planetary geophysical pole reversal.
The first part of the book discusses his voluminous research from several different disciplines including mathematics, ancient texts, archaeology, geology, cartography, mythology, astronomy, & physics that led him to conclude that a pole reversal will happenin 2012. Such a shift of the earth's crust would resultin the destruction of civilization & the deaths of most of the world's population. The author can get quite graphicin his description of what would happen during & following a pole reversal. However, I find that there is a wisdom & compassionin his style of writing. It is to prepare the mind like an inoculation so that when actual conditions present themselves, one can act.
Patrick's writer's voice is clear, logical, enthusiastic, & strident. He believes that the devastation of 2012 is going to happen. It has happened thousands of timesin the history of the earth, he contends,in clock-like fashion. The compelling aspect about Patrick to me is that he presents himself as a sincere person, a diligent, self-made scholar who has put together the pieces of the puzzle into a huge mosaic until the picture becomes clear & the arrows point to one central message. If you ever wondered why the Egyptians & Mayans labored for generations to build pyramids, wouldn't warning future generations of a planetary cataclysmic event be such a reason? It so happens that our technology just nowin this generation has reached a point to be able to decipher the symbols & messages contained there.
If pole reversal is comingin 2012 how can it be that our top scientists are not warning us about it, & how is it that they don't know about it? Patrick claims that he has cracked the code mathematically & it is evidentin the book that he has been thinking about this voluminous topic deeply for many years. Many breakthrough discoveries have come from independent persons who thought about things from different anglesin totally new ways. What distinguishes his bookin an area of rapidly mounting interest is the quality of his analyses & the mannerin which he came upon his discovery. He claims that he has deciphered the messages of warning left for us by our ancestorsin the pyramids,in the Mayan calendar, Dendera Zodiac, the Nazca lines, & the ancient myths & legends. The great controversy lies notin if he is wrong, but if he is right. If he is right, then he could be warning us of the inevitability of the most tumultuous eventin the history of humanity. While the implications of what he is presenting would call upon us to totally change our way of life, this warning might allow for humanity to prepare & for some of us to survive to carry forth our wisdom & knowledge for future generations. If the poles shifted do you know how your area would be affected? Find out how to prepare & where the safe zones will be.
