The Galaxy has an axis along the horizontal plane that Sol will pass through on 20 Dec 2012 (give or take a few days.) The Mayan calender finishes in 2012, and has been considered to be the end of an Age. Why? Maybe we'll find out when it happens. Harmonics plays an intricate part in the mechanism of universal development, in that it creates order from chaos. While this is may be hard to relate, from our present viewpoint, the axis will only be crossed once.
The way people act, the universe, as we know it may just be an isolation tank/quarantine until humanity, (or any other 'intelligent' species evolved) learns the the difference between knowledge, and wisdom. They say a little knowledge is...

and God?
"Say God does the Universe have a purpose?"
- You have a brain You work it out.
What we see of the universe is smaller than the tip of the iceberg. Visible Light is a nip on the spectrum. For all we know there are spectra way beyond us, but we have not yet needed to evolve any means of detecting them, at least until we have a clue about the mechanisms of which we are already aware.
Supposing someone tried to work out the purpose of a computer, before they turned it on. Perhaps they would decide it was an ornament.

Perhaps our entire universe is but a single cell in the embryo of a cosmic egg, yet to be born, a slave to a master race, being purposely bred for the labor of our experience.

Or, perhaps we, like everything else in the universe, is but food for higher forms of life. Much like the way we breed cattle for slaughter.

Every thing that lives requires food; even the gods. Do we really think we're at the top of the universal food chain? Every living thing becomes food for the higher, or the lower; but food nonetheless.

The universe eats its children. Everything to which it has given life....it has eaten!

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat...

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
Lev 26:29 (KJV)

And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee
Deut 28:53 (KJV)

And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness
Jer 19:9 (KJV)

See? The omniscient god commands it. Ye are all but food for the universe!

Now chill, while I hit this j again, yo.

Someday you will look back at that comment and blush.

I was blushing when I wrote it. At one time I thought it to be a serious consideration. I thought our souls (at that time I believed we had one) was just food for higher souls.

I thought Nature continued up the spiritual ladder, so nothing much changed except the degree of development in sentient beings. But the rules... the food chain, was an endless fractal that developed the way Nature develops.

The big fish eat the little fish; the little fish eat the smaller fish, up the scale and down.

And so god loves us the way we love food. One consciousness consumes another.

But there was the possibility that "we can ...

But there was the possibility that "we can dart past the Eagle to be free." (I was in to Carlos Castaneda back then.)

The final destination of the universe:

There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,...

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. [Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy conversation and godliness ... ?
