Previously looking into the Mayan calendar and its “End Date” (figured by most to be December 21st 2012) I was aware of the of the ramifications that are being postulated by many. With all the hype around the previous millennium bug I was originally rather skeptical on the whole 2012 subject, but that darn date kept on appearing in the most inexplicable places.
Research into ecological matters revealed scientists who are preparing for possibly the largest Solar storms on record around 2012. There are also predictions that, in the same year the poles could be ice-free for the first time in ages. The year 2012 also began to appear within modern technologies. Computer software and programs began predicting unforeseen events that have occurred, and their predictions for 2012 point to a time of “climactic change”. With all these different oracles pointing toward “climactic times” in or around 2012, an extremely important questions become : Is the End Date meant to signify an event literally on that day? Or possibly the end of a cycle inclusive of a new beginning? Or could 2012 represent a period of time, or a time frame when humanity may be given opportunities to change as a result of life altering events? Possibly all of the above may be partially valid answers.
Most religions and cultures have some variation of the “End of Days” scenario, but it was the Mayans Long Count calendar that gave it a specific date that has begun to creep into the consciousness of millions. We will briefly touch on the Mayan calendar and why scholars feel the Mayans chose to abruptly end their calendar on this chosen date. We will then be able to use that information as a stepping stone, or reference point, as we examine what both modern science and advanced technology are saying in regard to the same period of time. The time has arrived to search for the keys to the 2012 gate and prepare for what may be awaiting us on the other side.
The Maya
The ancient Maya were an extremely advanced civilization for their time and made their home in the Yucatan Peninsula. Their extremely advanced knowledge was inclusive of mathematics, architecture, astronomy, and most important to our investigation, time and space. They recorded and applied this knowledge and implemented it into a very advanced and accurate calendar system. The Maya not only referred to time and space, but were able to predict future events with amazing accuracy through their calendar system. The calendar is capable of recording astronomical predictions such as eclipses, lunar and solar cycles, Venus cycles, and was able to do so for thousands of years both into the past and future. The calendar was even more accurate than the modern day Gregorian used by most. It actually consisted of three calendars in one. There was a ceremonial calendar known as the Tzolkin that kept track of a 260 day time frame. Then there was the Solar calendar known as the Haab that registered a 365 day time cycle. Third was the infamous Long Count calendar, which kept track of “ Great Cycles”, of 5125 years. In Mayan cosmology there are five of these “Great Cycles”, the first four of which they claim have already taken place, each leading to great destruction, in turn yielding new beginnings. Thus, we are currently living in the fifth cycle and it is slated to end on December 21st 2012. It is important to understand how the Maya actually perceived time. They did not just observe it, but were obsessed with it. Their view of time was rather different than the majority of modern societies. They believed time was cyclical rather than linear, and believed fully that occurrences of the past would re-occur in our future.
Researchers have re-discovered that on the winter solstice in 2012, the Sun and Earth will be aligning with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, an astronomical event that takes place once every 26,000 years! Not only will we be aligning with the Galactic center but the Earth’s procession also completes a cycle around the same time. The majority of researchers agree on the premise of a Galactic alignment and a completion of the precession, but differ on the possible outcomes. For us to truly understand the essence and message of the Mayan calendar and its culmination in 2012, our own personal intuition may be required.
Although some of the details and conclusions of researchers, scientists, and others may differ regarding 2012, the larger more general picture seems to remain quite similar: In or around 2012 there may be life altering events forcing changes the way people interact with each other, and our planet. Just what kind of changes are yet to be seen, but many have postulated a possible shift in consciousness as a result. The answer to this question require more than casual research. We will examine a few answers here, but, if interested, the reader is encouraged to dig deeper . We can look at a few viewpoints and try to discover correlating revelations and synchronistic information in hopes of intuitively drawing our own individual opinions. Perhaps that could even be one of 2012’s lessons.
Galactic Synchronization
The founder of Earth Day in 1970, and the initiator of the Harmonic Convergence in1987, Jose’ Arguelles takes a more metaphysical position on the Maya and their calendar than the majority of researchers. He feels the Earth and its inhabitants are traveling through a “ Galactic Synchronization Beam”, which may be triggering and ushering in a new era of cosmic evolution. He says we entered this beam in 3114 B.C. and will exit it in 2012, coinciding with the Mayan calendar.
Jose’s lifetime of research, beginning when he was 14, has revealed some ‘ out of this world’ conclusions. He feels the Maya, or possibly their consciousness, may not have originated on this planet, in essence referring to them as “ Galactic Surfers”, and some of the more special figures as “ Galactic Masters”. The purpose of the descent of the Maya (in one form or another), to planet Earth would have been rather specific according to Jose’;” to leave behind a definite set of clues and information about the nature and purpose of our planet at this particular time in the solar system and in the galactic field.” He also feels that not only is the calendar measuring time, but also possibly the Earth’s passage through the “Galactic Beam”, which may be 5125 years wide. Regarding Earths present location in the beam (about to exit) and the implications he says we have reached our saturation point which could be interpreted as “ saturation of technology in the world”, and,” The path beyond technology is an absolute necessary path for us to take.” He speculates that through humanities depletion of resources, our current technological binge, and the pollution of the Earth we have created an imbalance and, “We must wake up if we wish to continue enjoying our planet.” Postulating on how this is possible Arguelles says, ”From the view of the code, being awake means opening up our receivers. This can only be done by having a genuine change of heart; a change of heart about what is happening in our lives, and what is happening on our planet, and relaying that if we are to continue we must open up our receivers so that we can begin to receive the information and know what to do.”
Cosmogenesis 2012
The Diety Nine Wind traveling on a serpent rope: John Major Jenkins; Maya Cosmogenisis 2012
John Major Jenkins has had his boots on the ground in and around the Mayan ruins for years. He was one of the first researchers to draw attention to the fact that the Mayan calendar “End Date” corresponds with our planet’s galactic alignment. He also shows in his research that not only will our Earth and Sun align with the galactic center around the 2012 date, but we will also be completing an almost 26,000 year procession cycle. After extensive research he feels certain the Maya believe the world will “end” in 2012 A.D. But the “end” and its implications can be inferred both in a metaphorical and literal sense.
Metaphorically speaking he says,” The Maya believed that in the year we call 2012, a large chapter in human history will be coming to an end. All the values and assumptions of the previous World Age will expire, and a new phase of human growth will commence. Ultimately, I believe the Maya understood this to be a natural process, in which new life follows a death. We all experience the cycles of death and rebirth in our own lives. Our most difficult experience of suffering and loss are ultimately our best teachers. Imagine this principle taking effect on the level of the entire human race.” His literal interpretation is that the Earth and humanity may indeed be faced with climactic events, originating either here on Earth, or the depths of space, or possibly both. John has taken both the metaphorical and literal interpretations and tried to make sense of them and now believes,” The ancient Maya understood something about the nature of the cosmos and the spiritual evolution of humanity that has gone unrecognized in our own worldview. This understanding involves our alignment with the center of the galaxy, our cosmic center and source, and identified A.D. 2012 as a time of tremendous transformation and opportunity for spiritual growth, a transition from one World Age to another.”
On a personal note, one of the more intriguing aspects of Jenkins work is in regard to Sky Clefts, and Serpent Ropes. He says that “ the hole” portrayed in Mayan mythology is portrayed in Mesoamerican art as a creation place, It is also called a “ Sky Cleft”, and was considered to be a portal to another world. This area was believed to be located at the highest point in the sky in the center of the cosmic crossroads. In terms of actual astronomy, we are speaking of the area of the dark rift near the Milky Way and ecliptic crossroads. The Maya concept of birthing then involved deites who descended along serpent ropes that emerged from the sky cleft. John Jenkins extrapolates on this possibility and compares these ancient depictions of sky clefts and serpent ropes to modern day physics’ descriptions of wormholes, black holes, and a possible relation to the galactic center. He says,” These sky conduits are portals to other realms through which deities are “birthed” and descend to Earth on serpent ropes, bringing with them otherworldly knowledge.”
Whether the Mayan belief in the use of serpent ropes was left as a metaphorical message or a literal one is yet to be seen, but in regard to serpent ropes resembling modern day wormholes or possibly even “ stargates”, there are others who agree.
Investigative Mythologist
Art: Dana Augustine/William Henry
Investigative Mythologist William Henry also believes the Mayan Imagery of serpent ropes, and ladders descending from the heavens, may indeed portray what a modern day physicist would describe as a wormhole . Based on the comparison of both myth and art portraying ancient gods, William proposes that the gods are being portrayed as having the capabilities of traversing the stars via wormholes and/or star gates. Both William and physicists agree, that to physically traverse these wormholes would take unimaginable amounts of energy. But William has inferred that this may not be exactly what the ancients were trying to portray. He thinks that it may be our “ Light Bodies” that may be part of the key to unlocking the wormhole and star gate technologies, and if we can’t physically traverse them, perhaps our souls can. We may wish to prepare our light bodies, or our rainbow bodies, prior to these culminating times in hopes of having the experience and opportunity to all become “Starwalkers” and traverse the “ The Dimension of the Blessed”.
Does all this sound impossible? Well, according to William,” we are living during the greatest spiritual moment of all time. A time when the impossible becomes possible.” And in regard to 2012,” We are in the 2012 time now. Its more like a gateway or window of time. If you look all around there’s a tremendous transformation happening on all levels - mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, societal changes and people are even forecasting cataclysmic Earth changes.
There is no question we are at a pivitol time here, and each of us are now called to action to be our own best and reach for the highest we possibly can." In essence we must "Imagine it, believe it, live it"!
http://www.williamhenry.net/ Transformation of Consiousness
n Carl Johan Calleman's ground breaking book: The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness, he proposes that the purpose behind the Mayan Calendar may have been to take the acceleration of both evolution and time up until just a slightly different date of 10-28-2011. Callemman says the Maya beliefs relate that there were nine levels of consciousness that must be transcended, each represented by one of nine Underworlds. Each Underworld not only represented an increased level of consciousness but also the speeding up, or acceleration of time.
To help describe the Underworlds Calleman compares them to a nine-story Mayan pyramid in the sense that, ”Consciousness is created in a hierarchal way and that each Underworld stands on the foundation of another” And,” In this hierarchal structure, the different frames of consciousness do not replace each other, nor do they follow one another. Instead they add to each other, so that the creation of all Underworlds, and thus the climb of the nine story cosmic pyramid, will be completed at the same time: October 28th 2011 in the Gregorian calendar.” What does he think the Maya were trying to convey in the current Universal Ninth Underworld? He says,” The Universal Underworld in 2011 is what all of creation has been waiting for: its very purpose. It is when all things are brought together and the conflicting ways of being, acting, and thinking, will be resolved and unified in a light that makes it possible for everyone to understand everyone and everything at once. All limiting thoughts will disappear. The Ninth Underworld may be seen as a gift from God, since it is not only about creating balance , but also about the enlightenment given to humankind as an expression of divine grace. This is when we will fully understand the purpose of the cosmic plan, and we will overflow with gratitude to the creator. At the same time, we will recognize our own divinity, for there will be no separation between the divinity of the Creator and our own.”
Looking at2012through the eyes of several different researchers we can see the obvious similarities and differences in their theories. The differences have created skepticism in some as they did in me, originally. But what if current technologies began to predict climactic scenarios for precisely the same time frames? There are several technological oracles who have done just that .
Time Wave Zero
In the early 70’s Terrence and brother Dennis McKenna were exploring consciousness through the use of psychedelic drugs. While studying the ancient Chinese I-Ching in an altered state of mind they inadvertently discovered a previously unrecognized pattern. The late Terrance McKenna described what he saw as a mathematical algorithm,” That obviously wanted to be a calendar, and when I looked at it as a calendar, I saw that it showed the ebb and flow of change in history.” With this revelation in mind they developed computer software that could help map the ebb and flow both into the past and into the future.
The Time Wave Zero software, by plotting the calendar on graphs, were able to chart and accurately pinpoint, major historical events, including of the fall of Rome, the discovery of the New World, World Wars, ect.ect. Why is all this relevant? On December 21st 2012 the time line dips off the chart. It wasn’t until later on that Terrence discovered this date coincided precisely with the Mayas “End Date”. With the wisdom gained from the I-Ching, the Time Wave-Zero software, and the Mayan calendar, he reflected on what this could all mean. He believed that time is both speeding up and compressing upon itself and that when the timeline dips off the chart it could be the ‘’ most significant time in human history.” He postulated that,” Around 2012 A.D. will be the entry of our species into hyperspace; it will appear to be the end of physical laws, accompanied by the release of mind into imagination.” There’s that word again, “Imagination”. He also concluded,” All of this will be boiled down into a kind of alchemical distillation of the historical experience that will be a doorway into the life of imagination.”5
Many have decided to disregard these conclusions mainly because of the “altered state” the brothers were in when the information was obtained. But lets remember this is how shamans helped sustain their cultures and villages for thousands of years. And we need to be mindful of the accuracy the software has shown in mapping out the past. Time Wave-Zero wouldn’t be the last computer program to point toward 2012 as a time of change, Another program , The Web-Bot, has done the same
Web –Bot
A type of oracle machine was developed in the early 90’s that far surpassed its original expectations. The Web-Bot project was developed with the expectations of predicting stock futures. The program was developed using independent mini programs known as spiders, agents that are capable of browsing the web for financial news by scanning language. The concept is that large scans of language may reveal a glimpse into the future through humanity’s unconscious speech patterns. Those deciphering the language scans were surprised when words and phrases started emerging, making unforeseen predictions on events other than just stocks.
Cliff and George Ure are in charge of deciphering the language scans. George describes the Web-Bot saying,” Its almost a window into the Universal subconscious mind. “ Since the program started running it has a startling record of predictions including, 9-1-1, anthrax attacks, Sumatra Tsunami, Katrina, and even the economic collapse of 2008. These are but a few of its accurate predictions, but it is what the Web-Bot foresees around 2012 that is most startling! In 2010 the Web-Bot hints towards an Alien presence, possibly an invasion. George and Cliff postulate this could be referring either a “manufactured invasion” (as discussed previously), or possibly the real deal. They are unsure of which scenario the language is pointing to, but both of them think the program conveys that the Alien presence itself is real.
In regard to 2012 they say the language is tragically pointing toward the untimely deaths of possibly millions of people. They speculate that this occurrence could be caused by a convergence of issues in health care, climate change, and even unknown energies from space. In fact the language regarding 2012 hints at the possibility of both unprecedented solar events and a possible gamma ray burst. Just as with Time Wave-Zero, the future foreseen seems incomprehensible, but considering their uncanny accuracy in the past ,perhaps we should at minimum listen. Its not only the ancients, modern-day researchers, mystics, and technologies that have become focused on 2012. Some scientists have also joined that group.
Apocalypse 2012?- Scientist
We have seen predictions stemming from ancient societies around the world, which in conjunction with modern technologies, point toward an era of change in and around 2012. There is also a growing number of scientist pointing toward ecological happenings that could occur in the exact time frame. Here on the Earth plain they are postulating that we could have geological upheavals such as super volcano eruptions and even super quakes. And as for Mother Ocean, she is beginning to inundate coastlines as the polar ice caps continue to disintegrate. Several scientist have suggested and estimated that the poles may even be completely ice free by the summer months of….,you guessed it, 2012.
There are also occurrences taking place in space that we are being told to be mindful of. Threats in space include the expected peak in Sun’s solar activity in 2012, near asteroid misses, and a possible Gamma Burst. These scientific predictions sound startlingly close to those made by the oracle program Web-Bot.
Scientist Laurence E. Joseph recognized many of the similarities in the ancient prophecies and modern science in regard to 2012, and began research into the enigma. After much research and comparison of ancient myth and modern scientific outlooks he has come to this opinion,” My feeling is that 2012 will turn out to be some kind of comeuppance for high-tech society. We may be facing a battle with nature, while neither side has a monopoly on virtue. Mother Earth may well react negatively, if not necessarily consciously, to our intruding ourselves beyond our rightful sphere.. Escaping from the atmosphere, Earths outermost layer, is physically very difficult for spaceships; most of the rocket fuel is burned up breaking the barrier. So it stands to reason that escaping economically and culturally would also pose an extraordinary challenge. If the meta-message of 2012’s threat from above is to pay more attention and take better care of the Earth beneath our feet, then point well taken. We’ve spent centuries violating the common sense rules “ don’t shit where you eat”, and if it takes a world threatening cataclysm for us to change our ways, well, that’s what it takes.”
As the scientist are forecasting turbulent and even cataclysmic times for around 2012, the new age crowd is foreseeing an era of “ enlightenment”. So where does this leave us? Collectively and as individuals we have had our psyche’s filled with images of both destruction and transformations in regard to 2012. It now becomes necessary for us to sift through this information intuitively and begin to make our own choices, and chart our future actions accordingly. It is my personal opinion that we as humans are being given a participatory role in these so called prophesized outcomes. And with the realization of our co-creating roles, a shift in consciousness in humanity as a whole could occur, becoming one of the keys to opening the 2012 door and allowing us to cross the “Rainbow Bridge” to eternity. As incomprehensible as this transformation may sound to some, remember what Mr. Henry has said,” These are the times when the impossible becomes possible!”, and to become capable of making this happen we can,” Imagine it, Believe it, and Live it.”
