I said:
Whatever the Mayan calendar consisted of, the Mayan Prophecies book didn't do a great job of interpreting it. Essentially, they turned Mayan prophecy into a colour-by-numbers exercise, where numbers that looked a bit like other numbers suddenly became exactly equivalent. Disappointing.
Anyone expacting a major religious event in 2012 is shopping at the same store the 2000 millenialists stocked up at.
However, 2017...
This was something I received some time ago, but don't know the web site .... but in essence it says
"Carlos Barrios was born into a Spanish family on El Altiplano, the highlands of Guatemala. His home was in Huehuetenago, also the dwelling place of the Maya Mam tribe. .... they are the keepers of time (authorities on the mayan calendar" ... Mr. Barrios is a historian, an anthropologist and investigator. After studying with traditional elders for 25 years since the age of 19, he also became a Mayan Ajq'ij, a ceremonial priest and spiritual guide, Eagle Clan "
note: this background is important for the next part ....
"Anthropologist visit the temple sites" Mr. Barrios says, "and read the stelas and inscriptions and make up stories about the Maya, but they do not read the signs correctly. It's just their imagination. Other people write about prophecy in the name of Maya. They say that the world will end in December 2012. The Mayan elders ar angry at this. The world will not end. It will be transformed. The indigenous have the calendars and know how to accurately interpret it, not others."
"from that 1987 date until now, Mr. Barros say, we have been in a time when the right arm of the materialistic world is disapearing, slowly but inexorably. We are at the cusp of an era when peace begins and people live in harmony with mother earth. We are no longer in the world of the Fourth Sun, but we are not yet in the World of the Fifth Sun. This is the time in-between, the time of transition. All this was foreseen via the simple, spiral mathematics of the Mayan calendars. It will change, everything will change."
There is a web site called Beyond 2012, a Convergence of Eschatogocial Information .... worth the read if you have the time and inclination to go through many of the theories connected with the year 2012 .... a few highlights
"Timewave Zero; the fractal timewave system .... a complex computer analysis of the I Ching revedaled a hierarchy of 26 timewaves which govern the unfolding of events in the universe .... when converted into a single ractal wave, and mapped against history, the graph peaks in 2012."
"The Cherokee Calendar terminatews in 2012 .... see reference to changing agnetic field will alter the endocrine production of the pineal gland .... critical mass and brain function ...."
even the hawaiian chant predicts a 2nd great flood or wave, but in the year 2023 .... but it is a metaphor and not a prediction of the end of the world .... but another time of transformation ....
the concept of moving fromthe fourth world to the fifth is related, in my view, to the seven energy centers in the body .... four are below the neck and three are above .... when you begin to move into the head area, if we are in fact in transition between the two worlds, you should begin to vibrate at a higher frequency (you are now reaching the blues and purple colors in the spectrum of color which have a higher frequency than the lower colors of red etc.) but you must be able to reconnect the "severed head" (that symbol that we have been disconnected and unbalanced) .... when the whole system is reconnected, the time of transition should almost complete .... at least that is the theory (or is that my theory?) ....
the age of aquarius is part of the great cycle of the movement of the constellations as well as the ancient calendars .... what is most amazing is that it was all set in motion by a presence greater than us as individuals .... or are we in fact each a part of the process .I really don't like the scare tactics of those try to prophecize that the world is ending and every disaster is some sort of proof that this is occurring .... perhaps the world as we know it is ending, but what we can create is a place of great beauty in its place ...... he hawai'i au, pohaikawahine
