These entries on the Mayan Date of Destiny are devoted to the positive aspects of the December 12, 2012 date, which is the aspect I suggest you consider.I was recently in San Diego attending a special training with one of my sons.
One day we walked over to Balboa Park from his home, and stepped into the Museum of Man. There my curiosity was captured by the extraordinary displays of how cultures of peoples from all over the planet performed trephinations on living peoples’ skulls. I learned all about trephinations, and travelled back in my personal past to the days of assisting neurosurgeons in very advanced and lucrative trephinations.
Some of the more ancient trephinations were quite advanced, and some were not. The four types of trephination technique were scraping, grooving, drilling, and cutting. The drilling technique is most like modern day craniotomy technique. Peering inside of the human cranium is a fascination, as is the history of the evolution of brain research. Moving on…
I also spent some moments of fascination at the Mayan display, and I studied up on the Mayan system of cosmology. I have always enjoyed looking into the night skies to observe the Orion Constellation. It seems the Maya were also interested in Orion, albeit in a more advanced manner than my mere uninformed wonder. They still regard the M42 Nebula in the lower aspect of the Constellation as representative of the Fire in the Hearth of Creation.
This brings me to the subject matter of this entry, which is to advance some information on the December 12, 2012 end date of the Mayan Long Count Calendar. I shall quote liberally from a recent publication from Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), an association which I referenced in the first blog entry about study categories dealing with Life after Life. I like this writing from A.R.E. because I believe it is the correct perspective to adapt. We have to be the change we wish to see in the world. It is up to us.
I recommend that the Mayan Calendar Doom & Gloom spin that the fear mongering folk will promote and escalate in the coming months and years, be moved to the trash bin of your consciousness. You can be aware of it, but allow your discriminatory reasoning to move you through fear based propaganda to the higher message. Earth planet has been through many evolutionary growth rings.
Humans have lived on this planet for millions of years, as is definitively proven in archeological research which we don’t see from the sanitized mainstream press. Humanity’s history has trickled into our schooling and consciousness through institutionalized “knowledge filters” and all manner of suppression of real science. A good place to start to see this is in the text Forbidden Archeology: The Hidden History of the Human Race by Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson – First Edition 1993 – 914 pages. See http://www.forbiddenarcheology.com. Another informative text is Fingerprints of the Gods (1995) by Graham Hancock – 578 pages.
For some intriguing and tantalizing bits of evidence about the length of time the human race has inhabited Gaia, you can google the following terms: 1) “ica stones”- the ica stones are hundreds of carved and etched stones dug up near Ica, Peru, dating back 65 million years, depicting scenes of dinosaurs eating people, dinosaurs eating each other, surgeries, astronomers, maps of the world, etc. 2) “grooved spheres” – these are hundreds of grooved metallic spheres about 1 inch in diameter dug up in South Africa in the 1980’s found to be 2.8 billion years old. Michael Cremo writes about these intriguing little spheres in his book referenced above. 3) “Meister sandal track” – William J. Meister, an amateur fossil collector, in June 1968, found a 600 million year old fossil of a human sandal stepping on an ancient trilobite in Utah. 4) “Ed Conrad” – petrified human bones and organs found by this researcher between veins of anthracite coal deposited in the Carboniferous Era in Pennsylvania about 280 million years ago.
I also refer you to Mark Macy’s blog http://macyafterlife.blogdrive.com and note his July 18, 2009 blog entry. You can also go to his AfterLife clip on YouTube which he references in this blog entry. (The last blog entry posted on Crestone and Beyond is entirely devoted to Mark’s work.)
And so…..how long have human beings been on Gaia? How many cycles of evolution, growth, change, and rebirth have we been through since Gaia took form?
Let’s start off with a peek at a beautiful 6 minute video clip to warm us up . The images you will see in this video are real, and so open your mind. A few comments are in order. As the bumper sticker goes, “The mind is like a parachute- it only works when it’s open.” We shall follow on that message with Albert Einstein’s well known quotation, “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind (consciousness) that created it.” And now it’s a moment for a little editorial spin…….
This quotation reminds me of what the current Obama administration is doing in terms of its continuation of the Bush policy makers’ escalation of Anglo-American imperialistic hegemony around the globe. I recently heard our President on a news broadcast speaking a rhetoric of invading Iran. He is also being advised/misled by the same economic “minds” that helped deepen our economic woes during the last administration.
Alas, the hopeful images you will see of President Obama in the upcoming clip have now been replaced by the Obama who many believe is being controlled by the status quo military industrial complex and the petro oligarchy and the bankers (think Rockefeller et al). Can he find his way beyond these controlling influences? Can he try to remove himself from these tyrants? Can he reconcile America’s worsening bankruptcy with its escalating militaristic imperialism? See what you can discern about our future from the images in this beautiful video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HC38xupAaY.
Very well, how are you doing? You might save that video, and look at it from time to time. See if you can open to the vastness of our human history, and consider the longevity of our presence on Gaia as more than the reigning Darwinian evolutionary story, or the fundamentalist notion that we popped up a few thousand years ago from Adam and Eve who conveniently popped up after God orchestrated some creations in a mere 6 days before taking a time out on day 7. What is a “day” in the Mind of God? Is it like–24 hours? And then we have THE BIG BANG THEORY. Is Creation like-an orgasm?
The thinking human mind is too limited an instrument to figure out anything more developed and expressed than that of its own anthropomorphic making. What would we know about the great Mysteries if we could cease thinking long enough to allow Spirit to inform our consciousness? We have too much energy tied up in thoughts and emotional constructs to allow Spirit to fully speak its Truth.
OK, here is the viewpoint on the Mayan Date of Destiny, endorsed by Crestone and Beyond, and written by Edgar Cayce’s people:
“According to the Mayan calendar, the beginning of our present age occurred on August 11, 3114 B.C.E. This is called the Age of Movement or Change. (I saw this date referenced in the Museum of Man.) Texts associated with Mayan creation monuments (large obelisk like structures, duplicated in the Museum of Man) report that Creation happens at the Black Hole, at the Crossroads, and the Image will appear in the sky. For the Maya, the rising, passing, and descending of the Milky Way in the sky marked major points in the cycle of time, and the changes in its position and shape reveal our origin, passage, and destiny. ”
“Using a complex system of Mayan baktuns (measurements of time), we can calculate when their calendar reaches a new zero point. This happens every 13 baktuns, or about every 5125 years. December 21, 2012, signals the end of the Age of Movement and the commencement of a new Earth Age. For the Maya, the end of an age marks the beginning of the next cycle of rebirth, renewal, and resurrection to even higher levels of enlightenment and understanding.”
“There are no specific markings or statements about the year 2012 on the archaeological artifacts at Izapa, but there are numerous images that portray a rare celestial alignment that appears in the skies in the years around 2012. Souls on Earth experience a change of galactic seasons, a celestial time-cycle shift, with our Sun moving into rebirth at the Black Hole at the celestial base of the tree of Life (a location in the great Milky Way).”
“Some say that 2012 marks the end of the world, but many more say that it is a new beginning. Nostradamus wrote that he sees to the year 3797! The biblical Revelation sees a time when all evil will be banned from the world and that period will last for a thousand years! Though the Mayan and Aztec artifacts do not tell of a time beyond the Age of Movement, their ancestors carry a tale of more ages to follow the Age of Movement. They are the ‘Age of the Spirit of All Living Things,’ followed by the ‘Age of the Return to Oneness,’ indicating that there is much left to do and much soul growth to realize and make our own.”
“When asked what the New Age means to humanity, Edgar Cayce replied, ‘the full consciousness of the ability to communicate with or be aware of the relationships to the creative Forces and the uses of same in material environs. This awareness during the era or age of Atlantis and Lemuria (or Mu) brought what? Destruction to man, and his beginning of the needs of the journey up through that of selfishness.’
“Is 2012 the beginning of the fulfillment of these wonderful prophecies of Izapa, Maya, Aztec’s, Edgar Cayce and Revelation? Or is it just another step on the long journey toward such fulfillment? The answer depends on us. How many of us catch the vision and raise our vibration and consciousness to contribute to a truly New Age of Enlightenment will determine what occurs in January 2013.”
The above was all reprinted from a recent A.R.E. newsletter, John Van Auken, editor. This article is quite simplistic, and is appropriately optimistically worded. Do we have any other types of studies from the world literature which we can refer to from an intellectual and scientific viewpoint which may elucidate the end date of the Mayan Long Count Calendar?
Yes, we do. There are some important articles out there. Furthermore, what do the current day Mayan elders have to say on this subject? I would think they might share some insight.
Stay tuned for The Mayan Date of Destiny, Part II.
