Q&A: So…what do you think the significance of the Mayan calendar’s ending in the year 2012?

Question by ashleescoolmom: So…what do you think the significance of the Mayan calendar’s ending in the year 2012?
I’ve read all sorts of supposed reasons for the ending of the Mayan calendar at 2012. Some think it’s an armegeddon sort of thing while others look at it to be a new beginning in a much Lighter way. It may be something in between or perhaps, has no significance whatsoever. What are your thoughts about it?

    I have one of the 13 crystal skulls so if you want the world to continue past 2012, stop asking about it or I will not let the skull reunite with the other 12.

    The thing about the calender is that its like god is telling us when its time for the earth to die:

    The date December 21st, 2012 A.D. (13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count), represents an extremely close conjunction of the Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator (Equator of the Milky Way) and the Ecliptic (path of the Sun), what that ancient Maya recognized as the Sacred Tree. This is an event that has been coming to
    resonance very slowly over thousands and thousands of years. It will come to resolution at exactly 11:11 am GMT.

    The Tzolkin is a 260-day calendar based around the period of human gestation. It is composed of 20 day-signs, each of which has 13 variations, and was (and still is) used to determine character traits and time harmonics, in a similar way to Western astrology. The Maya also used a 365-day calendar called the Haab, and a Venus calendar, plus others. They measured long time periods by means of a Long Count, in which one 360-day year (a “Tun”), consists of 18 x 20-day “months” (“Uinals”). Twenty of these Tuns is a Katun; 20 Katuns is a Baktun (nearly 400 years); and 13 Baktuns adds up to a “Great Cycle” of 1,872,000 days, ( 5200 Tuns, or about 5125 years).

    Jose Arguelles has pointed out that the Tzolkin is a harmonic of the Great Cycle, and can be used to map history, as if it is measuring not individual gestation but species gestation, since 5 Great Cycles add to exactly 26,000 Tuns; the “Grand Year” or precession of the equinoxes – a higher harmonic of 260.

    Basiclly they’ve realized that because of man kind the earth will fall (its a giant over dose when it comes to Global Warming). So its determined that soon the world will wall and man kind (the cause) is coming with it.

    I’ve heard the same theories you have, I’m sure, but I have to say, I don’t believe them. My opinion is that nothing will happen, other than an “extension” of the calendar. The calendar ends in 2012, indicating the end of a cycle. What does a cycle do? It repeats itself, allowing different outcomes of course, but repeating itself nonetheless. You can look at it marking the end of an era, or the start of a new one. Really it’s both, but most people tend to look at one or the other. Remeber the Y2K? People were CONVINCED that we would have a technological melt down. But yet, look at how we’re able to communicate today. I’ll see you in 2013.

    The following cycles seem the most relevant to what may occur in 2012. There is the 25,625 year “Galactic Day” and the 5,125 year “Long Count”(Great Cycle). Both of these are set to end and restart on the Winter Solstice of 2012 (11:00 UST Dec. 21, 2012): That is unless that 2012 Mayan Prophecy comes true (I’ll get back to that later).

    Let’s start with the “Galactic Day”. As we travel around the Milky Way galaxy, it is my understanding that we do not remain at a constant distance nor at the same orientation in relation to the black hole at its center; a black hole the Maya refer to as the supreme creator, “HUNAB KU”. Instead, we move in and away from this black hole. As we move in we simultaneously align to the Milky Way’s equator or “The Tree of Life” as the Maya call it. In the years that we are furthest away, we become dense low vibrating energy and experience our dark spiritual years: These years are part of the “Galactic Night”. In the years that we move closer, we become higher vibrating energy and spiritually enlightened beings: These years pertain to the “Galactic Day”. We are currently in transition from Night to Day. The complete cycle takes 25,625 years; approximately the same as what modern science has calculated and named “The Precession Of The Equinox Cycle”.

    The “Long Count” evenly divides the “Galactic Day” into five equal parts (25,625 years / 5 = 5,125 years). It is my understanding that this cycle also coincides with a natural rhythmic beat that is derived from the black hole at the center of the galaxy in the form of an energy pulse. This energy pulse presumably has multiple effects on us and our surroundings. It not only helps us to become enlightened beings for twenty years, but reeks havoc on Earth by creating larger solar flares which can bring famine, increased earthquakes and volcanic activity, tsunamis, and sometimes even a pole shift. Twenty years prior to this event, in a period the Maya refer to as “The Time of No-Time”, mild energy spurts, from “HUNAB KU”, create a shift in consciousness; from left-brain thinking to right-brain thinking (from logical to intuitive). This shift can be experienced all at once or gradually at first moving exponentially as we approach the end of the cycle.

    There is one last Mayan calendar I could share with you called “The Nine Underworlds”. It is one of the more recently rediscovered calendars and may be the most important one. It is a calendar that has recorded the state of consciousness from the beginning of time (The Big Bang) to Dec. 21, 2012; At which time we will have supposedly consciously evolved to completeness to become co-creators with “HUNAB-KU”: It maps out “creation” if you will. No one knows for sure what to expect since it is the first time anyone will have experienced this since the beginning of time. It is much too involved for me to go into, but I found a video that covers it pretty well; albeit kind of long.

  5. Eleanor says:

    i think they predicted it because at the time they made the calendar they were at their greatest so they made the calendar depending on when they thought the last mayan would die

  6. 32 characters says:

    Even if you believe in God and are a Christian, it should be noted that the Mayans were a very enhanced civilization capable of many inventions and philosophies. So far, their calendar has been extraordinarily accurate and therefore I predict the end of it will result in a new world. No one exactly knows what will happen. I do not believe it is the END of the world. But I do believe it will mark the end of the world as we know it. A new revelation will ensue. Although a catastrophe is very well possible, what with the Yellowstone supervolcano and global warming, the human race can and will rise above. The world will change for the better.

  7. Terry says:

    All the theories and I have yet to read the simplest and most logical. 2012 is the year the last full-blooded Mayan dies.

  8. Peace Crusader says:

    Do not be scared. I assure you that the world will not end on 2012 December 21 but it will end one day. Nostradamus’ prediction of when the earth will end is far into the future, past about 3700. He still has many prophecies that are not fulfilled yet. Remember that if there is a beginning, there is an end.

    The Mayan’s Mesoamerican Long Count calendar forms the basis for a New Age belief, first forecast by Jose Arguelles, that a cataclysm will take place on or about 2012 December 21 (Wikipedia). It will be the end of a Mayan calendar cycle to start a new cycle.

    In the book of Revelation, it tells us about a period of a thousand years of peace. Has this occurred already since the time of Jesus? Not yet. That will still come. Those that give predictions of the world’s end, such as 2012 and numerous times during the past, are pseudo-preachers. Have they talked to God directly? If so, give proofs.

    But there is something that is certain—and that is our physical death. This is what we should prepare for. It may come when least expected. We do not know the day and the hour. It will come like a thief in the night. So we just have to be prepared all the time. Search for the true God and when we find Him, follow His commandments and remain in Him until our last dying breath.

    This is all that we have to do. It is faith in the true God that we can take with us when we depart from this world. If we denied Him, He will deny us also before the Father in Heaven and send us to Hell. This is very scary – to live in Hell forever. If we knew Him and loved Him and followed His commandments, then He may reward us to live with Him eternally in His kingdom in Heaven. This is the survival kit that we should have.

    What is also certain to happen very soon (in about 2012 or earlier) is World War III and this is a nuclear war. This calamitous war will start from the Philippines, at Spratly Islands in particular. The Spratly Islands lie on the South China Sea mostly near the coast of the Philippines. The Holy Spirit told us that the troubles in the Philippines is like the wick of a lamp. Once the wick is lit, it will be on and aglow. He told us about this prophecy more than a decade ago. Please read what is happening in the Philippines now. Spratly Islands which is being claimed wholly or partly by six countries including China is in the news and considered a tinderbox, a flash point. It is very rich in oil and gas resources, more than the reserve of Kuwait. The high price of oil may trigger the grabbing of these islands and start the war.

    Four independent prophecies point to the certainty that this will happen. These are Nostradamus’ prophecies to happen around this time (quatrains 6:24 and 2:62) , the 56th Chinese prophecy of Tuey Bei Tu (the past 55 prophecies have already been fulfilled), Revelation 9:18 of the Holy Bible, and those that the Holy Spirit revealed to us. If you are interested in the details about these prophecies, please send me your request via email.
