    Mayan Calender"Both the Hopis and Mayans recognize that we are approaching theend of a World Age... In both cases, however, the Hopi and Mayan elders do not

    choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance

    or acceptancewill determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic

    changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same theme can be found reflected in

    Cusp Of Great Cycle

    We are living today in the cusp of the Mayan end times, the end of a galactic day or timeperiod spanning thousands of years. One galactic day of 25,625 years is divided into fivecycles of 5,125 years.

    The Great Cycle of the Mayan Long Count calendar ends on the winter solstice of 2012A.D. Following Mayan concepts of cyclic time and World Age transitions, this is as

    much about beginnings as endings. In fact, it was considered by the ancient Mayans to

    signify the creation of a new World Age. We are almost at the end of the fifth and final

    5,125 year cycle!

    Why is everyone talking about the year 2012?

    The Solstice on December 21, 2012 ~ precisely at 11:11 AM Universal Time ~ marks thecompletion of the 5,125 year Great Cycle of the Ancient Maya Long Count Calendar.

    Rather than being a linear end-point, this cycle that is closing is naturally followed by the

    start of a new cycle. What this new cycle has in store for humanity is a mystery that hasyet to unfold...

    2012 is also considered the completion of the 26,000 year Precession of the Equinoxes

    cycle, and some say it also signifies the end of a 104,000 year cycle.

    The recent "2012" movie serves to alert a targeted 140 million people, in case they too

    haven't already heard the news. Unfortunately, however, the movie does a dis-service

    because it distorts the message of this ancient prophecy by associating it with fear anddestruction, as depicted by the movie's global disaster scenario, rather than the themes of

    transformation and renewal the prophecy is actually based in.

    The 2012 date indeed marks the completion of this World Age Cycle. Rather than

    something to fear, we can understand the 2012 prophecy as signalling us that we need to

    awaken and realize that these times on Earth are auspicious; we are living in land-mark

    times in the history of our planet. We are collectively in a cross-roads moment that iscalling out to us to participate in our fullest capacity. We are each being summoned to

    bring our inspiration and empowerment to the fore, as we must all take our places in

    transforming our human culture to be one of Harmony - with ourselves, with each other

    and with all of Nature.

    Together we are in a great initiation process, living in times of unprecedented challenge,transformation and opportunity. This planetary moment has never existed before as it

    does right now. Our human population is climbing off the charts, accelerating by the day,

    as is our environmental crises and the vast whole-system struggles of peoples worldwide,

    both physically and spiritually. The old world mentality, founded in separation, greed,ignorance, and unconscious consumer materialism, has reached dangerous peaks.

    Simultaneously, there has never been so much possibility at our fingertips as there is right

    now. A new paradigm is trying to emerge in our world, through our hearts and minds,like a flower trying to grow through the cracks in the cement sidewalk. New

    comprehensions and new solutions are emerging in our collective journey - from new

    sciences, to new economic models, new healing modalities, new energy technologies,new educational models, new forms of conflict resolution, etc. These times of crisis are

    unifying us and catalyzing us to awaken to our personal and collective responsibilities in

    this one planetary equation.

    As we perceive the 2012 completion date as a reminder to us from the Ancients that right

    here and now we are living in precious times, we can realize how critical it is that we

    align together in respect for life, becoming more and more conscious of how ourintentions and actions affect the Whole. This is an important theme of this prophecy:

    Becoming Conscious of All that has been Unconscious. It is time to see and know and

    become aware of how we can participate directly in this great transformation process,inside of ourselves and in our shared world, from the energies we transmit through our

    feelings and intentions, to the details of our lifestyle choices.

    The New Cycle that is to emerge is founded on us awakening to the beauty and

    responsibility of our interconnectedness. Every one of us has a piece in this cosmic

    puzzle, and we must help each other find our heart's guidance in these mysterious times.

    As we recognize we are in a Global Healing Crisis, we can shake off the wounded victim

    mentality, and arise as Medicine Warriors, here to do the necessary work to help lay the

    ground for a New Era to root, conscious of our obligations to future generations.

    Carlos Barrios, who was trained as an Ajq'ij in the Maya tradition, has this to share in

    regards to 2012:

    "Our planet can be renewed or ravaged. Now is the time to awaken and take action...The

    prophesized changes are going to happen, but our attitude and actions determine howharsh or mild they are.

    "This is a crucially important moment for humanity and for earth. Each person isimportant. If you have incarnated into this era, you have spiritual work to do balancing

    the planet...The greatest wisdom is in simplicity. Love, respect, tolerance, sharing,

    gratitude, forgiveness. It's not complex or elaborate. The real knowledge is free. It's

    encoded in your DNA. All you need is within you. Great teachers have said that from thebeginning. Find your heart, and you will find your way."

    Map of Mayan Civilization centresIs 2012 going to be the "End of The World?"

    No, not in terms of the complete destruction of the Earth and some kind of annihilation

    scenario. 2012 is not bringing the end of the planet.

    When we contemplate the expression "end of the world" let us realize the term "world"

    can refer to a cycle; a period of time; a world age era. Therefore 2012 is signalling the

    completion of one World Age Cycle, transitting into an emerging New World Age tocome.

    It is said that the world we are ending is the one that is dominated by materialism and egoconsciousness, therefore it may be that the world to follow will be founded on different

    values that honor the spirit of the interdependence of all of life.

    There are ideas in the collective mind that assert that 2012 is bringing the "end of the

    http://adishakti.org/images_foreign/mayamap_L.gif

    world as we know it," which may be linked with its other association of heralding "the

    end of linear time," and no one can say how valid these claims may be. However, based

    on the complex situation we are in as a planet, no one can predict the longevity of ourmodern world with all of its technological dependencies and unsustainable customs.

    Likewise, the more conscious we become of the non-linear, synchronistic nature of

    existence, the more rapidly we may indeed evolve beyond the linear time paradigm.

    In regards to the ever-increasing attention on the December 21, 2012 date, the living

    Maya of Guatemala urgently want it to be known that their ancient prophecies have beendistorted and misportrayed as doomsday predictions. They do not advocate all the fear

    and hysteria that is being generated by the sensationalized 2012 rumors, and they want

    people to be aware that most of the 2012 (mis)information being put out is not sourced

    from the Maya or their calendars whatsoever, even though it may appear to be associatedwith them.

    In regards to the popular fascination with the possible "end of the world" cataclysm

    scenario in 2012, it is important to understand that these modern fantasies projected fromour collective psyche are reflecting our internal process of fearing how out of harmony

    with nature we are collectively living. There is a sense of an impending retaliation fromnature that will come, as a great punishment upon our misguided human world.

    While it is clear we are living in times of great uncertainty and great imbalance, we need

    to realize that terrorizing ourselves by energizing fear-based rumors does not assist us inrising to the great challenges we face. Fear is a primal universal human reality, based on

    understanding how vulnerable we actually are, yet we need to understand that if we

    believe in all the fear thoughts, we can easily become shut down, delusional orreactionary in ways that feed the fear and lead us further into darkness.

    In this time of prophecy, we need to move from motivating ourselves not from fear, butfrom awareness. To navigate these critical times on earth, in addition to our discernment

    and our intuition, we must find our hearts and follow their inspiration, for they are our

    purest guides and can help us tune into our unique path of service.

    When we contemplate what the world might be like beyond 2012, let us be clear that no

    one can predict the specifics of how things may appear as we enter this new cycle, or

    whether the transformations still to come may emerge gradually or swiftly. Everythingdepends on how conscious we can become as a species, and how we all contribute to this

    process of awakening our human potential. The details of how this new era may actually

    manifest is up to the merits of our collective creativity and the possible breakthroughswhich can unfold through our resourcefulness and ingenuity.

    Carlos Barrios, from the Eagle Clan of the Mam Maya of Guatemala shares in regards to2012:

    "The world will not end. It will be transformed... Everything will change...Change is

    accelerating now, and it will continue to accelerate...If the people of the earth can get to

    What have the Hopis, Mayans, and other Native American peoples forseen?

    Mayan Wheel crop circle August 2004 (Photo by Lucy Pringle)

    Both the Hopis and Mayans recognize that we are approaching the end of a World Age...

    In both cases, however, the Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will

    come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. Themessage they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our

    moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition

    will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same themecan be found reflected in the prophecies of many other Native American visionaries from

    Black Elk to Sun Bear.

    This concept that we can make choices concerning our future destinies is one found not

    only in Native American prophecies but is really an essential ingredient in all trueprophetic pronouncements. True prophecy is meant to be a reflection on the hidden

    natures and motivations of human behavior, both individually and collectively, as well as

    the future options based on the human ability to make a choice. True prophecy is thus

    more than merely a forecast. Its purpose is to provide the lesson that is to be learned froma potential future prognostication so that, if possible, the lesson is accepted and processed

    beforehand. Thus the course of the future can actually be changed, and a different

    pathway of prophesied events can be manifested into reality.

    In this context, the period of time between now and the year 2012, with 2000 as thebenchmark, appears to be shaping up into a decisive time period when important choices

    will be made and when any number of timelines for the future are possible. True

    prophecy is our guide to determine what those different timelines are and how we canmake the right choices.

    Aligning With the Spirit of the Maya Calendar End-Date 2012

    by Dwayne Edward Rourke

    January 1, 2000

    A great turning of the Gregorian calendar wheel has brought us to the threshold of a new

    millennium. Throughout the planet, people are filled with the sort of expectancy,excitement and anxiety such a threshold evokes. However, if any of us are looking to the

    calendar itself for guidance as to how to align with the spirit of this new time, we will

    likely be disappointed. Very little is provided there, other than a rather utilitariansegmentation of time into years, months and days. In contrast, the workings of a sacred

    calendar such as that found throughout Mesoamerica and especially in those areas

    inhabited by traditional Mayan people, provide a wealth of symbolism able to empowerits adherents with insight and energy.

    Clearly, all calendars throughout the world are arbitrary man-made constructions.

    Generally, they are based on alignment with particular celestial phenomena such as the

    solar or lunar year. Mayan calendars are no exception and currently the Mayan calendartradition calls attention to the day we call December 21 , 2012. The Maya have been

    aware for hundreds of years that on that Winter solstice day, a unique astronomical event

    will occur: a very rare conjunction of the Sun with the ecliptic of the Milky Waygalaxy....

    In the direction EAST, universally acknowledged as the place of new beginnings, the

    Maya place the hieroglyph CHICCHAN (pronunciation: cheek'chan). CHICCHAN is the

    serpent mind, the mind that is constantly renewed and regenerated, through a process ofshedding what no longer serves us. The physical body itself can be seen as an

    evolutionary skin periodically released, as one life ends and another begins. It is a body

    fueled ultimately by a form of solar energy the Maya call kultunlilni. Kultunlilni is thevital life force empowering all human growth and development. This crucial life-force is

    the same as what is known in Hindu cosmology as the serpent power: kundalini.

    Kundalini is the great evolutionary force making of each body and its occupant, a

    potentially powerful source of solar wisdom. Important for us to remember, however, isthat this primary, very intimate and very powerful source of wisdom is only accessible to

    the extent that we are able to hear what our bodies, as carriers of its sacred gift, are

    actually telling us. Inevitably in this process, we turn to those with whom we feel a strong

    attraction or affinity. "

    Temple of Kukulkan

    Temple of Kukulkan (Serpent)

    "Quetzalcoatl taught the ancients all the necessary skills to advance their civilization,

    from mathematics and science to agriculture and astronomy, as well as the famous Mayan

    calendrical formulae which predicts the end of the world to be December 21st 2012. Hetaught the people to live in peace and then moved on disappearing across the sea, but he

    promised he would someday return. Unfortunately for the ancient inhabitants of Mexico

    they mistook the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors and Cortez in 1519 asQuetzalcaotl's return, bringing about their tragic doom. Accepting them with open arms

    and treating them with utmost reverence the ancient people expected their newly arrived

    god to bestow great benevolence upon them. Instead the Spanish invaders brought

    nothing but greed and brutality for their trusting hosts.

    The name Quetzalcoatl (ket-tsul'kwot-ul) means "plumed or feathered serpent". We must

    certainly then mention the great ancient city of Chichen Itza on Yucatan peninsula inMexico. There, twice a year, an amazing spectacle related to the feathered serpent god

    takes place:

    "The Temple of Kukulkan (the Feathered Serpent God, also known as Quetzalcoatl) isthe largest and most important ceremonial structure at Chichen Itza. This ninety-foot tall

    pyramid was built during the eleventh to thirteenth centuries directly upon the multiple

    foundations of previous temples. The pyramid is a store-house of information on theMayan calendar. ... The northern stairway was the principal sacred path leading to the

    summit. At sunset on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, an interplay between the sun's

    light and the edges of the stepped terraces on the pyramid creates a fascinating - and verybrief - shadow display upon the sides of the northern stairway. A serrated line of seven

    interlocking triangles (chakras) gives the impression of a long tail leading downward to

    the stone head of the serpent Kukulkan (Kundalini), at the base of the stairway." (LindaCasselman)

    So then, on these two very important dates, the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, it appearsthat Quetzalcoatl is indeed present among his people as the shadow of the serpent moves

    along the steps of the Pyramid of Kulkulkan.

    "This Power is placed in the triangular bone which is called as sacrum, which means

    Greeks knew about this centre. They very well knew about it, thats why they called itsacred, sacrum. In many countries there has been a manifestation that they know about

    this particular Power.

    I happened to go to Colombia where I collected an authentic antique copy of the antiquenecklace. The necklace had at its bottom a Kundalini and even the earrings had the

    Kundalini, but, surprisingly, it was from the Indians of America, though it is now kept in

    the museum in Colombia. It was in America that people knew about Kundalini, definitelyabsolutely in three and a half coil they had done this pattern very well. Is very surprising

    that it was done even before Columbus came here."

    reminiscent of the Kundalini lying dormant in the sacrum. In its mouth appears an egg,

    symbol of the potential actualization of Second Birth.

    Is it possible, then, that the ancient Native American Peoples were worshiping the Divine

    Feminine and were deeply aware of the symbolic, spiritual significance of the Serpent

    Power and the Primordial Egg?

    Although scholars are uncertain as to the precise significance of this Great Serpent

    Mound, it is, however, highly likely that this site was revered by American Indians as thesacred representation of Kundalini awakening (Second Birth).

    Other sources offer added information on the Great Serpent Mound:

    "The Great Serpent Mound, in Adams County, Ohio, USA, is considered to be the

    world's largest serpent effigy. The mound is a quarter of a mile long and five feet high,

    and it was originally much higher."[1]

    "The Great Serpent Mound continues to wind its quarter-mile length along an Ohio

    hilltop...By the end of the nineteenth century, archaeologists were able to show that themounds had in fact been built by Native American civilizations many centuries before-a-

    long-lost-civilization such as Greece, Persia, Holy Land or mythical island of

    Atlantis."[2]

    "...the two structures [Stonehenge and the Great Serpent Mound in the USA] share the

    same timeline. From carbon dating in and around Stonehenge, the Council for British

    Archaeology (CBA) gives an early date for the core of Stonehenge at 3,000 B.C.E. or5,000 years ago. The design of Serpent Mound was conceived about 5,000 years ago as

    well-and is therefore among the oldest of earth and stone works in North America--or in

    fact the world. In this, Stonehenge and Serpent Mound are coeval. That time period isreferred to in North American archaeology as being of the "Archaic Period"

    (approximately 6000 B.C.E. to 1000 B.C.E.)

    secret from the beginning.

    This is an extract from the Nadigranth compiled by Mr Shantaram Athvale. TheNadigranth was originally written in Sanskrit 2000 years back by the ancient astrologer

    Bhrigumuni and later updated and translated into Marathi and titled the Kak Nadi by

    Kakayyar Bhujander who was a great astrologer and seeker who lived nearly 300 yearsago in India. In this particular extract Shantaram Athvale refers to the writings from Kak

    Nadi written by Kakayyar Bhujander:

    While Jupiter is in Pisces a great Yogi will incarnate on the Earth. By 1970 it will have

    become quite evident to many people that a new era will have started. Human life will

    undergo a complete revolution. This Yogi will be the Incarnation of Parabrahma and will

    have all the divine powers.

    By the new method of yoga devised by the great Yogi, human beings will be able to

    attain the joy of Moksha within one lifetime. While living ordinary lives people will

    achieve Yoga Union with God. In the end all the nations of the world will cometogether with the feeling of oneness. There will be a great international conference in a

    big city of the world. The whole of the humanity will understand the importance ofprayer and all the nations will unite together.

    Due to new scientific discoveries science and religions would become one. With the help

    of science the existence of God and the Soul could be proved. The veil of ignorance andMaya would be drawn aside and Brahmananda, Moksha which could previously only be

    attained by yogis as a result of very hard work and severe penance would become easily

    available to many human beings.

    William Blake (28 Nov 1757-12 Aug 1827) gives us this prophetic poem titled To

    Morning. Seemingly it is an invocation to what he perceived as the feminine aspect ofthe Divine, whom would facilitate the dawning of a new age and the unlocking of Heaven

    on Earth.

    O Holy Virgin, Clad in purest white Unlock heavens golden gates and issue forth

    Awake the dawn that sleeps, that sleeps in heaven Let light rise from the chambers of the

    East

    C.S Lewis (1898-1963) in his book the Great Divorce describes some kind of

    approaching procession of great joyousness. If I could remember their singing and write

    down the notes, no man who read that score would ever grow sick or old. Between themwent musicians: and after this a lady in whose honour this was being done and Every

    young man or boy that met her became her son further Every girl that met her became

    her daughter and There are those that steal other peoples children. But her motherhoodwas of a different kind. Those on whom it fell went back to their natural parents loving

    them more. In her they became themselves. And now the abundance of life she has in

    life.

    The R.S.V. Christian Bible, Revelation, chapter 12, verse 1, tells us prophetically of a

    marvellous event to come, of a sign, of a woman. And a great portent appeared in

    heaven a woman clothed with the sun with the moon under her feet and on her head acrown of twelve stars.

    In the Prophecies of John of Jerusalem an 11th century knight we read the followingregarding the Mother and the coming Millennium time. She will be a great Master of

    the future times..... She will be the Mother of the Millennium that comes after the

    Millennium. After the days of the devil She will make the softness of a Mother flow. g)

    In the Christian Gnostic Gospel of Thomas this mysterious divine feminine power isalluded to in verse 101 as:- My mother gave me birth My true Mother gave me Life

    The Essene Gospel of Peace, Book 1 (Page 7), speaks of this feminine aspect of the

    divine as being an inner life force, as something to be realised. Your Mother is in you,and you in her, She gives you life.

    In ancient writings of the Bible and also Gnostic records...the energy now known to many

    today as Kundalini energy is called by various names such as: Sophia, Life, Mother of the

    living or Wisdom. This force called Wisdom is likened to a feminine energy, and even a

    feminine personality ........ named as She and Her. In these writings the words;She...Her ...Wisdom & Holy Spirit are used interchangeably to refer to this feminine

    aspect of the Divine. Also later known in Christian texts as the Holy Ghost, Comforter,

    Counsellor and Redeemer...

    And what of Sophia, of Wisdom, of the Holy Spirit, Comforter, Counsellor, Redeemer?

    Well people say She is here, residing within each and everyone of us as a sleepingpotential, an inner life force, known widely as the Kundalini energy. This unique energy

    resides in the sacrum (sacred) bone. It is said that She can be awakened if one truly

    desires it so. It sounds like a dream but thats what this music seeks to proclaim andcelebrate. Further it is said that the one who resurrects this inner Divine Life Force, en-

    masse, is the Divine Mother, Goddess, Holy Spirit, who is verily a Comforter,

    Counsellor, Redeemer.

    This inner living resurrection can be enjoyed every day, and each second by those who

    experience it. Whats more, it is celebrated globally on the anniversary of the opening of

    the Sahasrara. The Sahasrara is the universal energy centre located at the crown of thehead, at the fontanelle, the seventh chakra or highest centre of consciousness, known

    otherwise as the thousand petalled lotus. It is through this last centre that one is able to

    connect with the all pervading universal divine that is. On the day it was opened on acosmic level it is said that the whole atmosphere was filled with tremendous chaitanya

    (divine life force energy-vibrations) and there was tremendous light in the sky, and the

    whole thing came on the Earth. Since that day, thousands upon thousands of seekers from

    every nation have crossed paths with the one who delivers the goods. For as the Ancient

    Wisdom of Solomon promises: Verse 6. 12 Wisdom is radiant and unfading and she is

    easily discerned by those who love her, and is found by those who seek her. She

    hastens to make herself known to those who desire her. and ...she goes about seekingthose worthy of her, and she graciously appears to them in their paths, and meets them in

    every thought. Hence the song lyrics: She was also in your City. Havent you heard?

    Every year since 1970, the moment when the last centre in our evolutionary assent was

    opened, great celebrations have been taking place with people gathering from every

    nation & religious tradition somewhere on the world stage. And the day ofcommemoration May 5th. Hence, it was a big surprise to find some predictions

    regarding this particular day, May 5th, for the year 2000, the so called Millennium year.

    The Fernbank Science Centre Planetarium of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, USAhave carried out various assessments and concluded that there will be a line-up of planets

    effects upon our lives, so no armageddon type scenarios, please. In short various planets;

    Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, and the Sun and the new Moon will come intoalignment with Earth, in a most unique conjunction or union. Momentarily being

    connected along invisible gravitational lines of energy. Like a cosmic string of pearls.Perhaps this will be a particularly auspicious day. And when? On the precise date of May

    5th, 2000. This is mentioned only to spark curiosity, to lead the attention onward, to

    activate the seeking and questing faculty, to stimulate the desire to know, feel and

    experience the eternal. Everyone can do it..... if they wish!

    All this excitement about the so called Millennium may lead us in the wrong directions.

    The Millennium isnt a one moment event, if anything it more clearly represents adawning. As a seed sprouts and promises new growth, so we might look upon the idea of

    the Millennium. After all, this time business is in essence just a man made concept, and

    perhaps not too much should be made of it. In any event it is commonly debated that theJulian (Christian calendar) is only accurate to about plus or minus seven years. (So the

    Millennium could really be anywhere between 1993-2007).

    Hence, some say, it is best to stay in the present and tap into that inner state beyond time,

    the fifth dimension, accessible by achieving a state of thoughtless awareness at the

    Sahasrara chakra.....otherwise known as the Turiya State or Eternity.

    Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), who was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in

    1913 makes the following plea:- Oh! Mother, let my mind awake slowly on the Sacred

    Shore of the sea, where great souls of the world have come together to offer theirpranams. Here with outstretched hands we bow-down to the Divine in human form. In

    bounteous poetry and in great joy we adore thee. Behold here oh seeker! The mountain of

    meditation with rivers resounding and dancing to the solemn music of heaven. Adorehere your Sacred Mother Earth where great souls have come together on the seashore to

    offer their pranams. Come oh! Aryans, come non Aryans, come Hindus and Muslims.

    The 2012 prophecies are optimistic

    "When the Spanish conquered the Incas 500 years ago, the last pachacuti, or great

    change, occurred. The Q'ero have been waiting ever since for the next pachacuti, when

    order would emerge out of chaos. For the past five centuries they preserved their sacred

    knowledge, and finally, in recent years, the signs were fulfilled that the great time ofchange was at hand:

    - the high mountain lagoons have dried,

    - the condor is nearly extinct

    - and the discovery of the Golden Temple has occurred, following the earthquake in 1949

    which represented the wrath of the sun.

    The prophecies are optimistic. They refer to the end of time as we know it -- the death of

    a way of thinking and a way of being, the end of a way of relating to nature and to the

    earth.

    In the coming years, the Incas expect us to emerge into a golden age, a goldenmillennium of peace. The prophecies also speak of tumultuous changes happening in the

    earth, and in our psyche, redefining our relationships and spirituality. The next pachacuti,or great change, has already begun, and it promises the emergence of a new human after

    this period of turmoil. The chaos and upheaval characteristic of this period will last

    another four years, according to the Q'ero.

    The paradigm of European civilization will continue to collapse, and the way of the Earth

    people will return. Even more importantly, the shamanic elders speak about a tear in the

    fabric of time itself. This presents an opportunity for us to describe ourselves not as whowe have been in the past but as who we are becoming.

    Pachacuti also refers to a great Incan leader who lived in the late 1300s. He is said tohave built Machu Picchu and was the architect of an empire the size of the US. For the

    Incas, Pachacuti is a spiritual prototype -- a Master, a luminous one who stepped outside

    of time. He was a messiah, but not in the Christian sense of the only son of God, beyondthe reach of humanity. Rather he is viewed as a symbol and promise of who we all might

    become. He embodies the essence of the prophecies of the pachacuti, as Pacha means

    "earth" or "time," and cuti means "to set things right." His name also means "transformer

  • 8/6/2019 Mayan End Age 12

    15/24

    of the earth."

    The prophecies of the pachacuti are known throughout the Andes. There are those whobelieve the prophecies refer to the return of the leader Pachacuti to defeat those who took

    the Incas' land. But according to Dr. Villoldo, the return of Pachacuti is taking place on

    the collective level. "It's not the return of a single individual who embodies what we'rebecoming, but a process of emergence available to all peoples."

    The Q'ero have served as the caretakers of the rites and prophecies of their Inca ancestors.The prophecies are of no use unless one has the keys, the rites of passage. The Star Rites,

    or "Mosoq Karpay" (The Rites of the Time to Come), are crucial to the practical growth

    described in the prophecies. Following the "despachos" (ritualistic offerings of mesa, or

    medicine bundles) at the ceremony in New York City, the shamans administered theMosoq Karpay to the individuals present, transmitting the energies originating with the

    ancestors of their lineage. The transmission of the Mosoq Karpay is the ceremony

    representing the end of one's relationship to time. It is a process of the heart.

    This process of Becoming is considered more important than the prophecies themselves.

    The Karpay (rites) plant the seed of knowledge, the seed of Pachacuti, in the luminousbody of the recipient. It is up to each person to water and tend the seed so that it can grow

    and blossom. The rites are a transmission of potential; one must then make oneself

    available to destiny. The Karpays connect the person to an ancient lineage of knowledge

    and power that cannot be accessed by the individual. It can only be summoned by a tribe.

    Ultimately, this power can provide the impetus for one to leap into the body of an Inca, a

    Luminous One. That person is connected directly to the stars, the Incan Sun ofcosmology. The Q'ero believe that the doorways between the worlds are opening again.

    Holes in time that we can step through and beyond, where we can explore our human

    capabilities. Regaining our luminous nature is a possibility today for all who dare to takethe leap.

    The Andean shamans say,

    "Follow your own footsteps. Learn from the rivers, the trees and the rocks. Honor theChrist, the Buddha, your brothers and sisters. Honor the Earth Mother and the Great

    Spirit. Honor yourself and all of creation.""

    Grand Events are about to occur and Ancient Wisdom is returning to Earth

    "The Maya developed their calendar long before the Julian or Gregorian calendars cameinto existence. The Mayan Calendar is based on naturally occurring energy cycles and a

  • 8/6/2019 Mayan End Age 12

    16/24

    close connection to Mother Earth, the Sun, and the Pleiades. Because the Maya honored

    Mother Earth and the energy cycles that are present here, they were in tune with the

    cycles. They had access to information that is not available to 'modern people' because'modern people' are extremely limited by their belief systems.

    The Maya gained knowledge about many cycles which occur on Earth. They recognizeda 13-day cycle of energy which comes from galactic sources. They also came to know a

    20-day energy cycle coming from the Sun. By studying the cycles and their interaction

    with each other, the Maya gained an understanding of life on Earth that far exceeds our'modern' beliefs. Fortunately, this knowledge is becoming available to us at this time to

    assist in our 'return to natural harmony'...

    As the Grand Cycle nears completion, something very interesting is also happening in thePleiades constellation. The star Maya is the 3rd star of the Pleiades constellation. The star

    Maya passes through the Photon Band for about 2000 years and out of the band for about

    1,200 years. It's orbital path around Alcyone is shorter since it is closer to Alcyone. Our

    Sun will enter the Photon Band in 1998 and become completely within the Band by 2002.As our Sun leaves the Galactic Night and enters the Band, the star Maya also enters the

    Photon Band. These two stars are synchronized at this time. As the star Maya returns tothe Photon Band, the Mayan Beings of Light are returning to Earth to assist us as the

    Grand Cycle comes to completion. Grand Events are about to occur and Ancient Wisdom

    is returning to Earth. Know that you have all chosen to be here on Earth at this time to

    experience what will be...

    Time is not linear. We have been taught to think of Time as only going forward, from one

    point to another. I think it is more accurate to think of Time as a spiral, as cycles. In anancient time, our Mother Earth was pristine and all of her life forms lived in harmony and

    honor. It is possible to heal the Earth and restore Her to her pristine state by merging the

    Ancient Times with the present. To accomplish this, we must first rid ourselves of thelimitation of believing that Time is linear. The Mayan and Dreamspell Calendars can

    assist us greatly in coming to a greater understanding of Time. It is something that must

    be experienced. It is difficult to put into words because our language lacks the terms toexpress the nature of Time.

    We create our Reality. For whatever reason or purpose, the mass consciousness of

    humanity is embracing linear time and creating a very limited reality. As each of us shiftsout of the mass consciousness, it helps to change the whole. Love and Honor your

    Mother Earth. Receive the Galactic Synchronization Beam from the Sun. Sing the song

    of your Soul. Listen to your Heart."

    With their tools of love they bring the message to humanity that their attitude needs

    to change

    "We are living the times of the prophecies and now in another calendar of Ox Lahu

    Baktun. It also talks about the cycle of the great changes. In this cycle of the 5085 years

    in the Mayan calendar there are still 15 more years to go before this calendar can becompleted. When this cycle is completed and another restoration of the planet will begin.

    The world once again has fallen into neglecting nature. The world has been led by thematerialistic ways, and humanity needs to transcend this cycle and to live in a more

    subtle dimension. Right now only the spiritual people in this planet are living this

    process. The indigenous groups of the planet are also living this process. But the great

    majority of humanity has no idea of these changes. These changes can be verycatastrophic. It is my goal that the different indigenous and spiritual groups might come

    together as the new warriors of the light. With their tools of love they bring the message

    to humanity that their attitude needs to change. We need these positive attitudes as far as

    the different indigenous and spiritual groups and their relationship with nature, with ourbrothers and sisters the trees, with our brothers and sisters the animals, and with our

    Mother Earth.

    Even though we have neglected and abused Mother Earth, we have taken her skin off, we

    have contaminated her waters, we have contaminated her wind, she is still serving us in a

    great way. Disobedient children we have been, yet she still loves us and nurtures us. Wemust understand that Grandfather Sun shines its light on us, no matter what color or

    shape or size we are. We must see each other with this attitude in mind. If a great part of

    humanity begins to understand this process, not only on an intellectual level, but also at alevel of living it, those drastic changes that those prophecies talk about might not be so

    drastic.

    Ancient sky watchers and wisdom keepers of the original traditions of Mother Earth

    remind us of our cosmic origins and how re-aligning with the cosmos can give us

    essential energy needed to live together harmoniously and with honor for our MotherEarth. They teach that everything that happens in the sky affects our perceptions and our

    evolution. We are not separate from anything or anyone. It is clear that these current

    times on Mother Earth are like no other. These are the times in which all races, from all

    directions, must come together in harmony and unity."

    What are the living Maya saying about 2012?

  • 8/6/2019 Mayan End Age 12

    18/24

    Tz'utujil Maya Women from Guatemala

    2012 is the completion of the ancient Mesoamerican Long Count Calendar Cycle - butthe Maya of today no longer track the Long Count Cycle. Conservative estimates say its

    been at least 500 years since they have, since at least the time of the Spanish Invasion.

    The last Long Count Calendar inscription recorded in stone is from 909 AD, more than athousand years ago.

    Currently, there are at least 7 million Maya living today. The largest populations ofcontemporary Maya inhabit the Mexican states of Yucatn, Campeche, Quintana Roo,Tabasco, and Chiapas, and in the Central American countries of Belize, Guatemala, and

    the western portions of Honduras and El Salvador.

    Depending on who you talk to, one can find evidence that some living Maya endorse the

    2012 date as being of critical importance, while some may not be aware of it, or do not

    necessarily agree with its projected significance. Some think it is a matter for theshamans and priests, and do not relate to the westernized apocalyptic themes we've

    married the 2012 date to.

    To share one example, take Gerardo Barrios who began a quest over 20 years ago oftravelling to different villages in Guatemala, Mexico, Belize, El Salvador and Honduras,

    eventually interviewing nearly 600 Maya Timekeepers.

    Sharing his reflections, Gerardo Barrios states:

    "We are now in a transition period called the 'Cycle of the merge of the dark and thelight.'...The cycle of the light will come in full force on 12/21/2012...Mother Earth as a

  • 8/6/2019 Mayan End Age 12

    19/24

    living entity will transcend to another level or frequency of consciousness and a new and

    special era will begin...This era will be very positive. 'Let all beings rise. Let not one or

    two stay behind.'...The times are here for total brotherhood...The spirit beings, differentphilosophies, different races must begin to weave together all knowledge to create the

    tapestry of harmony and balance..."

    From a different perspective, author Kenneth Johnson writes "...most contemporary Maya

    continue to view these cycles of World Emergence purely in terms of 'cycles within

    cycles...' Many are aware that the 2012 end date was supposed to signify such atransition, but they are not altogether convinced that this date is as meaningful as we

    Westerners think it is."

    Along these lines, Grandfather Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj, 13th GenerationQuiche Maya Priest and Head of The National Mayan Council of Indigenous Elders in

    Guatemala representing 440 Maya tribes, is hesitant to pinpoint 2012 as the certain date

    of destiny. He is weary of putting false claims on the exact timing of a process he knows

    is in motion. However, according to Drunvalo Melchizadek whom he authorized to speakto the world on his behalf, he has recently declared that we are now in the Window of the

    End of Time, meaning the closing of the Great cycle is upon us. He has said that due tothe fulfillment of the Hopi Blue Star prophecy on October 24, 2007, brought by Comet

    Holmes, it is likely that the transformation to a New Cycle of the Sun will occur

    sometime between now and 2016.

    When we visited Guatemala last winter, we had the honor of participating in sacred fire

    ceremony with Grandfather Don Alejandro. After the ceremony, he shared with a small

    circle of us in regards to 2012. He stated that amongst the Maya of today, they can'tcollectively say for sure when the cycle is ending because almost all of their calendars

    and books (and countless sacred artifacts) were brutally destroyed in 1562 by the Roman

    Catholic Bishop De Landa. (Only 3 Maya codices remain intact.)

    According to him, the changes that are coming are already happening now and could

    culminate very soon, or perhaps over the next several generations. He doesn't want thepeople of the world to have expectations that lead them to say that nothing ended up

    happening in 2012 and discounting the wisdom of the Maya ancestors.

    Specific dates aside, Don Alejandro shares the possibility that our shift into the new cycleof the Sun will be marked by a time of 30-70 hours of prolonged darkness. If this occurs,

    he stresses the importance of us not fearing this darkness, remaining calm and knowing it

    will pass. According to Drunvalo Melchizadek, he also mentions the possibility of aphysical pole shift of the Earth's axis.

    Don Alejandro's message always points out the supreme necessity of us changing ourmodern ways and taking responsibility for the "great contamination" that man has

    perpetuated, so that we can find our way of living in harmony with Earth. "We dont

    want any more wars, no more death, no more nuclear testing, no more chemicals, because

    the warming up of the planet is unbearable to Mother Earth. If we dont change, sooner or

  • 8/6/2019 Mayan End Age 12

    20/24

    later, she will strike back with millions of lives lost."

    All of this said, he also shares that this shifting ages is a positive thing that we should bevery happy about: "So for us the time that is coming to us, is a time of change. And for us

    the Mayas, it is joy and happiness. They are saying in 2012 that this will end. So for us,

    the Mayans, if it were to happen in 2012, oh, how happy it would be. And our Creator, hewill leave seeds from different regions for the future. So you, when that time comes, you

    will be prepared."

    From his heart, Don Alejandro implores us to not be afraid in the face of these

    Unknowns. As he said to us directly, "Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. The Children of

    the Sun will survive." He was adament that the Maya prophecies are not saying the

    destruction of the planet is coming, and the elders are not pleased with the spreading ofrumors of misleading information that is creating more fear in the people. As he said,

    "...it is only a change of a cycle of the Sun. It is not the first time this is going to happen

    nor will it be the last."

    As Grandfather Don Alejandro shares, the essence of the Maya Prophecy says: Arise, all

    arise, not one nor two groups be left behind, together we will see once again the placefrom where we have come from.

    As Yucatec Maya Elder Hunbatz Men comments: "According to the prophecies, in the

    year 2013 the first stage of higher understanding will begin. If we are willing to workwith our subconscious, we will then be able to reclaim the information that has been

    impregnated in the deepest parts of our being. In this way, the ancient knowledge will

    rise again." Likewise, Don Alejandro shared that the wisdom of the Ancestors has neverleft, and that the Return of their Knowledge into our lives is imminent.

    In regards to 2012, a man named Carlos Barrios who was born in Guatemala and trainedas a Mayan Ajq'ij has a lot to share. Here is an excerpt from "The Book of Destiny" by

    Carlos Barrios:

    "For the Maya, the famous date of December 21, 2012 marks the beginning of the fifth

    cycle of 5,200 years called Job Ajaw, or The Fifth Sun. This potentially apocalyptic date

    is the beginning of a change in consciousness, a time when a new socioeconomic order

    will arise in harmony with Mother Earth.

    "Just as the world did not end in the year 2000, at the start of the millenium, it won't end

    with the advent of Job Ajaw in 2012. An unfounded fear was created before the newmillenium by religious leaders who based their theories on misguided interpretations of

    ancient religious texts and predictions made by famous prophets. The same fear is rising

    again. The true guardians of this tradition have never been consulted about this date, butwe are here to say: December 21, 2012 will not be the end of the world or the end of

    humanity. In fact, it will be the start of a period in which harmony, understanding, peace,

    and wisdom can reign. The prophecy says that during Job Ajaw we will move to a

    harmonious Natural Order so that both the Earth and humanity can attain the next stage

  • 8/6/2019 Mayan End Age 12

    21/24

    of evolution.

    "We are reaching a transcendent period as predicted by many of the world's greattraditions and visionaries. Now we have the opportunity to ascend spiritually together

    with Mother Earth. The Maya speak of such prophetic times when either this

    transcendence will be possible or we will self-destruct.

    "Mayan prophecies of events during this period have been astonishingly exact. The

    prophecies regarding the war in Iraq, the destruction of the Twin Towers, conflicts suchas those between India and Pakistan and between Israel and Palestine, the tsunamis,

    earthquakes and floods are just a few examples. The predictions that have not yet come to

    pass are even more catastrophic - but there is time to change the outcome! Our

    Grandfathers warn of calamities and the possible destruction of a large part of humankindso that we can change such events. The Mayan Elders want to caution us that we must

    live in harmony, become aware, stop polluting, and safeguard our natural resources. The

    damage we have already done to Mother Earth is more than obvious.

    "Very little attention has been paid to the importance of earlier cycles, particularly the

    end of this one, Kajib Ajaw, or the Fourth Sun. It is during this period - right now - thatwe run the greatest risk of large scale conflicts and natural disasters. The catastrophic

    side of the prophecy has unfortunately been misinterpreted as an inexorable, apocalyptic

    event. It is within our power, however, to prevent this from happening. We may be facing

    the self-destruction of much of humanity, but an ever-increasing number of us are alsobecoming aware of the damage we have caused to the environment and what we must do

    to change this...

    "The imminent arrival of the new prophetic cycle Job Ajaw, a period of 5,200 years

    beginning on December 21, 2012, will bring future generations their rightful legacy: a

    return to a state of awareness."

    What are some universal themes of this Living Prophecy?

    We are in a Time of Trial, a sacred testing, a Great Crossing. We must find the ways to

    live in harmony and peacefully coexist within our Biosphere; our survival depends upon

    our awakening to the Interdependence of Life. By the day, it is becoming more and more

    evident that business as usual is the blind path and that we must learn to navigate withgreater light.

    Emergence by Hopi Artist Michael Kabotie

    Regardless of any specific date, as the Indigenous Elders confirm, the signs of the timesare manifesting everywhere - both inside of us and in our shared world. We all feel the

    intensity in our lives as we progress through these changing times. Whether we look to

    the global economic crisis, the environmental biospheric crisis, the countless social andhuman crises with overpopulation, poverty, homelessness, disease, starvation, wars, all of

    the earth changes that are underway, etc, it is clear we are living in extremely significant

    times. This moment in our evolution as a species has never existed before in the way it ismanifesting right now.

    This living prophecy is not about one day a light all of the sudden being turned on, rather

    this is about the process we are in NOW, that will keep steadily unfolding. The essence ofthis time of prophecy is that we are living in a time of crossroads; a time of shifting world

    age cycles where the old world and its separation-based mentality is in the process of

    dying and transforming into a new world that lives and creates through our hearts.

    We are in a great inbetween time right now, experiencing a tension of the opposites

    playing out between contracted forces of fear that seek to have false power bymanipulating life with a mind founded in duality, and the expansive forces of possibility

    that seek to be empowered by living in harmony with life, surrending our hearts to the

    Mystery school of life that unites us.

    An important theme is the reminder that "it is always darkest before the dawn." In other

  • 8/6/2019 Mayan End Age 12

    23/24

    words, it is said that if we can navigate through these times of immense challenge and

    crisis, the eventual renewal of the world cycles will bring a gradual return of wisdom and

    balance.

    Channeler of Light by Patricia M. Bowers This is the theme of Return that appears in manydifferent prophecies. Return to Balance; consciously unifying matter and spirit; The

    Return of the Divine Feminine. Return of the Christ Consciousness. Return of the

    Feathered Serpent, the snake and the bird unifying the lower, primal and higher, celestialnature within us. The Return of the Wisdom of the Ancestors and Star Beings; The

    Return to Living In Harmony with Nature; The Sacred Hoop of All Nations can be

    Whole again; the New Jerusalem emerging, the Rainbow Warriors arising; Returning tothe Consciousness of the Garden; Returning to Awareness of our True Nature. Can it be?

    It seems there is no other quest but to awaken to our human potential. The focus of

    Return brings an energy of Rebirth into a new sense of wholeness.

    Essentially, the idea is that we have been in a long era dominated by the linear, rational

    mind - split off from the body and the heart, entranced by linear time, reductionist

    scientific paradigms, blind materialsm, egoic competition, the dualistic mentality of rightand wrong, and a fear-based sense of separation and greed resulting from a deep,

    societally entrenched disconnection from the sacred oneness of life.

    As we gradually shift gears out of the old paradigm described above, we can eventuallymove into an era that will be increasingly guided by the heart and intuition integrated

    with the mind and body, attuned to the eternal dimension of being, supportive of new

    quantum sciences, living in harmony with nature and in touch with the spiritual, invisibledimensions, dedicated to authentic cooperation, tolerant of diversity and holding space

    for multiple viewpoints, guided by conscious awareness of our precious interdependence,

    desiring to serve the whole.

    The Maya calendar is a system of complex and highly developedcalendars created by the Maya Civilization of pre-Columbian

    Mesoamerica. This series of calendars, includes a sacred 260-daycalendar, called the Tzol'kin, a 365-day calendar called the Haab, and

    a 52-Haab cycle called the Calendar Round, which synchronised the

    Tzol'kin and Haab cycles. The Maya believed that time was cyclicalinstead of the western conception of linear time. This means that they

    thought that time repeated itself, so therefore, if they knew the pastthey could predict the future. By understanding time, they Maya could

    gain power over their world.
