Mayan Calander & 2012 Prophecies

In this blog I would like to clear up some common misconceptions about the Mayan Calander and the year 2012. Contrary to popular belief the Mayan Calander does not represent the end of the world or the end of days as some would have us believe. In fact the Mayan Calander actually means the exact opposite of the end as it represents new beginings.

The Long Count Mayan Calander ends on December 21, 2012 which happens to be the same day as the Winter Solstice. The Mayans believe that on that day a unique astonomical event will occur, a very rare conjunction of the Sun with the eliptic of the Milky Way galaxy that will bring great change to all of us here on earth. The Mayans believe that we will soon come to the end of one galactic day so to speak. A galactic day being comprised of 25,625 years divided into five 5,125 years. This means we are living on the cusp of the Mayan end times as we are almost finished the 5th and final cycle!

While December 12, 2012 marks the end of this world age cycle, most importantntly it marks the begining of a new cycle that can bring change to the world as we currently know it. If we look at 2012 as a finish date it makes one realize that we are currently living in a time of great change. The Grand Cardinal Cross ( which I have blogged about ealier ) is what is the begining of the changes that will come to fruition on the Winter Solstice of 2012. With the end date drawing near perhaps its time for humanity to awaken and realize just how important this time were living in really is. The universe is calling out to each of us to participate in the coming changes to the best of our ability we need to move forth with open hearts and open minds so that we can each find out true path. Each of us is being summoned to bring our inspiration and hope to the forefront so that we all might take part in helping to transform our culture to one of harmony, within ourselves, towards each other and towards the earth.

In addition to the Mayans having their Calander end on the Winter Solstice of 2012 there are also other ancient documents that conicide with the end of thier calander. The Dresden Codex is a pre columbia book from 11th century of the Yucatecan Maya in Chichen Itza. Found in this book are ancient Mayan Prophecies that coincide with the end date of thier long count calander year.Specifically The " Mayan Story of Creation "
shows that in 2012  the planetary stewardship will change from the masculine into the hands of the femine. The story is shown using pictoral glyphs and the final glyph of the codex depicts our current time which shows the reawakening of the Spirit of the Femine and the transfer of the staff of power from the masculine to the femine at this timeframe in history. This transfer of power creates an opportunity for the tranformation of mankinds consciousness to occur.

We are are truly living in a time of transition as we near the end of the 5th and final cycle, and while the Mayans were able to foretell this to us I think they message they give is more to do with the choices we make now and how they will come to reflect upon us individually and upon mankind as a whole. In this time of prophecy we need to move towards motivating ourselves not from fear but from awareness which is why I have started blogging. In order to navigate these crucial times on the earth, we must listen to  our hearts and follow its inspiration. Your heart is your guide and it can lead you to your true path if you only choose to listen and follow it.

In conclusion the Mayan Calander is about rebirth and new beginings. While no one can predict the specifics of how things will change as we enter a new world age one can hope for a brighter tomorrow. Each of us has the ability to make the changes we want to see in the world..we only need to start that change within ourselves so that it can grow and spread to others. As we gradually make these changes we can  move into an era where we will be guided by our hearts and intution where we can all live in harmony with each other and upon the earth.
