While this isn’t true that the world is ending, it is an extremely significant time where the world as we know may change beyond recognition. The end of one Age marks the beginning of a new Age. We are in that transition now; the old is being destroyed and replaced with the new. The Katun prophecy in the Mayan holy book, the Chilam Balam, describes the old leaving through upheavals in social structures and environmental stress. Socially, the Katun predicts economic collapse, loss of faith in governments, starvation, riots and loss of faith in religion.
Environmentally, it predicts pestilence, plague, and an increase in the intensity of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and hurricanes.
Not all, however, is cataclysmic. There is light in the predictions of the new world to come. The Maya believed the centre of the Milky Way is the home of Hunab’ ku, or the creator. It’s said the alignment of the solar system with the Hunab’ku will bring an influx of spiritual energy to the planet. The new Age will be the “Golden Age,” a time of shifting paradigms where science and religion both become more focused on advancing human consciousness. It’s a time when people have better access to innate human spiritual ability and are awaken to self-realisation. It is claimed that there will be transparency in governments and institutions and the advent of leaders we can trust.
Not all the researchers agree that the Mayan Long Count calendar ends in 2012, a date that was determined by archaeologists deciphering glyphs on stele and monuments. Some researchers, like Carl Johan Calleman, believe the actual end of the Long Count will happen in October of 2011. The only people who really know are the Mayan day keepers who are still alive today. Today’s Mayan elders are soon to reveal five additional calendars that may shed light on the change underway.
The Mayan prophecies are fascinating, but should we believe them? One reason you might want to is the accuracy of the Maya’s astronomical data. Their calculations of alignments, cycles, and celestial events rival today’s computer calculations. As the Hubble Space Telescope is sending more pictures of galaxies back to earth, NASA is only now able to confirm astronomical observations of the ancient Maya. If they could see this far out into space and this far into the future, couldn’t they be correct in their predictions?
However, the main reason people are taking the 2012 predictions seriously is because they are proving extremely accurate. Today’s headlines reveal a world in chaos as the world economy collapses, social structures are stressed and in some places people are fighting for food. Climate change may provide the mechanism for intensifying storms, tsunamis and earthquakes as well as pestilence and plagues.
The message of the Mayan calendar may well be to let go of all that is not working in our current paradigm and to create the world we want to live in; one based on truth, justice and peace between all the people.
