Forget 2012, THIS Is What The Mayans Should Be Remembered For

maya-pyramid

Forget the supposed “Mayan Prophecy” of doomsday in 2012, the Mayan civilization never (ever!) predicted that the world was going to end on Dec. 21st 2012. Really, no ancient Maya elder ever said anything about doom. Also, no Mayan descendent believes that their ancestors foretold doom (and in fact, they’re getting rather pissed off at the insinuation).

Are you seeing a pattern yet? Please say you are.

In short, the world isn’t going to end in 2012, it is simply the end date of the Mayan calendar. There is nothing scary, spooky, weird or ominous about that despite what the doomsayers keep telling us. As I talked about in a previous article, 21/12/2012 is going to be a poignant reminder that the Mayan Long Count calendar represents the last breath of an ancient civilization.

And to be honest, who needs doomsday theories when the history of the Mayan culture is so fascinating anyway. I’m totally blown away by this video:

I’ve already received a message indicating this CNN news article is somehow a coincidence and therefore proof of some kind of “shift.” (I’m assuming we’re taking about a shift of a “New Age-conciousness” kind and not of a “Oh crap, the magnetic poles of Earth just went ass-over-tit for no apparent reason” kind.)

However, the timing of this news report is no coincidence. Can you guess why?

Hint: in about three weeks time, a fun little movie called 2012 is going to be released. It might have a terrible plot, it might even be over-hyped, but I wager that the 2012 movie will be a blockbuster. Blockbusters = audience. So, why do you think this mother of all coincidences just happened? Why would CNN decide to run this news report now? Do you think it might be the same reason why every media outlet will be pulling apart every aspect of 2012 for most of November?

Wow, I am getting cynical.

  1. Absolutely, Ian! We should be remembering the Mayans for the physical treasures they left us, not a redundant calendar!

    1. The transition from life to new life always requires a 'shift' and this is death – not an ultimate end, but a gateway to a new experience. Ask any oak tree – does it fear the loss of it's leaves in the fall? Does it even fear it's fall to the ground where it's trunk will be consumed by the earth? With the 'bigger picture' of the life cycle of an oak tree, from acorn to grand tree to rotten log, to dirt, to acorn sprouting amidst the dirt, death pales into insignificance – a short moment in the “great cycle”.Read more: http://www.astroengine.com/?p=6805#ixzz0wVUzjjy5

  3. This entire thing of 2012 is getting more and more scary and horrifying day by day. It was a great relief coming to this post.Because its the first place where I have read that nothing of such kind is gone a happen.As such nothing is in our hands.Mio Navman Spirit V505

    1. i have a question for you…knowing that it is an inevitability that each of us is promised death merely by receiving the opportunity to live…how is it frightening that there is a potential end all to end alls? one way or the other we expire on an individual level..and for most of us this individual mortality is all that is recognized. is it because the prophetic possibility of a given date to an end of your personal existence reaffirms the reality of mortality. live every moment as if it is your last, and breath every breath as if it is your last…because it is potentially your last…whether or not doomsday ever arrives.

  4. i have a resounding reverence for your cynicism, as i am certain many others also have….at least i really hope so as this would indicate there might be hope yet for humanity. good luck to your endeavors of unveiling delusion…may the force be with you.

  7. The whole obsession with doomsday and 'end of the world' is simply this:The ego's fear of it's own inescapable end. Death is a natural and inevitable part of the cycle of life, as all of us know.The transition from life to new life always requires a 'shift' and this is death – not an ultimate end, but a gateway to a new experience. Ask any oak tree – does it fear the loss of it's leaves in the fall? Does it even fear it's fall to the ground where it's trunk will be consumed by the earth? With the 'bigger picture' of the life cycle of an oak tree, from acorn to grand tree to rotten log, to dirt, to acorn sprouting amidst the dirt, death pales into insignificance – a short moment in the “great cycle”.The Mayan calendar gracefully, scientifically charts many such 'great cycles' in the life cycles of the greater cosmos. Death is an integral part of it all.The simple message of the Mayan 13th Baktun 'end date' is that our perception of time as we now conceive of it will come to an end.It will mark a point on a great circle that plots our solar system's orbit around the galactic centre and is related to the 25920 year cycle of the Precession of the Equinoxes.On 21.12.2012 there will be a 'moment' of 'no-time' (aka. death) when we will all glimpse eternity, after which the universe will move into a new epoch of creation.Those life forms that are unable to deal with the fear of this moment will be 'doomed' to endure another “great cycle” of evolutionary learning, while those who let go of fear will enjoy the new life that this affords.The mainstream media's current obsession with the 2012 end-date is just the last gasp of a fearful ego-centred world view that is coming to an end.Pay no attention to it and enjoy the freedom that follows!Ken Carey's “Vision: A Personal Call to Create a New World” sums up the emerging consciousness of this shift, although many other sources are available.

  8. 2012 is NOT gonna happen…Whats gonna happen: people are gonna loose there minds and start riots like psycho people.

  9. Damn it!!i was happy already with all this of 2012,i was thinking that i do not need to pay my car and the rent anymore,… damn it…. back to work hard.
