Aztec 2012: The Coming End of Our
Age?
Perhaps you've heard about an event,
believed to occur in or
near Mexico City in six years, which is to
signal the end of
time or the end of the world.
The event, scheduled to occur in 2012 (some
say 2011), is
when the ancient Aztec
2012 Calendar or Mayan Calendar
ends.
In 2012 the Aztec 2012 Calendar
simply stops. Finis. Done. Over.
Do we really just have only six more years?
Is this Mayan
event equivalent to the promised biblical
Armageddon? Do we
need to be frightened? Nervous? Awed? Anxious?
Mildly or
intensely curious? Do we need to re-look at our
investment
portfolios? Are we doomed or saved? Just what
is this 2012
event?
Let's take a brief look at the Mayan
calendar.
The Mayans – living in the Yucatan Peninsula
in Mexico – are
an old culture, dating back to the time of the
early Roman
Empire in Europe. Their culture and
civilization gave rise
to several subsequent cultures: the Olmecs; the
Toltecs, and
the Aztecs. They built pyramids with the same
precision as
the Egyptians, though not quite as large. They
had a very
sophisticated understanding of astronomy and
mathematics,
all of which is reflected in the complexity of
their
calendar. Then they mysteriously seemed to
disappear.
There are nine Underworlds in the universe
of the Maya. They
are called Underworlds, not because of a Mayan
concept of
Hell, but because of the activated crystalline
structures in
the earth's inner core. These crystalline
structures were
not "scientifically" known by the Mayans, but
were "sensed"
or "intuited" by the spiritual priests and
tribal leaders,
chief of whom was Kukulcan – better known as
Quetzalcoatl in
the Aztec culture.
Each Underworld consists of seven days and
has a duration –
a length of time – that is equivalent to twenty
times the
length of the subsequent underworld. These
lengths of time
are called "cycles" in the Aztec 2012 or Mayan Calendar. The
last day of
each cycle contains all of the following
cycles, so all
cycles will end at the same time. Each cycle is
divined to
accomplish a "greater" sense of consciousness:
Build on the
previous cycle and, simultaneously, lay
preparations for the
following cycle.
A simplified summary follows (for more
information on this
subject, I would recommend The Aztec 2012
or Mayan Calendar and the
Transformation of Consciousness, by Carl Johan
Calleman,
PhD, Bear & Company Publishers, Rochester,
Vermont).
During the initial cycle, the universal
consciousness moved
from the Big Bang and the creation of matter to
the
emergence of cell structures. During the second
cycle,
consciousness moved from cellular structures to
mammalian
organisms. Consciousness shifted from animals
to primates
during the third cycle and from primates to
humans in the
fourth cycle. During the fifth cycle, humans
raised their
consciousness with the development of a spoken
language and
a community organization. The sixth cycle began
with the
development of a written language and a sense
of a national
consciousness – a consciousness of being a
"people" among
other organized "peoples." During the seventh
cycle,
beginning about the time of The Industrial Age,
the idea
that we were a global people was germinated.
The eighth
cycle, which we are currently in, will see that
embryonic
sense of a global community come to fruition.
The last cycle
– or age – the Aztec
2012 or Mayan
Calendar records will begin in early
2011 and end later that year. It marks the end
of our
dualistic civilization as we currently know it
– east/west,
rich/poor, either/or, us/them, me/you – and the
beginning of
a new order of life: Global citizenship;
Intuitive
knowledge; Sharing of resources; Cooperation
rather than
competitiveness; Spirit-driven rather than
materialistic-driven.
As mentioned earlier, each "cycle,"
according to the Mayans,
is twenty times shorter than the one preceding.
This rather
simple fact of the Mayan Calendar very neatly
explains what
we have all suspected and often hear: Events
not only seem
to be speeding up, events are speeding up.
The first cycle began 16.4 Billion years
ago, close to when
astronomers now fix the Big Bang event and the
beginning of
the creation of matter. The second cycle began
850 million
years ago, near to the timeframe anthropology
and geology
use as the beginning of the first animals.
The third cycle began 40 million years ago,
near to when
scientists now believe was the emergence of the
first
primates. The fourth cycle began 2 million
years ago, near
to when anthropology places the emergence of
the first
humans.
The fifth cycle began 102,000 years ago with
the probability
of the first spoken language, according to
anthropologists.
The sixth cycle began 5,125 years ago (circa
3100 bce) with
the emergence of the first written language –
the Sumerians.
This sixth cycle, known as the National
Underworld, is also
the beginning of the Mayan "Long Count"
calendar.
The seventh cycle (known as the Planetary
Underworld) began
256 years ago (circa the mid-Eighteenth
Century), about the
time historians place the beginning of the
Industrial Age.
It was near the end of this cycle that the 1st
Harmonic
Convergence occurred in August 1987, ushering
in a countdown
to the end of the Mayan Long Count. The eighth
cycle began
January 5, 1999 and will last 12.8 years (4680
days). It is
the cycle we are currently in and is called by
the Mayans
the Galactic Underworld.
The Galactic Cycle will be marked by the
realization of the
true impact of information technology on the
global economy,
as expressed by the use of the Internet. The
marked rise in
the importance and role of intuition and the
spiritual unity
of the global community will also be quite
evident. The
movement will move rapidly from an either/or
(or us/them)
mentality to one of true global cooperation and
sharing.
This phenomenon is often referred to as one of
higher
vibrations or the beginning of a non-dual
cosmic
consciousness. Incidentally, the 2nd Harmonic
Convergence
will occur near the end of this cycle in May
2010.
The ninth cycle, known as the Universal
Underworld, will
begin on February 11, 2011 and will end on
October 28, 2011,
lasting only 260 days. At the end of this final
260-day
cycle, the Mayan Calendar simply stops. [The
date October
28, 2011, the end of the Mayan Calendar, is
based on a more
recent understanding of the actual beginning of
the Mayan
"long count" calendar, according to Calleman.
The original
calculated date marking the beginning of the
calendar
defined the end of the "long count" as December
21, 2012,
the date we hear most about.] Some believe the
end of this
ninth cycle is also known as the birth of the
6th Sun and
the 5th Earth – the beginning of a new
5,125-year cycle.
At the end of the calendar, according to the
Mayans,
humankind will have direct divine contact,
understanding,
and consciousness. This will not happen all at
once, just as
the Industrial Age, which historians generally
mark with the
invention of Fulton's steam engine, didn't
happen overnight.
However, as industrialism grew, those
businesses and
industries that refused to adapt simply didn't
survive.
Think of this analogy: Two blacksmiths are
standing in front
of their shops, across the road from one
another, when the
first automobile comes putt-puff-putting down
Main Street.
One blacksmith says to himself, "Harumph! Those
'iron
horses' will never make it! I fix wagon wheel
rims and
hand-held plows, and I shoe horses. That's what
I'll
continue to do." Unfortunately, he probably
went out of
business. The other blacksmith says to himself,
" I don't
know if cars will last or not, but I do know
that it's made
of a lot of iron and I fix iron things. If it
breaks, I
think I can make the parts to fix it, along
with wagon
wheels and shoeing horses." That blacksmith
probably did
just fine. Perhaps he was the grandfather of
Mr. Goodwrench.
It's an attitude. It's all in how we
perceive change. If we
perceive change with fear, we will resist it,
like the first
blacksmith. We recall the axiom: What one
resists will
persist. If we welcome change as part of a
divine plan
(however you choose to define that), then we
will adapt,
grow, evolve, and even flourish.
The end of the Aztec 2012 or Mayan Calendar is not
predicting a physical end of the world – just
like a physical end of the world is
not described in the Book of Revelations in the
Bible. But,
according to the Mayans, this last Cycle, the
Universal
Underworld, does mark an end of the world as we
know it – as
we have come to understand how things work.
This is similar
to the Book of Revelations that describes an
end to the
world as the writer perceived it to be at the
beginning of
the Second Century. John of Patmos wrote
Revelations in
visionary "code," since to be caught with
recognized
Christian literature was a punishable offense
in his time.
In a sequence of dream-like visions, he
perceives the defeat
of evil empires and the establishment of a
reign of peace,
ruled by God, where we are freed from pain and
suffering.
As these shifts in consciousness or shifts
in perceived
reality occur, there will be persons – those in
power, those
invested in keeping the things the way they
have been, those
immersed in religious systems that assuage
people's fears –
who will "fight" to prevent change. So, there
will be
conflict, as is always the case with change.
Could the
conflict become so severe nuclear weapons could
be unleashed
and the earth would become uninhabitable? It
certainly is
possible. Is it probable? I don't think so.
We're moving from a level of collective
consciousness: 1)
Where others are viewed as competitors, 2)
Where we see
ourselves as survivors scrambling to get our
share of what
we perceive to be limited (or lack of)
resources, and 3)
Where we perceive ourselves working, struggling
and fighting
within all the elements of a dualistic view of
the world
where we see everything in terms of
right/wrong, good/evil,
plenty/scarcity, judging/comparing (from our
us/them point
of view, of course) and have created a world
filled with
fear, guilt, shame and resentment.
We are moving to an Age of Peace and
Harmony, summarized in
the ancient Mayan greeting In Lak'ech or "I am
another you."
Other spiritual movements have similar
traditions. Egyptian
and Vedic traditions describe the
transformation of
consciousness. The Incans, the Hopi, and
the Keys of Enoch
discussed the return of the Children of Light
and the rise
in spirituality and decline in religion.
During the last fifty years, Share
International has been
predicting the emergence of Maitrayea, the
world teacher for
the new age, and the remainder of a
hierarchical of
spiritual masters, including the Christ, the
fifth Buddha,
the Imam Mahdi, and the Messiah. There have
been recent
writings, such as Lee Carroll's Indigo
Children, that
describe a higher form of consciousness and
awareness that
is emerging today – an emergence that is
visible as an
indigo-colored aura surrounding these gifted
children, many
of whom are misunderstood today. Astrologers
have been
predicting our movement from the Age of Pisces,
marked by
5,000 years of idealism and patriarchy, to
the
multi-centuries lifespan of the Age of
Aquarius. This new
age will be noted by the resurgence of the
power of "the
total group" in the raising of consciousness.
The Age of
Aquarius also will bring back the divine
Feminine to create
a balance in "unity" consciousness – a healing
of the
energies between the masculine and the
feminine.
Just think what is about to happen: Peace;
Harmony; Sharing;
Cooperation; Caring for Mother Earth; A Truly
Global Sense
of Community; The Spirituality of Love (or an
Honest
Spirituality) Replacing Fear-Based Religiosity.
Wow!
Prepare for it. Welcome it.
Rejoice in the end of this world, as we have
known it.
Rejoice in the beginning of the world we
have longed for.
Hallelujah!
