Is the Mayan prophecy actually Doomsday or is it The Great Change?
I’m doing a persuasive essay in english and I want people’s opinions on this subject. My teacher said it was ok if i asked people for a survey, so its not cheating. I would also like it if you could provide support for your answer please. Thanks!
Answer by ? Epona ?
I have heard that the Mayans never prophesied anything about the world ending in 2012. Their calendar simply ends on that year because they never finished it, probably because they all died out before finishing it. I believe the history channel will be running a show on this very subject soon, it might be worth watching.
What do you think? Answer below!
* HOW come no one has ever really heard bout the mayan since just now ? all this talk bout ”Doomsday” is a mouth full of tr@sh … the only reason the calander stops there as a war came they were attacked for believeing in a different religion and they were all killed it was on a history channel program *
The Universe is orderly not random. The Mayans were able to through their extensive work with time figure out that the earth runs in cycles lasting 26000 years. http://www.scribd.com/doc/2062555/Mayan-Prophecies-and-Calendar The earth goes though each of the zodiac phases that last about 2152 years. We are on the last phase. We have been going through these changes for many years but as the time get nearer it will become more apparent. 2012 is the completion of this cycle. A new cycle of the new age will begin.http://www.13moon.com/prophecy%20page.htm Good for you combining this with your English homework.
I dont think the earth will stop spinning on December 21, 2012.
Every 26,000 years the Earth’s north and south poles shift because of our alignment in the exact centre of our galaxy this event could cause tremendous natural disasters but I’m sure life will continue.The ancient Maya priesthood calculated threw astrology and superstition that this date would mark the end of human consciousness as we know it, not the end of the world. By the way, whats amazing is thier scripture also predicted that the War God Quetzacoatl would have pale skin and a black beard–unknown in that part of the world– and would return on April, 22nd, 1519 and that is the exact day Hernan Cortes landed on the Central American coast. Whats also interesting is the last time this event happened 26 000 years ago our ancestor Cro Magnon man suddenly began creating great art in the caves of southern France, which to this day remains one of the most inexplicable and remarkable changes in human history.
Richard Shafsky, a man counseled by a Maya shaman priest, was told the Mayan Calendars were created using information about the cosmos, that is stored in some ancient Crystal Skulls. He added, this information may be useful in assisting humanity in preparation for the difficult times ahead and for the coming New Age.
I’ve heard that the true ancient Crystal Skull’s can not be duplicated even with today’s highest technology. This anomaly points to the existence of highly advanced beings from a time before the Great Maya Civilization. The skulls seem to be a type of Time Capsule / Computer / Data Base (mass information stored in quartz crystal).

The Mayan Calendars end at the completion of their cycle; much like our calendar ends at the end of the solar year cycle. The ancient Maya were master astronomers, mathematicians as well as master time keepers. Those things which they predicted and their time has come to pass (black holes, eclipses, etc.) have been surprisingly right on. Their “Long Count” calendar was discovered in use by an earlier civilization called the Olmecs. The source of their knowledge of the cosmos is unknown, but thought to be “not of this world”. There is no “End of the World” Maya prophecy; Rather, they predict an “End of the World as we know it”. Great changes are expected to happen, including more natural disasters followed by a change in consciousness and a time of peace.
Here is a summary of my research into the Mayan Calendars and their predictions for the time leading to Dec. 21, 2012.
————————–
The following cycles are most relevant to what may occur in 2012. There is the 25,625 year “Galactic Day” and the 5,125 year “Long Count”(Great Cycle). Both of these are set to END and RESTART on the Winter Solstice of 2012 (11:00 UST Dec. 21, 2012):
Let’s start with the “Galactic Day”. As we travel around the Milky Way galaxy, it is my understanding that we do not remain at a constant distance nor at the same orientation in relation to the black hole at its center; a black hole the Maya refer to as the supreme creator, “HUNAB KU”. Instead, we move closer and further from this black hole. As we move in closer, we simultaneously become aligned with the Milky Way’s equator or “The Tree of Life” as the Maya call it. Upon doing so, we may become exposed to “HUNAB KU’s” opposing magnetic forces which would cause our Sun to eject intense solar flares and Earth to experience a magnetic pole reversal (Pole Shift). In the years that we have been furthest away from ,”HUNAB KU”, we have been dense low vibrating energy and have been experiencing our dark spiritual years: These years have been part of the “Galactic Night”. As we move closer, we become higher vibrating energy and spiritually enlightened beings: These years pertain to the “Galactic Day”. We are currently in transition from Night to Day. The complete cycle takes 25,625 years; approximately the same as what modern science has calculated and named “The Precession Of The Equinox Cycle”.

The “Long Count” evenly divides the “Galactic Day” into five equal parts (25,625 years / 5 = 5,125 years). It is my understanding that this cycle also coincides with a natural rhythmic beat that is derived from the black hole at the center of the galaxy in the form of an energy pulse. This energy pulse presumably has multiple effects on us and our surroundings. It not only helps us to become enlightened beings for twenty years, but can reek havoc on Earth by creating larger solar flares which can bring drought, famine, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and tsunamis. Twenty years prior to this event, in a period the Maya refer to as “The Time of No-Time”, mild energy spurts, from “HUNAB KU”, create a shift in consciousness; from left-brain thinking to right-brain thinking (from logical to intuitive). This shift can be experienced all at once or gradually at first moving exponentially as we approach the end of the cycle.

There is one more Mayan Calendar I could share with you called “The Nine Underworlds”. It is one of the more recently rediscovered calendars and may be the most important one, in so far as the 2012 prophecies are concerned. It is a calendar that has recorded the state of consciousness from the beginning of time (The Big Bang) to Dec. 21, 2012. At which time, we will have supposedly consciously evolved to completeness to become co-creators with “HUNAB-KU”: It maps out “creation” if you will. Humans will be exposed to a cosmic energy that will facilitate enlightenment. In this state of higher consciousness, we will recognize that all matter, plant, animal, mineral are bound as one. This realization will mark the end of wars.
