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.
