The Hard Science of Maya's Prediction of "Transition"
What you about to read side-steps the woo-woo surrounding a single date of December 21st 2012
in which many believed dramatic events would occur and half the world
would be swept away. However - I must say that over the past four or
five months a majority of people were better able to put things in
perspective and even some came to their realization that Dec. 22nd 23, 24' and so on.... would probably be no different than the magical date of the 21st.
I believe credit is due to those who helped people better understand Maya's message. In
fact, you should not be surprised to hear that the people most upset
about all this Hollywood style propaganda are the Mayan elders
themselves. At first the elders really tried to get interested people to
understand what the 'transition' is meant to be and to provide a way to
give some form of tangible pathway. But when venturing into the
celestial world of less defined understanding in the principles of
quantum physics, dark matter, and ether - one can easily sympathize with
the majority of people who become frustrated with not being able to
interpret the Mayan message.
Most of us want to know what it looks like -
How will I feel? - Will my family and friends notice something
different? And the biggest one: "How long will it take, a minute, a day,
a month, a year? Did I miss it? Today's
society has adjusted to time of 'instant resolve'. If you want to
understand something.... just Google it. If want to travel to an unknown
area....just GPS it. If you need to contact someone....just cell phone
it. If they are far away in another country....just Skype it.
So how could the Mayan people have gained such empirical knowledge without the advanced technology of today? The Answer:
Because their tribe has been on Earth for several millennia. On
'millennia' equals 1,000 years. It is believed the Maya and related
indigenous tribes have survived for perhaps 30,000+ years. Long enough
to witness "long-term" cycles - then pass this knowledge to the next
generation and repeated for over 400 generations. In North America for
example - our culture has been established for less than 238 years with
the average person learning and experiencing for less than 2
generations. Because of our high technology we have developed a short
attention span often speaking of trends lasting one month, one year, and
even in the science community the average time span of researched data
is only 127 years.
In short - the Mayan calendar identifies the beginning and end of long-term and shorter-term cycles.
There is no understanding of a moment in time - as in a single day such
as Dec. 21st 2012. The 'transition' from one state of being to another
"does not" fit the mechanics like flipping on a switch. It is a gradual
process of which scientific agencies such as NASA and ESA identify the
galactic alignment factually occurred in 2009. However, other
researchers believe the 'transition' period of this cycle (5th World or
5th Sun) began in 1980 and has an approximate 36 year precession.
The Mayan calendar is made up of three cyclical counts.
The first is known as the 'sacred calendar' or Tzolk'in, which lasts 260
days and then started over again. The second calendar is known as the
Haab', or secular calendar, which lasts 360 days but did not account for
the extra quarter-day it takes the Earth to revolve around the Sun. The
final and 3rd calendar is known as the B'ak'tun, or long count
calendar, which lasts 144,000 days which is approximately 400 years
(using a 360 day seasonal count). Dec. 21st
2012 marked the end of the "13th B'ak'tun" - a period of approximately
5125.36 years. This period is known as the 'Great Cycle' or the (World
Cycle). It is the time when all period cycles (or sub-cycles) have
completed. It is the end of one full 'transition' and the beginning of
another.
The Mayan message as set by their calendar indicates we are in 'transition' from the 4th World into the 5th World (or 5th Sun).
They also predicted we are going beyond the 4 known elements of
Earth-Wind-Water-Fire and ushering in the 'New' Element or '5th
Element'. This New or 5th Element is "Ether". The definition of 'ether'
described in various dictionaries such as Webster and Cambridge: "It
is a theoretical substance which occupy all space, postulated to account
for the propagation of electromagnetic radiation through the universe."
Mayan prophecy speaks of 'celestial events' as mentioned in the Mayan
Sacred Books of 'Chilam Balam' and 'Popol Vuh' to occur at the end of
the 4th world and beginning of the 5th world. We are in that time right
now.
The correlation to new scientific discoveries of charged particles
fits Mayan prophecy of both "Ether" and "Celestial Events". Science
confirms the source of dark matter or dark energy is made up of charged
particles such as galactic cosmic rays, gamma rays, and solar x-rays. In
other words - it is "Ether" which binds all things together.
In November 2011, Pope Benedict XVI summoned all scientific leaders
from around the world in the fields of astro-astronomy, particle
physics, and quantum physics to the Vatican. The main discussion was on
the so-called "god particle" - otherwise known as the Higgs boson
particle.
The Higgs boson or Higgs particle (or god particle) is an elementary particle whose possible discovery was announced on July 4, 2012.
It was predicted by a theory in physics called the Standard Model. It
is one of the 17 fundamental particles in the Standard Model. The other
16 are the 6 quarks, 6 leptons, the photon, gluon, W, and Z bosons. The
quarks and leptons are examples of a class of particles called fermions.
They are the ones that make up all the everyday matter we see around
us. The photon, W, Z, gluon, and Higgs particles are in a different
class called bosons. They are the ones responsible for all the forces in
nature except gravity. Scientists don't yet know how to combine gravity
with the Standard Model.
Now the Good, the Bad, and the Woo-Woo of 2012
December 21st 2012 started out as the prophetic day some had believed would usher in the fiery end of the world. By Friday
afternoon, it had become more comic than cosmic, the punch line of
countless Facebook posts and at least several dozen T-shirts.
At the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza,
thousands chanted, danced and otherwise frolicked around ceremonial
fires and pyramids to mark the conclusion of a vast, 5,125-year cycle in
the Mayan calendar. The doomsayers who had predicted apocalypse were
nowhere to be seen. Instead, people showed up in T-shirts reading "The
End of the World: I Was There." Vendors eager to sell their ceramic
handicrafts and wooden masks called out to passing visitors, "Buy
something before the world ends."
For the masses in the ruins, Dec. 21 sparked celebration
of what they saw as the birth of a new and better age. It was also
inspiration for massive clouds of patchouli and marijuana smoke and a
chorus of conch calls at the break of dawn. The official crowd count
stood at 20,000 as of mid-afternoon, with people continuing to arrive.
That surpassed the count on an average day but not as many as have
gathered at the ruins during equinoxes.
The boisterous gathering Friday included Buddhists,
pagan nature worshippers, druids and followers of Aztec and Maya
religious traditions. Some kneeled in attitudes of prayer, some seated
with arms outstretched in positions of meditation, all facing El
Castillo, the massive main pyramid. Ceremonies were being held at
different sides of the pyramid, including one led by a music group that
belted out American blues and reggae-inspired chants. Others involved
yelping and shouting, and drumming and dance, such as one ceremony led
by spiritual master Ollin Yolotzin. "The world was never going to end,
this was an invention of the mass media," said Yolotzin, who leads the
Aztec ritual dance group Cuautli-balam. "It is going to be a good era.
... We are going to be better."
Ivan Gutierrez, a 37-year-old artist who lives in the nearby village,
stood before the pyramid and blew a low, sonorous blast on a conch
horn. "It has already arrived, we are already in it," he said of the new
era. "We are in a frequency of love; we are in a new vibration." But it
was unclear how long the love would last: A security guard quickly came
over and asked him to stop blowing his conch shell, enforcing the ruin
site's ban on holding ceremonies without previous permits.
Similar rites greeted the new era in neighboring Guatemala,
where Mayan spiritual leaders burned offerings and families danced in
celebration. Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina and Costa Rican
President Laura Chinchilla attended an official ceremony in the
department of Peten, along with thousands of revelers and artists. At an
indigenous South American summer solstice festival in Bolivia,
President Evo Morales arrived on a wooden raft to lead a festival that
made offerings to Pachamama, Mother Earth, on a small island in the
middle of Lake Titicaca.
The leftist leader and 3,000 others, including politicians,
indigenous shamans and activists of all stripes, didn't ponder the end
of the world, just the death of the capitalist system, which Morales told the crowd had already happened amid "a global financial,
political and moral crisis." "The human community is in danger because
of climatic reasons, which are related to the accumulation of wealth by
some countries and social groups," he told the crowd. "We need to change
the belief that having more is living better."
Despite all the pomp, no one is certain the period known as the Mayas' 13th Baktun officially ended Friday. Some think it may have happened at midnight. Others looked to Friday's
dawn here in the Maya heartland. Mexico's National Institute of
Anthropology and History even suggested historical calculations to
synchronize the Mayan and Western calendars might be off a few days. It
said the Mayan Long Count calendar cycle might not really end until Sunday.
One thing, however, became clear to many by Friday afternoon: The world had not ended.
John Hoopes, an assistant professor of anthropology
at the University of Kansas, was at the ruins, using the opportunity to
talk about how myths are created. "You don't have to go to the far
corners of the earth to look for exotic things, you've got them right
here," he noted. End-of-the-world paranoia, however, has spread globally
despite the insistence of archeologists and the Maya themselves that
the date meant no such thing.
Dozens of schools in Michigan canceled classes this week
amid rumors of violence tied to the date. In France, people expecting
doomsday were looking expectantly to a mountain in the Pyrenees where
they believe a hidden spaceship was waiting to spirit them away. And in
China, government authorities were cracking down on a fringe Christian
group spreading rumors about the world's end, while preaching that Jesus
had reappeared as a woman in central China.
Gabriel Romero, a Los Angeles-based spiritualist who uses crystal skulls
in his ceremonies, had no such illusions as he greeted the dawn at
Chichen Itza. "We'll still have to pay taxes next year," he said. As if
to put the final nail in the coffin of such rumors, Bob McMillan of the
University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory confirmed Friday
that no large asteroids are predicted to hit anytime soon. And Bill
Leith, a senior science adviser at the U.S. Geological Survey, noted
that as far as quakes, tsunamis and solar storms for the rest of the
day, "we don't have any evidence that anything is imminent."
Still, there were some who wouldn't truly feel safe until the Sun sets Friday
over the pyramids in the Yucatan peninsula, the heartland of the Maya.
Mexico's best-known seer, Antonio Vazquez Alba, known as "El Brujo
Mayor," said he had received emails with rumors that a mass suicide
might be planned in Argentina. He said he was sure that human nature
represented the only threat Friday. "Nature isn't going to do us any harm, but we can do damage to ourselves," he said.
Authorities worried about overcrowding and possible stampedes during celebrations Friday
at Mayan sites such as Chichen Itza and Uxmal, both about 1 1/2 hours
from Merida, the Yucatan state capital. Special police and guard details
were assigned to the pyramids. Yucatan Gov. Rolando Zapata said he for
one felt the growing good vibes, and not just because his state was
raking in loads of revenue from the thousands of celebrants flooding in.
"We believe that the beginning of a new baktun means the beginning of a
new era, and we're receiving it with great optimism," Zapata said.
