reset =/= end, that much is true...
But it'll be interesting to watch the beginning of a new cycle on the mayan calender.

I do not believe the world will end in 2012.
According to the signs and portents, what will happen instead is what would best be described as a Paradigm Shift: a change in the way that magic works as well as the means by which we perceive reality. Whether or not this will be a good thing or a bad one depends on how people perceive these changes and how they react to them.

-----The 2012 Prophecies-----

One question that frequently arises is that of the year 2012.

Many people will have heard that December 21 2012 is a day of great
significance, mostly in the context of that date being the very end
of the Mayan calendar and everything that implies.

The big question on the minds of most people is "what is the
significance of this date"? What will happen to Earth? What will
happen to all of us?

This is a huge subject, and one that goes way beyond the scope of
this newsletter. However, it is also an extremely important
subject, and one that I will be focusing on through various
resources in the future. Today however we will take a look at some
of the basics surrounding 2012.

What is the real significance of December 21 2012?

The reason this date has become so well-known is because it is the
date that represents the "end of the Mayan calendar".

Why is this so important?

It is important because the Mayan's, like many of the ancient races
of millennia ago, were in fact extremely advanced in many areas. By
"advanced" we do not necessarily mean in terms of "technology",
which in itself does not mean advancement at all, but as
astronomers, mathematicians and builders; among other things.

Like the ancient Egyptians, to whom they were almost certainly
related at some time, probably linked through the legendary
continent of Atlantis, which is not actually a legend, the Mayans
built the most amazing structures that defy explanation; being
beyond beyond the capabilities of so called "modern man.

The Mayans were also incredible observers, mathematicians, and
keepers of ancient and sacred knowledge. Using these abilities they
were able to construct calendars which not only chart time, but
also charted the cosmos, and forthcoming great world events.

We know that such an event, perhaps even the final event, is to
take place on December 21 2012. The big question is what?

This is a question that will be addressed in the future both here
and through other resources which will be announced in due course.
Only be endeavouring to fully understand 2012 and putting it into
the right context can we be fully prepared for this event.

In fact; there are three major issues that we need to consider and
to face in the next few years. These are:

1. December 21 2012
2. Earth planetary changes
3. The agenda of terrestrial and extra-terrestrial factions

Although at first glance these might seem separate, they are in
fact linked in various ways.

But today let us take a look at some of the very basics of 2012.

The ancient Mayans had many advanced abilities and most
importantly ancient knowledge, probably oroginating from sources
that are not immediately apparent at this time. Among these
abilities were mathematics, astronomy, and prophecy based upon past
world and astronomical events.

The Mayans knew that nothing ever happens by "chance" in the
Universe, even though it often seems like it from a narrow human,
temporal experiential perspective. The Mayans knew that everything
happens in cycles of varying lengths, cycles that correspond
precisely to past and future cosmic and world events.

Many of these events are the result of the one factor common to
everything in the Universe without exception; Energy, which can
manifest at any level from the Universal to the individual.

This is why Astrology, and I do not mean the "horoscopes" of the
tabloids, I mean genuine astrology, is so significant, charting as
it does the effects of a confluence of Energy being prevalent at the
time of arrival on Earth, and which has so much influence over our
physical life. Energy is everything!

The ancient Maya knew this, and were able to observe the effects of
these confluences and events, and thus, with their seemingly
amazing mathematical abilities, track future events.

The Maya had several calendars of varying lengths, the most
significant of which were the "Short Count" and the "Long Count".

The Short Count is compiled by combining the "tzolkin cycle" with
the solar year and the Venus cycle of 584 days, thus generating
short periods of 13, 52 and 104 years.

It is however the "Long Count" cycle that is of the most interest,
the end of which is also the end of all Mayan calendars.

The Long Count is derived from nested cycles of days multiplied at
each level by the key Mayan number, 20, resulting in the
following periods:

1 Kin which is a day
20 Uinal
360 Tun
7200 Katun
144000 Baktun

The only deviation to multiplying by 20 is the tun level
where the uinal period is instead multiplied by 18 for the 360 day
tun.

The Maya used this counting system to track an unbroken sequence of
days from the time it was inaugurated.

Long Count dates are separated by dots. For example: 6.19.19.0.0
equals 6 baktuns, 19 katuns, 19 tuns, 0 uinals and 0 days. Each
baktun has 144000 days, each katun has 7200 days, and so on.

If we add up all the values, 6.19.19.0.0 indicates a total of
1007640 days have elapsed since the Zero Date of 0.0.0.0.0. The
much discussed 13-baktun cycle is completed 1872000 days, 13
baktuns, after 0.0.0.0.0. This period of time is the Mayan "Great
Cycle" of the Long Count.

Each Baktun has corresponded with a major cycle on Earth,
which are too extensive and complex to go into here. Suffice it to
say that The 13 baktuns and 20 katuns collectively represent a
perfect fractal of the 260 unit 4th dimensional timing matrix
spread out as a chronotopology that we simply call "history".

Each katun represents one of 260 kin. The baktuns represent a set
of morphogenetic fields, each with 20 lesser waves rising in a
pitch of climax during the 13th and final baktun 1620 CE to 2012 CE.

This final baktun represents the time where, driven my the ego,
materialism and money, "history" and therefore mankind has reached
a saturation point, where "history" simply has nowhere else to go.
And it is this event that was always charted precisely by the Mayan
Long Count calendar to coincide with the end of this great cycle.

Historically it can be demonstrated that every quarter of the long
cycle, approximately every 6400 years, there has been a major
catastrophic Earth event for the last three such quarters. These
include great floods, earthquakes, and other global events. Such
events are documented as the "great flood", the destruction of
Atlantis, etc.. The final quarter is December 21, 2012.

It should also be mentioned that other mathematical systems,
notably the Chinese I-Ching, which was also once used as a
calendrical system, also point to the year 2012, as do other lesser
known systems it seems.

So these are the calendrical and mathematical considerations, but
there are other considerations.

On December 21, 2012 there will be a galactic alignment of the
"galactic equator", and what the Mayans refer to as "The Sacred
Tree", with our star, the Sun, at the very centre of this alignment.

This in itself is no coincidence. This alignment has on our solar
system astrological, astronomical and Universal considerations, and
in particular the corresponding Energy effects both on Earth and
indeed the entire solar system.

So that, in extremely basic terms in the interest of keeping it
simple for now is the basics of the math and associated events from
a historical and chronological perspective relative to the Earth
space-time continuum.

The question is; what does it all really mean for us?

The honest answer is we do not really know at this stage at least
in the process, although I and others are very much tracking it.

There is however too much data and historical evidence to conclude
that nothing will happen. The only question is in what form will it
take; the possibilities including physical, Energy or Spiritual, or
indeed a combination of of all of these.

If we look at solid evidence we can observe the following factors:

Schumann Cavity Resonance: The Schumann Resonance can be likened to
the "heartbeat" of Earth. Scientifically it is due to the space
between the surface of the Earth and the conductive ionosphere
acting as a waveguide. The limited dimensions of the earth cause
this waveguide to act as a resonant cavity for electromagnetic
waves in the extra low frequency ELF band.

Historically the Schumann Resonance has held steady at a frequeny
of around 7.83Hz, however in recent years Schumann Resonance has
increased to as high as 12Hz, the highest possible believed to be
13Hz.

Earth Magnetic Field: The magnetic field of the earth gives rise to
the magnetic poles as used for navigation purposes. This magnetic
effect is caused by Earth behaving like a giant elecro-magnet
caused by the molten iron core and the rotation of the Earth.

The magnetic field of Earth has been progressively reducing over the
years, and in fact appear to be doing so proportional to Schumann
Resonance although they may not be directly connected.

Evidence of this can be seen by the fact that some sea mammals such
as dolphins, porpoises an whales use the magnetic poles for
navigation purposes, and there has been a large increase in these
creatures going off-course and beaching themselves.

Finally, extinctions of species on Earth is 100 to 1000 times
higher than the historical average, being greater than at any time
in fact since the last dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago.

So what does the future hold for us?

The truth is we still do not know. Everything I have summarised
today could be a series of coincidences or they could all converge
to point to some major world event. We just do not know and there
is certainly no value in speculation.

It would be totally inappropriate to state for example, as some
are, that "the world will end in 2012". The entire scenario is far
too complex to make sweeping, dogmatic statements of that nature.

Although some event seems likely, we do not know the scale of such
an event, how it will manifest or how it will affect the planet,
humans and all life, or how long the entire process will take.

One thing we do know beyond all doubt is that everyone will survive
and be the better for the experience; the only question is in what
form,
physical, Astral or Spiritual.

One thing is clear however, everyone has a window of opportunity to
change for the better. The next few years could be spent evaluating
your life, your relationship with fellow man, animals and the
planet, and then taking the appropriate steps to become as aligned
and prepared as possible for any coming events.

Earth has been a major learning opportunity, an opportunity to
evolve. if, and I do say if the physical planet is to come to an
end, then what happens next on an individual level will depend
entirely on where you are Spiritually at that precise time.
Consequently there has never been a better time to place yourself
in the best possible light in preparation for whatever is to come.

This is one of the major reason I wrote Our Ultimate Reality, which
sets out these vital steps.

Again though, and this is most important,every single person
will survive. We are all immortal, Divine Beings, aspects of the
Supreme Being, and our true destiny is far greater than the
temporal learning experience of this planet we call "Earth", our
lives upon which are as the blink of an eye in comparison to all
eternity.

Everyone, sooner or later, regardless of this Earth event we call
"2012" will move on to sphere of life and reality that are glorious
beyond the remotest comprehension of Earthly man, and that is the
true destiny and objective of everyone on the sacred path back to
The Source, The Prime Creator, some simply call "God".

Above all approach the future with joy, faith and sincere gratitude
for our Earth experiences.

And always know that there is nothing to fear but fear itself; so
be fearless; all will be well.


I got this in a newsletter from the author of a book called Our Ultimate Reality" His name is Adrian, and though most of his ideas are stolen from other faiths, this is the best explanation I've ever read. Disregard the word "God", hes annoying with that.

I just went to Mexico and visited a famous Mayan Temple so I asked our guide about that. She said not to believe it. It just wasn't kept up, the calandar doesn't end there, it just ends on this cycle or something.
