The
Maya Calendar is probably one of the most cited sources for the end
of world scenario or other great changes occuring in 2012. There are
several detractors from this theory, which is based on the Maya Long
Count, a cycle of 1,872,000 days.
Return
to Awareness - A message from Carlos Barrios "
... The period that opened on the 9th of August 2008, is a cycle started
at 8 Kan which is the manifestation of material energy (it activates
the last phase of material energy on Mother Earth and human beings
and it will end on December 20-2012) . We are working every day with
ceremonies to balance the energies and touch the heart of mother earth;
this cycle of work will end on the 4th. of September, the beginning
of the Sacred Maya New Year. The
goal of the Ceremonies we are making is to create balance in life,
our attention and intention is focused in reestablishing the world’s
economy, even as at this moment it is not fair or adequate since it
is based on materialism which is the prevailing form and humanity
is not yet ready for the new socioeconomic order. The rise in the
price of oil and bankruptcy of the banking system is raising the prices
of the products which are necessary for survival and creating more
poverty, for which we ask you as well to focus your energy and mind
power for humanity to return to a balance ..." thenewhumanity.blogspot.com

for 25 years since the age of 19, he has also became a Mayan Ajq'ij,
a ceremonial priest and spiritual guide, Eagle Clan .... Other people
write about prophecy in the name of the Maya. They say that the world

now, and it will continue to accelerate.' If the people of the earth
can get to this 2012 date in good shape, without having destroyed
too much of the Earth, Mr. Barrios said, we will rise to a new, higher

Pakal Trilogy "On
August 22, 2004, Pakal received the last spiritual revelation ...
According to the synchronicity of his Mayan time on Earth, at the
end of his learning cycle, Pakal initiates the action cycle in which
he emerges as one of the Time Witnesses and opens Xibalba for his
ascension and transformation of the planet. In
Pakal's vision and words, he says, "it is possible to survive
Death for the existing and future generations and preserve your soul
in infinite time according to the physical Law of Conservation of
Energy." He further explains, " the human race has misunderstood
the process of Death due to religious traditions and creation of burial
rituals that are incorrect in many ways. The main principle has not
been applied or forgotten through many centuries. New technology and
courageous ideas are necessary to prove the existence of our reincarnation
process." ...

first person to comment on the relation of the Mayan Great Cycle end
date with the winter soltice in December 2012 was not Jose Arguelles
(The Mayan Factor) or Terence McKenna (Novelty Theory) or John Major
Jenkins (Galactic Alignment), but Professor Victoria Bricker of Tulane
University, an academic Maya epigrapher who was included by Munro
Edmonson (1924-2002) in “The Book of the Year: Middle American
Calendrical Systems” (1988). The decipherment of the Maya calendar
were first discovered in 1880, and again in 1892, anthropologist Ernst

The
Mayan Calendar - the website of Carl Johan Calleman "The
Mayan Time Science describes energy changes in Cosmic history and
is our most valuable tool for charting the future. This site outlines
the underlying basis for this calendar, the very foundation of prophecy
.... Time, in fact, is speeding up as we transition from the materialist
Planetary Underworld that still governs us to a new and higher frequency
of consciousness, the Galactic Underworld, in preparation for the
final Universal level of conscious Enlightenment. The
Mayan calendar is thus a spiritual device that enables a greater understanding
of the evolution of consciousness driving human history and the concrete
steps we can take to align ourselves with this cosmic evolution toward
Enlightenment." (site

excited about first movie in their language
Describes
the Mayan reaction to Mel Gibson's movie, Apolcalypto.
"Mauricio Amuy, a non-Maya actor
who participated in the filming of Apocalypto, says the production
staff discussed the (2012)theory on the set. “We know the Bible
talks about prophecies, and that the Mayas spoke of a change of energy
on Dec. 22, 2012, and it (the movie) is somewhat focused on that,”
Amuy said. “People should perhaps take that theory and reflect,
and not do these things that are destroying humanity.” Posted

Astronomy
Answers 21 December 2012 An
astronomical approach to the Mayan end date which argues against it
being a date of any signficance. The author of the article says: "I
think that the beginning of a new period in the Long Count of the Maya
in 2012 is just as unimportant as the 6000th anniversary of the Biblical
creation date (celebrated in 1996), or the planetary conjunction of
May 2000, or all kinds of past dates for which the end of the world
had been predicted. Someone who did not hear about the prediction in
advance would not have noticed anything special on those dates, and
I predict that December 2012 will be like that as well.
The
only effects that can be expected associated with the conjunction
of 21 December 2012 have to do with the attention that people draw
to that conjunction and date. If people expect that unusual things
will happen on a certain date, then on that date they'll behave differently
than usual, and that in itself is already an unusual thing. In this
way they can fulfill their own expectations."
