View Full Version : Mayan Calendar/End of the world

2008-04-24, 08:43 PM
The sacred Aztec calendar is properly called the Eagle Bowl. It represents the solar deity Tonatiuh. The amazingly accurate calendar has been in use in various forms for more than 2,000 years. A Zapotec prophecy, based on the Eagle Bowl, states:

“After Thirteen Heavens of Decreasing Choice, and Nine Hells of Increasing Doom, the Tree of Life shall blossom with a fruit never before known in the creation, and that fruit shall be the New Spirit of Men.”

The 13 Heavens and 9 Hells were each 52 years long (1,144 years total). Each of the 9 Hells were to be worse than the last. On the final day of the last Hell (August 17, 1987), Tezcatlipoca, god of death, would remove his mask of jade to reveal himself as Quetzelcoatl, god of peace.

In the mythology of the Aztecs, the first age of mankind ended with the animals devouring humans. The second age was finished by wind, the third by fire, and the fourth by water. The present fifth epoch is called Nahui-Olin (Sun of Earthquake), which began in 3113 BC and will end on December 24, 2011. It will be the last destruction of human existence on Earth. The date coincides closely with that determined by the brothers McKenna in The Invisible Landscape as “the end of history” indicated by their computer analysis of the ancient Chinese oracle-calendar, the I Ching.

The Mayan calendar is divided into Seven Ages of Man. The fourth epoch ended in August 1987. The Mayan calendar comes to an end on Sunday, December 23, 2012. Only a few people will survive the catastrophe that ensues. In the fifth age, humanity will realize its spiritual destiny. In the sixth age, we will realize God within ourselves, and in the seventh age we will become so spiritual that we will be telepathic.

Brian Scott's Host says:

"I come December 24, 2011 A.D. - A.E. given in rapport,
Seek the past, key to earth truth of wisdom, Past, Gate of Sun-
Tiahuanaco. Requested of this of I. Transportation. Physical.
Of this I say: ascension via Titicaca, reference; Tiahuanaco,
Decension, Helios

"Through the eyes of one man, all mankind will see."

Brian was told to "fear not."

Family, friends and UFO investigators experienced paranormal events from 1971 to 1975. Then the author became involved and documented Brian's transformation continuously, on a daily basis, from 1976 to March of 1980. In 1980, after Brian was acknowledged at the White House by President Jimmy Carter, and after Brian's invention, the NOR X1-11 was given to a university for Neural-Optical Research, the story ended -- declared a success. All paranormal events stopped, Brian went to work in the aerospace industry as a designer/draftsman and the Transformation of America began .

The words given to man --
Nous Laos Hikanos

(The God-Mind Returns to Common Man)

The canonical dates (according to Ehran the Scribe) on the ends of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth worlds are August 12, 3113 BCE (the fall of Atlantis), December 24, 2011 CE (the appearance of Ryumyo), and April 4, 7137 CE. This gives 5123-5125 years per mana cycle [1,871,270 days for the Fifth World’s duration, and 1,871,969 for the Sixth World’s]. The Mayan Long Count suggests 1.872M days, or 5125.36 years. It also seems that Ehran’s dates are a year late (0.0.0.0.0 should be August 11 or 12, 3114 BCE— the astronomical year –3113) and a year early (13.0.0.0.0 corresponds to December 21 or 23, 2012).
Q - According to Mayan calculations, when (in our calendar) is the world due to end?

The end of the Mayan Great Cycle after the completion of the 12th Bak'tum. It’s either the 21st or 23rd December, 2012 depending on whether you use the 584,285 or 584,283 correlation coefficient.

December 23, 2012. I can't believe I actually remember this. I would go so far as to say that I am ashamed to know this.

On the last day.

It has already happened, at least for the Mayans.

According to Mayan calculations, the current cycle of the world is due to end in December 2012. There is some disagreement over whether the end of the current cycle of the world will involve the end of the world itself.

Ehran the Scribe: The Mayan calendar is the most amazing, as it contains a complete description of the magic cycles, including this current crossing of the Threshold. The Mayan calendar was created in the year 3372 BC (using the Christian calendar), just at the end of the last cycle. The Mayans described the cycles as "worlds", and stated that only certain life forms made the transition from one world to the next. The calendar, written over 5,000 years ago, predicted the exact day the Threshold Level would be passed. If we convert the Mayan dates to the current Christian calendar, it correctly states that the Threshold would be passed on December 24, 2011. On that day, the first Great Dragon was seen in Japan. The precision is amazing.

Atlantis sank on August 12, 3113 BC, thus marking the end of the Fourth World and the beginning of the Fifth. The Sixth World began on December 12, 2011 AD, and will end, according to the Mayan calendar, on April 4, 7137 AD.

We have the intervening time to enjoy what the Great Mother gives us and to use responsibly the double-edged sword of technology that our Human cousins have created. We must use both the energy of nature and the power of technology to try to fix the damage done by our short-lived relatives.

David Wilcock says: Clearly, the Maya put a great deal of work into this cycle, and it appears that they were warning us that this cycle causes periodic, massive cataclysms. The more we find out about this cycle, the more we want to know when it will be. Then we know that we can stop going to work, put on a pair of shorts, sit out and relax in a lawn chair and wait for the end of time, quietly sipping a lemonade [or perhaps something a lot stronger.] And the near - unanimous conclusion is that the end date is December 12, 2012.

2012. There you go - the sun shifts, the earth shifts, and the most expensive resort hotels in the world are booked out ten years in advance for that fateful night. But something doesn’t feel quite right. The multitudes of intuitive predictions that we already discussed seem to center on 2000. 2012 seems relatively close, time - wise, to these predictions, but yet that date was never mentioned in any of them. It appears, based on other sources of prophecy, to be out of sync. "Oh well," we say, "we’ve got twelve more years to worry, futz around and prepare for this thing." But again, the pieces don’t seem to fit.

True, the champions of the 12 / 12 / 12 school [December 12, 2012] make arguments that appear to be logical. There are, in fact, bits and pieces of evidence that loosely fit into this date as accurate, such as the approximate time for the turning from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius as 2011. In addition, Cotterell demonstrates how the planet Venus behaves in very unique ways at both the beginning and the ending of the commonly used set of dates. This has to do with the rising of Venus on the horizon at dawn during a certain specific time of the year. Cotterell demonstrates this to be a profoundly symbolic event to the Mayans, known as the "Birth of Venus." We also have some researchers such as Terence Mc Kenna who claim that Earth comes into alignment with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy at this date, and that linear time breaks down at that point.

ALL ABOUT 2012

Based on a True Story
A New Framework for Understanding Mankind
The Archetypal Transformational Drama of Our Age

Come forth all those who seek knowledge,
for these are the Days of Truth.
Look to the East has Come --
A New Beginning for All Mankind.

Brian Scott, born in 1943, was chosen for "Transformation"
by The Host, an Old Man with white hair known as the religious leader
of God's Other Children.
Brian agreed to accept a "Quantum (sudden) evolution to mind level Ten" in 1971, when he was 29.
He believed that this process, called The Play of Life, TM
would somehow save mankind from destruction,
but he knew few details.

The Host's Play of Life began in 1971 and will end
on December 24, 2011 AD--a 40 year term. This time period is also
the "tenth and final descent of Voltar's People."

Brian was asked to visit sites in South America. He found

A Story in Stone
Carved Thousands of Years Ago And
Repeated Again Today in Modern Form by him.
He was stunned and frightened at first, but gradually
accepted his role in the Host's Play of Life TM
"The Knowledge man needs Today is of the Past.
What is done today,
has been done before.
Man succeeded in the past, and will succeed again!"

During the Play of Life process, Brian learned that he was repeating
events that had been enacted previously in South America by
another common man - Ticci Viracocha, a god to the Inca.
Brian visited sites in South America and saw knowledge of the past.
Though frightened, he finally accepted the Transformation
(Quantum Evolution to Mind Level 4)
and he gradually understood why he had been Marked
so that "All mankind would know him"
by Spider and Jaguar symbols on his arms.
He learned that these ancient symbols were known to the Incan people
as traits of their god - Ticci Viracocha
He was also marked by a number in the palm of his right hand.

020-020-020

Brian met the Host on a craft, and then found the Old Man's image carved on a stone in South America.
He also met long-eared giants on the craft, and found their statues in South America. He even was shown rock carvings of dome headed aliens who opposed the Host's, Play of Life and he met them on a different type of craft.

Brian was caught in the conflict between two groups. Brian met first the Host from "Time Beyond all Time,
and Voltar--the leader of a handsome people with red and blond hair. They had long ago interacted with earth and our "Secondary World" of aliens with big domed heads and black eyes. Voltar and his people felt that man was being manipulated by the Secondary World aliens, and planned to use Brian in a test project to free mankind
from the "Secondary World" aliens and their plan to exterminate mankind beginning on
December 24th, 2011.

The Host and Voltar wanted to prove that the "Common Man" of Earth could evolve quickly to a higher level
of mind, and then maintain the Transformation without falling downwards, or turning evil! Brian was the test subject!
But Voltar's people had to follow conditions set by the dome-headed black-eyed aliens. Every step was "conditional."
Despite numerous attacks by the Secondary World aliens for breaking the rules and conditions, Brian succeeded. Voltar's people triumphed over the "Secondary World of Man," and in March of 1980, the black eyed Aliens were supposedly restricted from interfering with man's progress for at least 22 years. Brian was just the first, many more were to follow as examples for mankind. The transformation process was to continue from the individual, to the nation, to the world, similar to how the Greeks of 454 B.C. eventually helped create a "New World."

[Editor's Note: A Group of Grey aliens was forced to leave the Earth in 1996 by the other groups of aliens who were here to help mankind as they could. However, there are many treaties being made and broken by the aliens, even now. ]

That was a very asinine comment there. The Mayans, to some extent, are still around through the current inhabitants of the regions they once lived in thanks to the Spanish mixing blood with the ones they didn't ruthlessly slaughter or give smallpox to just for their fucking gold and to, y'know, Christianize them.

And as for the whole "How can you prove this whole end of the world is hogwash" question, I will put it simply: People have been predicting the end of the world for a very, very long time, since before Jesus. Besides, it really isn't the end of the world according to their calendar. It's actually the end of an age, which means a new one will probably begin, thus negating, really, that the world is ending. They probably didn't have a real chance to come up with more ages past 2012 because of whatever reason, be it the stars weren't yielding what they needed or, y'know, the fucking Spanish bastards.

Coriander
2008-04-25, 06:05 PM
True, But also keep in the mind that the world ending is Inevitable. We are just a star, and stars lifespans, As long as they are, Aren't infinite. True it will most likely be a long way off, But it will end at some point. And that was an intereting read Kagom.

Thank you! And yes, the world will eventually one day be destroyed however it is meant to be, whether a manmade thing or the sun engulfs us or Jesus comes back riding Muhammed like he's a donkey through the fires of hell in Jerusalem's Palestine.

Wallow
2008-04-26, 08:49 AM
I think the world won't be destroyed, but cleansed of the corruption. The world will be destroyed when the Milky Way collides with the galaxy (I forget the name) that is approaching us, though that will happen in a couple of million years.

True as that first part may be, almost every one of them I personally know believes this end-of-world shit, or at least entertains the possibility. It makes no sense to me why they would pick this over organized religion, as a practiced religion has more likelihood of being true than a coincidence of Armageddon on the date the Mayans stopped their calendars.

They just want something to believe in, I think.

I'd like to put this post in context for you guys, in case any of you are new. This fellow is an inflammatory son of a bitch whose promiscuity and ignorance is only surpassed by his apathy for your feelings. If you wish to believe in something there is nothing wrong with it. There is no way to disprove or prove the existence of a higher being (at least currently.)

Kaneda, why don't you go tend to your child before Klo bitch slaps you? Thanks.

P.S. Thankfully not all atheists share your behavior. You gave guys everywhere a bad name with your old lifestyle and although being a (hopefully ...although I'm doubting it) GOOD father figure is a path to redemption, you still have a very checkered past. I daresay it is hypocritical for you, a guy who can't keep his dick in his pants, to call anyone else weak, and it is laughable. LOLLOLOLOLOL. Sorry.

Atnas
2008-05-01, 04:49 PM
It's because human nature is to try to explain the unexplainable and to be narcissistic, that religions such as Judaism, Islam, or Christianity came into practice.

Those that require the utmost faith with no noticeable effects save the normal meditative status which comes when praying. Note that normal meditation puts your brain in the same state as fervent prayer does. There needs be no deity.

I am a theist, one who believes that dogmatism is a wrong practice. I merely do not believe these shenanigans the middle east threw at us to pray for. I credit the eastern religions as a more valid form of religious practice. These religions which do not need blind faith to achieve no goal, save for the faith required for the inexpressible bliss one feels when they learn to let it all go, to accept what happens, and to count yourself as one of the many whole.

Wallow
2008-05-01, 05:22 PM
Nice speech
Remember people also believe in certain religions because they were raised in them, so that's all they know. Also, religion in a way justifies different motives and morals. For example, the suicide bombers of 9/11 committed those atrocities because they thought they would be rewarded in the "afterlife" because of it.

Religion does not justify one to supposedly fly planes into buildings, nor does it justify a gruesome Crusade. One that follows blindly has no excuse, as at any moment if they lift the veil from their eyes they may see how they have been deluded.

Except, I'm open to Islam to being the "One true faith" as much as I am Catholicism or Judaism or there being no underlying plan or working, and everything just is, or perhaps this reality is the absence of existence.

I can't verify anything for certain, but I do know for a fact that religious groups have conflicts which result in unfavorable outcomes, ones that the world could do without. That is why I presume a world without dogmatism, whether it be from Jews or Scientists, would be closer to an ideal than our currently religiously diverse one.

The Earth will someday cease to exist. Period.

Assuming mankind is still around, either terra-bound or interstellar-based, it doesn't matter what the event is or when it happens, every religious group will say "I told you so" with some very loosely interprated texts or teachings.

Meanwhile - those of us who are sane - will realize it's just an asteroid, galaxy collision, sun implosion, etc, that is bound to happen through chance or time.

You can't say that for sure. I think it just comforts you to reassure yourself that everything will be good and fine in 4 years.

Everything isn't good and fine now, let alone 4 years from now. However, a change in the executive branch will help a lot :D.

We'll be here in 4 years. Probably will continue on past 5, 6, etc.

It's just something that some strange person out there noticed. It wont happen.

That's funny, my cousin kept throwing death proclomations at me when he was busy ranting due to the lack of brain cells he has. I think it's incredibly stupid, the world's going to end one day that's for sure, but bloody hell it isn't going to end in my lifetime if I can help it.

I dont believe it so much just because, in my christian faith, we were told that we wouldnt know the day. I think it will come at a time none of us are expecting. lol. I will admit though, this mayan stuff is scary. They made some predictions that were dead on accurate.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned my favorite Doomsday toy yet?


The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) that lies under the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC is in the final stages of construction and commissioning, with some sections already being cooled down to their final operating temperature of approximately 2K.

The first beams are due for injection mid June 2008 with the first collisions planned to take place 2 months later. The LHC will become the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. The LHC is being funded and built in collaboration with over two thousand physicists from thirty-four countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories.

[...]

In addition to the Higgs boson, other theorized novel particles that might be produced, and for which searches are planned, include strangelets, micro black holes, magnetic monopoles and supersymmetric particles.

[...]

Concerns have been raised that performing collisions at previously unexplored energies might unleash new and disastrous phenomena. These include the production of micro black holes, and strangelets, potentially resulting in a doomsday scenario. Such issues were raised in connection with the RHIC accelerator, both in the media and in the scientific community; however, after detailed studies, scientists reached such conclusions as "beyond reasonable doubt, heavy-ion experiments at RHIC will not endanger our planet" and that there is "powerful empirical evidence against the possibility of dangerous strangelet production."

[...]

The risk of a doomsday scenario was indicated by Sir Martin Rees, with respect to the RHIC, as being at least a 1 in 50,000,000 chance.



Essentially, the LHC will recreate the conditions seen directly after the Big Bang by hypothetically producing a "God particle"; the only elementary particle in the standard model of partiticle physics which we have not yet observed. Whether or not it appears, the results may answer one of our most fundamental questions: How was the universe created? What else have we got? Oh yeah:

Professor Dr. Otto E. Rössler warns that the scientific community claims the success of the experiment may result in the black hole destroying the planet within 50 million years. His own calculations indicate that this time frame may in fact be closer to 50 months.


Let's see; 50 months after either the point in time in which the machine will be started (June 2008), or after the first particle collisions will occur (August 2008) implies that the hypothetical end of the world scenario will reach its state of completion in August to October, 2012.

After the CERN machine is built, it will be the first time in the history of mankind [that] black holes on earth can be produced.

It is, however, very [difficult] to attack it. Almost the entire scientific community stands behind it.

While I am skeptical about doomsday scenarios, I must admit it would be an elegant end of mankind. Man masters science. Man finds "God particle" that created the universe as we know it. Mankind is annihilated as predicted. Nothing gained, nothing lost. Time repeats itself.


"Heaven lasts long, and Earth abides
What is the secret of their durability?
Is it because they do not live for themselves
That they endure so long?"

I am still skeptical. But I've my own reasons.

Something big is definately going to happen soon. I can almost feel it. Don't know about the end of the world, but something is going to happen.

Excellent post Chruser. I agree with you for the most part, that would be a brilliant summary of Mankind to finally evolve technologically to the point where we find out how we were created, and destroy ourselves while doing it. Brilliant! And at the same time depressing. But in all honesty I doubt anything will happen, I just hope everything goes as planned and we can build from this research and that all of these hypothetical situations are just that, hypothetical.
