Mayan calendar end date, What's that all about? At the
end of 2012 the Maya left us knowledge encode in stone in Copan,
Tikal, Palenque with all the other beautiful sacred centres with
emphasis on Chichen Itza. To understand the way the ancients
communicated you have to understand
symbolism.
Symbolism to the ancients was their way of communication,
everything was symbolic, every rock, stone, branch, stream, cloud,
animal, insect was holy and sacred. Every expression had its
metaphor around them, above them and in the stars; as above so
below. The alignment of the stars the nodes of the moon all foretold
something.
In the distance past man was at peace with himself and one
with nature, man was telepathic. To explain something he would show
you a symbol, this you felt in your soul and you then grasped the
understanding. If we
study the great cultures of the past, the ancient civilizations we
find this to be true. The Egyptians used animals as a symbolic
meaning to teach. For pregnancy they would show a pregnant
hippopotamus, what could be more pregnant than that? But you had to
also understand the full meaning of pregnancy, the gestation, the
birth etc. The baboon
represents contemplation; look at a baboon the way appears to
contemplate for hours. Curiosity was represented by the cat, what
could be more curious than a cat? Could the cat also mean the one
who sees the light? If we study the vision of a cat we find that it
can see just as well in the night as it can in the day.
The Maya used the jaguar to represent knowledge, hidden
knowledge. The jaguar
also represented the night’s sky as the truth of what we see is
hidden. If we move on
to the Native American Indians we find the Lakota have also used
symbols of animals. In
our ancient past, even up to the last several hundred years, we find
humanity using symbols of nature as teachings. The Lakota used the
wolf as symbol representing teaching, the eagle as spirit. The Vedic
used the serpent, the cow etc. It was in the total understanding of
the particular animal, plant, tree, etc that the understanding came.
If we look at the wolf for instance, the way a wolf takes a mate and
keeps that mate for life, how the wolf looks after it’s pack, how
the wolf communicates though howling. Everything the wolf
represents is symbolic.
Now, if you look with open eyes at the past civilization you
will feel this understanding.
In the Mayan civilization, which I feel is undoubtedly the
oldest, the rattlesnake was the symbol used to represent their
civilization. It fits
perfectly with the T’zolkin, the Mayan calendar, the greatest
calendar mankind has ever made. Understanding the
rattlesnake totally will fill your soul full of understanding, love,
compassion, and wisdom for the great Mayan civilization of the
past. The work of Jose,
Diaz-Bolio is a must in understanding this treasure of
knowledge.
As we continue to explore symbolism we find everything is
symbolic to us.
You could say every ailment or disease that comes through man
is symbolic of a spiritual truth, which we seem to have forgotten.
Symbolically speaking, how does this story grab
you?
In
1952 on the isolated island of koshima, which is just off the coast
of Kyushu
man was studying the behaviour of the Japanese monkey (macaca
fuscata). Provision stations were established and selected sites
were chosen. It’s normal for monkeys to learn their feeding habits
off their mothers so with the establishment of the provision
stations, (artificial food supplies) the formidable behavioural
predispositions of the monkey were monitored. However, even with the
established repertoire of the monkeys, nothing enabled them to deal
with the raw sweet potatoes with sand and grit all over them.
Then, what they called a monkey genius called Imo, an 18
month old female solved the problem by carrying the potatoes down to
a nearby stream and washed them before feeding. Imo taught the trick to her
mother, she also taught it to her playmates, who then taught their
mothers.
Slowly but surely it spread through the colony until all the
juveniles were washing dirty food. The only adults over five
years old learnt to wash their food by imitating their
children.
Then, something happened that takes this story to another
level of understanding. An unspecified number of monkeys were
washing the potatoes, say 99 for instance, when the 100th monkey started washing the
potatoes something seemed to happen. That evening all the monkeys
on the colony were now washing the potatoes, now what you could call
the ‘critical mass’ had been reached, the knowledge seemed to spread
beyond physical communication. Monkeys on totally different islands
and even on the main land were washing their food. It was as if once a certain
number could do it, It was transferred into the “monkey
consciousness” and all the monkeys could do
it.
If you think of what this story involves, you had
Abstraction, Identification of concept, and deliberate manipulation
of several parameters in the environment. So symbolically speaking
as nature is our teacher what is this story telling us? Could it be
the obvious? Understanding symbolism and this story will fill your
soul full of joy.
So what do you make of the above? It’s pretty obvious how
stupid we have become in terms of this ancient sacred
knowledge. Let’s not
fool ourselves; we have become ignorant of the natural laws of the
universe. We have
forgotten how to love it as simple as that!
It all starts in our schools where we had to put many masks
on our hearts to protect the love we all have burning inside. As we go through puberty, as
teenagers, we feel the burning in our root chakra. This
burning is the kundalini trapped in the base chakra, our ignorance
is complete, and we are now trapped in the dense third dimension,
ignorant of the laws of the dimensions.
If we look at the lower dimensions 1st,
2nd and 3rd, we find different levels of
consciousness. For instance, looking at a one-dimensional being, the
snail for example, how would its perception be? I’m hot? I’m cold?
I’m hungry? I’m full? Does the snail perceive the leaf coming
towards him or does the snail realize he is moving towards the
leaf. It instinctively
avoids the dead leaf but feels the fresh leaf. Its entire world
could well be the single line in moves
on.
If we move to a two dimensional being all animals for
instance, they have a higher consciousness than one dimensional
beings. Take a cat for instance, we find if we observe it we see
that they are limited to a two dimensional reality.
It is quite possible that animals can perceive three
dimensions. If I hold a cube up to a cat and if a cat could answer
me and I asked the cat what is it? The cat would perceive it as
a flat object in space.
If I were to put my finger behind the cube moving it quickly
from left to right the cat would curiously watch the finger unaware
that it is my finger.
In fact, it may well attack the finger because of its
movement. It’s consciousness would not comprehend the truth.
If we move to the third dimension and I hold a cube up to you
and asked you ‘what is it?’ You would reply a cube. I would then ask you, ‘how
do you know that?’ Because you can only perceive three dimensions,
you can not see it as a cube, so as you look upon the cube your eyes
can only perceive three dimensions of the cube. You can not see the
back or bottom of the cube.
At this point your brain kicks in and tells you it’s a cube.
So we are three dimensional beings who can perceive four dimensions.
I know this is not a full explanation but I feel you will
grasp the full understanding simply by following this thought.
Now if you observe animals, insects etc and understand what I
have explained, especially by observing. you will then get a feeling
for what is going on.
We have to realize that we are magnetic beings. Like attracts
like. We are pulled together by the lessons we are learning. In a
sense it is easier if two work at it than one, but what inevitably
happens is we pull each other down.
Looking at mother earth, father sun, the planets, the stars,
take that thought to a fourth dimensional understanding and you will
begin to understand the purpose of humanity. A school of love maybe? That
would be a bit too simple I suppose.
So going back to the Mayan calendar end date what does it
mean?
It was a date the Mayan civilization left us to inform us of
the end of a great cycle.
If you study the Mayan civilization you will find they were
masters of time, they understood fully the movement of the heavens
and the purpose that they foretold, the nodes of the moon were also
important in their wisdom.
Day and night is a cycle, the 13 moons in a year is a cycle,
the seasons have a cycle, the years have a cycle, our sun has a
cycle, the planets have a cycle, the universe has a cycle. In all of this movement the
Maya plotted the evolution of man, the falls in consciousness, they
say 2012 will be a raising of consciousness for those who are ready,
for those who have done work on the inner self. So in 2012 they say
it is the great cycle that will close, the zodiacal precisional
cycle will be coming to a close but an even grander cycle will come
to a close.
Everything in nature is a clue to the enigmas of life and the
universe. You have to understand their meanings. Symbolism is the key. How
does good healthy water flow? How does our earth and the planets
move following our sun?
It’s all the same, everything in nature explains our purpose
and we just have to open our eyes and our heart to understand.
There is the mysterious centre that keeps all the stars in
orbit around itself.
This centre, that science knows so little of as yet, is
located with respect to our sun and planets in the direction of the
constellation Hercules (zodiacal sign Capricorn). Slowly, at the rate of 12
miles per second our sun orbits around and moves closer to this
‘Solar Apex’, as it is called.
That is, at the end of December, each year, the earth is
directly behind the sun with respect to this great void, our solar
system with our planet is being drawn closer to this colossal
magnet. Therefore, the
end date has a colossal meaning for humanity.
Going back to the dimensions and the different levels of
consciousness we can observe, we know we can perceive the fourth
dimension, but we can not see it using our eyes. We have to use our
minds eye.
At this time, we are given the means whereby we can know the
so-called esoteric truth of our system and its evolution, and the
part the earth plays therein, as well as each of its inhabitants. We
can go so far as to know that there is a great centre to which we in
our system are related and which determines our course, because it
is this centre, that finally holds the key to the precession of the
equinoxes. It is this
centre that makes the axis Capricorn and Cancer the evolutionary
axis of our planet and through our study we can know that in
ourselves, in our very bodies, we can find the exact reproduction of
this galaxy, which then gives us the revelation of the supreme
herself.
If we go back in time before kali-yuga (kali-yuga is when the
sun is farthest from the galactical centre. Then what the Vedic call
dharma…the mental virtue comes to such a reduced state that mankind
cannot grasp anything beyond the gross material creation. The grand
centre is called Brahma) we find the Greeks still held the ancient
sacred knowledge expressed symbolically.
Hence we could say the truth was lost to mankind in the age
of kali-yuga. The truth in a sense had to go underground, now we are
rising out of kali-yuga and the truth of our past is being revealed
to us.
What are you personally going to do with this knowledge?
You should begin to bring ceremony into your lives, learn the
colours of the four directions, pray to our ancestors for
guidance. Learn the
meanings of colours, feel the rhythm of mantras and chanting, feel
the heartbeat of the drum, let the flute carry you into remembrance.
Crazy Horse (1842 – 1877) said these words as he sat smoking
the peace pipe for the last time, 4 days before he was to be
assassinated with sitting
bull.
They shall return my friend. They will return again all over
the earth. They are returning again. Ancient beings of the earth,
ancient songs of the earth. I give them to you and through them you
will understand, you will see. They are returning again, upon the
earth.
Upon suffering beyond suffering, the red nation shall rise
again. It will be a blessing
for a sick world, a world longing for the light again.
I see a time, long after the sky’s have grown dark and dirty and the
water has become bad smelling. I see a time of seven generations
when all the colours of mankind will gather under the sacred tree of
life and one whole earth will become one circle again. I salute the
light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells. For when you
are at that centre within you and I within mine, we shall be as
one.
