Cusp Of Great Cycle

Galactic Synchronization; Jose Arguelles says in his book TheMayan Factor, the 5125-year Great Cycle marks Earth's passage througha " resonant frequency synchronisation beam", which will prepareEarth and humanity for an ascension, or evolutionary leap to the nextdimension."The Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will cometo an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Ageinto another. The message they give concerns our making a choice ofhow we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with eitherresistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition willhappen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. Thesame theme can be found reflected in the prophecies of many otherNative American visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear." - JosephRobert Jochmans3rd Rare White Buffalo Born on Wisconsin FarmFri Nov 23 14:19:00 2007Map of Mayan Civilization centresCusp Of Great CycleWe are living today in the cusp of the Mayan end times, the end of agalactic day or time period spanning thousands of years. One galacticday of 25,625 years is divided into five cycles of 5,125 years.The Great Cycle of the Mayan Long Count calendar ends on the wintersolstice of 2012 A.D. Following Mayan concepts of cyclic time andWorld Age transitions, this is as much about beginnings as endings.In fact, it was considered by the ancient Mayans to signify thecreation of a new World Age. We are almost at the end of the fifthand final 5,125 year cycle!Mayan Prophecy 2012: Entering Our Galactic DayMany of us are aware of the Mayan calendar but not many people trulyunderstand what it means and how it works. Yes the calendar does endon December 21, 2012, but what does that mean? How does it come tothat? What is their calendar based off of?The Mayans had a very precise understanding of our solar system'scycles and believed that these cycles coincided with our spiritualand collective consciousness. The most significant of which has muchto do with the 2012 prophecies. In the following writing, we willwalk through the main details of their prophecies surrounding the2012 transition. How the transition takes place (from an astronomicalperspective), what it means for us, and when the cycles take place.We'll start with the basic prophecies and later move deeper into theexplanation of the cycles.The Mayans prophesied that from 1999 we have 13 years to realize thechanges in our conscious attitude to stray from the path of self-destruction and instead move onto a path that opens our consciousnessto integrate us with all that exists.The Mayans knew that our Sun, or Kinich-Ahau, every so oftensynchronized with the enormous central galaxy. And from this centralgalaxy received a 'spark' of light which causes the Sun to shine moreintensely producing what our scientists call 'solar flares' as wellas changes in the Sun's magnetic field. The Mayans say that thishappens every 5,125 years. But also that this causes a displacementin the earths rotation, and because of this movement greatcatastrophes would be produced.The Mayans believed the universal processes, like the 'breathing' ofthe galaxy, are cycles that never change. What changes is theconsciousness of man that passes through it. Always in a processtoward more perfection. Based on their observations, the Mayanspredicted that from the initial date of the start of theircivilization, 4 Ahau, 8 Cumku which is 3113 B.C., after one cyclebeing completed 5,125 years in their future, December 21st, 2012. TheSun, having received a powerful ray of synchronizing light from thecenter of the galaxy, would change its polarity which would produce agreat cosmic event that would propel human kind to be ready to crossinto a new era, The Golden Age. It is after this, that the Mayans saywe will be ready to go through the door that was left by them,transforming our civilization based on fear to a vibration muchhigher in harmony.Only from our individual efforts could we avoid the path to greatcataclysm that our planet will suffer to start a new era, the sixthcycle of the Sun. The Mayan civilization was in the fifth cycle ofthe Sun, and there were four other great civilizations before themthat were destroyed by great natural disasters. They believed thateach cycle was just one stage in the collective consciousness ofhumanity.In the last cataclysm of the Mayans, the civilization was destroyedby a great flood that left little survivors of which were theirdescendants. They believed that having known the end of their cycle,mankind would prepare for what is to come in the future and it isbecause of this that they would have preserved the dominant species;the human race. They say that coming changes will permit us to make aquantum leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness to createa new civilization that would manifest great harmony and compassionto all humankind.Their first prophecy talks about 'The Time of No-Time'. A period of20 years, which they call a Katún. The last 20 years of the Sun'scycle of 5,125 years. This cycle is from 1992 - 2012. I'll explainthis in greater detail later. They predicted that during these times,solar winds would become more intense and could be seen on the Sun.This would be a time of great realization and great change formankind. And it would be our own lack of preservation andcontamination of the planet that would contribute to these changes.According to the Mayans, these changes would happen so that mankindcomprehends how the universe works so we could advance to superiorlevels, leaving behind superficial materialism and liberatingourselves from suffering.The Mayans say, that seven years after the start of Katún, which isto say 1999, we would enter a time of darkness which would force usto confront our own conduct. The say that this is the time whenmankind will enter 'The Sacred Hall of Mirrors'. Where we will lookat ourselves and analyze our behaviors with ourselves, with others,with nature and with the planet in which we live. A time in which allof humanity, by individual conscious decisions, decides to change andeliminate fear and lack of respect from all of our relationships. TheMayans prophesied that the start of this period would be marked by asolar eclipse on August 11, 1999, known to them as 13 Ahau, 8 Cauac.And would coincide with an unprecedented planetary alignment,the 'Grand Cross' alignment. This would be the last 13 years of theKatón period. The last opportunity for our civilization to realizethe changes that are coming at the moment of our spiritualregeneration.For the Mayans, everything is numbers and the time of the 13 sacrednumbers started in August 1999. They predicted that along with theeclipse, the forces of nature would act like a catalyst of changes soaccelerated and with such magnitude that mankind would be powerlessagainst them. Also, that our technologies in which we rely on so muchwould begin to fail us. We would no longer be able to learn from ourcivilization in the way that we are organized as a society. They saidthat our internal, spiritual development would require a better placealong with a better way to interact with more respect and compassion.The first prophecies were attained by their study of our Sun. TheMayans discovered that the entire solar system moved. That even ouruniverse has its own cycles. Repetitive periods which begin and endlike our day and night. These discoveries lead to the understandingthat our solar system rotates on an ellipse that brings our solarsystem closer and further from the center of the galaxy. In otherwords, according to the Mayans, our Sun and all of its planets rotatein cycles in relation to the center of the galaxy or Hunab-Kú, thecentral light of the galaxy. It takes 25,625 years for our solarsystem to make one cycle on this ellipse. One complete cycle iscalled a galactic day. The cycle is divided into two halves similarto our day and night. The half closest to the central light, is oursolar system's 'day' and the half furthest away is its 'night'. Eachday and each night lasts 12,800 years. Which is to say, the centralgalaxy is the Sun for our entire solar system.The Mayans discovered that every grand cycle has its minor cycles,that carry the same characteristics. One galactic day of 25,625 yearsis divided into five cycles of 5,125 years. The first cycle is thegalactic morning. When our solar system is just coming out of thedarkness to enter the light. The second cycle is the mid-day. Whenour solar system is closest to the central light. The third cycle isthe afternoon. When our solar system begins to come out of the light.The fourth cycle is the late-night. When our solar system has enteredits furthest cycle from the central light. And the fifth and lastcycle is night before dawn. When are solar system is in its lastcycle of darkness before starting again. This is the cycle we arecurrently coming out of.The Mayan prophecy tells us that in 1999, our solar system began toleave the end of the fifth cycle which started in 3113 B.C. and thatwe find ourselves in the morning of our galactic day, exitingdarkness and on the verge of being in plain day of our central galaxyin 2012. They say that at the beginning and end of these cycles,which is to say, every 5,125 years, the central sun or light of thegalaxy emits a ray of light so intense and so brilliant that itilluminates the entire universe. It is from this burst of light thatall of the Suns and planets sync. The Mayans compare this burst tothe pulse of the universe, beating once every 5,125 years. It isthese pulses that mark the end of one cycle and the beginning of thenext. Each pulse lasting 20 years, a Katún.So we come back to what they call 'The Time of No Time'. It is anevolutionary period, short but intense, inside the grand cycles wheregreat changes take place to thrust us into a new age of evolution asindividuals and as mankind.As individuals we will have to make decisions that will affect usall. If we continue on this negative path of hate, an eye for an eye,destruction of nature, of fear and egoism, we will enter straightinto the time of destruction and chaos, and we will disappear as thedominant race of this planet. If we become conscious and realize thatwe all form part of a great organism, and that we should respect oneanother and be grateful to our planet, then we will move directlyinto positive growth, our Golden Age. Our planet, the Sun and theGalaxy are awaiting our decision. It is up to us what will happen inthis time of change. Whether we go through a time of suffering anddestruction or we find ourselves united in one positive consciousnessmoving closer to our next stage.Please notice the events of our planet as evidence that the Mayanprophecies are worth listening to and learning from. Share thisinformation and help us all move toward a better future, where we canthrive in a new era of positivity. It has never been so important.www.december212012.com/articles/mayan/7.shtmlWhat is so special about the Mayan Calendar?"The person with no previous exposure to the Mayan Calendar willusually initially be surprised by the fact that some people todaytake such an interest in an ancient calendar. After all, humanhistory has seen a high number of different calendars. Is not thenthe Mayan calendar just a very specialized subject of interest onlyto specialists or history buffs? "Why would the world today needanother calendar than the Gregorian or Muslim that are currently inuse, and why should this be the Mayan calendar?" some may ask.By Carl Johan CallemanWell, to begin with most people probably have a much too limited viewof the importance of the Mayan civilization, and Native Americantraditions generally. In fact, at their height in the 5th to 9thcenturies AD, the Mayan cities would be among the largest in theworld and developed the most advanced mathematics and astronomy oftheir day. And so, even if the Native American civilizations hardlysurvived the later contact with the Europeans they were and are thecarriers of a significant and irreplaceable part of the global humanconsciousness.When we talk about the Mayan Calendar something profoundly differentis also meant than just a system to mark off the passage of time. TheMayan Calendar is above all a prophetic calendar that may help usunderstand the past and foresee the future. It is a calendar of theAges that describes how the progression of Heavens and Underworldscondition the human consciousness and thus the frames for ourthoughts and actions within a given Age. The Mayan Calendar providesan exact schedule for the Cosmic Plan and the unfolding of all thingsthat come into existence. There is now ample empirical evidence forthis, something that shines new light on the age old questions ofmankind. Things do exist for a reason. The reason is that they fitinto the divine cosmic plan. For those that seriously engage in astudy of the Mayan Calendar this soon becomes evident and the formermaterialist world view loses all relevance. The Mayan Calendar is agateway to the worlds of consciousness which the majority of humanityhas been blinded to through the use of false or delusory calendars.Since everything that exists is an aspect of consciousness, and theMayan Calendar describes the evolution of consciousness in all of itsaspects, no stone is left unturned for the serious student of theMayan Calendar. All of science is affected, all of religion isaffected, all of life is affected. We are here for a reason. Time isno longer equated with money, but with spirit. Time is inspiration!2012 in briefThe Mayan civilization of Central America was and is the mostadvanced in relation to time-science knowledge. Their main calendaris the most accurate on the planet. It has never erred. The Mayanfifth world finished in 1987. The sixth world starts in 2012. So weare currently "between worlds"1. Humanity and Planet Earth are currently going through a hugechange or shift in consciousness and reality perception.2. The Mayan civilization of Central America was and is the mostadvanced in relation to time-science knowledge. Their main calendaris the most accurate on the planet. It has never erred. They actuallyhave 22 calendars in total, covering the many timing cycles in theUniverse and Solar System. Some of these calendars are yet to berevealed.3. The Mayan fifth world finished in 1987. The sixth world starts in2012. So we are currently "between worlds". This time is calledthe "Apocalypse" or revealing. This means the real truth will berevealed. It is also the time for us to work through "our stuff"individually and collectively.4. The Mayan sixth world is actually blank. This means it is up tous, as co-creators, to start creating the new world and civilizationwe want now.5. The Mayans also say that by 2012we will have gone beyond technology as we know it.we will have gone beyond time and money.we will have entered the fifth dimension after passing through thefourth dimensionPlanet Earth and the Solar System will come into galacticsynchronization with the rest of the Universe.Our DNA will be "upgraded" (or reprogrammed) from the centre of ourgalaxy. (Hunab Ku)Everybody on this planet is mutating. Some are more conscious of itthan others. But everyone is doing it.6. In 2012 the plane of our Solar System will line up exactly withthe plane of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. This cycle has taken 26,000years to complete. Virgil Armstrong also says that two other galaxieswill line up with ours at the same time. A cosmic event!7. Time is speeding up (or collapsing). For thousands of years theSchumann Resonance or pulse (heartbeat) of Earth has been 7.83 cyclesper second, The military have used this as a very reliable reference.However, since 1980 this resonance has been slowly rising. It is nowover 12 cycles per second! This means there is the equivalent of lessthan 16 hours per day instead of the old 24 hours.8. During the Apocalypse or the time "between worlds" many peoplewill be going through many personal changes. The changes will be manyand varied. It is all part of what we came here to learn orexperience. Examples of change could be- relationships coming to anend, change of residence or location, change of job or work, shift inattitude or thinking etc."What is so special about the Mayan Calendar?http://enlightenment.en.funpic.de/index.phpPacal Votan's prophetic call is alerting present-day humanity thatour biological process is transforming, approaching the culminationof a 26,000 year evolutionary program. Bringing the return ofuniversal telepathy, heightened sense capacity, and self-reflectiveconsciousness, this is a return to the sacred domain of our innertechnology.This grand cycle of evolution will culminate winter solstice,December 21, 2012 AD.This time we are now in has been called "The Time of Trial onEarth," "Judgement Day," "The Time of Great Purification," "The Endof this Creation," "The Quickening," "The End of Time as We KnowIt," "The Shift of the Ages." It is foretold that the completion ofthe Precession brings regeneration of Earth, offering awakening toall open, willing hearts. Many peoples spoke of these last days ofthe Great Cycle, including the: Maya, Hopi, Egyptians, Kabbalists,Essenes, Qero elders of Peru, Navajo, Cherokee, Apache, Iroquoisconfederacy, Dogon Tribe, and Aborigines.Mayan Prophecies and Calendar"The Gregorian calendar is not in harmony with the forces of nature.The original Egyptian calendar was. But the Egyptian calendar waslater modified by the Greeks/Spartan and then the Romans etc. 30 yrsafter the birth of Christ, the calendar was off by 12 days. They hada council to bring it back (Julian). In 1582 it was again out of lineand Pope Gregory brought in the best astronomers to align it onceagain. It still suffer changes. The Russian Orthodox did not acceptthis calendar until much later.The Mayan calendar will need to be adjusted by one day in 380,000years.The Aztecs use different glyphs and is basically the same as theMayan only slightly less evolved. Their glyphs are better in theirrepresentations of the energies though.The Earth changes will continue until 2012. The Elders say that theprocess can be easy and aligned or can be catastrophic. Human energywill decide this.Time and the calendar begin on the equinox of 3/21.There had been a cycle of darkness that lasted 468 years (9 X 52) andended on 3/30/1993.We are now in a transition period called the 'Cycle of the merge ofthe dark and the light.' During this time humanity is going throughgreat transition.The cycle of light will come in full force on 12/21/2012.This is considered the cycle of 13 lights and 13 heavens.Many cycles begin on that same date.Mother Earth as a living entity will transcend to another level orfrequency or consciousness and a new and special era will begin.The preparation for this is now in the womb of the Earth so to speakand the process of change is bringing transcendental manifestations.This new era will be very positive. "Let all beings rise. Let not oneor two stay behind".The times are here for total brotherhood.The spirit beings, different philosophies, different races must beginto weave together all knowledge to create the tapestry of harmony andbalance. We are all seeing the evidence of this shift in humanconsciousness now. ...Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpentQuetzalcoatl, the feathered or plumed serpent, represents kundaliniwhich is the movement of energy from the Earth to the base of thespine then up the spine. This serpent/fire represents transcendence.Quetzalcoatl, "The whole American continent is represented by aneagle or condor. It (America) has been called to take the torch forthese times. One wing represents the physical and the other thematerial. The spiritual wing must continue to lift. When balancecomes of both wings, then America will come unto it's own bringingthe spiritual and material resources together."Mayan Prophecies and Calendarhttp://www.crystalinks.com/mayanprophecies.htmlMadrid Codex: (75-76)WHAT HAVE THE HOPIS, MAYANS, AND OTHER NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLESFORESEEN ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD IN THE YEAR 2000?Both the Hopis and Mayans recognize that we are approaching the endof a World Age. But the former, however, offer no time limits, whilethe latter have a calendar system whose grand Thirteen Baktun cyclewill end either on December 24, 2011 or June 6, 2012 (depending onyour method of calculation). In both cases, however, the Hopi andMayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end.Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another.The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enterthe future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance oracceptance will determine whether the transition will happen withcataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same themecan be found reflected in the prophecies of many other NativeAmerican visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear.This concept that we can make choices concerning our future destiniesis one found not only in Native American prophecies but is really anessential ingredient in all true prophetic pronouncements. Trueprophecy is meant to be a reflection on the hidden natures andmotivations of human behavior, both individually and collectively, aswell as the future options based on the human ability to make achoice. True prophecy is thus more than merely a forecast. Itspurpose is to provide the lesson that is to be learned from apotential future prognostication so that, if possible, the lesson isaccepted and processed beforehand. Thus the course of the future canactually be changed, and a different pathway of prophesied events canbe manifested into reality.In this context, the period of time between now and the year 2012,with 2000 as the benchmark, appears to be shaping up into a decisivetime period when important choices will be made and when any numberof timelines for the future are possible. True prophecy is our guideto determine what those different timelines are and how we can makethe right choices.TOP 10 PROPHECIES FOR THE YEAR 2000by Joseph Robert JochmansAligning With the Spirit of the Maya Calendar End-Date 2012by Dwayne Edward RourkeJanuary 1, 2000A great turning of the Gregorian calendar wheel has brought us to thethreshold of a new millennium. Throughout the planet, people arefilled with the sort of expectancy, excitement and anxiety such athreshold evokes. However, if any of us are looking to the calendaritself for guidance as to how to align with the spirit of this newtime, we will likely be disappointed. Very little is provided there,other than a rather utilitarian segmentation of time into years,months and days. In contrast, the workings of a sacred calendar suchas that found throughout Mesoamerica and especially in those areasinhabited by traditional Mayan people, provide a wealth of symbolismable to empower its adherents with insight and energy.Clearly, all calendars throughout the world are arbitrary man-madeconstructions. Generally, they are based on alignment with particularcelestial phenomena such as the solar or lunar year. Mayan calendarsare no exception and currently the Mayan calendar tradition callsattention to the day we call December 21 , 2012. The Maya have beenaware for hundreds of years that on that Winter solstice day, aunique astronomical event will occur: a very rare conjunction of theSun with the ecliptic of the Milky Way galaxy....In the direction EAST, universally acknowledged as the place of newbeginnings, the Maya place the hieroglyph CHICCHAN (pronunciation:cheek'chan). CHICCHAN is the serpent mind, the mind that isconstantly renewed and regenerated, through a process of sheddingwhat no longer serves us. The physical body itself can be seen as anevolutionary skin periodically released, as one life ends and anotherbegins. It is a body fueled ultimately by a form of solar energy theMaya call kultunlilni. Kultunlilni is the vital life force empoweringall human growth and development. This crucial life-force is the sameas what is known in Hindu cosmology as the serpent power: kundalini.Kundalini is the great evolutionary force making of each body and itsoccupant, a potentially powerful source of solar wisdom. Importantfor us to remember, however, is that this primary, very intimate andvery powerful source of wisdom is only accessible to the extent thatwe are able to hear what our bodies, as carriers of its sacred gift,are actually telling us. Inevitably in this process, we turn to thosewith whom we feel a strong attraction or affinity. "Aligning With the Spirit of the Maya Calendar End-Date 2012http://www.dwayneedwardrourke.com/Pages/Mill2012.htmWhat is the Millennium all about?Consensus indicates that we are coming out of what the Indiantradition names Kali Yuga (this is the age of darkness/ignorance) andare on the verge of entering the Satya Yuga (the age of truth) whenall falsehood will expose itself and drop away. The Yuga which linksthese two Yugas is named Krita Yuga ( Age of transition.)From the Western Astrological perspective this seems to correspondwith the understanding that we are transiting from the Piscean Age tothe Age of Aquarius. The onset of the Aquarian Age speaks to us ofspiritual awakenings, of the perfection of each human being, throughan awareness of our own spiritual self. The time of rebirth and greatspiritual development on earth. All this heralding a time of muchgreater joy and positivity.Yet in the Christian tradition the generally accepted idea is thatthe Millennium starts around the year 2000. Websters 9th CollegiateDictionary, USA, 1983 gives a definition as follows:- "The 1000 yearsmentioned in the Book of Revelation, chapter 20 during which Holinessis to prevail. A period of great happiness or human perfection".In the Islamic tradition there are many instances where the HolyKoran and the Hadith mention a future time of judgement &resurrection, known as the Qiyamah time. In the traditions of theprophet this time is indicated as coming some time after 1400 years(of the Hijri calendar), which again seems to coincide with thecoming Millennium & twenty first century.For Buddhists there is some expectation that the Wheel of Dharma, themetaphorical wheel of time is set to turn for the first time in 2500years since Lord Buddha's advent. Gautama Buddha apparently taughtthat each revolution of the wheel signalled a new beginning, orrebirth for humanity.From the Book of Prophecies of the Knight John of Jerusalem (11thCentury) comes the following: "The millennium that comes after thismillennium will change into a light time. People will love and shareand dream, and dreams will come true." Further it adds: "People willbe one big body of which every person is a tiny part. Togetherthey'll be the heart and they'll speak one language." "Men will havereached heaven" "Men will know the Spirit of all things" "People willreceive a second birth and the Spirit will come into them."Ancient Sibylline Oracles of the Roman era perhaps also add to thecollective vision of what the future may hold...for example "Viceshall leave the earth and be sunk in the divine ocean"William Blake (1757-1827) speaks of the Judaic tradition in hiswork: `The Marriage of Heaven and Hell'. V14 as follows: The ancienttradition that the world will be consumed (overthrown) in fire at theend of six thousand years is true,....For the cherub with his flamingsword is hereby commanded to leave guard at(the) tree of life: andwhen he does, the whole creation will be consumed (overthrown) andappear infinite and holy, whereas it now appears finite and corrupt.If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear toman as it is, infinite. For man has so closed himself up, till hesees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.So what does the past say about the present? Well in short-manythings. What is intriguing is the faint echo from the past whichinforms us of a hitherto unsuspected phenomenon, namely the coming ofa feminine spiritual personality, a Mother, who will facilitate acollective rebirth. Here are some selected references which allude tothis happening!Predictions about the Spiritual MotherIn a book published in 1887 titled "The Mystery of the Ages" byMarie, Countess of Caithness (Page 316-317) the following predictionappears:- "It was generally considered, at the turn of the nextcentury, that the next Divine incarnation was about to come to earthand would be female, the advent of Divine Wisdom, or Theo-Sophia, andthat the present age would be the age of making known all that whichhas been kept secret from the beginning."This is an extract from the Nadigranth compiled by Mr ShantaramAthvale. The Nadigranth was originally written in Sanskrit 2000 yearsback by the ancient astrologer Bhrigumuni and later updated &translated into Marathi and titled the Kak Nadi by Kakayyar Bhujanderwho was a great astrologer and seeker who lived nearly 300 years agoin India. In this particular extract Shantaram Athvale refers to thewritings from Kak Nadi written by Kakayyar Bhujander:"While Jupiter is in Pisces a great Yogi will incarnate on the Earth.By 1970 it will have become quite evident to many people that a newera will have started. Human life will undergo a complete revolution.This Yogi will be the Incarnation of Parabrahma and will have all thedivine powers.By the new method of yoga devised by the great Yogi, human beingswill be able to attain the joy of Moksha within one lifetime. Whileliving ordinary lives people will achieve Yoga – Union with God. Inthe end all the nations of the world will come together with thefeeling of oneness. There will be a great international conference ina big city of the world. The whole of the humanity will understandthe importance of prayer and all the nations will unite together.Due to new scientific discoveries science and religions would becomeone. With the help of science the existence of God and the Soul couldbe proved. The veil of ignorance and Maya would be drawn aside andBrahmananda, Moksha which could previously only be attained by yogisas a result of very hard work and severe penance would become easilyavailable to many human beings."William Blake (28 Nov 1757-12 Aug 1827) gives us this prophetic poemtitled "To Morning." Seemingly it is an invocation to what heperceived as the feminine aspect of the Divine, whom would facilitatethe dawning of a new age and the unlocking of Heaven on Earth."O Holy Virgin, Clad in purest white Unlock heaven's golden gates andissue forth Awake the dawn that sleeps, that sleeps in heaven Letlight rise from the chambers of the East"C.S Lewis (1898-1963) in his book the Great Divorce describes somekind of approaching procession of great joyousness. "If I couldremember their singing and write down the notes, no man who read thatscore would ever grow sick or old. Between them went musicians: andafter this a lady in whose honour this was being done" and "Everyyoung man or boy that met her became her son" further "Every girlthat met her became her daughter" and "There are those that stealother peoples children. But her motherhood was of a different kind.Those on whom it fell went back to their natural parents loving themmore. In her they became themselves. And now the abundance of lifeshe has in Christ from the Father flows over into them." andalso..."Redeemed humanity is still young, it has hardly come to itsfull strength. But already there is joy enough in the little fingerof a great saint such as yonder lady to waken all the dead things inthe universe to life."The R.S.V. Christian Bible, Revelation, chapter 12, verse 1, tells usprophetically of a marvellous event to come, of a sign, of awoman. "And a great portent appeared in heaven a woman clothed withthe sun with the moon under her feet and on her head a crown oftwelve stars."In the Prophecies of John of Jerusalem an 11th century knight we readthe following regarding `the Mother' and the coming Millenniumtime. "She will be a great Master of the future times....." "She willbe the Mother of the Millennium that comes after theMillennium." "After the days of the devil She will make the softnessof a Mother flow. g) In the Christian Gnostic Gospel of Thomas thismysterious divine feminine power is alluded to in verse 101 as:- "Mymother gave me birth My true Mother gave me Life"The Essene Gospel of Peace, Book 1 (Page 7), speaks of this feminineaspect of the divine as being an inner life force, as something to berealised. "Your Mother is in you, and you in her, She gives you life."In ancient writings of the Bible and also Gnostic records...theenergy now known to many today as Kundalini energy is called byvarious names such as: Sophia, Life, Mother of the living or Wisdom.This force called Wisdom is likened to a feminine energy, and even afeminine personality ........ named as She and Her. In these writingsthe words; She...Her ...Wisdom & Holy Spirit are used interchangeablyto refer to this feminine aspect of the Divine. Also later known inChristian texts as the Holy Ghost, Comforter, Counsellor and Redeemer.From the ancient Wisdom of Solomon written some 2500 years back weread: Chapter 6, Verse, 12-17: 6.12-"Wisdom is radiant and unfadingand she is easily discerned (recognised) by those who love her, andis found by those who seek her. 6.13-She hastens to make herselfknown to those who desire her. ..... and 6.16-She goes about seekingthose worthy of her, and she graciously appears to them in theirpaths, and meets them in every thought.7. 22-24-For in her there is a spirit that is intelligent, holy,unique, manifold, unpolluted, distinct, invulnerable, loving thegood, dynamic (keen), irresistible, beneficent, humane, steadfast,sure, free from anxiety, all-powerful, overseeing all, andpenetrating through all spirits .........................that areintelligent and pure and most subtle.7.24-For wisdom is more mobile than any motion; because of herpureness.... she pervades and penetrates all things. . 7.25-For sheis a breath (wind) of the power of God, and a pure emanation of theglory of the almighty; therefore nothing defiled gains entrance intoher.7.26-For she is a reflection of eternal light, and a spotless mirrorof the working of God, and an image of his goodness.7.27-Though she is but one, she can do all things, and whileremaining in herself, she renews all things; in every generation shepasses into holy souls and makes them friends of God, and prophets:7.28-For God loves nothing so much as the man who lives with wisdom.7.29-For she is more beautiful than the sun, and excels everyconstellation of the stars. Compared with the light she is found tobe superior,....8.1-She reaches mightily from one end of the earth to the other, andshe orders all things well.8. 4-For she is an initiate in the knowledge of God,8.5-If riches are a desirable possession in life what is richer thanwisdom, who effects all things?8.6-And if understanding is effective, who more than she who is thefashioner of what exists?8.8-And if any one longs for wide experience, she knows the things ofold, and infers the things to come; she understands turns of speechand solutions to (life's) riddles she has foreknowledge of signs andwonders and the outcomes of seasons and times.8.16-When I enter my house, (the body/ temple) I shall find rest withher, for companionship with her has no bitterness, and life with herhas no pain, but (is)gladness and joy.8. 17-18-For in kinship with wisdom there is immortality and infriendship with her....pure delight and in labour's of her hands,unfailing wealth, and in experience of her company, understanding andrenown in sharing her words.9.11-For she knows and understands all things,.....And what of Sophia, of Wisdom, of the Holy Spirit, Comforter,Counsellor, Redeemer? Well people say She is here, residing withineach and everyone of us as a sleeping potential, an inner life force,known widely as the Kundalini energy. This unique energy resides inthe sacrum (sacred) bone. It is said that She can be awakened if onetruly desires it so. It sounds like a dream but that's what thismusic seeks to proclaim and celebrate. Further it is said that theone who resurrects this inner Divine Life Force, en-masse, is theDivine Mother, Goddess, Holy Spirit, who is verily a Comforter,Counsellor, Redeemer.This inner living resurrection can be enjoyed every day, and eachsecond by those who experience it. What's more, it is celebratedglobally on the anniversary of the opening of the Sahasrara. TheSahasrara is the universal energy centre located at the crown of thehead, at the fontanelle, the seventh chakra or highest centre ofconsciousness, known otherwise as the thousand petalled lotus. It isthrough this last centre that one is able to connect with the allpervading universal divine "that is". On the day it was opened on acosmic level it is said that the whole atmosphere was filled withtremendous chaitanya (divine life force energy-vibrations) and therewas tremendous light in the sky, and the whole thing came on theEarth. Since that day, thousands upon thousands of seekers from everynation have crossed paths with the one who `delivers the goods'. Foras the Ancient Wisdom of Solomon promises: Verse 6. 12 – "Wisdom isradiant and unfading and she is easily discerned by those who loveher, and is found by those who seek her." "She hastens to makeherself known to those who desire her." and "...she goes aboutseeking those worthy of her, and she graciously appears to them intheir paths, and meets them in every thought. Hence the songlyrics: "She was also in your City. Haven't you heard?"Every year since 1970, the moment when the last centre in ourevolutionary assent was opened, great celebrations have been takingplace with people gathering from every nation & religious traditionsomewhere on the world stage. And the day of commemoration – May 5th.Hence, it was a big surprise to find some predictions regarding thisparticular day, May 5th, for the year 2000, the so called Millenniumyear.The Fernbank Science Centre Planetarium of Emory University inAtlanta, Georgia, USA have carried out various assessments andconcluded that there will be a line-up of planets (heavenly bodies)in the next Millennium. Such line-ups may have only the subtlest ofeffects upon our lives, so no armageddon type scenarios, please. Inshort various planets; Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, andthe Sun and the new Moon will come into alignment with Earth, in amost unique conjunction or union. Momentarily being connected alonginvisible gravitational lines of energy. Like a cosmic string ofpearls. Perhaps this will be a particularly auspicious day. And when?On the precise date of May 5th, 2000. This is mentioned only to sparkcuriosity, to lead the attention onward, to activate the seeking andquesting faculty, to stimulate the desire to know, feel andexperience the eternal. Everyone can do it..... if they wish!All this excitement about the so called Millennium may lead us in thewrong directions. The Millennium isn't a one moment event, ifanything it more clearly represents a dawning. As a seed sprouts andpromises new growth, so we might look upon the idea of theMillennium. After all, this time business is in essence just a manmade concept, and perhaps not too much should be made of it. In anyevent it is commonly debated that the Julian (Christian calendar) isonly accurate to about plus or minus seven years. (So the Millenniumcould really be anywhere between 1993-2007).Hence, some say, it is best to stay in the present and tap into thatinner state beyond time, the fifth dimension, accessible by achievinga state of `thoughtless awareness' at the Sahasrarachakra.....otherwise known as the Turiya State or Eternity.Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), who was awarded the Nobel prize forliterature in 1913 makes the following plea:- "Oh! Mother, let mymind awake slowly on the Sacred Shore of the sea, where great soulsof the world have come together to offer their pranams. Here withoutstretched hands we bow-down to the Divine in human form. Inbounteous poetry and in great joy we adore thee. Behold here ohseeker! The mountain of meditation with rivers resounding and dancingto the solemn music of heaven.

This is the season!— Geoffrey GodfreyKnowledge of Reality Magazine 1996-2006--------------------------------------------------------------------------------QUOTES OF SHRI MATAJI--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi"But today it is the day I declare I am the One who have to save thehumanity. I declare I am the One who is Adi Shakti, who is the Motherof all Mothers, who is the Primordial Mother, the Shakti (DivinePrimordial Power) of the Desire of God, who has incarnated on thisEarth to give meaning to itself, to this Creation, to human beings,and I am sure that through My Love and Patience and My Powers I amgoing to achieve it.I was the One who was born again and again. But now I have come in Mycomplete Form and with complete Powers. I have come on this Earth notonly for salvation of human beings, not only for their emancipation,but for granting them the Kingdom of Heaven, the Joy, the Bliss thatyour Father wants to bestow upon you."Shri Puratana Devi(Purantana: Primordial or Ancient)On July 26, 1995, the Great Primordial Goddess revealed that theMiracle Photo was genuine. Implying that over the duration of 21 fullmoons all the Messengers of God Almighty had given enough evidencenecessary for the Believers on Earth to surrender to the DivineMessage to humanity the Great Primordial Mother ended Her Revelationswith these parting words: "We Have Done Our Job Here." Thus 1995 fitsperfectly with the ancient Mayan prophecy that "a calendar cycle oftwice the Kal-tun of 260 years had to go by in order for the Solarculture to flourish again for the benefit of all humanity." Theactual prophecy reads;"In the year 1475, before the arrival of the Spanish, The SupremeMaya Council revealed the long-held vision of an ancient SolarGrandmother named X'Nuuk'K'in, that a calendar cycle of twice the Kal-tun of 260 years had to go by in oder for the Solar culture toflourish again for the benefit of all humanity. In the spring of1995, this 520 year period will be completed. Thus, 1995 is adecisive year and the human race will have to enter the path of thecosmic light if it is to remain a thinking species. Humans will haveto seek the path of initiation on Earth and in Heaven. Through SolarInitiation they will be able to see the luminosity of the GreatSpirit...through Solar Initiation, the sleeping body of humankind canbe awakened." Hunab K'u (Creator) will flash like lightening thatwill pierce through the shadows that envelop the human race. Let usprepare to receive the light of knowledge" (paraphrased Mayanprophesy)www.nativenet.uthscsa.edu/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Temple of KukulkanTemple of Kukulkan (Serpent)"Quetzalcoatl taught the ancients all the necessary skills to advancetheir civilization, from mathematics and science to agriculture andastronomy, as well as the famous Mayan calendrical formulae whichpredicts the end of the world to be December 21st 2012. He taught thepeople to live in peace and then moved on disappearing across thesea, but he promised he would someday return. Unfortunately for theancient inhabitants of Mexico they mistook the arrival of the Spanishconquistadors and Cortez in 1519 as Quetzalcaotl's return, bringingabout their tragic doom. Accepting them with open arms and treatingthem with utmost reverence the ancient people expected their newlyarrived god to bestow great benevolence upon them. Instead theSpanish invaders brought nothing but greed and brutality for theirtrusting hosts.The name Quetzalcoatl (ket-tsul'kwot-ul) means "plumed or featheredserpent". We must certainly then mention the great ancient city ofChichen Itza on Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. There, twice a year, anamazing spectacle related to the feathered serpent god takes place:"The Temple of Kukulkan (the Feathered Serpent God, also known asQuetzalcoatl) is the largest and most important ceremonial structureat Chichen Itza. This ninety-foot tall pyramid was built during theeleventh to thirteenth centuries directly upon the multiplefoundations of previous temples. The pyramid is a store-house ofinformation on the Mayan calendar. ... The northern stairway was theprincipal sacred path leading to the summit. At sunset on the vernaland autumnal equinoxes, an interplay between the sun's light and theedges of the stepped terraces on the pyramid creates a fascinating -and very brief - shadow display upon the sides of the northernstairway. A serrated line of seven interlocking triangles (chakras)gives the impression of a long tail leading downward to the stonehead of the serpent Kukulkan (Kundalini), at the base of thestairway." (Linda Casselman)So then, on these two very important dates, the vernal and autumnalequinoxes, it appears that Quetzalcoatl is indeed present among hispeople as the shadow of the serpent moves along the steps of thePyramid of Kulkulkan."This Power is placed in the triangular bone which is called assacrum, which means Greeks knew about this centre. They very wellknew about it, that's why they called it sacred, sacrum. In manycountries there has been a manifestation that they know about thisparticular Power.I happened to go to Colombia where I collected an authentic antiquecopy of the antique necklace. The necklace had at its bottom aKundalini and even the earrings had the Kundalini, but, surprisingly,it was from the Indians of America, though it is now kept in themuseum in Colombia. It was in America that people knew aboutKundalini, definitely absolutely in three and a half coil they haddone this pattern very well. Is very surprising that it was done evenbefore Columbus came here."Shri Mataji Nirmala DeviPhiladelphia, USA — Oct 15, 1993--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Serpent Mound and associatedconstellations-Draco and the LittleDipper. Aerial photo Great Serpent MoundA most fascinating ancient Native American archaeological site foundin Ohio, USA, called the "Great Serpent Mound", features anundulating snake's body, its coiled tail reminiscent of the Kundalinilying dormant in the sacrum. In its mouth appears an egg, symbol ofthe potential actualization of Second Birth.Is it possible, then, that the ancient Native American Peoples wereworshiping the Divine Feminine and were deeply aware of the symbolic,spiritual significance of the Serpent Power and the Primordial Egg?Although scholars are uncertain as to the precise significance ofthis Great Serpent Mound, it is, however, highly likely that thissite was revered by American Indians as the sacred representation ofKundalini awakening (Second Birth).Other sources offer added information on the Great Serpent Mound:"The Great Serpent Mound, in Adams County, Ohio, USA, is consideredto be the world's largest serpent effigy. The mound is a quarter of amile long and five feet high, and it was originally much higher."[1]"The Great Serpent Mound continues to wind its quarter-mile lengthalong an Ohio hilltop...By the end of the nineteenth century,archaeologists were able to show that the mounds had in fact beenbuilt by Native American civilizations many centuries before-a-long-lost-civilization such as Greece, Persia, Holy Land or mythicalisland of Atlantis."[2]"...the two structures [Stonehenge and the Great Serpent Mound in theUSA] share the same timeline. From carbon dating in and aroundStonehenge, the Council for British Archaeology (CBA) gives an earlydate for the core of Stonehenge at 3,000 B.C.E. or 5,000 years ago.The design of Serpent Mound was conceived about 5,000 years ago aswell-and is therefore among the oldest of earth and stone works inNorth America--or in fact the world. In this, Stonehenge and SerpentMound are coeval. That time period is referred to in North Americanarchaeology as being of the "Archaic Period" (approximately 6000B.C.E. to 1000 B.C.E.)www.greatserpentmound.info/stonehenge.htmlReferences[1]Calloway, Colin G.Indians of the Northeast / Colin G.Calloway -The First Americans series.New York, NY,USA.

Now we say that it is pure desire. Itis your chaste desire. It has no lust or greed in it. That power isyour Mother and She Is settled down in the triangular bone. She knowseverything about you just as a tape recorder. She is absoluteknowledge. Because She is so pure that whatever Chakra She touches,She knows what is wrong with that Chakra before hand; so She is quiteprepared and She adjusts herself fully so that you do not get aproblem by the awakening. If any Chakra is constricted , She waitsand goes on slowly opening that Chakra.The Kundalini is the primordial power and is reflected in you. In ahuman being, it is like many strands of energy, like rope. Thisenergy is all twisted together to form that Kundalini. In a humanbeing the strands are 3 x 7 = 21 Nadis raised to the power of 108.When your kundalini rises, one or two strands out of this come up andpierce the fontanelle bone. It has to pass through the innermost nadiknown as Brahma Nadi. It is a spiral movement throughout. Thekundalini is spiral and nadis are also like a spiral. The outer mostnadi is the right side Nadi, "Pingala Nadi". The second innermost isIda Nadi. She starts sending these threads through Brahma Nadi; bythat they relax the centre. By relaxing of Centre, the sympatheticnervous system also starts relaxing, your pupils start dilating andwhen it has pierced the Agnya, then the eyes will be completelydilated and shining. Then She enters into Sahasrara.It is absolutely the pure light of knowledge of love, compassion andattention. All these things are in that energy. We know of manyenergies like electrical, light energy etc. These energies cannotthink. They cannot adjust and work on their own.They have to be handled by us. But this energy itself is the livingenergy and knows how to handle itself. It thinks. If you see a seedbeing sprouted, you will find at the tip of the seed, there is asmall little cell which knows how to go around the soft places, howto encircle the stones and how to find its way towards the source.That cell has got a little Kundalini in it. But within you atremendous force of Kundalini exists. When a realised soul says thathe should have more compassion, as my compassion, is not alright; myconcern about others, my generosity is not alright, I have exploitedother's love. Then this energy starts moving, giving you that greaterdimension of love and compassion. If you do not want to grow in yourawareness then She does not supply the energy which is stored in you.The Kundalini is there to nourish you, look after you and make yougrow by giving you a higher, wider and deeper personality. All herpower is nothing but love. She gives the power to forgive. Even whenyou think, the energy for thinking comes from Kundalini because youare asking her help.The power of Kundalini is absolute purity, auspiciousness, holiness,chastity, self respect, pure love, detachment, concern, enlightenedattention to give you Joy. As a mother will try whatever is possibleto give Joy to her child, in the same way, this Kundalini has onlyone power and that is how to give Joy to her own Children. When wetalk in the light of Kundalini, we have to understand that this lightspreads in your life, outside your life and expresses itself in avery beautiful manner.When you worship Adi Kundalini, the reflection in you, which is yourKundalini, is very happy. Also the deities feel happy.The power of Kundalini which is your own Mother has to rise andmanifest itself, because of your Pure Desire. In your introspection,pujas and in your Meditation, you should see for yourself, why areyou in Meditation. It is for Pure Desire of compassion and love to beawakened within us. The growth has started and you will find thatthis shell which is human conditioning and ego will just break open.It is in the triangular bone, which comes up, manifests and can savethe whole world. Just see the magnificence, the expansion, thegreatness of this Kundalini which was within you and which came up inits full strength and has shown tremendous things.The joy we feel during music recitals is because Kundalini isdancing. She gets happy because you ask for nothing but enjoyment ofcollectivity.You are yourself fully connected when you are absolutely detached andyour Kundalini is dancing. You are alone and never alone. Thisoneness with the whole gives you all the security and joy you want.That's why the Kundalini awakening means collectivity. Unless anduntil you want pure collectivity in your being Kundalini won't rise.When you worship Adi Kundalini, You are trying to cleanse yourKundalini, as well as please the Deities. This is an object. Itcannot be changed. But the reflector can change. The movement ofKundalini depends on temperament of person. Kundalini can give youhonesty, and faith in honesty by actualising the experience.Supposing you want to go to a garden and you are suddenly there. Thenyou will know that your desire is pure and it has worked out. Allsuch miracles happen. The pure desire works out because it ispowerful.When it works, the whole thing works out and you develop faith. Thatfaith is within you. Nobody can challenge you, if you have faith, itwill be done. Your Pure desire is now being fulfilled, you are nowconnected and you are now Divine. You are realised souls. You aredifferent from others. For you, all this subtle knowledge is beingabsorbed, because your Kundalini is absorbing it. Whatever isabsorbed is absorbed back by me. But that becomes like a barometer.You immediately know without thinking, asking, you know about anyonebecause Kundalini is the reflector. The better a reflector, youbecome, the more the Kundalini shows. Though Kundalini is anindividual Mother, in her functions and methods. She is just thesame. You cannot cheat the Kundalini, She knows you out and out. Wemust meditate to get into thoughtless awareness by which we allow theKundalini to grow."Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"I am here to tell you about the last breakthrough of our evolution.This breakthrough of our evolution in our awareness has to happen inthese modern times and has been, moreover, recorded in the writingsof many seers. These are the times called as the "Decadent Times"last called by the great saint Vyasa who has written the Gita, and itis the decadence of humanity that we see around in every way possible.Now I would like to tell the secret knowledge of our inner beingwhich was known in India thousands of years back. For our evolutionand spiritual ascent there is a residual power within us which islocated in the triangular bone at the base of our spine. Thisresidual power was available thousands of years back in India, theawakening of the Kundalini was done, traditionally, on an individualbasis only. One guru would give awakening to on disciple. As a resultof that awakening, what happens is that you achieve your self-realisation, your self-hood. Secondly, when this power is awakened,it rises and passes through six subtle energy centres in your body,nourishing them and integrating them. Ultimately this power breaksthrough the fontanelle bone area called as the Talu or Divine Love,which is described in the Bible also as the "cool breeze of the HolyGhost", also in the Koran as "Ruh" and also in the India scripturesas "Paramchaitanya". Patanjali has called it as "Ritambhara Pragya".Whatever the name, this is a power which is all-pervading, which doesall the subtle works of living process, of evolutionary process. Theexistence of this all-pervading energy is not felt before realisationbut after self-realisation you can feel it on your finger tips or atthe centre of your palm or above the fontanelle bone area.Actually, this knowledge existed a long time beck but mycontribution, if there is any, is that we can now achieve en masserealisation. Thousands can achieve mass realisation. It is a gift ofthis time where it was predicted that such global transformation willtake place. In as many as 65 countries, thousands of people haveattained their self-realisation through Sahaja Yoga....May the Divine bless you all.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi--------------------------------------------------------------------------------ADDITIONAL QUOTES--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dresden CodexIn 1475, seventeen years before Christopher Columbus made his firstjourney to the "New World," the Supreme Maya Priestly Councilassembled to reveal that darkness would soon be failing upon theMayan people and that two calendar cycles would have to pass beforethe Mayan people would once again emerge into the light. Consideringthe devastation suffered by the Maya at the hands of the SpanishConquistadors, the prediction of darkness was amazingly accurate."According to Mayan calendar keeper, Hunbatz Men, the Spring Equinox(March 21) Of 1995 marked the end of that period of darkness, since520 years have now passed (each Mayan calendar cycle is 260 years).To mark the event, Hunbatz Men led a solar initiation on this date atChichen ltz , one of the largest and most frequently visited ruins inthe Yucatan Peninsula.This initiation offered a genuine spiritual experience for the tensof thousands who attended, most of whom were Mayan. The day wasfilled with wonder: Lamas from Tibet and leaders of the Supreme MayanCouncil bestowed blessings upon attendees; Mayan music and dance wasperformed on stage; and the incredible architecture of Chichen ltzwas available for all to view.The ceremony came to a climax late in the afternoon when a shadowimage of the serpent appeared on the Pyramid of Kukulcan. This imageappears bi-annually at Chichen Itz and is a testament to thearchitectural and astronomical talents of Mayan civilization. At theEquinox, the sun hits in such a way that a shadow forms on one of thepyramid's edges in the shape of a serpent's body. This shadow snakeconnects with a statue of a serpent's head at base of the pyramid tocomplete the image of a holy Mayan symbol, representing fertility andre-birth. Attendees responded with meditation, chanting, and prayer,and displayed reverence for the 'miracle."As we reflect on the event, it is hard not to think about the recentbirth of a white buffalo in Janesville, Wisconsin. This uniqueappearance fulfills an ancient Indian prophecy and signifies a newperiod of hope and renewal for Native American culture. According tothe Lakota Sioux, the birth of a female white buffalo promises unityamong people and a new respect for the earth. Let's hope both ofthese prophecies may be fulfilled."Mayan Prophecy: The Reawakening of the Cosmic Manby Aluna Joy Yaxk'in--------------------------------------------------------------------------------MAYAN PROPHESIES FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUMfrom elder Hunbatz Men"The Mayan prophecies are being fulfilled. Some are being fulfilledeven now. Some will be fulfilled on the morrow. The Mayan propheciesexist because the Mayas knew the cosmic time. They knew that incertain times it would be necessary to keep this cosmic wisdomsecret. This was the purpose of the prophecy so that they might beable to communicate their secrets to the initiates of the future.It is prophesied that initiates shall return to the sacred land ofthe Mayas to continue the work of the Great Spirit. Here in the landsof the Mayab, in the cycle of light, there surged a great wisdom,which would illuminate humanity for many millennia. This wisdom wasgiven to the Mayan-Itzaes.Now the reincarnated masters return to these lands of the Mayan tocommunicate with the great spirits of the Itzaes so that togetherthey may understand what shall be the new initiation which will beput to practice; so that humanity, the reincarnated masters and thegreat spirits of the Itzaes may fuse into one. Then they will be ableto travel like the wind, descend like the rain, give warmth like fireand teach like Mother Earth.These masters will come from many places. They will be of manycolors. Some will speak of things difficult to understand. Otherswill be aged. Some less so. Some will dance while others will remainsilent as rocks. Their eyes will communicate the initiatic message,which is to continue through the cycles of the next millennium.It is also prophesied that this initiation of cosmic wisdom is forfuture initiates. They will be young and old, men and women who willhave the understanding that this modern civilization is not meetingits educational responsibilities. It is well known that this so-called modern civilization has caused a regressive effect inspiritual development.The Mayan ceremonial centers begin to emanate the light of the newmillennium, which is much needed today. Many Mayan cosmic ceremonialcenters begin to beckon, with their solar reflection, the manyinitiates who will come to continue the work of the Great Spirit. Inmany Mayan ceremonial centers Solar Priests will begin to walk amongthe multitude of tourists. They will be touched by the Solar Prieststo be initiation with the cosmic wisdom. It will be then that theinitiates of the second level shall begin to work among the newinitiates."elder Hunbatz Men--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Ah the Mayan Calendars end in 2012 means the end of time. I'm sureoften you have heard that enlightenment means realization of the soul(beyond space and time) in correlation with spirit (God, or creation).So do not fear, 2012 does not mean cataclysm, in fact, its theopposite, the coming of a new Golden Age, in which we will possessthe powers of the ancient ones. We will be able to levitate,manifest, and heal, and invocate magic. You will notice that more andmore people are becoming interested in crystals, enlightenment, andthe etheric and astral planes. At the same time, much chaos ishappening now to balance the worlds karma so we can all ascendtogether. This is the law, and by following it, we will ascend and befreed from karma. This is why many of you may be experiencing timesof turmoil. It is there for a reason, it will never happen again.There is actual scientific evidence that our DNA is evolving, andforming new strands, and the complete evolutionary process of our DNAwill be finished in 2012. With this we will be able to gain mysticalwisdom unknown by the children of man, yet known by the children oflight.For you see, from many ancient sources, it describes time as beingcircular. The wisdom and powers of creation possessed in ancienttimes, will come back to us again. The ancient descended from God, amotherland, Mu, Atlantis, then spreading and migrating into thepeople of India, Egypt, Greece, Persia..... All of these ancientmessengers carry the secret of the ancients, and all will relate tothe same thing (yet they are all on different parts of the world)meaning they descended from ONE. We are coming back to this ONE, andmore discoveries of Atlantis and our ancient past is emerging.Especially that of the crystals, which Atlantis used as a magicaltool of the Gods.Look to many sources, not just mine. Keep and open mind. Do notfollow me, rather take the wisdom I speak to thee, and use it on yourown path."Eleyzuel--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"A steadily quickening flow of earth changes has become so apparentin 1995 that even traditional media are paying attention. Earthtransformation was the cause of celebration of the HarmonicConvergence initiated by Jose and Lloydine Arguelles in August, 1987,and the Time Shift on July 26, 1992. The Time Shift marked the timein history when the planet entered a new sequencing of energy thatafter a magnetic pole shift in 2000, will be complete in December,2012. With the energy sequencing complete in 2012, Timeship Earthwill launch her voyage into fourth dimensional time in 2013.The map of planetary transformation into a new dimensional timestream was plotted in the Mayan calendar and interpreted by Jose andLloydine in the Dreamspell. In the 1950s, Euro-American astronomersran headlong into the stunning reality that Native Americans weremasters of a sophisticated astronomy previously unrecognized. Sincethe New World was conquered, the Europeans had believed that NativeAmericans were ignorant of astronomy. In fact, the Native Americanconcept was completely different than the European and thus notrecognized. Where European astronomers tracked large objects, such asthe sun and moon, in direct courses, the Native Americans trackedsmall objects relative to large objects, a far more complex andaccurate system. The two systems perceived the heavens from suchradically different view points, that the Europeans did not recognizethe Native American system as astronomy."www.lostcivilizations.net--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"When the Spanish conquered the Incas 500 years ago, the lastpachacuti, or great change, occurred. The Q'ero have been waitingever since for the next pachacuti, when order would emerge out ofchaos. For the past five centuries they preserved their sacredknowledge, and finally, in recent years, the signs were fulfilledthat the great time of change was at hand:- the high mountain lagoons have dried,- the condor is nearly extinct- and the discovery of the Golden Temple has occurred, following theearthquake in 1949 which represented the wrath of the sun.The prophecies are optimistic. They refer to the end of time as weknow it -- the death of a way of thinking and a way of being, the endof a way of relating to nature and to the earth.In the coming years, the Incas expect us to emerge into a golden age,a golden millennium of peace. The prophecies also speak of tumultuouschanges happening in the earth, and in our psyche, redefining ourrelationships and spirituality. The next pachacuti, or great change,has already begun, and it promises the emergence of a new human afterthis period of turmoil. The chaos and upheaval characteristic of thisperiod will last another four years, according to the Q'ero.The paradigm of European civilization will continue to collapse, andthe way of the Earth people will return. Even more importantly, theshamanic elders speak about a tear in the fabric of time itself. Thispresents an opportunity for us to describe ourselves not as who wehave been in the past but as who we are becoming.Pachacuti also refers to a great Incan leader who lived in the late1300s. He is said to have built Machu Picchu and was the architect ofan empire the size of the US. For the Incas, Pachacuti is a spiritualprototype -- a Master, a luminous one who stepped outside of time. Hewas a messiah, but not in the Christian sense of the only son of God,beyond the reach of humanity. Rather he is viewed as a symbol andpromise of who we all might become. He embodies the essence of theprophecies of the pachacuti, as Pacha means "earth" or "time," andcuti means "to set things right." His name also means "transformer ofthe earth."The prophecies of the pachacuti are known throughout the Andes. Thereare those who believe the prophecies refer to the return of theleader Pachacuti to defeat those who took the Incas' land. Butaccording to Dr. Villoldo, the return of Pachacuti is taking place onthe collective level. "It's not the return of a single individual whoembodies what we're becoming, but a process of emergence available toall peoples."The Q'ero have served as the caretakers of the rites and propheciesof their Inca ancestors. The prophecies are of no use unless one hasthe keys, the rites of passage. The Star Rites, or "Mosoq Karpay"(The Rites of the Time to Come), are crucial to the practical growthdescribed in the prophecies. Following the "despachos" (ritualisticofferings of mesa, or medicine bundles) at the ceremony in New YorkCity, the shamans administered the Mosoq Karpay to the individualspresent, transmitting the energies originating with the ancestors oftheir lineage. The transmission of the Mosoq Karpay is the ceremonyrepresenting the end of one's relationship to time. It is a processof the heart.This process of Becoming is considered more important than theprophecies themselves. The Karpay (rites) plant the seed ofknowledge, the seed of Pachacuti, in the luminous body of therecipient. It is up to each person to water and tend the seed so thatit can grow and blossom. The rites are a transmission of potential;one must then make oneself available to destiny. The Karpays connectthe person to an ancient lineage of knowledge and power that cannotbe accessed by the individual. It can only be summoned by a tribe.Ultimately, this power can provide the impetus for one to leap intothe body of an Inca, a Luminous One. That person is connecteddirectly to the stars, the Incan Sun of cosmology. The Q'ero believethat the doorways between the worlds are opening again. Holes in timethat we can step through and beyond, where we can explore our humancapabilities. Regaining our luminous nature is a possibility todayfor all who dare to take the leap.The Andean shamans say,"Follow your own footsteps. Learn from the rivers, the trees and therocks. Honor the Christ, the Buddha, your brothers and sisters. Honorthe Earth Mother and the Great Spirit. Honor yourself and all ofcreation."

The Mayan Calendar is basedon naturally occurring energy cycles and a close connection to MotherEarth, the Sun, and the Pleiades. Because the Maya honored MotherEarth and the energy cycles that are present here, they were in tunewith the cycles. They had access to information that is not availableto 'modern people' because 'modern people' are extremely limited bytheir belief systems.The Maya gained knowledge about many cycles which occur on Earth.They recognized a 13-day cycle of energy which comes from galacticsources. They also came to know a 20-day energy cycle coming from theSun. By studying the cycles and their interaction with each other,the Maya gained an understanding of life on Earth that far exceedsour 'modern' beliefs. Fortunately, this knowledge is becomingavailable to us at this time to assist in our 'return to naturalharmony'...As the Grand Cycle nears completion, something very interesting isalso happening in the Pleiades constellation. The star Maya is the3rd star of the Pleiades constellation. The star Maya passes throughthe Photon Band for about 2000 years and out of the band for about1,200 years. It's orbital path around Alcyone is shorter since it iscloser to Alcyone. Our Sun will enter the Photon Band in 1998 andbecome completely within the Band by 2002. As our Sun leaves theGalactic Night and enters the Band, the star Maya also enters thePhoton Band. These two stars are synchronized at this time. As thestar Maya returns to the Photon Band, the Mayan Beings of Light arereturning to Earth to assist us as the Grand Cycle comes tocompletion. Grand Events are about to occur and Ancient Wisdom isreturning to Earth. Know that you have all chosen to be here on Earthat this time to experience what will be...Time is not linear. We have been taught to think of Time as onlygoing forward, from one point to another. I think it is more accurateto think of Time as a spiral, as cycles. In an ancient time, ourMother Earth was pristine and all of her life forms lived in harmonyand honor. It is possible to heal the Earth and restore Her to herpristine state by merging the Ancient Times with the present. Toaccomplish this, we must first rid ourselves of the limitation ofbelieving that Time is linear. The Mayan and Dreamspell Calendars canassist us greatly in coming to a greater understanding of Time. It issomething that must be experienced. It is difficult to put into wordsbecause our language lacks the terms to express the nature of Time.We create our Reality. For whatever reason or purpose, the massconsciousness of humanity is embracing linear time and creating avery limited reality. As each of us shifts out of the massconsciousness, it helps to change the whole. Love and Honor yourMother Earth. Receive the Galactic Synchronization Beam from the Sun.Sing the song of your Soul. Listen to your Heart."www.web.axelero.hu/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------""We are living the times of the prophecies and now in anothercalendar of Ox Lahu Baktun. It also talks about the cycle of thegreat changes. In this cycle of the 5085 years in the Mayan calendarthere are still 15 more years to go before this calendar can becompleted. When this cycle is completed and another restoration ofthe planet will begin.The world once again has fallen into neglecting nature. The world hasbeen led by the materialistic ways, and humanity needs to transcendthis cycle and to live in a more subtle dimension. Right now only thespiritual people in this planet are living this process. Theindigenous groups of the planet are also living this process. But thegreat majority of humanity has no idea of these changes. Thesechanges can be very catastrophic. It is my goal that the differentindigenous and spiritual groups might come together as the newwarriors of the light. With their tools of love they bring themessage to humanity that their attitude needs to change. We needthese positive attitudes as far as the different indigenous andspiritual groups and their relationship with nature, with ourbrothers and sisters the trees, with our brothers and sisters theanimals, and with our Mother Earth.Even though we have neglected and abused Mother Earth, we have takenher skin off, we have contaminated her waters, we have contaminatedher wind, she is still serving us in a great way. Disobedientchildren we have been, yet she still loves us and nurtures us. Wemust understand that Grandfather Sun shines its light on us, nomatter what color or shape or size we are. We must see each otherwith this attitude in mind. If a great part of humanity begins tounderstand this process, not only on an intellectual level, but alsoat a level of living it, those drastic changes that those propheciestalk about might not be so drastic.Ancient sky watchers and wisdom keepers of the original traditions ofMother Earth remind us of our cosmic origins and how re-aligning withthe cosmos can give us essential energy needed to live togetherharmoniously and with honor for our Mother Earth. They teach thateverything that happens in the sky affects our perceptions and ourevolution. We are not separate from anything or anyone. It is clearthat these current times on Mother Earth are like no other. These arethe times in which all races, from all directions, must come togetherin harmony and unity."www.lightnews.org/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"The earth will not be destroyed December 21st 2012.

They have been meeting for thousands of years and continue todo so today. Before the Spaniards came the confederation decided tohide the Mayan teachings, entrusting certain families with theircare. Hunbatz Men is an inheritor of that lineage. In his bookSecrets of Mayan Science/ Religion, he reveals teachings that mirrorthe Hindu and Buddhist ones of astrology, meditation, and theseptenary root of creation.He speaks of Kukulcan and Quetzalcoatl, not so much in light of anexpected return, but rather in terms of the possibility that each ofus can attain the same exalted stage by treading the path ofattaining knowledge. "To be Quetzalcoatl or Kukulcan is to know theseven forces that govern our body - not only know them but also usethem and understand their intimate relationship with natural andcosmic laws. We must comprehend the long and short cycles and thesolar laws that sustain our lives. We must know how to die, and howto be born."Don Alejandro Oxlaj is a seventh generation priest from Guatemala andhead of the Quiche Maya Elder Council. He has traveled throughoutNorth America, comparing the native prophecies of different tribes.In the coming year he hopes to record and publish, for the first timein 500 years, the Mayan prophecies of his people. (SI Dec. 96, p.21)What is enlightening in all of these statements is their consistenttone of reconciliation. The native groups are opening their doors topeople of every color, speaking of themselves as Rainbow Warriors.Their elders have reminded them to "remember the originalinstructions" when each tribe was given by the creator a mandate tofollow. That mandate has told them that now is the time to heal thepast, despite the centuries of pain and persecution. Now is the timeto join together and work in harmony to rehabilitate the planet andestablish an era of alignment and peace."Ancient Prophecies For Modern TimesBette Stockbauer--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Regardless of everything scientists have learned about the Maya sofar, we constantly encounter unanswered questions. NO ONE HASSATISFACTORILY EXPLAINED WHERE OR WHEN MAYA CIVILIZATION ORIGINATED,or how it evolved in an environment so hostile to human habitation.We have almost no reliable information on the origin of theircalendar, hieroglyphic writing, and mathematical system; nor do weunderstand countless details pertaining to sociopoliticalorganization, religion, economic structure, and everyday life. Eventhe shattering catastrophe leading to the sudden abandonment of theirgreatest cities during the ninth century A.D. -- one of the mostbaffling archaeological mysteries ever uncovered -- is still deeplyshrouded in conjecture."Author Charles Gallenkamp, Maya: The Riddle and Rediscovery of a LostCivilization,Viking Penguin Inc. P. 57.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"In Mayan myth, the winter solstice sun corresponds to the deity OneHunahpu, also known as First Father. The Mayan Sacred Book, the PopolVuh, sets the stage so that the Hero Twins' father (One Hunahpu) canbe reborn, thus beginning a new World Age. The dark rift has manymythic identities: it is the Black Road; it is the xibalba be (theRoad to the Underworld); it is a crevice in the branches of thecosmic tree (the Milky Way); it is the mouth of the Cosmic Monster(often portrayed as a frog, jaguar or snake with tree-like features);it is the birth canal of the Cosmic Mother. Overall, the dark-rift isbest understood as the birth canal of the Cosmic Mother, who we maycall First Mother, to complement First Father. In this way we cantrace how these various metaphors are found in Mayan CreationMythology. The date of this alignment is, again, the end date of the13-baktun Great Cycle - a cycle of approximately 5125 years. Thissuggests that the ancient Maya were aware of the impending alignmentand considered it to be of such importance to be a major transitionpoint, the Creation of a new World Age. In mythological terms, thisevent is about the union of First Father with First Mother or, moreaccurately, the birth of First Father (the winter solstice sun - thenew World Age ruler) from First Mother (the dark-rift in the MilkyWay). The headline appropriate for the upcoming event is: "CosmicMother Gives Birth to The First God."
