December 21st 2012 Mayan Prophecies

Most people have heard about stories pertaining to events that may or may not happen on December 21st 2012. These tales and predictions have their roots in the Mayan calendar but there are only a few people who completely understand what the 2012 Mayan prophecies are actually about.

The Mayan people were very advanced for their age. They had a complex understanding of the solar system as well as astronomy in general. They knew that all celestial bodies have cycles and that these cycles and calendars can affect the human psyche and consciousness.

Perhaps their most amazing observation was that they realized that our Sun directly aligns itself with the center of the galaxy every six thousand years. They believed that this caused incredible solar activity such as massive flares and a change in the sun’s magnetic field; in turn they stipulated that this changed the physical constraints here on Earth.

The Mayan prophecies also mention a “time of no time”. This is believed to refer to a 20 year period that leads up to the end of their long-count calendar in December 2012. During these years they believed that solar winds would be visible from the Earth and would have such an effect that man would have a greater understanding of his place in the universe. It is actually a myth that people believe the Mayans predict the end of the world is coming, they actually state that it is the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next.

This new era is called the Golden Age, and it is in this time that the human civilization is transformed from one of fear to one of great enlightenment. The Mayan prophecies state that their culture was the fifth in a line of human civilizations with each being more advanced than the previous one in the form of consciousness.

In 2012 they predict that it will be another manifestation of a quantum leap in human consciousness and development which will lead to greater harmony and compassion.
