The ancient culture of the Mayans is little known or understood by most people. The Mayans were an extremely advanced culture, and they possessed a particularly insightful understanding of the solar system and its cycles. From this knowledge, they produced 22 calendars. Although the calendars were measurements of time, similar to our modern calendar, they also served another purpose. The Mayan calendars were also about prophesy, and marked changes in our social cycles. There is a lot of talk today about prophesy and the Mayan Calendar, and we will explore why.
The Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012. This is causing many people to panic and doomsday scenarios abound about the end of the world. Others, though, believe a different interpretation of what it all means. Those who are not building underground shelters and stocking up food for the end of time, have another understanding.
The deep understanding of the solar system is the first place to look for a deeper meaning to the calendar. One prophesy described the end date to be the beginning of a period of extensive change and evolution around the globe. It describes a time when societies move away from destructive behaviors and move in the direction of harmony and peace instead. 1999 was the time for this process to begin and it was said to last for thirteen years, which is when the calendar ends.
Mayan beliefs explained processes in the universe. These processes are said to be fixed, and the only thing that changes are the attitudes and behaviors of humans who live in these times. If attitudes and behaviors do not change, then it was predicted that a cataclysm could indeed take place during this time of transition. It is up to us in the human race to embrace the changes we need to make in order to avert total disaster.
This alternative interpretation explains 2012 are a time to move forward in a good way, and not the end of the world scenario that others believe. It is possible for it to be the beginning of a period of peace and productivity and the creation of new societies. It could be a time when everyone in the human race can benefit.
Most people will agree that the prophesies of the Mayans are worth studying even today. One reason is because some point to situations that have come true. In the first prophesy destruction of our natural environment was predicted. That prophesy predicted the exact time in history that global warming became an issue. It is easy to see that the Mayans had knowledge that was well beyond the times of their existence.
Another prophesy called for a time of great change beginning in 1999. This was said to be a time for every human being to examine the details of their lives and make any necessary change that was possible. It was to be a time to move in a new direction and to change our relationships with others, eliminating fear along the way.
When it comes to prophesy and the Mayan calendar, you will find many conflicting beliefs. It is subject worth exploring, but you will need to come to your own conclusions. One thing is certain, the knowledge of the Mayans is important to us even today.
