How to read the calendar |
Predictions about the Mayan calendar may be greatly exaggerated, which is to say: The world may not be coming to an end on December 21, 2012.
(Needless frenzy? Do we remember demanding toxic, autism-inducing "swine flu" vaccinations for our kids -- creating a profit bonanza for pharmaceutical companies and giving governments greater control?)

But a chapter in a new textbook, Calendars and Years II: Astronomy and Time in the Ancient and Medieval World (Oxbow Books, 2010), could throw off all those ominously titled Discovery Channel specials. According to Live Science, Professor Gerardo Aldana of the University of California at Santa Barbara writes that methods for converting the Mayan calendar to the popular Gregorian calendar are inaccurate by 50 to 100 years.

The Tzolkin: A Religious Time Keeper
Wisdom Quarterly (COMMENTARY)
Tzolkin (mayanmajix.com) |
The Maya's startlingly advanced society -- like that of the Khmer empire centered in Cambodia but extending its influence throughout Southeast Asia (like that of the Mesoamerican Olmecs, Toltecs, and Aztecs on this continent) -- was consumed by reptilians (Buddhist nagas). They are still here influencing human affairs.
The Tzolkin may be the oldest "calendar" in the Mayan system of calendars and may have been the most important. The others kept track of cosmic cycles of time (Buddhist kalpas), time spans too enormous to be of significance for short-lived human cultures. But they were very important to extraterrestrials.
But that the world's ancient "myths" could be more history than fantasy is simply too hard for modern earthlings to believe. So why talk about it? Better to worry needlessly about Doomsday or dismiss all Mayan Calendar talk as a hoax. However, the America's "Sleeping Prophet," Edgar Cayce, had much to say about the shift to a New Age, which the Maya (Mayans) framed not as the end of this world but the end of that cycle.

Edgar Cayce on 2012
To the most famous American psychic of all time, 2012 is only the arrival of a New Age -- according to Kevin Todeschi, executive director and CEO of Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. (Association for Research and Enlightenment).
Edgar Cayce (edgarcaycecatalog.org) |
The Brave New World Order is not about the supremacy of some nations over others. Instead, it is about a new focus for the world as a whole. We are caretakers of one another. Cayce's readings describe that responsibility in this way:
- "Make of thine OWN heart an understanding that thou must answer for thine own brother, for thine own neighbor! And who is thine neighbor? He that lives next door, or he that lives on the other side of the world? He, rather, that is in NEED of understanding! He who has faltered; he who has fallen even by the way. HE is thine neighbor, and thou must answer for him!" (Edgar Cayce Reading #3976-8)
