The Maya have provided us with the key to understanding the global
transformation. The key is our current alignment to the Galactic Center,
through the solstice doorway. This type of alignment is caused by the
precession of the equinoxes, and occurs once every 13,000 years. It is now
clear that many ancient civilizations, including the Egyptian and Vedic,
believed that these Galactic alignments stimulate consciousness evolution on
the planet.
It is my belief that the rapidly changing dynamics and evolutionary pressures
involved in what we are moving through demands that we approach the profound wisdom
of Maya calendar cosmology with clarity. Clarity comes from understanding the
Maya calendar and the Maya insights into the "end-time" dynamics as preserved
in their Creation mythology and other traditions. An important facet of their
Creation myth speaks about the vain and false ruler, Seven Macaw. The Hero Twins
had to expose and do away with Seven Macaw so that their murdered father, One
Hunahpu, could be reborn from the Great Mother Milky Way. On an astronomical level,
this indicates a shift from polar symbolism to galactic symbolism. On a spiritual
level, it bodes a shift from limited either-or thinking (polar thinking) to the
multidimensional perception of our galactic destiny. On the human level, the Maya
Creation myth offers an age-old lesson about hubris, egotism, and setting up hierarchies
of control. We see this in our modern world in the control of minds through propaganda
and shame-based loyalty to life-destroying habits of thought and behavior.
As we search more deeply in the coming years for the ancient insights into universal
truth that have been increasingly obscured by our descent into spiritual darkness,
we must hold to the principle of clarity. The solstice-galaxy alignment that the
Maya intended their 2012 date to target is the end of humanity's descent into
deepening illusion and confusion. We are about to turn the corner and begin a
13,000-year ascent phase, toward a new Golden Age of light and truth revealed.
However, at this critical juncture all the control systems and delusion-generating
propaganda will be making a final effort to destroy life and consciousness on
the planet. This is our test, to strengthen our ability to discern the truth from
the fiction, and to create freedom for our shared futures rather than attach ourselves
to new dogmas and controlling systems.
The three keys to finding our way to 2012:
Direct experience. Clarity. Discernment
