2012 and the Mayan Calendar--7 Myths
Remember “Y2K”? Consider the noise
surrounding 2012 and the Mayan calendar to
be similar.
The alarmists and poetic New Age opportunists
who promote their tall tales while tugging at
your heart strings with “heart-centered”
communications will move on to other things
in 2013.
Yet
another correction in the financial markets
will probably take place in 2012, along with
extreme weather conditions around the globe
and other calamities, but none of it will be any
more out of the ordinary than any other year
over the past several thousand. Even if E.T.s
landed on the White House lawn in 2012, it
wouldn’t have anything to do with the Mayan
calendar.
Do yourself a favor and refuse to accept feel-
good prose mixed with half-truths and outright
myth as fact. Escapism and Hollywood-esque
science fiction isn’t “spiritual,” it’s just a means
for profit for the New Age snake-oil salespeople
while taking you on a ride to nowhere.
We highly recommend fact-checking everything
in films/books centered on 2012 and the Mayan
calendar. Stories of catastrophe and doom sell
and there’s a huge market for such
misinformation.
The Mayan calendar is a perpetual calendar, it
had to end/start over again at some point, and it
isn’t the most accurate calendar when you
compare it to others throughout history.
December 21, 2012 is merely the first day of
the Mayan calendar 13th “b’ak’tun” (144,000
day cycle), and when a new 5,125.37 year
(1,872,000 days) cycle begins. Just as we
begin our modern calendar (which is a more
accurate time keeping system than the
Mayan calendar: http://tinyurl.com/yzqyxar)
on January 1st, the longest cycle in the
Mayan calendar starts anew every 5125.37
years.
7 Myths surrounding 2012 and the Mayan
Calendar:
1. The New Age 2012 authorities speak of
“transcending many of the worst prophecies
already…” (and if you buy their next book and
attend their seminars, you can transcend the
others too).
2. The “future of humanity” is not at stake and
there is no “critical crossroads, evolutionary
jump and shift in consciousness, and radical
transformation,” in connection with the Mayan
calendar and 2012.
Humans have always been spiritually
progressing for eons, and everyone’s evolution
is unique and transpires at various rates. For
some, the year 2012 may be a very important
year, for others not at all. And that goes also
for the years leading up to and following 2012.
Additionally, as humanity moves beyond each
decade, century, and millennium as reflected
in our modern calendar, there always have
been and always will be adjustments and
shifts of varying degrees (e.g., year 999 to
1000 AD): they are gradual, and represent
different things to everyone depending on
their unique personal charts.
3. The Mayan calendar (Tzolkin) has not
predicted “…every eclipse (and other
astrological phenomenon),” as some 2012
exploiters claim.
4. There is no “galactic alignment, occurring
for the first time in 26,000 years.” At this time,
Earth is approximately 30,000 light years from
the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Also,
viewed from Earth, the Sun will only appear
to be in the center of the Milky Way, and this
“alignment” happens every winter solstice
(yawn).
5. Your “spiritual parameters” aren’t dissolving
at this time (leading up to Dec. 2012) to allow
you to “create the reality you want...” That’s
just another false-hope-for-profit scheme.
6. “Everything” is not leading up to 2012 and
things are not “coming to a head.” The
magnetic
fields aren’t weakening, the Sun has
not “already lost its poles,” and the Earth’s
poles aren’t melting any more than at any
other time in recorded history.
7. The Mayans said nothing about disaster and
doom, financial or otherwise in relation to 2012.
The recent financial crisis has nothing to do
with the Mayan calendar and 2012--it’s an
extremely tenuous link.
Prediction is all about pattern recognition. In
order to establish a reliable pattern you have
to note every time there is a significant,
regular juncture in the cycle. In this case, the
Mayan calendar, it’s every 144,000 days
(394.3 yrs. in our modern calendar), or every
5,125.37 years for the longest Mayan
calendar cycle.
However, you must look at multiple cycles/
indicators (Scott relies on over 500 in his
systems of analysis) to get reasonable
accuracy rates, in particular how the universal
cycles relate to you personally (personal
cycles).
At the start of each 144,000 day/394.3 yr.
Mayan cycle, you’ll find these years in our
modern calendar (besides 2012), going back
in time: 1618; 1224; 830; 435; 41, etc.
Notice that none of those years coincide with
any of the most significant financial crises in
recorded history, as outlined below?
*Tulip
craze/collapse of mid 1600s
*South Sea Company craze/collapse early
1700s
*Railway mania bubble in mid 1800s
*Stock market crash of 1929
*Dot.com crash of 2000-2001
*Mortgage/credit crisis 2008/2009
(The Great Railroad Bubble is one of history’s
worst
financial collapses: Speculators in
Britain spent more than 25% of GDP, the
equivalent of $4 Trillion today.)
It could very well be that we’ll see another
financial markets/credit collapse in the near
future (e.g., 2016/2017); everything is cyclical,
including boom to bust financial cycles, and
they have nothing to do with the Mayan
calendar.
The 2012 story-tellers who exploit an
impressionable audience’s thirst for escapism
should be seen for what they are: myth
propagators and profiteers.
We believe that end of the world scenarios
and Mayan "prophesy" that promises ruin and
transformation for all of humanity are 100%
entertainment. It’s deplorable that so much
New Age content is full of fabrications and
falsehoods. It’s just an opiate for the
uninformed and adds to the colossal body of
evidence that exposes the bulk of the New
Age industry as a racket.
“…(the interpretation of 2012 as a
doomsday or ‘cosmic-shift’ event is) a
complete fabrication and a chance for a
lot of people to cash in.”
Sandra Noble, executive director of the
Mesoamerican research organization
“There
is no serious scholar who puts any
stock in the idea that the Maya said anything
meaningful about 2012.”
David
Stuart, director of the Mesoamerica
Center at the University of Texas at Austin
