Mayan cultures died off many centuries in the past. Many people in the twenty first century know nothing about the culture and what they left for us to study and understand. The cycles of the universe were critical in Mayan societies. Because of their deep understanding they made 22 different calendars to explain their knowledge. Although the calendars recorded time, they also contained other information. The Mayan calendars were also prophesies. Today many people are starting to study these calendars very closely. Prophesy and the Mayan calendar is become a topic of deep discussion, and we will explore the reason this is happening.
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.
Because the Mayans had such a good understanding of the galaxy, there is another meaning that can be interpreted. One Mayan prophesy explained that the end of the calendar means a time of great change and transition in the world as we know it. It is a time to move away from self-destruction and move toward a time of peace and harmony in the world. This is a process that was to begin in 1999 and last for 13 years, until the last day on the calendar.
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.
With this interpretation one can see that 2012 can be a time of moving forward in a very positive way, and not the doomsday nightmare that many believe. It could be a time of creating societies that are more productive and peaceful than in the past. It is a time for all of mankind to benefit from a positive change.
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.
Beliefs in prophesy and the Mayan calendar vary from one extreme to another. You will have to decide for yourself what your own belief is. But one thing is certain, Mayan culture is just as relevant today as it was when that passed along their knowledge centuries ago.
