What do you know about the end of the Mayan calender?
The classical Mayan "long count" calendar has no ending, but continues in cycles for longer than the universe is likely to last. It was just one of several different but overlapping systems the Mayas used to record the passage of time - the baktun (of 144,000 kin or days) was the largest theoretical unit in the long count system, but this could continue to be increased by factors of 20 to give cycles of hundreds of millions of days.





Imagine all the Mayan calendrical systems fitting together like cogs in a machine, constantly revolving and continuing in endless cycles - this is in direct contrast with our own system, which operates as a continuous flat timeline.





The end of one cycle and the start of another have already taken place several times in Mayan history, without the world coming to an end. Don't believe everything you read - 90% is garbage of the worst kind.
Reply:Thanks to Brother for his answer. I Have to say, that my daughter had a teacher in her school declare that 2012 would be the end of the world! Being a little worry wort, she obsessed briefly about this upcoming event. We finally asked her if she was to rely on a calender of a people who have been gone for as long as they have been? But your answer was way better, and I can't wait for her to read it. People have been predicting the worlds end since day one, basically, and it could be in our lifetime, or our grandchildren, no one knows but the man upstairs.
Reply:The ancient Maya were master astronomers, mathematicians as well as master time keepers. Those things which they predicted and their time has come to pass (eclipses etc.) have been surprisingly right on. As for their 2012 predictions, we'll just all have to wait and see what happens. Meanwhile, It doesn't hurt to have a peek at the Mayan Calendars and their prophecies and maybe even watch them unfold.





A good place to start would be their "Calendar Round" (Their Personal Calendar). We could then look at their "Galactic Day" and then their "Long Count" calendar; it's the one most of us are familiar with, that stone circle, with a face at its center (The Mayan Sunstone): Both calendar cycles are set to end and begin a new cycle on December 21, 2012. They also have a calendar that charts all of "creation" from the Big Bang to the year 2012. The Maya claim, that we will have reached our spiritual destination on December 21, 2012. The world "as we have know it" will cease to exist beyond this point (according to them).





The following video shows the mechanics of the Calendar Round. Each symbol (Sun Sign) on the calendar, represents an energy with special characteristics. With an understanding of the cycles and the symbols you'll be well on your way to charting the energies associated with each day. You will even be able to go back to your own birthday and see what energies were around when you were born. That will tell you who you are at the spiritual level since It's when your spiritual energy chose to reincarnate into your present body. That's the spiritual energy that guides you through life. Does your Mayan Sun Sign match your inner self?

The following cycles are most relevant to what may occur in 2012. There is the 25,625 year "Galactic Day" and the 5,125 year "Long Count"(Great Cycle). Both of these are set to end and restart on the Winter Solstice of 2012 (11:00 UST Dec. 21, 2012): That is unless the 2012 Mayan Prophecy comes true (I'll get back to that later).





Let's continue with the "Galactic Day". As we travel around the Milky Way galaxy, it is my understanding that we do not remain at a constant distance nor at the same orientation in relation to the black hole at its center; a black hole the Maya refer to as the supreme creator, "HUNAB KU". Instead, we move in and away from this black hole. As we move in we simultaneously align to the Milky Way's equator or "The Tree of Life" as the Maya call it. In the years that we are furthest away, we become dense low vibrating energy and experience our dark spiritual years: These years are part of the "Galactic Night". In the years that we move closer, we become higher vibrating energy and spiritually enlightened beings: These years pertain to the "Galactic Day". We are currently in transition from Night to Day. The complete cycle takes 25,625 years; approximately the same as what modern science has calculated and named "The Precession Of The Equinox Cycle".

The "Long Count" evenly divides the "Galactic Day" into five equal parts (25,625 years / 5 = 5,125 years). It is my understanding that this cycle also coincides with a natural rhythmic beat that is derived from the black hole at the center of the galaxy in the form of an energy pulse. This energy pulse presumably has multiple effects on us and our surroundings. It not only helps us to become enlightened beings for twenty years, but reeks havoc on Earth by creating larger solar flares which can bring famine, increased earthquakes, and volcanic activity, tsunamis, and sometimes even a pole shift. Twenty years prior to this event, in a period the Maya refer to as "The Time of No-Time", mild energy spurts, from "HUNAB KU", create a shift in consciousness; from left-brain thinking to right-brain thinking (from logical to intuitive). This shift can be experienced all at once or gradually at first moving exponentially as we approach the end of the cycle.

There is one last Mayan calendar I could share with you called "The Nine Underworlds". It is one of the more recently rediscovered calendars and may be the most important one. It is a calendar that has recorded the state of consciousness from the beginning of time (The Big Bang) to Dec. 21, 2012; At which time we will have supposedly consciously evolved to completeness to become co-creators with "HUNAB-KU": It maps out "creation" if you will. No one is sure of what to expect since it is the first time anyone will have experienced this since the beginning of time. It is much too involved for me to get into, but I found a video that covers it pretty well; albeit kind of long.
