The End Times
The End of the World. "These are the End times and the people must know the truth, share what we have taught you. There can be no more secrets now if we are to survive as a thinking species through these times." "This," they say, "must be done because the dream of humanity can only be preserved through the combined efforts of all peoples, and the joining and merging of all cultures into a oneness." -- statement of the traditional Hopi Elders as told to Cho Qosh Auh Ho Oh, a Chumash/Yaqui/Maya Indian http://www.wovoca.com/
"Our prophecies say there will be three signs of the end of the world: we won't be able to drink the water, the trees will die from the tops down, and babies will be killed like dogs. And now it's all happening! Only you white people call at water pollution, acid rain, and 'legal' abortion." Corbett Sundown, Seneca chief. http://www.wovoca.com/prophecy-seneca-corbett-sundown-end-of-the-world.htm
"The earth is like an animal. When an animal's sick, it wiggles and twitches. And just before it dies it shakes even harder, it shakes all over. That's what we call the earthquake and the volcano and the hurricane. Yes, it’s already starting to happen. And it'll get worse -- you'll see! The world is wiggling and twitching and shaking just before it dies!" http://www.wovoca.com/prophecy-seminole-buffalo-jim-end-of-the-world.htm
"World War III will be started by those peoples who first revealed the light (the divine wisdom or intelligence) in the other old countries (India, China, Islamic Nations, Africa). The United States will be destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and radioactivity. Only the Hopis and their homeland will be preserved as an oasis to which refugees will flee. Bomb shelters are a fallacy. "It is only materialistic people who seek to make shelters. Those who are at peace in their hearts already are in the great shelter of life. There is no shelter for evil. Those who take no part in the making of world division by ideology are ready to resume life in another world, be they Black, White, Red, or Yellow race. They are all one, brothers.
...The war will be 'a spiritual conflict with material matters. Material matters will be destroyed by spiritual beings who will remain to create one world and one nation under one power, that of the Creator.' That time is not far off.
…The Emergence to the future Fifth World has begun. It is being made by the humble people of little nations, tribes, and racial minorities. You can read this in the earth itself. Plant forms from previous worlds are beginning to spring up as seeds. This could start a new study of botany if people were wise enough to read." http://www.dreamscape.com/morgana/pan.htm
"Of all the prophecies I have studied, the simplest and most profound is that of the Hopi (Peace) culture. The Hopi believe that they are the keepers of peace in the world. They are living the way of peace which is the world's salvation before and during the time of purification. The Day of purification does not have to occur, it is up to us the citizens of Earth to avert this day from ever occurring by living the Hopi life of Peace." http://www.tribalmessenger.org/prophecies/hopi-hopi.htm
The End of Time? "The ancient and many modern Maya groups believe that the universe has been renewed four previous times.
…Each prior attempt at the human creation was destroyed by a different catastrophe which ended the universe. These stories vary by Maya group
…The astronomically-based Mayan calendar will be completing its first great cycle of approximately 5,200 years in late December, 2012. Although there is no substantial evidence that the ancient Maya considered the date significant, many people have postulated that this is the "end of the Universe" from the Mayan perspective, and others believe that the Mayans meant this to symbolize the "coming of a great change" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eschatology#Native_American
"A key truth is that there is a DIVINE PLAN. The future belongs to those that trust in the process and are willing to go with the divine plan. The main tool for understanding this plan is the Mayan calendar. The truth about the Mayan calendar is really not difficult to understand. …
1. Humanity and Planet Earth are currently going through a huge change or shift in consciousness and reality perception. …
3. The Mayan fifth world finished in 1987. The sixth world starts in 2012. So we are currently 'between worlds'. This time is called the 'Apocalypse' or revealing. This means the real truth will be revealed. It is also the time for us to work through 'our stuff' individually and collectively.
4. The Mayan sixth world is actually blank. This means it is up to us, as co-creators, to start creating the new world and civilization we want now.
5. The Mayans also say that by 2012-
- We will have gone beyond technology as we know it.
- We will have gone beyond time and money.
- We will have entered the fifth dimension after passing through the fourth dimension
- Planet Earth and the Solar System will come into galactic synchronization with the rest of the Universe.
- Our DNA will be "upgraded" (or reprogrammed) from the centre of our galaxy." (Hunab Ku) http://www.2012.com.au/Site.A.html
"The Maya calendar is actually a system of distinct calendars and almanacs used by the Maya civilization of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica.
These calendars could be synchronised and interlocked in complex ways, their combinations giving rise to further, more extensive cycles.
…The essentials of the Maya calendric system are based upon a system which had been in common use throughout the region, dating back to at least the 6th century BCE. It shares many aspects with calendars employed by other earlier Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Zapotec and Olmec, and contemporary or later ones such as the Mixtec and Aztec calendars.
The end of the 13th b'ak'tun is conjectured to have been of great significance to the Maya, but does not necessarily mark the end of the world according to their beliefs, but a time of re-birth. According to the Popol Vuh, a book compiling details of creation accounts known to the Quiché Maya of the colonial-era highlands, we are living in the fourth world. The Popol Vuh describes the first three creations that the gods failed in making and the creation of the successful fourth world where men were placed. The Maya believed that the fourth world would end in catastrophe and the fifth and final world would be created that would signal the end of mankind.
The last creation ended on a long count of 13.0.0.0.0. Another 13.0.0.0.0 will occur on December 21, 2012, and it has been discussed in many New Age articles and books that this will be the end of this creation or something else entirely. However, the Maya abbreviated their long counts to just the last five vigesimal places. There were an infinite number of larger units that were usually not shown
…and the larger places are nowhere near the 13s that would match the end of the last creation." (Schele and Friedel 1990: 430) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_calendar
"I went …with my charts and my book and showed them to this Mayan shaman. And he looked at the stuff and he went, 'yech, yech. This is Arguelles! Dreamspell!' I said, yeah, the Mayan Calendar. He goes, 'no, the Dreamspell is not the Mayan calendar.'
…I followed this Mayan shaman around for four days.
…By the end of the four days I knew this guy was probably telling the truth, knew what he was talking about.
…[T]here were over 10 million people who believed that the Dreamspell calendar was the Mayan calendar. So I had to go to Guatemala to find out for sure.
…It was good that I found out the truth that the world had been lied to about the Mayan Calendar.
…At the end of the time I had sworn to them and to the Mayan people I would straighten out all of the misconceptions about the Mayan calendar worldwide." http://www.2012.com.au/Site.A.html
"The date December 21st, 2012 A.D. (13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count), represents an extremely close conjunction of the Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator (Equator of the Milky Way) and the Ecliptic (path of the Sun), what that ancient Maya recognized as the Sacred Tree. This is an event that has been coming to resonance very slowly over thousands and thousands of years. It will come to resolution at exactly 11:11 am GMT." http://www.greatdreams.com/2012.htm
"The Maya believed that their world would end on Dec 21, 2012. Of all the dates put forth by prophets and cultures for a doomsday, this is one with an authentic almost eerie feel to it. But what will happen? A global cataclysm is one possibility. Presented here is enough information to help you decide - be you an expert or a beginner." http://survive2012.com/
"Planetary Ascension year 2012. 2012 is by many separate sources of wisdom seen as being a portal into what some people call the Golden Age. 2012 marks, according to the The Mayan Calendar, the ending of Time as we know it and as something old die something new will be born. …The concept of a coming Golden Age is widely recognised among many spiritual authors, spiritual traditions and teachers. "I think that by 2012 you will have people that are enlightened (open, honest, caring, loving, united to the divine) and those that still seek humanity's lower natures (suffering, misery, hate, separation from the divine) but at least the scale may be tipping more toward enlightened."
