Mayan Calendar End Date…….
What’s all that about?
By Tony Tippler
Mayan calendar end date, What’s that all about? At the end, 2012, the Maya have left us knowledge encoded in stone in Copan, Tikal, Palenque with all the other beautiful sacred centers with emphasis on Chichen Itza. To understand the way the ancients communicated you have to understand symbolism.
Symbolism to the ancients was their way of communication, everything was symbolic, every rock, stone, branch, stream, cloud, animal, insect was holy and sacred. Every expression had its metaphor around them, above them and in the stars; as above so below. The alignment of the stars the nodes of the moon all foretold something.
In the distance past man was at peace with himself and one with nature, man was telepathic. To explain something he would show you a symbol, this you felt in your soul and you then grasped the understanding. If we study the great cultures of the past, the ancient civilizations we find this to be true. The Egyptians used animals as a symbolic meaning to teach. For pregnancy they would show a pregnant hippopotamus, what could be more pregnant than that? But you had to also understand the full meaning of pregnancy, the gestation, the birth etc. The baboon represents contemplation; look at a baboon the way appears to contemplate for hours. Curiosity was represented by the cat, what could be more curious than a cat? Could the cat also mean the one who sees the light? If we study the vision of a cat we find that it can see just as well in the night as it can in the day.
The Maya used the jaguar to represent knowledge, hidden knowledge. The jaguar also represented the night’s sky as the truth of what we see is hidden. If we move on to the Native American Indians we find the Lakota have also used symbols of animals. In our ancient past, even up to the last several hundred years, we find humanity using symbols of nature as teachings. The Lakota used the wolf as symbol representing teaching, the eagle as spirit. The Vedic used the serpent, the cow etc. It was in the total understanding of the particular animal, plant, tree, etc that the understanding came. If we look at the wolf for instance, the way a wolf takes a mate and keeps that mate for life, how the wolf looks after it’s pack, how the wolf communicates though howling. Everything the wolf represents is symbolic.
Now, if you look with open eyes at the past civilization you will feel this understanding. In the Mayan civilization, which I feel is undoubtedly the oldest, the rattlesnake was the symbol used to represent their civilization. It fits perfectly with the T’zolkin, the Mayan calendar, the greatest calendar mankind has ever made. Understanding the rattlesnake totally will fill your soul full of understanding, love, compassion, and wisdom for the great Mayan civilization of the past. The work of Jose, Diaz-Bolio is a must in understanding this treasure of knowledge.
As we continue to explore symbolism we find everything is symbolic to us.
You could say every ailment or disease that comes through man is symbolic of a spiritual truth, which we seem to have forgotten.
Symbolically speaking, how does this story grab you?
In 1952 on the isolated island of koshima, which is just off the coast of Kyushu man was studying the behavior of the Japanese monkey (macaca fuscata). Provision stations were established and selected sites were chosen. It’s normal for monkeys to learn their feeding habits off their mothers so with the establishment of the provision stations, (artificial food supplies) the formidable behavioral predispositions of the monkey were monitored. However, even with the established repertoire of the monkeys, nothing enabled them to deal with the raw sweet potatoes with sand and grit all over them.
Then, what they called a monkey genius called Imo, an 18 month old female solved the problem by carrying the potatoes down to a nearby stream and washed them before feeding. Imo taught the trick to her mother, she also taught it to her playmates, who then taught their mothers.
Slowly but surely it spread through the colony until all the juveniles were washing dirty food. The only adults over five years old learnt to wash their food by imitating their children.
Then, something happened that takes this story to another level of understanding. An unspecified number of monkeys were washing the potatoes, say 99 for instance, when the 100th monkey started washing the potatoes something seemed to happen. That evening all the monkeys on the colony were now washing the potatoes, now what you could call the ‘critical mass’ had been reached, the knowledge seemed to spread beyond physical communication. Monkeys on totally different islands and even on the main land were washing their food. It was as if once a certain number could do it, It was transferred into the “monkey consciousness” and all the monkeys could do it.
If you think of what this story involves, you had Abstraction, Identification of concept, and deliberate manipulation of several parameters in the environment. So symbolically speaking as nature is our teacher what is this story telling us? Could it be the obvious? Understanding symbolism and this story will fill your soul full of joy.
So what do you make of the above? It’s pretty obvious how stupid we have become in terms of this ancient sacred knowledge. Let’s not fool ourselves; we have become ignorant of the natural laws of the universe. We have forgotten how to love it as simple as that!
It all starts in our schools where we had to put many masks on our hearts to protect the love we all have burning inside. As we go through puberty, as teenagers, we feel the burning in our root chakra. This burning is the kundalini trapped in the base chakra, our ignorance is complete, and we are now trapped in the dense third dimension, ignorant of the laws of the dimensions.
If we look at the lower dimensions 1st, 2nd and 3rd, we find different levels of consciousness. For instance, looking at a one-dimensional being, the snail for example, how would its perception be? I’m hot? I’m cold? I’m hungry? I’m full? Does the snail perceive the leaf coming towards him or does the snail realize he is moving towards the leaf. It instinctively avoids the dead leaf but feels the fresh leaf. Its entire world could well be the single line in moves on.
If we move to a two dimensional being all animals for instance, they have a higher consciousness than one dimensional beings. Take a cat for instance, we find if we observe it we see that they are limited to a two dimensional reality.
It is quite possible that animals can perceive three dimensions. If I hold a cube up to a cat and if a cat could answer me and I asked the cat what is it? The cat would perceive it as a flat object in space. If I were to put my finger behind the cube moving it quickly from left to right the cat would curiously watch the finger unaware that it is my finger. In fact, it may well attack the finger because of its movement. It’s consciousness would not comprehend the truth.
If we move to the third dimension and I hold a cube up to you and asked you ‘what is it?’ You would reply a cube. I would then ask you, ‘how do you know that?’ Because you can only perceive three dimensions, you can not see it as a cube, so as you look upon the cube your eyes can only perceive three dimensions of the cube. You can not see the back or bottom of the cube.
At this point your brain kicks in and tells you it’s a cube. So we are three dimensional beings who can perceive four dimensions.
I know this is not a full explanation but I feel you will grasp the full understanding simply by following this thought.
Now if you observe animals, insects etc and understand what I have explained, especially by observing. you will then get a feeling for what is going on.
We have to realize that we are magnetic beings. Like attracts like. We are pulled together by the lessons we are learning. In a sense it is easier if two work at it than one, but what inevitably happens is we pull each other down.
Looking at mother earth, father sun, the planets, the stars, take that thought to a fourth dimensional understanding and you will begin to understand the purpose of humanity. A school of love maybe? That would be a bit too simple I suppose.
So going back to the Mayan calendar end date what does it mean?
It was a date the Mayan civilization left us to inform us of the end of a great cycle.
If you study the Mayan civilization you will find that they were masters of time, they understood fully the movement of the heavens and the purpose that they foretold,
the nodes of the moon were also important in their wisdom.
Day and night is a cycle, the 13 moons in a year is a cycle, the seasons have a cycle, the years have a cycle, our sun has a cycle, the planets have a cycle, the universe has a cycle. In all of this movement the Maya plotted the evolution of man, the falls in consciousness; they say 2012 will be a raising of consciousness for those who are ready, for those who have done work on the inner self. Thus in 2012 they say it is the great cycle that will close, the zodiacal precisional cycle will be coming to a close, but an even grander cycle will come to a close.
Everything in nature is a clue to the enigmas of life and the universe. You have to understand their meanings. Symbolism is the key. How does good healthy water flow? How does our earth and the planets move following our sun?
It’s all the same, everything in nature explains our purpose and we just have to open our eyes and our heart to understand.
There is the mysterious centre that keeps all the stars in orbit around itself.
This centre, that science knows so little of as yet, is located with respect to our sun and planets in the direction of the constellation Hercules (zodiacal sign Capricorn). Slowly, at the rate of 12 miles per second our sun orbits around and moves closer to this ‘Solar Apex’, as it is called.
That is, at the end of December, each year, the earth is directly behind the sun with respect to this great void, our solar system with our planet is being drawn closer to this colossal magnet. Therefore, the end date has a colossal meaning for humanity.
Going back to the dimensions and the different levels of consciousness we can observe, we know we can perceive the fourth dimension, but we can not see it using our eyes. We have to use our minds eye.
At this time, we are given the means whereby we can know the so-called esoteric truth of our system and its evolution, and the part the earth plays therein, as well as each of its inhabitants. We can go so far as to know that there is a great centre to which we in our system are related and which determines our course, because it is this centre, that finally holds the key to the precession of the equinoxes. It is this centre that makes the axis Capricorn and Cancer the evolutionary axis of our planet and through our study we can know that in ourselves, in our very bodies, we can find the exact reproduction of this galaxy, which then gives us the revelation of the supreme herself.
If we go back in time before kali-yuga (kali-yuga is when the sun is farthest from the galactical centre. Then what the Vedic call dharma…the mental virtue comes to such a reduced state that mankind cannot grasp anything beyond the gross material creation. The grand centre is called Brahma) we find the Greeks still held the ancient sacred knowledge expressed symbolically.
Hence we could say the truth was lost to mankind in the age of kali-yuga. The truth in a sense had to go underground, now we are rising out of kali-yuga and the truth of our past is being revealed to us.
What are you personally going to do with this knowledge?
You should begin to bring ceremony into your lives, learn the colors of the four directions, pray to our ancestors for guidance. Learn the meanings of colors, feel the rhythm of mantras and chanting, feel the heartbeat of the drum, let the flute carry you into remembrance.
Crazy Horse (1842 – 1877) said these words as he sat smoking the peace pipe for the last time, 4 days before he was to be assassinated with sitting bull.
“They shall return my friend. They will return again all over the earth. They are returning again. Ancient beings of the earth, ancient songs of the earth. I give them to you and through them you will understand, you will see. They are returning again, upon the earth.
Upon suffering beyond suffering, the red nation shall rise again. It will be a blessing
for a sick world, a world longing for the light again. I see a time, long after the sky’s have grown dark and dirty and the water has become bad spelling. I see a time of seven generations when all the colours of mankind will gather under the sacred tree of life and one whole earth will become one circle again. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells. For when you are at that centre within you and I within mine, we shall be as one.”
