One of the key pieces of
information discussed with reference to the 2012 apocalypse subject
(2012ology) is a long anticipated alignment with the galactic centre, that is,
with the very core of the Milky Way galactic star system. For the sake of
casual readers and those new to the topic let me regale you with my recent
astronomical re-education brought about largely by studying an excellent (and
expensive) astronomy and cosmology book called simply, ‘Astronomica’. The basis of the 2012
alignment as discussed comes from a synergy of several astronomical phenomena
and events. To start with we recall that Earth circles the star called Sol
(hence ‘Solar’ system), Sol is a star out on the so called ‘Local’ or ‘Orion’
arm of a Spiral type Galaxy named The Milky Way. For sake of general interest
lets include also the dimensions of our Galaxy, it is around 100,000 light
years in diameter (excluding the atomic hydrogen gas and dark matter) and
includes some 100 billion stars.
Thanks initially to viewing
other galaxies of the same type it became clear that spiral arm galaxies had at
their centre a bulge. Looking up into our night sky in the right location at
the right time confirms that we to have such a bulge, and that we are indeed
looking edge on at a galactic disk. Comparative studies show that this bulge is
indeed the centre of a spiral galaxy, and has itself a number of unique
phenomena associated to it that should be explained here for a better
understanding of our cosmic position.
Turning our eyes, and
indeed advanced radio telescopes, inward toward the core we see there is a band
of darkness strung along the central galactic plane, this is known as the Great
Rift, and these dust clouds will later cause us some problems in our
observations. Zooming in further we see the Spherical Halo that makes up our
earlier witnessed bulge, it incorporates several globular clusters of stars as
well as the major star birthing clouds of the Milky Way, these form a kind of
shell about the true central core (interestingly unlike the rest of the stars
in the galaxy which all orbit in the same direction, the stars here move in
various directions). This image was created by Prof. Andrea Ghez and her
research team at UCLA and are from data sets obtained with the W. M. Keck
Telescopes. Finally we come to the core itself, long obscured from even the
mightiest telescoped due to those dense clouds around it. Thanks though to
advanced infrared detection we have discovered that the core is slightly peanut
shaped, with a central bar of extremely ancient stars acting like a central
column about which all else turns, residing within ionised molecular gas, a
structure known as the 3-5 kilo parsec ring. The observed velocity of this star
cluster has lead to the understanding that they are being interacted upon by a
black hole with the mass of four million stars! 2012 apocalypse Black holes are one of the
most fascinating phenomena in the known Universe. For those not familiar with
Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, it states that when huge mass is
compressed into small space the normal dimensions of space become warped. At
that point nothing can escape, not even light, with no light we of course have
no visibility of the object. This results in a so called black hole, a type of
quantum singularity into which everything about it is drawn by incredibly
intense gravitational forces. A star significantly larger than our own can in
its final stages become a black hole with intense gravitational pull, therefore
the forces involved in a black hole of four million solar mass is rather mind
boggling. The black hole can be thought of rather like the plug hole about
which water spins as it exit’s a bathtub. Fortunately we are not being rapidly
pulled into our own plug hole, the distances involved seem to allow relative
balance for the surrounding stars. 2012 apocalypse
2012 Apocalypse Theories Some interpreters believe
this to be a transition time where consciousness will evolve while others
interpret Bakt'un 13 to be the end of physical existence. December 21, 2012 the
expected 2012 apocalypse, like any other December 21 is the day of the
winter solstice. Astronomers have calculated the peak time of this one to be
11:11 which adds much fuel to the interpreters of prophecy. There is no denying that 2012
apocalypse and the years surrounding 2012 are bringing the Earth and Sun in
a direct alignment with the core of the Milky Way galaxy and there is no
denying that this is an event that occurs only once every 26000 years. This event involves an
alignment of Earth, Venus, and the Sun and occurs twice in 8 years but once the
paired event passes it doesn't reoccur for a few centuries. One of the main
themes for 2012 apocalypse prophecy i found is the end date of the Mayan
Calendar or Bakt'un 13. Most scholars set the start date at 3113 BC and the end
date at 2012. The number 26000 is a
recurring theme also. The Fifth World prophecy of the meso american Aztecs is
about five eras that end in mass destruction and rebirth. Each era lasts 5125
years. The precession of the equinox is an association between the north pole
and zodiac constellations that lasts 26000. There is the Hopi Kachina
Blue Star prophecy that may involve the 26000 year galactic alignment cycle or
some comets. There is the Sumarian Nibiru
or planet X prophecy that states that a dual sun makes an appearance inside the
orbits of the common planets every 3600 hundred years or so. There is the Seven Fire
Prophecy of the Anishinabe which predicts a return to the harmonic ways of the
past. There are the Bible
prophecies of revelation that predict the rise of an antichrist who tricks
mankind into believing that he is the one sent to save them from themselves and
leads them into utter despair and of a physical/metaphysical war that presents
itself through the decoding of sealed prophecies. Strangely enough this evil
trickster is represented as Lord Tzecatlipoca in the Fifth Sun Prophecy as the
sorcerer with the Smoking Mirrors. There are the Hindu Brahman
prophecies of the Divya Yuga cycle of time. And that is just the
beginning, it seems that every culture and religion in history has had it's
prophets, shaman, high-priests or priestesses able to tap into the psychic
realm to see through time at an age of total physical destruction transitioning
humanity into a new evoluted form of spiritual enlightenment. 2012-apocalypse: maya-katun-prophecies.
The Maya Katun Prophecies 2012 apocalypse The term "Mayan
Calendar" fairly often these days. Mesoamerican astrology is uniquely
time-based and consists of symbolic time-periods grouped symmetrically in
fours, fives, nines, thirteens, and twenties. Such calendar-like groupings are
a kind of astrology, a truly Native American astrology. What is popularly known as
the Mayan Calendar is what archaeologists, anthropologists, and
archaeoastronomers call the Long Count. The Long Count is a large segment of
time (1/5 of the 26,000-year cycle of the precession of the equinoxes) with a
definite starting and ending point. The period began on August 11, 3114 BC and
it ends on December 21, 2012. The Long Count, a span of 5,125 years, was
further divided by the ancient Maya into 13ths, 20ths, and 260ths. The 13th
parts (394 years) were called baktuns. The 260th parts (19.7 years) were called
katuns. The 20ths of the Long Count were groups of 13 katuns (256 years)
sometimes referred to as the "short count." The 256-year cycle of
thirteen katuns, the "short count," was clearly a Mayan prophecy
cycle. Each of the 13 katuns has a specific "fate" attached to it and
the Maya believed that the occurrence, or arrival, of each katun brought with
it this fate. The manner of distinguishing these thirteen katuns from each
other is complex and requires an understanding of the tzolkin/Tonalpouhalli. It
turns out that each of the thirteen katuns in the cycle is indicated by a
number and the name Ahau, this being the day of the 260-day astrological
calendar on which the last day of the katun falls.(2)
Any given katun in the
cycle was always followed by a katun that was numbered two less. For example,
katun 10-Ahau was followed by Katun 8-Ahau. The katun from which the cycle was
said to begin was katun 11-Ahau. (3)
Essentially, the cycle of
thirteen katuns was for the Maya a kind of mundane astrology, not an astrology
of the individual, but of the society and its history. In the several books of
Chilam Balam, the influences of the thirteen katuns are stated, usually as a
description of historical events that occurred during previous cycles. It
becomes clear to the reader, however, that the Maya always expected history to
repeat itself and it is also obvious that the ancient Maya were not very
optimistic about their fate. The delineations below are a composite taken from
the Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel and the Codex Perez and the Book of Chilam
Balam of Mani.
Katun 11-Ahau: Apparently
food is scarce during this katun and invading foreigners arrive and disperse
the population. It was during the span of this katun that the Spanish began
their takeover of Yucatan and imposed Christianity on the natives.
Katun 9-Ahau: This is a
period of bad government where the ruler abuses his people and commits
misdeeds. Rulers are so bad that they wind up losing some of their power to the
priests. Carnal sin and adultery are practiced openly, by rulers and others,
and it is also a time of wars. It is the katun of the "forcible withdrawal
of the hand," a phrase the meaning of which is unclear.
Katun 7-Ahau: This is
apparently a time of social excess including drinking and adultery, a low point
in the history of the society. Governments stoop to their lowest. The "bud
of the flower," an allusion to eroticism, is said to sprout during this
katun.
Katun 5-Ahau: During this
katun of misfortune, rulers and their subjects separate -- the people lose
faith in their leaders. Leaders may be harshly treated, even hung. There is
also an abundance of snakes, a great famine, and few births during this period.
Katun 3-Ahau: This katun
brings changes and calamities such as drought and wars. Katun 1-Ahau: This
katun brings even worse troubles, weak rulers and destruction. Governments fall
apart due to rivalries. Katun 12-Ahau: Finally a good katun. During this period
government and rulers are wise. Poor men become rich and their is abundance in
the land. Katun 10-Ahau: Although this is a holy katun, there is trouble in the
land once again. This katun brings drought and famine and is a time of foreign
occupation, calendar change, and sadness.
Katun 8-Ahau: This may be
the worst of the katuns as both Chichen Itza and Mayapan, the two great ruling
cities of Yucatan, were destroyed during its period. It is the katun of
"settling down in a new place."
Katun 6-Ahau: This is a
time of bad government and deceptive government. There is also starvation and
famine.
Katun 4-Ahau: There will be
scarcities of corn and squash during this katun and this will lead to great
mortality. This was the katun during which the settlement of Chichen Itza
occurred, when the man-god Kukulcan (Quetzalcoatl) arrived. It is the katun of
remembering and recording knowledge.
Katun 2-Ahau: For half of
the katun there will be food, for half some misfortunes. This katun brings the
end of the "word of God." It is a time of uniting for a cause.
Katun 13-Ahau: This is a
time of total collapse where everything is lost. It is the time of the judgment
of God. Governments will be lost to foreigners and wise men, and prophets will
be lost.
This extremely depressing
set of "fates leaves much to be desired. Out of thirteen katuns only one,
katun 12-Ahau, has a positive reading, and perhaps katuns 4-Ahau and 2-Ahau
could be construed to be somewhat positive. Here are the dates of katuns during
the past 1,000 years
The table shows that we
have recently lived through katun 6-Ahau: 1973-1993. During this period there
was deceptive government (Watergate, Iran/Contragate) and we did have an actor
for a president. There has also been an acute awareness of famines in Africa. The
last time this katun occurred was between 1717 and 1736. During this period the
"South Sea Bubble," a major business failure caused a financial
panic, and in England, the old and young "Pretenders" continued to
claim the throne. It was during another katun 6-Ahau, this one from 1460 to
1480, that the Spanish Inquisition was established and Lorenzo the Magnificent
ruled Florence. Finally, katun 6-Ahau of 1204 to 1224 saw the Children's
Crusade, an example of mass deception if there ever was one. Perhaps there is
something to this cycle of katuns.
And what of the present
katun, katun 4-Ahau? According to the Maya inscriptions, the katun began on
4/6/1993 and ends with the entire Long Count/creation epoch on 12/21/2012. Following
the prophecy scheme of the cycle of the 13 katuns listed above, we could expect
scarcities and the arrival of great leaders. It is also the katun of
"remembering knowledge and writing it down." For example, katun
4-Ahau lasted from 1224 to 1244. The next time this katun came up was between
1480 and 1500. Clearly, this was a period of great voyages and discoveries --
but things were also relatively stable politically which made exploration
possible. This period also marks an important period of growth in printing. Katun
4-Ahau came up next between 1736 and 1756. The War of the Austrian Succession
1740-1748 did bring a settlement of territories and a measure of stability, and
there were a number of alliances formed during this time as well. Finally, the
present Long Count/creation epoch of the Maya comes to an end on December 21st
(the winter solstice), of 2012 apocalypse. What will the katun that
begins this new era be like? The Maya regarded katun 2-Ahau as half good and
half bad, a time of uniting for a cause, but also as the katun during which
came the "end of the word of God." It is true that in previous 2-Ahau
katuns there were great religious or ideological crises. Also in 1517 Martin
Luthor started the Protestant Reformation. 256 years later, between 1756 and
1776, the ideas of liberty and the rights of countries and individuals became a
growing trend and this led to the American colonies declaring independence from
England. If the Maya were right, then don't hold your breath for the mere
millennium, the year 2000, hang on for the real changes that should begin
twelve years later in 2012 and culminate with katun 13-Ahau which starts in
2032.
Like a biorhythm, which is
the perfect form of a natural, though usually numerically inexact cycle, the
katun allowed the Maya to better organize their life and to predict the future.
Like a fractal wave, the Maya saw history as repeating itself on differing
scales. With this knowledge they timed their rituals and gave meaning to human
life. 2012 apocalypse
Perhaps the most significant event of our time is the bombardment of a
neutron star August 27, 1998 for five full minutes precisely five years to the
day when Mars for the first time in ancient history came closest to the
earth-signaling the end of the reign of Rome; two years later and two days
later on August 29 Katrina brought down the regime with high winds and
devastation-which all leads to the question: what will happen on 2012
apocalypse , the expected apocalypse when the Mayan calendar ends?
The 5,000 year old Mayan calendar when overlapping the 6000 year old Hebrew
calendar aligns up with interesting occurrences at both the beginning and the
end. The Mayan calendar begins in the year 666 of the Hebrew calendar; the year
1998 is multiple of 666 times three, while in the Hebrew calendar the letters
made to compose the date 5758 could be rearranged to read word Nochus/Serpent.
How will the celestial alignment with the center of the galaxy-known as the
mouth of the serpent-which will happen in the year 2012 apocalypse
effect the earth? Some say the world will end, but that is ridiculous because
God, the Creator has made many promises about the future that must come
true-not for a few, but for us all. There is promised to be a thousand years of
peace called the Thousand Years of Woman beginning in 228 years after the event
of 2012.
Since the Mayan calendar begins on the year 666 in Hebrew calendar and ends
in 2012 of the Roman calendar and 5772 of the Hebrew calendar with 228
years until the end of the Hebrew calendar all begs to be interpreted. The
Creator uses numbers and events to send messages to the beloved creation. The
number 666 added together makes the word Chai/Life it is the life energy of
sexuality which culminates once in each thousand year period.
The year 5000 which occurred three-quarters of a millinium ago was the
beginning of the time period known as Ysod/Foundational Secret when all the
secrets of the world come out-the beginning of the Renaissance. In every 1000
year period there is an occurrence of the 666 the last happenstance of 666
happened in 1906 and for a hundred years has been playing out until 2006 when
the regime fell. Six year later, 2012 apocalypse, the Mayan calendar
ends.
In 2012 the Hebrew calendar will
ascend to its highest point-5772; the number 72 is indicative to the essence of
the human being. The 228 years left until the year 6000 which will constitute
the beginning of the seventh and final millennium culminating in the ascension
of the united human soul to a new planet-can also be interpreted. Written out
in Hebrew the number 228 comprised the word Karachim/Fissures. The year 2012
expected apocalypse is an opening, but after the window is closed there still
remains a wall between Creator and creation.
By 2012 government will be in the hands of the people and all that
stands between the human being and God will be religion; the wall of religion
pens us in with dogma and guilt. To bring down religion only requires fissures
in the wall; because of its innate weakness religion will fall of its own.
Through the fissures in the wall the human soul will merge with the human body;
as the resplendent human spirit radiated from the celestial human soul comes to
the earth the closer to the Creator we will all become.
On that day, the Name (the creation) and the Creator will be one. 2012 Apocalypse 2012-judgement-day
