Indigenous Cultures - Mayan

On December 21, 2012, the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, a 5,125-year cycle calendar system pioneered by the Maya, will come to an end. At the same time, the earth, the sun and the centre of the galaxy will come together in an extremely rare cosmic alignment. More and more people believe that the world as we know it will experience a transformation in 2012, but few are aware of the complete history or significance of the date. John Major Jenkins, among the most authoritative voices of the 2012 movement, has written a definitive explanation of one of the most thought-provoking phenomena of our time. Drawing from his own groundbreaking research (including his involvement in the modern reconstruction of Mayan 2012 cosmology) and more than two decades of extensive study of Mayan culture, Jenkins has created the crucial guide to understanding the story of 2012 - an essential overview of the history, theory, cultures and personalities that have brought this extraordinary idea into modern awareness. Jenkins provides illuminating answers to some of the most-asked questions about 2012, including:

· How did the early Maya devise the calendar that gives us the cycle
ending in 2012 and how does it work?
· How did the calendar come to be rediscovered and reconstructed
in our era?
· What controversies and intrigues surround the topic and what do
scholars and researchers have to say about them?
· How can we cut through all the noise about 2012 and gain true
wisdom from the Mayan teachings about this moment?

As the Mayan calendar comes to a close, we are entering into a time of great opportunity for spiritual growth and higher planetary consciousness. The ancient Maya foresaw this awakening and thus embedded within their archetypal symbols instructions for harnessing the energies activated during this transformational period. Forming a “language of light” that represents a bridge between physical and spiritual realities, these ancient symbols have the power to catalyse growth, change and awareness.

Interacting with these glyphs establishes a personal “resonance” or direct communication with each of the symbols, creating a conduit through which to receive their galactic energies.

Conceived in a prophetic dream, THE MAYAN ORACLE is composed of 44 cards - 20 Mayan star-glyphs, 13 numbers and 11 “lenses of the mystery” - along with an in depth guidebook. Providing divinatory spreads, poetic meditations and exercises for insight and intuition, the guide explains each symbol's Mayan usage, divinatory meaning and the attributes, elements and items associated with them - from colours and herbs to ritual movements. Designed to stimulate the intuition, this oracle offers a way to interact with the Mayan archetypes in order to elevate your consciousness to a higher dimension and transform old ways of seeing, doing and being.

• Explains the Mayan divinatory meaning of each card's symbol and
their associated colours, herbs, ritual movements and more
• Includes divinatory spreads, meditations and exercises for insight
and intuition

Biblical and historical researcher ,David Montaigne, says that the end of the Mayan Long Count on 21/12/2012 is the official start of the Bible's seven-year tribulation - both were focused on the same astronomical events that occur from 2012 to 2019. The world as we know it will be gone by 2020. Texts from ancient India tell us about great cycles of destruction. The Egyptians told the same basic story with different names. The Maya reveal another version of the story and were very clear about the timing of events from December 2012 to 2019. Your average person is no expert on these cultures, but the clearest details on what is about to happen can be found in the Bible, if you don't let someone else tell you which parts you should focus on. Religious leaders guide us between the raindrops of curious comments in the Bible. We are discouraged from focusing on the parts they say we weren't meant to understand. But if we stop glossing over these important passages we will understand a flood of details about the End Times. Our “leaders” are not ignorant of these events. The elite already know what is about to happen and they have made preparations most rational people would not believe, because evidence is suppressed to avoid chaos. They want us to remain ignorant, or at least to believe that the details are secrets that cannot be known. But the coming events (and their timing) are not secrets. Years ago, this book's publication would not have been tolerated by those in power. But by now it doesn't matter much - their plans are not going to be interfered with at this point. Your plans, however, can still be formulated, if you make the choice to understand.

This groundbreaking new book from the author of THE STONES OF TIME cracks the code of the ancient Maya glyphs. From his research of Plains Indians' handsigns author and artist Martin Brennan shows that the hand gestures in Maya artwork are at the very roots of their language. In more than two hundred drawings he deciphers these handsigns and brings us to a new understanding of the soul and spirit of the Maya.

At the dawn of a new millennium we are rapidly approaching environmental and social crises on a massive global scale. Cries have risen from every corner of the world to challenge the ravaging of Earth and many of her peoples. IN LEGENDS OF THE STAR ANCESTORS traditional wisdomkeepers from diverse cultures share their insights into how Earth's current crisis is part of a larger cosmic plan for the planet's transition into an enlightened age as prophesied by the Star Ancestors. Furthermore the star beings that once seeded the Earth remain with us today in order to assist and guide us through this time of transformation. Healers and teachers from Native American Israeli Tibetan Aboriginal Islamic Japanese and Celtic descent share their knowledge of the role Star Ancestors had within their respective traditions and how it shaped a larger global vision of Earth's future. From contributors as varied as Rabbi Ohad Ezrah to Australian aborigine Jingalu of the Yeagle tribe we further learn of how star beings continue to make appearances on Earth today through UFOs dreamtime and physical encounters.
· Discusses the relevance of the earth-change prophecies given by ancient Star Ancestors.
· Shows the connection between extraterrestrials and renowned healers and teachers from around the world.
· Contains 70 illustrations by prominent artists.

The ancient Mayan civilization had one of the most advanced understandings of astronomy and their calendar reflected this sophistication. But the Mayan calendar is not simply keyed to the movement of planetary bodies. It functions as a metaphysical map of the evolution of consciousness and records how time flows spiritually as well as materially - providing a new science of time. The calendar is associated with nine creation cycles which represent nine levels of consciousness or Underworlds on the Mayan cosmic pyramid. Through empirical research Calleman shows how this pyramidal structure of consciousness development can explain things as disparate as the common origin of world religions and the modern complaint that time seems to be moving faster. Time in fact is speeding up as we transition from the materialist Planetary Underworld of time that governs us to day to a new and higher frequency of consciousness - the Galactic Underworld - in preparation for the final Universal level of conscious enlightenment. Calleman reveals how the Mayan calendar is a spiritual device that enables a greater understanding of the nature of conscious evolution throughout human history and the concrete steps we can take to align ourselves with this cosmic evolution toward enlightenment.

Many researchers have investigated the science of time cycles by using the Mayan Calendar, which tracks the 5,125-year Long Count ending in the year 2012. History shows that civilizations suddenly appeared around 3115 B.C. in Egypt, India, and Sumer that used calendars based on systems similar to the Mayan Calendar, reflecting what was once a universal and sacred understanding of time. In The Mayan Code, Barbara Hand Clow draws on the work of biologist Carl Johan Calleman and many other New Paradigm researchers to unearth the deeper meaning behind the calendar and its message for modern civilization, especially during its final five years.

As we approach the end of the Mayan Calendar, time and consciousness are accelerating. Working with Calleman's time-acceleration theory, Barbara Hand Clow shows how the cycles of time marked by the calendar match important periods in the evolutionary data banks of Earth and the Milky Way Galaxy and that the calendar describes the evolutionary stage to come. She explores how our own personal healing is the most important factor as we prepare to make this critical leap in human evolution--now referred to as the awakening of the World Mind.

There have been many interpretations and predictions about the year 2012, known as the Mayan End Time—touted in everything from books to television commercials. But what do the Mayans themselves have to say about these prophecies?

In THE MAYAN OUROBOROS, the much-anticipated follow-up to his bestselling Serpent of Light, spiritual researcher Drunvalo Melchizedek reveals for the first time what Mayan elders have told him about this period. In this book he, also, explains how to prepare for this transition to a new 13,000-year cycle by learning how to move out of our brain and into our hearts. He shares the Mayan insight of the importance of our heart connection to our survival and ability to thrive during these times.

Plus, THE MAYAN OUROBOROS reveals:
· The untold positive side of the Mayan prophecies
· The Mayan End Time—a seven-year period of transition which
began in 2007
· The magnetic pole shift that is currently affecting humans around
the world
· The new ways in which humans will begin to perceive and
communicate in the world
· The discovery of thousands of ancient Mayan codexes that are
currently being decoded by the Mayans
