Mayan Calendar 2011 vs 2012: How Does It Affect Me?
There is a question among the 2012 speculators as to whether the Mayan Long Count calendar ends on December 21st, 2012, or on October 28th, 2011. Carl Johan Calleman, author of books such as “Solving the Greatest Mystery of Our Time: The Mayan Calendar” and a paper titled “The risks of believing that the Mayan calendar ends December 21, 2012!” which can be downloaded here, states that “two intellectual cultures have emerged around the two possible end dates, one based on belief, December 21st, 2012, and one based on evidence, October 28th, 2011.”
In his paper, Carl makes the point that the culture that believes the Mayan Long Count calendar ends on December 21st, 2012 is based off of an erroneous assumption that the precessional cycle has anything to do with human consciousness, whereas in contrast, there is much evidence in ancient Mayan texts that deal with the Nine Underworlds and Thirteen Heavens that describe the cosmic evolution of consciousness. Calleman proposes that those in the 2012 doomsday culture are generally benefiting in some way, be it through products or fear, whereas no one in the 2011 camp (the the best of his knowledge) is touting any end of the world scenario.
In his paper, Calleman also predicts that there will be significant economic event in the sixth night of our current cycle, which would be in November of 2009. It is important to remember that the economy is just an idea, the vast majority of the money or wealth only exists as numbers in computers and on paper. When former president Bill Clinton spoke on Larry King in February 2009, he stated “In the last five months, some $30 trillion in asset wealth has disappeared worldwide — declining stock values, declining values of oil and gas and gold and all kinds of minerals and metals and other assets.” Although this wealth “disappeared,” what really happened? Numbers in computers changed, the illusions of value, nothing more. If the world economy was to collapse, everything that exists would still have intrinsic value. Advertising and mass media, among other things have helped establish our illusions of value. The destruction of those illusions may help us move into a more healthy direction for the creation of our reality.
To try to help us understand how the Mayan calendar effects us on both an individual level and on a Universal level, Ian Xel Lungold, a founder of MayanMajix.com, who can be seen with Carl Calleman here, gave an extremely interesting three hour presentation “The Mayan Calendar Moves North.” This eighteen part video can be seen in ten-minute parts here, part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, part 8, part 9, part 10, part 11, part 12, part 13, part 14, part 15, part 16, part 17, part 18. Although this one is lengthy, if you are hearing this information for the first time it will fly by.
Ian shows how the Mayan calendar cleverly puts our planetary evolution in context with the nine levels, and thirteen steps. It not only shows the telescoping and accelerating nature of our evolution, but it demonstrates how one type of consciousness takes over for the previous one, building on all that has come before. According this research, we are currently moving from a law consciousness to an ethical consciousness. An ethical consciousness shift may be able save us from laws that are have been corrupted over time, and Lungold believes it will open the door to positive relationships with our galactic neighbors.
What is most exciting about this perspective is the introduction of a participatory worldview where each one of us is collectively creating our own personal and shared realities. This viewpoint carries a responsibility and accountability that has been seemingly vacant in recent history. It also has the ability to empower us all, instead of accepting the current situation as something out of our control, we actively participate in making it better for all life.
Whether or not the calendar ends in 2011 or 2012, all that matters is what is happening right now inside each one of us. How we deal with our current problems will help us deal with any unforeseen events that may happen in the future. In any case, we will cross that bridge if and when we come to it, so focus on making the best of right now!
