The Mayan societies disappeared from this planet centuries ago. Today few people have any knowledge or understanding of who the Mayans were or what they left behind. Mayans possessed an extreme knowledge of the solar system and the cycles that control it. As a result of this knowledge they created twenty two calendars. The calendars were used to mark time, of course, but were also created for another reason. Calendars created by the Mayans also documented prophesy and changes in our social structure. Many people are talking about prophesy and the Mayan calendar today. Let us take a look at why that is happening.
The last day on the calendar created by the Mayans is December 21, 2012. This is striking fear in some people and many believe it marks the time of the end of the world. But some people believe it means something else. People who are not shuttering in fear understand the meaning of the prophesies and calendars in a different way.
Because the Mayans had such a good understanding of the galaxy, there is another meaning that can be interpreted. One Mayan prophesy explained that the end of the calendar means a time of great change and transition in the world as we know it. It is a time to move away from self-destruction and move toward a time of peace and harmony in the world. This is a process that was to begin in 1999 and last for 13 years, until the last day on the calendar.
Cycles of the universe can be explained through Mayan understandings. They believed these cycles are fixed, and what really changes are the behaviors and attitude of the human race. It is possible for a cataclysm to occur, but this would only take place if humans refuse to alter their points of view during the transition period. In other words, they prophesied that our future on this planet depends upon our own ability and willingness to make the changes we need to make.
This alternative interpretation explains 2012 are a time to move forward in a good way, and not the end of the world scenario that others believe. It is possible for it to be the beginning of a period of peace and productivity and the creation of new societies. It could be a time when everyone in the human race can benefit.
Most people will agree that the prophesies of the Mayans are worth studying even today. One reason is because some point to situations that have come true. In the first prophesy destruction of our natural environment was predicted. That prophesy predicted the exact time in history that global warming became an issue. It is easy to see that the Mayans had knowledge that was well beyond the times of their existence.
One prophesy described a time for intense change starting in the year 1999. It called upon a period of reevaluation for all human beings. It called on people to go in a different direction, making corrections in relationships, and moving away from fear.
You can find a wide variety of opinions about prophesy and the Mayan calendar. It is a topic that is relevant today, and discussions abound. Forming your own conclusion might be the best way to approach the subject. But it is certainly true that the Mayans left us a wealth of knowledge to examine and explore.
