The 2012 Report: The Golden Age At The End Of Time
Everyday more people are learning that the Ancient Mayan Calendar enigmatically comes to an end on December 21st, 2012 (or October 28th, 2011 according to some experts). The Maya believed that our world will “cease to exist” as we know it after December 21st, 2012. Popular culture has jumped onto the “2012” bandwagon in recent years… primarily focusing on the “End of the World” as a massive destructive event. The History Channel recently aired a documentary for their “Decoding History” series called “Doomsday 2012: End of Days”. In “Doomsday 2012” the History Channel points out many of the dire realities of our times, along with correspondences with Mayan prophecy. The History Channel’s take on 2012 is a very common one, particularly among the “unenlightened”: “The World is Coming to an End in 2012… Beware!” (Or, just go ahead and ignore this ridiculous prophecy because we all know that the world is not going to come to an end in less than 4 years!) What you usually don’t hear about is the fact that the Mayans taught that “yes, our current world IS going to END on December 21st, 2012, but the opportunity exists for it to be replaced by a FAR BETTER WORLD!” Here is a preview of the History Channel’s “Doomsday 2012: End of Days” video
Various Culture Around The World Prophesize The Coming Of A Future Golden Age… Always Following An “Apocalypse” of Course! Every major spiritual tradition foretells a future “Golden Age”: Christian, Islamic, Hebrew, Native American, Vedic, Taoist, Ancient Greek, Buddhist, etc. These spiritual traditions all prophesize that a major worldwide catastrophe of Natural and Manmade causes will immediately proceed the dawning of a “New World” of Universal Peace and Prosperity.
Additionally, all the spiritual traditions indicate that it is our collective choice whether this catastrophe occurs or how serve the catastrophe will be. The purpose of prophecy is to prepare for future events… not to fatalistically dictate the future. Prophecy creates the opportunity to change the direction we are headed in order to realize something better. We have the opportunity now to relieve the harshness connected with the radical changes coming soon predicted the Mayans and others.
“The Great Year” Philosophy and Astronomical Reality Many ancient teachings refer to a “grand cycle of time”. Plato and the Greeks called this cycle “The Great Year”. “The Great Year” is the cause of the rise and fall of human civilization. Every ~26,000 years, Planet Earth completes a “Great Year” cycle. Chances are you have heard “We are entering the Age of Aquarius”. What this refers to is one of the most important pieces of knowledge handed down to us through Astrology. Astrology is the science of interpreting the movements of the Heavens. Astrology is one of the oldest, if not the oldest science. Through observation of Heavenly movements, the ancients came to understand that when certain celestial objects were in certain positions particular manifestations in the physical world could be expected. One of the greatest and most mind‐boggling discoveries that the ancients made through astronomy / astrology is that approximately every 26,000 years the Night Sky makes a complete loop around the Zodiac. The ancients associated particular “Ages” with this circuit through the loop of the Zodiac. The Ancient’s related the Earth’s “Age” (position relative to the Zodiac in the 26,000 year cycle) with particular levels or types of Global Consciousness. The Ancients used the Spring Equinox to determine the “Current Age” of the Planet. At dawn on the Spring Equinox (or Vernal Equinox) the Sun rises in the constellation of the planet’s current Age… As of today we are leaving Pisces and entering Aquarius.
Greek, Hindu, Persian, Egyptian, Chaldean, Hebrew, Christian and Chinese astronomers / astrologers all acknowledge and track the passage of The Great Year through the Zodiac. The Zodiac itself is recognized worldwide with nearly identical symbolism attributed to the various animals. It takes about 2150 years for the Earth to travel through each “Age of The Great Year”. The appearance of Jesus Christ and His Message, signified the start of the Age of Pisces. 2000 years later we are on the verge of entering the next age: The Age of Aquarius. The physical reality of The Great Year is the observable movement of the Night Sky over very long periods of time. The astronomical / technical term for this phenomena is “Precession”. However, the Ancients had a lot more to say about “The Great Year” than the simple astronomical reality of it.
The Ancients proclaimed that…
Movement through the Great Year Cycle is responsible for the Rise and Fall of Civilization! A common myth among all Ancient Peoples worldwide is that long ago all of humanity enjoyed life in a virtual Paradise. The Greeks and Vedic (Hindu) cultures called this time “The Golden Age”. Christian / Hebrew / Islamic tradition calls this “Eden”. Indigenous cultures speak of the “Golden past of their Ancestors”. The myth of a past “perfect way of living” appears to be Universal. Alongside most of these myths are two additional references: that of “The Fall” at a particular time in the past, and that of a coming “Redemption”. In the traditions that kept the concept of The Great Year most alive, “The Fall” and “The Redemption” of Humanity is directly linked with the Great Cycles of Time. The Ancient Greek and the Hindu/Vedic traditions have left behind the most knowledge of The Great Year. Both of these traditions agree in where they place us in time right now… and both tell us that we are on the cusp of “turning the corner” and heading back toward a Future Golden Age. When I think about the Mayan Calendar’s “End Date”… I think about The Great Year. And when I put those two together, I understand exactly what the Mayan’s were pointing at with their “End of The World”… They were pointing at the transition point from the energetics of one Age to the energetics of “The Next Age”.
Science’s “Problem” with “The Great Year” There is a lot more to The Great Year worth looking into. An example is the “scientific problem” with “Precession”.
Problem Number One: No one can account for how the Ancients could have calculated The Great Year / Precession cycle ‐ because it is sooooooo long! The ancient people would have had to posses extremely sophisticated measurement equipment to directly observe Precession – or they would have had to continuously and very precisely observe the movement of the stars for extremely long periods of time… like several hundred years!
Problem Number Two: The conventional explanation for the observable reality of “Precession” is that Planet Earth “wobbles” on It’s axis. However, there is no scientific theory to explain what causes or originally caused this “wobble”. It is an enigma that conventional science has ignored due to lack of a ready explanation. But, some newly emerging evidence could serve as an explanation for “Precession”… and it is quite remarkable. Our Sun may be one part of a Binary Star system (which over 70% of the stars in the universe are!)… and our “sister star” appears to be pulling our Sun and Earth in an unpredicted direction… closer to the star Sirius and The Pleiades Star System! Sirius and The Pleiades were two of the most significant locations in the sky to the Ancients. The Great Year might very well be connected with this.

Galactic SuperAlignment of 2012 The Maya knew something very significant about December 21st 2012. They knew that on this date Our Galactic Center will be in perfect alignment with the Rising Sun. December 21st, 2012 falls on the Winter Solstice. The Winter Solstice is the day of the year that in the Northern Hemisphere the days stop getting shorter and start getting longer again. In terms of physical reality, this day could truly be considered “New Years Day” because it marks the transition from days becoming increasingly shorter to days beginning to get longer again. The extreme significance of December 21st, 2012 is that a major “Galactic Alignment” occurs on this day. Every Winter Solstice is significant because of the physical shift in Earth / Sun alignment that happens on this day every year. Adding a major Galactic Alignment to the Winter Solstice, we begin to understand the particular significance of December 21st, 2012…
On December 21st, 2012 the Center of Our Galaxy aligns perfectly with the Rising Sun of the Winter Solstice (astronomical “New Year”) The Maya recorded and passed down the knowledge that we live in a Galaxy and that our relationship in 3‐D space to Our Galaxy changes over time. Just as The Great Year maps the movement of the Rising Sun in different Zodiac Constellations, the Maya recognized that on the Winter Solstice our relationship to Galactic Center shifts in a similar Grand Cycle. For the last ~13,000 years Planet Earth has been “pointing down” in relationship to Galactic Center. On December 21st, 2012 Earth’s alignment will begin to “point up” in relation to Galactic Center… and will continue to “point up” for the next ~13,000 years!

Consciousness Evolution and 2012 The final important factor related to the Mayan 2012 date I want you to be aware of is the Mayan Calendar’s historical prediction of all the major “evolutionary leaps” of Life and the Universe… going back to the Big Bang!” Some of the most interesting research into the Mayan 2012 realm revolves around the idea that 2012 is NOT a marker of “The Destruction of all Life” but that it marks an “end” or “death” of an “outdated, broken, and dysfunctional” worldview… and the “birth” of a “new, progressive, and more appropriate” worldview. The research of Carl Johan Calleman supports this outlook very strongly. Calleman has mapped the most significant events in the evolution of Our Universe directly to the Sacred “Tzolkin” calendar of the Maya.
The Tzolkin marks the following events as “critical evolutionary transitions” The Big Bang Solar System Formation First Meteor Bombardments First Animals (Sea Life) Transition to Earth Life First Mass Extinction First Primates (Familial Lifeforms) Color Vision First Humans (Tribal Life) Discovery/Use of Fire Ice Age First Language (Civilization) guage (Civilization)
Cultural Art Extinction of Neanderthals First Writing Christianity Dark Ages Industry Automation World War II Present Time – 2011 = Accelerated Evolutionary Period
Calleman’s theory is interesting because it uses the Sacred Tzolkin to indicate major evolutionary changes in the past… all the way back to the Big Bang. Calleman’s theory ultimately suggests that on October 28th, 2011 we will have completed a super‐ cycle of evolution that has been exponentially accelerating since the beginning of Our Universe.
Important Note: Calleman’s theory identifies the “Evolutionay Quantum Leap Date” as October 28th, 2011 – over 1 year before the well known December 21st, 2012 date. Perhaps our evolution is complete on October 28th, 2011 then we have 1 year to “get our act together” before our new relationship with “Galactic Center” begins on December 21st, 2012. The work of Carl Calleman is interesting and deep. I highly recommend taking a serious look at it.

2012 Study Guide 2012 Essentials “Beyond 2012” Geoff Stray has been collecting the vast amounts of data relating to the 2012 phenomena since 1982. Far from confining his research to the Maya, who provide the most prominent predictions indicating this date will herald significant changes for humanity, he has studied the prophetic traditions of other cultures‐‐including the Tibetan, Chinese, Jewish, Ethiopian, and tribal cultures from around the globe‐‐to show the kind of convergence of cosmic purposes happening along a number of parallel tracks. This book offers an extensive study of many modern theories, including Terence McKenna’s timewave zero and Maurice Cotterell’s sunspot research as well as anomalous phenomena such as near death experiences and crop circles. Sifting through all the scientific research and speculation that the year 2012 has inspired, Geoff Stray provides an encyclopedic look at what we might really expect on this pivotal date. Read it Here “The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness”‐ Book by Carl Johan Calleman Fantastic research into the Mayan Calendar as Evolutionary TimeKeeper.

this film as an antidote to the rather panicky offerings in the mainstream media. It s a far more common sense approach. Watch it Here “The Great Year” – DVD by Walter Cruttenden This excellent video is not about 2012 specifically, but about the ancient teaching of a great cycle of time the Ancients named “The Great Year.” Ancient people around the world all believed in a nearly 26,000 year time cycle in which Mankind moved up and down on the “scale of consciousness,” experiencing ages of Gold, Silver, Bronze, Iron then returning to Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Simply remarkable research and very high production quality. A real surprise is presented too: chances are the our Sun has a Binary Partner, and this other Sun is the reason for the Cycle of “The Great Year.” Get this video now!

Countless books and websites, magazine articles and newspaper headlines debate its meaning, with enthusiasts in two camps: those forecasting apocalypse the end of time and those who see a coming renewal, a rebirth of consciousness. Adding fuel to the debate, some scientists see the increasing number of natural disasters in recent years as evidence of a catastrophic climax of events in 2012. How much of what we are hearing is science and how much is superstition? In this film the leading researchers, writers and scientists in the field tell us exactly what this date means to them, why it s important, and what we should expect. Watch it Here
