Personally I believe the Mayans were clearly advanced (Scientifically) well beyond what we perceive to be their technological capabilities… They unerringly predicted many planetary events with Swiss-style precision. I have no doubt “Something” is going to happen, what? I don’t know, but I will welcome the event with good food and drink.

NASA points to an extraordinarily potent Solar Maxim(um?) that will peak around 2012. Normally an event that goes unnoticed, cyclically, every 12 years or so… but due to an rare “Closeness” of our planet and the Sun, this one will be as NASA says, “A doozy”. This will disrupt many things with sensitive electronics, satellites cel phone communications, possibly other things to, but this in itself will hardly be an end-of-days harbinger.

Some of this is natural “Angst”, we can see our selves as a species reaching an apex, globally, ecologically, spiritually and technologically (Look up the technology singularity). It is natural, and probably sensible, to assume that we humans will eventually wipe ourselves out, through some self inflicted disaster, as has already been pointed out, from our inability to regulate our food consumption, to our rude disregard for our environment and precious resources, we don’t stand much of a chance in the long run.

I hope I’m wrong, but I see too much evidence every day to convince me that 80% of the human species is too stupid or arrogant to do anything but burn everything hard and fast until there is nothing left.

So on that note, on my birthday, December 21st 2012, I will be partying like it’s 1999!!

Consider the CERN experiments for mini-blackholes. As James Blodgett notes CERN admits there’s a .001 chance of the black holes expanding through a chain reaction which would then vaporize the planet. Blodgett notes that the physicists consider .001 chance to be nonexistant. Yet as a statistician Blodgett emphasizes that a .001 chance is what the space shuttle encounters with each voyage but a .001 chance would not be allowed for a commerical airplane, nevertheless physicists are allowing that risk level for the WHOLE PLANET. Blodgett has debated the CERN physicists and Blodgett contacted me after I posted a message online several years ago noting that astronomer Timothy Ferris had this to say on the CERN mini-blackholes: There’s a very slight chance the planet could be destroyed but it if happens no one will know it happened. The Oz Effect for the whole planet.

And so science operates as a huge unconscious repression of oppressive technology which the scientists then project back onto the planet as a whole. The Oz Effect is just one example of how a human experiencing occult high-tech would also become unaware of the black hole tunnel traversed into another dimension of spacetime. Usually the experience is then made conscious through hypnosis — just as Buddhist master Nan, Huai-chin details paradoxically there are “different levels of empty awareness.” And so science also justifies the possible vaporization of the planet as a necessary risk to eventually enable the whole universe to “evolve” through the advances in scientific technology. But as Sri Ramana Maharshi states about consciousness — nondual awareness: “There is no evolution.” That’s the difference between awareness as electromagnetic perception and consciousness as its own reality beyond spacetime.

But taking a comment meant for “Nick” and pasting it over at Rigorous Intuition where, as far as I can tell, no one named “Nick” exists, just makes you look a tad bit loony.

I know I’m belaboring my point by coming here, but I’ve read enough of your RI comments addressed to non-existent RI-ers to wonder about your mental state.

Now that I know you’re just absolutely enthralled with everything that you type and you feel the need to share with others.

Which is fine. I’m just suggesting a little editing.

Your post at Rig Int would have looked much more reasonable if it wasn’t addressed to a “Nick” who wasn’t there.

Peace.

1) Science is not “based on the solar calendar”, that is nonsense based on a lack of knowledge of what science is or does. It is CIVILIZATION that is based on the solar calendar.

2) The Mayan calendar is off two days every 10,000. The most widely used calendar in use today, is the 1582 Gregorian calendar. It loses three days every 10,000 years. The Mayan calendar, which is not in use anywhere in the world today, loses two days every 10,000 years. How do we know this? Because the science of astronomy has told us this.

3) If the Mayan shamans could not get their calendar perfectly right, what is there about it that you would want to pretend it got any other thing perfectly right?

4) It does not matter WHO predicts the galactic alignment, what matters is the difference between the alignments will still be nil. Go read some history textbooks and see for yourself — the last 39 galactic alignments that have taken place in the last 200,000 years have had absolutely no effect on human consciousness or the environment, so again, why will this galactic alignment be any different?

Anyway here’s the deal: I’ve read Daniel Pinchbech’s 2012 book (which launched this latest new age craze — sorry but true). B & N features half a dozen new 2012 books! Also I’ve corresponded with Daniel quite a bit when he posted on his old website http://breakingopenthehead.com

The two books on the Mayans that I recommend are 1) Martin Pretchel’s “Secrets of the Talking Jaguar” and 2) Ptolemy Tompkin’s (son of New Age guru Peter Tompkin) — the title slips me, something about a tree under hell…

The point being that REAL Mayan culture (and I’ve been to the pyramids) is actually village shaman-based NOT pyramid-calendar ritual based. So in village shamanism the culture is much more like Taoism, where everything is gendered.

Now, as for the astronomical cycle, Sage raises an interesting point, but as usual, from WITHIN science, without taking into account the social and ecological consequences of science as a whole. That’s the MAIN difference between THIS galactic alignment and the previous ones — science is based on the SOLAR calendar, whereas the original Mayan culture was matrifocal shamanism (just like West Africa or Taoism, etc.).

So, take, John Gribbon, for example. I was reading another of his more recent science books — on the big bang. He was discussing the PROJECT POLTERGEIST — the search for neutrinos. I found that name fascinating. If you take a look at Peter Woit’s new book on how particle physics is a big scam — NOT EVEN WRONG is the title — he details how the model for neutrinos still is based on infinites which can not be renormalized.

Project Poltergeist — the beta decay of electrons through the nucleus does create alchemical transmutation. Nevertheless the scientific model for this relies on creating another particle which is hardly reliable as a product of nature. Science is a big scam and not just science - but ALL solar-based calendars.

So 2012? The fact is the Mayans were AFRAID of zero — because zero is the matrifocal principle of creation from formless awareness or pure consciousness. Kali is the same troubling concept (kala means time in the Vedic calendar and Kali is when time ends in destruction but then starts over as consciousness). If you’re a pyramid-priest ruling over a war-based dynasty then of course you will be obsessed with the idea of time ending or having some sort of linear, phallic trajectory.

All of these calendars rely on symmetric-based visually dominant perception which is just a byproduct of what Jacques Cauvin calls the “symbolic revolution” of circa 10,000 BCE. Matrifocal bushmen culture, in contrast, has been documented going back to 80,000 BCE. I just got the “Healing Dance of the Kalahari San” c.d. from the Smithsonian — amazing healing trance music of WOMEN singing.

Taoism and true matrifocal cultures are based on the concept of Number being ASYMMETRICAL or complementary. All of Western math relies on symmetric-based visually-dominant number (including the Mayan calendar). So the true meaning of 2012 is that 1 plus 1 does not equal 2. In other words 1:2, the harmonic octave, resonates, through natural overtones into 2:3 or yang — the perfect fifth harmonic, which in turn resonates into 3:4, the perfect fourth harmonic. That’s the Pythagorean Tetrad - the secret of Quezacoatal (sp?) — or whatever — Kundalini, etc. The Bushmen snake statue is from 80,000 BCE — the oldest snake worship on record.

In other words in the Mayan calendar and in Western math there’s a one-to-one correspondence of letter and number so that A x B = B x A. But I just showed you that in natural overtone harmonics 2:3 = 3:4 so that A x B does not equal B x A. That’s the secret of nonwestern shamanism, alchemy, etc. — and you won’t find it from the pyramid priests.

No links on hand, but its something along the lines of the Mayan “long-count” calender reaching 13.0.0.0.0 on Dec. 21, and then the next day going back to 0.0.0.0.1 (Dec. 22).

So it may very well be nothing more than that.

Rise of the European Union? Given their plummeting birth rate, in a hundred years there might be enough Europeans left to operate the medieval theme parks for Europe’s new owners, the Chinese and Indians!
