Twentytwelvology. You won’t find it in Webster’s dictionary. Not yet. But
believe me, before this decade is out, we’ll have that as well as plenty of 2012
-isms and -ographies. The 2012 Phenomenon” was recently the subject of
a paper written by anthropologist Robert K. Sitler.1 The sub-title of his paper
brings focus to his approach: “New Age Appropriation of an Ancient Mayan
Calendar.” In his assessment of the writings and statements of popular writers,
New Age teachers, and independent researchers (including myself), he sorts the
wheat from the chaff and exposes “merely tangential connections to the realities
of the Mayan world.” To his credit, he distinguishes the serious work done by
myself and Geoff Stray2 from the wild and unfounded speculations of other
writers.Sitler’s area of focus is the Long Count calendar and its 2012 end-date,
which is the subject of growing interest and controversy – not so much among
academicians, who dismiss it as irrelevant, but among spiritual seekers and
people interested in the wisdom attained by ancient civilisations. So, what’s
all the clamour and confusion about? What is the Long Count calendar?
The Long Count Calendar: An archeological site
that’s been known about for decades preserves an open secret about the culture
that invented the Long Count calendar. Izapa, in southern Mexico a few miles
from the Guatemala border, was the chief ceremonial observatory of “the Izapan
civilisation.”3 It was the transitional culture between the older Olmec
civilisation and the emerging Maya, and enjoyed its heyday between 400 BCE and
50 CE. My investigation of Izapa’s carved monuments and the site’s astronomical
orientations have revealed a great deal about how they understood the Long Count
calendar.4 The earliest monuments carved with Long Count dates were found in the
region of Izapa and have been dated to the 1st century BCE. The Long Count
notation uses bars to represent 5 and dots to represent 1. Five place values are
almost always used, representing the following periods of days...

Remote viewing is nothing new in Tibetan monasteries. For thousands of years remote viewing in the middle of other spiritual activities have dominated Tibetan culture. What some Indian tourists came to learn from a few Tibetan monasteries under the current Chinese rule is extremely alarming and fascinating.According to these tourists remote viewers are seeing world powers in the course of self-destruction.

Contrary to what you may read on the Internet, the world is not going to end in 2012. A rogue planet named Nibiru is not on a collision course with Earth. And a solar flare won't toast the planet. It's all fiction, though the makers of the film "2012" may lead you to think otherwise. "I don't have anything against the movie. It's the way it's been marketed and the way it exploits people's fears," NASA scientist David Morrison at the Ames Rese...Why 2012?
Robert Bast, somewhere, May 2001
Here is an
idea worth considering: Thousands of years ago humankind had attained a
high-level of technological achievement. They understood laws of nature that are
unknown to us today. They explored Antarctica and mapped the entire globe. They
made monuments that we would have difficulty recreating with our modern
techniques and equipment.
Then tragedy struck in the form of a global
cataclysm. They were not expecting it. The disaster was so terrib...2012 Philosophy
1. Humanity and Planet Earth are currently going through a huge change or shift in consciousness and reality perception.2.
The Mayan civilization of Central America was and is the most advanced
in relation to time-science knowledge. Their main calendar is the most
accurate on the planet. It has never erred. They actually have 22
calendars in total, covering the many timing cycles in the Universe and
Solar System. Some of these calendars are yet to be revealed.3.
