2012 According to Today's Maya

Drunvalo Melchizidek, author of books on sacred geometry and 2012, just released a series of videos, available free on Youtube, that present the contemporary Maya perspective on 2012. Melchizidek received permission from Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez, the leader of the Mayan council of elders, to disseminate this material, much of it quite fascinating.
According to Don Alejandro and the Maya, the earth will soon undergo a magnetic pole shift and mass crustal displacement, while humanity shifts into a new form of consciousness. At some point, there will be a 30-hour period of blackness – not just an eclipse of the sun, but total blindness – in which people are advised to sit still and wait. This will take place somewhere between now and 2017, with land masses shifting above and below the equator.
In some of the most interesting parts of the video, Melchizidek discusses the essential place of ceremony in Maya culture, which connects us to the heart of the earth and the heart of the universe. He notes that the new paradigm involves the integration of the ancient and modern knowledge, and a movement into a heart-centered way of life.
I found Melchizidek’s last book to be of dubious value. A huge number of psychic experiences were recounted, and it seemed as if he might be somewhat self-deluded or on a power trip as he described how he ran around the planet, saving the earth by performing a series of complex rituals, all of them perfectly guided by spirit. However, I found these videos to be quite compelling and don’t really know what to make of them yet, except to say they should be necessary watching for those interested in this topic. I look forward to having a lively discussion about them here.
One thing that seemed very odd was that, while proposing imminent traumatic events and mass crustal displacements, Melchizidek advises people not to change their current life path in any way, except by starting to practice meditation and turning inward. His viewpoint is that the change is going to be a massive psychic shift, and there is basically no way to prepare for it at this time. He seems to suggest that it makes no difference whether or not you make it through the transition in your current physical form, as everyone will undergo the same transition to the "fifth world" of unity consciousness. I feel very uneasy about ths perspective, and wonder what others will think.
As an odd footnote: After watching the series, I went outside to meander on my block, and had what was either a minor psychic experience or a visionary hallucination in which some white cotton puffy stuff barely illuminated on the dark sidewalk seemed to become a tiny Elfin figure, moving about and gesticulating wildly.

I can understand...

Preparing for the unknown
Well the simple fact is that there is no way we can be prepared for the unknown otherwise it's obvious it would not be the unknown.
The unknown like the mystery of life does not demand to be understood but to be lived...when it happens, unfolds just like life. As a matter of fact Life is the Unknown. When we bend ourselves backward to live in the known we are as good as dead, we are dead, we are zombies...And of course many vested interests are eager to keep us imprisoned in the known; to break free from the known is to break free from all shackles...Obama the Congress The Fed Sarkozy Brown Merkel all the banksters etc.
May all beings be free from suffering, in peace and happy...
The Maya
I would agree with your assessment that the work is of dubious value - party because he opens the video with a narrative about the Mayan calendar system while showing what is, in fact, an Aztec calendar.
I wonder who the "Mayan council of elders" represent - I couldn't find much definitive about them online, anyone know? There are millions of Maya people (6 or 7 million?) living all over central and north America who, I imagine, have a wide range of beliefs, practices and experiences.
The sheer numbers of Maya suggest "the contemporary Maya perspective on 2012" is probably complex and difficult to assess or summarize in any meaningful way.
He has a cool set though!
I agree
with your assesment. There are many millions of Maya in
Central America, so how did " Melchizedek " find this council of elders ? I have deep respect for Mayan culture both past and present, but they are human beings as capable of error and misperception as anyone else. It sounds like these elders encountered a New Ager with a big ego and told him exactly what he wanted to hear.

Lao Tsu
"A wise man does nothing and leaves nothing on done " { quote from Tao Te Ching} In the "Vedic scripture"
Bhagavad Gita, there is much talk of action within inaction ... and inaction within action.
Both of these statements kind of hint at how since change is consistent ... and stability forever in quantum flux ...
One should not confuse their identity with any such duplicity ... whether micro cosmic or macro cosmic "poles of purpose" {polarity}
One could be undergoing all kinds of so-called "preparation" and not be generating unnecessary karma.
One could remain stagnant among such potential for change doing nothing but perpetuating the seeds of karma.
What one shouldn't do is adjust ones identity and/or activity to any such "relativity" ... but merely follow the "tao of revelation" ... {either way}... which does not exist outside of individual chracter .. each unto their own.
The consequent doing or not doing will no longer exist outside of self-perpetuation
Inspiration is change
First impressions
I have not read DM's books and I agree with you I smelled some tracers of self importance but it did not bug me too much. Maybe his running around the world doing ceremony got him this gig with Alejandro, I don't know but there sure is a lot of stupendous new information in these videos. 30 hours of darkness/blindness during 0 magnetic field shifting, physical pole shift to 16 degrees same as E Cayce saw ( I flashed on Anastasia/Cedar Series as coming from the future when I heard this), Hopi, Kogi, Maya from Atlantis for sure according to Alejandro, Nakkals, 13 crystal skulls details. WOW. There are some great new pieces of the BIG CHANGE puzzle story that are finally coming forth from the tribes just in the nick, it seems.
I know that both you and I and RS people are concerned deeply with the relevant question how do we prepare for 2012, and it could seem intellectually unsatisfying to say just meditate and everything is going be alright. When DM says you do not have to change anything in your outer/mind life I felt he meant that one does not have to freak in fear and overreact too quickly. By attending to one's inner/heart as THE guiding or unifying principle seems pretty good advice to me, and it does not mean to me that my outer/mind life path is not changing, just following not leading.
What I have the biggest problem with is the perfection alluded to in the new world. No death, no judgement everything will be a perfect indigenous styled heaven. The ultimate duality we either make it to 5th heaven or go extinct like the dinos( which DM confusingly states in 1 or 2 video). Further confusing me he says that we can all make our resurrection and ascension with or without our bodies with or without doing anything. So is DM saying that in the end it does not matter what you be/do/are, everybody is going to heaven ? Meanwhile he is conducting these critical global ceremonies perfectly timed to save the world. I thought his admission or disclaimer that none of us know what is going to happen in the future was disingenuous, as I felt he was certain or 99.99% certain of what was going to happen. Myself I remain uncertain about the specifics of the BIG CHANGE and will continue to meditate AND pull weeds and plants seeds and share and trade my harvest and skills with my New Mexico family and try not to try to be living in and moving from my heart of hearts. But THANKS Dan for posting the link I thought DM's message was worth taking a look at and I might watch them again, but these were some of my first impressions.
Keep in mind...
...that the specific date December 21, 2012 indeed correlates with a rare alignment of the solstice sun-earth-dark rift/center of galaxy, the physical and energetic result of which is unknown...however, the notion that "the world will end in 2012" did not come from Don Alejandro or the living Maya, but has been integrated over the past 30 years or so into their prophetic philosophy, after having been introduced by Western researchers. (The date can be found on just one monument to date, monument 6, at the site of Tortuguero in Tabasco, Mexico).
I believe that the ancient Maya were indeed well-aware of this galactic alignment and its precise date (thirteen baktuns is the length of one creation cycle), and that they understood that it marked the end of one world-age (cycle of creation) and the beginning of another.
But it's clear that most of us have lost our ability to perceive cycles of time larger than the current human life span, or beyond the life spans of nations, cities, religious writings, and institutions.
The biggest mistake we make is to believe that the result of this shift from one world age to another will be "shown" to us, will "happen to us", that poof! whatever form of chaos can be imagined will suddenly transpire before our eyes. This kind of I-told-you-so instant gratification is contained in TV shows, and media and political mind-control scenarios, and it's currently wired in to our brains.
Rather, I think that the galactic alignment is a confirmation, an affirmation, a sign on the road. The transformation is in full-swing and will continue in its "transformative" or "creative" phase far beyond our lives and our children's children's lives, until we are recognizably evolved beings. That is, so long as we get rid of the notion that Time = a series of events that "happen to us" and replace it with an understanding of ongoing creation (and know that creation is the flipside of destruction. Same coin.)
Three thousand years ago, the Maya were contemplating the importance of OUR time. As humans now living during an important moment in this transformation, we are/were the characters in the imaginations of the ancient Maya...
I've heard Don Alejandro speak in person, and he is passionate about the gringo-led exploitation of the prophecy and its effect on living Maya. He is not only the spiritual leader of the Maya people in Guatemala, he's their political representative, too. He has an office in Guatemala City from where he can watch the movie trailer online for "2012" with reports sitting on his desk from the campo, where the highland Maya live in extreme rural poverty, in villages that are swamped with trash, toxic waste, and ignorance (fueled by Evangelism, the primary religion of most rural Guatemalans). As long as we allow these people to live in conditions like these, we will remain ignorant of the true meaning and potential of their ancient prophecy.
"Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night." - Rainer Maria Rilke
Credibility & Don Alejandro
Since across the board I find DM's stuff rather insufferable, I was just about to snap this closed. Then I saw E. Hart's comments verifying the existence of Don Al. Well, that's a little better. Now, did I understand correctly that he would not be amenable to Drumvalo's declarations?
Anyway, Hart's comments are always refreshing. Hope to see her byline again soon.

Choosing to Change
I find it disconcerting that Melchizidek is advising people not to change their current way of life and adopting a "save your self" philosophy because we are beyond change. That mentality directly contradicts what he states in the opening two minutes of the first video.
He says, "The Maya wish to inform you that...the world is really images that can be controlled by consciousness. Especially consciousness that is connected directly to the human heart."
Now, if the world is indeed images controlled by consciousness, for instance with theories of quantum holograms, what this says to me is that we can change. It says that across the board, no matter what mythology we come to believe, whether in the dialogue of Western science, or through the spiritual teachings of indigenous cultures, we are in control of our destiny.
We are the object of change and desire. Our future lies within our hands, and it is up to the human species to evolve and take responsibility for that, not to sit back and let the changes happen for us. We can only change if we choose to change and bring that intent into action.

Many Ideas......
Everyone seems to have a prophesy.
Hopi-- Predict a 25yr period of purification followed by End of Fourth World and beginning of the Fifth.
Mayans-- Call it the ‘end days’ or the end of time as we know it.
Maoris-- Say that as the veils dissolve there will be a merging of the physical & spiritual worlds.
Zulu-- Believe that the whole world will be turned upside down.
Hindus- Kali Yuga (end time of man). The Coming of Kalki & critical mass of Enlightened Ones.
Incas-- Call it the ‘Age of Meeting Ourselves Again’.
Aztec-- Call this the Time of the Sixth Sun. A time of transformation. Creation of new race.
Dogon-- Say that the spaceship of the visitors, the Nommo, will return in the form of a blue star
Pueblo-- Acknowledge it’ll be the emergence into the Fifth World
Cherokee-- Their ancient calendar ends exactly at 2012 as does the Mayan calendar.
Tibetan-- Kalachakra teachings are prophesies left by Buddha predicting Coming of the Golden Age.
Egypt-- According to the Great Pyramid (stone calendar), present time cycle ends in year 2012 AD

'....The human race will unify as a single circuit. Solar & galactic sound transmissions will inundate the planetary field. A current charging both poles will race across the skies, connecting the polar auroras in a single brilliant flash.'' (Jose Arguelles) ''
....A moment of quantum awakening. A nanosecond will be stretched into infinity and become non-time, during which we will all experience full consciousness of who we are and why we have incarnated.

Hi, Five
…It’s fun saying that.
I liked the listing you posted, and have copied it to a file for future reference.
While I don’t have the time to personally study each of the referenced end-times prophesies in detail from their original sources, I would love to read someone’s reliable compendium of them, and would immediately buy their book. Can you recommend one?
I also very much appreciated the quotes you posted of Ken Carey’s material, and will probably read some of him as well.
My take on this subject is basic. If it waddles like a duck, and quacks like a duck, etc., then it might just be… wait for it… You’ve got it… A Duck!
Having spent (or misspent) thirty years studying the prophesies of Jehovah’s Witnesses as one of their obedient sheeple, I have come to appreciate, not the projected accuracy regarding the inevitability-in-detail of their teachings, but the mass consumption of energy devoted to their research, and the mass infusion of energy directed toward and absorbed by their followers. To me, these many millions (if not billions) of man-hours of devotion to announce an upcoming change in the human condition are an undeniable indication of the existence of an unbelievably massive energy pool from which they, and others are drawing.
Personally, I believe that this massive energy is being deflected back in time from the future event where it originally was created. But where (or when) this energy is coming from isn’t really that important to my comment.
Imagine, if you will, all of the devotion, of all of the people, in all civilizations, during the entire span of human history that has been spent creating all of the structures, (physical, mental, and spiritual) which have focused conscious attention on the challenges, and the consequences, of our day.
If one were able to imagine all of the energy devoted to all of these prophesies, which specifically point to the vicinity of the time that we’re living in, one should be moved to conclude (an understatement if ever there was one) that SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY GOING TO HAPPEN SOON ! ! !
To spend time quibbling over whether any of the details are/were accurate in their original, or translated, or allegorical form, is missing the point entirely. I think the shocking point that all of these prophesies should impress upon us is the inevitability-in-principle (not in detail) of the yet fuzzy realities to which they point. Our resolve should be to try to absorb the such-ness of these massive amounts of energy, even if we can only imagine from where (when) they come, and what their specific purpose may be.
Absorb its energy if you can, feel its general pattern (impressed in each of the many differing prophetic announcements), and brace yourself for a massive burst of change.
Who Knows?
Leo-Night:
It is fun to speculate....isn't it?
However, there seem so be a common rythym to it all which is very exciting!
What incredible times we live in!

Response to Five's contribution
Very nice to read...
Very nice to have...
We are indeed fortunate to be players in this experience.
If we remain conscious and present in the current experience, not making drastic changes of any kind in preparation for what we "think" will occur, we will not be held accountable for "blowing it".
Thanks for your facts. They always help us keep on track. It's good to remember that we're not alone in this effort.

The Moment of Quantum Awakening
At the moment of quantum awakening, change will occur rapidly, rippling across the terrestrial surface like a wave. Everything in the earth's gravitational field will be affected in some way. There will be a time of massive change, of change on a scale that has no historical precedent, though it does have antecedents in the prehistoric events of this and of distant worlds.
The changes that your generation will experience before it passes the torch to another are more fundamental than those that accompanied the agriculture revolution-and those changes took thousands of years. They are more far-reaching than the changes of industrialization, which took nearly three centuries to transpire. Yet, deep and fundamental, massive though these present changes are, they will occur within the span of just a single life. Properly understood, these changes and their coming have the ability to inspire a degree of hope and optimism unprecedented in the history of your race; for they spell the end of mankind's subconscious condition and therefore portend, as the scriptures of the world foretell, an end to bloodshed, starvation, warfare, exploitation, and needless suffering.
Within your lifetime you will witness revelations that will show the foolishness of much that was once deemed wise. You will watch as traditions and historical habit patterns once assumed to be survival imperatives are discovered to be detriment to a healthy life and to a healthy society. Behavior that made sense for creatures who imagined they were islands of individuality is abandoned by those who experience the interconnectivity of all life.
The consciousness that is awakening upon this world is no respecter of Darwin values. Its perception brings new values and new ways of being. During these decades you are seeing the descent of the Angels of Healing.
Even now, all around you-and perhaps in your own life-they are incarnating. In some cases these are beings who have not known human form since before the decent of historical time. It is possible that you are among those who have held only a tenuous and flickering connection with your incarnational successions. It is no matter for judgment. Those who incarnate now, those who bring the fullness of their eternal talents, attributes, and perspectives into today's people, are the agents of healing. They alone have it in their power to experience this awesome time of transition as glorious or traumatic. All are invited to remember their essence, their purpose, their reason for being here, and to bring through into this age of transition the sense of celebration that invariable accompanies such remembrance. Our numbers upon the earth have grown rapidly since our first large-scale arrivals began in the late 1960's.
Yet it is not quantity, not numbers that will make the difference, but the quality of our compassion, the quality of the love that radiates from our hearts. Every individual who becomes a clear and undistorted channel for eternal love into these times offsets a thousand who remain locked in the dissolving values of the old. We are rapidly dispelling what remains of human illusion, helping all to identify with the growing currents, the energies and the forces of love and life. You are already living in the dawning of the age of Planetary Awakening, the age of peace and community building. It is here now for the most sensitive to its fragrance, texture, majesty, and vision. The age has begun when the earth is to be cultivated like a flower garden and her gifts presented as conscious offerings to the gardeners of eternal beauty, the age when humankind return its gifts to the earth, to her soil, her streams, her mountains, her oceans, her creatures of water, air, fire, and clay. The future, as always, holds an element of surprise. Yet some things are as certain as the movement of the stars. A mother never knows exactly what hour she will give birth to her child, but since she has a "due date," an approximate time when the baby is expected and will most likely be born. For millennia now there have been those in various traditions of both East and West who have known that the earth has a due date something during the second decade of the twenty-first century. Though there will be much awakening of individuals prior to the first unified movement of the awakened planetary organism, this movement, like a first breath, will occur in but a single moment.
It is then that the Star Maker will consciously awaken in all systems of human biocircuitry capable of sustaining universal awareness. Babies are sometimes born early, sometimes late. So be aware, be vigilant. Do not discount the possibility that the moment might come as a thief in the night. And do not be among the foolish who will wait until the last moment to come to terms with the rising awareness. This is to be an important occasion. It is the event that is central to all of human history. Our emphasis for many thousands of years now has been and continues to prepare you for this single moment. For though the changes will be dramatic, they need not be traumatic. Though they will bring a fundamental human revisiting of reality's nature, this need not be perceived as threatening. Essentially, it is a positive and joyous event. The consciousness that will eventually emerge will be the consciousness of the Eternal One, the Creator, the Being of Life, awake and aware for the first time inside a material universe.
Human circuitry is designed to accommodate this consciousness. In much the same way that your individual cells understand their relationship to you, each awakened human being understands him- or herself in hologramatic relationship to this unified field of awareness. Since this perception of self differs significantly from historical perception, its emergence in collective human consciousness presents the potential of disorientation in those who might react to its coming in fear. We have much to do before the preparation of human consciousness is complete. Still, even if the awakening were to occur in this very moment with no further preparation, it would be an event of unprecedented beauty. However, in that case fewer people would be in a position to appreciate it. We wish to to maximize enjoyment and minimize discomfort for all concerned. If human beings understand more fully what is occurring, they will be less likely to react in ways that would cause them unnecessary discomfort. Regardless of whether one accepts this change or attempts to back away from it, this event will be of greater power than any the earth has ever seen. More energy will be released in a very few moments than is typically released upon the surface of the earth in many years. This energy will take the form of heightened perception and deepened emotional connection, rejoining the individual and God. Though this unprecedented time of intensified energy radiation still lies a few years before you, you are already near enough to it and the event will be so powerful that time is behaving with increasing subjectivity, bubbling and warping, creating islands of the future wherever there are those who deliberately invoke the energies of the emerging consciousness and demonstrate willingness to live their lives in love. These are not disconnected islands beneath the receding seas of historical illusion. They are united in a veritable continent of rising awareness. As the new reality comes fully into human consciousness (at that moment when the Creator's luminous field comes into perfect alignment with the Earth Mother), all illusion of destructive nature will be dissolved. Though there have been many centuries leading up to this moment, when the moment comes it will be decisive.
There will be a great shift then, a single moment of quantum awakening. In this moment, the smallest interval of time measured in these dimensions-this interval that occurs in every atom between each of its billions of oscillations per second-will be lengthened unto infinity. An interval of nontime will expand. Through that expansion eternity will flow. Some will experience this moments as minutes or hours, others as a lifetime. Still others will experience this flash of nontime as a succession of many lives, and some few will, in this moment, know the Nagual itself, the great nameless Presence that exists before and after all these worlds. In the expanse of the nontime interval, human beings will have all the time they require to realize, experience, and remember full consciousness of their eternal spirits and to recall the origin of their individuality in the primordial fields of being. All will have ample time to recharge their form identity and its biological projection with the awareness of who they are, why they have individualized, and why they have chosen to associate with the planet's human expression. Each one will have the choice to return to biological form or to remain in the fields of disincarnate awareness. Those who choose to return to human form will do so fully aware of who they are. No longer will they be put partially incarnate; they will resume biological residence with the full memory and consciousness of their eternal natures, sharing the creative capacities of the Star Maker, whose reflective cells they will then know themselves to be. Subconscious orientation in fear will be replaced by conscious orientation in love. The sudden release of power, as the polarity of the collective human emotional field shifts from outer to inner orientation, cannot be avoided no matter how smoothly we seek to guide the transition.
All will feel an unmistakable surge of power in the instant of quantum awakening. This is as inevitable as the daily rotation of the earth's continents into and out of the light of the sun. But the effects? The implications? There is no way to predict them. They depend on the choices you make today. By extrapolating current trends of consciousness we can establish a probable range of effect. But there may be as many as eight billion people incarnate at that moment, each with complete freedom of choice. And though the choices each one makes in his or her lifetime prior to that moment will certainly predispose that person in one direction or another, there are no guarantees, no assurances. The spiritual polarity of collective human consciousness did shift one before, triggering a reversal of the earth's magnetic field, a shifting in the position of the poles, and a great deal of destruction. However, that shift was a shift from consciousness to subconsciousness. We will have a degree of control during this conscious shift that was absent then and so do not expect the same sort of cataclysmic shock waves. Still it would be underestimating the variables to assume that earth changes will not accompany this event. Almost certainly some will. These will be for the most part of benevolent nature-a melting of the polar ice caps, for example, bringing rain to arid regions and helping to cleanse toxins from polluted lakes and rivers, a warming and simultaneous moistening of climate that will open to agriculture the extensive plains and fertile river valleys of Greenland, Antarctica, and certain of the world's deserts. To minimize the trauma of this moment for you and others of the human family, it is important that you prepare for it well ahead of time, establishing the habits that will leave your self-understanding fluid, relaxed., And trusting in the overall benevolence of the universe and its resident intelligence.
The best way to prepare for any future moment in time is be fully in the present moment now. The only habit you must cultivate, though it may go against the programming and traditions of your society, is to allow your consciousness the relaxed flow of attention that brings you a clear and accurate picture of the phenomenal world and continuous awareness of the Eternal Presence from which it has unfolded. Such a state of consciousness will allow you to enjoy the rushing energy currents and heightened awareness that will sweep through the earth during the expansion of the nontime interval and will maximalize the stabilizing influence that radiates from you into your local surroundings. Long before the moment of collective awakening there will have been established a sufficient core of people functioning on higher frequencies of awareness to enable the harmonic currents of their respective amplified radiations to displace the influence of those who may react in fear, both at the moment of collective awakening and beforehand. The frequency radiations or vibratory emissions of fear are not harmonious. Their effect on collective human consciousness increases at an arithmetical rate (1,2,3,4, etc.) for each additional person whose behavior is centered in fear, but they do not build in the kind of geometric progression (2,4,8,16, etc.) that is characteristic of the harmonic radiations of love. Before the final instant of final awakening, the radiations of love will constitute the predominant vibrational influence on collective human consciousness, even while a numerical majority remains centered in the historical orientation. That condition is now very near. You who have motivated by love bring to bear on collective human awareness an influence much greater than your historical reason might suppose. Individually you have an impact on the collective predispositions of your species far greater than that of those who are merely trodding the timeworn paths of self-centeredness. You who do your best to make your decisions out of love, who refuse to be controlled by the subconscious machinations of fear, who take time, if necessarily, in difficult situations to proceed slowly, consciously, lovingly, are truly among our own. Your awareness of these things will soon be in full. You are upon we can depend during the coming shift.

Geoff Stray's notes on Melchizidek's videos
I asked Geoff Stray - who runs the Diregnosis website and is the author of 'Beyond 2012", an excellent overview of a vast range of 2012 material - for an opinion. He wasn't impressed with Melchizidek's videos and pointed to a number of errors, both factual and otherwise:
Re Drunvalo:
1. He quotes from Chaos Point without mentioning Ervin Laszlo.
2.The Aztec Sunstone is not the Maya calendar; he points to precession, on it, but it is meaningless - precession may be on the outer dots according to Professor Gordon Brotherston, but not where he said.
3. The waffle about Fibonacci didn't connect to evolution or 2012 - must have been thinking of Smelyakov's Auric Time Scale, but didn't know enough to make sense.
4. The precession cycle does not have an apogee and perigee - these are the nearest and furthest parts of an elliptical orbit.
5. If comet Holmes is the Blue Star, why haven't the ceremonies ceased as predicted in the rest of the prophecy? (My friend lived on Hopi reservation last year and witnessed a ceremony in a kiva).
6. Cayce predictions - there are many errors, not just one. Many sites list them, eg http://www.forteantimes.com/features/profiles/222/edgar_cayce.html
7. He implies that the Maya tracked Milankovitch cycles, but there is no evidence for this.
8. If the stars are not visible at night, this does NOT mean we have all gone blind...what about clouds, fog, smoke, volcanic ash??
9. Don Alejandro originally said 60-70 hours darkness, not 30! http://latinola.com/story.php?story=144 10. Why would don Alejandro speak of Pachamamma, when this is a Peruvian term?
11. He also paraphrased one of my favorite McKenna quotes, (comparing birth side-effects with Earth changes) but of course, he failed to mention its source, as he fails to mention any of his sources, thus impressing the impressionable. I have a friend who related a story about his meeting with archaeologists in Belize, to a woman who was a friend of Drunvalo, and he later saw his story related online by Drunvalo in a publicity spiel for his Serpent of Light book, but the story was told as if Drunvalo was the person who met the archaeologists!
Lets not forget, either that back in 2003, Drunvalo was saying that 2012 is really 2003, so why is he now saying 2012 is 2012? Ah yes, his 2012 book!
Here is the piece I did on it: http://www.diagnosis2012.co.uk/new5.htm#2003
thoughts on Geoff's notes
It's interesting to consider the different psychological types that get involved in the 2012 prophecy world.
There is group who all seem to be of a certain generation - Calleman, Melchizidek it seems, Arguelles to some extent - who are hung up on being The One to brings the knowledge down, the singular authority of 2012. They can't seem to recognize that this becomes another power trip, another ego trip. I think part of this transition is an end to hierarchical knowledge systems, with the realization that nobody has all the answers and we all need each other.
If Melchizidek admitted the places where his knowledge was shaky or his ideas were borrowed from others, he would be more convincing. The sense I get is Don Alejandro a similar psychological type, so it makes sense they found each other.
I agree with the commentator above that if the world is made up images as Drunvalo says, then we don't have to go along with a planetary pole shift and crustal displacement scenario. It might happen - on the other hand, if enough of us can become aware enough of our own psyches and shadow projections we can compel the compass of the future to shift in a better direction.
This could happen soon - perhaps it is already happening.
There are many odd things about this video including the set, yet I wouldn't dismiss all of it, either, because of the factual errors caught by Geoff. Melchizidek seems to operate somewhat out of normal consciousness, in a continual non-ordinary state of awareness. He may not be aware of where he is exaggerating or creating a mythic figure out of himsel. Yet he still may have some useful news for us. In my own mind, the verdict is still out.

I just wanted to point out that many out there would include yourself in that category, Daniel!
(For the record, I do not... I love hearing everyone's different interpetations of "reality"- New Agers and Skeptics alike!)

Things that make you go hrmm...
"According to Don Alejandro and the Maya, the earth will soon undergo a magnetic pole shift... there will be a 30-hour period of blackness – not just an eclipse of the sun, but total blindness – in which people are advised to sit still and wait."
This made me freak out a little because just recently, for no apparent reason, a strange idea popped into my head -- what if <i>everyone</i> suddenly became blind? I started daydreaming the scenario, thinking it might be something M. Night Shyamalan would pay big dollars for, and decided I'd sit still until help arrived.
And today I read Daniel's article. I'm not convinced by 2012 theories (I especially don't trust people like Melchizidek), but synchronicities make me smile.

dream dream dream
I'm not sure what to make of this, but I was pretty startled to hear some of this new information considering the fact that I had a series of dreams last year that seem to be right on track with a lot of this. Shortly after an ayahuasca ceremony I began having a series of very vivid dreams. Airplanes just dropped from the sky as the magnetic field dissipated and gravity forced everything to the ground. Every human now bowed to the earth, in submission, in child's pose. A thick light blinded everyone like a white-out blizzard and then there was darkness for a couple of days. Even if one wanted to move around it couldn't be done. Gravity wouldn't allow it. We had no choice but to remain in the same place. So, as the poles began shifting the earth opened up and swallowed some of us whole. The sea levels rose dramatically. Water filled lands that we've only known as dry. The earth was cleaning herself. Images of water in cities and desserts flickered throughout the dreams.
The importance of "place" was downloaded into my psyche. The concept of absolute submission to God according to the Islamic traditions began to make a lot of sense. The dreams were a reminder of the eventuality of all things as well as a warning about the power of subtle forces and processes that we too often take for granted.
Over time, I forgot about these dreams until I saw the Melchizidek video series. Now, I'm left scratching my head. Nevertheless, I still see this as a time of opportunity for human beings to take responsibility for themselves, for each other, and for our environments. If the universe is a creative, emergent, evolutionary reality that has developed and is still developing through a sequence of irreversible transformations, if it is a communion of beings inseparable by space and time and expresses itself through physical manifestation and psychic/spiritual dimensions, then submission to the spiral flow seems to be a worthwhile endeavor. The trick seems to be utilizing the time we have left to remember how to live within the flow by developing the ability to remain coherent of our own intuition, which will naturally lead us to making heart-centered decisions. (Maybe we all become permaculturists).
The fabric of our reality is love. We must not fear love. I do not for one second doubt the magic of the universe. If you've ever experienced the magic of spirit then you already know that this world has way more work going on behind the veil. We are beings of light already. We just have to remember that we are here to be one with the flow. If we get in touch with our animal guides they will remind us how to do so. We will increase our senses and we will know the importance of place when the storms are coming. We already know how to prepare. We're already doing it.

Grounded visionaries
I think it would be a good idea to ask people that are visionary but grounded, such as Barbara and Dennis Tedlock, anthropologists initiated by the K’iche’ Maya of the Guatemalan highlands:

Dubious value
I found his temperament to be disturbingly disingenuous. "Pffhhh, This was EASY for me, I just made 60 phone calls!"
His understanding of many of the things he discussed seems incomplete. For example, the talk on the golden ratio sounded like he was grasping for scientific sounding stuff up that would appear to support his argument. I'm not able to trust him. If I don't trust him, I find it hard to believe that Don Alejandro or Hunbatz Men would trust him. If they don't trust him, they're likely feeding him misinformation.
Many of the things he said sounded believable and were made to appeal to our scientific minds. But indigenous people have very good reason not to trust westerners and often tell us what they think we want to hear when we go seeking them out, because they usually just want us to leave them alone and saying what we want to hear is a good way to hurry us away. It's why you can't trust the vast majority of what anthropologists say about Native Americans, it's why I don't trust this guy. He came across as a wannabe seeking self-importance in the video, could he possibly be completely genuous in real life? If we can see that, so can the Mayans. I'm taking this with a very large grain of salt.
But, if they're feeding him misinformation, it means that something else is going on. And then the question becomes, what should we make of that?
Surfer Logic
Whatever potential for change there is ... and there always is
... and it "always only" happens moment-to-moment ...
... well one can only prepare for big waves ... by learning how to ride small ones ...
The "riding out" of sequential manifestation is eternal
... if ones is not riding out change now ... how will one do it later.
If one is thinking about bigger waves ... one is missing the present one{s}.
Full absorbtion in the present is the only solution for any/all change
The Mayans
Perhaps the Maya, per se, are not the fabulous cosmologists that we have been given to believe..... and the information of their ( calendar) was given to them by other beings, and they only recorded it in stone?
Hope unknown
bullshit.
All of this conjecture and wonder about what may or may not happen surrounding december 21, 2012 is absolute bullshit.
Melchizedek comes close to the importance of the Mayan message with his note of eternal time. I'm not sure who posted above that was even closer, but the ultimate importance is that we need to start thinking about future generations just as the Mayans thought about ours.
We just need to focus our intentions and resources and skills to change the way we do business and the way too many people fail to account for future generations. When enough people come together doing this, change will occur.
Meditation is good, great, wonderful and will lead us to the heart-centered world we need to transition into, but discussions and investigations into what may happen is absolute bullshit.
Words and knowledge are bullshit too, but that's a different story.
"Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophecy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away."

The Galactic Maya
I think if one is serious about the significance of 2012, it's important to remember that this is an evolution of reality, and reality is Now.
They may be more important than we can imagine, but I just find the whole talk about precessions and equinoxes to be more indulgent than effective.
Concerning the perspective of today's Maya, I find this movie much more insightful:

I did find this talk by Drunvalo to be very interesting:

Notice he says we'll start seeing changes within a year, and that was over a year ago. I hope this video isn't what he had in mind, but then again, it's obviously not.
Thanks for the lead Daniel.

cyclic and cynical
(my english writing and expressing might be a bit strange sometime for it is not my mother tongue..)
Interested in Sacred Geometry I once tried to read a book by DM and I don't know if it was so bad translated but I couldn't continue reading for it merely it concisted of facts without any liaison.
The same with the Fibonacci explanation in this video. I was waiting for some Golden Mean in the cyclic events or timelines but I didn't get the link in the Fibonacci and the Mayan elders in this video?
I have to admit being quit addicted to the 2012 fenomen and more and more this 2012 obsession comes to me as a sign of the attachment to my planetary human excistence (and the awareness of the necessity of change).
As a lot of us know attachment is a major part is our suffering recalling Buddism and the most important is only this one moment.. the now not 2012 or whatever date.
No dought this is a outmost beautiful planet and I'am priviledge to enjoy it's stunning beauty daily, as living in the Pyrenees Mountains. We all want to survive and non of us are looking forward to leave our great mother Gaia.
Just as a flower flowers a day the time of flowering of Gaia this cycle might come to an end and up she goes for a new cycle with or without us.
Excistence all goes through cycles in cycles in cycles maybe we all go extinguied in a natural cosmic cyclic event just as the flower flowering it's one day cycle and then dies physical death.
I tend to be somewhat cynical and rational to the question if we will survive a poleshift on our home Gaia.
DM states that everyone will survive a poleshift I'am doughting this alot just for very rational/practical reasons. It is like saying that no people ever will be killed anymore in storms, floats, errupting vulcanos or other natural 'disasters'.
What time would it nature and it's vegetation take to adapt to the new climat while being positioned very different to the equator compaired to where it was before a poleshift?
Even more cynical:
The more than 50 atomic power plants in France we're I live will just stay up strait and running during such a poleshift event?
And after 30 hours or 90 hours of darkness people just would go back to work to continue keeping these power plants it all up and running safely as if they had had a few days off..?
And all the chemical factories on the planet that so desperate need not to go leaking to prevent dioxine clouds to spread all over the place.
If one considers the human soul to be eternal, like I do, than in that way ofcourse everybody will survive but I asume this is not what DM is saying.
Physical death might bring us to an higher level of consiousness.
And 2012 or not if we don't make it on this planet, life will find another way in the evolution of conciousness like Eckhart Tolle says.
Aum
don't not judge the messenger
