IN LOOKING AT THE MAYAN PROPHECIES people typically focus on the
Long Count calendar, ending December 21, 2012. This closes the last of five 5,126-year cycles. The fact is that many Mayan
calendars end at the same time and what this all means is hotly debated. These “end times” are often viewed as
ominous and linked to Christian ideas of apocalypse. It is true that this era of closure which extends far beyond the year
2012 coincides with environmental and social crisis. Yet for original peoples, reality is cyclic or spiraling. It doesn’t
plow a steady trough, nor does it truly begin or end. Each part of reality, time included, is dynamic and relational. Mayan
calendars are likewise inextricable from human consciousness. This end period of the Mayan Calendar resounds with myriad prophecies
and is said to correspond with the arrival of the sun at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. This and other factors drive
many to conclude that the true apocalypse is the destruction of constricting ways of being. The change that can birth from
these times, they surmise, is the recognition of our true form as light.
Spiritualists and scientists alike tell
us that matter is vibrating energy, a perspective that shifts who we think we are. Human reality lenses, collective dreams
of life, energy and form, are transforming. No matter how solid in appearance, reality is supple. Life is malleable. From
indigenous perspective past, future and even geographical distance is not as we think. All are here and now. Time/space travel
is a given; expansive reality is in the mix of everyday. Extraterrestrial beings, dead ancestors, shamans from distant cultures,
zip through the night sky as balls of light. Time and space are relational, part of a multi-faceted whole. Opening heart and
body opens the gateway to the pliable and dream-like qualities of everyday life. We glimpse the greater whole and gain a better
grasp of why we’re here.
All indigenous peoples I have worked with say this era will purge false concepts
and instigate a higher relationship with life. Despite cataclysmic circumstance, most empowering is to interpret this epoch
as heralding a new cycle. Tibetan and Maya Elders alike tell us we are moving from a Dark Age to an Age of Light. Many say
this Light Age is already here; we humans just have to wake up to it. Whatever dream reality we slumber in we can wake up
to and change. If there is intention to this Shapeshift, it is for humanity to evolve.
