December 21, 2012 – Part 3
Please note: I am not a seer, prophet, or psychic (although some friends will say I’m a bit on the insane side). I don’t pretend to have any secret knowledge. I’m just a writer with an active imagination and, maybe a few useful ideas.
Yesterday I hypothesized that Ahau 2, which starts on December 21, 2012 is an opportunity for us to reevaluate our relationship to the planet and Universe and create the foundation of a new social environment free of war, famine and with the potential to give every person the food, shelter, health care and educational opportunities needed to grow as a contributing member of society. I also hypothesized that, as noted in the prophecy (the end of the word of God), we make these changes without judgement from a higher source – for the time being.
Ahau 13, which manifests from 2032 to 2052 will test our resolve. Ahau 13 states: This is a time of total collapse where everything is lost. It is the time of the judgment of God. There will be epidemics and plagues and then famine. Governments will be lost to foreigners and wise men, and prophets will be lost.
The last time this Ahau manifested was between 1776 and 1796. During that time England lost the colonies and the foundations were laid for the French revolution. Perhaps the creation of one government and the destruction of others during that time was the judgment of God.
What does that mean for us? During Ahau 2, 2012 to 2039, we have the opportunity to create the foundation of a whole new world. When Ahau 13 begins, we will be faced with the courage of our convictions. Will it lead to war? Maybe. Will it lead to wholesale changes in governance and society? Maybe. That is yet to be determined.
By the time Ahau 13 begins we may have developed partical weapons that can destroy entire cities, while also developing the medical knowledge needed to heal everyone on the planet. Will it lead to our destruction as the dominant species on the Earth? Maybe. Our destiny is in our hands. In the words of Pogo, “We have met the enemy and he is us.”

December 21, 2012 – Part 2
Please note: I am not a seer, prophet, or psychic (although some friends will say I’m a bit on the insane side). I don’t pretend to have any secret knowledge. I’m just a writer with an active imagination and, maybe a few useful ideas.
Yesterday I wrote about the current Ahau in which we are living and how it has appeared to meet the “keystone” aspect of the Mayan prophecy. The prophecy says that it is a time of remembering and recording knowledge, and since 1993, when this Ahau began, the technology we use to learn about our world has evolved from printed books to the Internet and more. This shows that there might be something to the Mayan prophecies – at least something to consider.
The next Ahau (Ahau 2) begins on December 21, 2012 and states that there will be food for the first half and misfortunes for half. The prophecy also says that it will be a time for coming together for a cause and an end to the “word of God.” The last time this Ahau cycled through was from 1756 to 1776, a time when the foundations were laid for the creation of the United States.
We will also be experiencing an event that occurs only every 26,000 years as we transit from the lower part of the Milky Way, through the Galactic center to the upper side. The Earth will also adjust its rotation (called a tribulation), which will have an impact on the Earth’s magnetic field.
What does all this mean? It is a time of healing and reevaluation, during which we decide our own future as a species. I infer from the part of the prophecy, which says the “word of God” is ended, that we now have to decide, without judgment from higher forces, whether we really want to continue to be the dominant species on this planet – and if we do, how we make that happen.
To achieve this understanding we can start by answering some basic questions:
- Do we really need war to resolve our disputes, or is there another way to resolve conflicts. We are, for the most part, one large family separated by continents, language and culture, but, in many ways we are more alike than different.
- Are the forms of governance really meeting the needs of the governed and, if not, what needs to change so that every person on the planet has all the food, shelter, clothing, health care and educational opportunities to grow as a contributing member of society.
- We can also ask the same questions about religion and how it is serving us as individuals and as communities. In many ways science and religion are merging to create a more dynamic picture of our relationship to God and the Universe. Its possible that taking things on faith may be replaced more and more by the discipline of proof.
- How can we either use technology to heal and better manage the planet, or abandon technology that no longer serves a purpose or negatively impacts the quality of our lives and the life of the planet.
Its entirely possible that the next Ahau will give us the opportunity to create an entirely new world, which balances our needs as human beings with the Earth and Universe. As a Zen Master once said, “We’ll see.”
Tomorrow: Ahau 13 – a test of our resolve and commitment.

December 21, 2012 – Part 1

I’ve been watching a lot of programs, lately, about December 21, 2012 and what it might mean to us and our little planet. I especially began to look into the Mayan prophecies to speculate about what might be coming around that time.
For this article I decided to start with where we are in the Mayan calendar. The calendar, first of all, appears to explore the march of time as it unfolds for the planet and its governments. It has little to do with individuals, except that we live with the consequences of these changes.
If I read the march of time correctly, the Mayans seem to say that time is not linear, but, rather cyclical, repeating patterns with ever increasing intensity depending on the social and technical advances of the time in which each generation is living.
At the moment we are living in Ahau 4, which began in 1993 and ends on December 21, 2012. In this Ahau there is the mention of scarcity and famine, which is part of almost every Mayan prophecy. Each prophecy, though, has a “keystone” concept by which the accuracy of the prophecy may be measured. In the case of Ahau 4 the keystone is: It is the time of remembering and recording knowledge.
Starting in 1993 the Internet, for all intents and purposes, was in its infancy. Since then, the Internet has become tremendous repository of knowledge. Its entirely possible for anyone to get on the Internet and learn about business, science, philosophy, politics and just about anything else imaginable in just a few minutes.
During this same period human communication has evolved from phones tied to an office or home to cell phones that can not only receive calls, but texts, emails, and voice mail. Our cell phones can also store our contacts, favorite music and personal pictures. In fact, its entirely possible to run a business from a cell phone and, thanks to “cloud” applications, we can even back up all our data on our personal computers, and a designated corporate computer – all wirelessly.
Earlier this week I reported on an experiment starting at the University of Washington for fall Semester, according to the University District Blog published by Fisher Broadcasting. According to the article, forty graduate students will use Amazon Kindle DX electronic readers in place of both textbooks and classroom reading materials this semester. If this experiment is successful, printed text books just might go the way of the Blackboard.
The first test of a prophecy is that it predicts something that can be measured. Tomorrow, I’ll speculate about what might be coming in the next Ahau, which starts on December 21, 2012.
