Gnosis schmosis. Get with Calendara de Maya.
The Mayan Calendar | Calendars offers access to info on the accuracy of the Mayan calendar. The site is subdivision of a larger Web site offering information on several calendars if you're interested in measuring time.
This site:
http://www.exodus2006.com/6maya.htm tells us: "It may just be coincidence, but the Mayan calendar was drawn up in such a way that it ends completely in 2012 and, as we have seen, this is also the year of the third comet in the Bible Code."
So, I am assuming that we are all talking about the same End Times here.
Just to make sure of the structure and accuracy of the Mayan Calendar, you may access "The How and Why of the Mayan End Date in 2012 CE." at
Why 2012? where you learn about the "Short Count", "Long Count", "Mayan Sacred Astral Tree", "Procession", and other data relating to the Mayan Countdown to the End Times.
Now to get information about the Good News relevant to the Mayan End Times, go to:
http://paulapeterson.com/Mayan_Calendar.html which advises: "The date specified in the calendar - Winter Solstice in the year 2012 - does not mark the end of the world. Many outside people writing about the Mayan calendar sensationalize this date, but they do not know. The ones who know are the indigenous elders who are entrusted with keeping the tradition. Humanity will continue, but in a different way. Material structures will change. From this we will have the opportunity to be more human."
The good news, however, is tempered with the bad: "The North and South Poles are both breaking up. The level of the water in the oceans is going to rise. But at the same time land in the ocean, especially near Cuba, is also going to rise." Boy, ain't it great to know that Cuban cigars will still be available during the End Times!
But the same site advises us against hedonism during the Mayan End Times: "Eat wisely. Pay attention to what you are taking into your body. Learn to preserve food, and to conserve energy. Learn some good breathing techniques, so you have mastery of your breath. Go to the sacred places of the earth to pray for peace. One simple but effective prayer technique is to light a white or baby-blue colored candle."
I don't know about the rest of you, but it's gotta be baby blue candles for me.
Now in a more metaphysical vein, over at the Prophet's Manual
ProphetsManual.com is available at DomainMarket.com. Call 888-694-6735 we learn the following:
"The end of [the Mayan Calendar] that falls on winter solstice 2012 is [the] biblical apocalypse or judgment day. [It's the] same event described in all 'mythological' or spiritual teachings of the past period under different names. In Egypt it’s the time of Zep Tepi or return to the beginning — original point of creation that’s periodically repeated through cyclical nature of time in order to transform old into new. It’s very nature of space/time as described in rising of phoenix (benu) bird from its own ashes. In Sumer and Babylonia same event is referred to as 'times of crossing' associated with passing of 11th planet (Niburu), which is also depicted in Egyptian 'mythology' and elsewhere. (There's those pesky Nephilim and Anakim again.)
"Evolution is spiraling double helix that changes in quantum sequences and time in between different sequences that allows for process of learning and maturity."
Now see. That last little tidbit of valuable information was not even available to me here at Evolution vs. Creation! Finally, I am enlightened regarding the true nature of evolution. And had to go to some wacky metaphysical Website to find it.
So basically, I'm left pondering what to pack for End Times. Seeds, beef jerky, Tang, clean socks, hip boots ... and, oh yeah ... weapons, ammunition, tobacco, bibles, alcohol, glass beads, mirrors, amulets, and silver, right?
I guess if you're well-funded, you can find a good survival manual here:
TIM LAHAYE BOOKS - The End Times Controversy, The Rapture, Understanding Bible Prophecy for Yourself, Charting the End Times Prophecy Study Guide, Revelation Unveiled, Are We Living in the End Times, Perhaps Today, Tim LaHaye Prophecy Study Bible, Rapture Under Attack at ARMAGEDDON BOOKS - Antichrist, 666, Tribulation, Rapture, Millennium. But I want to get by a cheap as possible. I mean, what if Stephen's 2006 and Pacal's 2012 end times turn out to be bogus like all those previous apocalyptic prophesies have?
