As fascinated as we are by the dark side of our earthly existence

–DaanSpeak writes about it all the time– it did not occur to us before

that many people are already preparing for the moment that the

darkness subsides and the sun will shine again. The development of

alternative ways to deal with nature, the truth advertisements in

large American newspapers by Mike Ruppert and Tom Paine, biological

food in the supermarkets, etc. The examples are of such diversity and

so abundant that you can imagine them yourself. These days many people

not only dream of happier times, but because they already see

daybreak, they have quietly started to make preparations. All kinds of

peoples of all kinds of cultural backgrounds have written about that

daybreak and the period of night that precedes it through the years,

and not only in the book of Revelations.

 

2012 has been calculated by more peoples in different times

All kinds of holy scriptures through the ages have heard the gong for

the last round. The year 2012 is mentioned with striking frequency,

like by the Pueblo-Indians, the Zulus and the Maya. the Maya made

their predictions about the moment when the gong would sound on the

basis of calculations that still hold nowadays. At the center of these

are their calendars by which they calculated in periods of 26.000

years and larger. These periods evolved from their own calculation of

time which seems to be superior in accuracy, also to our own calendar.

In the documentary The Year Zero during a speech, a Maya cleverly

points out one of the mistakes of our Western calendar to the

audience. He says that if we would have calculated correctly according

to the insight of the Maya, we would not have made mistakes in our own

calendar count. The month of October (oct = 8) would now have been the

eighth month, November (nov = 9) the ninth and December (dec = 10) the

tenth. Here and there there's a plea to adopt the natural calendar of

the Maya.

 

2012 is the end of a period of 26.000 years

The Maya were very accurate in their calculations and as a consequence

could make very accurate predictions. They even were so specific that

in this enormous cycle of 26.000 years they could pinpoint the exact

day: December 21, 2012. This date marks the end of the large calendar

and of the cycle of thirteen so-called baktuns after which the earth

starts the 'period of the fifth sun'. According to their calculations,

which still are astronomically correct, our solar system will be in

one line with Hunab K'u, the center of the Milky Way, the place the

Maya call the mother womb. Maya expert Peter Toonen writes in the

beginning of this year in magazine Frontier: 'At that time our Earth

and the sun are in one line to each other in the center of the Milky

Way, therefore with Hunab K'u, the source […]. Technically you can

then get a sort of zero situation in the revolutions of the

electromagnetic fields of our solar system. According to the

traditions of the Hopi Indians, this will take three days; three days

of emptiness and darkness. After that the magnetic poles can reverse.

Who knows?' Whatever happens, the Maya calendar then will start over

with the year zero. the Maya do not have a linear time calculation,

but see time as overlapping circles.

 

The five periods according to the Mayans

December 21, 2012 is the beginning of a large new period of 26.000

years and a smaller period of 5200 years. The Guatemalan 'Mayan Elders

of the Eagle Clan' write: 'This is a cycle of wisdom, harmony, peace,

love, of consciousness and the return of the natural order. It is not

the end of the world as many from outside of the Mayan tradition have

misinterpreted it to be. The first cycle (Ajaw/sun) was a feminine

energy and its element was fire. The second cycle (Ajaw/sun) was of

masculine energy, and its element was earth. The third cycle

(Ajaw/sun) was a feminine energy and its element was air. The fourth

cycle (Ajaw/sun) is a masculine energy and its element is water. The

fifth cycle (Ajaw/sun) will be a fusion of both feminine and masculine

energies. It will be a transition where there won't be any more

confrontations between the polarities. It will bring balance and there

won't be hierarchy of one over the other. Both energies will support

each other. It is why this period is called one of harmony, the

kingdom of love and the return of consciousness. Its element will be

the ether.' No more room for 'dividers' like Bush or other polarizing

types. No more room for Bush's refined, explosive and polluting oil;

but room for the natural, imploding, clean ether-energy.

 

The end of times is a new beginning

The end of times does not mean that the earth explodes and disappears

into a black hole, but that a long period will be ended and that on a

higher level a next period is started. The bad thing is that this

transformation, as so often with a large improvement, is preceded by a

lot of misery. It is like the necessary struggle of the caterpillar to

become a butterfly. The bible calls this turbulent period 'labor

pains'. Just as expressively, the bible tells us that after this a

period will start of a thousand years, in which 'tha satan' is

chained; resulting in 'many many' years of peace. This whole situation

reminds us of the Jesus-story, in which Jesus dies in a miserable

way, rises from the dead and arrives at a higher level by ascending to

heaven. 'This large time cycle has been thought since ancient times to

represent a complete cycle of human spiritual advance', writes John

Major Jenkins.

 

Jenkins: Antichrist is an abstraction, a metaphor

Jenkins is one of the leading Maya-experts. He has written many books

on the Maya, their calendars and their predictions, not only based on

existing literature, but also on personal investigation. Curious as we

are to the answer to the question if the Maya have predicted an

Antichrist and an Armageddon (a 'mother of all wars'), we mailed

Jenkins. He answers: 'I ascribe to the perspectives offered by

Traditionalist writers like René Guénon (Crisis of the Modern World,

Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times). Traditional

civilizations and cultures were contemplated upon having a clear

channel to the transcendent Deity. This ideal culture had, as a main

priority, the basic need of human beings to practice and experience

spirituality. Today, the modern world has degenerated. Guénon bases

this part of his writings on the Hindu Yuga philosophy of time, which

states that for 1/2 of a Great Cycle humanity moves away from intimacy

with the transcendent creator. This results in the terminal stage of

the half-cycle, the end of the darkest age, Kali Yuga, when human

beings are out of touch with their divine, true selves, and human

institutions and leaders are the antithesis of anything that would

support such a world. This is how I'd answer your Antichrist question.

Current world systems and its leaders favour and pursue power rather

than spiritual knowledge. Even our spiritual institutions are corrupt

and out of touch, more interested in controlling the flock. Average

people who accept the hierarchy of power dominance try to scale its

ladder, as if they are ambitious and " players " in the " real world " ,

but instead they are (often unwittingly) just pawns in the larger

system of the Antichrist. [...]'.

 

Jenkins: 2012 is like the gradual transition between night and day

Jenkins sees the Antichrist therefore as an abstraction, like a

system. Jenkins: 'When the half-cycle of downward degeneration reaches

its maximum expression in the deepest realm of the Kali Yuga, we shift

back to a movement toward the creator - there is a reversal or

apocatastasis as it says in Plato's Timaeus. That shift is signalled,

I believe by the alignment of the solstice sun with the galactic

equator - the galactic alignment of era 2012. Around that time - not

on the precise day as it seems to me to be a years-long process - the

Antichrist system will no longer be supported by an orientation of

humanity that faces away from the Creator. Things will have to change

because it is ordained by the cycles of time (the " will of God " if we

may say so. ) Fated, that is, in the same way that night inevitably

turns into day, not because all is predetermined. As we approach the

end of the cycle, predictable end-times dynamics appear as the

archetype of the Antichrist emerges more fully into operation in the

field of history. Witness George Bush.'

 

Jenkins: Armageddon is also a metaphor

Because of all hatred, misery and other negativity that Bush sows, and

the wool that is herewith pulled over the eyes of the public –of which

the majority still does not recognize him for who he is and what he

stands for- Bush is a good signal for an Antichrist, whether it be in

the form of a person or an abstraction. And how about the disaster

scenarios of the bible for the last days? Jenkins: '[. . . ] in my

opinion it doesn't help to understand the end-times dynamic by placing

ones faith in arbitrary predictions about earthquakes and asteroids -

those I believe are just metaphors for the widely felt serious of the

situation and for a drastic transformation that is required when we

abandon all the illusions we've been sold by the Antichrist system.

Illusions of a materialistic consciousness that worships " things " and

quashes true spirituality whenever it tries to survive (witness Native

American decimation). [...]'.

 

Barrios: Big changes around 2012

Jenkins points DaanSpeak to a website of the Organization for Mayan

and Indigenous Studies. Between all that is offered, we find an

article, in which a certain Carlos Barrios is being interviewed. 'Mr.

Barrios is a historian, an anthropologist and investigator. After

studying with traditional elders for 25 years since the age of 19, he

has also became a Mayan Ajq'ij, a ceremonial priest and spiritual

guide, Eagle Clan.' Let us first see what Barrios has to say about the

period to 2012: 'We are no longer in the World of the Fourth Sun, but

we are not yet in the World of the Fifth Sun. This is the time

in-between, the time of transition. As we pass through transition

there is a colossal, global convergence of environmental destruction,

social chaos, war, and ongoing Earth changes. All this, Mr. Barrios

says, was foreseen via the simple, spiral mathematics of the Mayan

calendars. " It will change, " Mr. Barrios observes. " Everything will

change. " He said Mayan Day-keepers view the Dec. 21, 2012 date as a

rebirth, the start of the World of the Fifth Sun. It will be the start

of a new era resulting from and signified by the solar meridian

crossing the galactic equator, and the earth aligning itself with the

center of the galaxy'.

 

Barrios: Just now the dark side is very strong

'At sunrise on December 21, 2012 for the first time in 26,000 years

the Sun rises to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way and the

plane of the ecliptic. This cosmic cross is considered to be an

embodiment of the Sacred Tree, The Tree of Life a tree remembered in

all the world's spiritual traditions. Some observers say this

alignment with the heart of the galaxy in 2012 will open a channel for

cosmic energy to flow through the earth, cleansing it and all that

dwells upon it, raising it all to a higher level of vibration. This

process has already begun, Mr. Barrios suggested. " Change is

accelerating now, and it will continue to accelerate. " If the people

of the earth can get to this 2012 date in good shape, without having

destroyed too much of the Earth, Mr. Barrios said, we will rise to a

new, higher level. But to get there we must transform enormously

powerful forces that seek to block the way.' Barrios does not talk

about Bush and his henchmen, but talks more like George Lucas would

about his Star Wars-series, about good and evil forces: 'Just now the

dark side is very strong, and very clear about what they want. They

have their vision and their priorities clearly held, and also their

hierarchy. They are working in many ways so that we will be unable to

connect with the spiral Fifth World in 2012. "

 

Tactic to conquer the Dark Side

'As Mr. Barrios sees it, the dark side works to block fusion [between

quarrelling optimists] through denial and materialism. It also works

to destroy those who are working with the light to get the Earth to a

higher level. They like the energy of the old, declining Fourth World,

the materialism. They do not want it to change. They do not want

fusion. They want to stay at this level, and are afraid of the next

level. The dark power of the declining Fourth World cannot be

destroyed or overpowered. It's too strong and clear for that, and that

is the wrong strategy. The dark can only be transformed when

confronted with simplicity and open-heartedness. This is what leads to

fusion, a key concept for the World of the Fifth Sun.'

 

The art of fighting without a fight

We agree with Barrios that the Dark Side cannot be destroyed or

overpowered. A fight on their conditions of hatred and violence is

lost in advance; the citizens are not prepared for such superiority in

military en police power. However, emancipation and development have

more often produced strong revolutions. In our opinion, it is best to

fight without fighting and therefore not to enter their arena; the art

of fighting without a fight. Step out of the arena, and see how the

boxers beat each other up in their primitive ways and develop

alternatives.

 

Big changes are necessary

The other side cannot be beaten, but has to be convinced to stop the

destruction and the negativity. It is not really the intention to take

the Dark Side out, that would go too far, but their deeds have to go

from +1 to 0. The positivism of the one party then gets the upper

hand, so that all together we can safely reach the other side. Now, a

few empty-headed hooligans ruin it for the large group and that has to

change. Carlos Barrios: 'We are living in the most important era of

the Mayan calendars and prophecies. All the prophecies of the world,

all the traditions, are converging now. There is no time for games.

The spiritual ideal of this era is action'.

 

Bush is the right man in the right place

Death and destruction are an essential part of life. Without death

there is no life, without dying cells between what later will become

the fingers of a hand, a fetus will not have a hand. But if the

negative side takes over, things go wrong. Empty-headed hooligans, who

sponge on others like pirates, disturb the balance. Bush is the

example incarnate: a rattle-brain, a hooligan, a pirate sailing under

the pirate flag of his secret Skull & Bones society, who sponges on

the hard work of his less fortunate countrymen. He is the ultimate

icon of 'the dark side' and is there for a reason, he is the right man

in the right place. He has an essential function in our lives, just

like death. But if Bush is not careful, and he surely will not be, he

and his friends Blair, Balkenende en Sharon will destroy more than

what is good for us. Before long, with the second cabinet W-Bush in

the White House, you can sit back and wait for the fascist effects of

the draconic post-911-laws, an enlargement of the gap between rich and

poor, the possible conquest of Iran and Syria to dump the Palestinians

there who do not accept that, where after war and terror will exist

again, etc. The mentioned prediction about the Palestinians is also

the opinion of author John Stanton in his article 'Bush's Operation

Clean Sweep: World War IV in 2004?'

 

War is peace

It is time that it becomes clear that the lifelong war against terror

has been called with war being the goal, not peace. Peace is the last

thing a leader wants. In peace time people become emancipated and they

start to make demands. Peace makes people independent and

uncontrollable. It is the nightmare of world leaders. What is needed

is a joint enemy that moulds the people into unity, like one man

behind the leader. Communism was a good enemy: visible, numerous and

strong. But the best imaginable enemy is the invisible enemy: the

terrorist who could really be anywhere and therefore eventually will

be controlled by the most effective police imaginable,

self-censorship. Self-censorship in the media, but also in the

citizen, who will repress his own needs for development, only not to

give terrorists any chances. Therefore, more severe laws are no

problem for this citizen, stronger, he insists on them. Criticizing,

or colouring outside of the (self) indicated lines is out of the

question, 'we are for, not against'. We opt for the fear and feel free

within the walls that we raise. Freedom through constraint. Peace

through war. Communism was good, terrorism is unsurpassed.

 

Period until 2012 is the time of the big cleanup;

how and what is not determined

The period until 2012 is seen by the Maya as a time of cleaning and

abolishment. The purpose is to rid ourselves of all icons of the 'dark

side'. The dark side, as well as the other side, wants to establish a

new era. The question is if we survive the last struggle and who,

after the dust clears, will be the winner. Barrios: 'Our planet can be

renewed or ravaged. Now is the time to awaken and take action.

" Despite the threatening wordings of some Maya-texts, Nostradamus and

the bible, the future is not determined. That is stated by those

Mayas, the incomprehensible Nostradamus and others. All ingredients

are present to make it fail, but all together we can also make it work

well. It is important that many are going to realize that, and that

their new attitude affects the other party. It is possible to turn

things around; it does not really have to fail. The website SacredRoad

writes to DaanSpeak: 'Through their understanding of the Najt, or

spiral of space-time, the Mayan priests and elders are able to predict

with great accuracy future events. But they offer these prophecies as

a warning and repeat that they are not etched in stone. Rather, we

have the capacity to alter the spiral, thus specific outcomes are not

certain. That is why they are calling on humanity at this time to work

towards creating greater harmony and unity. They believe through this

process we may be able to subvert some of the cataclysm that may be

associated with this period of transition.'

 

Toonen: Changes from below

Maya expert and author Peter Toonen states to DaanSpeak over the

phone: 'These times are our chance to straighten things out. If we

don't grab the chance, things can go badly wrong.' That the result of

this 'final struggle between light and dark' is unsure, depends

according to Toonen on the free will that we have as human beings,

only certain parameters are set. In the period until 2012 he sees

multiple scenarios become reality at the same time, positive as well

as negative ones. Some will wager positively, others negatively. But

even the negative can work in a positive way: 'George Bush can

convince people in a negative way that it cannot go on like this. Just

look at the massive peace demonstrations.' Toonen says what DaanSpeak

has been thinking for years: 'The positive changes will come from

below. Don't expect much from governments, they only react after the

fact.' That also became clear on December 4 from the Zembla-report

(RealPlayer) Haagse Herrie, which disclosed more or less that our

Dutch parliament is reacting to the whims of the day, wants to score

in the media by enacting laws, which are retracted later on because

they are superfluous or go too far. What does work is preservation,

but you don't score with that as a member of the Chamber. If you

really want to know how our country functions politically, discover in

this very good NRC-article (Word) by Gerard van Westerloo that the

Netherlands is being governed by an oligarchy.

 

Start with yourself

Barrios: ' " Everyone is needed. You are not here for no reason.

Everyone who is here now has an important purpose. This is a hard, but

a special time. We have the opportunity for growth, but we must be

ready for this moment in history. " ' 'Today spirituality is synonymous

with action; and action is every act of your life, in harmony with

Mother Nature, and most importantly the harmony within ourselves, and

in relation to the way in which we live', according to 'Don Pascual,

Wise elder of the Mam Maya'. Also the earth seems to indicate that we

are living in turbulent times. You don't have to be a Maya or an David

Spritz to see that. The earth possibly prepares for a rebirth, and

therefore it is very possible that you, as a person, experience a

similar process. Think of the instruction parents get before the

airplane takes off; they are advised, possibly against their

instincts, in case of emergency to first put their own oxygen mask on

and after that assist their child. That way they are strong enough

themselves to help their child. You can only help (yourself) when you

are strong. Help the warless fight and (with that) help yourself.

Get rid of as much negativity as you can, first by not spreading it

yourself or feeding yourself with it. With this neutral attitude you

may subsequently even switch to spreading positivism. Do things that

contribute to a better world, especially in your work because that is

where you are the most productive, but also for example by greeting

the bus driver when he validates your ticket. If you want to get a

good understanding of it all, start by moving past the form and look

at the content. Everyone has a good feeling of good and bad, but in

many cases, this simple understanding is confused because of changing

a form (for instance a religion) into content. Promote harmony and

positivism in daily life. In the meantime, we at DaanSpeak will do our

job by exposing the negative, with the goal to put it with the heavy

trash in the end.
