Since our recent multi-cultural discussions and mentioning of the Maya 2012 prophecies, we have received several correspondences and concerns about the tomfoolery of picking an “end-of-the-world” date, and talking about such Armageddon-esque subjects. Someone even compared me to Harold Camping, who twice in 2011 predicted the end of the world (“because the bible guarantees it!” read thousands of his billboards) before being felled by a massive stroke. (He is currently alive, and can barely speak.)
Firstly, it must be pointed out that the monotheist predictions are entirely about a destructive, painful, punishment-laden end-of-the-world, meted out by a god who is filled with rage and anger. Followers of such predictions revel in and are enraptured by how the “non-believers will suffer and be tortured” and will “gnash their teeth in agony” because they didn't believe exactly what those in the grace of the destroyer did. Upon inspection, it becomes quickly obvious that it is yet another way of imperial control, to instill fear as a mass method of convert or die. The number of times the monotheists have declared the world was going to end are almost uncountable, and always it is the same- a fantasy of punishments for those who didn't obey whichever clergy or politician said the end was nigh. And always it is the same pretzel-and-beer numerology (which only occurs in monotheism, where such “witchcraft” is clearly forbidden) used to calculate and verify the date and time. This flies in the face of the vulgate red-letters, in which it is clearly stated that “no man shall know the time or day of the end of the age”. Be it wishful thinking to escape the misery caused by the clergy and politicians, or be it dreaming on the Norse Ragnarok, monotheism just can't seem to function or exist without the promise of global devastation. Perhaps it is an effect of being the neurotic, infantile “chosen people” of a nasty Molochian entity. Or, perhaps it is as simple as the “I have become Death, Destroyer of Worlds” alchemy being at play in the core of the religions.
The Maya-Taino 2012 date is entirely unlike the scenarios discussed above.
The 2012 date is a specific point in time, based on a solid, repeating, and predictable cosmic calendar, and not some secretive numerology hocus-pocus. The 2012 date is also referred to as the beginning of the Age of Chic'chan or Age of Gucumatz, and not the end-of-the-world. In fact, no where does it state anyone is going to die en masse. The Maya-Taino predictions are about an improvement in the general human condition, not the punishment and destruction of humanity. Also, any returning deity mentioned does not have the nightmare Armageddon sequence of Revelations around it. The Maya-Taino 2012 date has no political overtones other than “the men shall walk free again”, very much unlike Revelations. No beheading horsemen, no crashing poisonous meteorites, no lake of fire for the infidels, no harlot on the back of a monster- all of the intense and consuming images and ideas found in Revelations are nowhere to be found in the Americanos predictions.
The Maya-Taino calendrics indicate many positive changes, and an awakening of the CHIC'CHAN spirit in the men. They also herald the beginning of a new, more humane age on Coaybay Earth, and not the end of life on Earth, or the destruction of mankind.
No matter what culture, viewpoints, or politic you are (outside of being a king), how anyone could look at “All the kings shall fall, and the men shall walk free on the face of (the Earth)” as a feared, horrible event, or attempt to lump it in with monotheism's Moloch blowing a load to torture and destroy everything is beyond comprehension.
The Sun will most certainly rise again, birds will sing and fly again, and fish will continue to swim. All will be well, and be filled with love. Will you be?
