Common Error Over Mayan Calendar 

First of all, the word ‘Mayan’ is misused in popular culture. The people of the Mayan culture, both ancient and modern are Mayas, not Mayans. There are millions of poor grammatical references floating about on the Internet today. To make things worse, the popular reference connected to 2012 end of the world is that is that it is the effects foretold to be coming at the end of the Mayan calendar. 

To correct millions of people’s misuse of educated English, the proper way to speak of this count of days is the Maya calendar, a phenomenal creation fully credited to the ancient Maya people.

As for the cry that the Mayan calendar ending is no different than the culmination of any year in the Gregorian calendar, the uproar is correct. As with all time cycles, the proper way to view the Maya calendar system Long Count is that, yes indeed, a new time cycle begins on December 21, 2012. The question is does time stop if no one is there to watch it pass? An intelligent mind at such a posing would ponder the implications rather than spouting off that December 22^nd will be just another day.

Yes, time as measured on the calendar of the ancient Maya people will begin a new cycle in 2012 on the Winter Solstice. The part of the entire Mayan calendar scenario that the majority of people fail to grasp is simply and unarguably presented with the following age old quote: 

If a tree falls down in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? 

So if the day following the end of our current age, this awaited event of December 21, 2012, is just the beginning of a new cycle, does it matter if anyone is around to watch it unfold? To those who are concerned about what will happen in 2012, the end of the Maya people’s infamous calendar matters a great deal. To those who loudly debunk the entire idea simply because within their lifetime, time has never ceased to move or exists, whether or not a tree that falls in the forest makes a sound … is of little importance either.

We live in a time of drastic change, and refusal to accept that fact is a flag that ignorance exists. Change is a given that humans are wont to accept. In our current world, normal is swiftly becoming passé. All ancient cultures around the world are in agreement that the end of this age is coming soon. Some people’s teachings agree with the Maya people’s calendar that shows this current cycle of time will end on December 21, 2012 will be the end of, the end of a great era on Earth. Expecting everything to remain the same no matter how many warnings and red flags are raised is a sure sign that a large group of people are simply not paying attention.

These people who ignore the notice that the end of the Great Year of Earth is approaching will be ill prepared to deal with the changes already unfolding before their blinded eyes.  There are more things at play in the world today that require out avid attention beyond the Maya’s people Mayan calendar. As the Cherokee legends foretell, it is time to wake up before you get caught in a situation you could have avoided.

Time Untime is important to understand. It is 3 days at the end of the ancient Cherokee calendar of no heavenly movement, and perhaps a complete absence of heavenly bodies as a whole that lies between an old solar system cycle and the dawning of a new great age. Time Untime begins on December 18, 2012 and it ends on December 21, 2012.

It isn’t the Mayan calendar that is coming to a close, but the Maya calendar known as the Long Count that is approaching the end of the Great Cycle, commonly referred to as the Great Year in the Bible. Christian churches call the end of the great age ‘the end of time’, uncannily similar to the Cherokee term of ‘Time Untime’. No matter what you choice to label it, the near future will be nothing like today. Exactly what do you think happens at the end of a great age? Time Untime will be whatever you make it to be, just as the Maya elders of old and all other ancient cultures around the world readily concur.

Isn’t it time you learned what really might happen in 2012? It seems the only way you will know what you want to make it be for you. After all, have you ever dealt with Time Untime or the end of a Great Age before?

December 21, 2012 gets closer every day.
