Well, there certainly is an awful lot going on just now,
isn't there? Paradigms and belief
systems are being crushed beneath the weight of the indifferent corruption
which they spawned, as a gnarly case of reality cramps sets in among the
masses across the planet. The planning
of future wars while still mired down in the ones of our own making appeals to
fewer people by the day, and thus the awakening surges like a tsunami
across a planet in the throes of transformation, between Scylla and
Charybdis, as it were. Eroded by
built in corruption, the mighty capitalist empire falls in upon itself now as
the law of unforeseen consequences plays merry hob with the gatekeepers
ability to keep it all together. Humpty
Dumpty.
Simultaneously with those preparing for Armageddon & a side order of apocalypse; there are
those who are preparing for something altogether different, something
transcendent they have been waiting their entire lives for, which is now at
hand as we at last pass out of the Kali Yuga and into the gates of
Aquarius. How very interesting and convenient
it is to have all of this happening just as the renowned Mayan calendar ends
one Baktun and begins another. It
rather makes sense.
Where we are today reminds me a whole lot of the fall of the
Mayan empire, as they too fell to the combined foes of conspicuous over consumption
of finite resources, war, drought, disease, and overpopulation. Yes, the Maya
were masters of time, and certainly architecture, as what they built and
maintained for 2000 years was more advanced than the Babylonians or even the
Egyptians. Still more impressive is that
they did all of it without the benefit of metal tools, the wheel or even pack
animals. Like us, they were also an
aggressive and bloodthirsty lot given to wholesale human sacrifice, which included
children painted with Maya Blue pigment and sacrificed to the water god
by being thrown into the Cenote, a natural forming limestone sinkhole
holding ground water.
That they also used the same source for drinking water was
no doubt a contributing influence to their eventual downfall...which brings me
to my question for today...
Where Did the Maya
Go ?
In the modern day state of Chiapas ,
Mexico Palenque Temple
of Inscriptions Palenque ,
as well as the empire and in the fullness of time, was deified. As was the general custom of Mayan rulers, it
was a very big thing to be able to trace one's linage directly back to the
ancestors from which they sprang forth...the sky people...so it's no
great surprise they said that King Pakal communicated with the ancestors.
Something I have wondered all my life is how can science
ignore the fact that a great many indigenous people, including the Maya, have
origin myths which include sky people coming from the heavens
to teach them - and in every single ancient culture there is a promise by the
gods, to one day return! Clearly the
Maya cosmology included the existence of portals to other worlds or dimensions,
many in the form of the T shaped Tau Cross carved into solid walls, and
other times as windows themselves. This
same exact thing has been discovered in Egyptian, Hopi, and Anasazi
sites as well. Essentially, the Tau
cross represents the sacred tree at the center of creation. Consider also that the Maya deity Kukulkan,
the feathered serpent, is nearly identical to other flying feathered serpents
found in other sacred belief structures around the world; such as the Nagas
in the Mahabharata from ancient India . Hmmm, perhaps something else that science is
reluctant to discuss, or investigate.
Considering the Mayan creation story; is it so unreasonable to conclude
as some do, that in the end, they returned from where they originated ~ the
sky? Perhaps Erich Von Daniken
was right about the depiction carved into King Pakal's sarcophagus lid being
that of the king himself at the controls of a flying craft of some sort.
In February of 2000 a
group of archaeologists examine an unidentified site in Georgia 's
Chattahoochee national forest. It is a massive configuration of 300 stone
mounds. The site is carbon dated to 1000 AD, and becomes known as the Track
Rock Ruins. Soon, controversial
evidence surfaces linking the site to Maya prophecy. According to Creek Indian expert Richard
Thornton: "Regarding the Mayans migrating into Georgia Georgia ,
becoming the Creek Indians. Thornton
notes similarities in language, architecture, use of water, terracing
hillsides, art, iconography, and temple alignment; to substantiate
his findings.
Earlier this year the History channel aired the pilot
episode of "America Unearthed" featuring Scott Wolter,
forensic geologist & president of
American Petroglyph Services. The episode, [complete video below]
examines the entire Maya-Georgia connection.
Among the artifacts discovered at the track rock ruins are spiral
mounds, which are Identical to spiral mounds found in Ocmulgee
Georgia and Xochitecal Mexico.
The Creek Indians once used these mounds for their sacred ceremonial Snake
dance. Hmmm, only slightly
reminiscent of a feathered serpent god being honored in dance. Along with nearly identical iconography as
the Maya, the Creek Indians had very similar sacred beliefs & practices as well...just one more link,
strengthening the connection.
Not far away from the Track Rock ruins is an ancient
artifact known as the Forsyth Petroglyph which essentially is a great
stone boulder about nine feet long by three feet wide, in the shape of some
cosmic potato. What makes it so interesting
are the 17 symbols carved into it's surface which seem to indicate a possible
ancient event.
The thing is, that nobody knows what the symbols
refer to because nobody can read them, and even the oldest Indian
inhabitants of the area do not remember - Nobody knows what the message
on the stone means...it is very ancient.
Some folks believe it makes reference to some cosmic event
such as a supernova , while others think it may be a star map of some kind that
we are too young to decipher as of yet.
The speculation goes on and on, but nobody knows! I find that really interesting. Here we are so smug in our technology and
full of our own cosmic significance, yet nobody knows what those 17
symbols on that rock mean.
When the Spanish discovered Lake Okeechobee
in the 16th century; they found three
different indigenous tribes living around it: the Mayaimi, the Mayaka,
& the Mayayuaca. Even more evidence to verify that the Mayan
migration to Georgia
& Florida took place as
indicated. At this point, the only
people refuting this are the same ones responsible for the existence of
something called Forbidden Archeology; those wishing to promote only a
version of history which benefits or acknowledges them, regardless of
the truth. Don't we now have to at least
wonder why the word Maya is prominent in each of the Lake
Okeechobee tribes...and wonder as well just how the city of Miami
So, where did the Maya go?
The very first thing we must ask in looking at Maya spiritual beliefs is
on what basis did they feel these beliefs.
Were they like us, accepting things on the say-so of the
priesthood? Or, was their spirituality
more experientially based? It is said
that Kukulkan came from the sky to teach the people. The ancient legends say that at a prescribed
moment in time, Kukulkan took eight young boys aside from the tribe: and taught
them math, astronomy, engineering and many other things. These eight boys then became the first
priests, who in turn would pass the knowledge on to the people, and guide
them.
From 250 to 900 AD the Maya were the most advanced
astronomers on the planet. They had
calculated the orbit of Venus to within 6 hours!! Since they were
not around for the 6000 years needed to plot this planetary
orbit...How did they come by the information? It had to come from somewhere...I
mean the Maya priests didn't just pull it out of their...feathered
headdress...where did the knowledge come from?
A very good question if I say so myself!
Perhaps King Pakal led a Mayan migration to other
destinations in the galaxy; just as the Itza Maya migrated to Florida
& Georgia . To be sure, a great number of the Maya simply
fled the warfare & chaos of a dying
empire - to eventually be absorbed into other tribes and other cultures; which
is no doubt why still today the Maya bloodline exists; in fact, my upstairs
neighbor's wife has Maya blood in her veins.
Not ALL of them left, many are still among us now.
But what of the rest, just where did the Maya
go? You can take your best guess at that if you want, but as
for me; I am more interested in where WE will go, now that we're
living thru our own equivalent of the death of an empire. Where will we go when our moment in time is
over, and all we've ever known ends, now that there are no more vacant lands to
migrate to?
Have you thought at all
about that?
