The 2012 concern—a look at the cosmic calendar

Introduction

There has been a great deal of converse about the presumed doomsday proposition of December 21, 2012 as it is echoed in the Mayan long calendar. Most of the ancient Mayan codices were burned by Spanish monks in 1521 as works of the devil. Acouple of survived encompassing the so called Dresden Codex. This 74-page codex written on tree bark and evidently from the well known Mayan temple and observatory at Chichen Itza was dispatched by Cortes to Emperor Charles V in 1519. It discovered its way to the Royal Library at the Court of Saxony in Dresden where it was bought from a private collector by Johann Christian Goetze. While it was damaged by the blaze bombing of Dresden during WWII, much has survived. From the Dresden Codex, which was in writing between 1200 and 1250 publicity, numerous astronomical and calendar data points were found encompassing data on eclipses, the transit of the planet Venus as well as data on the motion of the moon, stars and the sun. It has been very resolute by study scholars that the Mayan long count calendar finishes on 13.0.0.0.0 which equates to our date of December 21, 2012 at 10AM GMT (Ring, 2009). On that day it has been surmised the “end” will come. According to the Mayan calendar, we are now dwelling in the Mayan “end times.” The Great Cycle of the Mayan Long enumerate calendar ends at the winter solstice in 2012 A.D., just over four years from now (September 2008).

eschatological importance

For empirical researchers, astronomy is the centered key that connects these inquiries to hard research, and the metaphysical notions pertaining to these eschatological inquiries are, in detail, nearly associated to astronomy. Yet after empirical anxieties, the function of galactic alignments in religious transformation is disclosed as a centre notion discovered in all of the foremost very vintage customs - in both the Old World and the New World (McKenna, 2007).

eschatological concepts of world transformation that inescapably join an perception of such alignments are empirically valid. This undoes up an avenue of investigation that up to date thinkers who desire to incorporate research and essence should address. As a investigator of very vintage customs, I can issue to certain interpretations and reconstructions that are inferred or are even unavoidable granted the details - for demonstration, I can state with self-assurance that solstitial alignments to the galactic plane were important players in very vintage customs that addressed inquiries of eschatology, cosmology, human salvation, and the environment of time. For demonstration, a section in my new publication discovers Oliver Reiser's work that proposes the Galactic Centre is a foremost component in the evolution of life on Earth. My own route of breakthrough proposes the following: Beyond the insatiable quest for empirical personal clues lies the transcendent dispute of metaphysics, and our materialist paradigm could advantage substantially from a grave gaze at the deep insights of customary metaphysics ...
