Message from the Mayan Elders
February 2006
by Carlos Barrios
A lot has been said about this time, about the prophecies given by
ancient wise visionary men. Some of the prophecies have been kept on
secret books, some have been transmitted in a verbal way, others have
risen in a series of books, documentaries, articles in magazines,
newspapers and especially on the Internet. Some are extremely alarming,
others have no basis and many are based on the Prophecies of the Great
Traditions. All of them point out the prophetical times, as the Wise Chi
Mam Maya, Don Pascual liked to call them.
All this information has wakened the interest of millions of people,
but it has also created a lot of confusion and fear, since the date of
December 21 of 2012 has been used as the date of the end of the World.
However, this date points out the beginning of a new cycle, which is
marked in the tradition of the Mayan Elders as a time of harmony and
spiritual growing, this cycle is called the FIFTH SUN and each of the
previous ones lasted 5,200 years.
The first cycle was of a feminine energy and fire was the element that
ruled it.
The second cycle was of a masculine energy and earth was the element
that ruled it.
The third cycle was of a feminine energy and air was the element that
ruled it.
The fourth cycle was of a masculine energy and water was the element
that ruled it.
The fifth cycle is of harmony between the masculine and feminine energy
and the element that will rule it will be ether.
Each of these cycles last 5,200 years and they have been affected by
the polarity of the masculine or feminine energy and of course they have
also been affected by the elements. Today we are at the door of the end
of the fourth cycle, which ends on December 20th of 2012, six years from
now. During these six years we will be witnesses to the confrontation of
the Negative and Positive forces, the eternal fight amongst polarity,
the fight between the Eternal Fire and the Eternal Ice, as the Great
Masters have named it, rough and magical times, prophetic times, as the
Master, Don Pascual, would have said.
We do not have to close our eyes to be able to see who is dominating at
this time, unlike of the Beings of Light, on the other side there is no
doubt of who the boss is and no one argues about the grades of power,
they work with an effectiveness, so effective that some of them even
manage to appear as Warriors of Light.
The opposite happens with the Warriors of Light, because unfortunately
most of them are spellbound with their Ego, convinced that they are the
best and the carriers of the Truth, but they are only interested on
their fight for power, fame and their excessive fondness for economical
wealth.
Someone has to raise the Torch of Light and create consciousness; these
leaders have to come back to their path. They have to find their path
once again and assume the responsibility that was given to them at the
time they received their grade of guide and the magical power that
accompanies them, this is the calling of the Ancient Mayan Elders, of
which the doors to build up our destiny are open... The Wise Elders are
tired of waiting, they have sent this message previously and today,
knowing the delicacy of this year, the violence, insanity, the tiredness
of our Mother Earth, that regardless of the advise she has sent us
(hurricanes, floods, droughts, The Tsunami, etc.) we are still
impassive, destroying 10,000 acres of forest each day, letting 100,000
people, most of them children, die of starvation, and to us, this is
just another news which does not affect us directly. A year ago the
Tsunami stunned us, fear and panic grew, today this is just a vague
memory. However, we have to be blind not to see we have to give a stop
to this destruction, today we are alarmed with the cruel winter, with
the torrential rains that are coming out of season, we also witnessed a
tropical storm that was almost to become a hurricane, this without even
speaking of the earthquakes in all the continents.
This was already predicted by the Prophets and visionary Mayans, as
well as the attack to Iraq (with a precise date, two years before it
happened), and the Terrorist Attacks (the one of the Twin Towers, the
ones of France and Spain, and the ones to come).
The Mayan Elders are expecting that in the laps of the next two years
there will be a great explosion of magma in the Yellowstone Park, this
explosion would have the effect equivalent to the destruction that
several atomic bombs would cause, giving as a result a great matter of
contamination and pollution.
We are also expecting the imminent attack to Syria and the possibility
of an attack to Iran, as well as the trying of overthrowing and putting
a stop to the Socialist Democratic Movements that are rising in Latin
America, specially the one of President Chavez in Venezuela. The last
predictions, we can still put a stop to, but we have to use our powerful
weapons, the inner magic in each of us, our fire ceremonies, meditations
and any other techniques. It is URGENT to stop the madness of war.
The transcendence of the ending of this fourth cycle lies in the fact
that we are once again in the doors of building up our destiny, the
history of the actual humanity (the fourth).
The other humanities did not succeed with the purpose of taking our
Mother Earth to the age of gold, the age of nobility, love, equality,
peace, conscience, the Kingdom of Great Spirituality, in which every
being has its space and value and where we can all grow in a simple word
HARMONY, which is the premise of the Mayan World.
This marvelous opportunity is linked to Mother Earth, who as a living
entity, has once again the chance of acceding to the Fifth Sky, this
means to vibrate on a more subtle energy ruled by the element ETHER.
This opportunity was wasted by the three previous humanities and it took
Mother Earth millions of years to redo the proper conditions again.
The actual humanity, like the previous, has reached an extraordinary
technological development, but it has forgotten the spiritual balance
and the responsible relationship with Nature, which we are destroying
and polluting more and more each time.
This was predicted by the visionary and wise Mayan Aj'Kijab (shamans),
every event that is occurring, the plagues, earthquakes, floods,
hurricanes, thaws, weather changes, wars, uncontrollable viruses, the
contamination and damage we are causing Nature, our own Mother, however,
we remain passive as spectators, not doing or saying anything, we are
accomplices who rather follow the routine that is imposed to us, the
fake illusions that make us believe that we are people of success, of
that success that is only the vision of a consumer materialist society
and we sell our life in order to have this distractions and not confront
reality, since we do not have the courage to go into our inner selves
and get to know and accept us, the most important thing is to keep an
image and the sterile competence of an uncontrollable urge to run, that
rush to get nowhere...
We have the responsibility and possibility to change the destiny, we
have our weapons, and what is most important WE ARE MORE... And we are
not talking violence; our weapons are meditation, sacred ceremonies, the
thought of millions of people, the amazing power of mind, creating the
harmony of love, respect and spreading conscience. We can create
conscience in others, we can speak, write and demonstrate that it is
necessary to stop the destruction, the contamination, that we have to
stop being accomplices and that our voice should be heard, that we
should write to the media, to the people that run the governments, for
we should remember that they are public servants and not owners of the
countries, and if they receive millions of letters and e-mails, they
will have to give us their attention, but lets just remember that
violence is not the answer, do not look for the answer on the intellect
and the strength, the answer is in the power of your heart...
We think we own the earth... Will you own it 200 years form now? Elders
say the earth owns us, as a mother that nurtures us. Lets be consequent
to her, lets not let the shadows fall again on her...
