Galactic Alignment. And No, Neither Mayans Nor Any Other Native People Believe In An Apocalypse.Submitted by ralph hornsby on Thu, 12/06/2012 - 17:52
This month will be the Galactic alignment. AND NO, Neither Mayans Nor any other Native people believe in an Apocalypse. Natives think in circles that don't have ends, not lines that end. Also Natives don't think of themselves as the center of God's creations, so even when Humans come to an end it does not mean life or the planet or the universe will end.
This year is used to calculate. It is a zero point for people that knew about relativity thousands of years before Einstein. Such a series of alignments is super rare and therefore allows calculations of the stars, to be referenced against calculations of the moon and calculations of the sun. This is something very important, when you calculate thousands of years into the future, is to be able to check your calculations against a zero point.
So smile at the sacredness of being able to see such a rare event, and please don't ask me anymore about misunderstood and misinterpreted Mayan time charts. Christians and Muslims and Jewish are the only people I know of that believe in apocalypse. The only Mayan Calendar that I know of is made of one wheel that spins inside of another larger wheel. Such a thing never ends. The Long Count is a countdown to the Galactic Alignment. It is not a Calendar, and it is used to insure that all calculations have a reference in space and time.
That is all.
No end times. No angels. No demons. No death by fire and brimstone. No bullshit. Just base 2 math, base 7 math, and people that watched the heavens every night for thousands of years with the thought of using this knowledge to map space and time accurately.
