What Is Really Going To Happen On December 21st 2012 From John Major Jenkins

Interview with John Major Jenkins on Maya Cosmogenesis 2012

To those that believe the Mayan made any predictions pertaining to 2012, in or on which temples or structures, on which calendar stones or in which of the codices, did the Mayan make any such prophecy’s relating to 2012?

JMJ: The text of Tortuguero Monument 6 isn’t exactly a “prophecy”, although some scholars use that term. It’s more of an appointment. In my reading of the text, it is the date that Lord Jaguar expected to be invoked by his descendants, so that he could be supernaturally present for the ceremonial rite with the deity named Bolon Yokte. This rite, I believe, was a sacrifice ritual. In Maya thought, deity sacrifice is necessary for world-renewal. This idea-complex echoes the spiritual teachings in the Maya Creation Myth, first portrayed on the carved monuments of Izapa. It is there that we might read a “prophecy” for 2012. But, again, prophecy can be a misleading term. It’s not the crystal gazing of a Maya Nostradamus, predicting specific things on specific dates. It’s certainly not at all a 2012 doomsday prophecy, as our media doomsday pimps would have it. And it’s not the descent of an ancient alien god, as the current ancient alien fetish would claim.

Instead, the Creation Myth conveys spiritual teachings, applicable to period endings such as 2012. It is an understanding of the cycle dynamics that all processes undergo, and therefore it has some insight into general dynamics expected to be at play as 2012 approaches. The “prophecy” thus paints a picture, that Seven Macaw will be ruling and ruining the planet. Seven Macaw is the archetype of greed and megalomaniacal egoism. Generally, then, we see this to be true to an alarming extent on planet earth, right now. So, yes, the Maya “prophecy” has come to pass.

But the second part of the teaching myth must also be considered. That is the choice, yes or no, about Seven Macaw being “sacrificed.” But as a teaching myth, there is free will choice in this and it is best understood as a metaphor, not a literal decree. The Hero Twins demonstrate how to sacrifice vain egoism, thus opening the way for the rebirth of their father, One Hunahpu. This indicates the transformation and rebirth, the world-renewal, that is ultimately the goal of the Maya “prophecy” for 2012. But it requires, for its fulfillment, human activation of and participation in the process.
