A pool of Mayan Calendar Experts
Posted By monica on September 20, 2010
I receive inquiries almost daily regarding the Mayan Calendar as if I were a Mayan Calendar expert. Well – I am not, I am a novel writer. However, there are some very good Mayan Calendar experts that exist. By doing a search on Amazon for Mayan Calendar, you can find a number of experts. Read the reviews and make your own choice. I do not know all of them but I have read a few books that I found to be very good. One Mayan Calendar expert that I know personally is John C. Calleman. My fictional novel, Fallacy 2012, is based on his interpretation and Mayan Calendar expertise. His research of the Mayan Calendar and its impact on the evolution of life are fantastic. Another source of interesting information and articles can be found at www.mayan-portal.net.
Below is an excerpt of a blog that I really liked a lot. Birgitte Rasine, the producer of the well-known Mayan Calendar Portal, is another writer on the Mayan Calendar who I respect highly. These are all wonderful people! If you are looking for information on the Mayan Calendar, visit the website above.
December twenty-first, two thousand twelve. This innocuous-looking date has spun frantic circles around the Western world, sparking an international firestorm of assumption, expectation, hype, and in some cases, fear, hysteria, and panic.
The Mayan Calendar says the world is going to end, the blogosphere moans. Is 12/21/2012 the call number of doomsday? intones the media. Sign up here for your survival lottery, beckons Sony Pictures’ latest self-serving marketing machine.
Oh yes there is money to be made. Gobs of it. And Hollywood is first in line, with Roland Emmerich’s aptly-named 2012, scheduled for release on November 13, 2009 in the U.S. The website of the “Institute for Human Continuity” has, until recently, avoided disclosing that it’s a cold-hearted marketing tactic for the movie, designed with the careful engineering of a spider spinning its sweet sticky web for anything that ventures near; it’s already managed to scare more than a few expectant movie goers out of their socks. And then there are all the survival stores, online and off, books, DVDs, workshops, seminars, retreats and maybe a few sweat lodges. Today, October 30, Google returned 194 million hits for 2012.
Meanwhile, the real Mayan Calendar Experts, the living Maya shake their heads, wondering what all those Westerners are going on about. Why is the Long Count suddenly so critically important? Could it be that the Armageddon the world has been impatiently clamoring for all of these millennia, was simply delayed due to an archaeological technicality? And above all, just why do we have this persistent fascination with The End? Do we perhaps feel some sort of global guilt for having massacred each other and our fellow living beings for so many thousands of years?
Besides, if it’s all true, should the Maya elders not be traveling the world right now, speaking on Oprah and CNN and all the talk shows warning humanity of impending apocalypse? They’re tending to their local affairs, more concerned about the continuing changes in the climate and degradation of the environment and natural resources, than Day or Year Zero.
Indeed, if we keep our heads stuck in the sands of the future, we may not have a present to live in. 2012 was not meant to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
But on and on the doomsday wheel spins, fueled by its own blind self-righteousness and sped up by fast-paced technological innovation in communications tools. Over the past few decades, the global media and marketing machine has been very finely tuned to play the rich range of human emotions to its own agenda and motives—ultimately to line the bank accounts of the top media corporations. It works because nearly 4 billion people today are literate, and many if not most of those have access to some form of communication, be it television, be it radio, be it the Internet. Centuries ago, it took months for a letter to travel a few hundred miles, and even then there was no guarantee of delivery.
The speed of and level of access to information today is extraordinary—and wonderful. The problem is that the intentions and motives of some of those who produce all that content and communication are not all that pure. And so the river that’s burst out of its medieval dam, this flood of 60x24x7 words images and sound, this great big sea that swells with brilliant research, lively debate, unexpected discoveries, friendly exchanges and all kinds of communication, art, music and culture, is also polluted with deception, manipulation, suggestion, misinformation, misinterpretation and plain old ignorance.
These are the hidden snares you need to watch out for as you explore the online ecosystem, especially with future-dated events that no one can prove until the day of.
But there’s another problem: the entire 2012 debate is way off-track when it comes to the Mayan Calendar. So much about Mayan Calendar Expertise for today, there will be more.
