Does the Mayan End-Time 2012 refer to our possibly entering the 5th dimension into eternity?

Question

The Myan End-Time refers to the release of a bursting, twisting, uncoiling serpent of light residing in the constellation Sagittarius, rising out of the Mouth of God, the buldge in core of the Milky Way, striking the earth on the Winter Solstice, Dec. 21st, 2012. The shifting of our 4th dimension space-time perceptions of reality, by capturing our conscienceness, literally. The Bibical "rapture" is the experience of expanding one's sense of self into reality: the 5th dimension. How does this strike you? Ever hear of this as it pertains to the Myans?

Answer 1

The "bulge in core of the Milky Way" is about 50,000 light years away. That means that whatever's coming had to leave a long, long time ago and, because of the way you describe it as a "serpent of light", already be visible. In fact, it would have been visible throughout our history.

The other responder had it right when he pointed out that the winter solstice is no more special than any other day. In fact, any position of the Earth in its orbit, and any position of the Sun in its path as it orbits the center of the galaxy, is only relevant if human beings say it is. From the viewpoint of anything else in the universe, what we consider relevant means nothing at all.

Also, the talk of 4th and 5th dimensions is not only beyond the ken of the Mayans - it's gibberish. We cannot enter a 5th dimension any more than we could enter a "length". One dimension does not make a place; it makes a direction. To transcend the existing 4 dimensions, we would have to enter ALL 5 or more, not one. In any case, if there is a 5th dimension to the universe, we are already in it, just as we are already in the 4 we know about.

What's going on here is that someone who wants to make a lot of money selling books and making movies has stretched the Biblical "rapture" and the Mayan legend to fit each other. In this way various media claiming the two mythologies are equivalent can be sold to a gullible population.

The Christians I know who believe in the "rapture" all attest that there is simply no way at all to know when that will happen. That rules out the Mayan prediction from their point of view.

You might want to learn something about the real Mayan calendar and the significance of the date 2012. It turns out they thought of it as a time of re-birth, not an "end-time".

Check this out and look at the section on "2012"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_calendar

Here's an excerpt:

"According to the Maya, there will be a baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of a 13th 400 year period, BUT NOT THE END OF THE WORLD."

Note that they describe 4 and 5 WORLDS, not dimensions, and say that we are ALREADY living in the 5th world. Thus even if you believe their myth, we will not "enter the 5th dimension" because we are already there.

Hmmmm. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

A few thoughts:

1. "striking the earth on the Winter Solstice, Dec. 21st, 2012" if something is going to strike us from space, there's no reason why the Winter Solstice should be preferred compared to any other day that year. So, if it's possible, that detracts from the credibility of the idea.

2. How were the Mayans supposed to have gotten this idea? *cough* spirits? Did the Mayans have some big telescopes I've never heard about?

3. I'm pretty sure the Mayans never showed any awareness of more than 3 dimmensions.

I errr, hope this helps.

The Mayas did no longer are anticipating something. it extremely is only the tip of the Mayan calendar! And on the tip of the Mayan calendar (December 21, 2012) there could be an incredible party. No apocalypse, basically a huge party.
