The Significance of December 21, 2012

(Transferred from the blog Spirit Facet)

Tomorrow morning is the Winter Solstice.  According to John Major Jenkins, in his thesis book Maya Cosmogenesis, the sun will rise in line with the center of the Milky Way as viewed from Earth. This happens once every 25,625 years. That is what the longest cycle of the Mayan calendar is based on.

Don Miguel Ruiz has written many books reflecting what he has learned from Toltec/Mayan shamanic wisdom.  He illuminates their belief that everything in the universe is living and contains an intelligence.  This includes the planets and stars.  The Sun communicates with the Earth. 
We are currently in the end of a 17 year cycle of abundant activity of solar flares.   It is expected by scientists that the Sun will enter a 'cold' period, when very little solar flares are sent out.  If we look at this from the Toltec view, a solar flare could be a method of communication.  If flares are not going out, perhaps the Sun is in a time of listening. 

In the center of our Milky Way is a supermassive black hole.  As previously stated, our Sun will line up with our Earth and the center of the Milky Way, along with this black hole, on the day of December 21, 2012.  Considering this alignment, the Toltecs may view this as a moment of Universe Consciousness reception.  New energies are being received and to be sent out in the coming years.

Mayan mythology likened the dark line of the center of the Milky Way as a serpent of birth.  This event was calculated by their brilliant astronomers, and was important because the Sun will travel through to a new birth.

When the solstice sun rises over the ancient Mayan temple of Chichen Itza, a shadow of a serpent will rise up along the sides to the top. Most of the remaining ancient structures were originally designed to honor the solstice. A ray of light will make its rare entrance into the mound of Newgrange in Ireland. An ancient spiral cut into stone in Coloradowill be visually split by the light of the sun. Henges, like Stonehenge, have a marker stone to cast an exalted shadow, or guide a the sun's light to an open space.  The purpose of the structures of Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, will have its day of fulfillment.  The solstice sunrise has been important to the people of this planet for millennia. Tomorrow's syncing with our Milky Way is very rare. Take a moment to acknowledge this important astronomical event in your own way.

Welcome to the birth of the Sun.
