2012 & the Mayan Winter Solstice

The Mayans Speak
The movie 2012 did not mention the Mayan prophecy on which this date is based other than to show a group visiting the pyramids in Tikal committing suicide. The Mayans perform ceremonies at these sites to show gratitude and gain favor with the universe and their ancestors. I was part of this momentous occasion and would like to present to you, from their own mouths, the Mayan thoughts on the year, 2012.

A new paradigm is on the horizon; a paradigm focused on the sacred in life. The Mayans have always been conscious of the synchronistic realms. This is the reason for their many calendars. One date is held in the highest regard and it has been etched into the thoughts of the entire world; the Winter Solstice of 2012. The Mayans hold many prophecies. One is that a "Tribe of Nations" would gather for the Winter Solstice ceremony.

On December 21st 2007, the Kakulhaa Mayan Foundation performed a ceremony in Tikal Guatemala that has not been performed since the discovery of the Temple of the Jaguar; an all night Winter Solstice ceremony. The prophecy was clear, unite the people or suffer total catastrophe. I was one that was called. It was an arduous trip and one I have dreamed of all my life. Read More

Video Translation
00:02: Yes, the best form is "practice", because "theory" is different. "Theory" comes by the way of many books - there are some books that are confused...

00:12: There is a historian who says it this way... A historian of mythology, that is, of histories about... that is, very... appalling or grotesque things. That is, legends. He loved to write so many legends which were only imagination, and the books were good. They were sold (I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE SAYS HERE) by the millions. But the last line... there was a redacted line which says that he was the writer of the book, but he never had contact with the personages about whom he wrote.

00:55: Then that is something like I said to you "theory" is different from "practice". "Practice" is different from that when one has new contacts with the (DUNNO WHAT HE SAYS, I THINK "supernatural" ) or "the Grand".

01:09: One finds having a contact is a direct ritual, and then he can say: "Look, how is he? He's this, and this, and is like this."

01:18: But in the long run he said he never had contact (DUNNO WHAT HE SAYS, PASSING TRUCK OR ENGINE. THIS ONE IS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO TRANSLATE) ... and takes a long time to decipher though it's not different from night to morning, just living, eating, sleeping... and for certain people that will be a reality. Because for example the Mayans here - there are 22 ethnicities. That is the principal! But there is one that doesn't have more ethnic spin-offs.

01:49: Offscreen: "I understand. Each pueblo speaks a different language..."

01:51: Each pueblo speaks a different language.

01:53: Offscreen: "And your pueblo has three neighborhoods and each neighborhood speaks a different language."

01:57: Imagine that! And that is just one pueblo. But if we go to the departments, and if we go to the municipals, to the villages, to the farmhouses, to the farms... All that is very different. At that it cannot arrive.

02:15: Offscreen: "There are some things which you cannot share."
02:18: It cannot be shared. It cannot. For the most part it only is how to live in peace with the person who arrives to feel that is reality. There's no contrary case. They're "imaginings" or "inventions".

02:34: Offscreen: "Well, the people who imagine or invent these things and don't follow their own intuitions, they don't live their own (I THINK) dreams. They don't do what you say should be done. They say "You should do it this way" and they'll do the contrary. How do we trust them..."

02:54: It cannot be done.

02:56: Offscreen: "I know that happens a lot in life. They say 'ah you should live this way,' and they don't do it. Nobody does it."

03:03: That was the first error of religion. Religion came to place an order-

03:13: Offscreen: "A control."
03:15: A control.
03:16: Offscreen: "No liberation for nothing."
03:18: (I THINK HE SAYS) But that is an organization...
03:22: Offscreen: "That's the purpose of religion. It's to put the people-"
03:25: But the people always admire them, and the people say "We know this."
03:31: Offscreen: "Yes because they have beautiful dresses, big houses..."
03:34: That's what religion offers.
03:36: Offscreen: "There are many of the same insanity, don't you think?"
03:39: Offscreen: "Yes. They only follow the group."
03:41: The fame. The fame. The politics. Who think the majority is the best. But no, that is, the minority can have a lot more.

(I CAN'T MAKE OUT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING HERE)

04:03: That is why I tell you that, really, it's difficult to find Guatemala's true reality, because the majority of the data is not apt to say the mysteries about her which are to survive. (IT'S DIFFICULT TO MAKE OUT WHAT HE SAYS TOWARDS THE END)

(I'm taking a break! To be continued!)

04:21: Maybe there will also be released - some - ...(COULDN'T MAKE THIS OUT) certain mysteries are enclosed of which only the Grand Shaman will understand and will disseminate...

04:31: Offscreen: "Is there someone in the country who everyone can say is strong, and is a great man, and who everyone respects, or is that too--"

04:46: Here in Guatemala there's none. But everyone wants to be great and everyone wants to be strong and at the same time they're weak. That's one of the errors that happened. What happened was unfortunately this practice of the ceremonies were very carefully - they were held zealously - and were only realized by someone who had much energy.

05:10: But after the persecution - that is, there was a war - a civil war. That civil war, they couldn't see who needed to pay, they searched for someone who owed... For the most part the spiritual guides (OR "spiritual leaders") - if they found them performing their ceremonies - needed to get out well (OR "quickly").

05:33: And like yesterday, how you placed those --
05:40: Offscreen: "Crystals" (OR "glass"?)
05:40: Those crystals there. And also, before, the grandfathers carried their own "kawa-weles" (PHONETIC GUESS, DUNNO WHAT THIS IS). Here we call them "Kawawi Jars"!

05:53: Each person carried one to - we say - "enter into their energetic charge."
06:00: Offscreen: "To amplify it."
06:02: Exactly. But they (THE GOVERNMENT??) arrived to scare them and they left them and that's why a lot of them disappeared. Later they wouldn't have taken them away, because that had mentally assassinated them.
06:16: And then the secret started there, so that nobody said they were a shaman. No!
06:29: If they were sitting here - "I'm not a shaman!" ... "I can't be a shaman!"
06:36: But after a peace treaty was signed... Ah, everybody: "I am a shaman! I am a shaman! I am a shaman!" Regardless if they were or not!
06:48: Offscreen: "What percentage has a lineage?" (I THINK THAT'S THE QUESTION)
06:54: Well... the truth is this: there is no percentage, if everything born in the territory of Guatemala has their own proper lineage. Because the calendar (I CAN'T MAKE OUT WHAT HE SAYS HERE) has 20 deities. And the 20 deities enclose all humanity.
07:18: No more deities exist than that!
(I THINK HE BEGINS TO NAME THE 20 DEITIES HERE)
07:32: There's only 20. And in those 20, appear the grand lineages.
07:46: Let's understand that there is the hierarchy.
07:50: For example, the number 1 is a low hierarchy. The number 13 is a superior hierarchy.
08:02: Who is born with a hierarchy of "13" doesn't require for me to teach them because all this they bring with them mentally.
08:10: And who is born with a hierarchy of "1" needs to learn.
08:16: Offscreen: "They need a good teacher"
08:17: Exactly.
08:17: Offscreen: "They need '13'."
08:19: They need 13. Exactly.

08:22: And for others, this exists - for our ancestors this existed - who was born with a "2" or "3", that is because they have been reincarnated for the first or second time.
08:37: But who's born '13' has had 13 reincarnations.
08:45: Offscreen: "There's no more than 13 incarnations?"
08:47: There's no more than 13.
08:48: Offscreen: "Oh it's my last turn." (I THINK THIS IS THE JOKE)
08:52: What is happening is we don't understand it. There can be more than 13. The problem is multiplying 13 by 20.
09:01: Offscreen: "And the one that is a 13, for example, can he sense that he's a 13? Does he know that in his body? And his mind? And his soul? And everything?"
09:09: It's felt. It's felt. It's felt.
09:12: Offscreen: "And one who is a 5, let's say..."
09:14: It's also felt.
09:16: Offscreen: "It's felt."
09:17: It's felt.
09:18: Offscreen: "And the others can also sense them?"
09:19: All of them! Each one feels it.
09:22: Offscreen: "But for example someone who's a '1' can see a '13' and know it's a '13' without a word?
09:29: He can't.
09:30: Offscreen: "Because he's a '1'."
09:33: Now who has a '1' and who has a '13' - for example who has a '1'? (I THINK HE SAYS) He only is a little naughty. But who has '13'? Is 13 times naughtier!
09:49: It's there where the secrets are seen.

10:02: All that is... (I DUNNO WHAT HE SAYS)

(I DUNNO WHAT IS SAID. ENGLISH IS ALSO SPOKEN HERE)

10:30: Offscreen: "A friend bid me to ask you a question. He gave me a lot of obligation to want to ask you."
10:42: With pleasure! Give the order.
10:44: Offscreen: "What he wanted me to ask was 'what did you see in the fire'?"
10:48: Ah what I saw in the fire...
10:51: That is so important, but more importantly I could've told you there. Because after the ceremonies in which all of you participated, all of you also saw it.
11:02: Offscreen: "Yes. Each person saw something."
11:03: Exactly. Each person saw something with a message. Now, the toughest and saddest part is how to decipher those kinds of messages.
11:13: Well the truth is you had many, many messages. Why? Because the truth is it's a tough ceremony.
11:23: It's a ceremony that all of you may have never seen even if you traveled with other spiritual leaders.
11:30: That for the first time the plate of the grandfathers was filled (I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE SAYS HERE)
11:34: On how food filled the plate here.
11:38: Not all of us are able to fill a ceremonial plate like that.

(I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEING SAID HERE)

11:55: Offscreen: "It took me 11 days for me to feel better."

12:04: Offscreen: "And this time it was much stronger. It's time to introduce ourselves. It's your turn brother..."

(ENGLISH IS SPOKEN HERE, CONTINUES AT 13:28)

Minutes 13:28 - 20:51

13:28: Offscreen: "Then..."
13:34: Offscreen: "What were the messages to us which you received?"
13:39: Okay. The first important message we received was the sun was sad.
13:48: Because there could be many happenings which could occur here 20 years ahead.
14:01: The sun can last much longer, because it has more life, but we are the ones that do not have much more life.
14:13: That is one message.

(ENGLISH IS SPOKEN HERE)

15:02: The second message is hard for the Mayan community.
15:07: Because the majority of the Grandfathers (OR "Elders", REALLY) who received the message, and have informed us, felt sad, because the majority of the Guatemalan people who were originally Mayans do not think of us.

(ENGLISH IS SPOKEN HERE)

16:00: Another message was the Elders said they were lamentably sad because here in the territory of (HE'S SPECIFIC BUT I CAN'T MAKE OUT THE NAME) many leaders are acting like they're leaders, but that is not the way to work.

(ENGLISH IS SPOKEN HERE)

16:42: The other message was they felt excited, yet, they have not received (or ACCOMPLISHED) the majority of the work.

16:56: They also said that Guatemala is really backwards (OR behind), we're really behind, because really soon they will arrive at hard realizations, and we won't be able to defend ourselves against ignorance.

(ENGLISH)

17:49: The other message spoke about nature, of Mother Earth. The earth will support a great collapse, but survival is not possible. The human world has transgressed the limit. Much avarice. Much filth (I THINK). Much destruction. There are no forests. There are no trees. There is nothing to purify the life of human beings. Many vehicles, but after a long time, there's no space for the proper circulation of vehicles.

(ENGLISH)

18:49: The other message left this very clear, and I hope all you profoundly grasp this too, because you are within that. The Grand Sun, the Grandfather Sun, said, really, "There arrived certain messengers here in Guatemala. The only problem is they're not permitted to unfold, and do what they need to finish here."

(ENGLISH)

19:53: The other message arrived and also let us recognize, maybe, that everyone saw it or nobody did. A message from a strange (OR foreign) device not seen here in Guatemala, that right now is taking care of closing the holes in the O-Zone, which are opening more and more. But they confide in us that our smoke is capable of closing those O-Zone holes. But how are we going to do it? Because, really, there are many spiritual leaders but they burn very little, and it requires a lot more smoke (??) to close the holes in the O-Zone.

20:49: Offscreen: "The smoke of the ceremony..."
20:51: The smoke of the ceremony is able to close the O-Zone holes.
