Again … and again … mankind has been threatened by Mother Nature …
These days one would wake up wondering … “where she attacked today”
And it seems to me … that she has taken a decision against us … the unruly … ungrateful children of hers … she obviously has decided that …
“All good things must come to an end …”
and she goes again … its payback time … it s the turn of Japanese …
God … have mercy …
So long ago lived the Mayans …
Like everything else they predicted (their calculations rather extraordinary they say … & proven correct) … will the existing world would end soon?
Is this s the beginning of the end?
According to Mayans:
After over 5,126 years, the Mayan long count calendar is coming to an end. They had two yearly calendars: the solar and the religious. They also had a 52-year span called a calendar round
The solar calendar lasted 365 days and was comprised of 18 20-day months with an additional 5 days at the end. This calendar was known as the Haab and was based on astrology.
The religious calendar was 260 days long and consisted on 20 13-day months. This calendar was known as the Tzolk’in. The Mayans believed that every day was a new god whose behavior could be predicted by using the two yearly calendars.
These two calendars went together like meshed gears so that every day could be found using either calendar. The days did not repeat for 52 years. The first day of the first Haab (solar) calendar was the first day of the first Tzolk’in (religious) calendar; however, the first day of the second Haab calendar (the 366th day) was the 106th day of the second Tzolk’in calendar, because the Tzolk’in calendar had started year two on only the 261st day of the Haab calendar (our September). Every 52 years this cycle would repeat and that 52-year span was referred to as the calendar round.
The long count calendar is entirely different. The premise of the long count is simply to add a number after every day of an age until you get to the last day. In their counting system, the last day would look like this: 13,0,0,0,0. They add another number for every day and this goes on for over 5000 years!
Imagine getting up in the morning and saying, “It’s day 153,783 and the weather is great!”
Now, after all these individual days being counted one-by-one, we are reaching the final day of the Mayan long count. Now that you understand the intricate counting system of the Mayan calendars, you can further appreciate the final countdown to the end of an age.
Ok now this … is a bit too complicated for me
still … I wonder … is this an inevitable
or something we could have prevented
Whatever the ancient have said … I believe we are mostly to be blamed …
Here s what seems to me … what Mother Nature trying to tel us:
Human: “oh Mother Nature … how can you be so cruel …
what’s going on? … what are you doing to us ?”
Mother Nature: “well my ungrateful children …
it s going to be back to basics for you …
If you can recall … here’s what you have done so far to me”
“I lost my precious trees …
and my lands started slip in to rivers … so I sent
what you’d call floods …”
“The lands without trees … stopped fighting with the sun … dried up … got cracked … no shades … the sun played havoc … he sent his beam down harshly … everything started to boil down … created heat waves … outside … and even the inner elements started heating up … bursting power … so irruptions everywhere … you d call them earthquakes …”
“Not only you destroyed what was precious to me … you went and sabotaged the entire natural process on earth … my beautiful self … is disfigured by pollution … “
“So there will be … melting ice, rising sea levels … and causing earthquakes and sending tsunami or whatever you call them … “
” these will allow me to start a fresh …”
“after wiping out you all … the ungrateful … stinking creatures … there will be new life … “
“all will start from the beginning … so I’m on – back to basics – business now … hold tight … and pray for mercy …“
So … people …
it’s time to pray …
The Sacred Seven Prayers
O Great Spirit, who art before all else and who dwells in every object, in every person and in every place, we cry unto Thee. We summon Thee from the far places into our present awareness.
O Great Spirit of the North, who gives wings to the waters of the air and rolls the thick snowstorm before Thee, Who covers the Earth with a sparkling crystal carpet above whose deep tranquility every sound is beautiful. Temper us with strength to withstand the biting blizzards, yet make us thankful for the beauty which follows and lies deep over the warm Earth in its wake.
O Great Spirit of the East, the land of the rising Sun, Who holds in Your right hand the years of our lives and in Your left the opportunities of each day. Brace us that we may not neglect our gifts nor lose in laziness the hopes of each day and the hopes of each year.
O Great Spirit of the South, whose warm breath of compassion melts the ice that gathers round our hearts, whose fragrance speaks of distant springs and summer days, dissolve our fears, melt our hatreds, kindle our love into flames of true and living realities. Teach us that he who is truly strong is also kind, he who is wise tempers justice with mercy, he who is truly brave matches courage with compassion.
O Great Spirit of the West, the land of the setting Sun, with Your soaring mountains and free, wide rolling prairies, bless us with knowledge of the peace which follows purity of striving and the freedom which follows like a flowing robe in the winds of a well-disciplined life. Teach us that the end is better than the beginning and that the setting sun glorifies not in vain.
O Great Spirit of the heavens, in the day’s infinite blue and amid the countless stars of the night season, remind us that you are vast, that you are beautiful and majestic beyond all of our knowing or telling, but also that you are no further from us than the tilting upwards of our heads and the raising of our eyes.
Pray daily … it could be you and me … next !!!
