I am a Metahistorian woman, I am not part of a cult or a movement, nor am I for that matter an intellectual. I am one of the many women that family and society tried to silence because the words that come out of my mouth are connected to my heart. All my life I have transformed suffering into precious manure to grow compassion for myself and other sentient beings.

Galactic Alignment - John Major Jenkins

Over 2,000 years ago the early Maya formulated a profound galactic cosmology. They saw that the sun, on the winter solstice, was slowly moving toward the heart of the galaxy. Naturally enough, with their uncorrupted intelligence intact, they suspected that the world would go through a transformation when the solar and the galactic planes aligned. They devised their Long Count calendar to target when the cosmic alignment would maximize, and that time is AD 2012. We are lucky that the brilliant skywatchers who devised the 2012 calendar left carved monuments for us to decode, and that they have survived the decay of centuries, so that we can know exactly what they prophesied and believed about 2012.
