Of course, they do not believe the world will end, merely the calendar and the consciousness it embodied. A Mayan elder actually confirmed this to me (although she cautioned that the usurpers of Mayan spiritual practices were crackpots and charlatans who ruined her culture). She had a vision -- given to her by the spirit guardian of Lake Atitlan -- of a piercing shaft of light that would cause humans to rethink our aggressive/consumptive ways. I confess I find this all quite fascinating.Nachtigallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745511066499466719noreply@blogger.com
