2012 Essays and YouTube Video

Warning!! These essays have the potential to blow your mind! Proceed with caution.
This is it! This is why the Maya picked 2012!

The sun will be in the middle of the dark rift, the Maya birth canal, on the solstice.
The sacred tree will be high over the Maya at midday.
The key to 2012 is the astronomy that will unfold over the Maya
The key to the restart date of the Maya calendar is the astronomy that will unfold in the sky directly over the Maya. This is shown in the above screenshot. Here we see that the sun will be in the middle of the dark rift, the Maya birth canal, on the day of the winter solstice. In my essays, I go over why this day can be said to contain the triple rebirth of the sun, which is a marker for the rebirth of the great year, the 26,000 precessional cycle.
We also see that there are four planets forming the horizontal crossbar of the sacred tree and the sun is virtually exactly in the middle of these planets. This is also quite significant as to why the Maya picked this exact day to restart their calendar.
Please note:
1) If the Maya intentionally pinpointed the exact day of the winter solstice in 2012 from over 2,100 years ago, they would have needed to know the length of the year to within 45 seconds! (Learn more here)
2) Five cycles of their Long Count calendar add up to the length of the earth's precessional cycle to within one-half of one percent and the Maya often talk about all five cycles!
The poetic beauty is breathtaking; the actual astronomy is profoundly precise! If I have piqued your interest, please read on.
An introduction to all my 2012 essays
Since the Maya calendar and mythology are both based on the underlying astronomy, it can be very helpful to understand this astronomy. This is fun and easy to do as long as we take it a little bit at a time. It won't take us very long to lay out all the information yet you may find yourself pondering this subject more deeply for quite awhile. For me personally, the more I dug into this material, the more mind-blowing it all became. Perhaps you will have a similar experience. If you are also interested in mystical spirituality, then you may especially enjoy my 26-page essay: Mystical 2012.
These essays contain some of my own original research and I present the material in my own way with lots of my own pictures and diagrams so that it is easy for everyone to understand. This is not a rehash of what you might have read elsewhere yet of course, the content does agree with mainstream astronomy as reported by other. My material is often more detailed and more clearly presented.
Most of the essays are written in a way that does not require any background in either astronomy or the general subject of 2012. This means that you can read just one essay and ignore the rest. Yet each essay is tuned to a particular point of view or goal. This is explained in the summary below the link to each essay. Due to this approach, there is plenty of overlap between these essays. If another essay would be helpful to read before another essay, that will be noted at the beginning of the second essay and a link will be provided.
By the way, all of my writings and audio recordings are available for free without any requirements such as your e-mail address. Only items that are shipped to you, such as an audio CD, will require payment. And most importantly, those items will never contain any information that is not available for free from the website. In other words, there will never be any special information that is only available if you purchase something. I want all of my work to be easily available to everyone.

So without any further ado, here are the essays.
• Why the Maya Picked 2012
A 5-page essay with excellent pictures and diagrams
This is the fastest way to learn why the Maya picked 2012. You will learn mostly by looking at well-marked pictures made from a professional astronomy program and I wouldn't be surprised if you learn more in this essay than you have in the many hours of 2012 research you might have already done. You will learn about the sacred tree being in the sky over the Maya on this special day and you will learn about the annual galactic alignment between the earth, the sun and the galactic equator. You will also learn that in order to make a calendar that hits this day exactly, the Maya needed to know the length of the year to within 45 seconds! That's 99.9999 percent correct! In my opinion, this is not merely remarkable, this is absolutely stunning! This essay is a modified excerpt from Mystical 2012.
• What 2012 Means to Me
Awaken to your eternal awareness now! (2-pages)
Did the Maya make the calendar simply because they could even though it was difficult? Was it a way of boasting or did they want to give us something, perhaps an invaluable treasure? The calendar clearly points to the rhythms of nature. What could they possibly want us to think or do in response to pondering the cycles of the day, the year and the great year? Their metaphor involves lovemaking and birth. Do they want us to contemplate the question of life itself? Do they want us to contemplate who we are at the deepest level? Do they want us to ponder the process of creation and the source of our very being? This essay is an excerpt from Mystical 2012.
• The Maya Year Is Extremely Accurate!
This essay has the greatest potential to blow your mind. Proceed with caution.
The Maya year is 99.9999 percent correct or better! (4-pages)
While the math is very simple, when I carried out the calculations for the first time, the results were simply mind-blowing! I had to double and triple check my work. Don't worry about the math; you can understand this and it will be clear to you why this is one of the most important facts to graps with regards to 2012.
Although the essay is 4 pages, you can get the point by reading just the first few paragraphs. The rest of the material simply provides all the fine details.
• My 10-Minute You Tube Video: The Actual Astronomy of 2012
Watch a simple 3-D model of the actual astronomy of 2012 in action
Yes, you can understand the basic astronomy of 2012 in just 10 short minutes! Learn about the plane of the earth-sun orbit and the plane of the galaxy and how they come together to set the stage for 2012. Then see how the wobble of the earth's axis of rotation provides the motion that creates the special event of 2012.
• Mystical 2012: Ignite Your Passion for Life!
A 21-page essay about the actual astronomy of 2012, the Maya sacred triple rebirth
of the sun and their timeless inspiration to be fully alive in every moment
In Mystical 2012, I go over the actual astronomy of 2012, which the Maya saw as the sacred triple rebirth of the sun. This is presented in a casual and interesting way that everyone can understand.
Yet most people want to know what is going to happen to us. This is basically asking who are we as humans, what can we create, both as individuals and as a group. I answer this question by bringing forth my mystical view of who we really are and how the process of creation actually works.
Mystical 2012 will soon be available as a 2-hour audiobook and this essay is the transcript. You will be able to download it or hear all of it for free on my podcast or purchase a two-CD set, which will be shipped to you. There will be no difference in audio content or audio quality between the two formats; they will each contain the exact same material so you can choose whatever is best for you.
If you are interested in a more complete, scientific presentation of the actual astronomy of 2012, please see my essay, The Actual Astronomy of 2012 and the Sacred Triple Rebirth of the Sun.
• Extraterrestrials, Astronomy and 2012
Does the astronomical evidence prove an ET created the Maya calendar? (3-pages)
In this essay, I am not suggesting that extraterrestrials will openly arrive in 2012 but rather I am asking if they were involved in the creation of the calendar. Afterall, the required astronomical knowledge has a level of precision that seems to be well beyond what the Maya could have achieved with naked-eye astronomy. But, as we shall see, this does not necessarily mean that ETs were involved.
To get the most out of this essay, you should first read Why the Maya Picked 2012 and The Maya Year Is Extremely Accurate!
• The Actual Astronomy of 2012 in a Nutshell
10-pages
If you are only interested in the astronomy of 2012 but you don't want to spend too much time, I recommend this essay and my YouTube video, which is linked at the beginning of the essay.
This essay is simply a shorter version of The Actual Astronomy of 2012 and the Sacred Triple Rebirth of the Sun. It does not include any mystical spirituality nor does it discuss ETs.
• The Actual Astronomy of 2012 and the Sacred Triple Rebirth of the Sun
A 27-page essay with many helpful diagrams and a link to my 10-minute video
This thought-provoking essay has the most detail about the actual astronomy of 2012 and the sacred triple rebirth of the sun. For me personally, the discovery of this material was totally mind-blowing. For most people, this essay will take some effort to read and some time to sink in. Yet it will be very rewarding for people that really want to understand the actual astronomy in great detail.
I will soon have more to offer
I am working on more essays, some audiobooks and some additional podcast episodes. I hope you will join us for those! By the way, all my mystical spirituality essays are here.
Thanks for visiting and have a magical and mystical day!
