Mayan Calendar may End, but not World

(Edgar Cayce TV) What did the Cayce readings say about 2012? Executive Director and CEO of Cayce's A.R.E., Kevin Todeschi, explains.

SPRING EQUINOX 2011: On 3/20 at 4:20 pm Sunday afternoon, spring will dawn. It also marks Nowruz, the ancient "Persian" New Year celebrated in Afghanistan and Iran -- and was likely celebrated by the Buddha's extended family in Central Asia, near Bamiyan (in the vicinity of ancient Kapilavastu, greater India). Will it be the penultimate celebration of renewal for the Earth?

One Mayan calendar of many tracks epochs.

The Maya (Mayans, Aztecs, Olmecs, a sequence of many imperial civilizations in ancient Mesoamerica) were overrun by nagas (reptilians, feathered dragons, serpents). They were told to await the second coming of Quetzalcoatl, the winged serpent (reptilian ET capable of space flight). The same situation was mirrored on the other side of the planet, in the once magnificent Khmer empire (now Cambodia, with its center at Angkor Wat) that once expanded to include most of Southeast Asia, before it fell and was overgrown by lush jungle.

Both had strong Buddhist influences before degenerating into a deal with the reptilian "gods." Genetic manipulation, obsession with blood, DNA, asparvas (celestial maidens apparently breeding with humans). The Cambodian connection is clear, although it is a mix of Hindu and Buddhist influence, with a shared cosmology representedby temples carefully built in the shape of intricate mandalas.

The Mesoamerican (now Mexican) connection to Buddhism is harder to see. But it was elegantly revealed in Chinese written records and analyses of art, architecture, and place names in How the Swans Came to the Lake: A Narrative History of Buddhism in America (Rick Fields, Shambhala Publications, 3rd revised edition).

• The New World Order does not refer to the supremacy of some nations over others. It is about a new focus for the world as a whole: truly understanding that each and every one of us is our brother's/sister's keeper. We are responsible for every single nation and individual less fortunate than ourselves. The Edgar Cayce readings describe that responsibility like this: "Make of thine OWN heart an understanding that thou must answer for thine own brother, for thine own neighbor! And who is thine neighbor? He that lives next door or he that lives on the other side of the world? He, rather, that is in NEED of understanding! He who has faltered; he who has fallen even by the way. HE is thine neighbor, and thou must answer for him!" (Reading #3976-8). From Cayce's perspective, the next Age [consolidating in 2012 but not by any dramatic event] will eventually embody an understanding of this focus.
