2012 is coming
I watched the most fascinating show on the history channel today, on the Mayan Doomsday Prophecies for Dec 21, 2012. More info can be found here.
The actual show I saw can be watched online here if this subject interests you at all. The Mayans were interesting people, they were highly developed in ways no one can explain or justify... especially in regards to math, astronomy and time.
I LOVE ancient knowledge, the symbols, the art, the mythology.... when I was living in New Mexico I became consumed with petroglyph rock art and the meanings behind them. One day I spent the whole day wandering the cliff dwellings near Silver City, as the sun went down the way the desert winds swept the cliffs, they created a moaning sound that sounded like a 1000 voices whispering....it was eerie to listen to it, and yet comforting in somehow. It was almost abstractly spiritual in a way, I found it makes you feel connected to ancient voices and you become acutely aware of the lives that have passed through a place before you.... in a way you can almost see them and you can certainly feel them if you close your eyes and open yourself to the presence of their energy.
Even as a child I felt connected to the energy in the California missions when we visited them. I felt connected to the people who use to live there in weird ways I cannot explain. I think I would have loved living back then.
BTW, the site above that has the Mayan Prophecies Movie up has some other fun videos to watch if you need something to do: http://www.moviesfoundonline.com
For reasons I cannot explain, I enjoyed watching American Dictators, even if you believe Alex Jones is a total lunatic, some of what he puts out there might have at least a small shred of truth in it somewhere.... sorta like Michael Moore's "documentaries".
