Peace! Tau!
In a time of turmoil and destruction on the planet, many people think it is the end of the world. For years Europeans have clung to the Bible for interpretations of events in time, especially the future. They have also held a special place in their paranoia for the predications of Nostradamus. What they and others have failed to understand is the predicating the future is a matter of forecasting events based on the NOW. The events, and behaviors of beings on the planet that usher in these events and conditions, can be analyzed, assessed and understood through general sociological, psychological and anthropological frameworks. History is made based upon these predications, take for instance the actual price of oil and what determines it. It is then that history has been predicted by the 'wisest' amongst us. This is understood within the Nation of Gods and Earths- that 'now' is the past, present and future. Yet, in their search of religious and spiritual understanding and fervor, modern 'new agees' have pointed their fingers at the Mayan cosmology and the 2012 prophecy as the latest fix in figuring out the fate of humanity.
Unfortunately, because of this, many scholars, scientists and of course, politicians, have dismissed the Mayan prophecy as amongst the usual cultural folk-tales of the pre-Columbian world. When the reality is that the Popol Vuh and Mayan cosmology has some scientific basis for us to understand ourselves and the universe. The idea of a cyclical period of time coming to an end and ultimately renewing is not new and surely isn't limited to the Quiche Maya.
The Popol Vuh is a wonderful work on Indigenous literature. The Mayan credit the founding of there cosmology and culture with Votan. Votan is mentioned in the Popol Vuh and is sometmimes referred as "an old black God". Votan is said to have arrived from the East, across the Ocean wearing a robe, as well was his followers. He is known as a 'magician' of time, because of his understanding of mathematics and numbers, as a 'language' for understandingman's relationship to the cosmos and vice versa. He is said to have made the statement "All is number. Hunab K'u (God) is a number. Hunab k'u is in All." This is an interesting way to express the Maya's understanding that we are interconnected with each other and the universe. All of life is structured by the same basic, re-occurring mathematical patterns. Thus, the Mayan civilization and cosmology is based on their extensive understanding of mathematics and in particular the movement of celestial bodies which they base their calender on. They had two calenders which they used, the Long count and the Short count. The Short count was based on 260 days and the Long count calender on 360 days. It was through these calenders that the Mayan calculated time in accordance with the movement of the Sun, Moon and Earth. Votan supposed taught them about the science of time and "ages", cycles of time lasting 26,000 years. Sumerians, Tibetans, Egyptians, Cherokees, Hopi, and Mayans all refer to this same 26,000 year cycle in their cosmologies.
"Who wrote the Holy Qu'ran or Bible? How long ago? And will you tell us, why does Islam renew it's history every 25,000 years?"
The Holy Qu'ran or Bible is made by the Original man, who is Allah, the supreme being, blackman of Asia. The Holy Qu'ran will expire in the year 25,000, 9,080 years from the date of this writing. The Nation of Islam is all wise, right and exact. Planet Earth's, which is the home of Islam, circumference is approximately 25,000 miles, so the wise man of the East (the blackman) makes his history or Qu'ran equal to his home cricumference, 1 year to every mile. Thus everytime it lasts for 25,000 years, he renews it for another 25,000."
This above question and answer is the first degree in a set of lessons referred to as the 1-40, within the Nation of Gods and Earths. The lessons we study are sets of questions and answers between Fard Muhammad and his student Elijah Muahmmad. They are shared by the Nation of Islam and the Nation of Gods and Earths and for us, serve as a general body of information from whcih we extract a clearer understanding about life from. As one can see, Fard and Elijah were familiar with the plantery phenomena known as the 'procession of the equinoxes', which is the 'wobbling' of the Earth, making the Sun appear (except to the naked eye) as if it is making a revolution or full circle in space. It takes the Earth in actuality 25,800 to 26,000 years to complete one 'wobble'. This movement was very significant to our ancestors and their understanding of the Sun and Earth's relationship, as it pertained to their calender and events on the planet. Let us recall that the 'Sun and moon have attracting powers on our planet' (8th degree, 1-40) and affect not only the magnetic field around the planet but also the life existing within it. The electromagnetic relationship of the Sun with the Earth varied at different points of the year due to the position of each celestial body. The Sun and Moon both have attracting powers on the water on the Earth's surface and in vary mouch the same way, affect the water in our bodies. This is what supposed brings about the distinct characteristics of people born at different times of the year and the 'zodiac' figures that represent those times. The Mayan had there own 'zodiac' and it played such an important role in their daily lives. "A person's date of birth also had enormous significance: it determined the course of the rest of his or her life, including name and career.." states Adrian Gilbert and Maurice Cotterell in their book "The Mayan Prophecies."
Elijah Muhammad referred to this 25,000-26,000 year calender as the "Asiatic calender". The above mentioned degree was compiled in 1934. As we renew the history and further investigate the subject at hand, we find that Elijah, basing his understanding obviously on pre-existing conceptions of history and time, projected the end of this time period to be "9,080 years from that date of this writing", which would have at that time, being the Asiatic year 15,020. However, 9,080 years would only take history to the date of year 24,100. Providing the missing 900 years (thus making the calculation 9,980 years) would take us to the year 25,000 which would be the Gregorian year "11,914". This is a huge gap. And as I've said, through further investigation, studying, & learning we come to find out that the Original man- whether Votan himself or the Mayans (Natives) who supposedly travelled from the East, or the people Votan travelled away from, calculated the most accurate calender regarding the movement of the Sun and Earth. Let us be mindful that the Gregorian calender actually has daylight savings time and leap years to allow it to function because it is not aligned with the celestial bodies. Especially now, time as Western scientist's have determined is based on the number of vibrations of a Cesium atom (measured with an 'atomic clock').
So what does all this mean? It means that Elijah Muhammad was 'right' although not 'exact' because the Mayan astronomers (wise men) calculated this time of renewal as December 22, 2012 in the Gregorian calender. Likewise, it means that more credence must be lent to the Mayan prophecies and approached more seriously. It also means that the various religious books of the world hold 'some' truths as it regards man's recording of events and their relationship to the world as they knew it. Whether it be the Bible, Qu'ran, Popol Vuh or Rig Vedas. These books were authored by man, the Original man, and divinely inspired only so far as being a manifestation of man's divine intelligence. For the wisest amongst us have always been able to take a look at our history, to understanding the present, and tell of what 'could' come of the future. Remember, as we authored the book, through our awareness and activity, we have the power and ability to re-write it. This ultimately was Votan's message. As the ending of this age, means more so an end of the old world and way of thinking (which got us into the situation that exists on the planet) rather than the 'end of the world' as religious fanatics and pseudo-spiritualist believe. The Mayans refer to this as the end of the 'age of God' or, the 'end of religion' if we look further into it. And as Allah taught us within the Nation of Gods and Earths, we got to "kill all religion". For it is religion that has allowed the people to succumb to mental death and power and flung Nation against Nation in warfare. Now is the time for us to truly 'wisdom our equality' (26) and apply more balance to ourselves, the planet and ultimately the universe . 2+6= 8, which is Supreme Mathematics is "build and destroy", today's mathematics. So it is through the end of this age do we continue to build and add on for a better tommorrow or be destroyed by our own devilishment. GOD= G(7)+O(15)+D(4)= 26 and 2+6=8. So the Original man (black, brown(red) and yellow), who is Allah (GOD) or Hunab K'u, will ultimately determine the construction of a new world and the destruction of the old.
Peace!
A Plus degree: Making the lessons applicable to this day and time....
"Who wrote the Popol Vuh or 'The Community Book'? How long ago? And will you tell us, why does mathematics renew it's history every 26,000 years?"
The Popol Vuh or 'The Community Book' was made by the Original man named Votan, who is Allah (Hunab K'u), the supreme being, blackman of Asia. The Popol Vuh or 'The Community Book' will expire in the year 26,000, 4 years and 3 months from the date of this writing. The Nation of Gods and Earths is all wise, right and exact. Planet Earth's, which is the home of Islam, circumference is approximately 25,000 miles, so the wise man of the East (the blackman) makes his history or 'Popol Vuh' equal to his home circumference, 1 year to every mile. Thus everytime it lasts for 26,000 years, he adds on and renews it for another 26,000."
