According to traditional doctrines, the earth experiences periods of increasing spiritual darkness and periods of increasing spiritual light. The two doorways into these different phases are called the "solstice gateways." The two solstices of the year are like noon and midnight.

The doctrine of the World Ages is found in many traditions, including cosmologies found in the ancient Vedic and Mayan civilizations. In the yuga doctrine of ancient India, humanity experienced a Golden Age of light over 12,000 years ago. But the spiritual light began to fade and humanity moved through successive World Ages, each one darker than the last.

Today, we are now at the end of Kali Yuga, the darkest age. We are at the end of galactic night... (our present time is the moment
before dawn). this also coincides with the geological record of ice
ages/pole shifts every 12,000 years. thus, many might argue that the
year 2012 indicates a transition point from the Age of Pisces (which
we've been in for over 2,000 years) to the Age of Aquarius.


As we pass through transition there is a colossal, global convergence of environmental destruction, social chaos, war and ongoing Earth changes. All this, Mr. Barrios says, was foreseen via the simple, spiral mathematics of the Mayan calendars.

"It will change," Mr. Barrios observes. "Everything will change." He said Mayan Daykeepers view the Dec. 21, 2012 date as a rebirth, the start of the World of the Fifth Sun. It will be the start of a new era resulting from--and signified by--the solar meridian crossing the galactic equator and the earth aligning itself with the center of the galaxy.

At sunrise on December 21, 2012--for the first time in 26,000 years--the Sun rises to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic. This cosmic cross is considered to be an embodiment of the Sacred Tree, The Tree of Life--a tree remembered in all the world's spiritual traditions. Some observers say this alignment with the heart of the galaxy in 2012 will open a channel for cosmic energy to flow through the earth, cleansing it and all that dwells upon it, raising all to a higher level of vibration. This process has already begun, Mr. Barrios suggested. "Change is accelerating now, and it will continue to accelerate."
