The Aztecs arrived in the Valley of Mexico in the fourteenth century, where many other tribal groups lived. These tribes believed there were four Suns — or World Ages — that preceded our time. (The first was destroyed by jaguars, the second by wind, the third by fire, and the fourth by flooding.) The present age of the Fifth Sun, which corresponds to completion of one full zodiac cycle, is prophesied to end in 2012. And worth noting, the timing of these prophecies coincides with the start of the Mayan long count calendar’s birth of Venus’ (its exact meaning is uncertain). The Aztec discovery of Teotihuacan, which some accredit to be Toltec in origin, revealed the world’s third largest pyramid (The Pyramid of the Sun) where, as the story goes, two gods sacrificed themselves to bring light to the world after the destruction of the Fourth World and ushered in the present age of the Fifth Sun, subsequently concluding Plato’s Great Year.’ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Year This prophesied time is of great significance in many indigenous traditions as varying as the Hopi, Lakota, Mayan, and Shoshone and calls for all people of the world to assist in a don’t-look-back massive global transformation. Just before Mexico, we spent a week with the Arahuaco and Kogi — pre-Colombian tribes who believe that we, the “younger brother” are responsible for the great imbalances in the Colombian forests, and the world over. They’ve left their secluded lives to come and meet with us to share wisdom and teachings about how to care for earth so that we may stop — and even reverse — the damage of our ignorant ways. They believe that we are ready and capable of making great changes for our planet at this most critical time. youtube/watch?v=5S8jAeEqM2A&feature=youtube_gdata_player
