Did you know we are in the “Age of the Fifth Sun?”
A COLUMN By Frederick Sinclair
The Mayan civilization occupied much of the Americas for 3,000 years beginning around 1,800 BC. Their culture placed emphasis and was guided through time with the movement of stars, the timing of the solstices and event of equinoxes. The Mayan calendar identified overlapping shorter cycles based on meticulous observation of the heavens and a Long Cycle calendar emerged marking the passage of great ages. The Mayan calendar matches the ancient Hindu calendar start date and indicates the passage of 4 great Sun ages, with the end of the Fourth Sun set to occur at the winter solstice of the year 2012. It came and went without disaster and calmly began transition into the Age of the 5th Sun. Many espouse that there are no cycles in play, no predestinations – appointments or destinies to fulfill; forgetting that 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year, the four seasons, phases of the moon and myriad intersecting cycles hold cadence for all activities and life on earth. Beyond these everyday, obvious cycles, influencing our planet, there are those which several ancient civilizations observed involving the entire solar system in choreography of the planets, moons, comets and asteroids. But there is more to consider, in order to understand the forces at play and effects of movement within this cosmic clockwork.
The universe, or place, that contains all of creation, has previously been considered to be mostly empty ‘Space’, and calculated to be 99.8 % of the universe. Modern exploration, however, has discovered that it is composed of an infinite fluid field of plasma; energy flowing in currents, gravity channels, solar storms and exhibits intelligence. Consider that the intelligent /cyclic system, which guides the seasons on earth, also courses throughout all of creation.
From ancient Greek philosophers to the Mayan calendar, the Hindu Yugas to Sumerian stone tablet recordings , evidence of and mapping of these apparent cycles in time, and how they affect mankind throughout the ages has fascinated the philosophers,, astrologers, theologians, modern day astrophysicists, quantum mechanics, archeologists and historians. That’s right, historians. Over the past century, analysis of similar societal occurrences, over the past hundred thousand years, have in essence repeated themselves within a framework of cycles (ages) that are synchronous to the precession of the equinox and position of the earth and sun across the constellations. Precession is caused by a slow wobble of the Earths rotational axis tracing out a complete cone in space, approximately every 26,000 years. It is driven by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon. The poles shift along with migration of the North Star and Earths’ climate is affected by alteration of long term sunlight patterns. This completes a ‘Great Year’ or ‘Sun’ such as occurred on the winter solstice of 2012 and marking what the Mayan calendar identified as the end of the Fourth Sun. The Fifth Sun will rise up humanity to a new age of consciousness.
There have been many historic accountings of what has occurred within the ages, but all seem to indicate that patterns and themes repeat. The ancient Hebrews viewed cycles throughout time as seasons. Ecclesiastes 3:1. “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” The Bible references progression through the Iron, Bronze, Silver and Golden Ages. In David 2:31-45 he interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s dream; “This images head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his eyes of brass, His legs of iron , his feet part of iron and part of clay.” The image was that of the Great Year descending within its’ ages from Gold to Iron, with the promise of cycling back to gold.
Humanity, the Earth and our Sun are entering the Age of Aquarius. The cycle is into the Fifth Sun and although there is turbulence in the transition, mankind will once again don the crown of creation.
