fifth age

What’s with the blog title?

It’s fairly simple.  According to the Mayan creation story, our world has gone through a number of grand cycles (or ages) with each age ending in death and destruction followed by resurrection and rebirth. Based on the Mayan calendar we are now living at the end of the fourth age.

I,  among many others, believe that this age will not be our last.  I believe that the age, the fifth age, will be far greater than anything we could imagine.  Not the end of anything, but the beginning of a new adventure for humanity.

Unfortunately, the natural order demands that before there can be resurrection, there must be death.  So there will be troubled times in the next few years.  There will be economic, ecological, political, religious, and social turmoil.

Many will not survive. Many believers in the Mayan truths also believe that those who will survive will be those of us in humanity who recognize the trouble to come and prepare themselves to weather these ’storms’.  I will go a step further and posit that that those who will survive will be those of us who not only prepare for the end of this age,  but more importantly begin to live our lives today as though we are already citizens of the next.

We should see ourselves as foreigners in this materially focused, disconnected, and dying world.  I am a citizen of the fifth age.  If you have found your way to this site, you likely have a desire to be one as well.  So we will learn, grow, and awaken together.  Join me on the journey?

Have you ever run across something new in your life that completely changed everything?  Something that made you see yourself and the world in a completely new way?  Something that gave you a see perspective and a new hope?

Well, I recently found that and I can tell you that is the most amazing feeling I have ever experienced in my life.  I have encountered something that resonates so deeply with who I am that it is undeniable.  I already know that my life will never be the same?

What, you are certainly asking, could possibly do all of this?  What is it?
