Leading Mayan Elders Visit U.N.

2010 October 23
Posted by Steve Beckow

Leading Mayan elders, including Don Alejandro Cirilo, visited the United Nations earlier this month and spoke about 2012. The UN’s own account of the event is probably somewhat sanitized. The elders brought with them the thirteen crystal skulls which are, as far as I’m aware, repositories of vast knowledge designed to be released to society at the proper time.

12 OCTOBER 2010 Mayan Elders Bring Message of Hope for 2012

UNITED NATIONS, Oct 11– Leading Mayan Elders held a news conference last week at the United Nations Church Plaza hosted by the Society for Enlightenment and Transformation (SEAT), the spiritual arm of the UN, to quell the doomsday paranoia and send a message of hope and peace.

The press gathering marked the opening of the “Legend of the 13″, an event-series produced by New Realities, Oracle Stone and the Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment of New York City, which brought together for the first time the 13 Mayan crystal skulls.

Amid worsening environmental and political crises, public anxieties about the “end of the world” are escalating. Particularly in North America, where spirituality has largely given way to hyper industrialization and technological advancement, the fear of 2012 takes on greater weight with every natural disaster or humanitarian catastrophe.

Many have begun to take seriously the “prediction” that the world will implode within the next two years. But according to Mayan Elder Grandfather Don Alejandro Cirilo, all we need to fear about December 21, 2012 is a slight chance of cloud cover, and “heart attacks caused by too much thinking”.

For centuries this date, the last recorded day in the ancient Mayan calendar, has carried a deep message about the fate of the world. But the prediction made thousands of years ago by meticulous Mayan astrologers has been so badly misinterpreted and misrepresented in the west that its original meaning has been lost.

According to Mayan Historian Don Pedro Chuc Pech, 2012 marks the end of the fifth period of the sun, which has taken 5,200 years to complete its cycle. The sixth period will begin on December 21, 2012, a time when “Mother Earth will be replenished with energy from Grandfather Sun.”

For the Mayans, who have endured thousands of years of catastrophe, now is the time to celebrate the survival of humanity, not to mourn an impending disaster.

Alan Steinfeld, Director of New Realities, worked tirelessly to bring the thirteen crystal skulls, some of them over 5,000 years old, together in New York City. “Together with the prophesies of the Mayan elders,” he said, “they create the configuration of something new emerging.”

Humbatz Men, a high Solar Priest, spoke gravely about the human race who have forgotten and abandoned their cosmic essence “Before the western colonialists spoiled our world,” he said, “the Mayans knew many secrets of the cosmos.”

He spoke of human beings’ backwardness in spiritual knowledge, the penury of western education compared to that of the Mayans and of the destructive and distractive features of technology preventing us returning to our celestial roots.

His words were accompanied by a symphony of camera clicks and flashes and jarring cellphone ring-tones. The irony of a sacred ceremony marred by technological omnipresence gave rise to questions about New York City, a hub of consumerism, as the best place for the gathering.

But for some, the answer was obvious. “After 9/11,” Steinfeld told IPS, “this city had a spiritual awakening. It is a cultural capital and having the event here made a lot of sense.” The Elders also expressed hope in New York as a space of transformation.

“You have to remember that this is the time of the feminine,” Flordemayo, a member of the International Council of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, told IPS.

“It is the time of androgyny, and why not New York? This is about bringing people together, about unity and oneness, not separateness but the collective.”

Amidst these messages of faith, Grandfather Cirilo also delivered a warning: that our planet is plagued with diseases of greed and violence. Of his 82 years he has spent the last 20 traveling the world to spread the knowledge of his people.

Often his wisdom is met with dismissal, even ridicule. But he will continue to deliver what he knows to be true. “We are coming close to the time when money will be worthless,” he said, urging us to look beyond the material world and reconnect with spirituality.

The following Sunday over five hundred people gathered in the John E. Reeves Great Hall at the Fashion Institute of Technology to usher in the calendar date 10.10.10. Triple digit dates are significant in both the Mayan and the Gregorian calendars as “trigger points” of personal and planetary healing.

To the music of steel drums, Flordemaya led a diverse congregation of people in a prayer for Mother Earth.

“We didn’t expect the event to be this big,” Steinfeld admitted to IPS. “The mainstream misses the depth of these messages, so we generally appeal to the people in the edges.” Yet the event drew hundreds from all walks of life who were ready to hear, in Steinfeld’s words, that “the old ways  aren’t working. Now is the time for new realities.”

    Love it! I thought the majority of the Crystal Skulls were lost. I’m glad to see they’re all there :)

      I was surprised to learn that the skulls are all found. Makes me wonder, if we can find 13 skulls hidden all over the world, why can’t we find Osama Bin Laden?

    YES ! This was one of the major expectations during this time. I asked a channeler I work with about four months ago whether the Pyramids of Giza would be activated. The short answer was strong possibillity by late 2010 I believe that the Skulls would have something to do with these activations. Cayce said there is a hall of records near the Pyramids and that three predestined souls would be there to open or activate the Hall.
    `
    There are also other sites including in the Yucatan and in the Bimini area off Florida.

    YES YES YES

      I know this is exciting news, John – but I’m not sure on the details of why. Can you lead me to an appropriate website to research this? :)

    Yesterday was my partner’s birthday. He’s always wanted this bottle of vodka that was in the shape of a crystal skull. On the box was a short description of the 13 Crystal skulls. Then today I come across this post. Looks like my guardians are letting me know something. What do yall think it could be. I believe everything happens for a reason. I’m so excited. I can’t wait until full disclosure takes place.

      So true Jonathan! Sometimes I think when I see something once, and then see it all over the place, “somebody” is trying to point something out to me! :)

    The Elders of Mayan civilization look to 2012 as period of transformation. This is predicted in all spiritual scriptures. Bible speaks of return of Christ and entry into kingdom of God. Vedas speak of end of Kali-yuga and entry in Golden age and so on. Yet all of them speak this as critical period of great trouble that stresses humanity. Probably we are witnessing this in terms of peaking of disorder and destruction, climatic catastrophes and so on. Very clearly humanity and his mind is playing role in it. We are ruled by material knowledge advocated by temples of science. Many intellectual from this school have shown utterly pessimistic view of earth and humanity. Stephen Hawking gave call to the world “Abandon Earth or face Extinction” Father Gaia noble lauret James Lovelock showed pessimism in his book “Vanishing face of Gaia – The Final Warning” Only few spiritually enlightened keep hopes. But this hope needs a platform to transform. This platform can only come from advancing Gaia and understanding the Living Reality of Nature – https://sites.google.com/site/2012sciencemeetsgod/advancing-gaia-hypothesis

    As I read this article, I kept thinking about the energy activation that occurred in NYC, from the crystal skulls and the blessing of the Mayan elders present. Absolutely wonderful! I’m sure a paradigm shift is in the works! :)

    My four 1 – 1/2″ high crystal skulls are each different indicating that they were hand made and not machine made. They are placed with my Mexican Maya amber collection from the mines in Simojovel Chiapas Mexico. The same area of the ancient Olmic, Maya, Toltic and Aztec mines of old. On the shelf of blue amber is one of the crystal skulls, as is the other three on the shelves of green, red and amber colored amber. When the sun shines through the glass cabinet and on the colored amber pieces, the individual crystal skull is in this reflected and colored light. I am not surprised that when the Europeans came to the Americas and saw the brightly colored amber bead necklaces on the natives, they were taken by the beuity of these amber colors, that included violet, purple, lavender, orange, lemon yellow, and black.
