A quixotic and magnetic new film has been made by Dawn Gifford Engle in which Nobel peace Prize awardees such as Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Rigoberta Menchu Tum and other notables speak about the actual Mayan meaning of the end of the year 2012.
There is a good long film clips here...
A few years back, there arose a media-inflated rumor about 2012, rivaling, in my mind, a “barricade the family in the cellar” doomsday scenario conflated by some in radio and print on paper media about Y2K.
When I recently introduced Rigoberta at a PeaceJam gathering, she told us that 2012 on the Mayan calendar is not ‘an end time,’ but a change time…. something akin to entering for a period, “no time” rather than ‘end of time.’ The former meaning a pause, a suspension for a period, during which an actual self-knowing and contemplation would/ could occur. Something like a fire tower in the forest gradually coming into view… to climb and see where one is at in life, and changing, adapting, correcting then regarding the forward goals and plans, spiritually, mentally, healthwise, familywise, personally and culturally, as well as for and in the greater world etc. Dawn Gifford Engle is a six time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and she is an activist and film-maker and co founder of Peace Jam which often brings kids together with the great minds of our Universe in congregation and contemplation … and then… actions to the good.
From the trailer….
What do the Maya really say about 2012? Is the world going to end on December 21, 2012? Learn more from the most famous Maya in the world, 1992 Nobel Peace Laureate Rigoberta Menchu Tum of Guatemala, and her Mayan elders. Filmed over a period of five years, this 50 minute documentary film takes you deep into the Guatemalan highlands, where a small group of elders have preserved the traditions of the ancient Mayas, passing this deep knowledge down from generation to generation in an unbroken lineage of over 2,000 years.
