The Apocalypse, Armageddon, Judgment Day, Doomsday, cataclysmic disasters on a Biblical scale...the End of Days as we know it. This book is your guide to navigating the revelation, and the Rosetta Stone for deciphering this once-every-25,800-year galactic alignment cycle set to commence on December 21, 2012. Open Your Eyes: To 2012 and Beyond will lay the foundation and build a framework around 2012 to help you ascertain the answers to the question that's synonymous with ambiguity: When will the world as we know it end? Open Your Eyes will literally do just that-open your eyes-and release you from your programmed mind in order to shed light and truth on controversial subjects bound together by fate, not coincidence. Part self-help, part current affairs, this book provides an investigation of a myriad correlating prophesies and events that synergistically corroborate one another. Each piece of the End of Days puzzle comes into view by the book's end to reveal a crystal clear picture of what is about to occur with our fragile world. This complete picture will manifest an epiphany within you. Many topics discussed here have remained undisclosed to the public, are sensitive and not publicly indoctrinated. Trained for war by the U.S. Marines Corps infantry and then turned pacifist, author Drew R. Maras raises the flag of awareness on the duality of man and the importance of peace. So, if you want some answers-or just a provocative, powerful ride-this book is just for you.

Chapter One

Established Prophecies of Dire Warning

2012 Draws Near

The time is soon approaching, yet nothing changes. The curable symptoms are everywhere, yet the condition worsens. The end as we know it is barreling down on us, yet we don't move to respond. December 21, 2012, is not a lone wolf prophecy. It is not a Y2K event. This is an event foreseen by many brilliant and gifted minds, each predicting the same vision at different and random times throughout history, all of whom foresaw December 21, 2012, to be the beginning of the end. We MUST learn from the past to survive the future. Even NASA is predicting a catastrophic event, possibly of Biblical proportions, to occur. Solar flares from the sun and/or polar shift (polar reversal) would severely alter the life that we take so casually for granted. Every 25,800 years, our Earth, sun, solar system, and Milky Way line up. Although this great cosmic alignment is unarguable, what happens and stems from the alignment is highly debated. We must remember that everything runs on a cycle like our weather patterns and seasons. This alignment happens every 25,800 years and will precisely align on the winter solstice of 2012, a date that most of us will live to see.

This date is real, as are the consequences of not acting now. We should live our lives in a different light and with a greater respect for the small things in life that we take for granted. We must open our eyes to see that everything as we know it could be over in the snap of a finger. Nevertheless, many individuals are too caught up in their everyday lives and don't want to comprehend just how fragile our way of life is. Some may think it to be cynical, pessimistic, or opinionated and just don't care to hear it, but a realist knows that with the good comes the bad, with the positive comes the negative. It's not just one-sided. The sweet can never be as sweet without the sour.

The Maya

The Maya calendar began in 3113 BC and is set to end on December 21, 2012. To this day, we still have a lot of questions regarding the ancient, yet extremely sophisticated Maya cyclical calendar, also known as "The Tzolkin," or Maya Sacred Calendar.

This was their instrument for interpreting the date, time, and celestial events in the night sky with astonishing precision. To get the Maya prophetic Long Count Calender, the Maya communities combined their 365-day solar calendar, or Haab, with their 260-day Tzolkin Calender to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabs, called the Calendar Round. Their solar calendar, the Haab, was ten times more accurate than our current calendar which is something that's hard to fathom from a supposedly primitive culture. In 2009, our common calendar system is called the Gregorian Calendar and consists of 365.25 days in a year, which is the amount of time it takes our Earth to orbit the sun. Each year obviously breaks down into 12 months of approximately 30 days each. The Tzolkin consists of 13 months of approximately 20 days each, and more importantly, counted the cycles of Earth revolving around the sun with respect to the sun's galactic orbital cycles. Their prophetic calendar, which last renewed itself approximately 5,125-years-ago, is due to end again, with catastrophic consequences on the winter solstice of December 21, 2012. "The Maya civilization flourished in what is now Central America and Mexico from 300-900 AD and actually had an understanding of 17 total calendars, some of which charted time accurately over the past 10 million years." (http://skepdic.com/maya.html) The sacred and radically advanced "Maya calendar was so accepted that it was adopted by other Mesoamerican nations like the Aztecs." (www.webexhibits. org/calendars/calendar-mayan.html)

Using their three different dating systems in parallel, the Long Count, the Tzolkin (divine calendar), and the Haab (civil calendar), the Maya believed and predicted a disastrous convergence to occur at the end of the Mayan calendar cycle-December 21, 2012. The Maya were so meticulous and obsessed with keeping time that their calendar's precision was calibrated enough to predict lunar eclipses and galactic activity ACCURATELY thousands of years in the future. Yet, their calendar mysteriously ends on the day of December 21, 2012, and when the cycle ends the apocalypse and End of Days will be upon us. The Maya left their prophecies in codices, many of which were burned and destroyed in 1519 when Hernando Cortez arrived with the Spanish conquistadors and their fleet of eleven Spanish galleons. There are four remaining codices which can be seen and studied in libraries across Europe. If it weren't for sympathetic Spanish priests there wouldn't have been any message to be passed along and studied from generation to generation. The best Mayan codex was purchased in Vienna in 1733 and is known as the Vienna-Dresden Codex. This codex was deciphered by Mayan scholars to show destruction of the Earth by flood.

The Maya were gurus and masters of the dynamics of astronomy and astrology, so much so that their temples were built to mirror the constellations in the night sky. Their temples and stone formations were set up to mimic our planetary alignment and, from a bird's eye view, replicate the orbit of the planets in our solar system. They knew that the sun was the center of our solar system hundreds of years before Western astronomers discovered that truth. The Maya pyramids were also built as three-dimensional calendars, an architectural marvel and feat. Many find it hard to believe that a primitive civilization could not only conceive of, but construct and build such things without alien intervention. The Pyramid of Kukulkan at Chichen Itza was used as a calender comprised of four stairways, each with 91 steps and a platform at the top, making a total of 365, equivalent to the number of days in a calendar year.

The Maya are best known for their prophetic calendar that ends on December 21, 2012, but they should be known for their elongated skulls as well, another valuable clue linking the Maya with alien intervention. The unnatural, elongated skulls found near the Pyramid ruins of Kukulkan from the...
