The Quiche and Maam traditions have held strongly to much of the information given to them by ancient star beings. The Maya are not based in race, but consciousness. The Priests and Priestesses were the ones called Maya. There are 40 ethnic groups that have the Mayan tradition. Each tribe has its own language, but all have the same Mayan Cosmo vision.
All tribes have the same basic beliefs, and all understand about harmonizing nature.
The vision of the Mayan world began about 22,000 years ago and is made up of cycles of time called SUNS or worlds. The end of the 4th Sun and beginning of the 5th Sun is Dec. 21, 2012. In 14 years the state of human consciousness will radically change. The relationship with the Pleiades and the Mayan world is written in the sacred books of the Maya. It is in the consciousness of the grandmothers and grandfathers who had it passed on to them.
