So the Mayans actually believe (according to the BBC, which interviewed actual Mayan spiritual leaders) that today heralds a new dawn, a new vibration, of prosperity and peace.

"The galactic bridge has been established," spiritual leader Alberto Arribalzaga said earlier this week.

"The cosmos is going to take us to a higher level of vibration... where humanity is in glory, in joy," he added."

I'll take that!!

The article doesn't say if the guy quoted is Mayan, but who cares, I'll still take it!
