According to prophecy, the fifth sun or fifth world of the Mayan calendar moves into ascension on December 21, 2012. This date represents a "gateway" of planetary development that will open humanity to new ways of living and new worlds of opportunity. Ancient traditions have foretold that our successful passage through this gateway depends on the "fifth root race"-new stock in the human gene pool-destined to help us through the exciting and massive changes ahead.
