Internet chatter continues at a rapid pace concerning the Mayan prophecy about the supposed end of the world on Dec. 21. 

However, a majority of individuals have continued to refute the popular claim. Several of those people are currently celebrating what's being called the "Cosmic Dawn," which consists of sacred fires in Mexico intended to pay homage to the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar.

Gabriel Lemus, considered "the white-haired guardian of the flame," took part in the "New Era" festivities held not too far from the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza, according to Yahoo. He believes the planet's fresh start would officially begin at around 5 a.m. on Friday.

"It is cosmic dawn. We will recover the ability to communicate telepathically and levitate objects ... like our ancestors did," he said.

Also part of the "Cosmic Dawn" celebrations, Mexican-Indian seer, Ac Tah, said gatherers are preparing to receive "a huge magnetic field straight from the centre of the galaxy."

While he's still unsure over which ceremony he'll be partaking in, 32-year-old stuntman and acrobat Terry Kvasnik spoke about his optimism regarding the Earth's future, saying, "Be in love, don't be in fear. I'm going to be in the happiest place I can."

Antonio Vazquez Alba, coined the "brujo mayor" of Mexico, suggested people stand clear from all gatherings taking place on Dec. 21.

"We have to beware of mass psychosis" that could potentially result in "mass suicides, of the kind we've seen before," he said. "If you get 1,000 people in one spot and somebody yells 'fire,' watch out. The best thing is to stay at home, at work, in school, and at some point do a relaxation exercise."

Alba's opinions aside, many individuals are viewing the Earth's newest chapter as a "model for the coming age."  The "Cosmic Dawn" gathering will continue on until Dec. 23.
