THE MAYAN CALENDAR

The revolution will not be televised
The evolution will be telepathised
13.0.0.0.0 - return to the center



Phe Gitsham

There is an underlying agreement on reality found in many ancient cosmologies that links us all to the centre, a truth of interconnected unity as an original state of being that precedes, outlasts and transcends this monkey body experience. The chaos of the present day attempts to absorb ourselves as monkey masters of the material world at the expense of sustainability of the entire planet including us, has increasingly been noted as a symptom of mass schizophrenic separation from who or what we are. Our past seems to hold better offers for understanding our future and unfurling a broader view of the current human disaster in evolutionary context. The world as it was described in ancient times is now being revived from its psychedelic roots in the times when the language centre, the neocortex of the human brain, evolved on a steady diet of plant hallucinogens, such as psilocybin mushrooms and the monkey we know ourselves to be today emerged with language and time as the primary filters of experience.


The Mayan calendar describes the wave movement of the evolution of consciousness as a complex pyramidal matrix of oscillations through creation cycles towards a culmination point by which time we are prophesised to have entered into enlightened telepathised awareness of our unity with the nature of the galaxy and our earth. 2012 - Mayan date 13.0.0.0.0 - Return to the Centre, has also been calculated as having an important end phase of long term cycles in October 2011.


Of 20 intercalated cycles that make up the Mayan calendar, the central hub is the Tzolkin count, a 260day cycle combining the frequencies of 13:20 as a patterning tool for creation forces within our galaxy. The 260 day count is not a tracking of an earthly physical cycle, it is in correlation to energy cycles of the galactic centre that we experience via our sun, which will be in alignment with the galactic centre on the solstice, December 21, 2012, marking completion of a 5113yr cycle. As a creation cycle, 260 days is microcosmically within us as the period of human pregnancy, and historical timelines overlaid with the Mayan calendar are being disseminated revealing an overwhelming synchronicity between longer-term history and the oscillating cycles in the calendar.


Fundamental to the manifested expressions of evolution is the theory of the world tree, a cosmological memetics metaphor at the core of the earth as an axial polar midline that creates and maintains the four directions, giving direction or a map of space to the energies described in calendrical timings. The world tree oscillates while pyramidal cycles of energies known as the 9 underworlds permeate throughout different areas of the earth focussing consciousness into frames. At a simple glance the frames on consciousness can be observed in the differences in manifestation of eastern and western thought, or at a deeper level can be descriptive of the wave movements in modern economics, or the geography of politics, wars and philosophy. The calendar holds within a Mayan meme theory describing how, when and where human thinking emerges as an interaction with consciousness fields of the earth and cosmos. 
(See Dr. Carl Johan Calleman1s book 3The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness2).

At this present time we are in a state of cultural enantiodromia, as the oscillation rate of energy shift increases twenty-fold each time we climb a terrace of the pyramidal matrix of creation cycles, it appears that time is speeding up and the process of field reversal is becoming evident. As we extend ourselves to the unsustainable limits of dominator conquest, the evolution is towards a polar shift (like yin-yang) in collective psyche from the skewed revelations of the humanum in dominator consciousness to a telepathised partnership consciousness with the earth, if we participate. In Maya Cosmogenesis 2012, John Major Jenkins writes 3enantiodromia occurs over relatively brief periods of cultural chaos, and cultural transformation affects peoples1 spiritual values as well as the scientific and philosophical underpinnings of society1s thinkers and policy makers. During these eras of social change a polarization of values occurs, opposite camps define themselves and pull apart, each forming a new set of values, belief systems and philosophies.2 The process of field reversal is a span in which the human spirit undergoes emergence of the unconscious opposite in the course of time.
Inside many of our monkey suits an urge to find out about this calendar is penetrating the tensions created by living on unnatural time as we do with the Gregorian calendar mess, and is evident as waves of information is disseminated across the planet to evolutionary enthusiasts who seek the Mayan calendar.


Perhaps a manifestation of enantiodromic phase of field reversal, there are two calendars circulating. One is the true Mayan count and the other calendar, invented ten years ago by Jose Arguelles, is called the Dreamspell 13 Moon Peace Calendar. The Dreamspell calendar is not in sync with the true Mayan count as is still kept in tradition by the Maya day keepers, it is a calendar combining the patterns of the tzolkin with a 28day moon cycle, plus one 3day out of time2, another day void of energetic alignment to account for Gregorian leap days, with harmonics of other systems and consciousness patterns overlaid.
It is important to the Mayan council of elders that sincere seekers of the Mayan calendar do not misconstrue the Dreamspell calendar for the true count, as its implications are very different.


In interview Dr Carl Johan Calleman, a key researcher, writer and teacher of the Mayan calendar writes, 3In the ancient prophetic books of the Maya, the Books of Chilam Balam, all prophecy, without exception, is related to non-physical cycles, such as baktuns, katuns and tuns, [cycles in the mayan counts] and not to solar or other astronomical cycles. The Dreamspell, in contrast to the Books of Chilam Balam, is a calendar system based on the physical, solar year, and so we may be certain that the Dreamspell is not a prophetic calendar system. In my opinion what the world needs now is instead the true prophetic Mayan calendar2.  


Jose Arguelles, also known as Valum Votan, a current emanation of Pacal Votan, who was a Mayan king in Palenque and time avatar 7th century AD, describes his development of the calendar 3to return the essence of that ancient knowledge to the modern world in a form useful to itS When I discovered the Mayan calendar and mathematics a short time later, I knew
that was the basis of the system of the ancient knowledge. So I just stayed with that, picking up clues along the way2. 


The synodial lunar cycle of 29.5 days is the period after which the moon attains the same phase again eg. full moon to full moon. Traditionally the Mayan Tzolkin is counted with the synodial cycle. On the problems with following the Dreamspell count, Calleman writes, 3Arguelles is telling women that their natural feminine cycle is 28 days. There is however overwhelming evidence (see my article The Mayan Calendar and the Cycles of the Goddess, blog at www.calleman.com) that the female cycles of gestation, menstruation and ovulation in fact are linked to the full moon cycle of 29.5 days, which was how the ancient Maya counted months. The 29.5 day feminine cycle is also why many women experience hormonally related effects on days of full moons. It is only in our current environment of widespread artificial hormones and artificial light that the natural feminine cycles have been perturbed and mostly shortened. Arguelles then seems to want to replace the natural female cycles related to the full moon with a theoretical construct of 28 days, which has neither natural nor spiritual meaning. Whether he is aware of it or not he has fallen into the trap of patriarchal medicine that for long has sought to deny the magical link between the woman and the cycle of the full moonS Its [Dreamspell] main function today is to block people1s understanding of the Mayan calendar and create confusion about this. The Dreamspell is neither a feminine calendar, nor a natural calendar, nor a prophetic calendar. 


This is both an issue of morality and cultural imperialism2.
Arguelles sees more of a picnic between his Dreamspell calendar and the Mayan calendar as he writes, 3I try to discourage 13 Moon calendar and Dreamspell people from calling their workshops 3Mayan calendar" workshops. Even though the Dreamspell is based on the same mathematical system , it is not the Mayan calendar as traditionally understood, nor was it ever meant to be. It was specifically "channelled" as a new universal system for the planetary human at this time. I think all of us need a bit more humor and tolerance. We all have the same roots, and are all working toward the same end, 2012. So let's get together, and smile on our brothers and sisters, and try to love one another everywhere right now!2. But can you appease felt cultural imperialism with a Nirvana song quote, incidently from an album called Nevermind?

The emergence of Dreamspell as a prophetically timed enantiomorph, a non-superimposable reflection of the original prophetic calendar, is the initiator for a global movement for calendar change. Jose Arguelles rides as monkey guru atop the Foundation for the Law of Time, promoting calendar change, teaching Dreamspell1s adapted sacred mathematics to the world of eager psychonauts and temporal wizards, meanwhile a plethora of diatribe dissects his maths revealing inconsistencies and asynchronicity with the traditional long-term cycles of creation. But it seems that most people on the learn about Dreamspell are sincere seekers of the Mayan calendar, and do not realise the imperialistic damage it is causing to indigenous Mayan information and the distribution of the real calendar.

The evolution will be telepathised. So while we tune into the higher scaffoldings of conscious energies, rifts will appear as our spiritual cells divide and globalisation agitates itself into righteous collapse as the only real possible outcome of attempted sustained growthS And we will likely abandon temporal constraints of the clock and the linear calendar for the more intuitive musings of scientia and synchronous solaristics found in the Mayan calendar.
