The Mayan Calander

enharmonic

I've read a number of books on that list. To it, I would add a few

The Tao of Physics - Fritjof Capra
A New Model of the Universe - P. D. Ouspensky
The Mysticism of Sound and Music - Hazrat Inayat Khan
The Upanishads - Eknath Easwaran edition

binger

Yes, see. This is wonderful. Gleanings from so many different sources but with a positive intention.

And also Tuvian Throat Singing - not something I would ever dream of doing, but I think it may be the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. The process of creating harmonics with the voice. 2 notes from one mouth at the same time. I think my spirit changed forever in that moment as I couldn't see it as anything but divine inspiration! Thanks for the reminder!

Another one for the list - Brian Talbot 'The holographic universe'.

Great Guys! Been there on the Holographic Universe!
The movie "What the bleep do you know?" Has a lot of concepts on this. I remember the first time I watched it and never got into it. Too hokey for me. And as bias and boundaries continue to break down, I have that Aha! moment.

I'll raise the list to include
"The Popol Vuh" the Mayan "bible"
and add anything about creating personal Mandala's. A great Catharsis.
Any music by a band called Pearl Jam! A great ocean of wisdom in my consciousness. And there is the water again! Love the process!

Keep em coming!

This is really interesting stuff! Although I'm part hindu/part humanist, I can never rule out the power of creation myself. I don't know much about this sort of stuff but I've always found it wierd how ancient cultures all seemed to have similar ideas or approaches, such as in their view of god (some roman and hindu gods for example are similar). I don't know if this is the result of some ancient knowledge from somewhere or as a result of migration or other events.

I have a few questions anyway:

1) where does the chinese understanding of the "chi" or "qi" energy force come into this? It doesn't mention much of that culture. I always thought they had a handle on understanding ancient energy forces too (in a different way probably).

2) Why is there an acceleration period on creation? I've always felt the world was turning faster and things moving too quickly just in my own life - is this part of it? Why is that?

3) This begs the question as to what happens after the Universal period from feb 20 2011. What's that about?

4) Were the mayans able to predict their own demise? Is that why they declined - because they knew it was going to happen?

5) How did the Mayans develop this calendar? Are there examples of similar calendars/outlooks in other cultures from this age?

the enlightenment is an ongoing thing...not a period of time...al though ya it did start around the industrial times...


but also

and this is just my take, try to make it short..

people seem to take the end of the calendar as the end of our world, and it may be, but there is a bigger question.

when thinking of the first cell... think of yourself as a cell

the cell ended a period of what we can percieve as nothingness..

so what will end the period of conciousness..

The Law of attraction is an amazing thing. These past two weeks i have been reading books on the Mayan calendar and the law of attraction. And here I sit down and what appears on the board is your thread. I am starting to get a little freaked out but that only means that I am starting to take it to hart. thank you for this thread. Any more info that you can find and share with us would be great.

The Maya also had a "Christ Like" figure, also resurected on the 3rd day, and also bearing wounds on the palms and feet. I am reading this amazing test called the Kolbrin. A book, I'm not sure where it came from, but supposedly an amalgamation of ancient Egyptian and Celtic Mysticism. In reading it, I find I have been transported back into time for this book parallels the bible story of the great flood, the 10 plagues and the Exodus from Egypt. From the side of the Egyptians and other. Not from the side of the Jews. It runs parallel with some of the Bible stories I've read and incorporates many other stories, I have heard of my entire life in fairy tale, mythology, and fable.

The parallels in all my readings, led me to question religion and it's true intent. Perhaps keeping "secret" wisdom secret to keep the masses from thinking and feeling that we are more than our own body. In that they maintain control and power.

Like I said before, I have a very limited backround with Bible study, save that of my Grandmothers wisdom. Herself being a Jehovah's Witness excommunicated my entire life. I attended Catholic Church 5 times a week in highschool by choice. Long story short.... met a boy.... fell away for a while.... Stopped believing in religion... And started believing in the power to CHOOSE! I started feeling the concept of in every moment in my life, I' have chioce and in that, I am my own God. The Kolbrin employs the concept of a Greater God, the Creator, and Lesser Gods, men. There is much talk about the soul and the soul seed. I wonder how this parallels Mormonism because I know nothing about that.

And WAP! one night I'm sitting in front of my computer watching a video series on the Mayan Calendar for I don't know what reason... But in that moment, I felt a cascade of events that led me to my present... And hopeful about the future...

As I started Reading into these texts and realize that they all say the same flipping thing! And I dont want to leave the Koran out either. There is amazing wisdom in there too.

So in doing these globalized, synchronized meditations to bring oneself closer to the Earth and in the spirit of peace. (Beginners need to meditate on the 'outside' of the body). I feel that people all around are getting there. I feel a "oneness" that transcends the bias and boundaries that we all put up.
These meditations are centered on the Ahau days of the Mayan Calendar (That translating into "Lord" and being the end of a repeating 20 day mayan month). But these meditations are also across the globe and the US in different forums. I think if more people start thinking about this. And thought radiate our as energy affecting the things all around us (Butterfly effect guys). Then if we all start pushing out positive thoughts then we can change the world. These meditations are centered around pulses in the Venus cycle.

Apocalypse translates to change. Perhaps the apocalypse is the breakdown of religion and we all enter into a new world of acceptance and spirituality. No longer alone in our search for God, but a oneness with God, and other man. Ahhh World Peace. In this new Fifth Day period we are all in. The light is at it's brightest... The barriers have been removed. The information is out there just waiting to be tapped. The major consciousness that is changing in my sincere belief is that we are working towards peace. Gained during a meditation session including the author of the Mayan Calendar book, Carl Calleman, at the start of the fifth day cycle and coinciding with a venus pulse. The author said that the evolution of consciousness that is changing all around the planet now is the consciousness that wars cannot be won. Wars can still be fought, but they cannot be won. Great to ponder and to me it makes sense. I want to listen to the song "Living Planet" by Jay Mankita. Great song! Though not PJ.

Great Wisdom from my daughter as she jumped into the car the other day!
She says, "MOM! I want to go to Washington DC! Know why? This might sound kind of weird and gross, but Mom, Albert Einstein's brain is in Washington DC and Do you know what mom? He has the most wrinkley brain ever! The more you think, the more wrinkley your brain gets! I wonder if anyone can have a more wrinkley brain than him?"

Epiphanies on that one statement rush through my head. From the mind and heart of a 9 year old girl. I start thinking about Science and Biology, Cellular structure, Atomic electron structure and stability, the planetary rotations in relation to the electrons. I think back to my own college experience and that we already know what parts of the brain have effects on different areas of our body. I wonder if just thinking those thoughts that are focused in a certain area of the brain will help you develop that area. This is the concept that I later associated with the Power of Intention book by Wayne Dyer.

The mayan speed up is just talking about how time speeds up seemingly as technology advances. It is our choice how we use that technology because with it comes great misuse. That what once was taking 20 years to complete (Generation Gap) is now completed in a year. I can actually grasp the concept of instant manifestation of what we want in the technology we have and if it serves a purpose, what is it? If the system breaks down.... Monitary, political, social... We will still have the same resources that we had before... Just not the same delivery system. Maybe this instant internet communication this is prepping us all for something greater and maybe in looking at the footsteps of communication advances in relation to the mayan cycle, we are moving toward telepathy. That if the system should suddenly break down, we will have that knowledge to bring us through to the next level. And the Mayan Calendar, if true, gives us a time frame in which to look for changes. And a realization that if something bad is going to happen (The fifth night period, set to start in 2007 and also lasting 360 days)but if we know how to prepare for that, it makes it less stressful.

The Ethics train is on a crash course with the Power train and Ethics will overcome. There is more humanity in man than hate. And if I can get there. A Sinning, cursing, swearing, smoking, nurse, wife and mom on my own in my own search, I believe there is hope for all of us. That creation is always put forth with positive intention and from there we take it down negative roads. As I have been going through my days with a new awareness of the Spiritual Energy Flow that is the basis of the Mayan Calendar, I am constantly amazed, and in that reminded that there is a greater purpose in life.

That when our spirit calls on us to act (usually around age 30 according to a spiritual alchemy lecture I listened to) it is our choice in that moment to become successful and run with it, or push it away. Maybe that is where mental illness and injury comes from. That has to do with the Qi or Chi.

I did a paper in college about Chi Gong therapy. The thought that there is 7 different energy pathways or flows running through the body. They do not follow the circulatory patterns of blood or lymph. And when the energy patterns are disruppted, illness and injury result. That is the goal of the true faith healers. To realign the Chi. So they took accupuncture needles and tipped them into radioactive dye, like the kind they would use in a CT scan and placed them on the different accupuncture points on the body. Then they did a CT scan and it was showed that the dye followed definate pathways through the body but not along the blood/lymph paths. It has been over 10 years since I worte this paper, so I can't source it for you. But this place is full of wisdom and perhaps someone else can add some light to the issue.

No, but thanks, I'll check that out. Here is more info I pulled from a spreadsheet I'm working on.

Today (12-19-06) is 7-Kimi in the Mayan Tzolkin Calendar - Day #46 of 260.

The Tzolkin energy tone of the day is Seven. it is Mysterious, magic. A world beyond worlds, reflective. Flow of the divine. Dreams. Purpose. The Arrow. Seven is the connection to the flow of all creation. The source. The energy that sees other worlds. Tone seven frequency is the portal to the unknown; the place of mysteries and dreams. Tone seven people hold this energy in their bodies and have been known to look through the gateway to the other side. Tone seven people help us on this planet by bringing in concepts and tools for the rest of humanity - often refered to as 'inventors'

A good day to transform lack of direction or purpose ,
I am working on a graph system putting all of the info I have came across into some sort of easy to live by daily wall calendar. To get up and look at what day it is, what energy flow it could be, and tune in to that process. As you can tell, there are many question marks as I have the info, but not all collated yet. This is the portion I had finished so far on this day. I share with you. Hope any of this is helpful to you all.

i really really want to believe in stuff like this. but i find more enlightenment in a cup of coffee.

You don't have to believe in it to be enlightened by it. It's all rather fascinating and beautiful in itself, even as a work of fiction.

And in full context, those words were spoken in September. A lot can change from then til now.

Ehhh, 7 is also in the bible. It represents the meeting point between the divine (3) and the worldly (4). 3+4 is 7. I find it interesting that it is the "connection" to the flow of all creation in your belief system.

The divine is 3 because of the trinity. The worldly is 4 because of the many 4s on earth, such as the 4 directions (east south etc), the 4 "elements" (earth, fire, air, water), etc.

I tend to be extremely skeptical of the idea of "energy." I tend to associate it more with "God."

binger

Not necessarily my belief system... It is still evolving. It's just interesting to go through the 1-13 cycle and watch how the day unfolds. This is the point I am at in my search for what it all means to me. I'm not saying it is the way. I think that everybody gets there in their own way, but whatever you find that offers wisdom and insight, that is positive in nature and serves your own personal soul, then it is good.

When you compare and contrast the different books throughout history, you start to see all the parallels in the stories. You start to get a sense of oneness with other faiths. I walked into this with so much skepticism and that is also what I'm saying. But given an ounce of openness to a different idea is what brought to this process. And I feel that it has only enriched my life. So... giving thanks for the process and tangability. To people whom I have always held in high regards.

People in power over church and country I imagine are loosing footing, It feels as so many more things are being discovered with the current technology we have, we are gaining new understandings about how the world and universe works. That is the nature of science and evolution. Our consciousness evolves as we become aware of the things going on around the world. We can virtually visit enough places to gain an understanding of another culture or viewpoint.

Blogs have made it almost impossible for people to keep up with back alley deals and political propoganda. Everybody is putting their opinion out there. If you want to learn about a subject, you don't have to go to college anymore to become a master of it. I'm talking about deciding to do exactly whatever it is that your spirit is calling you to do and then run with it. Using todays technologys as portals to possability. You don't have to be in the business anymore to get noticed. Look at myspace music bands. They sell tickets online now before they go on tour to ensure a sellout. Just one example. And next year it is going to be something entirely different that is going to dramatically change out viewpoint and open up more possabilities. That was not the case for our parents who had television or grandparents who had radio.

There are other cultures that used similar calendar systems. There have been many more bits of wisdom kept secret for so long and all of that is coming to light in the public eye. Found after the books that make up the Bible, books from the same periods of time, books that are equally as insightful and as old or older. Why then are they left out? Who left them out of after discovery, suppressed them? What are the holy wars about? People trying to change a system. How do you change a system? Burn the books and recreate history. Tell people what it is right and wrong to do and make a new calender and dating system to signify the change. Destroying old customs and cultures to rebuild the new ones. It has happened before. It is not that much of a stretch to think that maybe it could happen again. And that would be a huge change. Religion breaking down. That dosent mean faith and spirit breaking down the way I see it.

I'm not saying that my way is the right way. It just works for me and I'm happy to share it because all of it sitting in my head only serves my own purpose. And it begs for tangability.

When we consciously occlude someone else's viewpoint, we just limit the information out there before it hits our eyes and ears, we halt creation. That is how religion has always been. Most thrive on keeping us in the dark and aware of only one way. Unconscious to all others. No wonder we use so little of our brain consciously.

The mayan calender supports a timeframe that outlines the periods of change in consciousness of the universe. That's how I look at it. When I started applying the process into my own consciousness, things started opening up for me. That's what I wanted to share. We have tremendous power in all of our words and thoughts in choosing what kind of energy we put out there. I don't want to make you feel bad. It would eventually make me feel bad. I dont want to feel bad. That kind of thing.
