Mayan Calendar

I am a student of the Mayan Calendar because it is the only unambiguous timeline left to us. There is no other document, artifact, or writing of any form that gives us a timeline of where we have been, where we are now, and where we are going. The Mayan system of calendars was designed to record the evolution of consciousness over a period of 16.4 billion years which the Maya divided into 9 consecutive levels of 13 time periods or kingdoms, each 20 times shorter than the previous cycle, each built upon the other. There is not just one calendar, as we think of calendars, but the Maya had many calendars utilized for tracking differents aspects of energy wave forms. The Tzolkin or day calendar, a 260 day calendar, coupled with the Tun calendar or galactic calendar - 360 days- were not physical calendars. In other words, they were not recording any relationship between two physical objects as our Gregorian Calendar does.


The Tzolkin, referred to as Harmonic Module, by Jose` Arguelles (The Mayan Factor) compares it to the IChing in that the Tzolkin "is a system for revealing information relating to a deeper or larger purpose." Mayan researchers are convinced the Tzolkin is synchronized with the "galactic code". This code seems to govern or generate information affecting the operations of the light cycle which defines resonant frequency ranges of radiant energy, says Arguelles. This includes electricity, heat, light, and radio waves that "inform the self-generative functions of all phenomena, organic or inorganic."


What does that mean for you?


To answer that question lets look at how the Maya used it. The Maya developed a "map" of this energy using 13 numbers and 20 "gods" or day names indicating an archetypal representation of the galactic energy available on any given day. An example of this is the deer, jaguar, or dog. When a Mayan child was born, it was given the day name for that day on the Tzolkin. They realized the energy of a particular day could be utilized to their benefit. In other words, harmonizing their energy/intention with the galactic energy prevalent each day enhanced their lives. This understanding of the cycles of energies emanating from the cosmos could be utilized for their personal empowerment was the basis of the structure of their daily lives.


They utilized this information to plan their daily activities. If the energy of a particular day was conducive to rest and reflection they utilized the day in that way. If the energy of a particular day supported taking care of one's property, then they utilized it in that way.


The Tun and Tzolkin Calendars made one complete revolution in 52 cycles or approximately 52 years. At the end of that cycle they understood that every possibility of creation for that period had occured and so they cancelled all debt, put out the fires in preparation for the next cycle.


It is evident from the information left to us that they were aware of much larger cycles of galactic waves of time and their effect upon life on this planet. How they knew that information did not come down to us - at least we have not discovered that information yet.


living in Choice, as I hope this little snippet of information about the Mayan way of life indicates, includes the necessity for an awareness of the universe and our place in it. It may seem that life is just a series of random events, but the reality is, as shown by the Maya, there is and has always been a cosmic plan and humanity is a part of that plan. According to the Maya the evolving plan is almost complete. Humanity has reached the final period of preparation for truly living in choice as co-creators.



Humanity is now at a crossroads of civilization. We can either move backward to the destruction of ourselves and the planet or we can go forward toward spiritual understanding and the greatest civilization we have ever seen on planet earth.
