Mayan Calendar: Evolving Towards Enlightenment - II

By Carl Johan Calleman

In the series, Evolving Towards Enlightenment I-V, Carl Johan Calleman explains the links between the Mayan Calendar Enlightenment and the significance of the year 2012.

The Emerging Galactic Underworld and the IT Civilization
This cycle (of thirteen tun) will begin in 1999 and may have to do with the emergence of some kind of self-generating global computer intelligence. In the same way as the written language was used only by a small part of the human population 13 x 202 tun ago, and is only today something that the whole world is in possession of, we may assume that the possibility that will emerge in 1999 will make a start that is relatively little noticed and then rapidly spread across the planet to prepare for the end of the cycle in 2011.

We have now recently entered the Galactic Creation Cycle (Fig 55) whose wave movement is more exactly and extensively discussed in The Mayan Calendar. In the First DAY of this cycle an awareness spread widely that humanity had entered a new civilization, a new economy, with a change whose scope could only be compared to that of the Industrial Revolution in the mid-18th century. The emergence of this new civilization was seen primarily as a result of the computerized IT revolution.

Such observations of a new civilization are very accurate, but what most people fail to realize is that the emergence of this was predictable from the Mayan calendar, and in fact had already been predicted. The Information Technology is as much a part of the cosmic plan as was once the invention of writing or the invention of the telegraph. The IT civilization has however been prepared for during the entire Fourth World of the Planetary Underworld that began in 1947, when also the first computers were invented.

Thus things do not appear out of nothing – they are prepared for by underlying Worlds. But in exactly the same way as the seeds of the industrial civilization were planted during the first katun, 1755-1775, of the Planetary Cycle, the first seeds of the new IT civilization came to be planted during the first tun of the Galactic Cycle (January 5, 1999 - December 30, 1999). The IT gurus are thus completely right in emphasizing how dramatic the changes taking place now are. The First Heaven in 1999 ruled by Xiuhtecutli, was only the very beginning and there is more to come. What seems absolutely clear is that this new frame of consciousness, and the technology associated with it, will develop according to the pulse wise pattern of Seven DAYS and six NIGHTS shown in Fig 55.

The Galactic Creation Cycle is the Apocalypse
What may be even less commonly realized is that the Galactic Cycle is identical with what in Christian terminology is called the Apocalypse, the Revelation taking place in the completing phase of Creation. That indeed the Galactic Cycle is the Apocalypse is clear, not only because of the relatively cryptic mention in the Book of Revelation of the tun (12:6 and 12:14), but above all through the many sequences of Seven that are described in said Book; Seven angels, Seven spirits, Seven trumpets etc. These are the sequences of Seven DAYS that are all at the same time, October 28, 2011, going towards their completion. The main message of the Book of Revelation is Seven, and the Apocalypse is what is happening now. Contrary to popular opinion, the Apocalypse is however not the end of the world, or at least it is not meant to be. The Book of Revelation ends with a world freed of pain and suffering that is the end of the world as we know it.

Judging from Revelation and also from the rapid energy changes of the Galactic creation cycle we have however little reason to expect that things will be quiet and balanced on the global or galactic levels. On the contrary, the rapid rate of change allows us to predict that there will be stormy waves on the sea of creation. The rate of change will be tremendously high and even increase further as we approach the Universal Cycle. The purpose of this book has been to offer you the aid of the tzolkin in navigating these waters, an aid in aligning your intuition with the cosmic plan and fulfilling your own particular purpose in this. I feel that as long as we do what we are meant to do, we will essentially be happy.

The Elevation of the Human Consciousness by the Galactic Creation Cycle generates potential Conflicts –The Case of the Middle East
What does it mean that we are now gaining a galactic consciousness? Partly, it means that our world is beginning to be expanded in a more real. In 1999, the first DAY of the Galactic Cycle the existence of extrasolar planets was for instance definitely proved and so our expanding consciousness is leading us to widen our horizons. This also means increasing our ability to see things from a higher perspective. ”Does this higher perspective lead to peace?” we may then ask. In the long run yes, but in the short run it is undetermined. This is because the rapid changes in energies will also lead to turmoil as all change may potentially generate conflicts. It is easy to see how in the past energy changes have often propelled military campaigns (see Chapter 3). Even pulses of new LIGHT may thus generate conflicts and in fact both the Napoleonic Wars and World War I occurred in DAYS during the Planetary Cycle, DAY 2 and DAY 5, respectively. And so the changes propelled by DAYS 2 and 5, approximately the years 2001 and 2007 (see Fig 55), may potentially generate warfare also in the Galactic Cycle.

But will wars break out? At the time of writing, late in the year 2000 an extensive war in the Middle East appears as a real possibility for the year 2001, and of course the analogy with the Napoleonic Wars in the Second DAY of the Planetary Cycle would make such a development even more likely. And if we look upon it from the point of view of Mayan calendrics the Napoleonic Wars (DAY 2, 1794-1814) really meant a push to sweep away the old world of Royal dynasties that Europe had inherited from the lower National Underworld. They thus prepared the ground for a development towards republics and democracy that has become an expression typical of the consciousness of the Planetary Cycle and that we now take for granted. That Napoleon Bonaparte had personal ambitions and took the role of an emperor, an extreme expression of the old order, at the same time as he shook up the old world order only shows how individual choices come in and hybrid forms of existence often manifest as a new frame of consciousness begins to dominate over the previous. The objective function that the Napoleonic Wars had was however to shake-up and forever weaken the old order as DAY 2 of the Planetary Cycle began. Although the reaction of NIGHT 2 (1814-1834) reinstalled many of the dynasties that had ruled Europe previously their power was from this point and onwards step-by-step weakened by the increasing dominance of the new frame of consciousness.

In the Middle East today the situation is somewhat similar in that conflicts have erupted whose origin is very directly part of the old order created by the frame of consciousness generated early in the National Cycle. Clearly many of the attitudes upon which the politics and military conflicts in the area are based are completely outdated. Thus, as the second DAY of the Galactic Cycle, bringing a new higher frame of consciousness, sweeps the world it is very likely that things will happen in such areas where people are dominated by antiquated thinking. It is obvious that the old order of religious conflicts in the Middle East has no future as the new higher frame of consciousness becomes dominant, and so one way or another the conflicts there will have to be resolved. These are conclusions that we may draw from the Mayan calendar and the resolution may largely come in the second DAY of the cycle.

The question is only what this resolution will look like. And here obviously individual choices come in. An enlightened position in this case is that we are all children of the same God and aspects of the same creation process, and that all that differs between human beings is less important. In a sense this conflict is not even a conflict between people or between religions, but a conflict generated by different levels of consciousness that tend to foster different mentalities, which have to be harmoniously resolved. Also elsewhere in the world people will be affected by the new second pulse of Galactic consciousness that will serve a higher perspective, and generally, an evolution towards transcending conflicts inherited from the National Cycle will take place.

But many in the area have come to identify with and base their power on adherence to ancient religious principles and will not like to see that swept away by a new wind of higher consciousness. Thus even though the area will be strongly affected by the new pulse of higher galactic consciousness very likely the outcome will be some hybrid expression of the galactic consciousness. Regardless, step-by-step, conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world, will be transcended as the higher level of consciousness become dominating, and from this there will be no turning back. But the critical point for whether this results in violent or non-violent expressions is to what extent people freely and consciously choose to adapt to the emerging frame of consciousness. God only provides us with the possibility of choosing peace. We have to do it ourselves.
