MAYAN CALENDAR

The Mayan year, beginning always on July 26, called a tun consisting of 360 days (called kin ) and 5 or 6 epagomenals called Vayeb , weeks, called Uinals , are 13 kin long and numbered perpetually over a span of 20 days, named as follows: Imix, Ik, Akbal, Kan, Chicchan, Cimi, Manik, Lamat, Muluc, Oc, Chuen, Eb, Ben, Ix, Men, Cib, Caban, Edznab, Cauac, Ahau. The months, which are 20 days long, but numbered from 0 to 19 are as follows: Pop, Yax, Vo, Zac, Zip, Ceh, Zotz, Mac, Xec, Kankin, Xul, Muan, Yaxkin, Pax, Mol, Kayab, Ch'en, Cumku. . . and the Vayeb intercalaries.

Time is reckoned in units of 20. Thus 20 tun make a katun, 20 katun make a baktun, 20 baktun make a pictun, 20 pictun make a calabtun, 20 calabtun make a kinchiltun, and 20 kinchiltun make an Alautun, which latter amounts to 163,040,000 years.

The present cycle began in the year 3113 B.C. and ending in 2012 A.D., is the final part of a 26,000 year cycle (a zodiacal age), and (according to José Argüelles) June 20, 1986 was "10 Ben, 9 Kayeb, 12.18.14.18.9" meaning baktun 12, katun 18, year 14, vinal 18, day 9 and kin 1862599 (number of days elapsed from the initiation point of the Great Cycle)."

The "Harmonic Convergence" of 1987 was the beginning of the end of the last five years of the Hell cycle. 1992 is the beginning of the final 20-year countdown to the completion of the 26,000 year galactic cycle. (The time it takes the sun to circle the Pleiades). One of the stars in the Pleiades is called "Maya."

Queztalcoatl

(Aztec - "feathered-serpent")

 An Aztec god of the air or a sun-god and a benefactor of their race who instructed them in the use of agriculture, metals and the like.

According to one account, Quetzalcoatl was driven from the country by a superior god and on reaching the shores of the Mexican Gulf promised his followers that he would return. He then embarked on his magic skiff for the land of Tlapallan.

The Great Bird-Serpent is the most powerful figure in Mexican mythology, and it was known and accepted as a god in ancient Mexico and Central America. Accordingly, he dominated the great early American civilizations, from the land of the Incas in South America, to the Pueblo Indians of the our southwestern desert; from Teotihuacan (Mexico City) on the high plateau to Chichen Itza in Yucatan, he is a prevailing motif on ancient monuments.

Sometimes with his jaws open, bifid tongue, and articulated spinal column, he is easily recognizable. At others, he seems to have been coded in an almost infinite variety of formalized patterns derived from his famous scales, or feathers.

To the ancients, Quetzalcoatl became the force for understanding the universe, as it was known before the introduction of modern religion by the Conquistadors of Spain. The god Quetzalcoatl represented, to the ancient peoples of Central and South America, the very essence of life.

KALI YUGA

1/1000 of Kalpa. This age in which we are living is the Kali Yuga, or "Dark Age," and lasts 432,000 years, having begun in 3102 B.C. It is well known, however, that the ancient Indic method of counting years was highly arbitrary from our point of view. Obviously, we have come down to the final days of the Kali Yuga -- 3102 B.C. is the mirror of 2013 A.D., the Mayan end of time.

CHIROPS

Bat God - one of the mysterious "supreme" deities. (Cf. Satan's batwings and the triliteral Arab root kh-f-sh, which depending on the vowels can mean "bat" or "ruin", destruction"). In Mesoamerican religions, the bat stands for enlightenment, since it awakens in the darkness. The Mayan god is Camazotz.

FLOOD

The Flood or Deluge that encompassed the ancient world can be seen as an analogy for a flood of ignorance that engulfed civilization and wiped out the wisdom of the ages. Perhaps the same may be said of Atlantis and Lemuria. Noah and Deucalion are repositories of the ancient traditions and the "ark" that saved the animals is nothing more than Nature itself, which was not involved (as it is today) in the destruction of man's world.The Flood was the Ending, also, of the Mayan 4th Sun.

Manetho, in Sothis, concurs in relating the Flood to the "Flood of Ignorance" which has been increasingly shittifying the world for century after century.

ZUVUYA

José Argüelles' word that he says is what the Maya called "the memory circuit hotline." Earth lies within this galaxy's "experimental zone." The Maya really are galactic travellers who influenced early historical and evolutionary advances by, amongst other things, offering mankind the psychedelic mushroom, "Flesh of the Gods."

In 631 B.C.E. Pacal Votan, Galactic Agent 13 66 56, came to our world, where he remained for 52 years, as supervisor of human evolution. In 550 B.C.E. the Maya sent down another galactic scout (Buddha) who lived 52 years. Finally Kukulkan (Quetzacoatl) was sent. He also lived 52 years. He prophesied that the 13 heaven cycles would wind down in 1519 (the very year, it turned out afterwards, that murderous, enslaving Cortez arrived), whereupon nine 52-year hell cycles would ensue. In 1987, with the Harmonic Convergence, the final hell cycle was completed. In the aftermath of the hell cycles we see that "man is a cancer of the earth." His numbers must be reduced dramatically and permanently. The earth is a hologram of the sun and we are a hologram of the earth. Each of us must become a Mayan and a galactic recruit to this end. A mere twenty-five years are left for us to ready the earth for its transformation or it will be consigned to the rubbish heap of failed experiments.

At the center of the galaxy is Hunab Ku, broadcasting beams of different programs, like a radio station. Earth will phase out of this particular ray in 2012 C.E. Mayans call this the "acceleration synchronization beam." At the end, human activity is accelerated exponentially until it reaches a peak and synchronization occurs. Everyone then becomes aware of everyone else as one mind.

Says Hubatz Men, a young postmodern, contemporary Mayan who gives lectures through the southwest, "Zuvuya is the circuit by which everything returns to itself. Everything is the memory of itself."

Definition and meaning of Mesoamerica

Mesoamerica - [World History]

Mesoamerica includes Mexico and Central America. Sedentary agriculture in the Western Hemisphere developed here and in Peru in South America. This is significant because the cultivation of foodstuffs such as corn ensured a stable supply of food and encouraged groups of people to settle permanently instead of wandering in search of food as nomadic tribes did. This contributed to the rise of civilizations which sustained themselves through their food production and wielded control over less stable societies. Ancient civilizations in the area included the Mayan which extended over a broad region, built monumental architecture, and developed a language, a system of mathematics, and a religion. The Aztec, a nomadic tribe, pushed into the zone of sedentary agriculture and established an empire on the shores of Lake Texcoco after 1325 A.D.
