El Quetzal Issue 12: 1 Cib
 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Trecena of 1 Cib
| The Trecena of Wisdom The sixteenth trecena of the Tzolk’in is ruled by Cib, the Owl. Cib represents the wisdom and the souls of our ancestors, of the ancients that came before us both in our own bloodline and in the human family now inhabiting the Earth. The energy of Cib embodies our connection to the long history of life through evolution, through the millions of years that have elapsed and blessed our planet with the diversity of life we see today, and the sanctity of consciousness, free will and love. In our fast-paced, stressed society where being busy and having a career is prized above health and above family, where success is defined by material wealth and personal status, there is little room for what truly matters. But we can make that room, re-arrange our schedules, redefine and re-establish our priorities. We have a choice, regardless of what our bosses, our colleagues, our peers—and yes, even our own families—may say. The only thing keeping us from making the choices we want to make, deep down, is fear, uncertainty, and the force of habit. This is why connecting to the paths your ancestors have walked is so important, and so healthy. Cleanse your karma, enjoy the present moment and nurture your desired future. Reconnect and you will understand where you come from. Join us on the daily journeys of each Trecena, online at Facebook and Twitter. New Online Mayan Calendar Class The International Metaphysical University, a nonprofit online university dedicated to the “exploration of consciousness”, has introduced "Understanding the Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness", a new 12-week course with Dr. Carl Calleman, the renowned Mayan Calendar author and scholar. To understand profound questions, such as what the 2012 end date of the current Long Count cycle means, or the inner energies of the Sacred Tzolk’in, one must delve deep into the Mayan Calendar and the vast array of information it has to offer. Now, for the first time ever, students can learn about the Mayan Calendar from Dr. Carl Johan Calleman online. You will be able to interact directly with Dr. Calleman, and with other students of the Calendar without having to travel all across the country to a seminar. This course is particularly relevant for present times considering the announcement of the “Conscious Convergence” which is taking place on July 17 and 18, 2010, and which is sponsored by Dr. Calleman. This is the kind of knowledge that can change both your life and the world! This 3-credit class can be taken on its own or as part of a degree. It is offered in open enrollment so students can sign up today. To learn more about this class or the IMU in general, go to www.intermetu.com. (Announcement courtesy of the IMU.

Article: A Dualist Convergence 11000 years ago?
Dear Friends,
It is rare that there are archeological discoveries that truly rewrite
history, but I think the 11,000 years old one in Göbekli Tepe does:
http://www.calleman.com/content/articles/Dualist_Convergence.htm
It also seems as if this discovery in the nick of time sheds some extra light on the Conscious Convergence that may help to put this coming event in perspective.

For all those that have read The Purposeful Universe and seen how the Golden Ratio is generated by the Tree of Life it should also be clear that what we see here is the world's oldest known man-made representation of the Golden Ratio. From the broader perspective of the Mayan calendar this may seem like a curiosity, but it also adds to a picture that makes sense any way you slice it.
Sincerely,
Carl Johan
Sincerely,

Intention Crystals are alive with positive energy and powerful intentions! Fascinating on their own, each type of crystal holds energetic properties which influence the vibrations in their vicinity.

The Film
Mayan prophecy says: The Center will unite the Eagle of the North with the Condor of the South ... The center is the Maya people of Central America represented by a Quetzal bird. To the North of the Maya lies the North American Eagle, and to the South of the Maya lies the South American Condor. Wandering Wolf has spent the better part of his time as an Elder seeing that the unification of these cultures takes place.

El Quetzal Issue 11: 1 Akb'al
 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Trecena of 1 Akb'al
| The Trecena of Potential The fifteenth trecena of the Sacred Tzolk’in is ruled by Akb’al. This is the realm of Night, of the great deep Void where nothing yet exists and all potential dwells. This is the place where all things begin, where all roads commence, where all thoughts germinate. Honor the sacred seed within your soul, sink into the profound, pregnant silence and release all earthly stresses, pressures and deadlines. For here, time has no sway. Here, all simply is and will be. Here, the core cells of nascent life of everything shimmer, bathed in an inner peace that has neither beginning nor end, holding within the possibility to become anything and to be everything. It is really a matter of choice, of acceptance, and of letting go. Choose which path you will follow, which direction in life to take, which aspects of your soul to let bloom. Accept those choices and the responsibilities that come therewith. Accept them fully and completely. Respect them and respect yourself. Finally, let go of toxic emotions, desires and attitudes that would fracture the path you have chosen to walk upon. Remember that fulfilling your potential is both the toughest and the simplest thing you’ll ever do. Join us on the daily journeys of each Trecena, online at Facebook and Twitter. John Payne's Mayan Calendar Story In the last issue of El Quetzal, we announced a series of personal stories from you, our readers. With this issue, we are delighted to present the first in this series, a short narrative from one of the most active members of our community, John Payne. Enjoy! My Mayan day sign is 4 Cib. 4 is the tone for Stability, the 4 directions of orientation—height, length, depth, and breadth; and Cib is the sun sign for Wisdom, the Owl. I pay specific attention to the direction of depth. Depth is the 4th dimension and level of consciousness of the Mayan Calendar. I consider that to be a highly visionary direction. My life and my thoughts are very visionary in plan and in practice. I try to look forward into the future and bring it back to today and plan my life in balance with what I have seen in the future. I look for the right path to follow to get me there with the guidance of my day sign—stability and the Owl. It has been 2-3 years that I have studied and followed the Mayan Calendar in depth. My understanding of the 4th dimension has allowed me so much more freedom in my thought processes. It has now given me a path in which to follow to find the 5th dimension and level of consciousness—my center point. It is my center point that has eluded me for some many years, and now that I have the Mayan Calendar to guide me I feel I will find this point very soon. I certainly strive to do that daily by practicing being a visionary. My day sign, and each daily energy sign, combine to show me the path. I find that the Mayan Calendar allows me to be very introspective, and understanding not only of myself but those around me, and those around them. My communication levels have increased substantially and substantively, and with great humility, with everyone. —John Payne, Chicago, Illinois, United States Interested in submitting a Mayan Calendar story of your own to El Quetzal? Here are the basic requirements: the limit is 250 words; the stories should be in good English (please check for spelling and grammar) and should have a single, focused point. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
