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.
