The Mayan Calendar: As Explained by Random Internet Person (me)

The Mayan Calendar is basically a calendar for the collective consciousness.

3 Calendars that work together (although they had as many as 17!)

Haab (Earth) – 365 day calendar. Only used for bookkeeping and records (IE – taxes - yet this is the one we cherish!)

Tzolkin (Count of Days) – 13 intentions, 20 aspects - 260 day calendar – personal/astrological calendar – all Mayan 1^st names are the day’s intention/aspect. Every day was a sacred event and held a unique intention/aspect combination to be celebrated.

Tun (Divine/Prophetic) – 360 day calendar. Every 52 revolutions meets up with original point on Tzolkin calendar. At this point, all coals and all sparks in civilization were put out, and all debts were absolved. At age 51 and ¾, Mayan and Native American cultures regarded their members as “elders” because they had lived through the entire cycle.

INTERESTING NOTE - Leviticus 25:10 "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."  A portion of this verse is inscribed on the Liberty Bell - yet I don't remember my debts being absolved every 50ish years... wonder why the Bell cracked? ;P

13 cycles (or intentions) between each consciousness movement. 7 days, 6 nights (Biblical significance?) At each cycle, important events for consciousness occur. Days and nights can still represent ‘negative’ events – for the consciousness as a whole to learn.

9 total movements, from the beginning of the Universe, 16.4BYA to the “end”, October 28^th, 2011. (popularized as December 21^st, 2012 by a different possible start date) – note this is not the end of the universe, but most probably a monumental event in history.

The 5^th night is always drastic – but notice how much better it gets in the next movement. Multi-million years of meteor bombardment, 97% of life extinction, the ice age, Neanderthal extinction, Rome falling, WW2 and what’s next? Well it won’t be as bad as WW2! Hopefully we learn from our mistakes and never wage war again
