The Mayan Calendar

Each Cycle or Age has its own dominant paradigm or point of view. As you move up through the 9 Cycles, new perspectives and new ways of being arise.
This new perspective starts to show up in the world, but it isn't an immediate switch from the old way of doing things to the new way.
It takes time, and a process of transition, for a new understanding to gain prominence.
The Tipping Point
The quantum physics revolution is a perfect example. We've known since the 1950's that matter isn't solid, and reality is nothing like we've imagined. Yet for the most part, our world continues to go along believing in the old materialistic ways...
- "Reality" is what can be proven with the senses.
- Medicine sees the body as a machine with unconnected parts.
- The Earth is dead, and humans are the pinnacle of evolution.
- And so on...
Yet, as we progress, the old perspective becomes more and more marginalised. People begin to talk about things in a new way. Then people begin to act in a new way. Finally (we're not there yet), the tipping point is reached -- the old way is as disregarded as the once unshakeable "knowledge" that the Earth was flat.
And that process is what the 13 days and nights of the Mayan Calendar describe.
The "Days" are times when consciousness expands, new perspectives arise -- times of fresh beginnings.
The "Nights" are times when the new consciousness is applied, new procedures initiated, and old ways (usually forcefully) overthrown.
And each of these 13 periods is characterised by specific circumstances.
Here's a breakdown of each of the 13 Days And Nights of the Mayan Calendar, and the specific transformation that occurs in each.
The 13 Days and Nights of the Mayan Calendar

- The Seventh Day
A period of illumination -- new perspectives arise. Beginnings. Seeds are planted; energy begins to flow in a new pattern or paradigm.
A period of darkness, rest. Integration. The new pattern begins to germinate within the dark subconscious of mind.
The second period of illumination. Dual paradigms, the old and the new, overlap -- both can be seen. In history, a time of turmoil, as the old ways (status quo) try to repress the new.
(This is where we are as of April 20, 2011.)
The second period of darkness. Followers of the two different paradigms battle for supremacy. Historically, very violent eras.
The third period of illumination. The new paradigm begins to spread deep and wide, beginning to show up in the world as new methods of doing things, new ways of perception. The new pattern begins to overtake the old, as fables, falsehoods, and failures expose the weakness of the past system.
The third period of darkness. The fledgling perspective of the new paradigm is refined, and the earlier, simplistic aspects fall away. The old system is thrown over, usually by force.
The fourth period of illumination. The new pattern becomes stronger and goes deeper into consciousness. A period of expansion, as the new paradigm takes form in the world. New corollaries emerge, as the new perspective takes precedence.
The fourth period of darkness. Healing the pain of the transition and the death of the old ways. Rebuilding after the destruction of the old status quo systems. The new, more healthy paradigm is truly established now.
The fifth period of illumination, and point of greatest radiance in the Cycle. The new paradigm flourishes, sending information about wonderful new knowledge out into the world. The highest possibilities for this Cycle are attainable.
The fifth period of darkness, and the nadir of darkness. This is a time of major hardships, cultural collapse, horrific violence. However, it is also a little like gestation: within the dark, something new awaits. From the death, new life will arise.
The sixth period of illumination, a time of Enlightenment. The flowering of the paradigm into stunning new insights and newer perspectives... in fact, sowing the seeds for the new Cycle of evolution to follow.
The sixth period of darkness. The paradigm has reached its peak and begins to dry and wither, like wheat in autumn. Typically a time of war and violent conflict.
The seventh period of illumination. There is a sense of openness, of being ready for something new. The best of the paradigm has been harvested, and it's time for a new level of consciousness to arise.
From the Seventh Day of the Mayan Calendar, we proceed directly to the First Day... from Light to Light. This demonstrates that whole process, even though it contains much dismantling and death, is finally and entirely a process of Creation.
The Mayan Calendar is an illustration of this process.
That's what makes it so fascinating... How did the Mayans ascertain such detailed information, that accurately predicts the ancient past (of which they could have known nothing) to the far future (which they are scarcely more likely to know)?
We may never know the answer to this question. But at least we finally know enough to appreciate their wisdom at last.
And just in time!
With Bright Blessings,
