Tzolkin Notes – EVOLUTIONARY SHIFT 2011
ORIGIN OF THE TZOLKIN COUNT OF DAYS
Many have written
and hypothesized about this but no definitive answer has appeared. Perhaps Tony
Shearer in Beneath the Moon and Under the Sun says it best:
“A story was told to the Spaniards shortly
after the conquest in
Oaxaca
….
‘On
the day we call Tecpotl (Etznab/Flint)
a great light came from the Northeastern sky. It glowed for 4 days in the sky, then lowered itself to that rock (the rock can still be seen
at Tenochtitlan de Valle in
Oaxaca
). From the light there came a great, a very
powerful being who stood on the very top of the rock and glowed like the sun in
the sky.
There
he stood for all to see, shining day and night. Then he spoke, his voice was
like thunder, booming across the valley.
Our
old men and women, the astronomers and astrologists, could understand them and
he could understand them.
He
(the Solar Beam) told us how to pray and fixed for us days of fast and days of
feasting. He then balanced the “Book of days” (Sacred Calendar) and left,
vowing that he would always watch down on us, his beloved people.’”
The Sacred Calendar,
the Tzolkin, was created by combining the 20 sacred
glyphs with
13 magic numbers. 13 x 20 = 260.
According to the Mesoamericans
of Mexico and
Central
America
, their
total concept of life revolved around the Sacred Calendar and life was viewed
as a great ceremony.
This ceremony continues today as we follow the Sacred
Calendar and dance to the
rhythm of the cycles of the most Sacred Drum.
TZOLKIN MEASURES SACRED TIME
The Tzolkin Count of days measures sacred time. It is not based
on the measure of the movement of the Earth around the Sun but rather the
unique Sacred Energy created by each combination of 20 Day Glyphs and 13 Magic
Numbers. These rounds or cycles of 260 days (kin) are endlessly repeating
likened to the heartbeat of the Universe. As Dr. Carl Calleman so succinctly states in The Mayan
Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness: “The tzolkin is
really a filtration pattern of divine light. This pattern exists in a realm
beyond time, in the mind of God, as it were. The tzolkin by itself is thus a pattern for the unfolding of creative energy rather than a
calendar.”
According to the
Ancient Greeks, there are two types of time: Chronos and Kairos. Chronos is
chronological or sequential time, a quantitative measurement. A good example is
the Gregorian Calendar. Kairos is a qualitative measurement - the time in between or the time as the actual moment
or the NOW. Kairos is the time when you honor the
sacredness of the moment.
Staying in Kairos
time and being aware of the day’s (Tzolkin) energy
opens your reality
to synchronicities, miracles and magic.
Today is 13 Ahau, the 260th day of this Tzolkin. Tomorrow, 1 Imix begins a new Tzolkin round. The energies surrounding 13 are holy – co-creation, unconditional love,
and the culmination of spiritual enlightenment. Likewise are the energies
surrounding Ahau – sun, flower, light lord,
enlightenment, ascension, ancestor, unconditional love and awareness of co-creation. 13 Ahau feels like
completion coupled with the feeling of powerful light energy moving creation
forward.
UPCOMING DATES
On
May 27,
2010
, 1 Imix, there will be only two more Tzolkin rounds
(260 days each = 520 days) before the evolutionary shift of
October
28, 2011
.
Tzolkin Start Date: 1 Imix (Gregorian
May 27, 2010
)
Conscious Convergence:
13 Eb and 1 Ben (
July 17-18, 2010
)
Seventh Day of the
Galactic Underworld Begins 4 Ahau (
November
2, 2010
)
Ends: 13 Ahau (Gregorian
February
10, 2011
)
Tzolkin Start Date: 1 Imix (Gregorian
February 11, 2011
)
Ends: 13 Ahau (Gregorian
October
28, 2011
)
October 28, 2011
marks the completion date of the Nine Levels
of Evolutionary Consciousness according to Dr. Calleman (www.calleman.com).
Humanity present now
has chosen to be witnesses and participants in this Universal Shift
of
Evolution. The promotion of fear and anxiety surrounding 2012 is the complete
opposite of the emotions that we will be feeling. The evolutionary wave of
completion will allow humanity to enter a Golden Age of unity, love and peace. We feel that the Sacred Calendar, Tzolkin Count of Days, will continue as a galactic constant
and will
serve as a base for grounding as we explore our new awareness.
Welcome to the Evolution.
In Lak’ech,
