Thank you for you interest and support during Dr Calleman's stay in Vancouver. The two lectures and workshops went well, and Dr Calleman should now be in Sweden until after Christmas. Hopefully, he will make a return visit to Vancouver sometime in 2008. I will keep you informed. I will also send you notices of future events associated with
. Of note, the CSQ spring conference is scheduled for April 11, 12, 13 at Harrison Hot Springs. Details soon.
I received the following message from the Questers e mail discussion group. Hope you like it.
A letter from Celesttina, Nelson, BC.
Today November 19, 2007 is the first day of the FiFth Night on the Mayan Calendar.
I feel an inner prompting to send out this email and share my insights, partially from what I have perceived from the work of Ian Lungold/Johan Calleman. As well I attended a three hour ‘webinar’ online on Saturday, November 17 with Andi Mac and Jag of www.mayancalendarcode.com.
By the way, my interest of the Mayan Calendar started in the early 90’s. I got involved with the Dreamspell interpretation of Jose Arguelles and subsequently went on my first pilgrimage with Aluna Joy Yaxk’in, a student of Mayan Elder Hunbatz Men. That first pilgrimage was termed ‘the Reactivation of the Pyramids’ which took place on the Spring Equinox at Chitzen Itza in 1995. We also traveled to Uxmal, Palenque and other sites being led in ceremony by Hunbatz Men.
In 1998 I traveled with Aluna to Guatemala and Honduras for ceremony at Mayan sites with Mayan ‘elders’ who were using the traditional ‘long count’ version of the Mayan Calendar which later was spread into the Western and Northern world by Johan Calleman and Ian Lungold.
I am a watcher of the calendar ... there is much of it that resonates with me. I usually observe/honor the beginning of the cycles, these days I pay more attention to the long count even though I am still aware of the Dreamspell. I feel a resonance in the larger cycles and continue to ‘school’ myself. You need to understand that there are many calendars within the ‘Mayan Calendar’. Like cogs in a wheel each offers different focus, and different cycles of the Whole.
As I have shared this information with a few friends I have allowed my own interpretation to weave in as well. I am writing what I feel called to write down in light of this cycle of creation/evolution. As well, during the Webinar on Saturday the Hathor message via Tom Kenyon arrived in my computer inbox, I saw this as very synchronistic. Parts of this message filter through as well in my writings today.
Much of what I am writing about we have heard in different ways. Question all of it. Feel for what resonates with you.
So ... here we are leaving the 5th Day, this last 360 days of the Mayan cycle ... it was said last year as we stepped into the 5th Day that it would be a year of experiencing an influx of energies of higher vibration. I personally experienced this in various events including ‘Fire the Grid’ which took place last summer. We are now moving into the next 360 days termed the 5th Night. In the cycle of 13 (1st day, 1st night, 2nd day, 2nd night etc...until the 7th Day) the 5th Day and 5th Night are the ‘breaking points’ of the cycle., the tip of the iceberg readying for the next evolutionary step in Creation. To some the 5th Day and Night are referred to as the ‘Budding’ cycles. The buds that appear are needing to BE to become potent for blooming during the 6th Day, the ‘Flowering’ in November 2008. At present outer layers are falling away, giving way to what holds the most potent/potential for this new flowering next year.
To name a few of the events of 5th Day and 5th Night in previous cycles ... the Ice Age (160,000 year cycle), Dark Ages (394 year cycle) and WWII/the Depression (19.7 year cycle). As each Underworld takes place in shorter duration of time, the Galactic Cycle which we are now in, the 5th Night Cycle is 360 days long ... so it won’t last as long.
Again we are in a time of great TRANSITION. As in human ‘birthing’ ‘transition’ can be the most intense and challenging time. (I have had the honor to witness 6 births as a breathing coach and ‘gate keeper’).... During transition, the baby’s head has ‘dropped’ and is waiting at the top of the birth canal, waiting for the cervix to dilate to accomodate the baby. The baby cannot go back into the womb or move downward, it must remain in this intense place of ‘transition’. It is the most challenging for the ‘mother’ as the waves of energy build, dilating the cervix. The best advice is to breathe and to BE present in the moment... (there will come a time for appropriate pushing ... but not yet).
So here we are in our birthing process... it is best to:
For many these challenging times can evoke fear, whether this relates to money, or other security issues.
Feel and accept the moment, opening to love and gratitude as best one can.
And we cannot see..... much of what is being birthed is still in the dark, in the mystery.
Fear mode can make folks react by following blindly..... as in the case of following charismatic leaders in the 30’s such as Hitler.
Stay AWAKE and FEEL what is the truth for you. Trust your body and your inner senses.
We are in a process so remember that chaos preceeds creation.
What is happening IS part of the cycle. As in the Hopi Prophecy ‘the river has a destination’.
Do whatever you need to do to stay connected to SOURCE/HEAVENS/GREAT SPIRIT
Stay connected to your Holy Self.
Stay connected to Mother Earth.
Stay connected to your Friends, Family and Community.
It is being shown more and more that when extreme events happen, people don’t really panic, they rally ... this is good to be aware of.
Stay connected within yourself. There could be an ‘explosion of experts’ stepping forth ... it is tempting to want others to give you answers. Learn to connect to your inner sense of what is being called forth, your inner guidance and intuition. (question even this writing). Feel for the resonance within you.
4. KEEP LIFE FORCE STRONG
Do whatever YOU need to keep physically, emotionally, spiritually STRONG.
It may be well to redefine what Strong is.
Struggle, stress and exhaustion make us susceptible to disease and imbalance.
Resistance IS a part of the process to help to make us strong..... and yet when taken to the extreme takes us out of the flow.
Pay attention to what nourishes you on all levels and continue to make your life about that, by this I mean nourishment on a deep level of your being.
Do what you need to maintain a high ‘vibration’ .... from the music you listen to, to the food/elixirs you ingest, the activities that you engage in etc. .... We are actually learning how to hold a high vibration ‘in the face of challenge’, staying centered in the eye of the hurricane so to speak.
This includes forgiveness and gratitude!
‘We also encourage you to live consciously in appreciation or gratitude, for the subtle harmonics created by these emotional states will act as protectors for you, and lift you up even if the world takes a downward spiral. Each of you has several pathways that will lead you to the still-point of your own consciousness, to the realization of your own divinity; and from that place you can more easily detach yourself from the events that unfold around you. You will have learned to transcend the world. One of your great spiritual teachers once said, "Be in the world, but not of the world." This is very good advice in the coming times which are now upon
you.’ (the Hathors, via Tom Kenyon).
Remember that what is going on outside is going on inside.
Embrace your inner wars, your inner untruths.
As an ‘artist’, look at the relationships within all.
See if you can rise above and see a bigger picture.
Question the mainstream MEDIA which usually is about survival mind. In survival mind we can’t see inwardly and outwardly at the same time. Not seeing both at the same time produces disconnect. Again CONNECTION is so important as we are open to live in ONENESS.
The ability to EVOLVE is within us. We have what we need.
If the mind holds the belief that you need more and that money equates to safety and survival, look again.
Meditate on the reality of ‘I need more money to stay safe and secure’ and shift this to an affirmation which equates true value around safety and security.
In the Webinar program that I attended on Saturday at mayancalendar.com , there was more info on new paradigms of Science . This included the paradigm shift of looking at the Sun as being an Electric Sun not a Thermonuclear Sun. There was also a presentation around the Source of Oil, different from popular belief. At present I don’t feel qualified to address either of these issues and will continue to school myself.... (I am needing to understand this more to see where there is resonance for me.)
The Midpoint Celebration of the Fifth Night is May 16, 2008. I would love to be part of a community event. If you’re interested let’s keep in touch. Last year Francoise Collinge, Michael O’Connor and myself created an evening gathering.
The next cycle after the Fifth Night is the Sixth Day, starting November 12, 2008 in which the flower blossoms (also referred to and related to as The Renaissance). This means we are preparing for a lot of external growth. So it is time to be inward to allow the potency needed for the flowering. Stay centered, stay true to self, stay connected to community and the environment. Open to the larger picture. Practice reciprocity and random acts of kindness for balance and connection. It looks like it could be challenging and we HAVE the ability to evolve, we don’t have to figure it out. Trust and allow. Find the stillpoint within.
Personally I am looking at the question ‘Is it possible we can thrive during this time?’
We are in the the mystery. Let’s continue to dance, sing, and play in conscious celebration. As it is written in the Hopi Prophecy “This could be a good time! “
