The End of the Mayan Calendar

Nine cycles characterize the Mayan Calendar – What is the 9^th of these, the Universal Underworld, really about?  First, it is built on the mature foundation of the 8^th (the Galactic Underworld):   a worldwide cybercommons[i] now headed by Facebook and Twitter which a large chunk of humanity unwittingly manifested from 1999 to 2011.  Second, it reflects qualities of the frontal lobes such as creativity, playfulness, compassion, civilized behavior, and service for the greater good in contrast to the posterior lobes’ instinctual focus on individual (and species) survival leading to sexual impulses, aggression, dominance, fear, territoriality and selfishness. 

Being a unitary Underworld, the Universal upon arriving at its 7^th DAY (October 11– 28, 2011) will resolve the apparent conflict of interest in living for ourselves and living for others by balancing this last yin/yang coupling.  To the degree that focus on personal survival during tumultuous times has been ramped up starting with the March 11 Japan earthquake.tsunami.nuclear breach, also surrendering to a higher wisdom/truth in order to transcend the chaotic times has been advertised heavily.  The difference is we know that electric generators, stored food, water purifiers, gold & silver and guns ‘n’ ammo have proven maintenance value, but the voice of God, ETs, channelers, native wisemen or spiritual teachers are all suspect to our rational minds…until our intuition validates.  How many trust their intuition? Or acknowledge it?  That small, still voice which isn’t necessarily ours:

¹¹And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:

¹²And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

1 Kings 19

Approaching the end of the entire Mayan Calendar we will increasingly conclude that we want both the desires of our heart AND a beautiful world for all of its inhabitants.  The entrenched dualistic either-or programming from the National Underworld (my Truth vs. yours) and Galactic (fighting oppressive authorities/systems) will bow to a glimpse that every good is possible on Earth when the truth of creation is revealed – the apocalypse.  If we can share an unlimited virtual world then perhaps the ‘real’ one can be jointly sustained also.  I think it premature to surrender to the Divine Will until we come to terms (without denial) that even the most generous of us still want things, people and situations strictly for ourselves which might bring us into conflict with others.

It could be that this past 5^th DAY[ii] opened our eyes to realizing that reliance on 1s and 0s in a computer or paper bills in our pockets could never satisfy our security needs (whether physical or egoic), but the needs persist.  Now during the 5^th NIGHT we look elsewhere…still swiping the plastic until it fails us.
