The Mayan Calendar
Prophecy – The Sun – The Millennium
And Man’s Future

10-18-99 RICK MARTIN

Why would I be presenting information at this time about the Mayan Calendar, and what is the relevance to these transitional times in which we find ourselves?

After reading materials presented by David Wilcock, and after reading, listening to, and speaking with Native American Robert Ghost Wolf, it becomes very clear that the Mayan Calendar and the Mayan prophecies are IMMEDIATELY relevant to this very specific time in history. We are living through the period of the Seven Thunders. It is a time of planetary transition on an unprecedented scale, a time of dimensional change, spiritual turmoil, self-examination and metamorphosis, as well as a time for separating the wheat from the chaff in the literal rather than metaphorical sense. It is a time of upheavals, geophysical as well as personal. The full extent and urgency of this information will become readily apparent as you read on.

As stated in the last edition of The SPECTRUM, in the article titled "Sunspot Cycles: Their Profound Effect On Man & Planet Earth", the great Solar-Cycle is upon us, and this coincides directly with Mayan prophecy.

With this in mind, I have chosen to present a compilation from several sources on the subject, including another chapter from David Wilcock’s book Convergence, titled "The Amazing Synchronicity of Chatelain’s Mayan Calendar". Further, I hope to speak directly with Robert Ghost Wolf about these and other urgent matters for an upcoming edition of The SPECTRUM. In the meantime, I will present materials from Ghost Wolf’s web site which may be found at: www.wolflodge.org, and is reprinted here with permission.

Prior to presenting this immediately urgent information, however, as much needed background information, let me first share with you an article written by John Major Jenkins, also reprinted with permission.

Mayan Cosmogenesis: Cosmic Mother Gives Birth

© April 1995. John Major Jenkins.

Introduction

In recent years, several books have been published in England with, especially in the U.K., a good deal of success. Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert wrote The Orion Mystery (1992) and, in addition to becoming brief media celebs, turned Egyptology on its head. Graham Hancock produced Fingerprints of the Gods (1995) and injected some old ideas about Atlantis rising with some intriguing new perspectives. Most recently, Adrian Gilbert with Maurice Cotterell published the disappointing Mayan Prophecies which presumed to tell us why cataclysm will occur in A.D. 2012. Hancock and Bauval are presently working together on another book about Egypt. Gilbert, Bauval, Cotterell and Hancock pursue the often unrewarding path of independent research, striving to present compelling new ideas which tenured academes are too thick-skulled to acknowledge. Like England’s other Fab Four, these independent researchers say we want a revolution, and offer us one. They have all at some point struggled to identify what is so astronomically special about the opening of the new millennium. They’ve discussed sunspots and pole shifts, magnetic field reversals and the movements of Orion, but their solutions are in disagreement and are generally unsatisfying. They have all narrowly missed finding the "key."

As pin-pointed by the end-date of the Mayan Calendar, the turn of our millennium is attended by a rare celestial alignment between the sun and our galaxy, one that has been slowly converging for thousands of years. The winter solstice sun will align with the Milky Way in A.D. 2012. Moutain Astrologer published my article on this topic in their December 1994 issue. Since then, I’ve written a 110-page monograph detailing evidence for my thesis. Without mincing words, I feel that this simple alignment is the answer which all those writers sought. The irony, perhaps, is that the impending solstice-galaxy alignment was first mentioned back in 1969 in Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend’s groundbreaking book Hamlet’s Mill. My own research starts where they left off. It has taken 25 years to clarify how the Maya are involved in all this and to understand how the alignment marks the beginning of a new precessional cycle in humanity’s spiritual and cultural work. The alignment which I believe is so critical to understanding Mayan creation mythology as well as our own impending shift also has the benefit of being a straightforward fact of astronomy; it’s not the product of a labyrinth of convoluted speculations. What I offer is a synthesis of two simple facts: the astronomical alignment itself (which targets the opening of the new millennium) and the established end-date of the Mayan Calendar in A.D. 2012.

The ancient Maya apparently understood that the future alignment would have apocalyptic effects, and designed their World Age mythology to remind us of something essential. Myth, legend, or ancient message, whatever it is, clearly, it means we must all remember where we come from, where everything comes from: Mother.

What follows is a brief synopsis of the author’s research into the Mayan Calendar and Mayan Creation Mythology. An exciting breakthrough is described which is so basic, yet so startling, that many Mayan scholars have thus far refused to acknowledge it.

John Major Jenkins is an independent student of Mayan Time. He is the author of articles for Mountain Astrologer, Iron Feather Journal, Zeitgeist, Scenezine, World Explorer Magazine, The Borderlands Journal, and five books on Mayan cosmology including Tzolkin: Visionary Perspectives and Calendar Studies (1994) and the forthcoming The Center of Mayan Time (1995)

We are living today in the Mayan end times. The Great Cycle of the Mayan Long Count calendar ends on the winter solstice of 2012 A.D., less than 18 years from now. Following Mayan concepts of cyclic time and World Age transitions, this is as much about beginnings as endings. In fact, it was considered by the ancient Maya to signify the Creation of a new World Age.

End of the Mayan Great Cycle: December 21^st, 2012 A.D.

Scholars today are recognizing that Mayan mythology is intimately related to the celestial movements of stars, the Milky Way and certain constellations. The sources of Mayan mythology are found in the sky, and the timetable of Creation Day is pinpointed by the end date of the Mayan Great Cycle. My research into the nature of this date reveals that a rare celestial alignment culminates on it. Generally speaking, what occurs is an alignment between the galactic and solar planes. Specifically, the winter solstice sun will conjunct the Milky Way, which is the edge of our spinning galaxy as viewed from earth. Furthermore, the place where the sun meets the Milky Way is where the "dark-rift" in the Milky Way is - a black ridge along the Milky Way caused by interstellar dust clouds (See Diagram 1). This is a feature of the Milky Way anyone can see on a clear midsummer’s night, away from the light pollution of industrial society. At dawn on the winter solstice of A.D. 2012, the sun will be right in this dark-rift, and the orientation is such that the Milky Way rims the horizon at all points around. Thus, the Milky Way "sits" on the earth, touching it at all points around, opening up the cosmic sky portal. The galactic and solar planes are thus aligned. "Sky portal" is just a term to describe the "opened sky" scenario apparent when the Milky Way rims the horizon. This is not to be confused with the "dark-rift" itself.

In Mayan myth, the winter solstice sun corresponds to the deity One Hunahpu, also known as First Father. The Mayan Sacred Book, the Popol Vuh, is all about setting the stage so that the Hero Twins’ father (One Hunahpu) can be reborn, thus beginning a new World Age. The dark rift has many mythic identities: it is the Black Road; it is the xibalba be (the Road to the Underworld); it is a crevice in the branches of the cosmic tree (the Milky Way); it is the mouth of the Cosmic Monster (often portrayed as a frog, jaguar or snake with tree-like features); it is the birth canal of the Cosmic Mother. Overall, the dark-rift is best understood as the birth canal of the Cosmic Mother, who we may call First Mother, to complement First Father. In this way we can trace how these various metaphors are found in Mayan Creation Mythology. And the date of this alignment is, again, the end date of the 13-baktun Great Cycle - a cycle of approximately 5125 years. This all suggests that the ancient Maya were aware of the impending alignment and considered it to be of such importance to be a major transition point, the Creation of a new World Age. In mythological terms, this event is about the union of First Father with First Mother or, more accurately, the birth of First Father (the winter solstice sun - the new World Age ruler) from First Mother (the dark-rift in the Milky Way). The headline appropriate for the upcoming event is:

"Cosmic Mother Gives Birth to The First God."

World Ages: Precession of the Stellar Frame

The slow process by which the winter solstice sun comes to conjoin the dark-rift in the Milky Way is a function of a phenomenon known as the precession of the equinoxes. This involves the slow wobbling of the earth’s axis, which causes the stellar frame to slowly shift. To observers on earth, it causes the position of the winter solstice sun to slowly move in relation to celestial background features such as the Milky Way. A full cycle is completed in roughly 26,000 years. Approximately 2100 years ago, when both the Long Count calendar and the Popol Vuh were devised by the early Maya, the dark-rift in the Milky Way could be observed some 30 degrees above the dawning winter solstice sun (See Diagram 2). When these early skywatchers discovered precession, they realized that every winter solstice the cosmic birth canal was moving closer and closer to the dawning sun. The winter solstice sun was called the First Sun, the First Lord or First Father, because it is the first day of the year, the beginning of the sun’s annual rebirth into increasing daylight. They calibrated the process, and fixed their Creation Mythology to the future alignment as described.

Monuments from the early Mayan site of Izapa clearly portray, by way of mythological iconography, the anticipated astronomical alignment of the Long Count end date (See Diagram 3). In this way, the Long Count calendar and Popol Vuh Creation Mythology (portrayed on Izapan monuments and elsewhere) work together to describe the future astronomical alignment. Furthermore, scholars believe that Izapa, an unassuming early-Maya cultural center near the Guatemalan border in Mexico, is where both the Long Count calendar and the Popol Vuh myth originate.

Ancient Cosmology Points To Our Immediate Future

Based upon these simple facts, ancient skywatchers in Mesoamerica were apparently aware of a subtle celestial process, the precession of the equinoxes. Knowledge of that process, and the fact that a major alignment in that process culminates at the end of their Great Cycle, strongly suggest a cosmological understanding which modern scholars have yet to explore. While today the conjunction is hidden behind the rays of the solstice sun, to early skywatchers the future convergence would have been the focus of intense calendar calculations and eschatological myth-making. As it says in the Popol Vuh: "by sheer genius, by sheer accuity, they got it done." People interested today in the scope of ancient Mesoamerican knowledge inescapably must incorporate these recent findings into their thoughts. In doing so, we can better appreciate the profound scale of the cosmological understanding possessed by ancient New World cultures, to which millions of present-day Indians in Middle America are heir.

The Fever: Millennial or Mayan?

Understanding this aspect of Mayan cosmogenesis may also help us understand our own impending millennial milestone. What is going on in the world today? Is this alignment having some kind of influence? The precession of the equinoxes is, after all, primarily an earth rhythm. Whether we call it Mayan or millennial, we are living today in the shadows of a rare celestial juncture which parallels the increasing interest in "New World Orders", "post-historic" thinking, and a major shift in world economic structure and what it means to be human. The Mayan myth seems to remind us that all life springs from the Great Mother. The transformation of cosmic recreation is already occurring. Perhaps we should look closely at this celestial alignment, imagine its meanings, and determine what this transformational shift means for future humanity. For the ancient Maya, on the far-future Creation Day which for us arrives soon, First Mother and First Father join forces to engender a new World Age.

Introducing Robert Ghost Wolf

Before we launch into our presentation of Ghost Wolf’s critical and urgent information, it becomes important to know who this man is, where he has traveled (physically and spiritually), and what his nature has become. With this in mind, let’s move into a world that will be unfamiliar to many, yet will also feel like home to those who have walked this journey toward truth and understanding and service to the Light.

ROBERT GHOST WOLF

We would like to take the opportunity to introduce you to Robert Ghost Wolf. Perhaps we could say re-introduce you to Robert Ghost Wolf. Ghost Wolf from 1990-96 has been a journalist and publisher of the Ramtha material, while with Indelible Ink. He co-published UFO's and the Nature of Reality, Last Waltz of the Tyrants, and Financial Freedom which are now enjoying the success of being published in five languages, and distributed world wide.

Robert is an accomplished artist and author who enjoys a unique passion for life and possess many gifts that have earned him recognition with many indigenous tribes in both North and South America as a Spiritual Healer and Ceremonial Leader. He has also recognized as a leading Archeologist with his many discoveries to his credit including the discovery of a Sphinx in Colorado, and the discovery of the now Famous Miami Circle where he and Richard Hoagland brought the eyes of the world and of the nation to what is now being paraphrased as 'The American Stonehenge" and were even mentioned in the United Nations special report on the importance of preserving Sacred Sites. He is the Founder of Holding Sacred Ground, an organization dedicated to the preservation of ancient sites and indigenous cultures around the world.

Currently Robert is in the midst's of uncovering an incredible find in the Central US which by all indications is a hall of records showing evidence of many civilizations the were here before the current Native American tribes, and perhaps before recorded history as we have been told. Much of the evidence indicates that they have discovered ' A library of "the Lost Tribes"…… as Robert says this find is going to change everything we thought we knew.

Robert, being a multi-faceted man, continues his journalistic career publishing the WOLF REPORT, an international Bi-monthy newspaper publication who's circulation spans three continents.

Spiritual Leaders, Naturopathic Healers, cutting-edge Scientists and forward-thinking Authors, as well as Indigenous Elders from the Hopi to the Mayan who are keepers of the prophecies share their information on intimate levels in the Wolf Report. Bringing subscribers in touch with real people, the information is brought from authors living on the front-lines of todays global concerns who believe there is a way for a better life for all of us upon Planet Earth.

The first book which is based upon his personal work is entitled LAST CRY, NATIVE AMERICAN PROPHECIES, TALES OF THE END TIMES and is an international best seller, His Second Book WINDS OF CHANGE quickly followed the success of Last Cry with the revealing of the Seven Thunders Prophecies which was highly controversial and placed him on the leading edge of Prophetic Visionaries which are now being presented in the main stream media presentations. His third book newest addition is THROUGH THE EYE OF THE SHAMAN… yet another paradigm buster where he shares many of the secrets of the ancient Masters. The amazing accuracy with his predictions only serve to complement the knowledge he has been given while working intimately with indigenous leaders around the world who have recognized his special gifts for over twenty years running, and still going strong.

Robert continues to be a featured guest on many national television shows including NBC's Ancient Prophecies, Fox's Strange Universe, UFOAZ, and Arizona Today. He is a frequent guest on many national radio programs including four years running as one of the best of Art Bells' Coast-to-Coast, which commands a listening audience of over twenty million internationally.

His life continues to be a journey that is closely merged with his Native American Spirituality. He has worked with the elders and leaders of the Indigenous People from Alaska to the Yucatan for many years. Ghost Wolf himself is a Metis (Met-tay) born of mixed blood Native American and European ancestry like millions of Americans who are called by some the Ghost Children. His teachers and the elders have asked him to come forward at this time and help deliver their teachings and their ancient knowledge to the People of the World. He remains a strong and active advocate of indigenous rights and sovereignty of their culture, and their sacred sites.

In 1994 his Hopi Elders said to him, "These are the End times and the people must know the truth, share what we have taught you. There can be no more secrets now if we are to survive as a thinking species through these times." "This," they say, "must be done because the dream of humanity can only be preserved through the combined efforts of all peoples, and the joining and merging of all cultures into a oneness."

Ghost Wolf carries a unique body of knowledge that sheds a bright light on our forward movement in this time of great change and appearing chaos -- a time, perhaps, of the most dramatic changes to ever effect the course of human evolution.

Of this time he said, "As we walk with a foot in two worlds we are approaching the reality that we are about to take a giant halo leap into our foreverness. We must build bridges between peoples now. There has been enough separation. That separation has only caused confusion, and results in fear-based beliefs, which are really no more than superstition. We must reconnect them to their hearts. It is a time to come together. What will occur tomorrow depends upon what we choose today, in this moment, as our path. The Sacred Hoop -- The Holy Grail: they are one and the same. They represent the Human heart. We must simplify our lives and relearn to follow the path with heart."

Ghost Wolf has spoken throughout North and South America, and Canada. He comes wherever he is invited: Universities, Corporate Conventions, private groups, and Tribal Gatherings. He is a charismatic and powerful teacher who's presence can alter the energy of a room. When he was introduced at a recent international seminar, the director said, "Ghost Wolf is an enigma. He is perhaps one of the single most powerful individuals I have ever met. He is intensely charismatic, yet he retains a quiet humbleness in his sensitive awareness of all the levels of our personal realities. The body of knowledge with which he works is essential to the world in these times"

Perhaps it is his unique ability to deliver the Mystical to an audience of multi-leveled consciousness which is the big difference between his presentation of the ancient knowledge and the usual strictly "dry traditionally, historical, scientific, intellectual treatise" forms of presentation of divine knowledge. He has been called a Shaman and a Mystic. Surly he weaves much more than he teaches in words. He knows the histories and the sciences, and he shares that knowledge freely. But he knows something the historians, and scientists don't know and could never understand. That true wisdom is found through the heart and not the head."

As a speaker and lecturer Ghost Wolf has continues to demonstrate his strong public appeal and remains very much in public demand for personal appearances. The information he delivers in Last Cry, Winds of Change and now Through the Eye of the Shaman that has kept him on the top ten roster on the lecture circuit in the international arena. Ghost Wolf 's remarkable ability to "draw the crowd" and his continued creativity assures him a long road where he can "touch them with the Light".

What People who make a difference are saying about Robert Ghost Wolf:

Tom Gubersich, former editor Washington Post: "His work is vital to humanity. It is important the world knows about the information he delivers."

Art Bell, host of Dreamland and Coast to Coast Radio: "Extraordinary, amazing. Stay tuned." "There is always a lot more to hear from Robert Ghost Wolf."

Scott Cotamas, Former Producer of Strange Universe: "Ghost Wolf has an ability to bring a very intense weaving to a broad spectrum of knowledge that few others can."

Dr Chet Snow -Future Memory: "Ghost Wolf never ceases to surprise and amaze me."

Dannion Brinkley, Author of Saved by the Light: "Robert is a very gifted man who has a vital gift to deliver to humanity, I always enjoy working with him, and hope to do more with him in the future."

Richard C. Hoagland, Author The Monuments on Mars, and former CBS Science Advisor to Walter Cronkite: "Robert is a close friend and I am continually amazed at his sense Science of Spirit and Courage to deliver the truth, and stand up to adversity that is put out there by those who would criticize what those of us who are uncovering the truth and are actually delivering it to the public."

Lori Toye- I AM America: "Robert is one of the most important prophets of our time"

Drunvelo Melchizedek, founder of the Flower Of Life: "Ghost Wolf always has incredible knowledge to share with all of us."

Johm Hoag, Author of many books on Nostradamus: "Robert has a very keen insight into possible occurrences…he is a contemporary prophet….and visionary "

The Real World

URGENT! Message from Ghost Wolf, and the Hopi Elders

Elders on several occasions over this past year have gotten together to speak of a situation we are facing in our heavens, elders who knew how to work the energy grids. Although few in numbers it was felt that with sincerity of intent we could at least affect the imbalance of our Earth Mother and her children’s attitude to a point of minimal repair. This is a very arduous task to undertake even for any one, because Tiawa (the Sun) is a sophisticated spirit and only likes things of value.

The Elders gathered at more than one location, in both North as well as South America, places where the sacred knowledge was still in the minds of the living. There they did ceremony presenting prayers and offerings to persuade the Sun to realign its path. At the time it appeared that the offerings were accepted but this can work only to allow us a little more time.

It appears now that the Sun is out of alignment again. A lot of places are going to have very different types of weather patterns. It’ll be hot in cold places, cold in hot places; these reversals of weather will effect many things. Temperatures will rise higher, so that nothing will grow. Then they will suddenly drop or a rise in temperature as much as 60 degrees in a couple of hours.

The misalignment of the Sun is associated to the prophecies that speak of the Pole Shift. Remember we told you about the Kachinas that we call the twins and their role in the prophecy. One at the North Pole the other at the South Pole. (They keep this world in balance.) We told you this when the comet was in the sky that had two tales. This was just before the time when the Purifier would return in our heavens and when the Purification comes.

As it is seen now the Earth could turn over more than once before the changes are over. (Seven Years) The Kachinas are coming also some to help should others try to take advantage of our weakness if we fail. The Kachinas are connected to the playing out of our Prophecies. The Hopi have many Kachinas, including the Blue Star Kachina, who represents the benevolent Star beings that are on their way to help those who remember the original teachings. The Koshares who are the Clowns in the sacred dances represent mankind in the gradual degeneration of our societies and need for purification. The people more and more are being distracted from Creator’s way, they are walking away from their spiritual knowledge. When enough people are totally distracted, the scales of good and evil will fall out of balance again...The time of the Purification has come.

Hopi lineage extends to the Mayans, the Tibetans whose teachings are very similar. What occurs in Hopiland, or in Tibet, or in the Yucatan affects the rest of the world.

The sacred sites that are to be found in these places have spiritual lines that connect to other places. There is and always has been a spiritual web of life that has existed upon this plane. Once we knew the knowledge of these cycles that the Sun goes through. Now we know very little. We can only hope that there are enough people who care enough to help bring the true knowledge of these matters to the light so that we as a people and Earth People can understand what must be done.

This is a hard task to undertake for even now although more people understand the connection between living things. Even though today there are growing numbers of people who understand that every thing is alive and has a spiritual aspect and that planets are not just lifeless rocks, they communicate and interact with each other, perhaps there are not enough. What we think here on planet Earth effects the goings on within the Sun it self. What we do here on the Earth effects the whole of our solar system. If we are out of balance and there is war everywhere, then that emotion is felt throughout our solar system.

If you look at what is going on with our Sun and you look with an open mind, you will notice something strange. You will notice that wherever there is war upon this planet, on the same area of the Sun, as if you were looking into a mirror, you will see huge solar flares. Where there is unrest and disharmony upon Earth, there is also disruption occurring upon the Sun. Perhaps if you look at these things you will begin to feel the truth in these statements. There is still a lot of knowledge that indigenous people have that can help this situation. But the choice to put down our anger, and pain and follow the pathway of compassion is up to us.

In the traditional stories of the Hopi, the Mayan and the Tibetans there are stories, which tells about a group of people from Pleiades, Andromeda, and Sirius and other places, that have always come and helped the people here when something catastrophic happens or is about to happen.

The elders of all three traditions also once had the knowledge of getting around to visit other planets, and their teachings teach us that there is life on other stars as well as Earth. We have many evidences of this fact in the bones and other remains that have been found in our ancient burial sites. So even science now is taking another look at what they once thought was just legend.

We believe that what we are seeing around our Sun are these relatives, the prophecies tell us that they would be returning at this time. It is not just in one prophecy, it is in many, and they all tell the same story. The Purifier that is in the heavens this moment represents the ancestors returning from the West. That the Purifier has returned to our heavens tells us that these next seven years will be the purifying times that have been prophesied.

He will know what to do, how to help us. His job is to make us understand and behave ourselves. We still have time to correct our way of living. Soon things will begin to happen that we cannot turn around. These beings that we call our relatives will not wait forever for us to make up our minds.

If we don’t make the effort to live correctly, the Ones from the West, from Orion will come to purify us, and we will see things like World War III become a reality. These beings do not like our kind.

The Star that we call the Purifier is waking us up through dreams, visions and causing the opening of our minds, for many of us are their Children, and we are their Star seed. We are powerful enough to stop the Ones from the West if we act together as one. When the Purifier comes, it will be too late to change your path. The Purifier is already in the heavens and can be seen...but what people too easily forget is that the Purifier is seeing us also.

The Creator looks at our hearts over time true, change happens over time. Many of us here feel that it is already too late to start changing. To prepare for the Changes that are coming, you need to have strong spiritual beliefs and live your life according to the sacred ways our original teachings.

There are not many who truly do this these days, even among the Indians, who say they are keeping to the traditional beliefs there are not many. So no group is special; the darkness has fallen on all of us. And strange weather changes, natural disasters, and other things that you are seeing now. Disease is everywhere, the hospitals are filled to capacity, and the crops do not grow as they should.

The Changes will especially affect those in the big cities, because of much corruption in the cities. People need to prepare themselves, prepare food for storage to use. Money will become obsolete. People will need to be able to life off the land, get their food that way. Within two years we will go through another major depression, this one will effect the whole world. Water and food will be very scarce. You need to stockpile dry goods.

There will be 2-3 months without food or water (available). There will be a lot of starvation and sickness in the cities.

There will be a holocaust; a lot of lives lost—millions will die. It is seen as a coming to the Earth as comets, or meteors. First they will hit the Atlantic Ocean, then within the cycle of the moon they will hit the Pacific Ocean. The intensity of these events will be lessened if you settle down and remember who you are, and reconnect to the Spiritual side of yourselves. The Purifier cannot be compromised; the evil people will be eliminated. Only the good-hearted people will make it to the other side of what is about to happen.

There is no precise date set for the "Day of Purification". We are told that we are to watch the signs and prepared ourselves. After the Purification is over, there will be one language, one law—this will be Creator’s law.

There will be one government, but not the New World Order some talk about because freedom and Spirituality will be of the underlying essence of those who come through these final days.

Prepare for the warnings of the Purifier begin in the period of September to December of this year, then you will know what the elders have foretold you was not to be so lightly taken. We told you that the purifier would appear and be stationary in our heavens. That the Purifier would be watching us. That the Purifier would appear like a star that the whole world would see...look closely then at the Sun Cruiser, we say this is a starship, the scientists says it is a star, a planet...what or who do you think it is?

A Message To The World From Robert Ghost Wolf

Wolf Lodge Cultural Foundation

Holding Sacred Ground

Many dramas have entered our world since December of 1998. We are truly experiencing The Winds of Change I wrote about last year and presented as highlights on Art Bell’s Coast-to-Coast radio show. From the sudden demise of my friend Speaking Wind, to the passing over of several elders who have played important roles in my life—Elders who have been my friends as well as my teachers—Elders who were Warriors of Peace. Two of them were Hopi, Chief Dan Evehema, and Thomas Banyacya.

Since the drama with "the Miami Circle", both myself and my friend Richard C. Hoagland have been the targets of very serious attacks. Richard fell prey to a sudden heart attack surrounded by strange circumstances not too unlike that like my friend Speaking Wind, who did not survive. When one person falls victim of a calamity we can shrug it off to circumstance; when two fall, our eyes must begin to open. When we see it occur as I have with 9 people within our circles since December of 1998, I know I am not paranoid.

I myself have been the target for unfounded lies and vicious and slanderous reports spread throughout the internet by questionable sources, who portrayed themselves as would-be vigilantes. I have had to stand and watch as my computer equipment was destroyed by virus attacks that came through the Internet. I witnessed my web site hacked on more than one occasion. I have seen my personal friends and my family members threatened and maligned as well. It has been a year so far of receiving grand lessons in practicing forgiveness, and keeping focused on my contract to the Service of the Light. In many ways it is what I now call The Year of the Tiger.

The Year of the Tiger—where the tyrants of darkness, in losing ground, have resorted to playing very nasty and diabolical games. The war of dark and light continues to be waged, and the dark is not doing as well as it expected. They are resorting to desperate measures. Heroes are being cut down and anger and aggression have become the chosen pathway. This energy and attitude is being spread across the airwaves and in the published media like a nasty virus.

We watch, as brother is turned against brother, as children take up arms and slaughter their fellow classmates on high school campuses. Those who carry the banner of freedom and personal liberty are maligned and see their life’s work and careers ended because of having had the guts to come out and speak their truth to the public. These warriors are made out to be criminals because they spoke about events and occurrences that others were witnessing but were not in the position to speak out about in public.

These messengers dared to reveal and expose the policies and programs implemented against We the People by the Corporate Dynasties of Death—What some would call the New World Order. Sort of reminds me of the American Revolution. Were not Washington, Jefferson and LaFayette criminals in their times? Were not Ghandi, Jesus, Mohammed and Martin Luther King thrown into prison and maligned by their adversaries as well? Nothing has changed. Mankind is once again stuck in their image.

In this Year of the Tiger, I have made the conscious choice to return to the path I was walking before I stepped off for a brief visit to the Market Place. I accepted many invitations to speak to groups and mingled with the People. I have met many wonderful and many interesting People. I have also met and witnessed the corruption and the courage of the People. One does not take this kind of journey without expecting to get roughed-up and changed a little. I have no regrets about taking this journey, nor do I regret returning to my path.

My experience in the market place is now over and I am moving on. It is time for me to continue my learning and the work that is required of me in my Service to the Light. I have returned to my learning with the Indigenous Masters from this dimension and others. It is with their input that I share this message with you, for times are such that I feel the degree of confusion and hostility has reached a level of critical mass.

Thus far I have released two books on the subject of prophecy and the end-times in accordance with the teachings of the Indigenous Masters. Very few who heard the words on the all-night radio, attended the seminars, and came to the gatherings took them seriously. "He must be speaking about someone else!" I can still see it in the faces of those gathered before me. How easily we assume the position of listening to the words of the messengers and justify that the message is directed towards any direction but us. We refuse to see our own faults.

Recently the course of events previously forewarned moved into an energy shift. Now the "stories are becoming reality and impacting humanity personally inside their comfort zones." It seems as though the virus that is affecting humanity is happening on a global level. There is no safe place to hide, no magical place to move, and it isn’t happening to our neighbor’s kids, it is ours.

People, the time for a leisurely and blissful path to enlightenment is passed. We are at the threshold of the emergence of the Fifth World. Have you felt The Eye of the Tiger upon you yet?

We are, for the most part, experiencing the full effects of the purification that we have for so long been told was coming. It is and will continue to escalate in a sort of waveform as we progress through this period into an even more prolific level of shifting energies. We are in the throes of perhaps the greatest transition that the universe and mankind has ever known.

As we enter the Fifth World which I have spoken about for years, we are experiencing frequency changes which are altering the pattern of everything. We are literally existing in a new physics; reality is no longer what it was twenty, even ten years ago, from the simple way a neuron reacts to the way in which we interact with each other as human beings.

Part of the prophecies I have spoken about in my experience with you tell of the breaking down or fracturing, or fractalizing of all life expression as we have known it...Social Structures, Religious Structures, Financial Structures, as well as Scientific beliefs. When the physics of reality itself transmutes into something new, the Laws of Cause and Effect no longer apply. That which was once looked upon as a sure and definitive pathway to the outcome no longer exists. We are now Voyagers into the Void. Yet it is a predictable outcome, and is a result of the old Laws of Cause and Effect.

When consciousness is restricted to the point that it can no longer allow itself to be elastic and change with the evolution of the times and the species that express upon this plane, then imminent change is in order. What we are experiencing are shifts in frequency, dimension and physical structure to accommodate the emerging energy. It is so vast in its scope and yet so intrinsically simple. Something that has never been before is occurring to the whole of the Universe. We are transforming into a new species; we are preparing for a new consciousness, and another octave of physical expression.

Perhaps you have found yourself walking along a beach, or just staring out your apartment window and asking: Why am I here? Where do I come from? Who Am I? Why is it that I feel as though I am apart from everything, like I move to a different beat than everyone else? If I am more than flesh and blood then just what Am I? Is there more to life than just procreation, pain, and power? Is there a deeper meaning to this game we call life? Is it all a joke? What am I doing this for? How do I fit in God’s plan? How can I change my life? Have you found lately that you are questioning everything in your reality, everything?

We have arrived at a crucial point in our evolutionary process as a species upon Mother Earth. From all indications—the observances of Science, to the Prophets of old, from all culture, all religions, all the Earth’s children—there is no longer time for carelessly falling through life like a leaf at the mercy of the Wind.

We have reached a point in the time-space experience where we must as Hu-man beings make a conscious choice whether or not to become the Masters of our Destines. Shakespeare said it so well, "To be or not to be, that is the question!" This can only be accomplished by assuming full responsibility for being Co-creators of Reality here upon Mother Earth.

So what do you have to say? As you look at the world around you is it not quite apparent that humanity is out of control? Native American prophecy tells us that we are now experiencing the End Times...

Those who come from the teachings of The Mayan Mystery School tell us of a time of awakening that will follow our passage through the End Times. This may very well be The Most Magical Journey of your life, a time where you choose to change your life forever.

Along the journey, if you remain open and in contact with yourself, you will discover the keys to unlocking the many mysteries that have kept your soul from reaching its full potential through lifetime after lifetime of self-imposed denial. If you are willing to take the step across the abyss of time and space, and move beyond where your fears have held you prisoner for centuries, you will become Initiates learning within the Alchemical Garden the grandest mystery of all mysteries--the mystery of who you are.

As a race we are experiencing transition on multiple levels at an ever increasing volume and rate of speed. We are experiencing change from the innermost structure of the atoms that comprise our molecular structure, to the very frequency upon which our consciousness expresses. We are mysteriously coming into harmony with something that IS not yet, but will be. It is a cycle of birthing. The chicken is coming out of the egg.

We are experiencing dimensional shifting as our entirety of perceived reality. We, as a species are moving through the metamorphosis of consciousness. From here we get to take the next step in our evolutionary process. We are standing witness to the Dance of Shiva, the Dance of Life and Death—Lovers embraced in each others arms! Yet, we perpetuate the patterns of the Spell of Mortality—the greatest illusion of all!

WELCOME TO THE AWAKENING

The pathway through the Awakening is only achieved by passing through The Eye of the Shaman. This is a journey that requires much preparation, and if you are experiencing change on multiple levels then know that you are part of the living dream of humanity seeking to discover its Divine self amongst the Murk and Mire of the Market Place.

We are moving through confusion and at times it is pure chaos. Many of us are experiencing cleansing of the body physical as well as the mental, and spiritual. It is very important right now to maintain a strong connection to heart. As the Hopi elders have said so simply, "Open your hearts and let your song be sung." The heart frequency is the only frequency that you can rely upon to remain constant and in fact grow stronger as we move ahead through this time of Apocalyptic Transition...

So many of you are spending your already limited energies in resisting the changes that are coming forth. You are walking with your heads on backwards, holding on to the past. You are holding onto the thoughts of what you thought it should be like, what you should have been like...what it would have been like to be perfect in someone else’s eyes, in someone else’s dream. You could be spending that energy in moving with the flow of the river. What we are experiencing in this part of the purification is the cleansing of self from all illusions. The pain is in the holding on...holding on to the image of yourself that no longer applies to your newly found path. If you are experiencing resistence in every direction then perhaps your time of learning is no longer fulfilled in that experience.

Try to understand that there is nothing in the way any more that is holding you back from achieving the fulfillment of your dreams but yourself and your insistence on holding on to your past images of how it is supposed to be. Yes, there is much tearing apart and chaos that surrounds you, but know that the process of separating the wheat from the chaff is a very emotional experience. The intensity is determined solely by your own passion. And where you have refused to come to terms with your passion, you will then be motivated by the emotional qualities of your fears.

If you have practiced the disciplines of how to get in touch with yourself and connect to Source and made them a part of your reality, and by your daily actions you are living your own personal truth in harmony with the Divine plan, then you will be separated from the web of social consciousness. Yet you might ask why then is the world so out of balance? Why is it so difficult to manifest my chosen reality? Look a little deeper.

There is still a web. Ask yourself to how much of that web are you still connected? Most around you have not let go of that safety net of social consciousness yet. They cling on to the image of what they are supposed to be, how it is supposed to be. They are like the fly caught in the spider’s web. With each effort to struggle to free themselves, they only call the spider closer to them, and become more entangled in the web itself.

Those caught in this web of social consciousness cannot see the world for themselves. They have no thought that is genuinely their own. They live everyone else’s vision of reality and not their own. There are those who move back and forth from one position to the next like yo-yo’s, trapped in their own self-doubt. Paralyzed and not able to make a decision about where they truly stand, they take the position that is the most convenient in the moment...anything that will not disturb comfort zones.

Then there are those who just resist because they like resisting. If you break off the web of social consciousness, well you are then alone with no support structure, no one and nothing to back you up. Correct? Wrong. There is another web, the one that the Mother spins. Some call it the Web of Wyrd, some Spider Woman’s Dream web; some call it the higher web of holographic reality. It all depends from where your teaching has come. One has to struggle a little to learn how to maintain this connection. It is a self-learning process. It is an attuning process. It takes empathic abilities that normally are not utilized by people content with ordinary existence. So most fall back into old patterns so they can feel familiar energies, familiar patterns. They like living in a limited reality, there is safety in numbers. And most are stuck in old played-out comfort zones that no longer work.

Comfort zones were created by a person’s image and not themselves. Can you imagine spending your life hopelessly caught in the prison of someone else’s thought forms. Is it not a reality in which so many seem to be caught up, playing out a perpetual nightmare, repeating the same patterns over and over until they become numb to the fact that they are even playing the drama out? They are in a trance where they never free themselves from the spider’s web. They are always being pulled this way and that caught in behavior patterns they cannot unlock. Their self-doubt has glued them to the web like contact cement. They struggle and struggle spending all that energy going nowhere.

This part of the purification is a time for experiencing a full-life review. This is the fire...the fire of emotional confusion. Here we learn to master our emotions and walk the path of the Master. We are seeing our thought patterns being reflected back to us from every part of the globe. On every level of life, and within every aspect of our personal experience, we are being given the opportunity to change our patterns. We are finding there is no escape from life experiences; the only choice is to face them and walk through the illusion one step at a time. This allows us to review the process of our patterns through experience and change our destiny. The outcome of our life experiences can be altered forever if we have the courage not to charge the situations, and allow the higher aspect of ourselves to take charge.

We learn the pattern to the dance we play, by watching and making the appropriate changes.

If we get it right we never have to walk through that dark night of the soul again. We will be free forever from repetition of the merry-go-round syndrome, where we are without power to effect change in our lives and adapt to every-shifting situations. The process is totally self-generated. So it is very important to come to terms with the inner being you truly are. This is not a time of compromise and surrender to thoughts and actions which do not create harmony within us. We are feeling our separation between each other, for it is not in harmony with the Mother’s dream. It is very unnatural for us in all truth to exist in a world of paranoia, and fear. It is all part of the illusion, and is the result of the manipulation of our truths for eons of experience upon this plane.

We have been, as a people, so long separated from our dreams, and our spirit that we are now facing the Winds of Change with little or no foundation for understanding the experience of the impact of the events occurring around us. We are feeling the emotional storms of a humanity that has for so long forcused upon the physical that what is going on at this time is without even a common understanding. We are blind and paralyzed by what humanity itself has manifested through tyranny and a philosophy of rule by proliferating fear and employing tyranny to support a system of synthetic social consciousness. We are watching as the consciousness around us implodes upon us.

We are watching as the Children of Babylon tear down their own creations and build defenses to protect themselves against the phantoms of their inner-most fears...fears which were born of their own actions. These actions are made in ignorance for the knowledge of who they were and what they were was kept from them. There is no clearer way of saying it other than we are experiencing The Last Waltz of the Tyrants.

There is no avoiding the shifting and storms of the inner being. It is truly the pathway of the purification and no stone shall remain unturned. We are experiencing the rising to the surface of all that has remained hidden. All of our dark thoughts, all of our fears, all of our untruths are surfacing for they have become blocks to our moving into the new reality.

All the warnings were given. Year after year I walked with elders from how many Nations pleading, asking, healing, performing ceremony. Please help the Native people. Realize the importance of the Sacred Sites. Although your memory may be closed to these things now, they will be important in your understanding of what is to come. Hear what our ancestors, your ancestors have left as a warning to us about these times that are coming.

Now, we look helplessly hoping for an answer...for something to occur that will change the course of society as the world around us collapses into utter chaos. Rage and violence have become the order of the day. You read your newspapers and stock reports. You see life through magazines and motion pictures. You are becoming a race that sees no consequence in its actions and employs no morality or sense of reverence in its actions taken. The Earth and her people are less than expendable commodities for the sake of the success of the corporate beast. The Black Serpent has reared its head as the Peacemaker forewarned, and as it was told, is devouring the whole of the Earth.

And now even though you are in danger...now that you feel your Mother turning within...you see the crops dying, and the forest turning yellow and the game disappearing. Your seas can barely support life, and the air burns your lungs, and causes such diabolical diseases that your flesh devours itself, you walk as though you were immortal Gods that can meet no ending in any reality. You dance the dances of tyranny as the fruit of the vine withers and the flora falls upon the Earth dried and withered from man made meteorological disasters.

You manipulate the weather, the Earth and Her Atmosphere as though it was a chemistry set you purchased from Toys-R-Us. You justify your actions in courts of law that have long since seen days of justice, honor and compliance with Divine Laws. You set your laws immutable before the hosts of God. No individual dare speak of freedom and personal liberties before the Great God of Social Distortion, the hallucinatory manifestation of the sickness of the Human soul. Yes, it is The Last Waltz of the Tyrants. It is the darkest hour that Humanity has known for a long time, longer than memory can provide.

Crush the dreams of children. Continue to mistreat your women, and tear out their hearts with fingers as cold as the steel. The hearts that dwell within these lifeless bodies once housed the Lords of Light. People these are your last days. You are fast becoming carnivores of your own kind, rather than givers of life. You practice judgment as if it were your sacred religion. And you judge as clowns, not knowing the whole of the story, not caring to see the facts, and not looking into the situation for yourselves. Rather you follow the mooing of the herd and the bell of self-gratification by your addictions that are numbing your brains, your senses, and killing your bodies faster than the darkest of plagues.

Your lack of compassion for each other as Brother and Sisters of Light, and the turning away of even your children, has released a darkness that had long been contained. Oh children of Babylon you have unleashed demons that are not even of this Earth that prey upon you with no hope of slowing. Yes, the Plagues of the Apocalypse are upon us now, and there are no cures. They rain upon you from your clouds; the birds fall from the skies and still you do not heed. The fishes boil up from the waters and still you do not heed. The animals suffer from growths of distortion and hideous mutations that grow upon their multiple limbs. These things even as the prophets of old forewarned now appear in your own kind, yet still you think there is escape from the calamity of your ways.

Build a new city, paint over the old walls. Put a new store front upon the old and rotten core—the face-lift society. It is cosmetic surgery to hide the rotting core. And yet even your children cannot afford to live in the synthesized world you are creating. It is a heartless world that creates not the living soul of the poet, but only the dying screams of its own youth shooting themselves in schoolroom hallways and taking their own lives rather than move into a future without dreams, without hope, without compassion. Humanity has become its own worst nightmare as it contracts in waves of self-inflicted pain, suffering in the agony of the realization of its own death. Hoping even that war...perhaps war and total annihilation of the life force can stop the madness that has overcome itself.

How can we escape from ourselves? How can we refuse to see our own reflections? How can we not hear our own voice? We are entering the Sixth and Seventh Thunders now, and there will be no turning back the clock. Creation will no longer excuse the cries of ignorance. Innocence once gave us instant passage through the blackness of our dying dreams to the morning in the land where dreams still greet the coming of daylight as if it were the first daylight ever experienced. Did you think the prophecies were for someone else? Did you think the prophecies were only a story about some land in a far away place? Sorry! It would seem that you feel victim to your own shortcomings.

Are there any signs of hope you would ask me as we stand at the gateway of World War Three...as the smell of burning flesh rises into the sky and blows across the Earth landing on farms, children, and butterfly wings? YES!...is the answer from the woods. For even now the Mother of all that is expressed upon this plane would not turn from her children.

As a species we have arrived at a pivotal point in our evolution. We are about to embark on a new adventure. We are about to turn the page of history concerning this earthly experience. We are entering a galactic reawakening. We are subject for entry into the federation of planetary beings. There are others who have elected to take from you your freedom of choice in how the final episode of Spaceship Earth will play itself out. For there have always been those who live in defiance of Creator’s plan. It is the friction of the Human Drama. Without the friction there is no fire, and life becomes flat and passionless.

Each of us has to grasp the fact that the negative illusion which has been planted in us of "how can one person effect the outcome?", is a lie. We have to completely turn our attitude around 180 degrees. There must be constructed within our being an entirely new architecture. The Temple must be rebuilt. For within is where we shall find the New Jerusalem, not without. We must design a new Sacred Architecture that promotes and sustains a complete attitude change, and that change must come quickly.

In order for change to occur quickly and for humanity to manifest a winning attitude we begin with accepting that we have all had a part to play in the creation of the darkness. The negativity that exists within our society and is viewed throughout our world is not just a manipulated engineered chance happening directed by some vague and mysterious force. "They are doing this to me, the victim cries..."

No, the pathway of truth is also the pathway of sovereignty, which is born from taking responsibility for the here and now. When we walk the Pathway of Truth what was once unseen becomes very clear and present. We, ourselves, perhaps long ago, planted the seed of today’s ills. The Native Americans tell us we must take the responsibility for the next seven generations. We will inherit the consequence of our deeds through these future generations as we return around the wheel of life. Again as some of the elders see it, we are now harvesting what we did in the past both emotional and through physical actions as we laid the groundwork for today seven generations ago.

We have developed many new ways of self-development over the past twenty-five years or so. There may be means out there by which we can learn to expedite karmic recoil, and life itself has quickened its pace indeed. We may well have even passed into a period of time experience where we are free from karmic debt from past life experience. However, there is no way one can avoid karmic consequences entirely. The only passage through karmic consequence where there is even hope of relief from the weight of created karma, and the pain and suffering that reckless creation manifests is through accepting the responsibility for our actions and making the commitment to change, to forgive, and to surrender judgment, hate and denial and to live with compassion for all that is.

"Thought creates the nature of all reality" is a grand universal truth. We now know that all reality responds to the vibration of thought. The vibration of thought can resonate to either the higher end of the spectrum or the lower end of the spectrum. The spectrum being what the body-mind physical is capable of manifesting as a living environment. This means we can keep following the downward spiral of humanity into the depths of the effects of our lower vibratory existence, OR we can make the conscious commitment to take the upward spiral towards the Divine human experience. This means making an effort to build courage, endurance, steadfastness and the development of Will. This Will manifests from our learning to have our own thoughts about life, the part self plays in its drama, and our interaction amongst other human beings in our dance.

This is no longer a time for shrugging our responsibility to life and taking the leisure path. We are, like it or not, responsible to the account of man. This account has been built over hundreds of lifetimes of dancing round the wheel. There are those who would mock the Creator’s plan to complete this final episode of our planetary experience here. Their manipulations and tampering with the human experience through technology cannot prevail in the final outcome. Yes, they exist...then so do mosquitoes. Yes, our reality has been tampered with, so have we tampered with the reality of the entire universe. There is much that remains to be revealed in the near future.

There are even ongoing attempts by some who would desire to predetermine the nature of our shift into the new paradigm. Manipulation of the weather, frequency bombardment to the general populous, experimental chemical and fungicidal spraying of whole regions are all desperate actions by those who would choose to be the rulers and controllers of this new paradigm we are entering. The outcome of these Final Days is being steered and our consciousness being manipulated to meet some preordained destiny with the Apocalypse. What if the truth behind the fairy tale were different than has been represented? What if the outcome was not immutable? What if the potential for the outcome was as unlimited as Creation itself? What if there were things that the lesser gods have overlooked?

None of us has been abandoned or left behind to experience a world of suffering and conflict, seeing our dreams torn apart in the agony of destruction. We have merely been called to the pathway of truth. We learn the fundamentals of what truth is through the experience of the Human Drama and through the initiation of the Emotional Storms predicted by our own inner conflict and inability to move beyond our own fears. We are being tested in grand manner and forged like steel. No one manipulates our true self; it is only the outer robe of the character we play that refuses to give way to the new Self, the God Self, that can be manipulated.

Humanity must learn collectively to make a holo-leap. We must forge ahead into another paradigm almost instantaneously. To accomplish this superhuman feat, we must now reach deep into the core essence of what we are touch that which is the essence of the Human Spirit itself.

In The Light....Robert Ghost Wolf

Let us move now directly into the promised material from David Wilcock on the Mayan Calendar.

The Amazing Synchronicity

of Chatelain’s Mayan Calendar

Perhaps the single most interesting thing that we come across as we get closer and closer to understanding this solar cycle is the triangulation around 1999 and 2000. There are endless numbers of apparently reliable prophecies pointing to this discrete period of time, not 2012, as the point of major change. The Cayce Readings, referencing what has to be the exact same solar cycle as indicated by Ra and the Mayan Calendar, called attention to 1998. The question we must then ask ourselves is this. If 2012 is supposed to be "it," then why are so many prophecies focusing on a time that is significantly earlier than this?

If we look at the Great Cycle strictly from the perspective of the sunspots, we might then assume that the interest in 2000 could stem from the fact that the smallest "sunspot cycle" is known to operate in 11-year increments. We know that this 11-year cycle has an effect, disrupting radio communications and increasing solar particle emissions. Current calculations place the next sunspot peak date as occurring in May of 2000. That fact alone suggests strongly that there is a connection, as most people are well aware of the May 5, 2000 planetary lineup that will occur. This was made public in the opening episodes of the TV show "Millennium," as well as Richard Noone's 5 / 5 / 2000: Ice, The Ultimate Disaster.

The simple fact that the second-to-last sunspot peak occurs in 2000 might be enough for most people to be convinced that this explains the position of Cayce's prophecies. The Ra Material indicates that the energy coming out of the Sun is indeed multi-dimensional, and thus if there is an increase of it, we can expect an increasing pressure of fourth-density energy. We also know that we have major social and planetary changes listed in the Cayce Readings for 1998 and a possible pole shift in 2001. So, if we pin the tail on the donkey between those two years given by Cayce, we have a "happy medium" of 1999-2000.

So, it makes good sense that the peaks of the 11-year sunspot cycle would also represent peaks in this increasing energy. Since May 2000 is the last peak in the sunspot cycle before 2012, we can expect that during that year, the 4D energies would increase to their absolute highest possible point before the final event itself occurs in 2012. The intensity of this "high point" could conceivably bring in a burst of fourth-density energy that is strong enough to create the Ascension or Rapture experience, where human entities spontaneously shift frequencies and rise from third-density to fourth-density vibrations. [But wait, there is even going to be more evidence than this.]

Elkins never asked the question of the 2000 date in the Ra Material, so we have to find out for ourselves what the true answer is here. But we can see right away how neatly this ties in with the Biblical notions of the Second Coming of Christ ushering in 1000 years of peace. It would certainly make good sense that this 1000 years would be timed in accordance with our own calendrical cycles, and therefore beginning in 2000. This has been the belief of many Biblical scholars for long periods of time. If anyone had ever come to Earth who should be capable understanding these cycles enough to make prophecies, Jesus would obviously be at the top of the list!

However, the purpose of this chapter is to illustrate an even deeper aspect of the Solar Cycle that has never before been correlated together in the way that it is here. We will cite the efforts of another Maurice C., this time not Maurice Cotterell but Maurice Chatelain, a former NASA scientist and astrophysicist from France. The synchronicity between these two names is another interesting "hint" of a connection in some higher sense. In his now rare, out of print book from 1971 entitled Our Ancestors Came from Outer Space, Chatelain makes an apparently airtight scientific and mathematical case for the Mayan calendar being dated incorrectly.

Before we explain his case, we need to qualify all of this by stating that Wilcock's readings have now stated emphatically that Chatelain was indeed wrong, in one sense. Chatelain reconfigured the Mayan Calendar based on new information that he himself discovered. This reconfiguration fit in so nicely with other pieces of data that Wilcock was convinced that Chatelain had to be right, and wrote it into previous editions of this book. Even though the reconfigured dates were wrong, the information itself is vitally important in understanding this cycle.

What we will learn as a result of Chatelain's work is that in order to understand this cycle, we need to watch Jupiter and Saturn, specifically when they go into conjunction with each other. It is for this reason that even greater wonder is associated with May of 2000, as Jupiter and Saturn reach conjunction on May 28^th, 2000. This will prove to be the "missing link" we were searching for.

Remember that Ra refers to the "outward expanding and inward coagulating" energy that is responsible for our Solar Cycle. Ra's quote makes it clear that we have to go beyond simply studying the Sun - this "pulsating energy" would be the entire Solar System. Therefore, we do indeed need to consider the cycles of ALL the planets in order to see how this cycle functions. Since Jupiter and Saturn are the largest, we can also expect that they will exert the greatest force on this cycle. It is for this reason that we need to pay very close attention to them.

So, what we will do here is to first present Chatelain's case from the perspective of our original book, which assumed that he was correct. Do not be misled as we do this. After we go through this explanation and lay out the case, we will bring in new information from Cotterell that confirms why the conventional dating has to be the accurate one. And then at last, we will rectify the two camps of data together with information based on the revelations in the Wilcock Readings.

In his book, which actually covers many different subjects, Chatelain discusses the bitter war between the French and the Germans considering the seeming ambiguity of the Mayan Calendar's start date. This occurred when the calendar was first discovered, as there were actually two copies found, and they did not, in fact, precisely agree with each other. It took a great deal of work to finally arrive at the proper starting date. Since so much effort was involved in resolving these conflicting areas of data, Chatelain concedes that our now-universal adaptation of the "winning" date set is not necessarily grounded. Chatelains’ own start date perfectly coincides with a massive astrological event that lends great credibility to his date system.

[We do need to keep in mind here that times have now changed. Cotterell has now definitively tied in the "conventional" date set with the precise appearance of Venus at the horizon during the Equinox, known as the "Birth of Venus." Though we have not yet discussed it, Cotterell has also shown how the Maya calibrated the entire Solar Cycle off of the cycles of Venus' revolutions. Therefore, there is a planetary / astrological connection to the conventional date set as well as to Chatelain's date system. This planetary / astrological connection strengthens the hyperdimensional nature of this cycle as occurring throughout the entire Solar System, not just the Sun itself.]

In the year targeted by Chatelain’s research as the beginning of the most recent cycle of the Mayan Calendar, there is a major four-way planetary conjunction in one quadrant of the sky, consisting of all the outer planets, which obviously are much slower-moving than the inner ones. Chatelain then counts three cycles back to 18,600 years ago, and shows that during the start of that cycle, there was an extremely rare double eclipse, where a total solar and total lunar eclipse happened within mere months of each other. Both conjunctions are precise enough with the new dating system that there can be no accident; the crucial dates in the Chatelain Mayan Calendar are associated with major astrological events.

Astrologers ascribe very high significance to conjunctions such as eclipses and 4-way linkups, as they seem to multiply the influences from the different planets, and can thus cause very powerful changes in people on the Earth. One might suggest that they could change or destabilize the Earth’s magnetic field as well, though nearly all astrophysicists will disagree with this. If there is an aspect of destabilization that is involved, it might help explain why the magnetic pole shift is associated with this Great Cycle. If there is indeed a planetary action that is somehow destabilizing to magnetic fields, how might it work?

A mid-1998 special issue of Scientific American devoted to the Cosmos showed that the size of the magnetic field of Jupiter is larger than the physical size of the Sun. Even though these magnetic effects do not apparently hold sway in three dimensions, we cannot automatically assume that there are not higher-dimensional effects involved. It will become more and more evident in following chapters that a planetary magnetic field is far more than a simple question of north and south; it could be likened unto a gigantic, geometric crystal of hyperdimensional energy, interwoven with its planetary counterparts in a giant web. This is exactly as we were told by Ra in The Ra Material, as well as the Cayce Readings.

Returning to the point of this section, Chatelain again indicates massive conjunctions and eclipses with the start dates of the Mayan Calendar. And now, in 1999, we are heading into another massive four-way planetary conjunction, which occurs simultaneously with a total solar eclipse. The actual conjunction involves almost all of the planets in a Grand Cross formation, where they are all lined up in a giant square, so to speak. The date of this conjunction is August 11, 1999, and at 11:11 a.m., the sun is fully darkened, reaching its corona directly over Greenwich, England. Greenwich is ground zero for our time measurement system, the city that the Prime Meridian was designed to penetrate through.

We will indeed be coming back to this Aug. 11 conjunction in great detail, but for now, chew on this. On page 225 of Gilbert and Cotterell’s Mayan Prophecies, it says this: "The start of the Mayan Long Count calendar is usually taken as 3114 BC... There is also not 100% agreement as to whether the starting day of the Long Count... is 12 August or 10 August."

Remember the Aug. 11, 1999 conjunction date we just mentioned? Surprised? Out of all 365 days in the year, the scientists only argue over two dates for the start of the Mayan Calendar, and this eclipse on Aug. 11 is smack-dab in the middle. We have to then wonder if there is some hyperdimensional significance to the position of the Earth in orbit on Aug. 11. This might have to do with its tilt angle in relation to the Sun, and how this angle affects the magnetic lines of the Global Grid. This one clue is something that helps point in the direction of the 1999 "11:11" event as actually being the first "wave" of Ascension.

And, there is much more to the 11:11 conjunction than just this. We will let Joe Mason bring up the rear on this point, since he did such a good job. This intensive essay can be found at www.greatdreams.com/eclipse.htm. Mason shows us that this same exact conjunction was secretly encoded into the Book of Revelation, as the myth of the Four Beasts of the Apocalypse. Each of the four beasts represent the four astrological symbols in which the "Grand Cross" takes place. Joan Sckrabulis wrote an entire book about this, and the link promo is at www.erols.com/eclipse1999.html.

Also, Rev. 11:11 speaks directly of Ascension: "After the 3 1/2 days… God appeared on a cloud and said, "Come up here," and they were borne up into the heavens…" The metaphor of the 3 1/2 has to do with humanity's leap from the third density into the fourth.

Another brand new and fantastic update on this subject came Wilcock's way in February of 1999, right before this book was to be republished in its new form on the Internet. It has indeed increased Wilcock's confidence in the first Ascension occurring in August of 1999. This data comes about through the work of John Mini, in a work entitled Day of Destiny. The full Internet write-up on the book can be found at Mini's website, entitled www.dayofdestiny.com. A few quotes from the site:

Indeed, Mini's question is answered quite astonishingly well right within these pages. There is a close connection between the Aztec Sun Calendar and the Mayan Calendar, and yet the ending dates are different. It is the timing of the J-S conjunctions, and their powerful effect on the Solar Cycle, that provides the perfect explanation for why the Aztecs would have zeroed in on this date. The pull of the astrological forces surrounding the Aug. 11, 1999 period are obviously strong enough that we have several completely independent sources of information unilaterally cross-validating each other!

[However, the Aztec data might not add up. If we count in 52-year units from the 1507 date of the Toxiuh Molpilli referred to above, we zero in on 1975 and 2027. That makes it more likely to have been a "psychic" piece of guidance. The closeness of the dates is just extremely, extremely persuasive, regardless of the immediately visible "problems."]

So, we have already seen that Chatelain associates the start of the Mayan Calendar with a massive planetary conjunction. Again, what we have here is an indication that the Mayans were very interested in astrology, and the Great Cycle is intimately connected with it.

The mainstream wisdom does not associate the Calendar with conjunctions, although it is correlated with the cycles of Venus through Cotterell. Chatelain paints a completely different picture. The Mayan Calendar is a multifaceted astrological tool, in fact quite ingenuous and very useful once understood. The Calendar is not simply one cycle; it is measured through smaller cycles, which must also be considered.

The Mayan Calendar can be measured with several different counting units. The smallest of these is the katun, which is approximately 20 years in length, at 7,200 days. One Mayan Calendar cycle of approximately 5,200 years consists of 260 of these katuns. This number 260 proves to be the most sacred number in all of Mayan science and mysticism. We will explore the new information that suggests why it was so important as we progress. This number was so crucial and sacred to their understanding of the universe that they actually assigned it a name, calling it the tzolkin.

In order to break the Calendar up into more manageable pieces, they also grouped the 20-year katuns together into groups of 20. Each of these groups of 20 katuns is about 400 years long, or 144,000 days, and the name they created for this was the baktun. Since there are 260 of the katuns in one Calendar Cycle, you would need 13 groups of 20 in order to have everything add up. So, for each Calendar Cycle, there are 13 baktuns altogether.

As we just stated, the tzolkin number 260 is the ultimate sacred number to the Mayans. It is the root of their entire mathematical system and the number of days in their Sacred Year. Their calendar consisted always of two dates. They would count the conventional solar years of 365 days along with the 260-day Sacred Years at the same time. Thus, every calendar date was a combination of these two variables. All of this is very well covered in Chatelain and Gilbert's Mayan Prophecies.

This aspect of their culture may be yet another astrological cycle that we do not yet understand, but as we shall see, the deeper synchronicities surrounding the number 260 are mind-blowing. As our first example, Cotterell indicates that the swirling gases at the Sun’s equator make one complete rotation every 26 Earth days. Cotterell also demonstrates that ten of these rotations, or 260 days, are pivotal to all higher - level Solar cycles. Therefore, the Mayan Sacred Year of 260 days would be a precise way of keeping track of solar activity. The question we must immediately ask is this: How did an apparently non-technical society know to count this? There are certainly no recorded bits of evidence to suggest that they had anything even remotely resembling the satellite technology that we used to discover this.

When we expand our tzolkin number of 260 to its higher harmonics, we have 260 katuns in the Calendar Cycle. We also have 260 days in the Sacred Year. We will soon see how important this is. The amazing discovery that Chatelain makes is that the katun itself is not just a dead, lifeless fraction of the Great Cycle; it is a working cycle all in its own right. Chatelain indicates in his book that the scientists knew that the length of the katun had to be about 19.75 years, but no one has ever explained what it was actually measuring. They tried such things as dividing the length of the orbits of various planets in years, but nothing seemed to work. Miraculously, and perhaps absurdly, no one ever bothered to check the conjunctions between the planets.

Though no one else had ever considered it, Chatelain realized that by adding a very slight 54 days extra to the standard katun length of 7,200 days, he suddenly, magically arrived at the precise length of time between each conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. This conjunction was the grease in the gears, the very essence of what made the clock tick. And that is just the beginning. The katun not only worked for Jupiter and Saturn, but when taken as a unit, it plugged into the orbits of many other planets as well.

So, we can easily see that by simply using the katuns to count, it would be quite possible to plot out all major planetary motions in this manner through relatively simple math.

The typically recognized number system given for the structure of the Mayan Calendar is very simplified and round; 20, 260, 360, 7,200 and 144,000. Each of these refer to a number of days, namely the uinal, tzolkin, tun, katun and baktun. Anyone can read a breakdown of these numbers in Gilbert and Cotterell's book. Since these numbers describe some amazingly complex cycles, we cannot ignore how Divinely simple these numbers really are. For example, 36 and 36 adds to 72, and 72 and 72 add to 144. Plus, 144 is the same as 12 x 12. We obviously have the 12 / 12 connection of the month of December and the year 2012, which appears to be pure synchronicity. We also have the Biblical notion of the idea of 144,000 people being able to Ascend at the time of the Rapture. We cannot ignore the fact that it appears that the Christian authors were tapping into the number mechanics behind this cycle.

In order for Wilcock to have sided with Chatelain's calendar interpretation in the original version of this book, it was necessary to overlook the beauty and simplicity of the accurate numbers used by the Maya. Chatelain's numbers, based on J-S conjunctions, disrupt the elegance of that system with non-round numbers and decimal points. What Wilcock also overlooked was the fact that Cotterell's case for associating these numbers into the sunspot cycle is literally airtight. That leaves us with a most bizarre and interesting proposition - the fact that there is no "gray area" concerning these numbers that govern the celestial mechanics of our Solar System. It becomes very, very obvious that there is indeed an elegant, simplistic, Divine and intelligent design to the way these cycles are working. We will continue looking at this as we go on.

For now, we rest with Chatelain's theories, which have drawn attention to the almost 100 percent connection between the katun and the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction. We can then begin to understand the physical connection to the katuns' use as a counting system. The question that we must then ask of Chatelain's data is what about the big picture itself, the main Calendar Cycle of ~5,200 years? Chatelain distinctly shows that the entire cycle can be perfectly broken down into mathematically precise measurements for many different planetary conjunctions, especially Jupiter and Saturn, as we mentioned. Here is Chatelain to explain.

And thus, we have Chatelain’s explanation of how he arrived at what he considered to be the true length of the Mayan Calendar, 5,163.8 years, and how it was measured. The measurement occurred through planetary conjunctions, the very foundations of astrology and an unchanging product of celestial mechanics. We also can see from his writings here that a great number of differing planetary conjunctions all fit into the Calendar Cycle like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Notice, though, that this system of planetary calculations fits for HIS number for the Mayan Calendar, at 1,886,040 days of length, and NOT the regular number of 1,872,000 days.

Cotterell does give us many crucial parts of the puzzle, but it was Chatelain’s discovery that the Mayan Calendar was directly linked to astrological conjunctions that led to his discovery of the importance of Jupiter and Saturn. In order to fit the Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions that the Maya used as a counting system, Chatelain needed to modify the typically utilized dates. As we go on and look at the numbers, we must ask ourselves if it was possible that the Maya were indeed well aware of both the Chatelain version of the calendar as well as the conventional one. It certainly appears that the two cycles are permanently and inextricably woven into each other. The length of the katun is just far too close to the length of the J-S conjunction to be a coincidence.

From the excerpts just cited previously, we now know that Chatelain is indicating to us that the length of his version of the Mayan Calendar Cycle is 1,886,040 days, and therefore a baktun, which is 1/13th of the whole cycle, would be 145,080 days. The standard, rounder figures take the baktun to be 144,000 days, and we again remember that this also is the number of people said to Ascend in the Bible. If we multiply the traditional baktun of 144,000 by 13, we get 1,872,000, the number of days for the common Mayan Calendar cycle. So between Chatelain’s length of 1,886,040 and the common length of 1,872,000, we can see that there is a discrepancy; the astrology-based Mayan Calendar from Chatelain is slightly longer in duration.

Remember now that Cotterell had independently discovered a Sunspot cycle that caused the Sun’s magnetic fields to shift, before he ever saw any mathematical information tying this in with the Mayas. His numbers had come strictly from the interpretation of satellite data pertaining to the ebb and flow of sunspots. This principal sunspot cycle that Cotterell calculated is given in Mayan Prophecies as 1,366,040 days. The Maya put great work into monitoring these cycles, as they were directly connected with smaller - scale cataclysms on Earth. Remember that this is a smaller, more frequent cycle that affects when the Sun’s own poles shift, not the Great Cycle of ~25,000 years itself. As we previously stated, this solar pole shift cycle has to run itself through seven times in order to add up into the Great Cycle. By the way, these seven cycles fit exactly into the Great Cycle, so there is no debating the connection there.

Again looking back to Cotterell, we see that his own sunspot shift cycle of 1,366,040 days was very closely related to 1,366,560 days, the Mayan "Super Number" in the Dresden Codex. They are exactly 520 days apart from each other, or 2 x 260, the tzolkin number and Sacred Year. This leaves absolutely no question that the Maya were aware of these solar cycles. The additional 520 days act as Cotterell's "shift differential operator," introducing an extra pattern into the equation that allows us to expand these cycles into even larger patterns in the Sun's activity. This tzolkin "shift number" obviously has a wide range of uses in the universe!

Remember that Cotterell calculated his solar pole shift number without ever having seen the Mayan information. When you really dig into Cotterell's information, you discover that the Mayan "Super Number" of 1,366,560 days was based on the usage of the cycles of Venus to calculate solar pole shift. We will not go into detail to explain these points, as it is extremely complicated, relegated to the appendices in the back of Mayan Prophecies. It is an interesting point, though, to see that Venus works so perfectly with the su
