The subject of Mayan or Incan Cosmology in relation to the Pleiades is V-A-S-T. When I said this was an INTRODUCTION to the subject, I more or less meant EXACTLY that: sort of like... “People, meet the Tzolkin. Tzolkin, these lovely people would like to get to know you a little better. Here are a few names & addresses & websites. Good luck!”
Indeed, research on Galactic Timefields has accelerated so fast since 1987 that I find myself at the bottom of the class in Mayan-Pleiadian Cosmology. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to impart the modest insight that I do possess to as many people as I can - simply because I believe that even the most casual understanding of this system of thinking is a crucial key to surfing the tidal wave of radical changes that's about to smash our familiar worldviews to pieces. WHAT IS THE TZOLKIN? For the best answer we must turn to visionary artist and cultural historian José Argüelles, who spent 33 years contemplating the mystery of the Maya, and finally published his mind-boggling conclusions in one of the most significant books ever written. In The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology, Argüelles explains it this way (more or less):
The Tzolkin is a Harmonic Module. A Super-Macro-Chip in the Galactic Computer - in fact it's the Mother Logic Board, for those of you with a bit of computer savvy - that constitutes the Operating System of the entire Milky Way Galaxy. And yet it's a very simple device consisting of 13 tones (think of them as musical tones if you like) interacting with 20 frequency zones (each frequency zone representing a specific range of experiential probabilities or mental-emotional qualities). The 13 tones are signified by numbers - although the Mayans, like the Egyptians, the Hebrews & the Tibetans, regarded numbers as qualities as well as quantities - if you can bear that in mind at all times.
In other words, two isn't just a pair of eyes or ears or whatever, two represents bi-polarity, maleness & femaleness, yin & yang. Three represents evolutionary movement - one + one = two & when you add one more, you don't just get three, you get the possibility of evolution symbolized by the triangle or the trinity. Four, the basis of squareness, represents stability (when taken as the basic geometric structure underlying all structures, viz. the tetrahedron) & also measure, for only when a structure is stabilized can it be measured; perhaps that's why the most common measure in music is 4/4. Well, I don't want to get too involved with details. This is a subject that deserves months, years of personal research & study - if you find it interesting & I hope you will by the time my time runs out!
Anyway... 13 tones interacting with 20 frequency zones (which the Maya called the 20 Sacred Suns or starglyphs) produces a 260-day probability-wave-field. Another area I won't delve into too much is Mayan mathematics. For one thing, my head gets rather woolly when trying to deal with numbers & for another this is a subject that would take an entire 9-day or 9-year course to even begin to understand its implications. Let's just say that the Maya worked with fractal geometries & therefore all their numbers are fractal values: which means, the Maya work with hologram realities, where each part essentially contains the whole.
13 X 20 = 260 which is a fractal of 26,000 - the approximate number of years required for the Earth's orbit around the Sun to complete a grand tour of the Zodiac. Note, too, that the 20 Sacred Suns are represented by our 10 fingers & 10 toes, which means 5 is a central figure in their calculations. The pentatonic musical scale is derived from this ancient system of reckoning. The Chinese have their 5 elements, we speak of our 5 senses, and so on. Well, 260 divided by 5 = 52... & there are 52 weeks to the year. 52 is also a fractal value of 5,200 - which is the number of tuns or Mayan years it takes for us to travel from the Beginning to the End of History - and that's just one Great Cycle in the Galactic Scheme of Events.
Let me try & explain what all this means. Please bear with me while I spew a few more numbers. Now the Mayan calendar is an intricate cosmic gear mechanism which integrates many micro & macro movements first there's the k'in or day; then there's the tun or solar year of 360 k'in; then the katun of 20 tuns, the baktun of 20 katuns (approximately 394 solar years); the pictun of 20 baktuns (approx.imately7,900 years); the calabtun of 20 pictuns (approximately 157,600 years) - and this can go on infinitely till the numbers get so huge we can't even speak them. For practical purposes, the Maya decided to work with only 9 orders, culminating with the alautun (approximately 63,040,000 years).
Now, it's obvious the Maya are NOT your proverbial frog under the coconut shell. The Maya are, in fact, pretty cosmic thinkers & navigators. With the Maya we are, in fact, dealing with a highly evolved galactic intelligence which has been gently guiding the course of human evolution for hundreds of thousands of years.
WHERE DO THE MAYA ORIGINATE? If you look at the simple map of the Pleiades among your notes, you'll notice that the second star after Alcyone is called MAYA. I don't mean to be obtuse, but THAT's where the Maya originate. You see, one of the most astounding facts I've stumbled upon in the last 5 years is that our Sun - yes, good old Sol - is an integral member of the Pleiadian Star Alliance. Don't bother asking an astronomer or your local planetarium whether this is true. They don't have a clue about this. When I first read about this in a book by Barbara Hand Clow (one of her Mind Chronicles trilogy) I instantly felt a shiver of recognition. For years, the word “Pleiades” had given me a strange feeling of familiarity. I just didn't know why. I simply liked the sound of the word “Pleiades” – it felt like ‘home’ to me! Now, I have very good friends from Arcturus, Sirius, Aldebaran, Andromeda, Orion, even Betelgeuse (or Beetlejuice as the Americans call it) - but my Pleiadian friends are the least “alien” of all - WHY? - because in Malaysia we call them Orang Asli!
Yes... the indigenous tribes of Earth are almost entirely of Pleiadian origin, although a few odd specimens here & there may originate rom a whole spectrum of different lineages. As for myself, I consider myself an Earth native (& therefore Pleiadian) -but I now accept that I may have DNA strands from all over the galaxy – perhaps even other galaxies! This way I get to feel much more of a mystery to myself - which is a rather entertaining state of mind, you never get bored with yourself this way!
THE LOOM OF MAYA. The heart of the Tzolkin is the most mysterious part of the entire Harmonic Module. It consists of 64 units - corresponding with the 64 hexagrams of the Chinese Oracle I Ching and the 64 codons of the Genetic Code. The number 8 evokes the Chinese paat-quah or 8-sided mandala, representing the 8 points of a double tetrahedron, an extremely important configuration in sacred geometry). 8 also represents the Octave. So, 8 X 8 = 64 produces the central core: a Crossover Polarity Zone where male transforms into female, electricity into magnetism, negative into positive, and so on. Which is why Argüelles calls it the “Loom of Maya” - for this is where Spirit is spun into Matter and vice versa. This is the engine of Energy-Consciousness-Matter Conversion. By means of the Loom of Maya, what is imagined by the Galactic Mind becomes real. And what is real to us converts back into the Cosmic Dreamtime.
Now, please bear in mind that the Tzolkin as a Harmonic Module is entirely holographic. Meaning: each atom, each cell within us – in fact, our entire physical-mental-emotional infrastructure (which defines the motifs and patterns of our lives) - is itself a Galactic Calendar, a Tzolkin, a blueprint and a ledger of our days. We are fractals of the Mother Logic Board of Intelligent Evolution, the Spiral of Life itself.
The Galaxy as a whole and ourselves are One: 13 tones written as a recurring sequence of numbers; 20 symbols that represent different colors, different feelings and moods - working interactively, radially, multidimensionally off one another in 4 horizontal directions in external reality; and 7 attentional vectors in internal reality (we look forward, backward, left, right, up, down, and within).
Thus, we have our 260-day Tzolkin: the Super-Macro-Chip that informs the operation of this galaxy, in holographic harmony and resonance with all other galaxies in the Intergalactic Confederation. With this basic understanding, we as humans poised on the brink of a new millennium are ready to take a quantum leap - not of blind faith, but with fully conscious anticipation and joy — into the greater universe beyond the ‘coconut shell" of provincial, national, and even planetary barriers!
