The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness

by Carl Johan Calleman, Jose Arguelles

Publisher: Bear Published: 2004-03-25 Category: Spirituality & Mindfulness

Ancient wisdom meets modern consciousness in this groundbreaking exploration of how the Mayan calendar system represents far more than a method of tracking time. Rather than simply measuring days and years, this sophisticated system encodes profound insights into the evolution of human awareness and the unfolding of cosmic consciousness across millennia.

At the heart of this work lies a revolutionary understanding: time is not merely a linear progression of moments but a living force that actively shapes consciousness itself. The ancient Maya, through their remarkably precise astronomical observations and deep spiritual insight, created a calendrical system that maps the actual development of human consciousness through distinct phases, each building upon the last in an accelerating spiral of awareness and complexity.

Readers will discover how the Mayan calendar operates through multiple interlocking cycles, each governing different aspects of existence and awareness. These cycles reveal that human evolution follows predictable patterns, with consciousness expanding through nine distinct levels or underworlds, each representing a twentyfold acceleration over the previous one. This framework offers a compelling explanation for why historical changes seem to occur with increasing rapidity, and why our current era feels so intensely transformative.
