Living the Mayan Calendar

"What is it to live the Mayan Calendar? Most people today would probably not think that they are living any calendar at all, because the knowledge about the energies inherent in time is not widespread. The nature of time and timekeeping is such a blind spot in the consciousness of modern people that most are hardly aware of living the Gregorian calendar. Unlike the ancient Native American peoples of Mexico and Guatemala we are for the most part not very concerned with calendars and tend to think that the choice of calendar is one of relatively minor importance. And of course, with such an attitude there is an even greater risk that we are living a calendar that indoctrinates us with a very special worldview. The currently dominating Gregorian calendar indoctrinates us with a materialist worldview, one where matter is regarded as primary to consciousness. In fact, any calendar that celebrates a New Year on a fixed date in the Gregorian calendar is a calendar that subordinates us to a mechanical view of time. To change the New Year’s date does not change this. The problem is that when we have a fixed New Year’s date our lives will be synchronized with the mechanical movement of the Earth around the Sun.

The alternative to synchronizing our lives with the mechanical movements of our solar system is to synchronize them with the divine plan, which could have very powerful and beneficial consequences not only for ourselves as individuals but also for the future of humanity. The question then arises how this is to be done....
