Thanks Jacques! Now that I’m more familiar with Chicchan, that’s a lot of energy going on with your Kin. This has been such an energetic 2 trecenas.

Debra

Thanks so much Debra! It’s 8! Just got
this now. You are very welcome. I really
hope it’s a Dream Come True! Already
looking forward to reading all about
it! 🙂

in lak’ech,
Jacques

Happy Mayan Birthday! I wrestled over when it was Tone 8 or 9. Either one seems more powerful 4 rounds later. I am just now seeing a reply that didn’t come through my email, so glad I stopped by.

Thanks for your insights on the locations. The dream has been twisting and turning all over the place, and I believe I have the courage to go alone if it’s meant to be a solo Jaguar journey.

Blessings to you for a new round of blessings. love, in lak’ech, Debra

Richard, thanks for your input. Fascinating indeed! The idea that there could have been humans centuries ago that were much more advanced than us boggles the mind, because most people are linear-thinkers. We don’t have a cyclical framework in order to naturally conceptualize the rise and fall of consciousness which would mean the rise and fall of intelligence too.

What is fascinating is if we look at the time the Roman Empire collapsed – it coincided with human consciousness dropping to its lowest point. One can imagine that under such circumstances people lost the capacity to maintain such an advanced civilization as consciousness continued to diminish.

Interestingly the period of Enlightenment in Europe started up just after Kali Yuga ended, around 1750 – so just as consciousness started rising again metaphysically, it manifested in practice: ” *to advance ideals like liberty, progress, tolerance, fraternity, constitutional government and separation of church and state” [*quoted from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment ]
More thoughts on this in my next chapter.

I think you may be right about all of the knowledge coming from a common knowledge source that reigned during the previous Golden Age on the descending arc of the Great Year.
In ‘The Book of Destiny’ by Carlos Barrios, a Maya Priest and spokesperson, he explains that the Mayans are descendants of a mother civilization called Tula (or Tulan) – and this civilization was located on a continent, now gone, in the middle of the Atlantic – and it was the mother civilization of tribes i n India, Tibet, part of the Mediterranean and North Africa.

Amazing stuff – thanks for visiting!

The fact that the Vedic Great Year and Mayan Calendars are so similar is striking. My feeling is that the Mayans and Indians both learned of the Great Year from a common source – one that they were both part of in the distant past before migrating to Mesoamerica and India – such as the ancient lost continent of Mu (known as Kumari Kandam in India) who in turn learned of the great year from the ‘sky people’ who feature so strongly in the Anasazi and Mayan cultures and mythology.

On the point of The Age of Aquarius – according to Laurie Pratt (aka
Tara Mata), the author or ‘Astrological World Cycles’ – the main source
that I used for my article – The Age of Aquarius will only start later
in Dwapara Yuga, our present Bronze Age, about 620 years from now, more
or less. You can download the file [Astrological World Cycles Pdf] from
the ‘Bibliography & Further Reading’ below the article – have a look at
Page 56, – see paragraph 1.

However, this Bronze Age is known as ‘the electric age’ and the ‘age of
the atom’ and the The Age of Aquarius will start during this Bronze Age –
I would interpret that as being the time when the higher, more advanced
characteristics of the energy will be activated. So, although we have
already seen a lot of technological and scientific advancement and
electronics, these developments happened under the material influence of
Kali Yuga. There are much higher level developments to come, but for the
moment those developments are beyond our reach. Virtually all of our
present technologies rely on energy derived from fossil fuels, so most
likely it will be ‘back to the drawing board’ as we run out of especially
liquid fossil fuels in future decades.

Most likely the “higher mind” communication, including mental telepathy,
and the brotherhood of man that you refer to will all come to pass and
will develop later in the age as well – and all of this is in fact
predicted to happen during Dwapara Yuga, so it correlates very well
with what is said to be the characteristics of the Age of Aquarius,
it’s just that we are not quite there yet… but we are on our way!

Always a pleasure to discuss with you Katherine – have been quiet lately,
doing research and writing this article, which I have found much more
interesting and fulfilling than engaging in all the identity politics
going around.

Interestingly, Aquarius is co-ruled by Saturn and Uranus, planets of structure and chaos, respectively. I interpret this to mean it will necessitate flexible structure within chaos.

Your comments about material energy, such as fossil fuels, suggests to me we need to find new ways of relating to energy, meaning slowing down and being more conservative in our use and demand. For instance, it seems most energy is used in transportation and shipping, to serve materialistic ends. People seem in a frenzied hurry to move from place to place, to what purpose? In other words, I think we need to show respect for the energy itself and not waste it in such frivolities as consumerism and single-use packaging. In Uruguay you have the luxury of a simpler lifestyle than we have in the US.

Finally, the take-home message for me is that we each individually have the capacity to grow in understanding, no matter what the spiritual cycle of the planet.

Having more than one system to refer to for world changes is very useful in the context of this series. In the next chapter I will be using both the Maya Calendars and Great Year to look at present and future material energy transitions, i.e. fossil fuels & renewables – and how that would affect us. I was going to include all of it in this article, but it would have been too long and would have been too much information all at once.

I have added a clip of a short interview with Gregg Braden above (below the post) where he explains the correlation of the Maya Calendars and the Great Year and also how that relates to the changes we are going through – worth watching.
The Great Year documentary above I think also provides for greater understanding in how the energy processes in the universe work.
