Dr. Arguelles and his wife Lloydine further revealed and refined their under-standing of the secrets of 4th dimensional time in their subsequent work, The Dreamspell. According to Dr. Arguelles, a Dream-spell is "any agreed upon belief system which creates a continuing state of consciousness." We are now at the end of the Dreamspell of history and at the beginning of the Dreamspell of galactic culture. This means that we are coming to the end of the belief in the male dominant, warrior hero, fear and separation paradigm. And we are preparing to move into the love based, artist hero paradigm of natural time. All we have to do is change our view of time and open our-selves to the love that is inherent in us all.

The Calendar's Influence On Universal Consciousness: Of Moons, Mayans and the 13-Moon Calendar

At present, the belief system of the 12:60 mental field has created an artificial, yet totally illusory, mental shield around the planet. The rigidity of this belief system is all that keeps humanity not only from receiving the enormous benefits of its presence.

The 12:60 planetary mental shield is sustained by an artificial feedback loop which is a self-reinforcing system. At the root of this artificial 12:60 system is the belief that time is linear. To accept this belief is to surrender one's free will, for the belief that time is linear consigns the believer into a mental trap.

Of all the unexamined assumptions and criteria upon which we base and gauge our daily lives as human beings on the planet Earth, by far the greatest and most profoundly unquestioned is the instrument and institution known as the Gregorian calendar.

A calendar--any calendar--is commonly understood as a system for dividing time over extended periods. A day is the base unit of a calendar, and the solar year is the base extended period.

The length of the solar year is currently reckoned at 365.24199 days. The Gregorian calendar divides this duration into 12 uneven months-four months of 30 days, seven of 31 days and one of 28 days. On the Gregorian calendar the accrued quarter day is handled by inserting February 29th every four years. This is not necessarily the most logical or the only way of handling the accrued quarter day.

'30 days hath September, April, June and November; all the rest have 31, except for February alone, which has 28 days clear and 29 in each leap year.' So goes the folk rhyme underscoring the illogical nature of the Gregorian calendar. By contrast, a far easier and more logical way to divide the solar year would be by thirteen 28-day months with one extra free day.

The point is this: there is no logical or scientific relation between the exact length of the year and the use of the Gregorian calendar to measure and divide that length.

NATURAL TIME

Natural time is a real aspect of existence that is readily observable to those who pay attention. It is found within the cycles of nature. The cycles of natural time continue to turn endlessly. All we have to do is tune into the cycles and flow with them.

The natural cycles of time are:

The Day - The Earth revolves around on its axis to create day and night.

The Moon - The Moon revolves around the Earth through its cyclical phases. The mean moon period is 28 days.

The Year - The Earth revolves around the Sun in 365 days at a terrific speed of 1,037 1/3 miles per hour. When you divide the year up by Moons, you get 13 moons of 28 days each. plus one extra day. Each moon is 4 perfect weeks. Each year is 52 perfect weeks. Every moon and every year  begins on the same day of the week. These are the cycles that govern the physical aspects of life.

To find the spiritual aspects of time, we turn to the heavens. The brightest "star" in the sky is not a star, but the planet Venus. The cycle of the planet Venus is a 260 day cycle. The ancient Maya referred to the 260 day as the Tzolkin or the Sacred Calendar. According to them, it is made up of smaller cycles of 13 and 20 days each turning together to create a 260 day cycle. This is an ever-repeating cycle. The brightest actual star in the sky is the star Sirius. From the Earths perspective, the Sun appears to move across the sky against the background of stars. When the Sun "rises" with the brightest star, Sirius, it begins the cycle of the year. That day corresponds to July 26th on the current calendar. Therefore, the start of this calendar is linked to a cosmic event.

Our bodies are also coded with the natural cycles of time. Men as well as women are cycling on a 28-day cycle known as the biorhythm. We have 13 major articulation joints to our bodies, which provide us with movement and 20 fingers and toes. We are the embodiment of natural Sacred Time .

BETWEEN TWO WORLDS

Do you feel like you are out of time? Does your life seem strange and unfamiliar? Do your old ways of being no longer apply to your current life? We are living in the End Times. "What is coming to an end?" you ask. The old world is coming to an end.

The world of greed, power, hatred and fear is coming to an end. We are all feeling it. Many of us cannot identify it as that. But, it is true. We are already feeling the tension of separation between the two worlds. The new world of love and harmony between humanity and nature is rising. And the old world is declining. The result is that we can no longer look at ourselves in the same way we did before. We can no longer operate within the world in the same way. The new world demands new responses to old circumstances. It offers us the opportunity to examine our beliefs, our lives and all our relationships in the context of a new paradigm.

The new world is prophesied to arrive at the end of the Mayan Calendar (Monday Rhythmic 9-Kin 207 Blue Cosmic Hand)-December 21 2012 on the current Gregorian Calendar. The Harmonic Convergence of August 16-17 1987 marked the beginning of the shift between the two worlds. The Earth entered a beam of energy emanating from the center of the Galaxy. Which is an Evolutionary Beam. That began a 26 year cycle through which the prevalent species of the planet, we "humans", would enter into a new stage of our evolution as a species.

The energy of the new world will increase in frequency and the old world will decrease in energy. This galactic beam has sent a huge influx of energy into our world already. We can all feel the acceleration of the frequency. It is preparing us for the shift, which will occur in our consciousness allowing for the new world to emerge from our being. This will compel us to birth a new paradigm of love, unity and synthesis. Which will mark the next stage in the human evolutionary process and will usher in the harmony of a whole new world.

The Mayan 13 Moon Calendar

To understand the Mayan calendars, I found it to be quite useful to tear into the workings of an old watch. The visual experience seeing all those variou-sly sized gears, working together in harmony, are quite amazing. Tremen-dous attention had been given to mathematics and geometry to synchronize all the various gears to create the correct passage of matter through space to generate time.

The Mayan calendar is very much like the workings of a watch. These cosmic gears use perfectly synchronized, immense cog wheels, based on planets and star systems to measure the passage of matter through space to calculate time. The two dimensional gears of a watch create linear time and it is here where the similarities end. The big difference is our universe is not flat, two dimensional gears, as in the watch. Our universe is filled with variously sized spinning circles orbiting together as a complete whole creating experience, time, space, and physical reality. The planets, stars and galaxies are spiracle, and work together in three dimensional form. Unlike the illusionary time created by a mechanical watch, our universe creates time that is unending. Cycles of time continually circumnavigate in a repeating, ascending spiral that creates a pattern that suspiciously looks like a bagel! It is simple to begin to understand Mayan time by remembering the cycles of time/space of the Maya, as spiracle, not a flat two dimensional illusion of cosmic time.

To understand the workings of our universe, you need to go to the center of our cosmic clock where all the gears or cycles connect together. This cycle is the sacred calendar of the Maya, The Tzolk'in. It is still used by the traditional Maya today's as a divination tool. The Tzolk'in is based in the cycles of the Pleiades and is the center gear, of all 17 Mayan calendars. This is our grand cosmic clock. This cycle, the Tzolk'in, is the center of the cosmic web of life, a map of creation. When you begin to understand this cycle, it helps us to begin to merge with the center of our universe, our personal center and begin to break our ties to finite linear time. When we begin to cycle with the center of the universe amazing things take place. We begin to remember our cosmic heritage. We remember our connection with the stars and the creator. We begin to become energy independent, thus creating a harmonious world where we can give and receive energy freely, not buying, selling and stealing it from each other. Merging with the center of the universe helps us understand reality from many perspectives, without loosing our center. This ultimately reconnects us with the sustaining energy from the source of creation, Hunab K'u, the God of the Maya.

Because we are in human form and live on earth, it is important to understand the Tzolk'in from an Earth based perspective by adding a second calendar or cycle, the "Haab." The Tzolkin is the cosmic perspective and the Haab is the Earth's perspective and are the two cycles that effect us directly. Understanding these two cycles will consequently hook you up to the other cycles by knowingness and resonance. Just allow the rhythm of these cycles to move you into knowingness.

The Basic Sacred Calendar

A Summary of the Mechanics of the Sacred Calendar, Tzolk'in

The Tzolk'in is a two geared spiracle watch. It is based on the cycles of the Pleiadies (26,000 years) but is used in factual form with 260 days. The mathematics used in the Tzolkin are 13 times 20, 13 numbers and 20 glyphs. A interesting note here is it takes Earth 26,000 years to circumnavigate the Zodiac!

The Numbers/Pulses (1-13) of the Tzolk'in are the movement of the sacred calendar. The number 13 represents the spirit, the holy breath of creation. The numbers pulse in an undulating cycle of creation. Each sacred number holds a position, or intention, in the creation process and pulses creative energy in an ascending spiral. When your reach point #13 you jump up a rung of the evolutionary ladder. The Mayas used a bar-dot number system. One dot = one, One Bar = 5.

The Glyphs/Suns (1-20) of the Tzolk'in are the measure of the sacred calendar. They are the 20 Sun glyphs that are familiar to anyone who has been interested in the Mayan calendar. They represent the body of creation. They define, or create definition. Each Mayan Sun name, has a corresponding glyph and cycles in a regular ascending order of definition which is encoded with cosmic evolutionary information. Just as the numbers ascend from one cycle to the next, so do the 20 suns. When the 20 Suns mesh with the 13 numbers there are 260 combinations of creation.

The Haab is the solar cycle of earth. It uses 360 + 5 days. The Mathematics of the Haab is 18 times 20. (18 months of 20 days each.) The 5 extra Vayab days (July 21-25) give the Haab its next evolutionary notch up. Each cycle of the Haab starts five Suns later than the year prior, thus ascending five steps forward and changing the base energy of the current Haab. The Haab synchronizes with the Tzolk'in every 52 years, creating 18,980 individual perspectives for divination. A interesting note here is in Native American culture a person reaching 52 years old is considered an elder. This is when a person has lived through two complete cycles of the Tzolk'in and the Haab and their relationships between each other.

These numbers and glyphs of both Tzolk'in and Haab, cycle together endlessly in an ever ascending spiral of evolution. They work together like the gears in a watch. These numbers and glyphs work together to create the web of life as we experience it. In history the calendars were used by the Cosmic Maya for understanding the position of earth in the universe and the evolutionary stage we are presently in. Remnants of these calendars left behind were intended to be cosmic memory triggers and when resonated with help trigger the memory locked deep inside our DNA. In understanding the sacred cycles of time you have the opportunity to recall the knowledge of the ages.

I have discovered that working in front of the Sun has been very activating and has facilitated in clearing my past and creating my future. Here is a simple exercise you can do in front of the Sun. We all have different perspectives and what works for one person, may not resonate with another, so I share what I do as example only. Do what is in your heart to do, just do it in front of the Sun!

Find a quite place at sunset where you have a good view of the Sun. Sit, stand, whatever will make you comfortable. Take a few deep breaths. Hear the wind in the trees, hear the birds sing, feel the warmth of the earth under you bare feet, become part of the earth. Resonate with the Earth. Take notice of where your energy is drawn to. Where is your energetic orientation? You will find your sustaining energy coming from the Sun. Now look at the Sun (use personal discretion), feel the heat of the Sun on your body. Feel the light filling every cell of your body. Consciously draw in the light and the heat. Recognize the sun as a friend, feel it recognize you. Resonate with the Sun. Remember the Sun is light and light is information so be aware of the incoming light.

At this point I use various forms of a prayer. The first part was inspired by Hunbatz Men, a Mayan daykeeper and elder. The second part was given to me during an incredible overnight stay at Palenque Mexico, in one of my favorite Mayan temples, the Temple of the Sun. Feel free to change it anyway you feel is appropriate for you.

Look here Father Sun,
It is me, a piece of the Sun.
I have come to you to understand
the meaning of the cosmos.
I ask I be allowed to go inside your memory
for I desire to remember.
I want to understand everything again.
I need this knowledge for the future,
so I may walk in harmony with the earth
and the stars once again.

I am the eyes that see as the creator sees.
I am the ears that hear as the creator hears.
I am the mind that knows as the creator knows.
I am the heart that feels as the creator feels.
I am the voice that speaks as the creator speaks.
I am the souls that remembers as the creator remembers.
As in you, so in me
I am now, and I am here.

This prayer opens up the mind of Hunab K'u, the God of the Maya, for us to enter into to receive cosmic understanding. Begin here to state your con-cerns, and hand them to the Sun. Ask the Sun to resolve these concerns. Continue by stating your desires and dreams, and hand them to the Sun. Ask the Sun to manifest these dreams. As the Sun is almost completely set, say good by to the Sun. Pay close attention to your energy orientation as the last bit of sun slips behind the horizon. Notice how the energy of earth shifts greatly when the sun's rays are no longer hitting it, Notice the bird's songs, the heat difference. Most of all notice your energy orientation. You will dis-cover it has changed greatly. You will find that you are being sustained by millions of stars that you can't even see yet. You are receiving information from the cosmos. Say hello to the universe in all its expansive wonder, and thank it for its sustaining energy. This Sun meditation can also be executed in reverse, at dawn. "Evam Maya e ma ho" All hail to the harmony of all mind and nature.
