A shaman's interpretation of the Mayan Calendar

We have all been experiencing the effects of what Barbara Clow calls the time acceleration timetable encoded in the Mayan Calendar. This translates into the speed at which thoughts become reality, or as we've been saying in the New Age: instant karma. Well, it's here and we don't have a choice, our negativity or creativity will manifest in our lives with increasing frequency as we approach the 2011/2012 end of the calendar. (This allows us to clear up our emotional patterns and become enlightened beings.) But, what I found most fascinating about Calleman's theories and Clow's interpretation were the nine cycles of history or underworlds, going back to the Big Bang, each twenty-times faster (more condensed) than the preceding cycle, each broken down into further divisions of time--days and nights--so that we can compare themes. That is Day Four of the Galactic Underworld (1/5/99-10/28/11) December 4, 2004 to November 28, 2005--the Southeast Asian Tsunami, Ahmadinejad elected president of Iran, Hurricane Katrina, the great controversy over The Da Vinci Code leading to its own "enlightenment," compares to Day Four (749-355 BC) of National Underworld (3115 BC to 2011)--Isaiah warning the Israelites to change their errant ways, the days of the spiritual leaders: Lao-tse, Buddha, Confucius, Plato; to Day Four (AD 1873-1893) of the Planetary Underworld (AD 1755 to 2011)--Blavatsky founding of the Theosophical Society, Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science, or the height of the spiritualist movement in America. Understanding how the Mayan shamans were able to see these patterns and encode them into their calendar takes the genius of a modern-day shaman, Barbara Hand Clow, to take new research and insights and show us the broader picture. It's heady and intuitive in equal measure. I can't recommend this enough for those struggling to understand and adapt to acceleration we're all experiencing.

Finally! A 2012 book that makes sense to me!

This book, by Barbara Hand Clow, is well written and appears to be based on facts involving the ancient Mayan calendar. She speaks to the acceleration of time and the process of human evolution from ancient times through the end of the calendar 2011/2012 (guesstimates vary through 12/21/2012). I know that some of you believe that we are currently in transformative times and are seeking to make sense of it all. Right now, according to the Mayans, we are walking the path "Xi Balba bih" (The Road of Awe) and for those seeking a better understanding of what lies ahead, this book could be useful. This book is NOT a doom and gloom portrayal of the future, but is, as I believe, the hope of a better future, a future of peace and love for many as we move forward into an anticipated leap of human consciousness. Barbara talks about the meaning of the calendar and the message it holds for modern civilization. Barbara gives in-depth explanations of how the Mayan calendar works, the details of which are a little too technical for me, but that's OK. I don't really need to understand the details of the calendar itself, just her rationale for her analysis. Much of this book resonates very well with me. She talks about the acceleration of time and consciousness. She references the time-acceleration theory work of Carl Johan Calleman and other researchers for a better understanding of the calendar, particularly during its last 5 years (2006/7 through 2011/12--like now Dude/Dudette!) She indicates how the calendar's cycles of time match up with important past and current time periods of the Earth and the Milky Way Galaxy. I've been reading some 2012 stuff, I guess trying to find something that resonates with my own feelings and guidance in this area. I had studied the Spanish/Mexican language and culture for 5 years in school. In 2004, I visited the Mayan ruins in Chitzenitza, in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. I was fascinated by what I saw and have great respect for this very ancient culture (in its early days, before it was altered by a European gentleman). Our guide was also a Mayan descendent and who spoke about the Mayan calendar in some detail. As you may already know, Mayans were obsessed with time and were extremely accurate in their projections of it. So, maybe they have something to tell us about the future. Granted, no one knows what is going to happen, but, assuming the authors currently "out there" are being honest, and they are getting guidance from somewhere--well, let's just say that there's lots of different guidance going around right now, that's for sure, and lots of confusion. Like I said, this book makes sense to me. If 2012 and projections of a "new world" interest you, consider this book. I don't think you will be disappointed. Just a side note, though, there are a lot of detailed explanations about the calendar so it gets a little hard to read because of the wealth of details. With that said, though, there's still a

A True Gift!

The Mayan Code is truly a gift! Barbara Clow brings a feeling of clear fresh air into what sometimes feels like a fog-filled realm of speculation and doom regarding the Mayan Calendar and this critical time in our evolution. Her ability to bring complex and sometimes confusing information to readers in a relaxed, digestible form is remarkable. She comfortably integrates the enormous contributions of Carl Calleman's discoveries with the relevant work of other Mayan scholars and her own brilliant understanding of what is really taking place now and in the coming years. Ultimately, The Mayan Code leaves you uplifted and inspired. What is unveiled is the realization that rather than coming to the end of life on planet Earth in 2012, we are, in fact, gifted with a the rarest of opportunities. We are present for the what may surely become the time of the greatest transformation in human comsciousness ever! Ever!

First class ticket to humanity's ascendance.

Expanding on Carl Johann Calleman's seminal work of time acceleration during the end phases of the Mayan Calendar, Hand-Clow's perspicacious Mayan Code ups the amperage in an area of thought too lately mired in uncommonly pedestrian analyses and trifling infighting. Deftly dispatching the too often apocalyptic end-date-of-the-calendar myopia, Hand-Clow takes the reader on an astonishing journey of new analyses, reinterpreting who we've been, who we are and who we're becoming. Incorporating invigorating new thought from areas as diverse as soul involution, new-paradigm astrophysics and archaeology, exo-politics and indigenous anthropology--plus a scintillating dash of her own intuitive analysis--Hand-Clow with gracious aplomb probes the genesis of the burgeoning new potential on planet Earth. With The Mayan Code, Hand-Clow has crafted an energetic cross-discipline exploration of human development through time that concludes with our present high-velocity transformation of consciousness at the close of the Mayan Calendar. If the Mayan Calendar is a blueprint of humanity's maturation and ascendance, then The Mayan Code provides the lattice for humanity's psycho-spiritual transcendence into its birth right as a fully-conscious multi-dimensional species. Find a comfortable chair and enjoy the ride as Barbara in her characteristic no-holds-barred style rips through time from the Big Bang to the Paleozoic to humanity's self transformation at the end of our current era, all the while taking you on an inner journey of self-discovery consonant with our coming of age as a species. A remarkably refreshing and innovative read, The Mayan Code will embrace your mind, soul and spirit, and caress you with an orgasm of transcendent spiritual synergy. Want to know where we're headed as a species, and how and when we'll get there? Get The Mayan Code! Read it. Live it. Embrace the time acceleration and embody Gaia's ascendance and humanity's transformation during the almost-too-rapidly emerging multi-dimensional era of Light. I was still weeping with joy two days after reading The Mayan Code.

Hope for the Future

Clow has mastered an area of study and a system so complex for Westerners to understand and apply, that I was quite impressed with the veracity of her dissemination process. I have read Dr. Calleman's work and found it to be quite academic in style, compelling, and at times profoundly difficult to stay with. Not so with The Mayan Code. Important empowering information will challenge the status quo, the social mind agreements,and the apocalyptic mindset. Clow has produced a work of art that culminates into a provocative and hopeful outcome, you cannot help but feel the tender chord of hope.
