The Seventh Sun - The Mayan Year of 10 Manik
Written by Aluna Joy Yaxk'in
February 19, 1999
According to the Maya, beginning March 15, 1999, a powerful gateway may be
accessed by those who reach a place of attunement with universal - primordial
energy. The events of this particular time are considered by a good many
practitioners of Mayan astrology and astronomy to be precursors in the
determination of which timeline creation will be launched into realization in
the year 2012.
If there was any doubt that this year would be a year of change, the last few
weeks has put an end to all doubt. The time between Winter Solstice and Spring
Equinox leaves nothing the same. In this Mayan Year of 9 IK, the winds of change
have blown though our lives like a tornado, nearly taking our breath away with
the swiftness of its intensity. This past year has lived up to all we expected
it to be. Many are on completely different paths. Others have lives, which are
radically altered. Now with a newly aligned path in front of us, filled with
clarity of vision, activated by the compounding challenges of the year, it is
time to take command of our destiny. The universe and our spirit are asking us
to DO IT NOW. There is no more time to practice or meditate on it. It is time to
BE IT - DO IT, and LIVE IT.
This Spring Equinox, first sunrise for the New Year (March 21, 1999) may very
well be the turning point we have been waiting for. We can certainly feel the
building pressure of transformation. Centered between two full moons, the
entrance into the Maya New Year of 10 Manik will be a year of transformation,
healing, and most of all, the ability to manifest our souls' desires. The two
full moons, March 1 and March 31, will not happen again until 2018! This Mayan
year will also take us into the Gregorian year of 2000. So now more that ever
before, the universe is asking us to be of clear intent. We are going to
manifest exactly what we have been preparing for. Do you know what YOU want to
manifest for the next year and the next millennium? Now is the time to really
know yourself and your heart.
Because of this auspicious time in our history, preparation is everything. What
we experience will be in direct portion to the effort we put into creating
Heaven on Earth.
The weeks heading up to the Equinox and the weeks following it are a very
special time where our thoughts and souls' desire are empowered for the next
year and the next 1000 years! How we spend the days just prior and the few days
past Mayan New Year will be the anchor, the foundation stone for our next
millennium.
We can look into the Mayan cycles to get a peak into what we might expect to see
manifest in our lives with the entrance to a 10 Manik year.
First, the prelude to the Equinox is a powerful one. Lead in by ten portal days
beginning on 2 CIMI (February 28). These intense days are a tune up prior to the
Equinox and thin the veils between us and the manifesting force of the universe.
On 4 IMIX (March 15), we enter the center twenty core days of the Mayan
calendar. These twenty days are the aligning energy of Christ consciousness. It
is a time we can manifest and embody the divine within and in our outer lives.
Living in the Now is not only filled with grace, but is demanded of the
universe. Core days linked with Spring Equinox is a powerful event to tap into
to further our evolvement and awakening.
Rigoberto Itzep Chanchabac, a knowledgeable Mayan Quiche Elder, Priest and Day
Keeper shares in his simple way, the importance of Spring Equinox and the Mayan
Haab New Year.
"According to our experiences of the MAYA COSMOVISION, the time of the Equinox
is the time of the astral commemoration when "Jun Wukub Ajp' IXbalam kij"
descends into the underworld after his son who has beaten the owners of the
underworld. We know very well that for the world or spiritual universe, there
was a big battle before the spiritual, material world could take form. It was
necessary, this big fight between the light and darkness. The Equinox is a
signal that reminds us of that date for eternity, that moment, when the day has
become longer than the nights. We know the New Year has arrived and is a day of
commemoration for the Haab. We call this day Nim Luj A Wasil kij. It is the day
our Grandfathers dreamed and expected to see the hero descend into the
underworld, in a shape like a pyramid, with his head decorated with many
feathers, with all the colors of the rainbow. That was the beginning of the
light. Since then our ancestors have built temples in the pyramid shape and this
was the beginning of the tradition of temple building. But today, almost nobody
knows about this historical event."
Outlined in the book Mayan Pleiadian Cosmology, a Manik year will be a time to
build and deepen relationships, but we are reminded to allow special time to be
alone. In a Manik year we will be given space to heal the need for outer
security and to finally realize that the only true security comes from within.
When we learn to be comfortable with our own individuality and heal the need for
outer security, the energy of Manik will open the world to us. World travel and
embarking on bold new adventures will be in store for us. We will discover that
Earth is our home - not just a state or country.
We will rediscover the joys of living simply, unencumbered with possessions and
boundaries. Learning to release all material will lighten the load, freeing our
spirit to roam new territory of the inner/outer worlds. We may desire to live
unconventional lifestyles and have creative relationships, both business and
personal.
Manik is peaceful, inspiring, and generous. Our heightened intuition will help
us be more sensitive to the concerns of others. Service will be a key word this
coming year. Manik will activate our visionary foresight, and help us to
unquestionably follow our instincts, feelings and reasoning abilities, making it
an awesome year to solve long standing problems with the environment,
relationships, and government.
Manik is bold, and will not hesitate to confront a situation that is out of
integrity. We will have no hesitation speaking our minds on controversial
subjects, yet we will allow others their position on the issues. It will be a
year where we can work together in harmony in spite of different opinions.
Building self-esteem, learning to complete projects, not just start them, could
be issues prevalent this year. Less is more in a Manik year, so learn to pace
yourself and not to take on too many projects at once. Use emotion and
excitement to fuel your projects. This will help insure you have the energy to
complete what you start. Pay close attention to distractions, as they may become
key issues this year. We need to ask ourselves if we are using distractions to
resist growth. Be open and shift your perspectives often.
Manik is a West year, the direction where light enters darkness. West is a calm
and peaceful place of repose. It is where we lose our ego to merge with a
greater whole. In a 10 year, spirit's intention becomes physical form. What the
mind's eye sees will magically manifest. We can effortlessly collect whatever we
need to create our vision. What is focused on is magically manifested, as long
as we have direction and remain focused.





A steadily quickening flow of earth changes has become so apparent in 1995 that
even traditional media are paying attention. Earth transformation was the cause
of celebration of the Harmonic Convergence initiated by Jose & Lloydine
Arguelles in August, 1987, and the Time Shift on July 26, 1992. The Time Shift
marked the time in history when the planet entered a new sequencing of energy
that after a magnetic pole shift in 2000, will be complete in December, 2012.
With the energy sequencing complete in 2012, Timeship Earth will launch her
voyage into fourth dimensional time in 2013.
The map of planetary transformation into a new dimensional time stream was
plotted in the Mayan calendar and interpreted by Jose & Lloydine in the
Dreamspell. In the 1950s, Euro-American astronomers ran headlong into the
stunning reality that Native Americans were masters of a sophisticated astronomy
previously unrecognized. Since the New World was conquered, the Europeans had
believed that Native Americans were ignorant of astronomy. In fact, the Native
American concept was completely different than the European and thus not
recognized. Where European astronomers tracked large objects, such as the sun
and moon, in direct courses, the Native Americans tracked small objects RELATIVE
to large objects, a far more complex and accurate system. The two systems
perceived the heavens from such radically different view points, that the
Europeans did not recognize the Native American system as astronomy.





THE MAYAN CALENDAR
Born of Mexican-American descent, the Mayan calendar became a childhood passion
for Jose Arguelles in the 1950s during the decade in which astronomers began to
realize that Native Americans practiced a sophisticated astronomy. After more
than 30 years of research, he is known by many as one of the world's foremost
authorities of the Mayan calendar. The overwhelming evidence of Mayan prophecy
in the last decade of the millennia supports the accuracy of the calendar and
the Arguelles' interpretation of the Dreamspell and Time Shift of July 26, 1992.
After perceiving the final sequencing of the Mayan calendar in 1987, the Time
Shift in 1992 was an adjustment of the annual calendar's be ginning to July 26,
so that the Dreamspell New Year falls on that date each year.
Since the codices of the Maya were destroyed in the European Conquest, the
tables of dates and interpretations of codes were mostly destroyed. The few
surviving codices are still "owned" by European museums and removed from the
Maya, who have the cultural framework for interpreting them. During the 500
years since the Conquest, various Mayan tribes have adopted various new- year
dates and interpretations. In 1992, the University of Guatemala identified the
July 26 date based on an eclipse of July 11, 1991 and the Dresden Codex. The
Arguelles' interpreted that date as the new beginning of the solar year. The
month of July has heralded major earth changes and astronomical events since
1992. The most devastating storm season in history started with Hurricane Andrew
immediately after the Time Shift in 1992.
The flooding of the American Midwest broke all records in July, 1993. In July
1994, the Comet Shoemaker -Levy collided with Jupiter. In July, 1995, the Comet
Hale-Bopp became visible near Jupiter on amateur telescopes.
Photographs of this comet reveal a spiral formation at times and a square in the
comet at other times. Reports of this comet were rumored as far back as 1985
from military sources, that it came close enough to be seen by amateurs in July
may be a measure of a larger timing cycle. The sheer weight of physical evidence
leans heavily towards the accu racy of Jose & Lloydine's July 26, 1992 date as
the point when a new sequencing of planetary time and, therefore events,
accelerated.
Equating an end-date for the Mayan calendar round with a date in the
European-based Gregorian system has been a heartbreaker for astronomers. Since
the European and Native American systems are so different, the only truly
accurate method of synchronizing the two was to identify a significant
astronomical event, such as an eclipse, recorded on both calendars. This has
been impossible due to differences in locations and calendars until July 11,
1991. "In 755 A.D. Maya Priests prophesied the total solar eclipse of July 11,
1991 would herald two life altering events for humankind: COSMIC AWARENESS and
EARTH CHANGES. Shortly after 1:00 P.M., on July 11th, the prophecy began
unfolding...
Beneath the eclipse of the century, that Mayas had labeled 'The Sixth Sun', a
silvery disc shaped object hovered silently above the world's larg est city. 17
different people, unknown to each other, in deferent locations of Mexico City,
videotaped the structured ship...Cosmic Awareness had begun.
The wave of UFO activity continued in the skies over Mexico and, due to the
video camcorder, became the most documented mass sighting ever.
For months, a team of international investigators from the U.S., Mexico, and
Japan followed the trail of the UFO sightings through the volcano zone to Mount
Popocateptl, the fourth largest volcano in the world... Once dormant... Now
awakening...' (Messengers of Destiny Video, Genesis Ill).
Based on the July, 1991 eclipse, Jose & Lloydine identified the July 26, 1992,
Time Shift. Using a day-by-day count, Euro-American astronomers could finally
synchronize their calendars with the Maya Priests. The visitors from the sky
that Jose called the Galactic Maya in 'The Mayan Factor', had made good on their
promise to return on that date and evidenced the reality of galactic culture
that Jose prophesied in his 1988 letter to the World Community after Harmonic
Convergence.
December 2012 is the end-date projected by Jose & Lloydine for the Mayan
calendar. With many astronomers and scientists now paying attention to the Mayan
calendar, much debate has brewed over its end-date; this deserves some
explanation.
Without diverting to the many internal flaws and confusions of the European
Gregorian calendar, neither of these issues are relevant to the Mayan calendar,
seventeen solar years on the Mayan cal-endar is seventeen solar years, no matter
what name is given the year in the Gregorian calendar.
No matter what the number of the year on the Gregorian calendar may be, a
day-by-day count references real astronomical events in solar days, bypassing
the problem of year names in the Gregorian system. The only true point for
correlating the two calendars is an astronomical event, which was identified by
the July 11, 1991 eclipse. It is a fact that major discrepancies in year counts
exist in the Gregorian calendar due to its overlapping the Julian calendar. But
this has nothing to do with the internal functions of the Mayan calendar.





END DATES
There have been many projected dates for the ending of the Mayan calendar,
ranging from 1957 to 2050. The 2012 end-date was defined by the Thompson
Projection. Thompson's projection used a day-by-day count to cross -reference
the Mayan to the European calendar rather than a count of years. This bypassed
the problem of year names in the Gregorian system. Jose & Lloydine agreed with
Thompson's 2012 date. More importantly, the 2012 date works with the hard facts
evidenced by the accuracy of the July 26, 1992 Time Shift. Terence McKenna and
Peter Meyer's Timewave Zero software that graphs time as a fractal demonstrates
by graph the accuracy of the winter solstice of 2012 as the correct end-date of
the Mayan calendar with graph anomalies appearing in the months of July.
Beyond the stargates of this planet and solar system lies a cosmic scheme of
underlying order in which the earth's flow of history unfolds in patterns of
time. Galactic travelers have long traversed the corridors of time and space,
and peri odically visited this solar system. The evidence of archaeological
ruins on Mars and the moon are mute testimony to the presence of intelligent
builders in now ancient history. The evidence is clear. Someone with advanced
knowledge of astronomy has visited peoples of this planet and left calendars as
a signature note. This is discovered in correspondences of world calendars:
Mayan, Tibetan, Afri can, Vedic, and Hebraic. Similar calendar schemes are found
in each of these cultures.
The European calendar mandated by Pope Gregory in 1583 is the only world
calendar that did not intercalate at least two celestial cycles. The Hebraic
calendar acquired by Enoch after he was translated in a beam of light
intercalated solar and lunar cycles in a fashion similar to the Maya. The Dogon
in Africa were given four calendars by visitors from Sirius B: Solar, lunar,
Venu sian, and civil. The Tibetan calendar is so similar to the Mayan that
traditional scholars now speculate that they share a common origin. The Vedic
calendar is based on cosmic cycles, or Yugas. An ancient Hindu astrology used 27
houses of 13 degrees 20 minutes, which are key numbers in the Mayan calendar.
These calendars provided a time management tool that synchronized planetary
cycles with visits from the stars. The Dogon calendar identified the 12 or 13th
Century as the date of last visit; the Mayan calendar identified July 11, 1991,
as an upcoming date of visit. Both of these dates coincided with significant
planetary cycles.
The cultures visited by the Galactic Maya were shamanic. Ancient Hebraic
instructions for building altars and using precious and semiprecious stones are
identical to those used by Native Americans. The ancient Tibetans were shamanic.
The Dogon and Maya are shamanic. The Galactic Maya were shamanic.
Ancient Hebraic instructions for building altars and using precious and
semiprecious stones are identical to those used by Native Americans. The ancient
Tibetans were shamanic. The Galactic Maya were shamans of planetary sciences,
Cosmic Shamans who understood and utilized the cosmic flow of events. Their
secrets were left with shaman in cultures who held the keys of their sciences.
Until now the shaman's craft has appeared as superstition that scattered before
the power of European-based science. But that same science has now brought
planet to her knees in destruction of the biosphere.





NOW IS THE TIME
The Cosmic Shaman of galactic culture returned from the sky on July 11, 1991 to
signal the time. Dialogs with extraterrestrials and those they came to awaken
contain many keys that unlock the calendars and heal the planet. One of the keys
came out of an extraterrestrial contact when the contactee asked how the craft
operated. He was told that the extraterrestrial craft operated on the principles
of sequences per cycle. That's a pretty good definition of time and ties into
the reports that many ETs are time travelers.
The premise of the Mayan calendar was sequences and cycles in planetary and
galactic events. The Dreamspell is a galactic-solar calendar of cosmic
relationships as they relate to planets and life forms. The Mayan concept of
time was radically different than the European and particularly the
Euro-American with its growing perception of time as a digital readout. The
Mayan calendar was a self evidencing model of reality that encompassed an array
of sequences and cycles. The Dreamspell, evolved from the Mayan calendar, crests
the timewave in a magniflcent solar spiral Timeship Earth 2013.





CALENDAR SPIRALS
Sequences and cycles are readily described as spirals in the Dreamspell and
sacred geometries. The numbers of the Pythagorean Lambdoma are 1, 1, 1, 1 an 1,
2, 3, 4. This is an obvious sequencing that can be understood in cycles. The
Fibonacci spiral is fundame tal to all life forms. The Fibonacci is a simple
matrix that starts with 1 then adds 1 to get a sum of 2 the adds the previous
number back into itself to get a sum of 3 (I +2=3) then repeats that sequence to
get a ne sum of 5 (3+2=5). Primary numbers of the Fibonacci on the number 1
carried to 13 places are: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233.
Solar systems are designed by nature in Fibonacci spirals as are human hands,
sunflowers, and shells. This sequencing is a fundamental design tool of Creation
Spectacular patterns are found by applying the Fibonacci spiral to key numbers
of the Mayan calendar: 20, 13 and 18. The sacred calendar (Tzolkin) uses 20 and
13 The civil calendar (Haab) uses 20 and 18. The common denominator of both is
20. 1 applied the Fibonacci sequence to the number 20 and carried the sequence
out to 26 places. Then I multiplied each number of th sequence by 13 then
divided it by 18 and discovered that the results of these factors shifted and
started new internal sequencing at the 13th place in each sequence. The 12th
place completed a sequence and the 13th started a new sequence internally.
The 12th glyph of the Dreamspell is 'Human' and the 13th glyph is "Skywalker".
The sacred calendar is 260 days and the civil calendar is 360 days with 5
unlucky days that are not counted. The Maya were well aware that a solar system
is 365 days but chose to memorialize the number 360. Their simultaneous use of
two calendars with astrology arrayed sets of ratios and sequences yet accounted
for each day of the year in a way utterly foreign to the European calendar. The
number 360 symbolizes space in a 360-degree circle or sphere. When a 360-day
civil calendar symbolizing space is arrayed with a 260-day sacred calendar
symbolizing fourth dimensional time, time-space ratios (coordinates) are
discovered. The civil and sacred calendars synchronize every 52 years, so 52 is
a central fractal of the calendars.
The number 20 used in a Fibonacci matrix and factored with 13 and 18 produces
internal sequences and cycles in the 12th and 13th places. With 12 solar months
to 13 lunar months, the 12:13 relationship is part of nature's planetary design.
