October 29, 2011 (CHICHEN ITZA) - The Itza Mayan Council has confirmed the addition of two Mayan codices that the world has never seen. The council has been exploring these codices for the past ten years. To prove the authenticity, the codices have been carbon dated back to the 1300’s and authenticated by two different universities. One of the codices is called the Windcall Codex which is 13 pages long and unfolds like an accordion to show 13 pages on the backside as well.
On the first page of the codex, it shows five Mayans doing a ceremony while holding five crystal skulls. The skulls are implemented all throughout the codex until the last page, where a transformation appears to be taking place in Chichen itza.
According to Mayan elder Hunbatz Men, these codices were discovered in a Los Angeles museum. Hunbatz asked Drunvalo Melchizedek to obtain the original codices from the museum but upon conferring with the museum’s curator, he was denied due to the new antiquities laws.
However, the curator informed Melchizedek that there were over 1,000 codices in the museum’s basement originating from a Randolph Hurst collection stemming from the 1920’s. It would take considerable time, around 10 years or so, to purchase these items, so Melchizedek suggested to Hunbatz that the codices were to be photographed. Melchizedek estimated a total of 75,000 pages are available to be photographed and analyzed by the Maya.
It is generally believed that the Mayan calendars were used to record cycles in time. Melchizedek stated that cycles do not care when a cycle ends or begins and that there was no cycle that ended on October 28, 2011. However, Drunvalo added that a cycle does end on December 21, 2012, when the galactic alignment occurs. At that moment, the cycles begin anew.



The Mayan long Count calendar and the precession of the equinoxes end on December 21, 2012. Drunvalo added, “That does not mean when the culmination of the prophecies takes place” as agreed by Mayan elder, Don Cirillo. There is a window of time in which the Maya prophecies can be fulfilled which began in October 2007 and ends in late November to December of 2015.
The Maya believe that at this current point in time, the codices belong to the world because they can provide an understanding of events that were prophesized to happen hundreds of years ago. Additionally, the Maya are encouraging the entire process to be filmed so they can explain what they’re doing and why they’re doing it, due to the world implications on all levels.
If that wasn’t enough, a treasure hunter contacted Melchizedek stating he had discovered seven more codices who wanted Melchizedek to help him get them back to the Maya. The treasure hunter professionally photographed the codices and sent them to Melchizedek on cd’s, who then forwarded them to the Itza Maya council. Upon confirmation that these codices were authentic, the Maya contacted Melchizedek to report how those 7 codices were “the essential pieces of information that we needed. This is how we go 4th dimensional.”
“The prophecy is actually happening as they said,” stated Melchizedek. “They said it would begin in 2010, when it would all start unfolding and it’s still rapidly moving forward and their knowledge is being returned to them right now.”
This is also why the crystal skulls are being brought across the United States, at this point in time in which ceremonies in specific places are taking place, ending in Los Angeles.
Astonishingly, the Mexican government will not allow the Itza Council to do a ceremony on December 21, 2012 at the Chichen Itza pyramids. From the Maya viewpoint, if they don’t do these ceremonies, it will mean the end of life for the planet.
Approximately 3-4 months ago, a corporation with heavy financial backing called Unify Earth (whose sole purpose is bringing unity to the planet) leased the Chichen Itza pyramids on December 21, 2012 for the Itza Maya Council to perform their ceremony.
This event is expected to be televised to 2.5 billion people. After the ceremony, the Mayan elders will speak to the world for about 30 minutes.

The Mayan Calendar Did NOT end on Oct. 28, 2011: An Exposé of Carl Calleman, A Modern Day Charlatan

This post and all it's contents were taken from the Emergent Culture website. The URL for AH is:http://emergent-culture.com.



The world of 2012-Mayan Calendar (2012-MC) studies is dominated by two major scholastic camps—mainstream university professor types (MUPTs) and independent researchers (INREs). This article is a critique and maybe considered an informal kind of peer review.
The INRE’s are still mostly lone wolf types, but my hope is that an association of Maya-Meso-American Calendrical (MMAC) researchers will eventually form so that we can put our house in order. At this point quality control of MMAC information is done informally by other INRE’s and informal articles by the MUPTs. As an independent researcher myself I welcome constructive criticism of my work.

MUPT’s Versus The INRE’s
The MUPTs have but the very driest things to say about the 2012-MC matter, but they are for the most part in agreement about the 5125 year Maya Long count cycle that restarts on December 21st 2012. While the INRE’s predict everything from doomsday to worldwide utopia in the blink of an eye. The INRE’s presentation of the 2012-MC phenomena is riddled with failed prophets, sensationalism, mysticism, messianic fever and vulgar scholarship. The Mayan calendar has become the butt of jokes the world over and who can blame them for making fun of it.
Unlike the formal peer reviewed world of the MUPT’s, the INRE’s have no formal review process and therefore anything goes. Not that INRE’s can’t make significant contributions to Maya-Meso-American Calendrics (MMAC) or any other field of study for that matter, but the lack of a formal peer review system has created a vast ideological quagmire for those following the 2012-MC phenomena.
MMAC is a new field of study. There are no college courses in MMAC so most experts become so by virtue of their independent study. All branches of science start out similarly until an association of sorts is formed to insure quality control. The problem with most MMAC INRE’s is that they’ve failed to respect the most basic conventions of good scholarship and so they have little or no endorsements from the MUPTs. Despite their shaky foundation the various MMAC INRE’s have significant followings. Lay people untrained in the discipline itself, the rules of logic, rigorous scholarship, or unfamiliarity with the scientific method tend to follow who they do based more on subjective feelings rather than on a strict logical and evidence based assessment. There is nothing wrong with subjectivity but, science is built upon empiricism or universally accessible evidence.
Of the many MMAC INREs there are only 3 worth mentioning, the late Jose Arguelles, John Major Jenkins and Carl Johan Calleman. Of the 3 Jenkins is the only researcher to strive for rigorous scholarship and when he speculates he at least admits he is doing so. Calleman and Arguelles are both failed prophets whose writings are overflowing with hyper-speculations, mysticism, messianic fever and sloppy scholarship.

The Arguellen Contribution to MMAC
Arguelles was the first INRE to publish his ideas regarding 2012-MC and despite his questionable presentation of MMAC he did make several very significant contributions to it. Arguelles rediscovered the correct tzolkin sequence and he gave us tzolkin dynamics. Thus far the Arguellen contribution to MMAC is paramount for without a correct and empirically verifiable tzolkin sequence the entire MMAC system is nothing more than a clever method for tracking cycles of inconsequence.
The only reason I can cite Arguelles is because I have empirically verified his version of the tzolkin sequence and his elucidation of tzolkin dynamics. Not only did Arguelles not provide empirical support for his many claims, but he rarely if ever showed his work.
Arguelles had a lot to say about a lot of things, but the only thing of relevance for me was what he had to say about the tzolkin. But I did not take his word for it. I sought to verify it for myself and the preliminary results of my ongoing studies maybe be here, here and here. For more on the Arguellen contribution to 2012-MC please see Jose Arguelles: Origins of The Present Day Mayan Calendar – 2012 Phenomena

John Major Jenkins’ Contributions to MMAC.
As mentioned earlier of the three best known MMAC INRE’s Jenkins respects the conventions of scholarship the best and he is the only INRE to get positive reviews from the MUPT’s. Jenkins’ work gives us the most comprehensive and accurate overview of the Long Count’s cycles origins and of December’s 21st 2012 Galactic Alignment. And he also gives the most sweeping insights into the main thrust of ancient mesoamerican cosmology. From a cosmological standpoint the ancient mesoamericans were concerned with three overriding quests.
They sought to center themselves in relation to heavenly fixtures, they sought to discern cyclical renewal and those two quests gave them their third quest their cosmology— or the order of the cosmos. I highly recommend Jenkins two key books the Galactic Alignment and Maya Cosmogenesis 2012. The only part where Jenkins and I differ is that he follows what he thinks is the traditional tzolkin cycle and I follow the Arguellen account of the tzolkin. And so Jenkins knows only the most basic things about the very core of the entire MMAC system.

So When Does the Mayan Calendar Really End: The Calleman Conundrum
For starters there is no Mayan Calendar per se, but rather a Maya calendrical system and calendars map cyclical phenomena and therefore do not “end”. Calendars mark starting and restart points in a cycle. To say that a calendar ends is an oxymoron. The Maya kept track of at least 17 to 20 different calendrical cycles.
Calleman is the only researcher to propose a different “end to the Mayan Calendar” and he has no backing for his October 28th, 2011 end date from either the MUPTs or other INRE’s. Not that that fact automatically disqualifies his assessment, but it should be noted. Calleman’s first transgression for his proposed end date is that he call his interpretation of Maya calendrics “the Mayan Calendar” when what he in fact presents is his own convoluted invention.
Calleman first introduced his take on the Maya calendrical system in his book entitled The Mayan Calendar: Solving the the Greatest Mystery of Our Time. After reading Calleman I can’t say what his contributions to MMAC are except perhaps more confusion and more reason for MUPT’s and the general mainstream public to continue making fun of 2012-MC
His work is so garbled that it would take another book to thoroughly expose all of his errors, misinformation, speculations, contradictions and outright nonsense. Fortunately one needn’t even read his books to get a thorough taste of his style. The passages on the back on his book The Mayan Calendar are more than enough of a sample. At the end of my critique I have included an extensive critique of Calleman’s work by Johaan Normark a certified MUPT. Normark’s critique substantiates my following summary review. Doing calendrical work requires uncommon patience and the ability to endure extensive tedium, but exposing Calleman’s chaotic works requires hair-pulling patience and torturous endurance. I must thank the cosmos for Normark’s incredible patience. At the end of this article you will find links to other critiques of Calleman’s work.

On the back cover of his book the Mayan Calendar we find the following claims. My comments are included.
1. “For a long time it has been suspected that the solution to the great enigmas of human existence will come from the Maya”
Suspected by whom… him and Arguelles. And bear in mind Arguelles was first published in 1987 and Calleman in 2001. And what enigmas is he talking about of the many that exist. He does not point them out in his books.
2. “My book will explain in a larger perspective the true meaning of the calendrical system of the Maya.”
And that is? Nowhere does he state what that “true meaning” is. Unless I refer to the title of his other book the Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness, but even there he does not show how our consciousness is to be transformed by the misnomer (Mayan Calendar) his insists on using. After reading his hodge-podge of dates, world events, new age mysticism, pseudo-science and Maya calendrical terms the only thing I got was a headache and a severe aversion to Calleman’s writings.
Calleman does not present the Maya calendrical system (MCS) in his book except in the most basic form. The book is primarily about how he takes major world events over the span of billions of years and how he then overlays selective pieces of the MCS and voila somehow his doing so solves the “greatest mystery of our time”. A “mystery” that he does not even bother to identify anywhere is his book.
3. “This is however, not a book meant primarily for us to understand the Maya, but for us to understand our own place in the cosmos through the eyes of their calendar”.
Well Calleman makes that impossible because he does not present their calendar system as much as he presents his version of their calendar. What we get in his book is Calleman’s take on our place in the cosmos through the eyes of his hybrid calendar.
4. The Mayan Calendar is the most important tool for our understanding of what it means to be a human being.
And I ask how does the overlaying of arbitrarily selected events against his own arbitrarily devised timeline help me understand what it means to be human “through the eyes of their calendar”.
5. “This book reflects one of the greatest changes in human thinking ever to have taken place, one that unifies Western and Eastern thinking.
Nowhere is his book did I find what the greatest change is nor what qualifies as Western or Eastern thinking, much less how they are unified in his mad scramble of ideas. He also makes the statement as if the great change in human thinking has already taken place.
6. “The Mayan Calendar provides a common perspective on the emergence of all human religions and schools of thought“.
If anybody can pull a rabbit out of a hat its got to be Calleman. How could a multi-layered cycle tracking system provide a common perspective on the emergence of all human religions and schools of thought? Well it must be because Callemans says so. The Maya left us with no narrative or users manual on their calendrical system. We have only symbols inscribed in stone marking dates on which events important to them happened. And only four manuscripts managed to survive the European book burning jamboree and they simply deal with tables of dates. Everything we know about the ancient Maya is derived from our interpretations of their artifacts.
7. As the true meaning of the calendar is solved it becomes clear that we are living in a creation that evolves according to a preset schedule provided by the Mayan Calendar, aiming at a completion on October 28, 2011.
Again its not the Mayan Calendar that Calleman presents, but rather his own invention. Calleman’s work solves absolutely nothing and there is nothing clear about Calleman’s presentation. Calleman’s work is the clearest example of vulgar scholarship and cultural pollution. Nowhere is there a date inscribed by the Maya pointing to October 28th, 2011.
8. What makes this book unique– and immensely powerful – is that it is not based on pseudo-science or esoteric schemes, but on the established factual basis of modern science.
This has to be his most laughable statement! Calleman’s books are a perfect example of pseudo-science and are nothing but an esoteric scheme. The dictionary definition of esoteric reads: “intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest”. At present there are 3 well known writers on the non-mainstream study of MMAC. I would say that that qualifies MMAC as estoeric and then Calleman presents a story on the Mayan calendar system that no other researcher supports, but they instead decry his blatant disregard of scholastic rigor.
His work is about as esoteric as it gets. And what is the “established factual basis of modern science”? And what would modern science have to say about about a subject as confused and misrepresented as is the MMAC system. If we would all strive to adhere to the scientific method then maybe we can get some respect, but that has not been the case.
9. It (his book) presents a perspective that not only unifies all the modern branches of science, but unifies science with religion as well”.
I spoke too soon this statement is just as preposterous as the last one. Calleman throws together the most ungainly jumble of dates, world events, calendrical terms, new age mumbo-jumbo, religious and scientific buzz words and somehow all of the sciences are unified and so are science and religion. Where is this man’s Nobel prize he should qualify for at least a dozen or so based on his claims.
10. It (his book) scientifically proves the existence of a cosmic plan in whose evolution we all all taking part, and also of God her/himself.
I’m telling you the fun never ends with Calleman. He himself offers a disclaimer in his introduction on page 12 that he will not “unnecessarily burden us with too much detail”. Any scientist knows that science is all about the details and solid science is hard rigorous work.
What Calleman does is save himself the burden of rigor. His book was designed for the new age crowd. A segment of the population known for their voracious consumption and volumnious production of pseudo-scientific mysticism. You can ask any scientist if there is anything scientific about Calleman’s work and I can assure you that all of them will say hell no!
The foregoing is found on just the back cover of the book, his entire book is 256 pages of incredulous garble he preposterously presents as scientific. I have nothing against Calleman himself, it is his misleading and utterly confused message that I seek to expose. I too am an independent Maya calendrical researcher, but my goal is introduce some rigor into a domain that has thus far given little or no regard for rigorous scholarship. There is some truth to the 2012-Mayan calendar phenomena and part of the work in uncovering it involves dispelling all of the mumbo-jumbo and pseudo-science that it’s currently plastered with.
I ask how can any intelligent and educated person believe in the following statement… “global humanity will attain nondualistic enlightened consciousness by the end of October 2011. It will simply not be possible not to be enlightened after October 28, 2011″ ~ Carl Calleman
Calleman’s work is rife with contradictions, vulgar scholarship and wholly unsubstantiated claims. I cannot in any way consider Calleman’s work as anything more than poorly faked scholarship. The foregoing is of course my own assessment of Calleman’s work. For the sake of balance I will present a mainstream university professor type’s assessment of Callemans work as well. Please bear in mind that no researcher from either the INRE’s or the MUPT’s backs or endorses any part of Calleman’s thesis or his October 28th “Mayan calendar end date” so I am not able to provide any arguments for Calleman’s work besides his own. That says something.

Johan Normark Exposes Calleman
The following critiques of Calleman’s work are presented by Johan Normark an archaeologist, traditional Maya scholar and postdoctoral researcher with the Department of Historical Studies at University of Gothenburg. I have included excerpts from his blog with links to the complete articles. My comments are interspersed in brackets.

Calleman: Get the simplest facts correct please
“Just a quick look through it (Callemans latest book) reveals that it is littered with small mistakes (apart from his major distortions of the whole calendar which I shall focus on in other blog posts). One of them can be found on page 43. In the text below the photo of Temple I at Tikal you can read that it is the highest pyramid in the Americas. This is a statement from a person claiming to be an expert on the Maya.
Well, the simple fact is that Temple I is not even the highest pyramid at Tikal. Temple III, IV and V are all higher than this structure. Then we have other Maya sites with pyramids higher than Temple I, such as Calakmul and El Mirador. The Sun pyramid at Teotihuacan is also higher. These facts are basic knowledge to a Mayanist/Mesoamericanist. If he cannot even get these facts straight in topics that he himself is a self-proclaimed expert I wonder how accurate the rest is.

Calleman: The Maya Calendar Explains Ice Age Fashion
Calleman: “Among the Ice Age people in the Regional Underworld [...], which was activated about one hundred thousand years ago, we know from archaeology that change was very slow, and there is no reason to believe that they were aware of any evolution of their lifestyle. Because of the slow rate of change, you could wear a mammoth fur your whole life without this going out of fashion”. (Calleman 2009:57)
Normark: Nice to see the Maya calendar being used to study Ice Age fashion… The book is so full of mistakes and stereotypes like the ones in the quote so it will easy keep me busy. [read more]
2012: Calleman’s October 28, 2011 Correlation
[This article is key to exposing Calleman's hokey October 28th MC end date]
There are several major distortions of the Maya calendar going on in Calleman’s world. Calleman criticizes Jenkins for distorting the Maya calendar but Jenkins is actually far more accurate. [I hold the same view] In Calleman’s book (p 44) he places his nine period/rhythms within a pyramidal shape with the largest period/rhythm at the bottom of the pyramid. Not only does this reverse the order of Long Count positions on monuments where the highest period is placed at the top, it also gives a single column of dates rather than the double column in which the calendar inscriptions originally were recorded.
Calleman even invents his own period! Winals are no longer existent in Calleman’s calendar although they are quite common on Classic period Maya monuments. A winal is a period of 20 days and 18 winals equals one tun (360 days). The tun is for Calleman the crucial unit/constant in his home made system. Twenty tuns equal a katun and twenty katuns equals a baktun, etc. In Calleman’s system the tun must therefore be divided by twenty rather than by eighteen. Hence, the winal is replaced by the oxlahunkin, a period of 18 days. I just wonder what two days he has erased [...]
Calleman says that “the creation cycles described by the Maya, including the tzolkin, are fundamentally of a spiritual, non-astronomical, nature. Thus, any theory that implies that the Mayan Long Count would have been designed to reflect astronomical phenomena, be it the precession of the earth or a solar zenith, is a warning signal that its originator is off the mark. It should be obvious that if the Mayan calendar is a prophetic calendar describing cosmic energy cycles of a universal nature then the particular date at which the sun was in zenith in the particular location of Izapa is totally irrelevant for us who live today and must be considered as nothing but a result of a tradition too strong to be changed.”
Apparently Calleman is completely unaware of the astronomical data used to correlate the Long Count with the Julian calendar. His usage of GMT depends on astronomical correlations that he at the same time criticizes… He also relies on the skeptical notion that the Long Count was invented at Izapa and that it relates to a solar zenith. [..]
Calleman’s calendar is complete bogus and I will let you know what I think about his research that depends on his so called “periodic system of evolution” in the near future. [read more]
2012: Calleman’s Contradictions – The End of Time Means the End of all Existence
What does 2011 have in store for us then? According to Calleman “the Universal Underworld in 2011 is what all creation has been waiting for: its very purpose (all revealed by himself) It is when all things are brought together and all the conflicting ways of being, acting, and thinking will be resolved and unified in a light that makes it possible for everyone to understand everyone else and everything at once” (p 87). Now this is exactly what we need in order to find peace, love and understanding (please sense a bit of irony here). According to Calleman everything is separated by dualisms that create conflicts.
The unification he sees is a transcendent one. Calleman seems unaware of the existing philosophical traditions that see the world as already united but from an immanent perspective where the entities of the world actualizes from the virtual that is monistic. Ironically, this was most likely the way the ancient Maya viewed the world where “animistic” forces abound in objects, organisms, phenomena, etc. In any case, those with dualist minds, according to Calleman, will wither when his Nine Underworlds all end on October 28, 2011.
Here one of the more illuminating inconsistencies in Calleman’s world appears. Ironically it is his interest and focus on time that is riddled with logical fallacies. Time will indeed end according to him, on this very date and only an eternal now will remain: “there is every reason to believe that, at the same point, ‘time’ will come to an end…” (p 88). Two pages later he writes that “it will simply not be possible not to be enlightened after October 28, 2011, or at least from a certain time afterward when the new reality has definitely manifested” (p 90, my emphasis). So time ends but not quite… In fact, according to Calleman “we will need to adapt to the fact that everyone around us is now [after the end date] enlightened and has full faith that a millennium of peace, the Golden Solar Age, has finally dawned on Earth” (p 91, my emphasis).
Contrary to what Calleman claims he actually prophesizes the end for us all (although no cataclysms appear in his account). He simply believes there is a transcencent/Platonic existence beyond this one which is to be One with the almighty designer. He fails to see that the creative power comes from within, it is immanent and open ended, such as in Bergson’s writings. Calleman’s view is negative to life since it proclaims we are all destined to cease to exist as mortal beings. [read more]

2012: Calleman’s Purposeful Universe. Pt 1 – overview
I have in several blog posts discussed the Swedish New Ager/pseudoscientist Carl Johan Calleman’s ideas and distortions concerning the Long Count (and various other Maya associated topics). Calleman is not a Mayanist and very little of what he has to say has any connection to the ancient Maya. He continues to spread the myths and illusions prevalent within New Age and attempts to combine these with science.
In his latest book The Purposeful Universe: How Quantum Theory and Mayan Cosmology Explain the Origin and Evolution of Life he launches what I believe he sees as his magnum opus. Too bad it is riddled with not only distortions of the Maya but also with evolutionary theory as well.[...]
The last thing you as a scientist should do is to manipulate your data to fit your idealized model. This book is an invaluable source in how not to practice science. [...] [read more]
2012: Calleman Muddles Events in the Arab World
The Swedish Maya calendar bender/twister Carl Johan Calleman urges you to buy one of his books “if you want to understand the decisive time we are now entering. No book about the Mayan calendar has proven to be so accurate in its predictions and understanding”. First, I guess his urge comes from a realization that his own business will come to an end in October this year.
Hence, you must buy more of his books to secure his financial future. Second, his books are not accurate at all. Apart from some major distortions, such as creating a completely different “end date” and creating a new period that does not exist in the Maya calendar (the uaxaclahunkin rhythm), he has not proven anything and he has never said that Mubarak would fall, etc. He just retreats to vague predictions.
Now, Calleman is a master of twisting and bending data to fit his bogus calendar. [..] [read more]
2012: Calleman’s Purposeful Universe. Pt 3 – Self-Organization
In this book Calleman criticizes the idea that “the universe and its biological organisms have an inherent tendency to self-organize” (p 85). On the following page he asks the question: “If the big bang was self-organized, what is then meant by “self”?” Well, it is supposed to mean from “within itself” (it is immanent). Parts form greater wholes and thereby greater complexity without the need of an external transcendent source (the Tree of Life in Calleman’s cosmology).
Calleman then falsely claims that “there seems to be no experimental evidence that [a trend toward higher complexity] would be the result of any “self-organization”” (p 86). Just check out Wikipedia and you will see plenty of examples of how self-organization creates greater complexity. If you are going to open the Black Box of complexity you’ll need to develop a more detailed critique than less than half a page. All Calleman does is to make use of intelligent design rhetoric that attempts to disclaim self-organization as explanation. He states that “if we mix together the different components of a cell, they will fail to “self-organize” into a cell” (p 86). That is absolutely true and Calleman has proved nothing by that statement. [.... [read more]
Calleman’s Purposeful Universe. Pt 4 – Time
[read more]
2012: Calleman’s 2011 calendar
Here is an image of his 2011 calendar. I guess it is supposed to represent Calleman’s idea that all life is formed in the image of the Tree of Life, a rotating axis that through quantum levels (the Maya time periods) create higher forms.
It is also supposed to include Calleman’s own made up period which he calls uaxlahunkin (13 x 18 days). This period does not exist in the real Maya calendar and it has been created by Calleman in order to replace two other periods in the Maya Long Count. Otherwise he would have ended up with ten levels and ten Underworlds (and that would not have worked with the prevalence of number nine in the Maya numerology). Calleman simply mistreats the Maya.[cultural pollution] Do not buy this stuff. It is pure nonsense. The only good thing to come out of this year is that we hopefully will not see a Calleman calendar for 2012. [ I whole heartedly concur] [read more]

2012: Calleman’s purposeful universe. Pt 5 – Evolution as intelligent design
In this post and in some future ones I will show that Calleman’s model of the universe and the evolution of life is nothing but an idealistic fantasy based on selected data and biased interpretation. These topics will be covered before the 28th of October when Calleman says that the Maya Long Count ends and our consciousness will be transformed. After that it will be obvious to anyone that he is a false prophet. [...]
I will treat his highly speculative and unrealistic idea of speciation later on, which is kind of a “virigin-birth” speciation event. It simply follows the idealistic model he has set up for himself. Calleman is a good example when an ideal model is used to interpret science. This is the way creationists and pseudoscientists thinks: “we have the answer, let’s go out and find evidence that support it (and ignore everything else)” [read more]

2012: Calleman makes sure his business continues beyond the “end”
I have always wondered what the various 2012 prophets will do when their predictions on what will happen on the day the Maya Long Count fails to deliver what they have promised. It is quite obvious that Calleman has given it a bit of thought since he otherwise would be running out of business at the end of this month. His back-up plan is revealed in his most recent interpretation of what will happen after the 28th of October. Earlier today he published a blog post where he says: “I do not think it is possible to judge yet if the waves will come to an end or not even if I am increasingly inclined to believe that they will continue indefinitely.”
Why will they continue indefinitely? Because, when “the universe attains its highest quantum state there will however be no higher state to evolve to. Rather if indeed the waves continue indefinitely this would be experienced more like a grinding process of the world and the human beings. This would go on until the unity consciousness of the Ninth wave has finally been established and all phenomena inconsistent with this weeded out.”
What this means is that Calleman will continue to spread his ideas until “the unity consciousness of the Ninth wave” is firmly established and everything that does not fit this wave is removed from existence (I assume that Calleman is synonymous with the wave itself). I’ll bet that if asked why the consciousness has not improved by October 29 Calleman will claim that the process is not finished yet. He will keep letting us know how things are proceeding, what more has been weeded out.
See and learn how to extend your business indefinitely. It is always good to have a back-up plan. Therefore, Sitler’s response to Calleman’s post misses the point to some extent. Sitler says that he is “grateful that it will soon be October 28 and that we finally will get to the “end;” not of the Mayan calendar, but of the absurdity that has come to surround this date.” Yes, we will get over the absurdity of the date, but not the absurdity of Calleman’s ideas.

2012: Calleman’s purposeful universe. Pt 6 – The periodic system of biological evolution
He continues with more false and misinformed statements when it comes to the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction. The reason dinosaurs went extinct was their “incompatibility with the new quantum state […]. The dinosaurs, which had small brains with little lateralization, may have been inconsistent with the new yin/yang polarity introduced at the beginning of Day 7” (p 193).
Apparently Calleman is unaware that birds are feathered dinosaurs and that there are more bird species than mammal species today? Birds also dominated the early Tertiary period. Further, if non-avian dinosaurs went extinct because higher mammals had better brains, why did not crocodiles, lizards, amphibians, and fish also die out? No explanation is given why such animals still remain.
Most revealing of this whole yin/yang nonsense is that Calleman’s contradicts his own predictions. He claims that because “we ourselves have not experienced any similarly strong yin/yang-polarity shift should however not be a reason for us to deny that they may have had a powerful effect in the past” (p 194). Well, we should have experienced at least three such polarity shifts according to his own calendar (at least one when he wrote his book)! These three should have happened in 1992, on the 3rd of November last year and two days ago (October 10). Did you notice it? Did you record any mass extinctions? Please let me know. The last post will reveal the most bizarre part of his model. [read more]
Summary and Conclusion
I am sorry to have burdened you with Calleman’s world, but for the sake of clarity we should all know who is a reliable source of information and who is not. There are many people mindlessly parroting Calleman’s end of the Mayan calendar claims. You now have something to answer them with.
The Tzolkin cycle chart in code form
In closing I would like to say something about my own work. While I have yet to publish my own book (work in progress) on 2012 and the Maya Meso-American Calendrical (MMAC) system I do offer over a books worth of articles on the subject. The focus of my work deals with the tzolkin cycle, the very heart and hub around which the entire MMAC system revolves, a subject that Calleman gives only scant attention to.
Calleman claims to have solved the greatest mystery of our time, but fails to mention what that is. Since he doesn’t tell us what the greatest mystery is then we will have to look at what the other researchers have to say.
All researchers including myself will concur and say that the greatest mystery surrounding MMAC, is how did the Ancient MesoAmericans (AMA) come up with the tzolkin cycle since it does not match up with any observable process or the cyclical movements of any heavenly body. Every attempt thus far to correlate it are mere approximations, such as the average length of human gestation (266 days) and the average length of the agricultural cycle in mesoamerica.
There is one problem with those suggestions. The tzolkin cycle does not vary, it is a specific and fixed 260 days long. Now some have pointed out that there is a 260 day period between the two solar zenith passages at the ancient city of Izapa.(Jenkins) That maybe so, but the Olmecs who preceded the Izapan culture by hundreds of years where already using the tzolkin cycle.
There are in actuality two great mysteries surrounding the MMAC system, one I have already mentioned and the other one that nobody else addresses or why did the AMA attribute specific qualities to each day of the tzolkin cycle? Why did they use it as an astrological and forecasting system? Did they just invent it like other cultures have invented religion for socio-political reasons or is it based on aspects of reality that Westerners and all other cultures have yet to discover?
My experience and study compels to say that it maps subtle, but empirically verifiable cycles of distinct qualities as per the Arguellen account of tzolkin. Please note that I do not present my work as the “Mayan Calendar”.
If the tzolkin is what I have found it to be then it is a fact of nature and not just some cultural artifact without universal application. As a fact of nature it belongs squarely in the realm of the scientific and it must therefore become a universalized body of knowledge articulated in the most universal way possible, but not so dumbed down so that it’s meaning becomes diluted. I therefore present my work as the Art and Science of Synchronicity (ARTSOS) and as the Art and Science of a Social Physics (ASSP) as based on the Arguellen account of the Tzolkin.
The Tzolkin cycle as a fact of nature is no more Mayan than the science of genetics is British and therefore universalization or de-ethnitization of MMAC is mandatory. I also must admit that the Arguellen account of the tzolkin is not accepted by MUPT’s or the other 2 INRE’ researchers mentioned in this article. But that is due to Arguelles’ Calleman like presentation and that is no evidence to back up his claims. On the contrary I do present preliminary evidence with regards to the Hyper-Day facet of the Arguellen tzolkin here, here and here.
I also provide people with all the tools and methods they need to verify it for themselves experientially. I will not release the results of my empirical studies and the methodologies by which anybody will be able to employ to verify what I consider to the greatest natural history discovery of all time, until my book is published early next year.
In the mean time you may become acquainted with my work found in the Synchronicity and 2012 sections of Emergent-Culture.com To understand why I consider the tzolkin cycle to be the greatest natural history discovery of all time please see Introducing The Cosmocycle: God As A Universal Cyclical Process The Tzolkin Unmasked.
Until the tzolkin cycle is empirically verified the entire MMAC system is a mere cultural curiosity of the ancient Mesoamericans with little if any relevance for us today. In other words the empirical validation of the tzolkin cycle is the greatest challenge facing MMAC.

Message 77: THE VOICE OF LOVE WHISPERING NEW BEGINNINGS
Seraphin through Rosie, 28th October 2011, last day of the Mayan Calender

R: Dearest Seraphin: what have you to tell me this sunny autumn morning in the forest? I am just on the edge of a big city, and though it is peaceful here, I can still hear a lot of background noise – mostly traffic. Even when I am on my bicycle in the forest, I do not hear this, peddling blissfully unaware down the forest paths …
S: Yes, Dearest: it is only when you stop that you reach a place of stillness from whence NOISE CAN BE HEARD. When you are moving around – which as a collective you are doing constantly – there is no chance of finely attuning yourselves to other vibrations. In this case, you hear the hum of traffic – the unpleasant backdrop you have created, another element which serves to numb your minds and prevent access to higher, more refined and less tangible realms.
Removed from noise, from outward influences, and immobilised, as in SLEEP, opportunity is provided for recovery, insight and movement of an INTERNAL nature. These are necessary readjustments, an attempt to guide you back to a more balanced and spiritual path, an attempt to heighten awareness. In the same way, the body attempts to drain itself of the poisons ingested.
This night-time activity, when your active awareness is shut down, runs on irrespective of whether you notice it or not. This is the DIVINE PROMISE, the ALL CARING ARMS which surround you in sleep, as they do during the day, providing pointers, addressing overlooked or suppressed issues, bringing them forward NOW so that you can recognise them more easily and do not stumble over them later.
The motivation for this is LOVE, with which you are constantly surrounded. Trust that this is so and look for the signs in your dreams and throughout your day. In the stillness you will hear LOVE’S VOICE speaking to you. In the chaos and the noise, you can still hear LOVE’S VOICE speaking to you. And even if you possess nothing and find yourself at the end of your life or at the end of the world, THERE WILL STILL BE LOVE’S VOICE SPEAKING TO YOU, WHISPERING THE JOY OF NEW BEGINNINGS.
We love you, Seraphin

Ten Reasons Not to Bank On (or With) Bank of America

Ten Reasons Not to Bank On (or With) Bank of America
Thursday 27 October 2011
by: Nomi Prins, Truthout | News Analysis

Bank of America security blocks a photographer during an Iraq War protest in March of 2008. (Photo: Steve Rhodes)
Charging customers for a debit card is just one reason not to bank at BoA. Recent Occupy Santa Cruz Bank of America incident illustrates how sensitive B of A is to protest. This "too big to fail" bank may collapse like a house made of junk bonds and become a taxpayer burden. Here are a few other reasons why you shouldn't bank with them.
There is no shortage of hatred for the biggest banks. Indeed, the Occupy Wall Street movement is leading a national revolution against these Byzantine, powerful Goliaths for the economic devastation they have caused. This makes it difficult to choose the worst of the bunch. That said, a strong case can be made that Bank of America deserves the title of the nation's most despised bank.
Here are ten reasons to take your money out of Bank of America - and park it at a credit union or community bank near you. (And yes, that may be near impossible if you have a mortgage with them, as refinancing away from any big bank nowadays is a nightmare.)
1. B of A rejects the right of customers to protest. When two Occupy Santa Cruz protesters in California marched into a local Bank of America to close their accounts, the response was, "You cannot be a protester and a customer at the same time," followed by a threat to call the police if the women didn't leave. (The attending officer later reiterated the bank manager's message.) Meanwhile, the fact that Bank of America charges a fee for closing an account prompted Rep. Brad Miller (D-North Carolina), who resides in Bank of America's headquarters state, to introduce a bill to protect customers from such fees.
2. To recoup ongoing losses from its stupendously dumb acquisitions of Countrywide Financial and Merrill Lynch, B of A pillages its customers. Thus, despite massive public outrage, the $5 debit usage fee for customers with less than a $5,000 balance and no mortgage with the bank will begin in 2012. B of A was the first large bank to confirm it would charge this fee, which is the highest in current discourse among the banks.
On October 18, Consumers Union wrote a letter to B of A chief Brian Moynihan asking him to reconsider this fee, which impacts poorer clients disproportionately. The letter summed it up nicely: "Consumers should not be required to pay a costly fee that appears to be arbitrary and designed to generate income to make up for Bank of America's bad business decisions rather than covering the costs of providing debit card services." Banks collect 24 cents from retailers for each customer swipe, much more than the median 8 cents it costs a bank to process the purchase. Senator Dick Durbin's (D-Illinois) response was to urge customers: "Vote with your feet. Get the heck out of that bank."
3. B of A's other fees are just as bad. According to its last annual report, the bank has 29.3 million active online subscribers who paid over $300 billion worth of bills in 2010. In May, B of A raised its checking account fees, which included e-banking, to $12, in line with JP Morgan Chase's decision to do the same, up from $8.95 per month. In June, it started a $35 overdraft fee, even on overdrafts of one cent. Next year, it will incorporate basic checking with a new "essentials'' account structure that makes monthly fees unavoidable, that will not include free bill pay, and that has a mandatory $6 minimum fee.
Last Monday, Bank of America was charged (along with JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo) with colluding with the two major credit card companies, Visa and MasterCard, to keep ATM fees high; in other words, they were charged with "price-fixing," in direct opposition to antitrust laws. This is the third of three such suits filed recently, each seeking class action status.
4. Bank of America takes gross advantage of the military.
It is the official bank of the US military and has branches by or on many bases, which provides the firm with another locus of extortion. B of A can entice military personnel to take out loans at usurious rates. Personal loans made to soldiers for a few thousand dollars can actually keep them indebted for the rest of their lives.
Last May, Bank of America paid $22 million to settle charges of improperly foreclosing on active-duty troops. The firm spun these foreclosures as being Countrywide's fault for having started them before becoming part of B of A.
5. Bank of America is officially rated the biggest, scariest bank. Its stock price also fared the worst of the group of banks (which also included Citigroup and Wells Fargo) when Moody's Investors Service downgraded it on September 21.
B of A's long-term holding company (parent bank) rating was chopped two notches to Baa1 from A2, and its retail bank rating was cut two notches from A2 to Aa3, placing B of A four notches below rival JP Morgan Chase and one below Citigroup, the third-largest US bank. Its bank holding company has the lowest rating among the top five banks with the largest derivatives positions.
This caused great fear for investors involved in derivatives trades with the Merrill Lynch division, prompting them to request trades be moved to the part of the bank with the better rating - the retail part with the insured (peoples') deposits. That way, B of A doesn't have to pony up as much collateral to back the trades, as it would in a subsidiary with a lower rating. The Fed was recklessly happy to approve, despite the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's (FDIC) misgiving about having to insure more risk, even if it can borrow from the US Treasury to do so. Meanwhile, Bank of America's stock price got so crushed that Warren Buffett scooped up a $5 billion preferred stock deal, effectively betting that the government won't let this big bank go bust.
6. B of A's derivatives position keeps rising. The total amount of derivatives in the FDIC-insured portion of B of A as of mid-year was $53.7 trillion, up 10 percent from $48.9 trillion the prior year, and up nearly 35 percent from its pre-fall crisis level of $40 trillion (the Merrill Lynch securities division holds $22 trillion in addition.) The bank has $5 trillion of credit derivatives, nearly double its $2.7 trillion pre-Merrill amount. In addition, because of its inherent zombie status and rating downgrades, the cost of insuring B of A against a possible default continues to rise in the credit derivatives market - a pattern that American International group (AIG) once followed.
7. Bank of America got the most AIG money of the big depositor banks. By virtue of having acquired Merrill Lynch's AIG-related portfolio, B of A got to keep approximately $12 billion worth of federal AIG backing, too. It also received more government subsidies than any other mega-bank except Citigroup. Its stimulus package included an initial Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) helping of $15 billion for the bank and $10 billion for Merrill, plus a second helping of $20 billion in January 2009 after it became clear that Merrill's losses had spiked to $15 billion - in order to ensure the takeover from hell went through and Fed chairman Ben Bernanke, then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, and then-Merrill Lynch executive John Thain could pat themselves on the back for saving the world. The government guaranteed $118 billion in assets, mostly Merrill's, in the new merged firm. With the benefit of the Fed's nearly 0 percent money policy, and a depositor base to plunder, B of A repaid that aid.
In terms of overall federal subsidies (including TARP), Bank of America was second only to Citigroup ($230 billion compared to $415 billion). None of that got in the way of former B of A CEO Ken Lewis' personal take, a $63 million retirement plan, in addition to the $63 million he scored during the three years before his departure.
8. Bank of America leads the big bank fraud lawsuit settlement tally. So far, it has racked up the largest settlement, $8.5 billion in June, to settle claims related to $100 billion worth of Countrywide-spun mortgage securities backed by faulty loans, with bigwig investors like Pimco, BlackRock, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
B of A is also being sued by state and federal regulators for questionable foreclosure practices and a union benefits plan for hiding foreclosure problems that impacted its share price. It is one of 17 major US financial institutions being sued by the Federal Housing Finance Agency for billions of dollars of mortgage-securities-related losses that may require B of A to potentially repurchase $50 billion worth of allegedly fraudulent securities. Earlier this year, B of A settled for $3 billion regarding bad loans that they had repackaged by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as agreed to a $624 million settlement in a securities fraud class-action suit filed by New York Sate and City pension fund regarding Countrywide stock losses. Then there's AIG's August lawsuit, in which AIG wants $10 billion in damages for mortgage-related securities it bought and against which it claims B of A committed securities fraud.
That's a lot of pain for a Federal Reserve-approved $4.1 billion acquisition. Meanwhile, since the settlement didn't lead to a financial restatement, under the supremely elastic (read: useless) Dodd-Frank Act, executives get to keep their related bonuses.
9. Even after lawsuits, B of A would still rather please investors than customers. Investors that won money in the $8.5 billion settlement were upset that B of A was continuing to service loans, instead of foreclosing on them more quickly. Now, B of A had a nasty incentive to kick people out of homes faster, rather than work with them to refinance or restructure mortgages. Two months later, their foreclosure process has, in fact, sped up.
Bank of America foreclosure notices are surging again following a slight robo-signing- related slowdown, meaning they are now sending out a greater increase in default notices (90-day overdue loans) than other banks. The bank has $30 billion in residential mortgage loans in default, which will become foreclosures for thousands of families.
10. Bank of America, despite having been buoyed up by the government, did not pay taxes, and, given its glorious ineptness, will be laying off 30,000 workers. Not only did the bank pay no federal taxes for 2010 (or 2009) by making use of its posted pre-tax loss of $5.4 billion, it actually cited a tax benefit of $1 billion. Meanwhile, it has announced plans to cut up to 30,000 jobs over the next few years as part of its plan to save $5 billion, ostensibly due to the settlements it's paying for engaging in upper-management-approved fraud.
Finally, consider the two reasons that any of this list is possible. One is the Glass-Steagall Act repeal, which enables banks to comingle straight costumer business with reckless securities creation and trading. The second reason is coddling by a Fed that finances and approves every bad move. B of A is the poster child for a Glass-Steagall repeal gone wrong. Lewis pulled in a slew of other banks under the B of A umbrella, making it - at one time - the country's largest bank, including the infamous Countrywide Financial and Merrill Lynch. Now it has $2.26 trillion in total assets and $1.8 trillion assets in insured subsidiaries, $1.2 trillion of customer deposits ($1.066 trillion in the United States) and about $804 billion in FDIC-insured deposits - all part of the giant, risk-laden mess that is B of A.
Without being broken up via a new, strong Glass-Steagall Act, when banks need to find ways to make money, they resort to extorting it from their sitting ducks, er - customers. Meanwhile, that's where credit unions, which are not-for-profits owned by their members and not by outside shareholders, come in. They generally don't engage in crazy derivatives trades, or charge unnecessary fees for holding your money or for letting you pay bills with it, or for online banking. In terms of personal attention, among other economic reasons, the credit and smaller community banks are a much better bet.

GLOBAL TRANSITION REPORT 1: We Are Going from a 3 Alarm Fire to a 4 Alarm Fire!

It's been awhile...Very busy summer..Time to update my followers on what's  going on during this transition of Mother Earth into the 5th Dimension Frequency Vibration. 


Peace and Love to All... Nameste

It does indeed seem like we are entering into a new intensity scale with the ongoing implosion of the Current World System.
After hosing down the financial crisis with Trillions of Dollars the fire is still raging.
On a daily basis I track over 40 distinct news sources, none of them mainstream and I scan hundreds of headlines between my newsreader and my customized twitter streams.
Every source I track, every analyst I follow, every report or graph I see is saying more or less same thing… the System is breaking down and our leadership regimes are taking measures to reign us in as the shit begins to hit the fan even harder.
The mainstream media is not going to tell you the truth because their purpose is to function as cheerleader for the losing team, as a source of distraction and to continue putting a System favoring spin on every development.
The government and its mouthpiece the mainstream media are revealed as no more than a criminal operation and a theater of the absurd.
Consider Obama’s pronouncement in September of 2010 saying that the recession was “officially over”. This was said despite the fact that every indicator of economic health was down, is still down and getting worse.
Oh yeah… the stock market was up from its dive in 2008. But that was only because the FED printed Trillions of dollars out of thin air. But please bear in mind the stock market is not the economy, but rather a sophisticated ponzi scheme that bleeds the wealth from the economy.
“Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes it’s laws”
-- Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild
[founder of the central banking system of which the FED is part of]

Wall Street received interest free money while the FED charged the US public interest on the money it loaned the Government to bail out Wall Street. The Government works for Wall Street, make no mistake about it and as along as Wall Street banks are recording ever higher profits—while the rest of the nation is in a shambles—then they are doing good by their constituency.
Indeed the depression has only been postponed for Wall Street, but what do they care? They sit on mountains of money and control the government of the world’s most formidable military. Meaning that when all else fails there will be war and again the public will be on the hook while Govcorp prospers at expense of hundreds of millions of people at home and abroad.
Millions die in wars and the bankers are counting their winnings and
planning their postwar reconstruction investments.
What follows are some of the most significant headlines since my last posting, The Great Wikiflood, The Intensifying Apocalypse and your Two Choices, on December 19th 2010. If you review any of the headlines then I highly recommend the two videos by Mike Ruppert and an in depth report entitled The Lull Before The Storm: What’s Coming in 2011. They are listed at the top of the economics section and I have embedded Ruppert’s latest video brief at the end of this article.

Economics.

International Chaos

Growing Government Recklessness & Oppression

Social Problems

War Incorporated
What to do!
At this point to be considered a responsible citizen it is not enough to inform yourself. Each and everyone of us should act as beacon and relater of essential information so as to increase social coherence as we go through the eye of the storm and to support initiatives to counteract the disastrous policies of Govcorp.
Please bear in mind that this is only the 4th alarm. The 5th alarm will start to sound toward the end of 2011 and early 2012.
If you have a blog and post about knitting or sky diving then I suggest you interrupt your daily programming to introduce information essential to understanding what is going on and to point your audience to sources monitoring and facilitating the transition. Think of it and present it as a public service announcement.
We are in the midst of a globally scaled transition and we need everybody’s participation in order to minimize damage and confusion.
If you have a facebook or any other social media account then use it to disseminate information useful to alerting the mainstream public as to what is actually happening. Chances are that most of you reading this article are not mainstreamers, but it is very likely that many in your various networks are. They need to know the truth NOW!
“We live in an age in which silence is not only criminal but suicidal, we shall, therefore make as much noise as we can”

I know that unpleasant news is such a downer, but get a grip, isn’t it worse to sit idly by and watch your planet and society get trashed as you indulge in the privilege of living a life style made possible by the worlds most voracious predator culture?
And if you consider yourself a sentient being then you will acknowledge that the thousands of innocent Afghans and Iraqi families who got blown to pieces were your neighbors and members of your extended family.
In particular I suggest that you consider submitting my proposal A Movement to Unite all Good Will Movements (http://bit.ly/OTXN8) to any and all such organizations and to disseminate in general to your email lists, to your various social media accounts and post on your blog.
Stay tuned and register your email with Emergent-Culture.com to receive links to new articles so that you may be kept abreast of the developments that are reshaping our world. Your email is not shared and I post no more than once a day. My current posting rate being about 1 to 3 articles per week.
