Has the world's oldest mayan Calendar been found? Read what Carl Johan Calleman has to say...

There has been so much misinformation about the Mayan Calendar.  Like many of us, Carl Johan Calleman is a little ticked off at the media's constant sensationalizing, that he felt moved to issue the following comment.   And, no, the world isn't coming to an end... only those aspects that have got way out of balance (and yes, that does include certain factions in the media...alongside all the other systems that need to change). Whatever happened to Truth?  That reminds me, a wonderful author, teacher, and good friend of mine, Robert Rabbin, once started a campaign called Truth for President, back in the days when Kusinich was running.  I think it's time we started a new one... how about, Truth for a Change? Enjoy Mr. Calleman's response...   Greetings! So many persons have sent me questions about this that I feel a comment is in its place: Has the world's oldest Mayan calendar been found? In my view this report is typical of how the media today are working. First, for several years the big media like Hollywood and History Channel are generating the idea that so called end of the Mayan calendar means the end of the world. This is what has shaped the ideas among people in general and a stupid discussion on this topic has been brought to the Internet. After having successfully accomplished this disinformation the media instead take the opposite role and pretend to be the rational and wise debunkers of this idea, while it was the same "media world" that had generated the idea in the first place. In this way they are able to keep the discussion centered on the question whether the world is coming to an end when the calendar does. Serious students of the Mayan calendar of course know that it has nothing to do with the end of the world. This is just an idea that the big media have created to prevent people from learning about the calendar's true meaning and social and political implications. It seems that in the mind of those having written this press release the Mayan calendar means nothing if it does not mean the end of the world: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2012/05/oldest-known-maya-calendar-found-no-signs-of-2012-doomsday/  Is this then such a dramatic finding as the release seems to indicate? Is this the oldest Mayan calendar in the world? Judging from the article's abstract it is an interesting finding of a wall with astronomical tables from around AD 800 and it can with some truth be called the oldest Mayan astronomical table. Then the emphasis should be very strongly on the word table. Because everyone, the authors of this article included, knows that the calendar is much older than this and it is simply misleading sensationalism to make it sound that it is an old calendrical inscription. Most likely it was the people writing the press release that thought they should twist the news to make it sound juicy, since in terms of the Classical Mayan culture it is not an old inscription at all, but very late. To give some perspective on this the oldest tzolkin inscription is from 550 BC and the oldest Long Count date is from 36 BC, or in other words about a thousand years earlier than this wall painting. In fact AD 800 is when the collapse of the Classical Mayan culture began and their calendar system from a metaphysical perspective started to deteriorate. So what is the big fuzz? Well, it seems to be a nice archeological finding, but from the perspective of those that look upon the Mayan calendar as a description of the evolution of consciousness it is of no consequence.

Dreaming Up Reality with Bernardo Kastrup

Join us Thursday, May 10th, at 2PM-CST for an Awakening Zone presentation of The Sandie Sedgbeer Show: Conversation at the Cutting Edge when Sandie's guests will be Jim Self and Dr. Bernardo Kastrup

Keeping Pace with the Shift with Jim Self

Jim Self

We’ve been hearing about “The Shift” for so long, it’s hard to believe that it’s finally here. But what precisely is shifting? What are we moving from? What are we moving toward? And – more importantly – what difference is it really going to make to your world… your life… your family… your loved ones… and your future? In this monthly segment, Keeping Pace with the Shift, Jim brings us information about the latest events and energetic changes that are all part of The Shift.

Dreaming Up Reality with Bernardo Kastrup

Dr. Bernardo Kastrup

What is reality?  Do you think that YOUR reality is your own creation?  Does death merely release conscious, rather than destroying it? Is there a hidden reality for each of us that transcends culture, language, history, and personal belief?

Bernardo Kastrup has a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering and has worked as a scientist in some of the world's foremost research laboratories, including the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the "Casimir Effect" of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). The author of many scientific papers, Dr. Kastrup’s book DREAMED UP REALITY: DIVING INTO MIND TO UNCOVER THE ASTONISHING HIDDEN TALE OF NATURE puts forward a number of theories about the nature of reality and explores the mysteries of consciousness.

Discovering the “Possible Human” with Jean Houston

Join us Thursday, May 3rd, at 2PM-CST for an Awakening Zone presentation of The Sandie Sedgbeer Show: Conversation at the Cutting Edge when Sandie's guests will be Dr. Donese Worden and Jean Houston

Your Health - Your Choice with Dr. Donese Worden (20 min)

Dr. Donese Worden

Frank and fearless, Dr. Donese Worden is a passionate advocate for truth in medicine.  In this regular segment she takes on the role of our eyes and ears, to help us carve a pathway through the minefield of information (and disinformation) about our health, our bodies, and our rights, bringing us everything we need to know to safeguard our own and our loved one’s health.

Discovering the “Possible Human” with Jean Houston

Jean Houston

Our world is going through a time of fundamental change—transforming how we see ourselves, our universe, and our human journey.

           

The world of the new millennium with its unique complexity requires a renewed spirituality. How can we hope to function well in a tumultuous world spinning through whole system transition without re-examining our belief systems? Recent discoveries in cosmology, mind and brain research and a deeper understanding of the spiritual practices of many cultures create a basis for rich spiritual exploration.

One of the foremost visionary thinkers of our time, Dr. Jean Houston is a world-renowned scholar, philosopher and researcher in Human Capacities.

In 1965, along with her husband Dr. Robert Masters, Dr. Houston founded The Foundation for Mind Research. She is also the founder and principal teacher of the Mystery School, a school of human development, now in its 28^th year, that offers a program of cross-cultural, mythic and spiritual studies, dedicated to teaching history, philosophy, the New Physics, psychology, anthropology, myth and the many dimensions of human potential.

A prolific writer and author of 26 books including “ A Passion for the Possible”, “Search for the Beloved”, “Life Force”, “The Possible Human”, and the highly regarded “Jump Time,” Jean Houston has worked intensively in 40 cultures and lectured in over 100 countries. http://www.jeanhouston.org/
