2003 GALACTIC YEAR OF THE WHITE SPECTRAL WIZARD

GALACTIC YEAR OF THE RED OVERTONE MOON

~July 26, 2010 - July 25, 2011~

The Dreamspell calendar, originated by Jose Arguelles, is one of the most popular of the Mayan Calendars in use. It is controversial as it differs in many ways from the traditional Mayan Calendar and does not line up with the day count followed for thousands of years by the Mayan Daykeepers. Jose does not actually claim it is a Mayan Calendar. He says it is a new dispensation to assist people in moving through the last 25 years of the shift, which started in 1987 and goes to 2013 according to his calendar.

Jose is often referred to as the father of the 2012 movement. He brought 2012 to the awareness of the world by naming and publicizing the Harmonic Convergence, which occurred on August 16 & 17, 1987. Jose sees this as the beginning of an important 25 year period of change leading up to the ending of the Mayan Long Count Calendar.

The Dreamspell starts each year on July 26 and runs for 13 months of 28 days equaling 364 days. The extra day needed to fill out the year occurs on July 25th and is known as the day out of time. Jose’s calendar ignores the extra day in leap year. The Dreamspell calendar began in 1987 and ends on July 25th, 2013, again differing from the commonly accepted ending date of December 21, 2012. So, the calendar has its own unique features which vary greatly from the traditional Mayan Calendar. It is a very popular calendar used worldwide and people who use it seem to like it and benefit from using it.

MAYAN DAYKEEPING

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.

The 17 different calendars are actual cycling maps, teaching the understanding of the energy lines of the cosmic web of creation, the web of life. They are cycles of time based on the cosmos that work together like, the, gears of a watch. Each connects with the central sacred cycle, "Tzolk'in", a Pleiadian cycle. As they circumnavigate, they synchronize to "day one, month one 11, thus creating 11-11, and an energy portal. When the cosmic web is understood and experienced, we become omni perspective and total cosmic remembrance and inter dimensional travel are possible.

When we, work with the sacred calendar, "Tzolk'in", and its 20 cosmically encoded Sun glyphs, we find help in discovering our own unique personal perspective. When each human being lives from their total individual perspective, instead of only being a reflection of another person's reality, we being to live in our total integrity, fulfilling our solar destiny. When working with the Tzolk'in we begin to cycle with the Pleiades, the energetic centre of our galaxy, instead of being programmed by a linear society. This helps activate cosmic remembrance, locked deep inside the centre of every cell of our bodies, within our DNA. The Tzolk'in also expands our perspective into what the Cosmic Maya call omni perspective where one can see from many views and stay centred in one's personal perspective. The Maya have said that this is an important step toward oneness and a peaceful non-judgmental world. When one can see from many perspectives it is impossible to judge anything. This will create peace and allowance within humankind for all life. We actually realize and become a beautiful part of a much larger whole. Ultimately this will lead each of us to energy independence and reconnection with the source of creation as we tap into the sustaining energy of Hunab K'u. When we live and merge personal a perspective with omni perspective, we create a completely harmonious world.

2012 Unlimited philosophy

http://www.2012.com.au/unlimited.html

1. Humanity and Planet Earth are currently going through a huge change or shift in consciousness and reality perception.

2. The Mayan civilization of Central America was and is the most advanced in relation to time-science knowledge. Their main calendar is the most accurate on the planet. It has never erred. They actually have 22 calendars in total, covering the many timing cycles in the Universe and Solar System. Some of these calendars are yet to be revealed.

3. The Mayan fifth world finished in 1987. The sixth world starts in 2012. So we are currently "between worlds". This time is called the "Apocalypse" or revealing. This means the real truth will be revealed. It is also the time for us to work through "our stuff" individually and collectively.

4. The Mayan sixth world is actually blank. This means it is up to us, as co-creators, to start creating the new world and civilization we want now.

5. The Mayans also say that by 2012-

- we will have gone beyond technology as we know it.

- we will have gone beyond time and money.

- we will have entered the fifth dimension after passing through the fourth dimension

- Planet Earth and the Solar System will come into galactic synchronization with the rest of the Universe.

- Our DNA will be "upgraded" (or reprogrammed) from the centre of our galaxy. (Hunab Ku)

"Everbody on this planet is mutating. Some are more conscious of it than others. But everyone is doing it" - Extraterrestrial Earth Mission.

6. In 2012 the plane of our Solar System will line up exactly with the plane of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. This cycle has taken 26,000 years to complete. Virgil Armstrong also says that two other galaxies will line up with ours at the same time. A cosmic event!

7. Time is actually speeding up (or collapsing). For thousands of years the Schumann Resonance or pulse (heartbeat) of Earth has been 7.83 cycles per second, The military have used this as a very reliable reference. However, since 1980 this resonance has been slowly rising. It is now over 12 cycles per second! This mean there is the equalivant of less than 16 hours per day instead of the old 24 hours.

8. During the Apocalypse or the time "between worlds" many people will be going through many personal changes. The changes will be many and varied. It is all part of what we came here to learn or experience. Examples of change could be- relationships coming to an end, change of residence or location, change of job or work, shift in attitude or thinking etc.

9. Remember, in any given moment we are making small and large decisions. Each decision is based on LOVE or FEAR. Choose love, follow your intuition, not intellect and follow your passion or "burning inner desire." Go with the flow.

10. Thought forms are very important and affect our everyday life. We create our reality with thought forms. If we think negative thoughts of others this is what we attract. If we think positive thoughts we will attract positive people and events. So be aware of your thoughts and eliminate the unnecessary negative or judgemental ones.

11. Be aware that most of the media is controlled by just a few. Use discernment! Look for the hidden agendas. Why is this information being presented to you? What is "their" real agenda? Is it a case of problem­reaction­solution? Do "they" create a problem so that "we" react and ask for a fix, then "they" offer their solution? The "solution is what "they" really wanted in the first place.

12. Remember almost nothing happens by accident. Almost all "events" are planned by some agency or other. Despite this, it is a very exciting time to be alive!

The truth shall set you free!

PERSONAL GALACTIC SIGNATURE

Your personal Galactic Signature is a combination of:

One out of a four day cycle COLOUR

One out of a thirteen day cycle TONE

One out of a 20 day cycle TRIBE

Every day is unique. It takes 52 years for the same interaction of TONE, TRIBE and DAY OF THE MONTH to repeat.

However the Mayan Calendar is 260 days long, so your TONE and TRIBE combination will appear once every 260 days. This is a significant day for you.

Each Galactic Signature combination has:

1. an oracle affirmation associated with it

2. a permanent place on the Mayan Tzolkin (one out of 260 days - known as a KIN day)

3. belonging to one particular sector of the Tzolkin (known as a castle)

4. a numbered part of a particular wavespell (one out of thirteen)

5. a record of the position in a lunar cycle of 28 days

6. influenced by a Harmonic (how many groups of four day cycles have preceeded)

7. one significant guide which aids you (more advanced work gives you more to work with)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - to be obtained and worked with

COLOUR - day, direction , element, ability, action

TONE - ability, quality of power, function

TRIBE - action, creative power, function

All information gained by studying, aids one in the area towards understanding, utilizing and understanding:

13 Moons of Peace - the return to the lunar calendar

13 year cycle - returning towards 2012 and the process of guiding TIMESHIP EARTH

To know your Galactic Signature will support your role as a planetary kin becvause is shows how a particular tribe and tone influences and guides your life.

There are various associations that you can make with others who also know their own Galactic Signature:

1. Same colour of the 4 day Earth Energy Cycle (three of them)

2. Same tone of the 13 Tones of the Galactic cycle Cycle (thirteen of them)

3. Same tribe of the 20 Solar Cycle Tribes

4. Same family combination of COLOUR-TONE-TRIBE

The symbols shown below represent the 20 day-names and are identified with their Yucatec names, pronunciation and approximate translation. The name, meaning and symbol can vary in different Maya languages. Also, each day can be represented with more elaborate glyphs known as "Head Variants" - a formal writing system which can be loosely compared to our script alphabet versus our print alphabet.

THE AZTEC CALENDAR

This is the Aztec Calendar, perhaps the most famous symbol of Mexico

Historically, the Aztec name for the huge basaltic monolith is Cuauhxicalli Eagle Bowl, but it is universally known as the Aztec Calendar or Sun Stone.

AZTEC VS. MAYAN CALEDARS

The Aztec Calendar was basically similar to that of the Maya. The ritual day cycle was called Tonalpohualli and was formed, as was the Mayan Tzolkin, by the concurrence of a cycle of numerals 1 through 13 with a cycle of 20 day names, many of them similar to the day names of the Maya.

Where the Aztec differed most significantly from the Maya was in their more primitive number system and in their less precise way of recording dates. Normally, they noted only the day on which an event occurred and the name of the current year. This is ambiguous, since the same day, as designated in the way mentioned above, can occur twice in a year. Moreover, years of the same name recur at 52-year intervals, and Spanish colonial annals often disagree as to the length of time between two events. Other discrepancies in the records are only partially explained by the fact that different towns started their year with different months. The most widely accepted correlation of the calendar of Tenochtitl‡n with the Christian Julian calendar is based on the entrance of CortŽs into that city on November 8, 1519, and on the surrender of CuauhtŽmoc on August 13, 1521. According to this correlation, the first date was a day 8 Wind, the ninth day of the month Quecholli, in a year 1 Reed, the 13th year of a cycle.

The Mexicans, as all other Meso-Americans, believed in the periodic destruction and re-creation of the world. The "Calendar Stone" in the Museo Nacional de Antropolog’a (National Museum of Anthropology) in Mexico City depicts in its central panel the date 4 Ollin (movement), on which they anticipated that their current world would be destroyed by earthquake, and within it the dates of previous holocausts: 4 Tiger, 4 Wind, 4 Rain, and 4 Water.

The Aztec calendar kept two different aspects of time; tonalpohualli and xiuhpohualli. Each of these systems had a different purpose.

The tonalpohualli was the 'counting of days.' It originated by ancient peoples observing that the sun, crossed a certain zenith point near the Mayan city of Copan, every 260 days. So this first system is arranged in a 260-day cycle. These 260 days were then broken up into 20 periods, with each period containing 13 days, called trecenas. Each period was given the name of something that was then shown by a hieroglyphic sign, and each trecena was given a number 1-13. Each trecena is also thought to have a god or deity presiding over each of the trecena. They kept these counts in tonalamatls, screenfold books made from bark paper.

The Aztecs used this as a religious calendar. Priests used the calendar to determine luck days for such activities as sowing crops, building houses, and going to war.

The xiuhpohualli was the 'counting of the years.' This calendar was kept on a 365-day solar count. This was also the agricultural and ceremonial calendar of the Aztec state. It was divided into 18 periods, with each period containing 20 days, called veintenas. This left five days that were not represented. These were called "nemontemi." These were the five transition days between the old and the new year, and were considered days of nothing. This was a time of festivals. People came to the festivals with their best clothes on, and took part in singing and dancing. This is also when the priest would preform sacrifices, most of these sacrifices were human, but others were preformed on animals and fruit.

The solar year was the basis for the civil calendar by which the Mexicas (Aztecs) determined the myriad ceremonies and rituals linked to agricultural cycles. The calendar was made up of 18 months, each lasting 20 days. The months were divided into four five-day weeks. The year was rounded out to 365 days by the addition of the five-day nemontemi (empty days), an omnious period marked by the cessation of normal activities and general abstinence. The correlation of dates in the Gregorian calendar is uncertain, although most authors on the subject affix the beginning of the Aztec year to early Febuary. A variety of sources were consulted in developing the following chart of some of the ritualistic activities associated with each month.

Many of the Aztecs' religious ceremonies, including frequent human sacrifices, were performed atthe Great Temple, located in the center of their capital city of Tenochtitlan.

The Center of the Disc - Tonatiuh

Tonatiuh's Face is the face of the sun, Lord of Heaven, around which takes place all daily and periodic phenomena. The crown, nose-pendant, ear-rings and necklace are magnificent, as must be the ornaments characteristic of this deity. The hair is blond, due to the golden appearance of the sun. The wrinkles on the face show age and maturity. And the tongue, stuck out is the form of an obsidian knife, indicates that the deity demands to be fed with blood and human hearts.

First Ring - from Center. Four Olin representing the Earthquake Epoch or Sun. The four epochs represented inside the square portions of this symbol correspond to the four previous epochs also called suns.

Second Ring - The second ring from the center is composed of 20 named days contained in one month, also used for naming years. Each year starts on one of four of these 20 days.
