lasts years, raising the fear of a polar shift attached to the precession of the equinoxes.

I wont make a quote here; I remember this for the lessons of American History that I took at the Champagnat
High School in Bogota, Colombia; but for more information I clearly remember that Augusto Montenegro was
the author of our American History main reference book, Historia de Amrica.
This document contains an adivinatory calendar of 260 days, with a similar structure used by the Mayan
Tzolkin.
can be associated with the golden color. On top of the main square we can see
the notation for the number 4, for instance.
Performing the glyphs was a way of understanding the cosmos and the essence
of living things. The Mayans used the glyphs to tell stories, to write the
prophecies for the generations to come9, to codify their complex astronomical
studies and to build the calendars on ceramic, jade, wood, metals and bones10.
When entering to the Mayan world, what perhaps calls by far the attention is
their knowledge of Astronomy that allowed them to build a sophisticated series
of calendars, among them, the Tzolkin, their sacred solar-lunar galactic
calendar.
3. The Tzolkin
The Mayans built 16 calendars, some are based on the movement of the Earth
around the sun, others on the movement of the moon around the Earth, while
others are based on the orbit of Planet Venus as well as the movement of the
Solar System related to the star Sirius11. The sacred Mayan calendar or
Tzolkin, as the Mayans refers to it, is a solar, lunar, galactic calendar, where
twenty solar glyphs are taking different positions that vary from one to thirteen
galactic tones12.
The solar glyphs are composed by four color groups, the red race responsible
for the startups; the white race responsible for the interpersonal relationships;
the blue race responsible for social transformations through actions and the
Among the Mayan prophecies there is the one of global warming due to actions based on a selfishmaterialistic society that would be careless with the planet and its species, as well as due to the increment
in the solar activity (Third Prophecy).

The of 21 of December 2012 so called date as end of the world was not ever officially stated by the
Mayan council presided by Don Alejandro. What is changing is the conciseness of human beings that are
starting to vibrate higher, ending the selfish models of living for yourself, for a model of life that takes care of
the planet, other living species and other human beings.

The three most common are the Haab, solar, composed by 365 days on 18 cycles of 20 days each and a
Wajeb period of five days; the 5,125-year Long Count, and the sacred Tzolkin of 260 days, fractal of the
25,625 years cycle that the solar system around Alcyone, central star of the Pleiades. The three of them
were used to synchronize events. Every 52 years solar Haab is synchronized with 73 Tzolkin cycles, as the
solar system rotates every 52 years being the Pleiades in the Zenith, since they belongs to the same
gravitational system, as postulated by the British astronomer Edmund Halley, being confirmed years after
by the German astronomer Paul Otto Hesse.

For the Mayan a kin can be a human being, or the combination of a solar glyph with a galactic tone; the matrix that
forms the Tzolkin contains 260 kins. This means that each day is made of a ying-yan energy, a feminine
information-energy stream coming from the center of the galaxy (the galactic tone 13 galactic tones) and a
masculine energy, coming from the sun (the solar glyph 20 solar glyphs).
We only see the sun during the day, but at night, if we are lucky enough to be
outside a city, we can be able to see thousands of starts in the sky, all of them
belonging to our galaxy, the Milky Way. So the Mayas were aware that each day is
made up of both, feminine and masculine energy, whereas our western culture is
based just on the solar energy and a solar calendar of 365 days, very masculine,
that is among other things the reason why there are many wars in the world and
why our culture has privileged the left hemisphere of the brain, very rational15.
The Figure 1 on page 7 is a Mayan Tzolkin. It is basically a 20 rows by 13 columns
matrix arrangement, where the first thirteen solar glyphs in the first row or
enchanted wave are one after the other, from position 1 to 13, while in the second
enchanted way we put the 14th in the first column and so on until with put the last
solar glyph of the twenty, the Sun, in the position number seven, corresponding to
the spectral tone. If we repeat this operation thirteen times in the same order (1 to
20 again and again), the successive placement of the solar glyphs will appear only
once in each galactic tone. So, if we use the solar glyph of the Sun as a reference
for this explanation, as it is the last of the twenty, it also appears in the last
position of the Tzolkin, the 260, being the matrix array of 20 solar glyphs by 13
galactic tones. We then say that the Kin number 260 is the Cosmic Sun, being the
Kin a combined meaning of the cosmic galactic tone that qualifies the energy
contained in the solar glyph of the sun.
In addition to the information contained in Table 2 with respect to the solar glyphs,
and recorded in Table 1, with reference to the galactic tones, it is worth deepening
the type of energy that is anchored in the Kin, from the solar glyphs. When a man
creates it is again as a child, avant-garde writers experimented with free
association and automatic writing. Let the magic of the monkey jump from one
glyph to another, putting an idea or set of ideas that allow us to increase our
awareness of its meaning. I will take the same order that appears repeatedly in the
Tzolkin, according to Table 2.

Although it is not very rational, for instance, to hunt species until they disappear.
Human beings will not have started a real evolution path until assume their
sexual energy as sacred. This energy is managed by the glyph of the serpent,
which was demonized by the Jewish-Christian tradition, together with the
woman, and declared as responsible for the loss of paradise. If we want to
evolve we must identify why the "inner child" is addicted to relationships that
harm. Has been repressed or abused, is she/he afraid? Once this is overcome,
one find persons that vibrates higher, in healthier relationships. This involves
putting limits and managing detachment. When we accept damage we
increase the shortcoming of the other and start getting involved in our own
damage. Sexual energy is life energy, kundalini energy handled along the
spinal. From there, it contributes in evolved beings to clairvoyance, by a
quantum jump, allowing shifting conciseness from the third to the fourth
dimension, as it happens in the Sky Walker solar glyph, sexual energy that
once sublimated helps to the opening of the third eye. This is the energy that
has been manipulated by religions. It is so important that human mortality is
related to this manipulation. It is vital to properly manage it, and deliver it
with love to the one you love. In this sense, celibacy is worse than
promiscuity, because it is the denial of life itself. When the serpent glyph is in
shadow, conflicts occur and sexual dysfunction appears. Denial of sexual
pleasure or people with promiscuous double life.
Much
of
the
success
in
interpersonal
relationships
lays
on
detachment, leaving the old without pain and taking the new
naturally; the end of a relationship is also a mean to promote
major changes and germination. It needs pruning so that the garden
grows green again.
It is convenient to hold an energy that helps to our spiritual development; this
can be canalized trough the solar glyph of the hand and its healing power.
The beauty of the sidereal plane, the aesthetics, harmony, femininity and
intelligence come together and are canalized within the star glyph.
The moon is the symbol of sacred eroticism. At the level of the moon there are
not healthy or unhealthy people, but happy or unhappy. We must not fight
our feelings, but listen to them, make our dreams come truth. Some high
mountains contain lagoons near their peaks; these water bodies are sacred,
among other things because they allow the presence of two moons. In
Colombia, the high mountains lagoons were sacred such as Siecha, Guatavita
and Iguaque for the Muiscas, inhabitants of the Andes. The moon glyph
symbolizes the reflection of the moon in a lagoon.
If you live in love with yourself, you can share it. Once you have worked with
yourself, you can work with others, share you and contribute to the collective.
Self-esteem is built backwards, Moon to Snake, while collective conscience
forward, from Dog to Sun. The Dog anchors fourth dimensional love.
Dishonesty or lack of loyalty is what damage relationships. The dog is guided
by the power of the heart, which anchors the galactic radio frequency that
sustains the creation.
Between the Cosmic Dog, Kin 130, and the magnetic monkey, Kin 131, is the
half of the Tzolkin. The monkey is the great bond as well as the gap between
the third and the fourth dimension. The monkey itself represents duality.
Night, Akbal, Monkey, Chuen, and Sun, Ahau, are the glyphs which handle
pure energies of fourth dimension. Beyond the sex organs already present in
the Night glyph, the Monkey glyph has embedded three key chakras, basic,
heart and crown, just requires joining them to be a sun. His greatest task is
reconciling the two brain hemispheres, and incidentally, the child with the
adult. The child represents the fourth dimension, while the adult the third
one. The Idea is integrating heart and mind through the communication
chakra. Flow with spontaneity and understand that life is a game. Your inner
child is the greatest Creator, let him have fun. Play the wizard being one with
the creation. The joyful monkey, anchors the power of laughter.
The Human glyph is the last one allowing the transit between third and fourth
dimensions. It is a channel that allows developing the intellectual being;
understanding it and bearing in mind its meaning allows you to increase your
creational power "you can make whatever you think". Hence, the importance
of our thoughts and views on the conquest of our dreams. This is relevant,
due to this way one may no longer depend upon the Plan that was assigned in
the fifth dimension; seizes the power to prove oneself as Creator. The horn in
on the ram of this yellow glyph means that the most important life struggles
are not outside, but occur within each one. Working with dreams is important
to access the fourth dimension, and the cultivation of dreams is proportional
to the weight of the covers. To the extent that we live closer to ourselves, we
10
can better remember them; there are always clues, solutions, and metaphors
of our life in there. The Human arises when the monkey has integrated child
and adult. Heart and Mind crystallized in the communication. In order to
conquer himself, the human has the willpower. In the communication chakra
inside the throat is crystallized the Cristic power, being possible to address
the own energy, acting as a channel. With freedom, self-influences others will.
This is the energy of the teachers.
The Worlds Bridger has two hands pointing to Heaven and two feet on Earth,
the purpose is to find a philosophy based on universal principles that allow
walking the planet with values favorable for evolution and spiritual growth.
This glyph represents a magician's face, eyes, nose and mouth; he is laughing,
may not appear, but it is in the center of the situation, even though there are
several fronts to attend. Find balance to each situation.
Eagle. Power of the mystical fly. Vision of broad overview that allows to
identify where are you and where are you going, with the idea of totality; last
and most sublimated transformation in the transit between the fourth and
fifth dimension.
The ship in which we sailed through the universe in this evolutionary trip is
our water planet, the Earth. Here we are and we must learn
tell us the truth while traveling.
All fights and misunderstandings are based on lack of clarity. If the energy of
the warrior anchors the Christ, the mirror anchors the one of God. The purest
of the refinements is the acceptance of equity in the contact with the others,
on whom we reflect one to each other in the hall of mirrors.
Rains and storms wash out, clean and catalyze the renewal of energy.
The Sun illuminates deeply, we transcend and evolve with his light.

The solar glyphs in Table 3 may also be grouped in rows that form races, having
each one associated a cardinal point, an element of the nature and a meaning or
purpose, as shown in the last two columns of the Table 3.

As an example appears the 14th enchanted wave of the Tzolkin, that from the solar
glyph of the dog (entry gate) goes to the solar glyph of the wind (exit gate). I have
placed here as an example due to it is the enchanted wave to which I belong, given
the date I was born in the Gregorian calendar, means I am blue lunar monkey, Kin
171, in the Mayan calendar17.
The enchanted wave in the Tzolkin can be associated to what in the Sumerian
astrology is the ascendant, the personality in relation to the individual lifes mission.
Anyone wishing to increase self-knowledge trough universal/galactic conscience
may identify what his place in the Tzolkin matrix is, by using the equivalent
between the Gregorian and the Mayan calendars, unveiling his galactic birthday this
way (see note 17). Once this has been done, we can set our attention in the
enchanted wave (14th in the example) where the Kin (171 in the example), is
positioned (second place, lunar tone, in the example); the entry gate and exit gate
are particularly important because they shape the evolution path, as well as lifes
mission during the present reincarnation18.
In the example, the enchanted wave is shaped by the unconditional love of the dog,
which is guided by the power of the heart, whose live mission and freedom is
achieved through the solar glyph of the wind, meaning, through communication.

The equivalents can be found by using a synchronization tool, available at this website.
The mayists dont believe in reincarnation, we have experienced it or we know it does exist.
14
The enchanted wave goes downward in the first quadrant, from left to right for the
second quadrant, upward during the third and inside in the fourth one. Each one of
the 13 glyphs is receiving the data frequency energy or galactic tones of one to
thirteen, becoming Kin. Due to the fractal characteristic with Tzolkin operates with,
these kins may be associated with four year solar cycles each, along which the
individual is doing his mission in life.

The solar system orbits the central sun of the Pleiades, which are aligned every 52
years, as could be seen by the English astronomer Edmund Halley. Nothing is
coincidence, or is found by chance in the Tzolkin. We are part of a gravitational
system around the Pleiades and of a galaxy that radiates us with her energy. The
Mayans developed the Tzolkin as a legacy, to help our evolution and allow us
understanding we are part of a wider community. Moreover, as shown in Figure 3,
the Tzolkin is not something outside us, but it is embedded inside the threedimensional space suit that we call the body, our energy container as well.
7. Mayan Astrology and the 13 Moons calendar
Unlike western astrology, which is based on the Sumerian-Babylonian one, and thus
in the number 12 (twelve zodiacal signs), Mayan astrology has 13 houses
associated with the moon, as there are thirteen turns of 28 days that the moon
takes to complete one global translational year (13x28=364 days). A Wajeb day (a
day out of time) on July the 25th, which is synchronized at the sunset while the
Sirius Star rises below the planet Venus, is added, to complete 365 days and
celebrate a new year. Every 52 years a five-day Wajeb period is established, to
synchronize the lunar and solar calendars with the galactic fractal of 260 days.
