Integrating the Fourth DAY and preparing for the breakthrough of
the Fifth DAY
by
Carl Johan Calleman
A common misconception about the Mayan calendar is that this is about
³something², usually an astronomical event, that will happen ³in 2012². In such
a view the Mayan calendar has little value as guidance in the present moment and
its use is regarded as separate from the actual lives that we live, both as a
global collective and as individuals. In order to make meaningful use of the
Mayan calendar we need to be able to understand its alternating energies of time
as parts of the context of the particular era we are currently living, in which
the Galactic Underworld, which is the one that most directly influences human
consciousness at the present time.
In the Galactic Underworld we have recently, as of November 29 2005, passed
out of the Fourth DAY and entered the Fourth NIGHT and so this may be an
appropriate time to summarize and look ahead. The article that I wrote at the
beginning of the Fourth DAY is however still posted on my web site and may be
evaluated as a prediction for some of the things that the DAY that we have now
past brought along. I feel in two significant ways its predictions have turned
out to be accurate: The shift making the Asian nations, and in particular China,
to the engines of the world economy. Even though this may now seem obvious to
everyone as recently as a year ago it was not. What in retrospect maybe I would
have liked to have added is that this economic shift to the East now also
includes Russia, which in no small way has experienced a growth in its economy.
Another thing that was predicted in my article of a year ago was the Mukti-Maya
unification. The increasing awareness among people in a process towards
enlightenment that this process follows the rhythm of the Mayan calendar. Hence,
the midlight meditation of June 1-2, 2005, the midpoint of the Fourth DAY, was
the worldıs first globally synchronized diksha event, whose effects were even
detectable from a statistically significant way from the random number
generators of the Global Consciousness Project led by Dr. Roger Nelson. Although
certainly the number of spiritual individual and movements that see their
activities and goals as associated to the cosmic process of evolution described
by the Mayan calendar is very limited, I feel there are reasons to expect that
others will join in especially as the Fifth DAY begins on November 24, 2006. It
is my feeling that only those movements and individuals that are in phase with
the DAYS and NIGHTS of the Mayan calendar are heading towards making a viable
contribution to the cosmic process in which we are currently involved. This
process is in Christian terminology called the Apocalypse, the time of
revelation of a higher truth.
One thing that my article of a tun (360 day period) ago did not predict,
but nonetheless has now become evident, is the increase in natural disasters
during the Fourth DAY. Starting with the Tsunami during the uinal of
death the tun was marked by several earthquakes and an unusual series of
hurricanes, including that which hit New Orleans, and the emergence of a
lingering threat of a bird flu epidemic. The number of books about natural
catastrophes is multiplying and at the current time it seems most people are
waiting for more to come. The fact that the abovementioned disasters happened
during a period that was a DAY which was pivotal for the continued process, the
Fourth DAY, there are very strong reasons to expect new phenomena that we may
collectively call natural disasters especially in the following DAYS of the
Galactic Underworld. Thus, these may come to intensify as we enter its Fifth DAY
in November of 2006. The explanation to why natural disasters may increase
during the DAYS may in very general terms be that the world that the human
beings have created is not consistent with the world that the divine process of
creation aims to create and that this becomes the most evident as a new LIGHT
enters. I agree that this may serve poorly to explain the specifics of many such
occurrences. Yet, in the Galactic Underworld logic may turn out much more to be
based on synchronicities than on cause-effect. Paradoxically then, the
breakthroughs into a collective experience of the divine presence may come to
take place in parallel with natural disasters. And as any student of the New
Testament knows the description of the Second Coming of Christ is associated
with exactly the same kind of paradoxical intensification of natural disasters.
Here we may note that Jesus warns against any person claiming to be him and says
that he will return ³on the clouds of heaven² and maybe what is referred to here
is as an energy, or more specifically, as an energy associated with a certain
Heaven, which in the Mayan calendar is a time period. This is the kind of
breakthrough into the divine presence that we have reasons to expect for the
Fifth DAY, and I would like to discuss the significance of the Fourth NIGHT that
has now begun in the perspective of this breakthrough. Although there is some
time to get ready for them the years ahead will really put the lightworkers, or,
probably better, spiritual warriors, to the test.
As usual, the way the Mayan calendar is to be used prophetically is by
analogies with the corresponding DAYS and NIGHTS of lower Underworlds. In the
National Underworld the Fourth NIGHT then corresponds to the time period 355
BC-AD 40 and in the Planetary to AD 1893-1913. This Fourth NIGHT can in
significant ways be looked upon as a time when the innovations of the previous
DAY were integrated as well as a time period which prepared for the breakthrough
of the phenomena of the Underworld in question that took place during the Fifth
DAY ruled by the energy of Quetzalcoatl - the lord of LIGHT - corresponding to
AD 40-434 in the National Underworld and 1913-1932 in the Planetary. Of course,
the kind of phenomena that these time energies are manifesting are very
different as they are developed within the frameworks of different levels of
consciousness; Hence, the National Underworld is dominated by a dualist,
semi-enlightened, consciousness and the Planetary Underworld is dominated by an
endarkened, materialist, consciousness. This difference between Underworlds
clearly shows up in the different phenomena that the time energy of Quetzalcoatl
brings forth in them.
When it comes to the National Underworld, all I will point to in this article
is that the Fourth NIGHT was the time leading up to the arrival of Jesus. As we
may sense for instance from the Dead Sea Scrolls there were signs of the
impending new energy of Quetzalcoatl already in the latter part of the Fourth
NIGHT. This emerging shift in consciousness expressed itself in a number of
Jewish sects, such as the Essenes outside of the established religious
framework. What may then be the most obvious breakthrough of this Fifth DAY is
the emergence of the Christian religion with its message of love and
forgiveness. When it comes to understanding the detailed course of the Fourth
NIGHT and its relationship to the breakthrough of the Fifth DAY it is however
probably easier to study the Planetary Underworld, if nothing else because in
this era there is no lack of historical records. The breakthrough of the Fifth
DAY of the Planetary Underworld in 1913 was however not a breakthrough of a new
religion, but a breakthrough to the materialist modern world. Even though the
latter phenomena are very different in the National Underworld, or in our
current Galactic Underworld, we may nonetheless learn a tremendous amount from
the rhythm with which the new phenomena were introduced.
If we then initially take a look at what the breakthrough into Quetzalcoatl
consciousness meant in the Fifth DAY, 1913-1932, it becomes clear that this is
truly the breakthrough of the modern world. In 1913 assembly line production of
cars began and it is hard to come up with something that would be more typical
of it. As the old autocratic empires - the Chinese, Russian, Ottoman, Austrian
and German crumbled, a range of nations appeared that were democracies, or, at
the very least, modern states. The introduction of the radio, with the first
public broadcasts in the US in 1910 and in Europe in 1913 for the first time
allowed for mass telecommunications. Jazz music was born in 1914-1915 and the
roaring twenties saw the liberation of women in dress and behavior. In science,
Bohr presented his atomic model based on quantum mechanics in 1913 and Einstein
his general theory of relativity in 1915. Kandinsky painted the first piece of
non-figurative art in 1913 and a range of ³isms,² such as surrealism, dadaism
and futurism surged at the beginning of the DAY. The stuffy world of the
autocratic empires was no more. This was the kind of effect that the
breakthrough energy of Quetzalcoatl had in the Planetary Underworld.
Yet, and this is what is important to know when we are now entering the Fourth
NIGHT of the Galactic Underworld, this breakthrough was prepared for by
phenomena and events that occurred already during the Fourth NIGHT of the
Planetary Underworld. The first company manufacturing automobiles was for
instance established in 1896 (putting out 13 cars in that year). Marconi sent
the first transatlantic radiotelegraphic message in 1902 and Ragtime began to
make inroads against the all-pervasive Waltz already around 1900. The Russian
revolution of 1905 heralded the later downfall of the autocratic empires and
especially during the second half of the Fourth NIGHT there was an
intensification of things preparing for the breakthrough. Einstein had proposed
his special theory of relativity in 1905, but typically this was not taken
seriously until experimental proof of it emerged in 1919 and something similar
was the case with Planckıs fathering of quantum mechanics already in 1900.
Cubism began in 1906, preparing for the breakthrough of non-figurative art, but
not making it all the way.
I could go on like this and show that critical innovations to some extent were
created already during the Fourth NIGHT of the Planetary Underworld, especially
its latter half, but that it was only during the Fifth DAY, 1913-32, that they
actually broke through and became accepted as phenomena that were perceived as
lasting. The relationship between the Fourth NIGHT and the Fifth DAY will be
similar in the current Galactic Underworld and I feel the spiritual warriors
that want to be part of birthing the new world of oneness should assimilate the
knowledge of this rhythm. What should also be mentioned here is that the
breakthrough to the modern world in the time period 1913-32 was associated with
two synchronistically related catastrophes, World War I 1914-18 and the Spanish
Flu in 1918-1919, where the latter actually killed more people than the war.
Especially when it comes to World War I it seems evident that the breakthrough
into modernity, and especially democracy, could hardly have taken place without
the collapse of the autocratic empires that may be seen as the main outcome of
World War I. Hence, from the perspective of the Mayan calendar DAY and LIGHT
does not always mean ³good² or ³happy.² All we can say is that divine creation
works itself towards the end result that it is designed to arrive at and that
the LIGHT may have consequences that to some are tragic. Generally, it seems
that the more inconsistent the world is with the higher purpose of the divine
plan, the greater the catastrophes will be. In the Fifth DAY of the Planetary
Underworld the autocratic empires were clearly inconsistent with the emerging
existential, if certainly not economic, equality that this Underworld brought.
In the National Underworld the Fifth DAY had been followed by the Fifth NIGHT,
during the period AD 434-829, which brought the collapse of the Roman Empire
through the onslaught of the Huns and Germanic peoples. This initiated the
so-called dark ages in European history. The early Christians that in the
beginning of the Fifth DAY had been so inspired by the message of Jesus and the
incoming energies had believed that the Kingdom of Heaven was imminent and that
Jesus would return to the world. With the beginning of the Fifth NIGHT this
expectation was however thwarted. Thus, in the latter half of the Fifth DAY the
Church became organized in a tight hierarchical structure and as the Fifth NIGHT
(dominated by the energy of the lord of darkness, Tezcatlipoca) began the Church
Father Augustine introduced the idea of the Original Sin in the Christian
teaching, Moreover, the emphasis shifted from the resurrection of Christ to his
suffering at the cross.
A direct parallel to this scenario unfolded in the beginning of the Fifth NIGHT
of the Planetary Underworld in 1932. After the experience of a new freedom in
the roaring twenties and the energies would be reversed and a reaction set in.
The Stock Exchange crash in New York in 1929 was the forerunner of the Great
Depression whose worst year globally speaking was in 1932, the very year that
the energies of the Fifth NIGHT became dominant. About a month after the Fifth
NIGHT began the Reichstagsfeuer took place in Berlin, which became the
pretext for Hitler to take dictatorial power in Germany, and the rest we know.
Typically, people did not initially take this change for real: Following the
Stock Exchange crash in New York people in general expected a swift upturn and
initially few understood the danger of the rising dictatorships. The Fifth NIGHT
of the Planetary Underworld turned into a great reaction against many of the
liberating phenomena that had come into existence during the Fifth DAY in the
same way as the Fifth NIGHT of the National Underworld became a reaction against
the spiritual hopes that Christianity initially had brought.
It is a similar wave movement of energies that we have reasons to expect for
the DAYS and NIGHTS ahead in the Galactic Underworld, since these alternating
energies are beyond human control. Yet, I would like to emphasize that there is
a difference between how we may perceive the energies of the Galactic Underworld
and especially the Planetary Underworld. Since the DAYS of the Planetary
Underworld meant the manifestation of a very materialist consciousness (since
the front side of the human being was endarkened) it is easy to recognize all
the concrete physical manifestations that its DAYS brought. In contrast, in our
current era, the DAYS of the Galactic Underworld are bringing LIGHT to the
intuitive right brain half amounting to a possibility for healing and a
breakthrough into spirituality. Since, however, the right brain half generally
is not the one that is behind technological advances, there is little reason to
expect that its manifestations will be directly evident in the same way as all
the things that came with the materialist Planetary Underworld. In fact, very
much of the spiritual breakthroughs that the Galactic Underworld will carry may
not at all be visible. This is meant as a reminder for the many, who sometimes
see no movement forward in manıs spiritual evolution. The current change occurs
on a subtle, but nonetheless very profound level.
Initially the Fourth NIGHT of the Galactic Underworld, which we have now
recently entered, will be a time of integration and then, especially in the
second half of the NIGHT there will be more and more phenomena popping up that
pave the way for the breakthrough into experiencing the divine presence that
will be brought by the Fifth DAY. The shift point for this breakthrough into
Quetzalcoatl/Christ energy will take place on November 24, 2006. Following this
breakthrough many will experience states of enlightenment previously completely
unknown to them and without the guidance of the Mayan calendar it would be easy
to believe that the new world has already been born. I have for instance a sense
that as we enter this energy of Quetzalcoatl, it will be possible for people to
receive the gift of being able to pass on the experience of divine presence (diksha)
to others spontaneously, and very possibly this ability will start to flow
between persons in contact with diksha givers. The experiences of divine
presence will be much more profound than they are now and maybe the reception of
the cosmic LIGHT of this DAY will be experienced directly by the human
receivers. What the Mayan calendar exactly describes is the kind of cosmic and
global field changes that produce such collective shifts in consciousness. Yet,
I suspect that this spiritual breakthrough will take place in parallel with
dramatic natural catastrophes or a collapse of the international monetary
system. Following this, on November 19, 2007, the energy of Tezcatlipoca will
set in and we will see a very significant reaction, almost certainly led by
forces in the West, and particularly the US, that with very forceful methods
will try, and probably for at least half a tun be very successful in
bringing the world back into the materialist fold and into the old ideals of the
Planetary Underworld, but in a much more oppressive form is currently is the
case. Incidentally, in case someone doubted, there will not be a need to have a
change in rulership for this to be accomplished and as we saw in the earlier
Underworlds the vast majority will follow along. In the Book of Revelation this
may be what is referred to as the Beast.
The Galactic Underworld is the Apocalypse and in its latter half the spiritual
warriors will be put to the test like never before. By spiritual warrior I here
mean a person who stays committed to the higher purpose of evolution in the
midst of the many forces that will try to sway her away from this. It is also a
person that has integrity and tells the truth and it is only to be expected that
the kind of ethical issues that we will be facing under both the energies of
Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca will be new and sometimes very difficult to deal
with. Simple habitual responses to the new situations will not be possible
requiring a very high degree of taking responsibility for oneıs actions. The
temptations to go along with the energy of Tezcatlipoca will in the Fifth NIGHT
be very strong and it will be only too easy to rationalize this. To avoid
falling into these traps I feel it is crucial that many people grasp the overall
wave movement of time that the true Mayan calendar describes. This will be a
very important support for us to be able to continue our missions in the times
ahead.
I have here hinted at the possibility, or rather, likelihood of different kinds
of disasters in the coming time and many will ask how to avoid being hit by
these. I have no answers to this, but feel that the best approach is to ask
yourself: ³How do I best serve divine creation and the process towards oneness
at the end point of the Galactic Underworld, October 28, 2011?² This is in my
view the best way of living a meaningful life rather than being dictated by fear
of things that are still outside of our control. If you are able to find an
answer to this question then I recommend that you should stay with it. Yet,
although in this article I emphasize the likely difficulties to come the
Apocalypse, contrary to popular opinion, does not mean the end of the world.
What the book of Revelation describes, often like the Mayan calendar through
sequences of seven steps, is a very turbulent era leading to the New Jerusalem -
a state of Oneness with the divine.
The tuns ahead, and especially the shift point between the energies of
Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca, will hence make great demands of the spiritual
warriors of today. Yet, especially the Fifth DAY is likely to bring great joy
and enlightenment through the increasing divine presence in the energy of
Quetzalcoatl and there is no reason to try to put a lid on such experiences even
though the times may be momentous. What I want to point out however is the
necessity of being aware of the kind of adverse phenomena that will accompany
these breakthroughs and even more so the reaction towards materialism and
democratic dictatorship that the energy of Tezcatlipoca will bring. It is thus
also to be expected that in the energy of Tezcatlipoca the chaos will be blamed
on the spiritual breakthroughs and that the spiritual warriors will become
scapegoats. The main source of knowledge about the wave movement of energies in
the time ahead is the true Mayan calendar although, as is common in its history
some will work to produce false Mayan calendars leading people to confuse
Quetzalcoatl (the energy of light) with Tezcatlipoca (the energy of darkness).
The true Mayan calendar is what charts the path to what in Christian theology is
called the New Jerusalem, a name for the state of Oneness that completes the
Apocalypse that the Galactic Underworld will deliver us to a few more energy
shifts down the road.
