Photography on the West Coast

I’m in British Columbia now and will be taking photographs for the 2010 Divine in Nature: With Inspirational Quotes from Edgar Cayce wall calendar. The scenery here is gorgeous.

The Mayan Calendar

The calendar of the ancient Maya is more accurate than our present-day Gregorian calendar. However, the Mayan calendar system also appears to be quite complicated.

Here’s a bit of what I understand about it:

* A day is called a “kin.”
* It operates on a mathematical system of 20. (Omathematical system is a system of 10)
* A Mayan month is 20 days long and is called a “uinal.”
* A Haab or Tun is the name of the year-long calendar. It is made up of 18 uinals plus 5 days or 6 in a leap year. That’s 18 x 20 + 5 or 360 + 5 + 365 days.
* The Tzolkin is another calendar made up of 13 uinols or 13 x 20 = 260 days. The Tzolkin has been used by the Maya even to this day. It is a ceremonial calendar of religious observances.
* The Long Count Calendar measures an era or 26,000 years. It fell into disuse even before the Spaniards arrived in Yucatan in the 1500s.

Met Some Wonderful People in Milwaukee

I just finished my speaking event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This was my first time in Milwaukee, which I always associated with beer brewing and industrial manufacturing. I was pleasantly surprised to find Milwaukee to be a lovely city with landscaped parkland along the waterfront. They have an amazing art museum that looks like a boat under sail.

The people I met at the event, as always at an Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. function, were wonderfully warm and welcoming and also very knowledgeable about all kinds of spirituality subjects. In fact, I was quite impressed with the amount information people had about my topic–2012, the Maya and the Yucatan. Their involved listening and intelligent questions made the event full of life. Many people also shared with me personal experiences of spiritual awakening–a wonderful group that has gathered around dedicated volunteers who made me feel at home in their city.

At these events, I enjoy being billeted in private homes. This time, I stayed with a family, all of whom went out of their way to make me feel happy and comfortable. They even got me some rhubarb pie, a delicacy I haven’t tasted since I moved to Virginia. Yum, yum!

I feel happy that I was invited to speak there and also feel very lucky to have been in Milwaukee in May. The whole city was in bloom. The fragrance of flowering crabs and lilacs filled the air. A wonderful experience.

May 17 Milwaukee Conference

There’s still time to register for the Milwaukee A.R.E. (Edgar Cayce) conference. Here are the details:

2012 : The Mayan Calendar and the Yucatan Peninsula with Carol Chapman

According to their calendar, the Maya believed that their world would end on Dec 21, 2012. But what will happen?
Part of the 2012 mystique stems from the stars. On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years.
Carole Chapman is an internationally-acclaimed speaker, author, photographer, and radio personality specializing in new age and spiritual subjects including dreams, reincarnation, nature spirits, Atlantis, and life after death.
She has been researching 2012 and the Mayan calendar for many years, and is just returning from a research trip to the Yucatan for Jan 08
Presented by Milwaukee Area A.R.E.

Edgar Cayce Reading on Atlanteans in Yucatan

Here’s an interesting reading, number 823-1, in which Cayce’s trance source says that:

“With the periods arising when there was the last of the destructions (for the entity sojourned in the Poseidian land, and about that temple there, in the spirit influences of the material activities, for some six thousand years — if counted as time now), the entity journeyed with those people for the Yucatan land, or the establishing of the temple there in which the entity aided.” (823-1)

OK, what is Cayce saying here? That an entity resided in a place in Atlantis called Poseidia for six thousand years? Six thousand years! The entity was alive for six thousand years! But, it appears the entity was a spirit influencing material activities. OK, that can make sense. The reason the entity can live for six thousand years in a certain place is because the entity was in spirit form, not material form. And, it means that as recent as the last destructions, entities existed in spiritual form influencing the material.

But then, what’s this? “The entity journeyed with those people for the Yucatan land . . .” So, even though the entity was a spirit, it journeyed with others? It journeyed in spirit form? Does that mean that the Atlanteans who came to Yucatan around the last destruction of Atlantis, came in spirit not material form? What do you think?

Edgar Cayce Reading re: Mayan Sun Temple

Here’s an excerpt from an interesting reading numbered 2073-2. I found this while doing research for my upcoming speaking event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There’s more information on my speaker web site at: http://www.CaroleChapman.com.

The reading was given on April 12th, 1940 for a 39-year-old housewife with a Roman Catholic background.

“Before that the entity was in the land now known as or called the Poseidian land, or Atlantean land, during those periods in which it was breaking up, and when the children of the Law of One (to which the entity was enjoined) journeyed from the land into portions of what is now the Yucatan land.

“The entity then was a Princess in the Temple of the Sun, or the Temple of Light; though others have interpreted it as the Sun.” (2073-2)

I found this interesting because, when visiting Yucatan earlier this year, we came upon a Temple of the Sun. On one of the stairs leading up the pyramid, we found carved in the stone a symbol of what looked like a sun with light swirling around it.

Now I wonder if this could have been the temple of this reading especially since the symbol could have also illustrated light.

Edgar Cayce: Altars Influence of People from Mu

In psychic reading 5750-1 Edgar Cayce says that “the altars before the doors of the varied temple activities,” resulted from an influence of the people from Mu or Lemuria.

When visiting Coba in the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula, we found round stone altars in front of stelae or tall stone columns covered in Mayan hieroglyphics.

Were these altars, which were likely created during the Classic Period of the ancient Maya between about AD 300 to 900, the result of a Lemurian influence that started over 10,000 years earlier?

Maya Future: Their Children

One of our guides, during our 2008 visit to Yucatan, told us that it is very important to the Maya to build up their population. During the “Caste Wars” in which they fought against amalgamation into Mexico, they lost about half of their population. Today, big families are the hope for the future.

Year 2012 Mayan Precession of the Equinoxes

Today I’m thinking about the Precession of the Equinoxes since the full cycle of the Mayan Long Count Calendar correlates with the 25,756 years it takes the earth’s axis to turn one full cycle.

As I understand it, the Precession of the Equinoxes can be compared to a spinning top that is not spinning straight up but at a slight angle.

One spin of the earth creates one day and takes 24 hours. One long circle of the spinning earth around the sun is one year or about 365 1/4 days.

If the earth’s axis of rotation was straight up and down, there would be no seasons.

Because the earth spins at an angle to its yearly rotation around the sun, we have seasons. Very simply, during the part of the year the top half of the earth is pointed toward the sun, we have summer. During the part of the year we are on the other side of the sun and are pointing away from the sun, we experience winter.

If the earth’s axis of rotation was not slowly (25, 756 years) describing a circle, there would be no Precession of the Equinoxes.

How does the Precession of the Equinoxes affect us? Over the thousands of years, the north pole will no longer point toward Polaris.

Did the ancient Maya know about the Precession of the Equinoxes?
