Will the turmoil in the Arab world come to an end? For those who have studied
my books, and especially The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness (Bear and Co, 2004), current
events in the Arab world should hardly come as a surprise (If you have not read this book yet, I urge you to do so soon if
you want to understand the decisive time we are now entering. No book about the Mayan calendar has proven to be so accurate
in its predictions and understanding). One of the theories developed there is that the modern nation state, and also the whole
concept of dominance originates in the dualist consciousness of the National Underworld (6th wave) as this is essentially
described by the so-called Mayan Long Count. The modern nation state as a social structure, and projection of the human mind,
took its beginning in northwestern Europe at the beginning in 1617 of the Seventh day of the National Underworld. The countries
in Scandinavia, the Netherlands and to some extent England were close to the line dividing the Western and Eastern hemispheres
(the 12th longitude East) and so it was there that for the first time in history national institutions of rule were established
which were independent of the particular monarchic dynasty that were ruling these countries. The concept of a nation state
has since, throughout this Seventh day of the National Underworld, spread all over the world, mostly through European imperialism,
to a point that modern people today tend to take this organizational structure as a given. Global politics, despite its many
current international organizations, is still essentially based on relationships between different nation states. In reality,
however, the nation state with a ruling government at its center is nothing but a projection of a particular human frame of
consciousness timed by the Mayan calendar and related to a particular polarity field of our planet. One of the last regions
of the world to embrace the concept of a nation state was the Maghreb (Arab North Africa), where borders were drawn up by
European powers only as the sultanate of the Ottoman Empire collapsed in the early 1920’s. One of the predictions that was made in my abovementioned book is that as the polarity of
the Seventh day of the current Galactic Underworld (8th wave) was established on November 3, 2010 the system of dominance
created by the National Underworld would come to be balanced by a complementary polarity. The result would be that not only
left brain (and male) dominance would start to crumble, but so would also Western dominance and all the institutional framework
that has been associated with this. The rug would be pulled out under the phenomenon of dominance as such. The only unanswered
question has been how long time it would take for the human beings to assimilate the new global field change. In what order
would these changes manifest in the current high frequency of change of the Galactic Underworld as we approach the Universal
(and Ninth) Underworld with its uaxaclahunkin rhythm? A clear
expression of this end to Western dominance on a global scale was evident in the recent visit of the President of China, Hu
Jintao to the White House when for the first time this seemed like a meeting of equals. Despite the fact that the US economy
is still far bigger (on paper at least) than the Chinese, everyone now knows in what direction the relationship between the
“consumer” nation (USA) and “producer” nation (China) is going. In the end the power of one nation
to print money will not give the same solid foundation for an economy as the actual manufacturing of goods (Chinese patent
applications will become the most numerous in the world in 2011). Today, many people take this changed relationship between
the economic powers of the East (especially China) and the West as a given, but it truly deserves to be pointed out that this
change was predicted based on the Mayan calendar and its various Underworlds long before it came to public awareness. The
point to realize is that the balance between the East and West that is now becoming apparent is part of a cosmic plan of balancing
the planet prior to the beginning of the Ninth and highest evolutionary wave of the Mayan calendar. This balancing and the end to dominance that it implies in the Seventh day of the Galactic
Underworld was also expected to generate renewed democracy movements and protests against dictators. What would then be more
natural in the current Underworld than if these would start in Tunisia, which is located on the earlier mentioned longitude
12 East line separating East and West, which was the line where national dominance was initially established? (As it turns
out my collaborator Barbara Hand Clow was exactly right when she said half a year ago that she expected this line to collapse
as the Seventh day of the Galactic Underworld began.) A chain is broken at its weakest link and so it is natural that this
also happened in the Maghreb region, which is among those where the national consciousness has been the weakest in the world. As we know this democracy movement has now spread, notably to Egypt, where regardless of
what form it will take the era of rule of Hosni Mubarak has come to an end. Several other Arab nations, such as Lebanon, Algeria,
Jordan and Yemen, have also been affected by similar democracy movements. While the Western media have reacted to these events
much with a “business as usual in the Middle East”-attitude, speculating about its effects on the geopolitics
of the region and the strategic US-Israeli relationship, I think that we, with a background in the Mayan calendar, must instead
recognize that we are witnessing something more profound. I think that the desire of the Arabic peoples to set an end to dominance
(implying more democratic forms of rule) is authentic and deeply felt and even if there is a possibility of some theocratic
regime taking power I believe this could only be temporary and not lasting. If nothing else it would soon become clear that
such a regime would not be able to handle the economic problems that these nations, as well as the rest of the world, will
be facing. As we know from the elections two years ago the Iranian theocracy is not particularly popular even at home. In
the Galactic Underworld the global field no longer favors dominance and as we enter the high frequency of the Ninth wave this
will become even more clear. To provide further context it may
here be appropriate to provide a quote from the Quran (Surah 82:17-19) And what will make you realize what the day of
judgement is? Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment Is? The day on which no soul shall control anything
for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's. We should here be aware that the Quranic
prophecies and their possible interpretations play a very significant role in the everyday life of the entire Muslim world,
which is now in turmoil. What the quote above is telling us is that true Islam is not dominance. True lslam is not a theocracy
like Iran, True Islam is not suicide bombers or terrorists like Al-Quaida. True Islam is not suppression of women. (Hence,
I support Europeans, who resist that such practices are imported to their countries). True Islam is, as the word Islam means,
“unconditional surrender to the will of God” whatever form this surrender takes. At least in my view this form
may be very different from how official representatives of this religion has actually been practicing it, but as with Christianity
and Judaism there is a whole range of interpretations of Islam ranging from Sufi to Scriptural. At the end of time, at Judgment
day, this total surrender however seems to imply the end to dominance of one soul over another and I believe it is to this
point we are coming now, which is expressed in the “democracy” movement we see in the Muslim world. The logic
is that if you are to surrender to the will of Allah you cannot let any other human being (autocrat, theocrat or dictator)
control you since this would conflict with eternal law. Sufi
Philippe de Vos points out that Islamic prophecy even implies the end to religion: “I find your explanation of the
two different dates and time frames of 269 and 234 days very interesting. When we add the 234 days after the March 9, 2011
date we arrive at October 29. This year the latter date is the beginning of the Muslim pilgrimage the hajj, based on the lunar
Muslim calendar and it is well known by Sufi masters that Imam Mahdi (= Kalki in Islamic culture) will arrive during the pilgrimage
when the Arafat day (the 9th day of the pilgrimage) is a Friday. This is called the biggest pilgrimage - hajj al akbar - and
it happens this year 2011, as Arafat day is then a Friday. This convergence is very interesting and in fact in the Islamic
world this has already been announced without knowledge of the Mayan calendar. The particular role of Imam Mahdi is to bring
Islam to its original state: The sanatana dharma or "din al qayyim", which is a Quranic word meaning "eternal
law". The Sufi masters say, no more religions, no more Sufism and no more divisions. All will be "rabbaniyin"
(Lord) as says sheik Nazim Cyprus mufti and leader of naqchabandi Sufi way." To this remarkable quote Hopi brother Hohongwitutiwa has made the following comment: “I'tupkom nihqe i'siwata, my brothers and sisters, I am adopted Hopi.
My father was a priest of the higher religious order. I continue to share knowledge we were instructed to pass on to all of
our brothers and sisters at this time. This information in many ways agrees with what Phillipe de Vos shared. Namely, that
following the end of this Purification cycle, our Earth Mother will ascend to the highest position of our sun system as the
new Morning Star, where there will no longer be any divisions, where all will live together in peace and harmony with our
Creator, as One. To reach this exalted life we
are called to live much as Phillipe describes as "din al qayyim" (eternal law), which for us is called the Mongko,
or Law of Life. To live in this way is to fully appreciate our Mother Earth as a great living being, from whom our lives are
given to us, along with everything else we have. The Earth is our Land and our Life, and we live in gratitude to Her as our
Creator, the nearest expression of the life and power of the Great Spirit that fills all of creation. We understand that the
heart or core of the Earth is representative of that great life and power, which is why most religions still have their priests
prostrate themselves face down to the Earth when they are ordained, and perhaps the reason why we bow our heads to the Earth
when we pray, although these meanings are largely lost to our modern age. Part of our Mongko relates to the operation of nature that has been progressing us for many ages within
our sun system. This knowledge has been preserved by the Hopi, and perhaps remembered in the Mayan calendar cycles, which
agree with our own that we are in the midst of a great change. That change for us, as described above, occurs in nature, and
involves our Earth Mother's laboring to birth Her core-egg, the true reason for the changes we are seeing that pahana
people call Global Warming. When the eggs of each world of our system are born-ejected, each will move-up to an orbit closer
to the sun, where new species will be evolved (due to the excitation in our system during this time) adapted to live under
the new conditions. For us, this will be the final step up our evolutionary ladder to what we call the Fifth World, and others
call ascension, paradise, heaven, and other names. According to our understanding, only those who hold fast to the Earth through
all the lures and temptations to come, living with love and selfless service to one another and the Earth (being the best
people we can be) will inherit the wonderful Earth our Mother will soon become, when She becomes the brightest jewel in the
sky.“ A Hopi can thus easily understand a Sufi
and even if the language is somewhat different it is obvious that they have a common message including a purification and
an ultimate state of oneness. I believe that the understanding of the Mayan calendar and its ninth wave provides the necessary
framework of time for us to understand that these different traditions are talking about the same thing and the same process.
Without the Mayan calendar and the timing of its Ninth wave we would not necessarily understand that the "din al qayyim"
(eternal law) of the Muslims is the same as the Mongko of the Hopi. Without the Mayan calendar, the truths of different traditions,
as diverse as the Sufi and the Hopi, could not necessarily be connected and unified. Most importantly, we would not be able
to see the role we could play ourselves for the birth of a new world and the window of opportunity that we have to manifest
this. Thus, I look at the present “turmoil” in the
Arab world not as “business as usual”, but as a beginning of a process of total surrendering to the All (Allah
if you will) and the end of dominance of one soul over another that will be established through the Ninth wave ending October
28, 2011 (Although the time for this to settle is unknown). Hence, I do not think there will be an end to the current “democracy”
movement in the Arab world or elsewhere for some time to come even though there may be setback reactions and ups and downs.
(I place “democracy” within quotes because the movement at the current time is not really about some formalized
form of governance with certain institutions, which in practice may or may not be democratic. It is about the much more fundamental
path towards the end of dominance). An immediate consequence,
especially if the unrest spreads to Mashrek (Arab world east of Suez), is a dramatic rise in oil prices with two consequences.
Firstly, a worsening of the economic situation in some already debt-ridden countries in the European Union resulting in significant
lay-offs. Protest movements directed more specifically against economic dominance is then likely to continue there and elsewhere,
as it becomes evident that the economic problems cannot be solved within the dominating structures. Secondly, as a long-term effect there will be intensified efforts to shift over to other
sources of energy than oil. I thus believe that very likely, especially for economic reasons, the birth of the new world that
Phillippe de Vos and Hohongwitutiwa talk about will come to be very painful for many, and especially to those that deny the
existence of a cosmic time plan. The high frequency of the Ninth wave will make it very difficulty for people to find something
to hold on to as this seems to be designed for us to let go. Nonetheless, it seems that what is now in motion is a process
leading towards a birth of a new world in love and oneness where no soul will control another soul. To go there I believe
we need to become fully responsible for the world that we are creating and create this world out of a total surrender to the
All. Carl Johan Calleman |
