Second Breath Leaf of the Avatar, Week Two Meditations 5-8: Dreamspell, Science of Time, Synchronic Order Core Curriculum: Sustainable Living and Life Skills Second Breath Leaf of the Avatar, Week Two Meditations 5-8: Dreamspell, Science of Time, Synchronic Order Core Curriculum: Sustainable Living and Life Skills Eighth Meditation: Evaluation Synthesis-Power Ripens Fruit From the Dreamspell of History to the Galactic Dreamspell: Re-enchanting the World 6 Earth Bolon Ik: Good morning. I feel as if it is so beautiful because you have come early. So I know that everything is in good order, especially because this is my Earth Family Day as I am White Solar Wind, I am so full of energy I almost cannot contain it, but I will try to be disciplined. Today, teaching day eight, is Limi, Day 20 of the Self-Existing Moon. We have transcendence today, evaluation and synthesis. So we are beginning a new harmonic, Harmonic 25, Solar Matrix, Self-regulate Universal Fire of Intention. Today is kin 97, Red Rhythmic Earth. I organize in order to evolve Balancing synchronicity I seal the matrix of navigation With the rhythmic tone of equality I am guided by my own power doubled Now we can look to the Tone six and know we are in the time to extend the rhythm of action. With the Rhythmic Tone six we organize equality and we have balance. I feel as if over these four teaching days we are discovering the balance between our personal discipline and our attention to tune into the collective field of all of us. I encourage us all to practice even stronger telepathy. Giving good hugs throughout the day I feel is a very effective way to remember our love, because in this way we actually break through that shell of ego. When we hug each other, we bring in our Holons. Finally this is Tone six of the first dimension Life Pulsar: the 2, the 6, and the 10 Tones. Further statements on this Tone six say that we are to command equality and administer the challenge. I think the challenge for today, when you come into your groups, is to have your whole Earth Family there with you; let's not have any loose beings. We have stated that if you are not in your Earth Family you are not here, and if you are not here then we will not have success in the Great Experiment. So we remember every moment to ourselves that we are here to serve the Great Experiment. Today we have an inspired reading from the Telektonon prophecy. The "Earth" Section, "The Prophets of Peace are Awakening:" "Pacal Votan am I, Time's Special Witness am I, who bequeathed to you a Talking Stone, a legacy of place, Nah Chan, House of the Serpent, by prophecy known as Palenque. At Xochicalco too you will find stone utterances of my gospel left by Meditation 8: 1 command of my apostle, Ce Acatl Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl, who closed Christ's first millennium as now my prophecy has come to close Christ's second millennium. Oh People of the Dawn, People of the Book, Children of the Day of Truth, make yourselves as One again and do not doubt the accuracy of the appointed hour on the day Lunar Moon. Synchronize now and in all humility accept God's plan, 28 days, 13 moons, plus 1 day for deliverance and forgiveness. Pardon now in public, your enemy's indiscretions, and make full confession of your own transgressions. If you are sincere God will see this in your heart and by His mercy many will follow your way. If you proclaim for the cause of Righteousness and Truth a new beginning and a new time, Telektonon, the 13 Moon Way, and you join others to do likewise, then God will know this, too, and make you a great General in the Holy Victory March. "And if you have means and wealth and you hear these words or have explained to you the curse of 12:60 time and the blessing of 13:20 time, then do not doubt it and practice charity. Provide for the children orphaned by war and provide for the reconstruction of the Earth, and that the practice of Art and Culture may flourish once again. Practice such charity with zeal, for soon you shall see an end of money. No more will flow the drunken wine of Babylon's fornication, then what will you be with your paper credits and your useless machines. "The prophets of peace are awakening. Truly the hour of Judgement has come. Among the angels, am I known as the mysterious benefactor of the righteous. Will you throw away this opportunity, too? Beware, for now the fire that consumes all falsehood is raging." This also is the completion of the teaching days in this week of the Avatar, and I simply wanted to give a brief explanation of the word Avatar. I think the best way we can apply the word Avatar is the coming into manifestation of a principle, and this principle is the Law of Time, which we can also say is the synchronic order. So please do not confuse the two of us as messengers as being anything else than totally human, as you are human, with all of those fragile moments and confusions or clarities. Because we are here completely in service to the knowledge of the Law of Time, we will be here for the full time of the Seminary. We will not be leaving this site. In this way we are an example of maintaining our fidelity to the synchronic order. Finally, as I do each day, I will read from the Dynamics of Time, and because today is code number 17 tone 6, it's 17.6. "The Galactic Federation of hyperdimensional mind is the future order and organization of all consciousness intelligently ramified into degrees and ranks stored according to a comprehensive knowledge of all phases of the evolutionary spectrum constituting the galactic brain. The only purpose of the Galactic Federation is to increase awareness of God and the Divine Order, which can only be affected through subliminal feedback to input from the lower orders of time." Meditation 8: 2 So today is the concluding teaching of the Dreamspell Science of Time and Synchronic Order, where we are working with Life Skills and Sustainable Living. So we are living the Dreamspell and we are practicing the synchronic order kin after kin. Now we will go to the topic for today: from the Dreamspell of history to the Galactic Dreamspell, Re- enchanting the world. Valum Votan: Thank you for your very inspired words and introduction. It is only to be expected, since it is the Core Family day. I think we are dealing with at least one of the Queens of the Core Family ... I hope she takes that in the right way! Today, for myself and all of us, we are in the eighth meditation on the Law of Time. In this meditation we are rising into the unknown. Every moment and every day we are here we are rising even farther into the unknown. It says at the very beginning of the Dreamspell - I'll read the very first paragraph of the Dreamspell Genesis: "Just as the falcon entering its gyre henceforth spins without turning back, so once a Planetary Kin has entered the Magnetic Dragon gate of the Castle of Turning there is no turning back, only turning and turning again through the endless and infinite castle spires of the mighty timeship Earth 2013." That very well describes the journey that we are here undertaking at the Earth Wizards Seminary, because, even though we have some sense of the codes and are beginning to understand the mathematics, it is only to aid us in flying higher and higher. So when we are flying and rising higher and higher, as Bolon Ik has expressed, ultimately the journey is to God, to the Source, and all recollection is of God and the Source. The Divine Source is infinite in its manifestation. Through ourselves and the chemistry of our lives we have lived all of that. So the recollection is embedded in ourselves and our memory. We are rising from position to position in the Wavespell. As we learn slowly to spiral together in a way that we have never spiraled before, we are naturally beginning to have more and more experiences of awakening. What we are looking for at this Earth Wizards Seminary, for the awakening, is that we have a minimum of 144. We have that many in the subscriptions, right? Yes, so we want to make sure when we complete this we have at least 144 Earth Wizards. This is the minimum fractal quantity to assure that we can effect the evolutionary shift on behalf of the entire human race, of the planet, and in accord with the evolutionary directives of our star, Kinich Ahau. So we understand that with the Dreamspell we are establishing the new cosmology of the mythic order. We've spoken about how the mathematics of the Law of Time establishes the cosmology of a new scientific order, but we have science and myth. We have the scientific sensibility and the mythic sensibility which are unified in ourselves in the two sides of our brain that cross-over to govern the two sides of our body in a bilateral symmetry that is identical to the bilateral symmetry of the Loom of Maya in the Tzolkin. When we look at that Tzolkin we are truly looking at the cosmic mirror in which we see ourselves reflected in all of our facets of knowing and being.

Thinking about the Unthinkable Of all the unexamined assumptions and criteria upon which we base and gauge our daily lives as human beings on planet Earth, by far the greatest and most profoundly unquestioned is the instrument and institution known as the Gregorian Calendar. A calendar, any calendar, is commonly understood as a system for dividing time over extended periods. A day is the base unit of a calendar, and the solar year is the base extended period. The length of the solar year is currently reckoned at 365.242199 days. The Gregorian calendar divides this duration into twelve uneven months – four months of 30 days, seven of 31 days, and one of 28 days.

When you are that close to the end and you still have your wits about you, you are allowed a death bed conversion. Metaphorically speaking, that’s what this booklet is about. Living through the Closing of the Cycle does require some familiarity with the 13 Moon calendar. But this booklet is not about the calendar. It assumes that the calendar and the Law of Time are already known to you, though they may not yet be fully understood. Of course, if you are not familiar with the Dreamspell, Telektonon or the 20 Tablets of the Law of Time, you will probably want to make yourself familiar with them. The purpose of introducing more or less advanced material from the Dreamspell codes and Telektonon prophecy is only because the calendar change is assumed. It is the calendar change that makes the Road to 2012 a universal path for all human beings. The calendar change not only opens the door to the return to natural time, understood as an evolutionary inevitability, but it, therefore, also opens up new vistas of thought and social organization based on the Law of Time.

  • Japanese Religions, Calendars, and Religious Culture in Brazil
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 35/1: 145–159 © 2008 Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture Nakamaki Hirochika 中牧弘允 Japanese Religions, Calendars, and Religious Culture in Brazil This article analyzes some characteristics of religious culture in Brazil found in calendars collected by the author, particularly at the turn of 2006. General features of calendars in Brazil are summarized in reference to national cul- ture, mass culture, company culture, and religious culture. Calendars issued by Japanese religious organizations are described in detail according to their affiliations, namely Shin Buddhism, the Catholic Church, Seichō-no-Ie, Per- fect Liberty, and Tenrikyō. keywords: calendars — Brazil — Shin Buddhism — Catholic Church — Tenrikyō — Seichō-no-Ie — Perfect Liberty Nakamaki Hirochika is a Professor at the National Museum of Ethnology (Minpaku) in Osaka. 145 omething so basic as a calendar can include much more information than simple dates; it can also include the movements of heavenly bod- ies, lucky and/or unlucky days, and much more. In short, culture in vari- Sous forms, such as national, mass, popular, religious, company, community, and ethnic cultures—all can be incorporated into a calendar. In addition to this, a calendar functions as a medium broadcasting, for example, advertisements and religious messages. The calendar has traditionally been closely related to reli- gions, and is also inseparable from political authority (that is, those who control time). Major calendars in the world such as the Jewish calendar, the Julian cal- endar, the Muslim (Hijra) calendar, the Gregorian calendar, the Hindu calendar, and the Buddhist calendar have been greatly influenced by their respective reli- gions.

    Rinri Newsletter: Volume 2, Number 1 Earth Wizard's Almanac Workbook, Fifth Year of Prophecy Open Letter from the Planetary Healing Doctor Even Ph.D's (Planetary Healing Doctors) must learn again. I'm here once more as a preceptor and co- learner, letting you know that the time is very ripe to catch the "Discipline" thirteen-week fast track program.The cause of this fast track program is the arrival on Earth of the 20 Tablets of the Law of Time. It is one thing to be the galactic Fax machine that receives and down-loads whole systems of information; it is entirely another matter to study and learn from the whole systems that have been received and decoded, as in the 20 Tablets of the Law of Time. Today, Red Electric Skywalker, Self-Existing Moon 6, is exactly one spin since I emerged from the 28- day Time Tunnel, "Retrieving the Divine Plan" (20 Tablets Instruction Manual, p. 13). The arrival of these20 Tablets of the Law of Time was synchronically ordered by the Rinri Project opening of the first half of the first psi bank plate. It took another 24days to transcribe all of the information, and prepare an initial set of Tablets for a press conference in Costa Rica. This press conference occurred on Magnetic Warrior, exactly 91 days later (13 weeks of seven days each, seven perfect wavespells of 13 days each). The 91-day interval marking the precise commencement of the Time Tunnel, "Retrieving – www.lawoftime.org the Divine Plan", and the press conference was marked by two solar flares of unusual magnitude, which heightened the intensity of Earth's electromagnetic field by 10, 000times.

  • The Calendar Correlation Problem in Mesoamerican Astrology Explained by Bruce Scofield
    The Calendar Correlation Problem in Mesoamerican Astrology Explained by Bruce Scofield The existence of the 260-day count in Mesoamerica, the count that contains 13 repetitions of the 20 day-signs, extends back at least 2,500 years. This count or calendar, as it is generally called, is really a remarkable astrological instrument. It is an arrangement of blocks of time (days and groups of days) that resonate with both planetary cycles and life on this planet. It is a kind of biorhythmic scale. The Maya call this count the Tzolkin, the Aztecs the Tonalpouhalli. In my writings, I refer to it as the 260-day astrological calendar. It is not connected to the seasons and therefore does not require a periodic leap-day correction. But in order to know when a particular day arrives, we must either keep daily records of the passage of days (which is what the indigenous Maya do), or have a method of correlating it with the Western calendar. One way of correlating the 260-day astrological calendar with the Western calendar is to link it to a Julian date. Historians and astronomers have numbered all the days, as far back as several millennia before the Common Era, each day having a Julian day number. If we know the Julian number of an event, and we have our two calendars linked to this system, then we can move dates back and forth between calendars. Nearly all researchers now agree that the zero date of the Long Count (a.k.a. the Mayan Calendar) began on Julian date #584,283 which was August 11, 3114 B.C.

This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This is an autoethnographic account of my 1000km journey across The Camino Via de la Plata, framed within transpersonal theory. From my personal account of a peak experience on The Way, this spiritual inquiry attempts to connect myself and the reader to insights into transformation and living through embodied writing while contributing to the exploration of personal flourishing and growth in leisure studies. This process involved moving into and through Romanyshyn’s (2007) six orphic moments found in re-search processes with soul in mind. I then unfold my journey along the Camino and deepen this inquiry by engaging literature that help to explore spiritual aspects of my journey on the Camino. Leisure inquiry frames this transpersonal peak experience in a number of ways: it is an act of empowerment (Arai, 1997), focal practice (Arai & Pedlar, 2000), resistance (Shaw, 2001, 2007), and an experience of liminality (Cody, 2012) with transformation occurring at the flux of it all.
