I find it amazing that someone like Calleman is considered "a Mayan scholar", when, clearly the guy has come out of left field with ideas that are not at all supported by the over 100 years of actual scholarship in the area of Maya studies. It proves that if you continue to repeat stuff, eventually people will come to believe they are true. Repetition does NOT make something true friends.
Generally, people don't bother to find out the truth for themselves. They rely on others partly due to time and energy constraints. Things are just too complex and there is only so much time in a day. The problem with this, is that unless they do some research themselves, they will not be able to determine the credibility of so-called experts. They will continue to pass on erroneous information.
The fact that Calleman has been able to impose his ideas on the general public continues to turn my stomach. So many have taken his fantasy for the truth. His material is not based on anything real in Mayan culture past or present.
According to Calleman, the end of the calender will occur this month. BS!!!!
Who is this guy?
Recently I read yet another 2012 book. 2012 and the End of the World: The Western Roots of the Maya Apocalypse, by Matthew Restall and Amara Solari. Both academics, they show how the apocalyptic views of the first Catholic missionaries who went to Mexico during the Conquest period influenced the Maya and thus showed up in documents written during that period. The so-called predictions in the Chilam Balam which reflect the Book of Revelations are there because the scribes who wrote them had already taken on beliefs from the Judeo-Christian Bible. The book is short and easy to read. I recommend it.

Metamorphosis - Shape-Shifting Into a New World
As I mentioned at my talk "2012: End or Beginning?" the other night at the Petaluma Museum, transformation will take place naturally. It is a natural process for creatures to evolve.
I gave the analogy of a caterpillar who one day gets the notion to start building this thing - a cocoon, not having any idea what it is or what it's for. One day, when it's nearly done, she knows she has to get inside and seal it up, closing herself off from friends and family. Not understanding why or for what purpose, merely that this is what she must do.
The cocoon hangs from a branch for a period of time, but she has no idea how long she will hang there.
Letting go of all desires and needs, she feels herself dissolving. She enters a timeless state.
One day, just as mysteriously as was the beginning of the process, it is time to emerge. She makes her way out of the cocoon and realizes her whole self is transformed. No longer a creature of the earth, she now can fly. Her lumpy old body gone, instead she has wings that glimmer in the sunlight. She is nearly weightless.
She can fly from flower to flower. She is called by scent and color to travel long distances, visiting places she couldn't have imagined in her previous state. The world is all new and it is beautiful.
Once upon a time,
I dreamt
I was a butterfly...Suddenly
I awoke...Now, I do not
know whether I was then
a man dreaming I was
a butterfly, or whether I
am now a butterfly dreaming
that I am a man.

Who is Haramein?
Do you know about Nassim Haramein?
A rare opportunity to attend a Delegate Program offered by The Resonance Project coming May 6-8 in Petaluma! Check it out here and here.
Haramein teaches all over the world and having him coming here is so exciting. Not to be missed!
When I attended an evening presentation a couple of years ago by one of the 'emissaries', as Haramein's assistants are called, I realized I found something that was truly 'cutting edge'. A 'psychics' that united science and spirituality. Unified Field Theory.
I would not even try to explain Nassim Haramein's work because it is still beyond my comprehension, so I invite you to go to his website and view his YouTube videos at The Resonance Project website.
Let me say this - it has to do with a theory of the whole Creation, black holes, time/space, time travel, worm holes and ancient temples. If any of those words spark you to check it out... do it!
Haramein is the physicist of the New Age. He may just have an answer if not THE answer to solving many of the current issues that are facing planet Earth. 'Radical' ideas that explain all those things that don't make sense. He is able to communicate complex ideas so that you can totally grok them. Included in this weekend event:
"Meditation techniques based on this knowledge will also be offered as an invaluable tool to aid in further integration, as you learn how to more effectively tap into the vacuum energy and the curvature of space and time and connect to your own personal singularity."
Now if that doesn't whet your whistle, what would?
Hope to see you there.
(Oh, and by the way, this is not a paid ad, nor do I earn anything from promoting Nassim - although I am not adverse to the idea)

12/21/2010 or 12/21/2012?
For those of you who were fortunate enough to witness the Lunar Eclipse on the Winter Solstice (I was), and who know the Creation story of the ancient Maya, you may have felt that that was the big event - 12/21/2012!
It was a powerful event that is still resonating in me. After all, the alignment with the Galactic Center does take place over 36 years and the anthropologists have been discussing the correlation question for decades. They could be wrong!
2012 is not only a date, it is also an event- an event that occurs in the Underworld (the night sky). The celestial bodies and areas of the sky represent beings operating in a world. It is a sky drama, which is reflected here on earth and which the ancient Maya sought to replicate through their ceremonies and architecture.
Soon Neptune will enter Pisces, its natural sign. The veils will be lifted. Another opportunity to examine aspects of our life and by extension, our world, that are no longer working.
With the lifting of the veils, we will have increased access to other dimensions and also other beings. If we cannot deal with 'aliens' to our country from across the border, we surely will not be able to deal with ETs! Ha ha! What are you going to do when someone from Andromeda takes your job?(Surely they wouldn't want it). In fact, most will see the petty level they have been existing on- that all those things we deem important will just be gone. Reality as we know it is dissolving.
Our connection to Source is all that matters.

Ek' Waynal Workshop at Songbird Center in Cotati
I'll be doing a workshop on Ek' Waynal the Mayan Hieroglyph for the Galactic Center. What did it mean to the Maya and what might it mean for us.
John Major Jenkins says we are aligning with this place now and through 2012 and that the Maya predicted this alignment when they created their calendar around two thousand years ago. The Maya called it the "dark rift" and had a glyph for it - ek'waynal, which has many interpretations and meanings.
Learn what the Maya thought about this and how this relates to current ideas such as "the law of attraction." Presentation will be followed by group discussion.
The workshop is Saturday February 26, 2011 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm at the Songbird Community Healing Center, 8280 Old Redwood Highway in Cotati, CA
Cost for workshop - $25.00. You can use the PayPal button on the sidebar or pay through Songbird Center. For more info contact me at hamida@songbirdcenter.org
