In this last post of my series on the Mayan calendar, I’ll cover Carl Calleman’s interpretation of the calendar. In contrast to how John Major Jenkins’s work focuses on the astronomical aspects of the Mayan calendar and how it measures long periods of time, Calleman views the calendar strictly from the perspective of consciousness. He asserts that the calendar is not about measuring time, but rather the evolution of consciousness.
While Jenkins has proved the calendar’s connection to astronomical cycles, I believe that Calleman, through his focus, shows how the calendar maps the evolution of consciousness. Both men are simply looking at different aspects of the same thing. As paradoxical as it may seem, it is not necessary to discount the work of either. In fact, I encourage you to let go of preconceived ideas of rightness and wrongness and see if you can hold a space for embracing the consciousness-expanding views of both men.

John Major Jenkins, the most credible of all the Mayan researchers, is responsible for creating awareness of the galactic alignment and for providing information on why the December 21, 2012 date is important. He also discovered the true day count of the Mayan calendar amongst the many versions that are being used.
Jenkins research shows the Maya knew about an alignment of the sun with the center of the Milky Way that happens only once every 26,000 years. They depicted this information in the architecture of their buildings, specifically at Izapa. After discovering the galactic alignment, Jenkins was able to use this information as a springboard for his other discoveries – the correct day count and the correct end date of the Mayan calendar.
