For reasons unknown to most, NINE seems to be an interesting number and it has it’s talons in the Mayan dynasty as well. In Mesoamerican mythology there are NINE “underworlds“. How did they know such things? How did the Mayans and others know the world was billions of years old when the intellectual and religious Western culture felt the world was but 5-6,000 years old? And who was capable of building those pyramids in Egypt anyway?
Of course there are those who still contend the earth is flat, that the sun evolves around the earth, and that this planet is but 6,000 years old. I digress!
Mayan mythology divided time up into nine different creations. And they are not alone. The Hopi Indians have nine worlds. The Norse traditions have nine worlds. The Mayan pyramids have nine levels. But on to the main stuff. Let me not bore you with the details, but just hit the highlights which is where I want to go.
Each of the nine Mayan Underworld creation times gets smaller and smaller. We move from the Mammalian underworld of 16.4 billion years to the Universal underworld that lasts a mere 260 days. And it is this age that seems the most exciting and promising. June 6, 2012 during the Venus transit is where it really gets exciting- not so much Dec. 21st.
It is during this time that we shed the snake skin of duality and begin embracing the unity of our humanity and divinity. Why? How so? Johan Calleman says it like this, “The Ninth Underworld may be seen as a gift of God, since it is not only about creating balance, but also about the enlightenment given humankind as an expression of divine grace.”
Works for me!
The secret is out!
