		<description>&lt;em&gt;It does not take &#8220;prophetic powers&#8221; to see that a cultural system built on unlimited growth precepts and with no regard for their socio-ecological impact will ultimately have to confront the reality of a finite planet &amp; a disgruntled population. The question is when.&lt;/em&gt; 
 
Well said. 
 
Interesting predictions--I&#039;ll keep my eye out. </description>

		<description>It does not take &quot;prophetic powers&quot; to see that a cultural system built on unlimited growth precepts and with no regard for their socio-ecological impact will ultimately have to confront the reality of a finite planet &amp; a disgruntled population. The question is when. All empires fall. Western civilization is imperial by design and will not be exempt from that axiom because they are no different from their predecessors.  
 
Maya calendrics is a scientific discovery made thousands of years ago. We encounter it dressed in the symbolic language of the culture who discovered it. My work is to further decipher, make intelligible and to place it on a scientific footing. The science of calendrics has much to say about when and how things happen. It does not predict specifics but only the thematic content of a given time period.   
 
 The Establishment is whipping up all sorts of confusion as it strives desperately to maintain control of a sputtering and essentially defunct system that can now only be sustained by constant warfare. Obama has either been totally duped by his &quot;advisors&quot; or he knows very well what he is doing. </description>

		<description>Yes... its actually 3 cimi through 12 eagle.   The Tzolkin does not predict &quot;good&quot; or &quot;bad&quot; outcomes but rather the thematic content of the day. Outcomes will vary across the spectrum based on system particulars. The key idea to Convection Vectors(CV&#039;s) is intensification of whatever is going on and catalytic in that once system x is pushed to novel action it then induces a cascade of action-reaction in related systems A,B and C and then compound with A, B and C&#039;s own intensification and convection begins to make sense.    
 
 The middle column is  void for the same reason &quot;zero contains emptiness and totality&quot;. White light contains yet hides all the colors. It seems to be a characteristic of energy-matter aggregation(densification) to enclose energy-matter &quot;diffuseness&quot;/ space (&quot;lessification&quot;) that is until you get to mega-matter agglomerations, i.e stars, planets neutron stars and when space is squeezed to x degree it (energy-matter ultra-densification) then morphs to become a hole/zero/tube/torus and aggregate energy-matter is then reduced to primordial  energy particles and the cycle begins anew. The latest in astrophysics points to a phenomena where &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.redorbit.com/news/space/1791892/do_black_holes_build_their_own_galaxies/index.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;black holes create their own boundary of stars or halo (0) of aggregate energy-matter, i.e galaxy.&lt;/a&gt; I am not familiar with other Tzolkin variations. The color of the middle column is arbitrary. As are the color of the CV squares. </description>

		<description>I think I am getting where you&#039;re coming from, but based on the &quot;burn days&quot; or convection vector days as you describe them, a 10 day period of instability is due to begin on December 23rd (2 Cimi) and go through to January 1st.(11 Men/Eagle). Or have I misread you? 
I&#039;ve been fascinated about &quot;burn days&quot; or those darker green days as outlined in the Tzolkin above. I began by thinking that they were &quot;fortunate&quot; or &quot;powerful&quot; days, but that wasn&#039;t what seemed to happen the more I paid attention to them. It felt to me that they were more stressful days, where arguments could break out or mis-communications would occur. I started to take great care on these days to avoid confrontation or schedule important events or meetings where there was a chance of conflict. This does not mean that you should live your life strictly according to the tzolkin - knowing that the energy is present on a day that is not conducive doesn&#039;t mean you should shut up shop and hide behind the curtains, but you should be aware that the day does contain a unique energy. Otherwise we would be completely unproductive for 52 out of 260 days! 
What still confuses me is what does the middle trecena represent? as a trecena containing no burn days, in some Tzolkins it is coloured differently to all others. In the example above, that is not the case, but there are many on which the middle trecena is highlighted in a third colour. I wonder why... </description>

		<description>Frankly, I don&#039;t know what to think. I am suspicious of prophcies of doom..tho&#039; doom happens. I have been feeling forbodings myself..perhaps because I spend too much time on Twitter? I cannot judge your Mayan Calendrics, but we do seem to be in a time of upheaval. I&#039;m not so much concerned w/ Iran as w/ our own 
uncivil discourse, the arming &amp; racial fury of parts of our population. I still have some faith in Obama, do not feel he would go to war w/ Iran.. but fear for his life.  
 
I will be watching during the time that you suggest. Thanks for asking my opinion. </description>
