TRANSITIONING TO A PLANETARY CULTURE: Trend Convergence And The Case For Socio-Cultural Transformation
Making Sense of the Human – Planetary Condition
[Update: The ongoing and developing Occupy Movement is the seedling of what I mean by a Planetary Culture. As we progress toward the Solar maximum of 2012-13 we will continue to see an intensification in all areas of our experience. We are witnessing what the Legend of 2012 is all about]

A Forgotten Language
In part one of Prophecy Demystified I sought to explain how the popularized and corrupted notion of prophecy has come to mean specific events-predicted long ago and to occur at some singular point in the future. A case of mythic illiteracy.
Mythic illiteracy is what Eric Fromm’s book The Forgotten Language is all about.
Mythic illiteracy means we no longer understand the language modern humans have used for 99.5% of their 200,000 year history. The mythic language refers to symbols, imagery, allegory and metaphor as used to convey meaning, understanding and the deeper truths of reality.
Western culture became mythically illiterate when we began to interpret mythic texts in literal terms. And nothing has caused more confusion in the modern mind than the literal interpretation of mythic texts such as the Bible and in particular what has come to be known as “prophetic text”.
The Real Meaning of Prophecy
What popularizers call prophecy is better understood as a recurrent theme which is either culture specific or universal in nature.
Popularized prophecy claims are usually referring to the ending, resolution, transitional or transformative stage of a story.
The mythic illiterate misinterpret the events detailed in the closing chapters of ancient stories as yet to occur, when if fact they occur “all the time”.
Either the sun has reached high noon and is now setting or the sun has reached the highest point in the sky on the summer solstice and has begun to set towards the winter solstice.
The primary difference between each occurrence is one of scale and magnitude, yet the theme remains the same.
Understanding the fractal nature of things and reality helps to understand what is meant by theme recurrence.
Whether it is a cell dividing, or a business opening another branch or a human mother giving birth, the theme of each instance is basically the same– renewal, transition and emergence into a new realm of set of circumstances.

Anticipating Personal and Collective Shifts in Relation to MMAC Time Science
The word shift is commonly used in reference to the motifs associated with the 2012-“End of the Mayan Calendar” phenomena (2012-MC). The expectations of those most realistically attuned to the mytho-symbolic significances of 2012-MC sense that there are large scale socio-cultural shifts in the works. Emergent-Culture.com is essentially dedicated to the planet wide socio-cultural movement (planetary culture) that I believe lies at the heart of the “co-incidence” between the end of the 5125 year Maya Long Count Cycle and the unprecedented levels of socio-economic turbulence seen all around the world.
The notion of mere “coincidence” is dispelled once one understands what the Ancient Mesoamericans (Maya, Toltecs, Olmecs, etc) discovered about the nature of time and reality. I use the the term Ancient Mesoamericans because precolumbian Mesoamerica was home to upwards of 80 different tribes and most followed the same calendrical system. Additionally the Maya were not the first to use the core of the Mesoamerican calendrical system—-the tzolkin cycle. Although they were the ones who developed Mesoamerican calendrics to its highest degree. I also prefer to use Ancient Mesoamericans because it helps differentiate between present day Mesoamericans and those who lived in Middle America prior to the European invasion.
Since it was the ancient ones who were responsible for the development of Maya-Meso-American Calendrical system. (MMAC)
And What is Time?
In the Western world time is a very muddled concept. Western science is only now beginning to acknowledge that their classical conception of time is ill defined, overcomplicated and just plain wrong. Have a look at Wikipedia’s treatment of time to get a taste of what I mean. Time has been so misunderstood that Western scholars have written entire books about the subject without reaching any kind of conclusion or consensus about what time is.
Those of you familiar with my writings on time and Mesoamerican calendrics (calendar/time science) know that from my vantage point, time is nothing more than movement and that’s how the Ancient MesoAmericans (AMA) saw it as well. Albeit a special kind of movement.Something I call ordered movement. There are various definitions of time and many are useful, but I’m talking about time in the most fundamental of terms. Time is not the fourth dimension as Einstein believed.[…]
[NOTE: The foregoing paragraphs serve as an introduction to a chapter on my developing book on The Legend of 2012. The remaining text below this note is the tail end of the chapter where I show how one may apply MMAC time science to one’s life in order to anticipate significant personal life events, and as a way to self validate what I consider to be the most profound and universally relevant cosmology (worldview) presently available. It is universally relevant because it applies to everyone regardless of whether one believes in it or not. It is universally relevant because it’s a mesocosmically scaled cosmology and that means that you don’t need to understand equations or use special tools to observe and appreciate, e,g. microscope, telescope.
The chapter goes on to develop the idea of time as ordered movement/change and of how the earth’s basic movements translate into the scheduled and sequential movements of all organisms. The mechanism is detailed down to the DNA molecular level in an attempt to show how all of life unfolds to the beat of some cosmic piper. The piper’s “musical score” is intrinsic to the earth’s movements, the workings of DNA code and all human activity in general. I suggest that the Ancient Mesoamericans discerned the cosmic score from their study of astronomical and earthly cycles both overt and subtle. Some cycles are so subtle that no other culture discovered them. The most subtle of these cycles were encoded into their Tzolkin cycle calendar.
I also relate the tzolkin and genetic codes and then show their relationship to the implicate and explicate orders that the Physicist David Bohm describes in his Holomovement cosmology. This article focuses on a particular type of movement we call a shift or transition. These shifts happen at predictable time scales because the growth and development of all organisms happen according to timing constants built into the very fabric of our reality. It seems that the AMA discovered those constants. The following excerpt tells you how to apply those constants.] click here to read entire article
