The ancient Maya taught that consciousness is primary, and that matter is the manifestation of a thought, if you will, that arose in the all-encompassing primordial consciousness. This knowledge is at the core of the work of Carl Johan Calleman. He is originally a trained biologist and chemist, but he has dedicated most of his career to studying the wisdom of the Maya and has written eight books on the subject. There is a hidden meaning behind the mythical plumed serpent, theme of the Kukulcan pyramid in Chichen Itzá, Carl Johan explains: Consciousness has expressed itself gradually in the universe – it has come in nine waves. The first wave was what modern science calls the Big Bang. This worldview means that evolution undoubtedly takes place, but it is purposeful, not random. “Established science has been fighting this idea of a living universe for a long time”, says Carl Johan. Why do the structures of the universe on all levels hold together? Because there is an underlying purpose, and because the universe is holographic: an atom is subordinate to a molecule, which is subordinate to a cell, which is subordinate to a whole organism, which is subordinate to a planet, a solar system, a galaxy and so on. “Otherwise everything would be just floating around in a soup of nothingness.” Evolution is quantized, as Calleman sees it. It takes quantum leaps, namely in the form of the Mayans' nine waves, which in turn have peaks and valleys. This entails that technically advanced civilizations could not have existed before the sixth wave, which was activated in 3,115 BCE. “Yes, this is what you should expect if you adhere to the idea of a quantized evolution. It should not happen gradually.” With every new wave, a new state of consciousness becomes downloadable. The human mind changes. The peaks and valleys correspond to creative and destructive periods in humanity. The rise and the collapse of empires, for instance. The ninth wave is the final one. And it is already here. Forget the trope around 21 December 2012 – the ninth wave was activated in March of 2011. That year was indeed eventful. All the earlier waves are still running. Not every human and not every other organism will be fully influenced by the most recent wave. Some remain in a lower vibration. Myriad animals and plants that came into creation with earlier waves are still here. But the ninth wave makes it possible to reach peak consciousness. “That's where we're meant to go. That's the highest frequency.” This ascension, as some call it, will be easier for the younger generations, Carl Johan Calleman thinks. “They will be able to create  peace and unity, a form of heaven on Earth. But the time period until that happens will be very difficult. Maybe we will see a global dictatorship.”

The boys catch all the way up this week discussing covid, LAX, Cancun, Kukulcan, Bubbly, room keys, pools, booze, monkey business, beach life, fish tacos, oysters and so so much more!

The Mexican pyramids refer to the ancient pyramid complexes located in Mexico. These pyramids were constructed by various indigenous civilizations that thrived in what is now present-day Mexico. The two most well-known pyramid complexes in Mexico are Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza. Teotihuacan, located near Mexico City, was a significant pre-Columbian city during the Classic period. The Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon are the largest structures within this complex. These pyramids were constructed by the Teotihuacanos, a civilization whose identity and origins remain a subject of debate among researchers. Chichen Itza, located in the Yucatan Peninsula, was a major city of the Maya civilization. It flourished during the Terminal Classic period and was later influenced by the Toltecs. The most iconic pyramid at Chichen Itza is the Temple of Kukulcan, also known as El Castillo. This step pyramid is renowned for its precise astronomical alignments and the famous serpent shadows that appear during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Apart from Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza, there are numerous other notable pyramid complexes throughout Mexico. These include Palenque, located in the state of Chiapas, known for its intricately carved temples and the Temple of the Inscriptions; Tulum, situated on the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, featuring stunning ocean views; and Monte Alban, an ancient Zapotec city in Oaxaca, characterized by its unique architectural style. Each of these pyramid complexes showcases the remarkable achievements in architecture, engineering, and religious beliefs of the ancient Mexican civilizations. They provide fascinating insights into the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.

In a roundtable discussion recorded after the conclusion of the Galactic Spiritual Informers Connection on October 23, 2023, Alex Collier, Elena Danaan, JP and Dr. Michael Salla go over recent developments involving a sleeping giant in Florida, missing seeds from a Tree of Life, return of Quetzacoatl, and a moon crashing into Saturn. JP reveals that the missing seeds were taken to England on orders of the new British sovereign. The roundtable then discussed the connection between the sleeping giant and legendary figures such as Quetzacoatl, Viracocha and Kukulcan who were predicted to return one day. Elena presented information that the sleeping giant was awakening as a result of an activation ceremony held at the conference that was led by Quetza Shah, an indigenous Aztec/Mayan shaman. Another topic of discussion was recent news that a moon had crashed into Saturn. JP, Elena and Alex all discussed what they knew about secret operations around the vicinity of Saturn, and the connection to the return of Enki. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/exopolitics/support

ENCORE: We recently had the opportunity to visit Chichen Itza in Yucatán, Mexico. It was an incredible experience, but, being archaeologists, we of course came away with more questions than were answered! In this episode we give a brief overview Mayan civilization, including Chichen Itza, and then talk about our experience on an incredibly touristy tour!

Esta semana en Código Misterio hablaremos de la presencia de reptilianos en civilizaciones ancestrales, desde los mayas con Kukulcan, los aztecas y Quetzalcóatl, los chinos y sus dragones, los dioses Egipcios, etc. La biblia nos menciona a la serpiente como la culpable de que Adán y Eva fueran expulsados del paraíso, nos la presenta como un símbolo de perdición y mentira, mientras que otras culturas nos mencionan que estos animales son la representación de la renovación, rejuvenecimiento, conocimiento e iluminación. Teorías más recientes nos mencionan a estos seres como los encargados de infiltrarse en nuestro mundo y tratar de conquistar a los humanos a través de la implantación de códigos genéticos, será por eso que nuestro cerebro tiene una parte similar a la de los reptiles llamada: cerebro reptiliano? Sera que es cierto que personajes importantes descienden de estos seres? Acompáñame a explorar todo acerca de los reptilianos en este episodio de Código Misterio.

Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/.

En este capítulo hablaremos de el proyecto "kukulcan" del programa educativo de Ingeniería en Aeronáutico

Greetings, listeners! I cannot seem to find a source for the image I used for this episode, so if anyone wants to share one, please feel free. It's an illustration of the god Kukulcan, which is how Alamaya refers to the Red King at one point, and since I couldn't find a great illustration of him or Alamaya I decided to go with this since it looks awesome. In these chapters, Harry finally gets to meet his daughter Maggie for the first time. He doesn't get a lot of time with her, and he doesn't tell her who he is, but it's enough to motivate Harry to agree to the fight with Duchess Ariana on behalf of the Red King. Harry gets another puzzling moment where she laughs at him thinking this is about him, and tells him to die confused. But if it's NOT about him, then what's it about? Thanks so much for listening, and we will see you again soon with a new episode! Almost to the end of the book!

Juan Pablo Pinto, Ingeniero Ambiental, investigador y conservacionista, nos cuenta como ha sido la tarea de preservar el bosque nuboso de Baja Verapaz. Ha sido su sueño y su vocación recabar información acerca del bosque, hogar de infinidad de especies de plantas y animales, y trabajar para que el hogar del quetzal sea un tesoro que dure por generaciones. 

It's time to party like it's December 21st 2012, when we were all going to look up to the sky and fuckin' DIE because the Mayan Calendar said so! Did the Ancient Astronaut Theorists consult an actual Mayan expert to contribute to this episode? And de answer is...NO! But there's plenty of fear-mongering to be had as our plucky researchers wonder what the return of the 9 gods, and the return of Kukulcan, and the "living mythology" of the Maya coming true at the end of that very unfateful year. Let's do a long-count of PROOOOOOOOBING into the Doomsday Prophecies of the Maya...and some other cultures n' shit.

In a public talk in front of the Great Pyramid of Kukulcan at Chichen Itza, Berkeley Lab's Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist George Smoot discusses the remarkable precision that ancient Mayan astronomers achieved solely with the naked eye and comments on the significance of the approaching end of the current World Age of the 5,000-year-long Mayan Long-Count Calendar, due to conclude on the 2012 winter solstice. No, the end of the world is not at hand, Smoot says, but it's true that we're undergoing a fantastic transition in cosmology. The Mayan view of the universe was based on the sun and moon, a handful of planets, and a couple of thousand stars. Ours is an evolving cosmos reaching back over 13 billion years, based on a cornucopia of data accumulating almost daily and including hundreds of billions of galaxies.
