THE MAYAN Ouroboros - Red Wheel/Weiser

In March 2003, Hunbatz Men asked me to come toMexico, where we began to do deeper ceremony with tribesfrom all over Central and South America. My understandingof the true meaning of ceremony changed as I beganto go deeper and deeper into the Ancient World and closerto the Source of Life. It wasn’t until recently, in 2007, thatI actually felt that I understood what ceremony means tothe Ancient World. But the past ceremonies were necessaryfor me to reach this point where I could go beyond my whiteman education.Evolving ConsciousnessWe know that human consciousness is evolving. Science hasrecorded this evolution over long periods of time. But inrecent times, modern man has begun to accelerate its evolutionin a way that most of us have not realized. Many of youare aware that the feeling of time is speeding up, but so ishuman evolution.In the late eighties, the Encyclopedia Britannica’s editorsreleased a major discovery: if you took all the knowledgethat humanity had acquired since the beginning of our civilization,which began with the Sumerians about 6,000 yearsago, and continued to 1900 AD, that same amount of informationwould double in the fifty years from 1900 through1950.During that fifty-year period, we learned as many bitsof information, thinking in terms of computers, as we didin the previous 6,000 years! Nothing like this had ever happenedin all of known history before.12The Mayan Ouroboros
