These are obviously dire times for the United States. The attributes that in the view of most have made the US a powerful country respected for its leadership are being dismantled and replaced by new institutions that potentially threaten its long-standing democracy as well as its international pre-eminence. At the current time, very few people seem to be at ease in this country and the situation has effects on their psychological wellbeing. The changes that are reducing US dominance on the world stage may superficially seem to originate only in its domestic political situation, but this is viewing it from a very limited perspective. While there can be no denying of the role of the current US administration in bringing these changes about, its actions are part of a larger process, which it is important to understand.,
Ultimately, the political changes are instead products of a significant shift of a non-materialist nature in the global balance of power, changes that we can see clearly explained by the Mayan calendar system. The alterations are essentially products of a shift of power from the West to the East, manifested not only in the chaos in the US itself and its foreign policies, but also through the rise of China and its allies preparing to take over the leadership of the world. This was exemplified in the military parade in Beijing on September 5 celebrating the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII. Notably this parade featured Vladimir Putin of Russia and Kim Jong Un of North Korea and even Narendra Modi of India, a traditional centre of Eastern thinking that had been pushed in Russia’s direction by the US tariffs directed against it. As expected, the parades displayed very little of the chaos or disorganization which has become typical of the West.
This shift from West to East is only in the beginning and will not be fully completed for some time. Yet, it is an integral and predictable part of a series of such shifts that have taken place in the Mayan Sixth Wave (also known as the “Long Count”) since it was activated in 3115 BCE (see the diagram below). This Wave – which was one of those that the ancients referred to as Plumed Serpents – feature time periods of peaks or valleys that are each 394.3 years long. Its peaks are time periods when Western empires have dominated. The last such peak period ended October 28, 2011, which has resulted in a profound transformation of the world. This wave has driven the evolution of empires from small local ones such as that of Egypt to global ones like the British. In its downturn, the dominance of the British Empire and other West European colonial powers during the previous peak (1617-2011 CE) gradually came to an end. Since this date and the shift into a valley, the dominance of Western power, especially of the United States has begun to decline. Since this date the world has moved into a valley of the Sixth Wave, which also is known as a “Dark Age.”
The Mayan calendar perspective is that it is the Wave movements that determine what time periods we can talk about as light and dark from a Western perspective, and we may note that in this time period the United States has begun to lose a large number of its allies and there is little to indicate that they are soon coming back to stay.

Fig 1. The peaks and valleys (or “days” and “nights”) of the Mayan Sixth Wave.
It is quite difficult to predict in its details how such a Dark Age, which we recently entered, will manifest, but as shown in the diagram above, Western empires collapsed or at least seriously declined at the beginning of such time periods. In the specific case of the wave that trended down in 2011 we have seen the pandemic, escalation of climate change and its effects, and industrial scale warfare in Ukraine and Gaza. The failure of US leadership in the face of these phenomena is consistent with the downturn of this Wave.
While the peaks in the wave movement of the Mayan Sixth Wave create empires of Western dominance, the valleys display a pattern of supporting empires and powers that in contrast are based in the East. For example, the Fifth valley (434-829 CE) brought not only a loss of dominance of the West Roman Empire in favor of the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire, but also the emergence of early Islamic civilization and the various powerful califates that this was constituted by. The beginning of the 6th Valley (1223-1617 CE) is even more relevant to our current world situation, since its onset coincided with the creation of the Mongol Empire. This is the largest empire that the world has ever seen, stretching all the way from Korea to Eastern Europe and including what had been the Kievan Rus civilization in current day Ukraine. This empire came to be anchored in China where the Yuan dynasty would rule it. One thing that is remarkable in this is that the Mongol Empire of the sixth night seems totally parallel to the alliances that are now in the seventh night being built up by China with Russia and North Korea (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aH6rGs-_Q4). It should also be noticed that as part of this reorganization an alliance was recently established between Mongolia, China and Russia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwdY-1gzQkg). If the US gives up on Ukraine, the parallel between the Mongol Empire and the current Xi-Putin-Jong-Un alliance becomes remarkably clear even if the latter alliance has a more northern direction of expansion.

Fig 2. The Mongol Empire at its height.
The first thing to conclude from this shift on a global scale is that the plight many Americans are feeling at the current time is not merely a product of US domestic politics, regardless of how painful these may be, but that they ultimately originate as a product of an essentially unstoppable and predetermined change in the dominating power structure of the world from West to East. The energy and distribution of power on our planet is changing its direction and as a result the US is losing its coherence and reliability and with this many of its previous allies are distancing themselves. China, meanwhile, is getting stronger and expanding its sphere of influence and collaborations. Whether we like it or not, this is a change that is created by a predetermined Wave movement and something that at least in the big scale of things is actually “meant to happen.”
For years I have been saying that this shift was coming, simply because, as I think should be obvious from this, it is predictable from the shifting cosmic energies described by the Mayan calendar. If such a shift were not happening, it would be more problematic for the veracity of the Mayan calendar system and in this case its Sixth Wave. The power of such a geographical shift is so strong that the ability of humans to alter it is very limited. Some may want to compare it to a pole shift of an electromagnetic nature, but this is not really accurate. The shift is more like a Yang/Yin polarity shift in consciousness influencing the relationships between global hemispheres and in the diagram below we can see how this field looks on the global level in the peaks (above) and valleys (below). Yang, the field that is symbolized by light, is here meant as a symbol of the expansive field of creation, whereas Yin stands for the absence of such potential expansiveness. From the nature of this field, we can understand why the peaks have favoured the Western Hemisphere and fostered creativity there.

Fig 3. The filters of the peaks (above left) and valleys (below left) as well as the resonance between the Earth and the human mind (right).
What is happening at the present time is that the global field is changing from that of a peak to that of a valley and as that happens, the “light” goes out from the Western Hemisphere. But as we could see from the sinusoidal wave movement of the Sixth Wave (Fig 1) the transition from one state to another is gradual and will take place over a period of time. The effects of this transition are however not only in terms of the geopolitical state of our planet, as I have already described in Fig 1, but also on the way of being and thinking of individual human beings, which has implications for their minds. The geometrically structured field of the peak is replaced by a unity in the dark (Fig 3) and since the brain hemispheres are in resonance with the global hemispheres, as we can see to the right in the image, the minds of human beings are changed by this transition. Certainly, the science and ways of understanding reality that previously dominated in the peak state will be questioned and often not on a rational basis.
There are several consequences of this shift from peak to alley also on the individual level. The end to the duality ruling during the peak states and their replacement of a unified dark field means that the inner dialogue between brain hemispheres is diminished. The relationship between brain hemispheres and their respective mentalities is in my view not a static one, but on the contrary a dynamic one which is subject to the shifting states of consciousness. As a result, people who go through this shift between the two states may be less inclined to approach reality rationally or discuss matters openly within themselves or with others. This by itself will favor a mentality supportive of autocracy without debate. The shift from the upper to the lower global field in Fig 3 will mean that people will undergo a shift between two different ways of perceiving reality. People who have perceived reality through the filter of the peak (see left above) will transfer to the filter of the valley (see left below) and so we may understand that humanity in the recent time period of this transition has undergone a major change in its attitudes. The very shift in perception given by the two types of filters will for instance naturally create a relativization of truth. What used to seem true in the peak state will not look the same with the filter of the valley; because of the relativization of this perception of reality lying becomes a common if not normal phenomenon to be expected from many in leadership positions. If truth is seen as relative, anything you say can be accepted.u
This relativization of truth also inevitably leads to a relativization of ethics and will leave many people at a loss as to what to believe or how to navigate reality. In this situation there is also a host of possible mental disorders or psychotic reactions that may emerge on a collective scale. In the past thirty years there has for instance been a quite dramatic increase in several metal disorders, such as ADHD, Autism and school shootings. To consider that all of these phenomena began to emerge already around the millennium shift, we may note that the transition from one state to another has a sinusoidal form and does not happen instantaneously. I am not implying that there is a linear causation between for instance the shift in consciousness and autism, but certainly that the new state of consciousness and the transition to it, may provide conditions that are conducive to certain mental disoreders.
Moreover, that a shift in consciousness would be behind these phenomena is at least in my view a much more credible explanation than vaccines, Tylenol or any other kind of chemical exposure. Given the intimate relationship between mind and body, I also think that we have reasons to expect that this shift has consequences for many aspects of somatic health at least until a new equilibrium is reached. Yet, the materialist thinking of most scientists (including alternative ones) prevents the more reasonable hypothesis based on consciousness from being adequately tested.
Another manifestation of this shift in consciousness is a growth of unfounded conspiracy theories. Again, the shift may cause such an alteration of human perception that it becomes necessary for some to fill in the gaps. Hence, for a number of people, the solidity of rules to live by will also be lost because of the relativization of ethics, and even if to some this means fanatically staying with what they already believed, for others it may lead to acts of violence. Almost everyone will also suffer from the shift in the relationship between the two states in the images above simply because their long held convictions may no longer apply. The problems mentioned here are in addition to the consequences for the US on the global stage mentioned initially.
Yet, what is happening now may ultimately be aimed to create a unity in the world even if the path there is not linear and requires a series of many difficult steps that are outside the scope of the present discussion. Needless to say, a unified world dominated by the East will not be to the liking of most Westerners, at least not based on how the East looks now, but it deserves to be pointed out that in a world driven by wave movements (there are nine major waves of creation in the Mayan creation system) the pendulum of history will continue to swing and what may seem to be the situation at the current time may be radically altered. History will yet have several profound changes to move through as determined by the higher, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Waves and this will come to affect not only the West but also the East. It is essentially through these higher waves that I think there may be hope for a better world. The shift described here, however, has far-reaching consequences not only for the economic and military geopolitics of the world, but also most likely for the mental health of its population. Especially in the West, it may be painful to be part of an empire that has dominated the world and is now declining in power and quite possibly heading for an economic collapse. Such projections are however notably different from the unfounded idea that the Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world. What it does do however is to sometimes predict changes that not all inhabitants of our planet prefer.
This understanding of our current situation and what is now to come is based on a division of the globe in four directions, much in accordance with how ancient and indigenous peoples looked upon the creative forces of the world: Human beings all over this planet, download different cosmic energies during different time periods created by the “Plumed Serpents” and, as a result their creative powers the states of consciousness will alternate in accordance with a precise rhythm. The Earth itself is at the centre of this world view of changing geographical directions that describes how we are downloading cosmic guidance for ourselves as individuals as well as for our larger collective geopolitical structures. Unfortunately, modern science has completely disregarded this model of understanding, but the longer this denial continues the more at a loss people will be and the less power they will have to direct their future. Thus, to gain a positive view of what is happening, it is necessary to recognize that the pendulum of history swings all by itself. This includes the swings by the higher waves of creation, but to describe these a much larger background than has been presented here. Yet, based on the model of evolution on which this discussion was based, one with very significant evidence, it seems important for people to know what forces are driving us towards our future and how we can find beneficial means to relate to them.
For these reasons, I am inviting you to a course with five modules (200 USD) starting September 27 (https://calleman.com/the-basics-of-the-mayan-calendar-andwhat-we-may-do-to-prepare-for-the-future/) that covers how the evolution of the world is directly subject to the evolution of consciousness, which is knowledge unknown to most people. Yet, this information is as I see it crucial for anyone who wants to know where we come from and where we are going. For further information and registration to this course please go to https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/nh6p77c .

Can I ask if this program is the same as the two I have already attended? Any new information shared?
Yes, this would be essentially the same Frank, but of course there is always some
evolution of the material.
Thank you. I will register for your class soon. Tomorrow is my birthday. I’m going to be 79 years of age.
I’m energized to receive this direction regarding future, helpful , encouraging perspective.

Interesting theory. However, there is so much you do not know about the current situation and how it will play out. Your Mayan theories are only based on the Mayan calendar and what you believe you have understood. The East has been a terrible mess, lacking any democracy for a long time. China was completely destroyed by communism. The recent guy who took power is a dictator. God help us if totalitarian Asian leaders take over the world!!! But thank god, that won’t actually happen. We are going towards a new paradigm where no area will “control” the world. This is what you are missing. The ET war and it coming to an end. MY 2 cents.
It seems that you misinterpret me as thinking that the East taking over the world dominance is a good thing. I am not advocating an Eastern takeover, only pointing to it happening. I am not trying to make a case of what I personally like. It seems to me that you have a quite negative view of the Mayan calendar system and it is possible that you have not studied it.
Hi Carl, we’ve spoken before. Autism can be bad for some, those affected by the vaccines, but those with ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger’s syndrome, and ‘natural’ autism, all have Attention Differently Directed, not Attention Deficit Disorder. Our attention is to the right brain and heart of Connection, with intuitions from the knowing of the quantum field; connection with inspiration, passions for good, and wanting to help others.
To know this more deeply to spread accurate understanding, please read a couple of my papers at my website: HeartCenteredMinds.com. The long ones are more in depth, but the short papers talk of the same truths. The consciousness of the Divine is ever present and inviting, as Patricia Albere speaks of also, as you know and support. A talk I gave is on YouTube: Spectrum Learning Differences, Not Disorders (1hour, 12 min., or so) At the end of the talk I was more or less asked, how do we educate kids like this? My example, and times since then in 2011 when I gave my talk, speak of PBL, project/interest based learning, building on our innate knowings from the quantum field (Right brain open to that), and our linear left brain used to create solutions based on those inspirations for good. You should add me to your talks so people can be informed of this, understand why these individuals are different, and are encouraged themselves to get out of our over-focus on the left, separatist brain, as it is now disconnectuvely used, separate from the right brain. This balance seemingly is the balance sought by all people and civilizations the world over. Thanks always for your long research and knowledge..

Yes, I think you are essentially right that there are a number of conditions that are created by this consciousness shift that should not be qualified as disorders and those that have them may be more serving than others, but I do not think this detracts from the suggestion that there are also phenomena such as school shootings that are caused by the same shift.

I wish you good luck with your worthy project.
Having seriously studied Carl’s “Purposeful Universe” alongside the ancient Indian treatises on “Yuga”, where the cyclic influence of ‘time’ on human Consciousness is well documented, I can say for certain that these energy shifts are real. These energy shifts are impersonal, and they are not working for or against any civilisation or culture or US or China or anything like that. They are what they are, just as how the sunlight is. It is up to us to understand it and take whatever precautions one need to take, like using an umbrella if we have to walk in the sunlight. To my understanding, the only way for us humans to protect against the vagaries of these energy shifts is to CONSCIOUSLY raise our individual CONSCIOUSNESS and our individual vibrations. How to do that, is the essence of many esoteric teaching.s. This way, we are not psychologically affected in any manner, regardless of whatever happens around us. There is no other way. All these talks about West ruling East / East ruling West are all human constructs with no real value. In the ultimate understanding.
The difference between the Yugas and the Mayan calendar is of course that you can see a clear pattern at certain time points when you Mayan calendar. The similarity is that the Hindus like many other cultures had a cyclical view of time, but it should no be lost on something that only the Mayan calendar system gives precise times for these cycles which I showed an example on in this article. In my view it is then meaningful for us to talk exactly about China and US and East and west. This is how the evolution of consciousness plays out with the rise and fall of empires as those that have studied can identify. Yes, ultimately this play of empires is subject to the evolution of consciousness but only if the cosmic plan supports the raising of consciousness (essentially the ninth Wave) will it be able for us to raise human consciousness on a larger scale. It is in other words not something that is separate from the large scale collective evolution.
Indeed, Carl. Looks like the Mayans always had the macrocosmic knowledge of the impact of time-space continuum as well as the knowledge of it’s fractals to microcosmic levels in equal measures. With respect to Indian knowledge of Yugas, while they had the macroscopic view in general, it’s application at individual levels formed an entirely different branch of knowledge called Vedic Astrology. There are several such people even today who predicted exactly the same views as you did in your article. For example, https://youtu.be/A5MGLhIEbvE?si=c1MrCH43Ug5MKWMS. They do this by studying the exact time and and exact location of the birth of the individual or the nation. So the knowledge was / is available in different formats in most ancient cultures. This is my current understanding.
Likewise, majority of the people lead an unconscious life, driven by their tendencies, and, yes their freedom from the grips of their unconsciousness will happen only when the cosmic energies shift accordingly. But the individual is always free to live CONSCIOUSLY by choice. Otherwise , our life will become a onesided play, like that of poultry birds. If such individual choices are not there, we cannot explain how people like Jesus, Plato, Aristotle, etc functioned with higher levels of awareness even in the darkest periods of the Western world! To my mind, energy shifts are like the mass promotion and graduation by the grace of Nature. By the same analogy, even in the 9th cycle, there will be humans in smaller numbers with low awareness.
I have read and felt your books and are very intrigued by the this evolution. I also read and listen to Gregg Braden. Much of your and his work seem to overlap closely. Are you and him acquainted? Have you worked together? And if so are there any big differences in your interpretation of the Mayan calender?
I think there are very significant differences between our view point. Braden advocated decmmber 21, 2012 as an end point of the Mayan calendar and as we know nothing of what he had predicted happened on that date. More important He does not recognize nine waves of creation. He has provided no explanation of the Plumed Serpent, etc. The fact that someone uses the word Mayan is not a reason to a similarity.
Yes, I was very disappointed when Greg and others were predicting the catastrophic end of life in 2012. I agree with the polarity shift from west to east.
What you have the right to expect from a real scientist is that if they make a wrong prediction they at least should recognize
that they were wrong and maybe come with some alternative model for how to understand the course of events.
This theory is certainly imaginative, viewing global shifts through a Mayan lens and peak-valley consciousness fields. While the idea of the light going out from the West is amusingly dramatic, perhaps we shouldnt be losing too much sleep over it. It’s a relief to know that complex phenomena like school shootings and the US losing allies can be neatly bundled into a cosmic Wave movement rather than, you know, mundane causes. Let’s embrace the inevitable shift with open arms, maybe stock up on autocratic-approved truth serum, and enjoy the ride as the global field wobbles from peak to valley. After all, history swings, and soon enough, someone else will be writing the confusing narrative.vòng quay may mắn
I was shocked to see that you did not understand what autism is, giving in to ableism by referring to it as a mental disorder (thank you, Peggy Magilen). You are also falling into the trap of a fascist perspective. This is very serious. Your approach, which tends to portray “the East” as a future unified superpower that will ultimately impose itself on “the West” (if that means anything, given that the terms are biased), stems from a binary perspective that expresses nothing more than discursive ease in the face of current economic data. Until now, I thought you were taking a visionary explanatory approach, but since this addition at the end of September, I am revising my judgment and questioning the basis of your analysis. What if you have been wrong from the start? What if, in this apparent movement toward unification (which has proven to be a failure with many states in violation), we do not have one pole replacing another, and the Mayan calendar has nothing to do with this trend?
I have no idea of how you came to the conclusion that I have come to a fascist perspective.
I am not presenting what I think I would like to see happen personally, but what the Mayan calendar is
implying. If you question this it would have been better if you scrutinized the underlying data
and the process of evolution of the Plumed Serpent rather than just expressing what you yourself would
like to see happen. Even if I have been pointing to such a shift from West to East for a long time it is
not any longer a controversial viewpoint but a lot of observers (who know nothing about the Mayan calendar system)
are saying the same thing based on the development of the BRICS countries etc. Who can today denied that the US
is losing its global leadership role? It would serve you to study the Mayan calendar in depth rather than just
expressing your opinions.
Dear Mr. Callaman, thank you for your lifelong work. I caught on to your teachings right at the beginning, when your first book was published here in the Czech Republic. I continue to study you, give lectures, and write on Facebook. You are a constant source of inspiration to me. I was thrilled by the idea of the Ninth Wave, and I immediately decided to jump on board and align myself with it. Based solely on this decision, things began to happen in my life that constantly pushed me toward this level of consciousness, and I think this is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me, if not the greatest. I am still discovering new things that I didn’t notice during my first readings, and I thank you again and again and wish you all the best.
Thank you Helena,
This is very good for me to hear. Please keep inspiring others to align with a higher state of consciousness. Regards Carl
Dear Carl,
I have realized that after reading your books I am now in the position I can well understand current changes in the world based on the quantum leap changes of human consciousness that take place. Your books are for me like basic books at the grammar school without which I would never ever be able to build the accepting of further knowledge like understanding information from interstellar and inner earth civilizations as these ones on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHLaJQVrxwo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnBwlcUwWuE

Thank you so much for your very honest and hard work, Carl!
