When we are cast adrift in a sea of questions, we are often faced with several resources to consider. We find comfort in repeating what we have been told, simply quoting a source from our own culture; we commonly assume others know the meaning. Not interested, we end up annoyed saying “I have other things to think about”.
And you never stop thinking, “Why am I the way I am? Why do I repeat the same incidents frequently? Why are my decisions diluted by the weight of my actions? Why am I unable to change?”
Often unanswered questions end up associated with literally absurd responses. Together they are supported by unfounded beliefs and at the moment of being questioned, the tension itself provides an escape and one simply responds: “I do not know.” “One day I will know.”
We, the heirs of the Maya science and philosophy are not at all exempt from this. All women and men ask the same questions. The complete difference in our responses lie in the continued adherence to a fundamental concept, and to date, what is still unknown in the Maya calendar: the mathematical relationship which explains the gestation of human beings. Pregnancy.
Our very own creation. The pregnant mother, builder of universes. The overall atmosphere beginning with the conjunction of the basic principles, the feminine and masculine. The complete procreation.
It is a double starting point, time and its substances in motion and the fundamental point of attention: the baby is observed as an entity capable of cognition, perception, sensitivity and response, that it means, in full consciousness.
There is a science in a continuous practice and, in the middle of its reevaluation with apprehension before the extermination, we the experts of the Maya calendar, retain with endurance, a deep knowledge who has sustained and accumulated millennia of experience.
Where are the Maya going? Where should we place this valuable heritage?
The Maya spiritual guides recognize that the impulse and character, approach and development of a human being are the result of multiple factors and components. However disturbing and unsettling, we also notice presently no one trying to resolve inconsistencies in the self, consider even useful, take into account their own gestation.
Was it a planned pregnancy? If not, what changed during that time?
We have not been told about it, no source has sought to restore the fundamental role of the mother. Moreover, those who claim to know assume she is out of the game, removed for other theories, they defer in favor of other hypotheses.
We can stay with the usual answers, including the accumulation of new irresponsibility, we can also learn to listen to other voices and this, the one that comes from the true Maya calendar, has much clarity to contribute.
