The Mayans had a term for this transitional period: the “Time of no time.”
by David Ian Cowan
The signs are everywhere: economic crisis, dramatic hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and increased rates of species extinction. According to Cowan, we are in the midst of a 25-year transitional period of planetary shift as our solar system approaches the Galactic Photon Band, a shift that is also affecting our perception of time.
The Mayans had a term for this transitional period: the “Time of no time,” indicating that, post-2012, time as we know it or experience it may not exist or will have changed dramatically.
Cowan synthesizes a broad range of perspectives about this time of transition, from the writings of the ancient Mayans, Aztecs and Incas, to speculative theory, quantum physics, philosophy, and the nature of illusion and reality posed by a range of theorists and academics including Ken Carey, Barbara Hand Clow, William Gammill, Zecharia Sitchin, Carl Calleman, Gary Renard, Ken Wapnick and Brent Haskell.
He also lets us know what to expect as events continue to unfold and how to navigate this time of change.
