I have never seen a diagram that demonstrates the model of the Mayan calendar. However, I also had the "a-ha!" moment hit me over the weekend after hearing prophetic verbage on QuetzalCoatl, a "god" of the Mayan Civilization, as well as two other civilizations. During this abstract on QuetzalCoatl, they also discussed that the mayans perceived time in a different way than us today (we use the Gregorian calendar but also consider time linear). But here, first, is a picture of the Mayan Calendar. "They" say the calendar starts at 3114 BC, although Maya settlements are not documented until 1800 BC.
It's been calculated as a 5000 year calendar.
Notice the rings of characters and symbols.
Here is a "rough" idea of what the map/calendar means...
Each ring was a period or era of time. Although I have not reviewed the lengths of all the eras, "they" say that the length of each era (ring) goes from longest (outside ring) and gets shorter and shorter as the rings moves inward. It might equate to the following "eras".
Stone Age (very very very slow)
Mesolithic (very very slow)
Neolithic (very slow)
Bronze Age (slow)
(think i'm skipping one or two here!)
Industrial Age (faster)
Informational Age (think that's what we call today) (fast)
Here is what I believe puts a picture to that idea of circles of time via my chicken scratch diagram.
"They" say once we hit the very center of that ring.. it's a "crescendo" and that quite possibly, our world could change in ways we never knew or could dream up in even the most radical of science fiction. Eg, we may have different capabilities with our brains, pyschoanalytic advances that we never knew were possible. Would you agree that it "feels" like everything happens at a quick speed? Did today feel faster than a day 20 years ago? Maybe. Hard to tell. Everyone says life goes faster as you get older... but that would be the case no matter what if whichever "ring" you were on in the calendar got smaller/faster.
Ultimate Enlightenment at the time of crescendo? Perhaps. I think we'd all wish that idea.However, notice.... on the bottom I wrote how we currently view time today, in a very linear way....
Would love any of your feedback, contributions, ideas to this...

Your vehicle on Earth – the (in)capabilities of the human body
What if we were snails, or moving at snail speed? Do you think we’d be capable of watching a humming bird whiz by? Or do you think we’d be able to witness a cheetah run by at 70 mph, or that the sea existed over yonder, and that this funny thing called day and night had some consistent timing, or does it. What do you think a snail thinks about that? It doesn’t have the CAPACITY to think about it. Its body and brain are not created to take in that type of data.
Soooo…. What makes us so much better than snails? We can hear, feel, touch, taste, see, suuurrre… when you add all that up plus a bag a chips we certainly have an omnipotent list of things we humans can do, can’t we. But wait… what can’t we do?
Well, where does one start with answering that question? What can’t I see? What can’t I hear? What can’t I taste? What can’t I feel? For starters, we can only see as good as our eyes… no not the quality of our vision, but the engineering of our eyeballs; how they were designed to function, and are capable of taking in images. Same goes for all other senses; only as good as what makes up the human body. But how would we know we have limitations, if we didn’t know what other senses or capabilities we lack or are missing? How do we know, what we don’t know? It’s simple. We don’t.
But maybe with our super smart brains, we might be able to measure the breadcrumbs of what we can’t observe within the scope of our senses. And there you have the curious world of quantum physics.
If a tree was to fall in a forest and nobody was around to observe it, would that tree make a noise when it fell? But wait a minute, would that tree fall at all, if nobody was there to see it fall???? Our logic demands of course the obvious, but…..
Quantum world says…. Not necessarily. When someone or something (such as even the most delicate measuring device) is observing a situation, molecules/matter will behave how we humans EXPECT matter to behave and create a predictable outcome. But when an event is NOT observed or measured, but merely the result is reviewed, molecules behave completely different. In fact, literally FACT, molecules act like little waves, yes like little analog waves. Not only is it surprising that we’ve discovered that molecules behave like waves when they’re not observed, but that the OBSERVER, YOU; has a LOT to do with the result and outcome.
Watch Dr. Quantum Double slit theory 5 minute cartoon to see this theory demonstrated.
