Mayan Calendar - a different theory on "time" and how it passes

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...
