Here is a link:
http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/EarthSeasons.html
It's a US Navy web site. Look down to the line that says:
"Aphelion July 5 03 Solstices June 20 23 09 Dec 21 11 11"
That date, time and hour is supposedly the exact ending of the Mayan calendar cycle that everyone gets excited about.
It is also the exact date and time which Terence McKenna came to, using his Timewave theory/technique, as being the point of maximum, complete "novelty" (to use his term). He came to this date and time with no knowledge of anything about the Mayan stuff, and only learned later that there was a perfect fit between his system and theirs. His theory, for anyone who doesn't know, is based on an analysis of the King Wen sequence of the I Ching.
McKenna (who is well worth a net search -- there are plenty of streams online of his talks -- the guy is a genius) -- said that at that date/time, the entire remainder of the history of the universe happens instantaneously; that freaks my brain out, just a bit. His pet theory was that it somehow involved time travel.
Between the two of them (McKenna and the Mayans), they seem to have nailed something. And it makes it seem all the more relevant when the 11's keep coming at you.
Hence my interest in how, if at all, the 11+11 of the major acarna might fit in to the whole thing.
