The
Magician of Time
Lord Pakal Votan (K'inich J'anaab Pakal)
Lord Pakal Votan reigned over the Mayan empire of Nah Chan Palenque for
52 years (435-830 AD) and he was responsible for the creation of some
of the Mayan civilization's finest art and architecture. He also guided
the Mayan craftsmen of that period in the scripting of stone monuments
with precise astronomical and astrological information.
As the legend has it, Pakal Votan was a ‘Magician of Time’,
a time traveler and inter-dimensional explorer of 13 Ox Lahun Ti K'u (The
13 dimensions).
Ancient
Mayan-Itzaes proclaimed that the spirit of Pakal Votan came from the stars
to illuminate the Mayan people. They said that after arriving on earth,
he decided to teach humanity the current and mystical sciences.
The
Itzaes also say that he saw mathematics as a cerebral language that transcends
the subjectivity of human verbal experience.
In
his prophecies, Lord Pakal suggested that the closing of the fifth global
epoch will occur on December 21, 2012 AD. During the transitional phase,
the world as we know it will evolve into a different place. He said that
an unprecedented transformation would take place affecting our galaxy
and beyond.
“And to help the people of that time before the great cycle
closes, the discoverer of the message of my tomb must show the people
of the Earth the count of the tun uc, the count of the seven, the four,
and the thirteen. In this way, the knowledge of the fullness of time
will be reestablished, for lost will the people be in a count that is
crooked, the count of the false ones.”
Upon his death, according to the legend, Lord Pakal entered into the realm
of the Thirteen Dimensions, and there, they say he can observe us at any time
he wishes.
Today,
many people speculate that ‘crop circles’ may be the means
by which he is attempting to communicate.
Whatever people believe, Lord Pakal’s status among the Mayans and
many others has set him apart as one of the great iconic and mysterious
figures in history.
The following images are a pictographic story based on Mayan and Zapotec
iconography. The imagery was inspired by Lord Pakal’s teachings
about the 13 Dimensions and his prophecies about the reestablishment of
lunar time. The story line is left solely to the viewer’s imagination.
The reoccurring iconographic theme in “The Manifestation of Change”
is a Kirlian image of a finger extrapolated on PhotoShop. The iconograph
represents man in the transition from the Fifth World into the emerging
Sixth World. The “V” logogram is symbolic of Lord Pakal viewing
unfolding events from another dimension.
