A Time-Traveler’s Guide to the Aquarian Cosmology
A Revolution in Time for the New MillenniumMandala design and concept by John Tobin

Welcome to the Mandala of Mother Time, a Time World for post-2012 consciousness, an Aquarian Time world. Mother Time is a return to sacred time. The teachings, calendars and clocks encoded within this Mandala serve to rebuild the broken bridge between Heaven and Earth. Science and spirit are harmoniously married within the Mother Time paradigm, and the long silenced Music of the Spheres is re-enchanted. All this and more is accomplished in the language and measures of time that nearly everyone on the planet already uses and understands. The Mandala of Mother Time holds the perennial cosmology of humanity.
As most readers of this site are by now aware, the 26,000 year old Mayan Calendar ends on the Winter Solstice of December 20, 2012. There are many theories and prophecies of what then will come and, really, only one thing is certain, hold onto your hat, it will be a wild ride.
However, this ‘ending’ of time also implies a new beginning, perhaps one that ushers us into a Golden Age. The Mandala of Mother Time provides a viable cosmology for a new beginning.
There are four distinct circles of knowledge within the Mandala, each of which informs all the others, for the paradigm of time held by the Mandala is cohesive and holistic. In the center is the Circle of Eternity which provides understanding of the Sacred Geometry of time and space. It describes how time emerges from Eternity, the Now in the center of time.
Surrounding the Circle of Eternity is the seven pointed Star of Gaia which offers an alternative daily vehicle of time composed of seven keys each day instead of twenty-four hours. These seven keys, the completion and long lost portion of the seven day week, open gateways to higher spiritual realities. While generating synchronicity, they foster the art of good timing within those who choose to apply the seven keys to their lives.
Next are the Serpent Moons in which two serpents twine around thirteen Moons as the Caduceus, and bite one another’s tail at the beginning and end of time, the Oroboros . This portion of the Mandala describes a lunar Tree Calendar and provides a matrix for all traditional and indigenous lunar calendars. Besides these gifts, it also presents insight into the nature of the Knowledge of the Tree of Eternal Life as offered by the Original Serpent of Eden, a deity far older than Jehovah.
The outer ring of the Mandala is the Aquarian Zodiac. It includes the Thirteenth sign, Ophicus, which leads to the Galactic Center, a crucial understanding for the 2012 event. It also holds an image of the Pleiades, the Earth’s ‘Crown Chakra’ in our relationship to the Galaxy as a whole. This portion provides a galactic calendar, the twelve measures of which are the signs of the Zodiac, that is more accurate and universal than the Julian-Gregorian calendar that currently guides (or many might say ‘mis-guides’) most human lives on Earth. The Zodiac has for millennia been the ad-hoc sacred calendar of the world and is the map of the cosmos used by astrophysicists.
All of the knowledge encoded on the Mandala of Mother Time is ancient and traditional and has stood the test of time. However it is presented in a way that is accessible to and appropriate for the emerging Aquarian consciousness which demands scientific spirituality and spiritual science. The concepts are simple to understand and to integrate into one’s personal life. However, it is no exaggeration to say that the Mother Time paradigm also holds material profound enough for several lifetimes of serious study. One can choose their own depth according to interest and predilection.
As we now enter the Aquarian Age and approach the post-2012 reality, whatever that proves to be, we literally need a new time world. This is because, practically by definition, each New Astrological Age is a new time world.
Our current Piscean time world, composed of the Julian-Gregorian calendar, established in 45 BCE by Julius Caesar at the beginning of the Piscean Age and the medieval 2×12 mechanical clock, is out of time. It no longer serves the needs of planetary consciousness and, indeed, the reigning calendar and clock are great debacles to our collective advancement. They are also the most fundamental, deeply ingrained institutions we have. They will certainly not go away just because Mother Time is a “better” system.
However, not to worry, the Mother Time paradigm also includes the Julian calendar and 2×12 clock everyone is accustomed to while providing meaning to time’s measures that goes exponentially beyond them in knowledge and beauty.
Mother Time is the time of Nature revealing the hidden nature of time.
May you journey well through all her holy veils…
