The Spear Temple's Key: Vol. II and III
Author: B. Jtol
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 146534747X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
The Spear Temple’s Key: Vol. II The Spear Temple’s Key: Vol. II is a book of parables and figures of speech, similar to Vol. I. It is a book that explains the life of the saint, and the genesis of heaven. The world today makes gold miniatures of all its favorite things, yet the life from God is being separate. It gives them their proper value. These things will keep you from genesis –the beginning and end of all things. Jesus came from somewhere, otherwise why did he say his Father was greater? Heaven too, has to start someplace. God is brilliant, his stories have no end, but this is the beginning; and it only gets better. God offers redemption at any stage, best to start while the day is young. So take up the second key, passage requires your watch and cell phone. You have no need of knowing time. A cherub has returned to guard the entrance. He is hidden in the air, he wields the biggest flaming sword, and demons hate his cut because it will not heal; at least until they sear it by a sun. The Spear Temple’s Key: Vol. III The Spear Temple’s Key: Vol. III is a book of stories and figures of speech, similar to the Bible. They come in parable, and they come in strings, let them ease your soul. This is a book of grace, glory, and growth. God has been preparing these things since he was the only one like Him. The riddle can be solved by children, yet a man will have an educated guess. The deep things of God will take time to understand. The heavens are a mystery, yet the key will guide you. The heroes are here. They speak in the Spirit, God’s crew is full of life. I’ve had many crosses in my life, the temptation had to grow; and the end had to come.

Maya Calendar Origins
Author: Prudence M. Rice
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292716923
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
In Maya Political Science: Time, Astronomy, and the Cosmos, Prudence M. Rice proposed a new model of Maya political organization in which geopolitical seats of power rotated according to a 256-year calendar cycle known as the May. This fundamental connection between timekeeping and Maya political organization sparked Rice's interest in the origins of the two major calendars used by the ancient lowland Maya, one 260 days long, and the other having 365 days. In Maya Calendar Origins, she presents a provocative new thesis about the origins and development of the calendrical system. Integrating data from anthropology, archaeology, art history, astronomy, ethnohistory, myth, and linguistics, Rice argues that the Maya calendars developed about a millennium earlier than commonly thought, around 1200 BC, as an outgrowth of observations of the natural phenomena that scheduled the movements of late Archaic hunter-gatherer-collectors throughout what became Mesoamerica. She asserts that an understanding of the cycles of weather and celestial movements became the basis of power for early rulers, who could thereby claim "control" over supernatural cosmic forces. Rice shows how time became materialized—transformed into status objects such as monuments that encoded calendrical or temporal concerns—as well as politicized, becoming the foundation for societal order, political legitimization, and wealth. Rice's research also sheds new light on the origins of the Popol Vuh, which, Rice believes, encodes the history of the development of the Mesoamerican calendars. She also explores the connections between the Maya and early Olmec and Izapan cultures in the Isthmian region, who shared with the Maya the cosmovision and ideology incorporated into the calendrical systems.
