The world tree has generated the thirteen Heavens and have inspired hman creativity as well as our understanding of the Divine.
Although it is not possible to gain a detailed understanding of the origins of these Underworlds, we may surmise that they are nine sequencially activated frames of consciousness mediated by the Earths core.
Creation may be regarded as a composite of several creations, each being guilt on top of another to form a pyramidal structure, and of these cycles the Great Cycle is but one.
Today we can still see this idea of several different creations in cerimonies of the Maya, where, for instance, monkeys from a "previous creation" are sometimes enacted.
Each of the Nine Underworlds of Mesoamerican mythology is a cycle twenty times shorter than the one it was built on. This is why the most important of the Mayan Pyramids - the Temple of the Inscriptions in Palenque, the pyramid of the Jaguar in Tikal, and the pyramid of Kukulcan in Chiche'n Itz'a - were all built as hierarchical structures with nine levels.
Underworlds ae related to the sequentualy activated crystalline structures in the Earths inner core.
The beginning dates of the Creation Cycles generating these Nine Underworlds are summerized in Fig 5.3 below:
temporary setback with posting some pics. They will be here soon.
Sumerizing the various time periods that are part of the Tun-based (360 day) calendrical system of the Maya. Fig 5.4 below:
Each of the nine major creation cycles is based on a period that is a multiple of the Tun. The Tun is multiplied by twenty, different numbers of times, in such a way that a hierarchical system of time periods is generated. (note the exception, however, that there are eighteen, rather that twenty, Uinals in a Tun.)
Each of the Nine Underworlds is developed through a sequence of thirteen Heavens with seven Days and six Nights, beginning with thirteen Hablatuns in the Cellelar Underworld and continueng upward through Alautan, Kichiltun and so on.
As of 2003, we have come to the third Day of the Creation of the Eighth Underworld, the Galactic (see fig 7.1 below)
which in turn stands on the Planetary Underworld. There are now only two more Underworlds to go. The Galactic (12 years) and the Universal (260 days) until we reach the highest level of creation. Oct 28 2011. Each Underworld is also associated with a specific Yin/Yang polarity
