Shift
of the Ages
The
Shift of the Ages is a dramatic documentary film that reveals the
story of the Mayan culture and its sophisticated prophecies of time,
as told for the first time by the Grand Elder of the Mayan people,
Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj.
Commissioned on behalf of the Maya
nation, the Shift of the Ages is the first official discourse to the
world from the Mayan Council of Elders, intended to dispel
misconceptions and replace them with the positive story about this
incredible period of time for humanity. Known as “Wandering Wolf,”
Don Alejandro is the elected Grand Elder of the living Maya, former
Ambassador in the Guatemalan Government, and mystical Aj Q’ji, or
timekeeper of tradition.
The
film, shot over the course of seven years and in more than six
countries, follows Wandering Wolf from his early days as a shoeshine
boy on the streets of Guatemala through his coming of age and
acceptance of his spiritual destiny. The Shift of the Ages follows
him on an epic quest to recover the Sacred Staff of Authority, an
ancient object at the heart of this global awakening and subject of a
500 year old ancestral conflict that ultimately ends in the downfall
of Valentin Mejillones, an Aymaran elder in Bolivia who abused the
good will of the Mayan people for his own political gain.
The
Mayans were superb mathematicians and astronomers who devised one of
the most accurate calendars known to man. They speak of a year
“zero,” which was thought by some scholars to be 2012. Wandering
Wolf explains, however, how the Mayan calendar is cyclical, not
linear like that of Westerners who try to interpret it. He teaches us
how this “zero” time period is what the Mayans refer to as the
“change of the suns,” and clarifies this as a transition process,
not a singular day or event. Indigenous wisdom passed down to
Wandering Wolf is shared for the first time in a way that expresses
the role human consciousness plays in connecting to the universe. We
come away assured this is a time of great opportunity to heal
ourselves and our planet from wounds of the past.
Set
against the backdrop of the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar, the
film is a tightly woven tapestry of human drama and cultural history
that takes you on an adventure into the heart of the Maya, their
ancient spiritual traditions and sophisticated culture. The Shift of
the Ages beautifully illustrates the power of the human spirit.
