Summary. An earlier study showed that the frequency of seismic activity in the lower mantle near the earth's core is systematically related to the structure of the Mayan calendar. The number of earthquakes decreased during the Days of the Galactic Underworld and rose during the Nights. A count of lower mantle earthquakes during the recently completed fifth Day confirmed this relationship. The variations in seismic activity are seen as the physical correlate of pulses of a universal consciousness field. The results are interpreted to mean that the consciousness field waxes during the Day to inhibit processes that increase uncertainty. It wanes during the Night to give free rein to unstructured activities which provide new material for creative processes in the following Day.
A previous study examined the relationship between earthquakes and the structure of the Mayan calendar. That study found that the number of earthquakes in the lower mantle alternated in successive 360-day periods corresponding to the Days and Nights of the Galactic Underworld. The earthquake count decreased during the Day and increased during the Night (see Treurniet (2007a), Treurniet (2007b)). Such an oscillating pattern was predicted by a model proposed by Calleman (2004). An essential element of the model is a universal consciousness field mediated or focused by the earth's iron core. The field's periodicity determines the lengths of a particular Underworld's Days and Nights.
The earlier study used earthquake data up to November 24, 2006, the end of the fourth Night. The trend up to that point predicted that the earthquake frequency should be less than 33 during the next Day. This prediction was confirmed after November 19, 2007, when 20 lower mantle earthquakes were found to have occurred during the fifth Day. Figure 1 shows the available data for the Galactic Underworld period, including the new data point for the fifth Day.

According to Calleman's model, a creative impulse is delivered by the universal consciousness field during the Day periods of the Underworlds. Therefore, the decrease in lower mantle earthquake frequency during the Days would be due to a dampening effect of the universal consciousness field on energetic processes near the earth's core.
The notion of the consciousness field as a damper on randomness in the world is appealing, and supports other aspects of Calleman's interpretation of the Mayan calendar. The creative process at work during the Days in the physical, biological, and social spheres would be facilitated by a dampening of undirected activity. The field waxes during the Day, not to enforce creative action, but to remove impediments to it. The field wanes during the Night to encourage unstructured activities which provide new material for creative processes during the following Day. This result is analogous to the effect of mutations in genetics which introduce new possibilities for adapting to the environment. It should be noted that recognizing the Night as a time of preparation for the following Day is not incompatible with Calleman's view that the important activities during the Night are reactions to changes set in motion the previous Day.
The creative impulse of the universal consciousness field is effective because it inhibits processes that increase uncertainty. Of course, the ultimate reduction of uncertainty would be obtained when everything is interconnected. This resonates with the mystical idea of cosmic awareness. Perhaps persistent interference by the universal consciousness field with processes that increase uncertainty will inevitably lead to such a state of being. However, the time available may be limited since the creative impulses are expected to end with the Mayan calendar.
