“Hunab Ku” the Trilogy is a a stunning, deep space, electronic music composition based on ancient Mayan cosmological term for the “galactic center of the galaxy.” Loop began composing and performing the first of the “Hunab Ku” trilogy in 1990 in Santa Fe, New Mexico and has continued.

“After reading Jose Arguelles’ writings, I realized that what he was describing as being a shift in consciousness coming at the ‘end of time’ of the Mayan Calendar at 2012, I came upon several realizations. One, was that Arguellas described the “Hunab Ku” being the galactic radio waves emanating from the galactic center were ‘shifting.” This concept coincided with a ‘feeling’ or intuition that we were in the beginning stages of this cosmic energy shift. The Berlin Wall had just come down in the late 80s and there was an incredible surge of ‘energy’ going on for change. I felt that I needed to express this energetic shift happening in music and thus the Trilogy.” This trilogy represents the cosmic vibrations, emitted from the “Hunab Ku” which are changing our consciousness and our DNA, preparing for the next phase of our evolution.

Loop has performed the various stages of “Hunab Ku” the Trilogy at the Berkeley Arts Center (Berkeley, CA), the Brooklyn Festival for the Arts (Brooklyn, NY), and Guadalupe Church (Santa Fe, NM) and the Outpost Performance Space (Albuquerque, NM). As an electronic composer, his works have been performed at the New Music America Festival in 1990, the Concentration New Music Series, Center for Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe, NM “Contemporary Music Series,” the Cell Space (San Francisco, CA) and the “Synapse Electronic Arts Series” (Sausalito, CA) at Cobalt Sun.

Dwight’s work has been heard on many public radio stations around the world and he was the host of the acclaimed new music radio program, “Earwaves” from 1977-2001 on KUNM=FM in Albuquerque, NM KSFR-FM in Santa Fe, NM. He is currently co-director of Cobalt Sun Studios in Sausalito and is a member of ambient electronic group Tropozone. His recordings “Hunab Ku-Live” and “Mystery’s River” were released on Third Ear and his upcoming CD “Dream Jungle” will be released in the spring of 2006.

“Hunab Ku” The Mayan story.

The classic Mayan civilization of Central America existed from 200-400 A.D. through 830 A.D., during which they built their astronomical and ceremonial centers in stone. The Maya saw science and spirituality as interrelated: astronomy, astrology, numerology, time keeping, biological rhythms, art and architecture, myth and history – were all viewed together as vital elements of their holistic philosophy of life.

To the Maya all the stuff of the universe was an intelligent energy, which they called Hunab Ku. Hunab Ku was the omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent life force, everywhere present, everywhere alive and active. Hunab Ku literally means the “One Giver of Movement and Measure.” Hunab Ku encompasses all of life and gives literal movement and measure to all of the intelligent energy in the universe. Hunab Ku is the director of life, the Absolute Being, God – Spirit.

In Mayan thought, human beings are seen as projections and reflections of that Cosmic Consciousness which is Hunab Ku. One translation for the word human is, “hu” God, expressing through “man.” The Maya saw the entire universe as Hunab Ku. Each individual was one with every other being – the very same entity.

Hunab-Ku The supreme deity in the Mayan pantheon. Invisible, emmanent, and formless, He is the husband of Ixazalvoh and the father of Itzamnaj. To the extent that He has a definable essence, He is often referred to by the style "Eyes and Ears of the Sun".

“Hunab Ku” is the galactic radio station, according to Mayan history. The name is given to the supreme God of Maya, as well as the gateway to other galaxies beyond our sun. Staring at the symbol is thought to allow us to transcend the barriers of perception and time.

The ancient symbol represents the joining of opposites, “Hunab” meaning “one state of being.” and Ku” means God. The archetype of the Hunab Ku is the “space between” that reflects oneness with God and the unity of all things.

“Hunab Ku” is the intelligence that lives at the center of our galaxy. The Hunab Ku transmits constant beams of aetheric flux, which have diverse properties and influence the laws of physics in the volume of their radiance. The process is analogous to a lighthouse beam which constantly rotates so that light is visible in the circle. the difference here, is that “searchlight beams” are all of different colors. though of similar physical extent. .

Interesting story!

Radio bursts from the Galactic Center (Hunab Ku)

Los Angeles, Alta California - October 18, 2005 - (ACN) On March of this year, physics professor and astronomer Scott Hyman of Sweet Briar College made a startling announcement. Dr. Hyman and his colleagues wrote in the science journal Nature that they had detected something very extraordinary at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. While analyzing low frequency radio wave images taken by the Very Large Array telescope at Socorro, New Mexico in 2002, Dr. Hyman and his his fellow researchers detected an intermittent signal that seemed intelligently directed. The signal consisted of five highly energetic radio emissions of equal brightness that lasted 10 minutes each and appeared every 77 minutes over a 7-hour period from September 30 to October 1. The discovery has left Professor Scott Hyman and the entire astronomy community "scratching their heads".

What are these strange rumblings at the center of our Galaxy? Modern day astrophysicists and astronomers, with their sophisticated scientific instruments, are not the only humans that have contemplated this very same question. In fact, the ancient Mayas, the superb astronomers and mathematicians that they were, also mused on what may exist at the center of our Galaxy. The Mayas knew exactly where this center was located in the sky and had a glyph representing it named Hunab Ku by Dr. Jose Arguelles of Princeton University, but known to the Mayas as "The Galactic Butterfly". Much more, their entire cosmology and extremely accurate calendars were based on the existence and location of Hunab Ku and they believed that the future of mankind ultimately depends on what occurs there.

Dr. Scott Hyman records energetic radio emissions from the Galactic Center (Hunab Ku).
Hunab Ku was, to the Mayas, the supreme God and ultimate Creator. It represented the gateway to other Galaxies beyond our Sun as well as all of the Consciousness that has ever existed in this Galaxy. Hunab Ku, according to the Mayas, is also the Consciousness which organized all matter, from a "whirling disk", into stars, planets and solar systems. Hunab Ku is the "Mother Womb" which is constantly giving birth to new stars and it gave birth to our own Sun and Planet Earth. They also believed that the "Creator" directs everything that happens in our Galaxy from its center through the emanation of periodic "Consciousness Energy" bursts. Today, modern astronomers have verified that at the center of our Galaxy is a "whirling disk" with a "Black Hole" at its center that is both swallowing and giving birth to stars. Could the strange rumblings observed by Dr. Scott Hyman and his associates earlier this year at the center of our Galaxy be connected with what the Mayas believed?

There appears to be a convergence between what the Mayas believed and understood and what modern scientists are discovering about our Galaxy today. One big difference is how modern physicists view and how the ancient Mayas viewed "Time". Today, physicists view Time as being linear. Time according to modern precepts flows in a straight line. Time can slow down, as per Albert Einstein, but it always flows in one direction. In contrast, the Mayas believed essentially that Time flows in a circle. There is a beginning and an end to things but there is a renewal at the end of the Time cycle. There is a "periodicity" to all manifested phenomena. The Mayan highly accurate Long Count Calendar is based on this precept. The Mayas also believed that Time originates out of the Hunab Ku and is controlled by it.

It is very difficult to dismiss the Mayan Cosmology because they left extraordinary evidence that their "Time" keeping methodologies give extremely accurate results. Their pyramids like the one at Chichen-Itza in Mexico are precisely aligned to the the yearly Solstices and the Equinoxes that are caused by the precession of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun. The Pyramid of Kukulcan at Chichen-Itza is essentially a superb and highly accurate Time keeping devise that never fails to mark the yearly "Precession of the Equinoxes".

The ancient Mayan astronomers accurately predicted, over 1500 years ago, the exact alignment of the Earth, the Sun, the star cluster Pleiades and of the center of our Galaxy that will take place at the end of the present long cycle on the Gregorian year 2012. On the Mayan Long Calendar the day designated as 4 Ahau 3 Kankin (13.0.0.0.0) falls on December 21, 2012 and this day will mark "El Fin de los Tiempos" or the end of the long cycle at which time humanity will experience a new beginning. On this day, according to the Mayas and subsequent Meso-American civilizations, the return of Kukulcan (Quetzalcoatl) will take place.

Commentary on Article:

“Hunab Ku” - Mayan glyph representing a "black hole" at center of our galaxy
On December 21, 2012 which coincides with the Winter Solstice and as the Sun sets west of Chichen-Itza, a pattern of shadow and light will project the Plumed Serpent (Quetzalcoatl) descending on the stairs of the pyramid that has a large head of a serpent sculpted in rock at the base. This occurs twice in Chichen Itza every year but on the Winter Solstice of December 21, 2012 something very special will happen. As the Sun sets in the early afternoon, the shadow of the pyramid's northwest edge will project a moving pattern of light that joins and illuminates the sculpted serpent head at the base of the stairway. Within a thirty-four minute period, the serpent, formed by this play of light and shadow will appear to descend to the earth, as the sun leaves each stair, going from the top to the bottom. This combined effect creates the visual appearance of the body of the serpent descending the pyramid. In addition, on December 21, 2012, the tail of the serpent projected up from the top of the pyramid will be pointing precisely to the star cluster Pleiades. The pyramids at Teotihuacán which means "City of the Gods", constructed by a Meso-American civilization just north of Mexico City that preceded the Mayas, are also aligned to the Pleiades as are the Egyptian pyramids at Giza. This is not all, on December 21, 2012 at around 11:11 universal time, there will be a precise alignment of our Sun with the Galactic center (Hunab Ku).

Exactly what will happen on December 21, 2012 still remains a mystery but it seems that we are receiving stronger and stronger clues. The Mayas certainly placed great significance to this date. It is still 7 years away but our World is already experiencing unprecedented, extreme and rapid changes. The number and magnitude of "natural" catastrophes appear to be increasing exponentially. Scientists have detected extreme and erratic behavior in our Sun that in turn is having strong effects on our Earth's atmosphere and measurable effects on the other planets in our solar system as well. Could the strange rumblings detected by Dr. Scott Hyman at the center of our Galaxy be a cause of the weather and other changes we are experiencing here on Earth today? Will these energetic bursts from Hunab Ku increase in number and intensity as we approach the year 2012? The Mayas would answer "Yes". On December 12, 2012 the Mayas said that mankind will enter and begin a new Era of heightened Consciousness. Perhaps, a colossal emission of a yet unknown form of energy will burst out of our Galactic Center on December 21, 2012 that will change the very physics of our World, a new physics that will last until the next cycle.
