Mayan calendar expert, renowned scholar, biologist and author  @carlcalleman Carl Johan Calleman, PhD. beams in to explore the origins of consciousness, the evolution of the universe, and tapping into the cosmos via psychedelics on episode 127 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.

Carl Calleman, born in 1950 in Stockholm, Sweden, is a renowned scholar and scientist. With a background in Physical Biology, he pursued graduate studies in this field under the mentorship of Professor Lars Ehrenberg, a distinguished member of the Nobel committees in Stockholm. Carl's academic journey led to a deep engagement in research, particularly in the areas of chemistry and cancer study.

In 1979, a transformative backpacking trip to Mexico and Guatemala became a catalyst for Carl's spiritual and intellectual pursuits. Inspired by encounters with Mayans and the exploration of ancient pyramid cities, he developed a profound connection to the Mayan calendar. Despite skepticism and the lack of academic support, Carl embarked on a risky venture, departing from his scientific career to delve into the deeper meanings of the Mayan calendar.

Carl’s expertise is not confined to conventional scientific realms; he has become a leading authority on the Mayan calendar, challenging established paradigms. His unique insights, marked by a quantum shift in 1993, propelled him into a new understanding of the Mayan calendar's significance for humanity. This departure from traditional scholarly paths demonstrates Carl's commitment to unraveling the mysteries of ancient wisdom and applying them to the modern world. 

His books include The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness; The Living Universe: The New Theory of Origins: Explaining Consciousness, the Big Bang, Fine-tuning, “Dark Matter”, the Evolution of Life and Human History; and Quantum Science of Psychedelics: The Pineal Gland, Multidimensional Reality, and Mayan Cosmology.

Get ready for an incredible, science-based cosmic ride, as Carl and Faust explore questions like:
-Ever wondered how ancient stuff, like the Mayan calendar, can actually help us make sense of the world today?
-What is the Ninth Wave, and why does it matter?
-Curious about how the cosmos might be messing with our minds, shaping our creativity, and building civilizations?
-Why do we keep seeing ancient symbols, especially snakes, in cultures worldwide? And what do serpents have to do with quantum consciousness?
-Dive into the cosmic trip: What's the deal with psychedelics, like ayahuasca, and their wild connection to our consciousness?
-What's the link between the Mayan calendar and all those pyramids everywhere? Ancient conspiracy or mind-blowing truth?
-Can getting high on plants actually lead to personal transformation? And are psychedelics the secret to fixing ourselves?
-Forget the doomsday talk. What's the real deal with the Mayan calendar, the Tortuguero Monument, and the crazy predictions about the world ending?
-Brace yourselves: How does Carl Calleman flip the script on Darwin’s theory of evolution, and why are cosmic waves a big deal for the origins of life?
-What shocking truth did the human genome project reveal about DNA and what really created life on Earth?
-Could the Big Bang be wrong? What new technology like the James Webb Space Telescope is telling us.
-What is macrocosmic quantum theory, and how can it help us connect?
-What is the cosmic microwave background, and what does it have to do with the ancient idea of the tree of life and our understanding of everything?
-Why are snakes always popping up in those wild psychedelic trips? And what could they possibly mean for our brains?
