I've been looking into the Mayan calendar and realized that these are two different numbering systems. According to the Mayan calendar I was born on 2 Ak'b'al (Night), yet in the Law of Time I was born on 3 Warrior. Both seem to resonate with me, so I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem, and whether it is a problem in the first place. With minimal research I found that the Mayan calendar accounts for the lost days of Leap days by adding 13 days to the end of each 52 years, while in the Law of Time this day is simply skipped. Does anyone have information about this discrepancy, and if so, could you please explain it to me? Thank you in advance.
Paul, 3 Warrior, 2 Ak'b'al

Great question Paul (and great response Paul :) !
Also, the initial reason for the different place in the counts is that they each have a different start date. The Mayan Long count is a straight count of days, that actually does not skip any days for leap days. This is why it is a "long count" - it simply counts every day. On the other hand, the Dreamspell, which began on White Galactic Wizard, July 26, 1987 - is a cyclic count, which in order to maintain synchronization with the solar, lunar and solar-galactic 52-year cycles observes a leap day.
In short each count has a different purpose. The same is true with cycles within the Law of Time! For example, daily kin cycle is different than the Cube position or day of the Moon.
At their height the Maya followed around 17 different calendars - the point being, the more cycles in harmony with the 13:20 frequency that you track, the greater the immersion in the synchronic order of fourth-dimensional time!
The two systems are not in conflict, but people who attach themselves to one system in preference to the other often find themselves in conflict. It may help if you think of the Dreamspell count as a synchronometer and not some sort of version of the Mayan calendar.
Myself, I like the idea of a day out of time, and two days out of time during a leap year.
