22 years ago in 1989, just three weeks after the Berlin Wall came down, Mayan Calendar researcher Richard Eagle taught his first public class on the Mayan calendar in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was born in Minnesota near where the Big River falls, and attended public schools and colleges in Minnesota. His self-published first "Mayan Calendar Guidebook" edition was created for that first Mayan calender class in December 1989. That became a yearly publication, as both a workbook and a combined Mayan and January-December calendar for tracking the days on a daily basis.
In 1991 Willard van de Bogart, a close friend of Mayan Factor author Dr. José Argüelles, visited with "Rich" and expressed that José had mentioned that of all the people José knew of, besides his wife Lloydine, he thought Rich had the best understanding of his Mayan calendar books and research. In 1992 Rich came to Sedona, Arizona to teach one of his classes after experiencing, on his first visit there, a miraculous state of bliss, peace and grace...seemingly created by two unusual gusts of wind "energies" while in prayer at the main energy field vortex spin point on the northwestern corner of the canyon ridge known locally as Rachel's Knoll.
He soon joined a local Sedona jeep tour company as a driver, and later as a canyon guide, escorting many tourists around Sedona's famous energy "vortex" fields and Northern Arizona sites.
In 1993 Rich and José finally met up in Sedona and had a nice chat.

Rich traveled to New Mexico in 1994 and gave his Mayan calendar presentation at the Whole Life Expo.
Another deeply moving spiritual experience and adventure occurred for him in the summer of 1995. Here is his narrative... "One blazing hot summer afternoon day in September 1995 while swimming alone along the wilderness banks of a river in northern Arizona, I just happened to wade up the river quite a long way, exploring these huge river rock sandbars when, after an hour or so, my eye caught a glimpse of a shiny golden tan seven-inch thick sandstone rock with natural quartz crystals that, that...wow!...formed the outline image of a near perfect Hopi 'kokopelli' flute player in the flat rock surface! I was overwelmed with emotion and just stunned by its smooth natural beauty. But it wasn't until I had lifted up the heavy rock icon and began carrying it downstream that it revealed to my heart its true power. This was a very special ceremonial stone...and its holder feels Great Power. And as I waded in crystal clear waters splashing along in sunlight innocence...suddenly a feeling arose of wanting to keep it for myself...but my heart turned heavy with thought...not worthy of it...no!...yes?...then finally understanding that this was a great medicine stone, so soon came the heart-moving revelation of in whose hands it may lay. Later that day it gave itself to one of my best friends, camping buddy, life mentor and most true spiritual brother, James, whose birthday it was that day. Weeks earlier we both had been out exploring canyons and happened upon what looked like a bear cave. We cautiously crawled up inside, and once in, a light shone from above, through a spiral shaped opening in the rock. We noted a small opening in the back of the cave. James lit some paper on fire and crawled into a narrow short tunnel that sloped upward ten feet into another larger cave. Here the antlers and candles spoke of this being a sacred ceremonial cave. From this place, we emerged from the earth, into the world."
In December 1995 Rich had a new version of The Mayan Calendar Guidebook published, complete with color charts and a spiral binder, and near 4,000 copies sold around the world in the first year. Here is a 1996 review...
“This excellent book is a thorough teaching reference that is also easy to understand.
In 1998 Rich was a sales/ad man/copywriter for a Sedona tourist magazine. And one day while dropping off magazines he spotted a stranded Jeep and offered to help jump start it, thereby meeting the driver, a Mrs. Susan Hawkins. She promised to mail Rich her husbands' book as a thank you. A few weeks later the book Power vs Force by Dr. David Hawkins arrived in my mailbox. In 2000 Rich hung up his spurs and became hotel manager of the Wildflower Inn, right across the street from world famous Bell Rock, and then also at the Kokopelli Inn just down the street which is now owned and operated by the Hopi nation, with whom he was invited by and priviledged to be with on "the Mesas" multiple occassions. Please make your reservations through them to visit the Hopi Mesas "Mitakuye oyasin...Blessings to and from Eagle clan and all clans, to David Silver Bear, and all Rainbow Beings of the Sacred Hoop...Peace and Love in All Generations, Divine." By grace Richard has witnessed seven major miracles and over twenty unexplanable "events," which keeps reminding him of just how powerfully miraculous life really is. In February 2011 he became a non-denominational ordained minister, acknowledging in a public way his chosen inner Path of the Sacred Heart.
"As a researcher one wishes to be remain independent. But after 52 years it was time to acknowledge, in a public way, the inner pathway I was shown to be on. My father for years held regular councils with local Minneapolis native American elders. Now, I am "the youngest" of two sons, so it fits. But we are All divine Ministers, serving as Bearers of the Light. Friends have pleaded with me over the years to do stand-up comedy. And, it was time to acknowledge Being on the "E" Team, and so, gave it a go... "We are Eeshoo-ing our first public chuckle:.. A guy walks up to a hotdog vendor and says to him, Hey, old man, make me one with everything! And hands over a 20 dollar bill, which the old man puts away in a drawer. The guy waits, and waits, and finally says, Hey, where's my change? The old man just smiles and says, Change...only come from...Within!" Be of promise to good works, be healing to those in distress, be a good example always and call upon the Holy Spirit to interpret your thoughts and dreams forever...and after Ecstacy, the laundry. The Light has no darkness, only Love by Grace. for Giving.
By grace Richard now shares with love the Ancient Ones Dreamtime, the Calendar of the Americas, a hero journey on the One Holy Path of Eternal Love & Peace, by Inspiration from Within...Seek, and find Thee...True...peace. love perfect peace

This website presents the most recent research of Rich Eagle, including:
+ The 1998 realization that the 12-note musical scale octave, the musical tones, can be exactly correlated to each day of every 13-day week on the Mayan calendar. In 1998 he announced these findings and research in a public presentation, the discovery of the musical codes to time, and is documented in the Sedona Red Rock News.
+ The 2006 realization that the clinically proven 1,000 levels of consciousness could be exactly correlated to the 260-day calendar cycle, resulting in an understanding of both force and Power pulsation cycles and their potentials.
+ Rich's decipherment of how each of the 20 symbols on both the Mayan and Aztec calendars have the same inner meanings even though by comparision a few of the symbols look different and are named different.

Rich's Mini-Photo Tour of Mystical Places > > >
SEDONA, ARIZONA
Rachel's Knoll, the main energy field "vortex" site of the five energy areas around Sedona, Arizona. During my first visit, while sitting there in prayer on the rock ledge overhang, everything suddenly became completely silent in the valley... then two strong Winds came racing up the valley, one shortly after the other, and both seemed to blow right through my heart and body...a complete spiritual cleansing creating a hours-long state of Grace and spiritual ecstasy...Bliss...
~ thanks be to thee most holy spirit of love and perfect peace ~

Looking up at "In Yon Teaopa," the massive natural stone arch on the Mississippi River at Lake Pepin, in Frontenac State Park just 90 minutes south of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The local native Americans hold the rock to be sacred and many medicine bags are present. [Note: It's nearly on the exact same line of longitude as the so-called "Devil's Tower" in Wyoming.]
In the eye of the sacred power arch...In Yon Teaopa.
