2012 Rising

In The Courts Of The Sun – Brian D’Amato (Fictional Story of Maya 2012 Calendar Prophecy)

Can One Man Play the Game to Save the Planet?

Brian D’Amato weaves a cunning thread through doomsday prophecy, catastrophe events, and fringe science. His many years studying the Maya culture and their system of glyphs really pays off.

When it came time to write he has been able to weave fact and fiction in a way that brings the story coloutfully to life within the readers mind.

I do not normally review fictional books on the Maya and 2012 prophecies. Recently though I excepted the offer of a free book to read and agreed to throw something together. Having just had an accident and being firmly fixed in one place for the next few weeks, it had sudden appeal.

This turned out to be no ordinary storybook seeking to cash in on popularity of 2012 in pop culture (my first assumption). Brian d’Amato has spent years researching for this book and by any standard has a very good knowledge of the background environment for the book.

The focal character of the story (both of him) is Joaquin Carlos Xul Mixoc DeLanda, a mixed race Maya Indian from Guatemala. Tragically orphaned by the terrible genocide in that nations recent history he retains the knowledge of a predictive system taught to him by his mother. This system is referred to as the ‘Sacrifice game’. Played with coloured seeds and a board depicting a cross pattern of positions, it helps to focus the mind on possible outcomes of occurrences.

Thanks to his knowledge and ability to play the game Jed DeLanda has become a wealthy businessman from the investment markets. He is not alone in this tactic however as there is also a corporation very interested in the game. They too are using it to assist their own portfolio. In fact as a young man Jed had assisted their chief researcher with his experiments.

Paths cross once again however after a new Maya codex is discovered and reveals details of an ancient prophecy system pointing toward 2012. The significance is not clear at first, but as there is another date alluded to in the more imminent future it is possible to watch the prophecy play out its next prediction. It is a dire outcome and leads to radical changes for America. From this Jed is drawn deeper into the secret work of the company and its aim to predict what is to happen on 21-12-2012 so that it might be prevented. As an expert on the Sacrifice Game, our unlikely hero Carlos is selected to join a secret project, which might just give him the extra knowledge of the game, required to beat the prophecy.

Jed DeLanda is a very well animated character with multiple levels and believable responses. His private thoughts when shared are very human and realistic for the given situations. More than anything else he is funny, amidst a situation that is anything but. For me a story is dead from the outset if it’s characters are wooden. Thank Hunab-Ku that Mr D’Amato spent the time to build up a believable central figure to whom events happen. Even more thanks given to him that he also made Jed an amusing anti-hero personality.

The depictions of Maya culture and the lives of the ancient Maya themselves really bring back to life a nearly eradicated world. I know that the author was determined to paint a view of the real historical civilisation rather than rely on the reader’s ignorance and simply publish fantasy or make believe. Several years went into this project and he even learned to write in Mayan glyphs!

The fringe science in the book is worked with in a fairly clever manner. The main area involved is time travel and this will always be a subject fraught with paradox. Although a clever argument is used to get around these it fails to do so in reality. There is now way to travel in a single timeline without causing butterfly effect results. Still it was one of the cleverer attempts to avoid that problem.

My criticisms of the book will likely be similar to those of others I expect. The story does at times seem to jump around to subjects, interesting, but not really relevant. There is quite a lot of time spent attacking several modern institutions and organisations. I could list those and recommend people involved with them do not read the book. Unfortunately for them I will not as I have no great love for those institutions and groups either. The chief complaint is that the book is to long, in as much as it could have done with dropping the unneccasry jumps and some side alley journeys.

In The Courts of the Sun begins a trilogy set to finish in 2012. At around 650 pages long this means we are likely to end up with something 1800 pages in length. My general rule remains that no story has the right to be longer than Lord Of The Rings, the best story in the whole world ever and told in under 1200 pages. This is not the high calibre work of the master himself, Mr (Lord God) Tolkien, and I hope that the following books are trimmed to bring it all closer to the magic number. In my utter generosity I might through in the 320 pages of The Hobbit thus allowing a maximum of just over 1550 pages. Please not fail me Brian, or the review of the concluding book will likely be harsh!

My final criticism is of course on the subject of Maya 2012 Prophecy. As a scholar of that subject I was disappointed to find that the real subject matter on this did not get mentioned. The dropping of real 2012 data was a missed opportunity considering the lengths gone to for the creating of a realistic Maya landscape. Still this fictional version of the 2012 subject was less fanciful than many versions being claimed as factual by online researchers!

For those who wonder what the author actually believes will happen in 2012 I can only go on the information I received with the book. Brian D’Amato mentions in this that his view is reflected in the story itself. To me this indicates he feels mankind will destroy itself around 2012 through either chemical or biological means. This view is due to the number of chemists and biologists (mostly students) openly stating they think the best thing that could happen to our planet is a deadly plague killing everyone. It is factual that people like this are indeed working in labs with the ability to create just such a doomsday event...

I rate this book as somewhere between a ‘buy’ and a ‘strong buy’, so click here to do just that!

Maya Prophecy, Long Count Calendars & Possible Cosmic Catastrophe for 21-12-2012 – Part 3 [1]

Bruce — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 09:01:05 GMT

Interstellar Particles, Stellar Storms, Solar System Changes and Mutating DNA in the 2012 Era.

There are at least four major lines of information now opening up to us in the 2012 research community. It is only when they are added together and indeed a possible fifth included as well that a very plausible and perhaps scary possibility emerges.

Let us start with the five lines then in very brief and then we will move deeper.

1. Our quiet sun and shifting planetary energy fields solar-system wide.
2. The alignment of ancient structures to Cygnus.
3. Cosmic winds and dust clouds.
4. An ancient calendar indicating the dark rift.
5. Evidence of novel mutations occurring in human beings.

During the last Solar cycle we had one of the most powerful geomagnetic storms possible hit the Earth knocking out some communications. That was October 2003 and just a taste of things to come. In November the most powerful flare ever recorded and an enormous coronal mass ejection occurred. The flare was rated X28 though it was beyond our measuring equipment. In fact cycle 23 exhibited several maximal flares and concerned space weather scientists immensely.

It was for this reason that two very different predictions have been made for cycle 24. Based on how active the previous was many scientists felt the next cycle would be as bad again or far more active. Concerns now mount in the media as to whether super-storms will knock out power grids and satellites. Another group however felt it would become much quieter in the next cycle possibly causing a cooling period on Earth. Possibly we might even see a new mini-ice-age come on fairly suddenly.

Whilst this has been brewing in the aisles of NASA and elsewhere in the astronomical and physics community, other events have been noted. Our solar system has begun to fill with cosmic dust in an ever-increasing flow. The flow of solar wind particles would usually help prevent this happening, however with our extremely quiet sun it is almost absent. Much of it is drawn inward towards the Sun where it gathers and falls inward.

Elsewhere throughout the Solar System some anomalous energy events have been happening. I have covered this before; it is worth reading that article before heading on. It is worth checking for recent updates also as things are progressing out there.

Enter Dr. Paul LaViolette and his investigation of anomalous glass on the moon and cosmic dust found in ice cores from around 15,000 years ago. His work has indicated the likelihood of a synchronous event in which a galactic super-wave of energy particles enters our system from the direction of the galactic centre. Possibly this erupts from the centre itself or is from stars reacting to this energy as it moves outward.

The results are incoming rays at sufficient levels to cause genetic mutation within a lifetime. At the same time the dust would eventually cause significant enough disturbance of our sun and cause an extremely energetic outburst. Hence the glass on the lunar surface created from burnt dust 15,000 years ago. Our sun will be further upset by the influx of cosmic rays, some recently have been amongst the highest frequency recorded from Galactic centre so far.

The Sun will in this scenario eventually have an enormous outburst either in cycle 24 or cycle 25 that will produce incredible geo-magnetic storms for Earth. This is made worse due to the fact Earth’s magnetic field has not only been rapidly decreasing but has been found to now have two large breaches in our natural cosmic shield. Worse still it has been discovered that due to our field being in alignment with our Suns at this time, twenty times more Solar wind could potentially enter anyway!

Stellar events are a real worry for astrophysicists these days. In the last few years we have detected high-energy emissions capable of sterilising planets. Even more worrying is that a number of such events have hit our atmosphere causing events on the planet and in its atmosphere, mostly weak but still causing effects.

December 2004 was the exception in a very high energy Gamma Ray blast was detected just 44.6 hours after a 9.2 earthquake hit Indonesia. We all know what happened next. Scientists have struggled with the proximity of the two events and pondered the possibility of a longitudinal gravity wave pulse being involved.

Interesting too is the recent findings from a Russian team studying 11 year solar cycle geomagnetic activity and tropical cyclogenesis. A correlation was concluded between the two systems indicating a direct effect of the sun on cyclone activity.

If all this were not enough however there is still more to come. It seems the ancients have left us a coded message about stellar events of the past. Actually most fringe researchers will know about the ancients habit of aligning there major structures with certain star systems over the ages.

One such archaeo-astronomical alignment found in preponderance is that between sites and the system we call Cygnus, the swan. There are a huge number of sites that have this correlation and a number of myths and legends that relate to its importance with our forbears. Some 13,500 years ago it was actually the Pole Star but precession changed that over time. There is an interesting Pyramid object in Italy that correlates with this as well as links to New Grange in Ireland (amongst many sites).

Cygnus contains a very unique binary star system in terms of our current understanding of the Universe. Cygnus X-3 is sometimes referred to as a neutron star or even a quark star, but nobody is quite sure what it is. What they do know is it is about the third most luminous star in our galaxy and the only known emitter of what seems to be 5th dimensional particles currently named ‘Cygnets’. These have the impossible feature of reaching earth at light speed and penetrating deep into underground caverns. We have no explanation that can be considered fully comprehensible other than higher dimensional energy effects!

Andrew Collins was a history and science writer that stumbled upon this when working a project on emergence of primitive cultures cosmologies. He kept on finding the Swan and Cygnus coming up, even in Lascoux caves there is a 17,000 year old painting of the constellation. He further discovered from scientists there was evidence of a high energy cosmic events around 35,000 years ago, largely discovered through high levels of Beryllium in Ice cores.

This coincided with a period or mutation and die off in flora and fauna, indeed possibly to the disappearance of Neanderthal man. Cygnus X-3 is a very powerful blazer. This binary star has one of its two erupting energy beams pointed squares at us from its location hidden behind the Dark Rift. Just lately it has shown burst of high-energy emissions several times.

It would seem that the last time this star erupted significantly coincided with the leap into deeper consciousness and shamanic awareness as well as with biological mutations in life forms. The creation of anthropomorphic carvings and rock drawings emerged just after this time. Were the strange particles the main causes, certainly this similar to the eminent Carl Sagan’s own theory before his death?

Interestingly the Maya calendar indicates the dark rift in the Milky Way as important, as do the Maya themselves in their cosmology. As stated Cygnus X-3 lays behind the dark rift though itself would only be possibly visible if it was very active. Then it would likely appear as a bright object for maybe as long as several centuries. Alternatively Shaman became aware of the light flashes behind their eyes from the cosmic particle passing through and began to calculate when they occurred, and thus from which part of the sky.

The Maya were certainly fascinated with something connected to the dark rift, though other candidates than Cygnus X-3 may have been known to lurk beyond the cosmic dust waiting to erupt. Is this the creation cycle the Maya Long Count calendar tracks?

The ending of the count on 21-12-2012 occurs as the winter solstice sun touches the start of the rift. It will then head through for the following two decades. It seems likely that the Maya were most concerned with this part of the Earth’s precession cycle. This would be the peak of whatever was happening in the period. One degree of precession surrounding 2012 gives us just over 71 years in which events to play out with 2012 approximately central.

Some will say that procession should not play much of a factor in whatever is happening being unlike the physical phenomena explained above. This is because the classic theory states that precession is due to the pull of the moon on the Earth creating a wobble. As such we are not really moving relative to the stars as it would seem by the precession of the solstice points. Modern findings do not seem to support this however as the speed of precession has been recorded as changing rapidly over the years. This really only makes sense if precession is in fact caused by our Sol having a binary twin about which it orbits in a cosmic dance.

This binary relationship would explain the problem that Sidereal years are too long compared to the solar year used in our calendar which remains constant. This also explains why our supposedly terribly wobbly earth does not end up with regional climate shifts during the precession cycle, as its angle of alignment wit the sun would change significantly.

If we are in a binary system, which most known star systems happen to be, then the stars shift in the sky because we are genuinely being moved away from our alignments to them. The combination of this movement and the energetic interaction between two stars are both important to consider that in the over all picture being painted for us. There may be a very good reason why a certain part of the precession cycle is highly risky for our planet.

Are we being dragged into the cosmic cross hairs of a galactic super gun, whilst other dramatic stellar events build up closer to him?

Finally there is the fifth factor that has come to light. Research is being done into evidence of an unknown mutation in humans. Particularly this is being found in children and young adults. Information is not readily available but a new book by Lee Carroll and colleagues expounds this very subject. A lady named Nancy Tappe began seeing an Indigo coloured energy pattern around some young people in the early 1980s. This lead to the Indigo child movement as it is today.

Unfortunately what was not so well known is that Nancy has the unusual condition Synesthesia in which the senses become confused or cross wired. Nancy has no ability to see auras in the common sense. Something about the physiology of certain people was seen as an indigo colour field. Before the early 80s she had not observed this colour on anyone. Further experiments suggested a mutation was occurring in the brain activity and bio-energy systems of young people involved. Unlike the Indigo hype there was no suggestion that these were children with special psychic abilities however. It seems she was observing changes occurring at the level of the Zero Point field where it merges into physical forms.

My initial conclusion then has to be that we are approaching an event that seems to be made up of a number of contributory cosmic factors. Though synchronising of these factors currently continues it may transpire that cosmic rays have been causing rapid mutation in unborn foetus for the last two decades. The progression and spread of change is only set to increase dramatically as we approach an unknown zero hour just a few years ahead. In fact we may have two or three zero hours ahead as the different forces ramp up against us, or indeed for us, depending on your views.

As many of us have stated the Maya calendar is then likely linked to a cycle of human evolution and change in mental functioning. Whatever the changes that happen every 13 Baktuns may be (and as stated in part 2 consciousness shifts were indicated at other points) it seems that the real show is at the end of five Baktuns or one cycle of binary precession lasting by their calculation 25,627 years.

Perhaps the last time this came around was not just during the ice age but maybe was the cause of much of the change and devastation of that time.

So what do we do when such enormous events seem to be rumbling around us well outside of the ability of science to prevent?

We will next explore the subject of how to prepare for the years ahead, assuming even only half this mega stuff is happening.

Maya Prophecy, Long Count Calendars & Possible Cosmic Catastrophe for 21-12-2012 – Part 2 [2]

Maya Calendar Cycles and Cyclic Disaster Predictions for Year 2012

It is clear from the previous section that no Maya prophecy links a doomsday or period of catastrophic disasters with the Maya calendar. In fact I would say no evidence exists in the world that convinces me of a doomsday at any fixed date in the future, but that is just me.

The next investigation is whether large-scale global cataclysms occur on a cyclical timetable mapped out by the Maya Long Count calendar system. The only way to progress this is by checking calendar cycles against real historical evidence of major events. Though this will not necessarily provide conclusive proof of a link it would be highly suggestive, and at the least very interesting.

The Maya Long Count calendar can be broken down into numerous cycles. Being named the 13 Baktun calendar it is reasonable to suggest the smallest unit in which to expect a notable change would be a single Baktun, just under 400 years. Personally I am sceptical that major change events happen in such short periods on a global scale. I will then forgo that examination leaving it perhaps to others less dismissive.

Let us then work on the more plausible theory in which global disasters recur every complete 13 Baktun cycle. This is a span of 5126 years. It is fair to note that once we go back further than a couple of these cycle’s events become rather hazy. We shall however do our best to go back through the last five such periods remembering that we are now approaching the Maya 5th sun.

Just to make things clear, the following are my parameters for this investigation:

Taking each Long Count end-date I will look at events within the 36 years either side. This 72-year window is equivalent to one degree of precession of the zodiac constellations. It is also one reasonable human lifetime, though not the average span. Within that period I will be looking for significant environmental upheavals or sudden negative or adaptive changes in the human cultures of the time. These changes in humanity may suggest unknown catalytic environmental events. Clearly mega quakes, super-volcanoes, pole-shifts, crust-slips, comet impacts, massive tsunamis or global pandemics are what we are really hoping to find however (maybe even alien invasions or nuclear apocalypse).

Below we have our target dates:

First Great Cycle 23.614 B.C. - 18.489 B.C.
Second Great Cycle 18.489 B.C. - 13.364 B.C.
Third Great Cycle 13.364 B.C. - 8.239 B.C.
Fourth Great Cycle 8.239 B.C. - 3.114 B.C.
Fifth Great Cycle 3.114 B.C. - 2.012 A.D.

1. In the year 23,614BC the world was in the worst ravages of the ice age according to modern calculations. If any moderately advanced civilisation had existed around this time it was likely utterly eradicated. We do know that modern man (beings exactly like us) existed for at least the last 200,000 years. We can be sure that a community of humans should not require 200,000 years to achieve an advanced culture. Our current global civilisation took much less than 10,000 years to rise from its hunter gatherer ways to space flight. Whatever may be the truth regarding this period, it is impossible to expect clear evidence for a sudden cataclysmic event within our 75 year window. If there was a sudden disaster event it has been eradicated from pre-history amidst the rolling destruction of the expanding ice. Nobody alive at the time needed a calendar to tell them things were getting bad.

2. The close of the first cycle coincides fairly neatly with the start of a period labelled the Mesolithic. This point in time is considered to mark a change in the climate of the planet. Generally it is excepted that ice went into rapid retreat and humanity flourished. The Magdalenian culture spread out leaving its mark in the form of complex cave art. The Kebara culture leaves a record of advances in stone technologies. These coincide with a period in which whole regions were dramatically changed by new climatic conditions, and entire new landscapes formed by retreating ice, likely causing humanity to require adaptation. No sudden events are notable just several centuries of interesting change.

3. The close of the second cycle falls within a rather broad period in which we record the end of the last ice age. There is no doubt that this period was beset by some catastrophic flood events as huge lakes filled with melted glaciers broke containment and emptied across the lands. The America’s and Europe saw massive destruction events due to this process. It is however a process that occurs during vague window of time around two millennia in length. The only other notable events are that man domesticates dogs and within a few hundred years begins dog burials. Any sudden flood events were seemingly regional and spaced out over a long time.

4. The close of the third cycle occurs in the middle of a millennium of amazing progression for mankind. Farming involving both crops and animals becomes widely established. New human settlements appear in previously uninhabited countries. Climate changes occur due to the Gulf Stream swinging to the south. Warming oceans expand and swallow large areas of land, alongside further extensive flooding from melting glaciers. There are also a number of volcanic eruptions during this period. Once again the changes are over hundreds of years and the climatic disasters are regional and stepped over centuries.

5. The close of the fourth cycle coincides with the start of our current long count period in 3114BC and is thus the one we have the most historical evidence available for. There is in fact a mass of very interesting data for our 72 year window, however little of it relates to disasters. Quite the contrary in fact as the largest amount of evidence relates to leaps forward for human civilisation around the planet. Once again we are presented only with a vague period for climate changes sometime around 5200 years ago. It would seem that a sudden cold and dry period fell upon large regions of the globe, certainly affecting the area from Central Africa to Central Asia. Over the course of perhaps a century or two the Sahara desert was born from fertile lands. There are theories that either a great flood or meteor storm occurred at this time. Unfortunately they remain just that. Even if true no specific date is given for either possibility that can be substantiated by solid evidence or trustworthy eyewitness testimony (accurately dated). Even looking this recently we find no singular dated global catastrophe. Even the sudden climate change is only so in the sense of geological time.

As we have yet to close the fifth cycle our journey must stop there. I will happily admit that I am not an expert historian, geologist or archaeologist. Nor is it likely that we have exhausted all possible sources of data. For the moment though I am satisfied enough to reach a personal conclusion, pending new data.

I personally can’t find any convincing evidence for fixed certain and specific catastrophic events that occurred within the lifetime of a human living during previous cycle end dates. If there were such events then we simply have no solid evidence of them. To fit with the sudden disaster theory would require me to broaden my window of time to hundreds, if not thousands, of years wide (forget 72!). Frankly I can’t correlate the excitement of the current 2012 subject to an event that would only be observable should one live for at least 500 years. Besides which, the changes we are seeing in modern times are far more rapid than those mentioned above.

During my investigation it was abundantly clear to me that there were sudden events and indeed exciting things happening in the past. The problems is they were way outside of my time window and thus only strengthen the case against the Maya long count being useful for tracking major cyclical physical upheavals. A culture reliant on the long count for such affairs would have been blind-sided countless times over the last 26,000 years whilst preparing rigorously for several non-events.

If there is a major cataclysmic event during our current 72-year window it is seemingly the exception rather than the rule. There is far more evidence for humanity being in stages of rapid progression during long count endings than there is of us being obliterated. I think people need to abandon the idea of a Maya long count catastrophe calendar completely. The only source of this theory from within Maya culture is seemingly the Popul Vuh myths. These ancient stories depict the creation and destruction of differing forms of humans by the creator Gods. However these stories are not dated and there seems to be no concrete evidence that the Maya ever linked them to their 13-Baktun calendar cycles. Even more problematic is the fact that tales of these world ages and their destruction’s vary wildly throughout the different Mesoamerican cultures!

I think it is time people asked themselves just what kind of singular natural event occurs on a rigid 5126 year cycle?
In what manner can something destroy entire civilisations world-wide without leaving clear evidence?
If something apocalyptic occurs why is it that cultures existing during these times seem to have carried on regardless or actually made rapid progression throughout?

It seems to me that whatever is happening now as we approach 2012 and beyond it is related to something far grander than a mere 5126-year cycle. The rapid changes we are recording are perhaps unprecedented in all of the last 26,000 years or more. If not so then it certainly seems it will be the first time in known history that rapid climate change, cosmic shifts, cultural degradation, resource depletion, spiritual emergence and overt militaristic aggression have all coincided with the cycle tracked by the Maya long count system. Seemingly a time cycle that has far more to do with evolving consciousness than anything else, judging by the information I have found in my years of studies at least.

This all begs some new questions of course.

Accepting then that there is precious little evidence for either a Maya doomsday prophecy or a 5126-year destruction cycle, but that we really are in the middle of some kind of major cosmic event, what the heck is it?
What kind of genuinely possible occurrence can potentially radically alter both our physical and non-physical realities?
What does the ancient calendar system really track and how long is the important cycle?

Are you ready to find out?

Maya Prophecy, Long Count Calendars & Possible Cosmic Catastrophe for 21-12-2012 – Part 1 [6]

Bruce — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 21:36:31 GMT

Does the Maya Cosmological System Really Predict a Doomsday Prophecy of Events Caused by Either Our Sun or Galactic Centre on 21st December 2012?

The Maya calendar has already become a subject of infamy around the entire world. With Sony’s recent viral marketing campaign for their disaster film named 2012, millions more citizens will encounter this negative version of the topic.

The greatest amount of on-line 2012 material whether for the film or from independent sources, alludes to an apocalyptic doomsday. This is supposedly predicted for us by the Maya 13 Bak’tun Long Count calendar ending on 21-12-2012.

I have been studying subjects relating to the 2012 predictions for many years. Not just the Maya, but also Egyptians and Native Americans speak of this coming time of massive change. During the last decade I have had to modify both my understanding and expectations regarding the target year several times. Information has slowly been revealed which gave researchers a better understanding of the wisdom from the ancients.

Modern Maya elders still follow the philosophy behind the ancient calendars in the form of the Tzolkin and Haab, though the Long Count itself had fallen from use. With their help and indeed through the surviving prophecy record, we have been able to begin interpreting the cultural significance of the Long Count calendar end-date.

Do the Maya elders predict doomsday?

The modern Maya peoples have an elected council of elders currently headed by Don Alejandro. In recent interviews he has been very clear in stating that the Maya do not believe there is a doomsday tied to the end of the 13 Bak'tun cycle. In fact Maya elders have only ever ventured as far as suggesting that times of change at the end of such eras may include serious natural upheavals, much as we see our climate changing now. No Maya elder is stating a complete global devastation ahead. I find that most of their talks carry a very positive air to them, they explain the benefits of the changes they see post 2012.

Is a doomsday within the written prophecies?

Tortuguero Monument 6, recording the 2012 Bak'tun ending:
Bolon Yookte [This creator God is referenced on the glyph]
"The Thirteenth 'Bak'tun" will be finished
(on) Four Ajaw, the Third of Uniiw (K'ank'in).
? will occur.
(It will be) the descent(??) of the Nine Support? God(s) to the ?."

Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel, XXII:
Katun 4 Ahau . . . . The katun is established at Chichen Itzá. The settlement of the Itzá shall take place [there]. The quetzal shall come, the green bird shall come. Ah Kantenal shall come. Blood-vomit shall come. Kukulcan shall come with them for the second time. [It is] the word of God. (Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel, XXII)

If you see a definitive doomsday in those passages your eyes are keener than my own. Many people may in fact be surprised by how little Maya material actually refers directly to 2012. From the amount of hype you would be right to expect a couple of pages of clear text, especially if the end of the world was being predicted. The only thing to bear in mind perhaps is that much was lost when the Spanish invaded, and that the Maya used prophecies from other eras over again by reinterpreting them whilst in trance. So we can posit they would have likely had more than this to tell us. What we can’t say is that anything like a 2012 Doomsday exists in the texts we have available today.

What the astute reader will notice about the end of the cycle writings is an emphasis in importance on returning Gods. Notably a creator God is included indicative of some rebirth before the new Long Count. The significance of the nine God’s should also be noted, as this is cross-cultural mythology. Pantheons of nine Gods are found in ancient Egypt and Norse scripts as well as elsewhere in history. They can often be seen as archetypal energies, which govern both our reality and our own inner nature.

The nine principles are particularly well introduced in the highly esoteric mystical texts of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth. These may prove fairly unintelligible for the lay reader devoid of mystical initiations and understanding. Even so they are well worth attempting.

Emerald Tablet XII:
Forth were WE formed after our order:
THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT--NINE.
Know ye that these are the numbers of cycles
that WE descend from unto man.
Each having here a duty to fulfill;
each having here a force to control.

It is also interesting to note recent claimed findings in Torus related maths and physics from maverick researcher Marko Rodin. He attempts to show us the universal importance inherent in the number nine regarding primal creation forces and flows of force. Marko Rodin: "The number nine is Energy being manifested in a single moment event of occurrence in our physical world of creation.”

The cult of the 9 Maya gods has mostly faded away, although supposedly their new rule initiated in 1998 at the end of the Maya period known as 13 hells. What the return of these nine heralds for all of us may not be at first clear. For the serious scholar of the mystical traditions I suggest studying the links provided in this article in entirety.

At this point I can’t see any clear evidence for a doomsday linked to the Maya prophecies or the current elders. The only other place then is on the calendar stone itself. Unfortunately there is no surviving Maya calendar stone only the Aztec sun stone remains. There is then no way to definitively link a doomsday in with the evidence we have available unless it is found by matching the calendar cycle periodicity to a cycle of disaster events in the past. These would have to be events that would clearly recur at regular intervals.

That then is where we must look next in part 2.

New World Order Climate Change Conspiracy – Mini Ice Age Post 2012? [5]

Bruce — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:12:52 GMT

Co2 Seemingly Does Not Lead to Rapid Climate Shifts

You might quickly conclude that this is a one sided piece. You would be correct. Quite frankly if you do not already know the other side of the debate and it’s claims, you must live in a Himalayan cave and can’t be reading this!

We have lived in a time when so much rubbish has been revealed within that which passed as our education it seems almost no longer surprising to have been lied to. In various aspects we have been manipulated into going to war with ourselves on various levels and making big corporations cash in the process. Whether it is harmful industrial waste products such as Fluoride pumped into our water and being sold to us as a health product, or being asked to finance a war on our emotional state known as terror. Our food that was perfectly fine and healthy is now spliced with animal genetic material and infused with added chemical compounds.

So now we find a global government campaign, supported often by militant activists, to prevent Co2 increase. Co2 by the way is a core component of humans, as well as it of all biological material on our planet. It is considered as generally helpful or at least harmless by the majority of consulted scientists. Bear in mind that it transpired a very large number of the scientist listed by the IPCC as supporting man made climate change were never directly asked. Those who found their names on the list had to fight to remove them!

We are in the odd position of having declared war on fresh water, core material for our bodies, our mental states, and indeed the very food we eat. What the heck is going on folks?

Whilst the Co2 debate was relatively easy to defend during the 80s and 90s the situation changed after the millennium. It became clear in the first few years of 00s that the heating trend was levelling off. In fact when looking at the latest satellite data it is clear we are now seeing cooling. Recently very rapid cooling has been the trend.

It is woth looking at this pie-chart of how little Co2 we actually contribute.

For someone in my field of fringe subject investigation I tend to be monitoring things many other non-scientists ignore. I am always checking for global reports on weather events, geological upheavals and environmental anomalies. I also am always keenly monitoring solar activity.

It is amazing to see that whilst solar cycle 23 was heading into decline but still fairly active we had the very powerful storm season of 2005 (blamed on man made climate change) amidst rather hot air temperatures in the Gulf. Yet as cycle 23 truly wound down so did the heat.

In fact the sun itself seems to have revealed the fraud of man made climate change. Whilst the IPCC was counting on ever increasing solar activity (especially considering several very active cycles of late) to mask the fraud, the one thing they did not count on was the Sun suddenly going silent!

For those of you not aware the Sun is now two years overdue reaching minimum and is spotless. It is the quietest it has been for at least 100 years. Guess what happened from Jan 2007 to Jan 2008?
Only the single largest temperature drops year to year in the history of our recordings, so in at least 128 years. I thought Co2 went up again that year and that the IPCC model clearly said that every year we would see exponential heat increase matching the Co2 rise.

So why in early 2008 did the World Meteorological Organisation’s secretary-general, Michel Jarraud, tell the BBC average global temperatures have not risen since 1998?
He was of course quick to add that other experts have forecast a record high temperature within five years, and that 2008 would end up as a hot year. Actually 2008 saw temperatures globally at coolest since 2000, as well as Arctic Sea ice returning to the previous years levels!

An ever growing number of scientists now condemn the models used to support man-made climate change as no better than using old fashioned astrology to predict weather change. Worryingly many likely contributory factors were left out of the original models, arguably due to confusion over the variables, but often due to that fact grants went to people that supported the status quo. The multibillion-dollar Eco-industry that has ballooned from the IPCC conclusions is in no hurry for ‘good news’.

Of course the far leftwing Anti-Globalists also need the IPCC conclusion to remain fixed, it provides the best ammo they have at that moment. Both groups insist that poor Africans use incredibly expensive solar panels rather than burn their fossil fuels. This is tantamount to mass murder. We all know the Africans can’t afford solar panels or wind generators, they are not even affordable in most Western nations.

I am not out to convince anyone by sharing my observations and opinions, indeed I should say by reporting on the findings of other sceptics. I am not a climate science and therefore people must do their own research of the data. I must say though that my BS detector has gotten pretty good over the years. Even more so my sense of smell when it comes to weeding out Illuminati rat-think.

My main problem is that when I contrast my understanding of the world during 21 years of government education against it currently, I see that I was a mushroom all that time. My government deliberately kept me in the dark and fed me with shit. Virtually every major aspect of my world understanding transpired to be woefully out of touch with known modern scientific findings. Even holy cows such as the last ice age have been revealed as more complex and hazier than taught. The infamous missing data on the sudden melt is just the start. Ice process comprehension is especially interesting in light of the geologically anomalous Antarctic mountain range recently discovered.

Though I was suckered for several years by man-made climate change I was lucky in that my roving eye was monitoring the solar system. Climate change has been occurring on all of the planets in the solar system for several years now and is perhaps the clearest indicator that we never understood what was happening.

The real worry now should be that whilst mankind keeps on buying into what seems now a New World Order designed plan to halt progress, we risk being blind sided by a sudden catastrophic mini ice-age.

If the sun keeps quiet, Co2 keeps rising and the temperatures keep on dropping, judge the tree by its fruit.

For the moment the jury is out on all positions. There is certainly currently no more reason to beleive Co2 drives climate change than other factors.

Between 2 Worlds - By Dr. Jose Jaramillo Maya Calendar Expert

Bruce — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 19:23:42 GMT

Dr. Jose Jaramillo's Exploration of Maya Calendars vs Gregorian Conceptual Time

There have been some excellent 2012 films produced recently. Regular readers will be aware that I have reviewed several of these here on site. There have also been some attempts to give voice to the Maya elders and the culture behind the calendar.

In this latest review I am looking Between2Worlds which is somewhere between the two. In fact it is really more about our inherent bias toward the Gregorian calendar system and our taking it for granted as just how things are/must be.

The film is interesting for all those who question our concept of time, but really even more so for those who want to live by the true Maya Tzolkin count in their own lives.

Lloydine Arguelles usually represents her husbands rather confusing calendar system in documentaries, however in this case she talks about general change rather than her system.

John Major Jenkins then gives an explanation of the Maya system and the funtioning of the calendars inter-locking time cycles.

Carl Calleman introduces the higher psycho-spiritual conceptual effects of live inside or outside of true time.

The more nature spirit inclined Aumrak, provides a shamanistic overview emphasising the need to find harmony at this time in history.

Between them and the other speakers the film is very well balanced and adds insight to the research of temporal cycles and Maya thought.

Experts examine the issues related to human consciousness. The aim of the film seems to be an attempt to cause mankind to question his thoughtless acceptance of the Gregorian system for global commerce and spiritual concerns. This is a genuinely interesting point as we all live by this Christian calendar system whether we have any interest in its core uses (tracking church festivals and matters of money).

This is a different type of film to 2012 Science or Superstition and Timewave 2013 adding a completely new dimension of thought to the study. Between 2 Worlds just focussed a lot more on the subject of time rather than giving a broad overview of the 2012 subject. This is an interesting documentary whether for cutting edge though on calendars or indeed on conciousness.

As long as you know not to expect huge focus on 2012 this is a very enjoyable docu-film and well worth adding to your 2012/Maya/conciousness DVD shelf.

I know that the producer, Jose Jaramillo, is making a second production currently. I for one am looking forward to this very much as I am sure the areas not covered in his first film will be covered in the second.

The Maya Day Sign Glyphs explored in the Mayan Oracle

Bruce — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 14:00:07 GMT

The Mayan Oracle - A Method Of Tzolkin Exploration Toward 2012

Ariel Spilsbury has been a mystic and consciousness explorer for decades. These days she is championing work on the divine feminine as well as certain New Age concepts (not that divine feminine is a new concept).

In my search for a deeper understanding of the Maya day signs of the Tzolkin 260 day count I found the internet somewhat lacking. There are a few sites that list the 20 glyphs and 13 tones with brief descriptions. Unfortunately these brief summaries left me little the wiser and certainly not feeling a part of the deeper message from the Maya calendar progression.

Through a strange little synchronicity I discovered a source that seems to provide for those of us wanting to form a deeper relationship with the symbols from the ancient Maya culture. I had unconsciously put four dumbbell weights on the floor in a vague square formation. I noticed the pattern they made and realised it was oddly familiar, it formed a Maya glyph from the Tzolkin, which I had just begun to follow daily. The glyph was ‘Lamat’ or Star.

Well never one to ignore cosmic pokes in the eye, I Googled that particular sign. The result was that I stumbled on Ariel’s site, which offered one example description from her Maya Oracle system, of course it was Lamat. Had I Googled any other symbol I would have missed her completely.

I contacted Ariel and enquired about receiving an oracle set from her to experiment with. She was very kind and agreed to do so. In fact the set arrived one day off from my own Tzolkin birthday of 9-Ik (Wind) so it made for a nice cosmic birthday gift. The package included the Mayan Oracle book and beautiful 44 card set along with some meditative music on a CD.

The cards provide a great visual reference for those unfamiliar with the Maya signs. This is an awesome way to get in touch with each of them in turn. Alongside the manual itself they form a intuitive research tool. In much the same way that Tarot cards can be used to read aspects of our inner self or events effecting us so do these artistic and colourful cards depicting the Tzolkin glyphs.

What is more of not perhaps is that the book gives on average nine pages of text for each card. The text is broken into bite size sections. The three sub-sections are The Magical Child, The Discoverer and The Journeyer. Each part represents a different level of the signs meaning and sometimes a reader may be drawn to one rather than another or feel compelled to read all three for the full depth.

My suggestion to anyone looking to get a relationship going with the 260 day count would be to purchase this set and literally read the book right through looking at the relevant card symbols as one does. My advice would be to meditate on each symbol after reading its text to get from it your personal feelings. If this is done then we would definitely be left with a greater depth of connection to the marvellous system borrowed from our Maya friends.

It is also fair to say that for those not looking to follow the Tzolkin or indeed with little interest in Maya calendars the Mayan Oracle is a stunning and straightforward addition to world of intuitive card reading sets.

Most important of all, enjoy the journey!

2012 Practices for Being Prepared - Meditation Basics [1]

Bruce — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 04:50:44 GMT

The Examination of practices for Being 2012 prepared - Meditation

Do you already feel convinced by the evidence that something is happening as we approach the Maya Calendar date of 21-12-2012?

Do you perhaps desire to move deeper into the hidden mystical and alchemical aspects of the 2012 topics?

Do you perhaps desire to participate more fully in any upgrade of our race and civilisation?

For those of us already largely convinced by evidence or willing to play a hunch, deeper engagement with any change process is the natural next step in our 2012 journey.

There has generally been a huge lack of education on subjects such as Eastern Spirituality, metaphysical philosophy and ancient wisdom in our schools or colleges. Hearing about some great spiritual change happening around us does not mean we have all of the required tools ready!

To be a functioning part of the expected events some of us have to go to spiritual boot camp first. That has certainly been the experience of many, including myself.

Probably the key understandings to grow within us is just what is it that can change, what it is that suffers from change, and how we find that which suffers within ourselves and convert it into something more refined and stable. Whether the process is set in the year 2012 or right here and now matters little. For me then the first more esoteric 2012 subject has to be exploration of the mind through meditation.

When I talk about suffering I do so in the Buddhist sense rather than the need for suffering in any conjured great disaster ahead. For many of us sufferings come easy enough, we do not need to have some imagined future catastrophe to feel it. For many of us suffering can be attached to our career, home life or some mental tortures brought about by perceived lacks. Any changes on the horizon can also cause the mind to suffer.

In some eastern philosophy we find the portrayal of the mind as being something like a glass of muddy water. The more we sway it about the murkier it gets as the dirt swills around. When we place the glass on a table and wait patiently, the mud settles down and the water is clear again.

The mind is at first like the dirty water whilst meditation is the action of putting it on the table and waiting patiently to settle.

Another analogy is that of six wild animals tied together by ropes. At any one time the strongest animal pulls all the rest in the direction it wishes to go. Here the wild animals are the human senses and meditation is the action of hammering a stake into the knot at the centre of the six ropes.

There are numerous forms of meditation and the close relatives such as visualisation and mantra recitation. There is no room here to detail all of them and in fact to do much more than deal with one or two would do more harm than good as it would likely add confusion. Meditation is best learned with a teacher present so for a wider selection it is suggested one seek out a reputable instructor near to your home location.

If 2012 is a time of some kind of consciousness shift then exploration of consciousness is the first logical step. We need to come to a personal understanding of what is meant by that word. Read any dictionary scientific explanation of that words meaning and it becomes quickly clear NOBODY is able to give you an authoritative answer. They can point in its general direction but will leave you to find out for yourself. That remains the only way to make any reasonably satisfactory conclusions on its nature.

We know that it is a matter of scientific understanding that both thoughts and the mind itself are completely non-physical. There is nothing to place under a conventional microscope all we can detect is electrical field activity within the brain. In fact we also know from scientific investigations of atomic matter that we are made up of over 99.9% empty space rather than anything physical. The conventional sciences we all likely learned previously, deal with only the other 0.1% of our reality, selves and environment.

If there was ever a recipe for humanity getting blind-sided by some massive change in the near future then surely that is it right there!

Most of what we think of as ‘us’ actually falls under the realms of quantum physics and physics laws governing the vacuum domains where we find phenomena like ball lightning and atmospheric sprites. In those strange worlds particles can teleport, interact beyond light speed, or pop into existence from nowhere. Very peculiar laws govern our minds and inner selves, which suggest the possibility of great abilities encoded within us down at the most basic levels.

To directly experience this level we have to turn away from our usual mental chatter. We have to learn knowledge first but then we have to take pauses to integrate any new discoveries. Just knowing about something amazing is not necessarily the same as integrating it into our daily reality. To do this we meditate with the right intention of allowing our positive discoveries and lessons to change us more permanently.

To touch that quiet part of ourselves ancient masters advise us to take certain basic steps. They are all within the capability of any lucid adult and older children. First we recognise that there is possibly a part of ourselves we have been unaware of, or perhaps just unsure of how to reach. Then we are advised to take aside some set quiet time to conduct our own scientific investigation of the phenomena in question. Every one of us has a human mind to examine right at hand!

The most straightforward method of meditation I know of is commonly known as breathing meditation. The Buddhists refer to it as ‘Vipassana’ which translates roughly as ‘insight meditation’. Presented here is that form of meditation, as I understand it from certain Buddhist monks currently teaching it.

Lacking a real human to sit with and learn from this may at least offer a basic start for any of us with very little or even no previous meditation practical experience. To summarise the teaching in brief we can state the following suggestions.

First we find a space that we can use free from disturbances and clutter and ensure we can be undisturbed for at least 20 minutes, ideally. Optimum is to clear a place that we feel is liberating or spiritual. It may be as simple as hanging a certain picture there or placing some items from nature around. Burning incense is a very common pleasant choice.

Sitting comfortably with a straight spine is important. Whether to sit cross-legged on the floor or up on a chair can be a matter for each meditator to resolve. Sit in a way that will not soon cause agony, as you will render the task impossible otherwise.

Breathing should be natural but relaxed and if it feels natural then perhaps somewhat slower than usual. Do not spend time forcing special breathing and become distracted on that aspect of the process.

Allow each muscle group in the body to slowly relax by conscious decision one area at a time until you are as free from body tensions as possible. Check for any obvious discomfort and deal with it gently.

Close the eyes almost fully with them looking very slightly downward and ahead. If you like a meditation object can be place at the point where you eyes will be rested. It is not however essential to have any special objects.

Still breathing normally in a relaxed manner it is suggested that we begin to search with our mind for the spot at which we feel the air moving in or out of our nostrils. We identify the area of skin that actually feels the air passing over it wither at the lip or within the nose. Go into that feeling.

As we breathe we focus all of our attention through direct sensory experience attached to that one simple sensation. It may take a little time to find but each of us will be able to find it with patience.

It may amaze some of us at times how quickly the mind wander away from this simple task. Suddenly we are thinking about the cooking or some fantasy rather than watching the breath. Alternatively we may be noticing some itch or ache that suddenly is bothering us. Either way we have slipped of task and gently bring ourselves back.

It is not a failure just a sign for how restless our minds can be in normal mode. Remember that it takes time for the mud to settle in the glass. Gently become aware of whatever you find yourself diverted by and allow it to just be without any judgement or analysis. Take the mind back to the sensation of the breath.

If this process is followed on a daily basis it does become easier and we begin to experience moments where the mind quiets and we notice that we are not worried or in any way feeling some need for an external event to occur.

Meditation in this form allows us to encounter the quiet part of ourselves that exists in the more refined levels of our being. The experience of not worrying becomes more of a part of us as we contact the inner part of us that seems to emanate calm. There is a feeling that at some level there is sensible evidence for not being worried about anything mundane around us.

After one feels that continuing would take to much forcing, but preferably after a sensible period, we can gently bring the mind back to awareness of the body and on to awareness of the room again then terminate that session of practice. If it feels right to do so then give thanks to any energy system you feel may be near by. Perhaps simply congratulate yourself for giving it a first try.

We are advised to try this on a daily basis at a similar time each day. Then we begin to get results at the most rapid pace possible. Of course the longer the session the more productive it is as long as it is done well each time.

There are millions of people in the world who will vouch for this method and the incredible results possible. The endgame of sorts is being 100% at one with all aspects of the self and existence etc. Well before that huge gains are made.

For many people psychic abilities or highly increased intuition and mental ability come into awareness. Certainly increased calm and resilience are very widely reported from meditators.

Is it surprising to think that the part of us that resides in the other unseen 99.9% of reality is not much phased by whether we are getting fired tomorrow or our house got repossessed?

There is not is simply sticking ones head in the sand and pretending everything will be fine doing nothing at all. In fact most of those who meditate report gaining an inner drive to do specific actions that later prove to bring optimal results in their lives. Something comes out of the meditation session unseen and feeds our sense of direction. Alongside that comes the ability to accept things as they are in any present moment. Life is lived in the now rather than in daydreams of our past or future.

A friend of mine and I had a running joke when we were discussing our misfortunes, it was centred on the phrase we coined, “turn your breakdowns into a breakthrough". Meditation actually allows that to become the structure of the psychological reality we live in. If any one course will open the door to understanding deeper topics linked to 2012 such as a consciousness shift, then surely this is it?

Preparation is the only way to avoid the mind suffering from a perceived threat in the future.

When we are ready for anything we worry about nothing. When we are ready for nothing we worry about everything.

The beauty of the 2012 change subject, or 2012 phenomena as it is sometimes called, is that it harnesses several subject areas which in themselves offer us amazing skills, abilities and mental paradigms. These seem just the things necessary to adapt our current selves to change. Even if no radical change was ahead many of us would possibly still do well to attempt fuller and happier personal lives.

One of the greatest truisms I learned many times over was in the old proverb, “When the lesson is ready to be learnt, the teacher will appear.”

I think responsible 2012 sites have to provide straightforward helpful information alongside the general subject overviews. Most of us are at the point where we want to take direct action rather than merely learn new information continually. Hopefully by tackling as many as possible of the methods and practices suggested for 2012 preparation we can all find something new and helpful?

Asendance 2012: Prophecy of the Rainbow Warriors [3]

Bruce — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 04:31:14 GMT

The year 2012 has become synonymous with both the ideas of ultra-severe climate and possibly some massive global ascendancy toward a new golden age of compassion and harmony. Conventional researchers as well as spiritual practitioners have begun to speak with similar voices about a time of massive change that should be at the forefront of though for the global community.

In this book we bring together for the first time three of the most important prophecies of the Indigenous peoples of America, the arrival of the Rainbow Warriors, the birth of a New Age after 2012, and the uniting of the ancient Crystal Skulls. It’s objective being to help others in experiencing supernatural events and gaining spiritual awakenings for themselves directly.

About the Author

Bruce Fenton has been a researcher of ancient mysteries and supernatural phenomena for almost two decades. Initially his interest was peaked back in 1987 by a series of collectible cards available free with boxes of Brooke Bond tealeaves, entitled 'Unexplained Mysteries of the World'. This led him to investigate the information pertaining to such subjects as Crystal Skulls, Nazca Lines and the Great Pyramid of Egypt.

Whilst investigating the occult and hidden knowledge he became aware of his own psychic ability and capacity for supernormal experience. He has since been trained as a psychic medium by highly respected Spiritualist National Union mediums. For feats of telepathy and divination the clients of the largest U.S. on-line psychic service rate him as a five star reader. He has a attained a level II in the Usui Reiki healing system having trained with a healer just six places removed from Dr. Usui.

His auto-didactic education includes; cosmology, chaos theory, quantum mechanics, forbidden archaeology and numerous spiritual philosophies. Most noted amongst his studies at this time is the information linking with the Mayan calendar, Rainbow Warriors, and the years around 2012.

Having travelled extensively in South East Asia and elsewhere he now resides in the South West of England with his wife Ninanya.

My utmost heartfelt thanks goes to the community at the Manataka American Indian Council and in particular Standing Bear, for their kindness in allowing me to incorporate their information on the prophecies of the Rainbow Warriors into my book.

Introduction

If you turn on the news today or read the newspapers, it is clear that we live in a time of unprecedented destruction of the world's ecology.
    Thousands of flora and fauna species are under threat or lost forever through mankind’s induced extinctions. The people of the world are afflicted by poor management of life on this magnificent planet and by inability to share resources correctly and outright greed. Millions of people suffer and die unnecessarily every year. Even those who do have material things that allow a secure and safe existence often find themselves weighed down by anxieties, depression, or an indefinable feelings they cannot seem to resolve.
    It is no wonder people sense things are not as they should be. The whole world is teetering on the brink of economic, ecological and sociological collapse. People worldwide are becoming concerned by matters such as; oil, eco-wars, solar storms, and rapid climate shifts.
    Mankind has managed to walk far down the wrong path, missing many warning signs the Universe has left there for him to see. Yet, on the subconscious level and perhaps in spirit, we are all aware positive actions need to be applied quickly before we are overwhelmed by a mixture of the existing problems and other probable natural and cosmic disaster events.
     For us to find ourselves here together considering this matter suggests we are of like minds. We are those types of people who cannot leave a stone unturned or a dark corner unexamined. Likely, many here have researched the potential doomsday scenarios possible if mankind continues down this self-destructive path.
    As a researchers of supernatural phenomena and a spiritually minded person, I spent much time looking into areas that many mainstream investigators tend to avoid. In this work we will be examining the soft data from mystical sources alongside hard data from scientific studies. Let us avoid the outmoded idea that there is only one absolute reality and scientific investigation need exclude all spiritual phenomenon to be valid.
    Everything we are seeing on the global stage via the media appears to fulfil numerous prophecies from ancient indigenous peoples of the planet. The increasing degradation of the Earth has been in the making for a long time and is not unexpected by those in tune with the planet and its interwoven cosmic forces.
    Let us, Earth’s children, take a great leap, a consciousness shift forward into a new way of thinking and being. For that is the path suggested by the prophecies as the only viable solution. This must include a radical change in the way we use planetary resources up as though infinite. True global community is required standing in opposition to increasing polarisation of rich and poor societies. Perhaps most importantly we start the process of redefining ourselves as cosmic beings rather than merely Earthlings. Many of us recognise now that we are interlinked with a greater fabric of existence stretching beyond the planet and common physical reality.
    Do not expect to find here hard data on CO2 levels in the atmosphere, answers to beating oil cartels, or how much melted polar ice required to shut down the Atlantic Belt and plunge us into a new Ice Age. These are best left to other experts.
    This book is meant for the ears of your soul as well as your physical senses. We will investigate as much detailed information as may be needed to expand our minds toward cosmic consciousness. Our conversation will be largely informal as friends sitting in a coffee shop might critique the world, spirituality and the future. Occasionally, we will delve deeply into winding paths of thought requiring your close attention.
    The selection of subjects included is summarised here to allow our minds a moment to prepare. We will start our journey with the prophecy of the Rainbow Warriors itself and a pause to consider its meaning for us in the here and now. From meditating on the prophecy we will move on to the subject of communities being traditionally strengthened by members passing on information through culturally important mythologies, cosmologies and stories. In our modern world there is an ideology which has spread itself into the traditional communities of most every nation, often referred to as the Western paradigm or materialism. This materialist ideology has been the framework that encourages humanities more self destructive tendencies to run unchecked. Importantly we will examine the reasons why its overseers seem frightened of the supernatural and mystical aspects of reality being widely excepted by us the people. In detailing some of these we can perhaps clarify exactly why they pose such a threat, and may be one of the keys to progressive global changes.
    There is a very common experience for those of us already seeking the path toward a brighter future. For want of better words we might call this our awakening event, and though it may vary in specifics it tends to have a generally recognisable format. Some of these experiences are detailed by way of selected descriptions others have given including mystical elements. Briefly the subject of why these events tend to be self realised rather then somehow forced onto an individual by another being.
    Having examined how an individual comes to join the wider community of the spiritually inclined next comes deeper analysis of the spiritual aspects of human beings. This itself opens the door to the next crucial topic which is how the background cosmos itself communicates with us through events, symbols and meaningful coincidences.
    Along the length of our journey subjects such as the Maya calendar, lost ancient civilisations, alien life, natural hallucinogens and dark conspiracies will be featured as each adds to the unified picture of our current state of existence and the process of changing it.
    Most crucially we will tackle the big question, just what future reality might be brought into manifestation by an Earth populated by fully awakened human beings?
    This is a message of hope above all else. Yes there is hope. Predicted long ago by many wise seers in tune with the environment and handed down as time-tested prophecies, the many predictions relate to this time on earth.
    It is of crucial importance that we share this wisdom from the past as widely as possible. Indigenous councils have gathered and decreed that we are at the point when any helpful knowledge should be revealed to the greater world community. Time is short so action must be taken immediately. There is a deadline for radical change to occur. It is marked on the cosmic calendar of the Maya peoples of Central America. The deadline is 21-12-2012. We do not have much time left to do what must be done.
    While investigating ancient prophecies, I stumbled upon the prophecy of the Rainbow Warriors. Whilst reading the prophecy tears came unbidden to my eyes and an intense energy built up inside me, waves of it penetrated to the core of my being. I recognised with an inner knowing that I found within an important part of my own truth, of who I really am beyond social labels and others projections of things upon me. I knew beyond doubt that I was one of these warriors, and that I had to take up the gauntlet of responsibility for our precious Mother Earth.
    One task of Rainbow Warriors is to teach old ways of thought about living in harmony. , Storytelling is an ancient technique of teaching I employ in hopes you too will find the Rainbow Warrior within should you not have already. If not, it may at least help you to find more satisfaction in your day-to-day life experience.
    The Rainbow Warrior prophesy resonates with people in different ways. This presentation is only my understanding, but you may reach a deeper, more penetrating revelation.
    Versions of the Rainbow Warrior prophecy originate among the ancient cultures across the globe. Each version adds something important.

Here are two tenets from the ancient visions of what portents should come to pass and how the revelation would be made manifest.

“...When the Earth is sick and animals begin to disappear, Rainbow Warriors will come to save them...”

“...When the Earth is ravaged and animals are dying, a new tribe shall come unto the Earth from many colours, classes, creeds and who by their actions and deeds shall make the Earth green again.   They will be known as Rainbow Warriors...”

    Every time I read prophetic words about the Rainbow Warriors, I am greatly moved. As a man who runs his life partly on cold hard facts, and partly on the intuition born of inner silence, those words hit me as truth on both levels. There is no doubt that such a movement of Earths peoples is desperately required, and I have no doubt that they have already arrived.
    We each have a part to play in moulding this wonderful planets future. None of us are less or more important to its future. I believe we are incarnated at this precarious time for a special reason and each of us have a pivotal part to play in the unfolding universal drama. We can be fully aware of what it is we came to do, how to do it and what strengths we have that will benefit the world.

Have you incarnated at this time with a task that would benefit the world?

Are you here on Earth to gain knowledge and add strength to your spiritual nature?

The Rainbow Warriors cry out to the global family of rainbow colours. We light a lamp in the darkness so others might find their footing. Mother Earth cries out for us to be our multi-dimensional selves, to tend her gardens and be kind to all of her precious children.
    A very wise friend and internationally respected scientist, once said to me, “Do not worry if you do not find enlightenment along your path for the path is enlightenment itself.”
I agree with him and know with certainty his wisdom will hold true on the path you and I walk together and we will be the better for it.
    The truths found here are honestly presented and available to all. Understanding and employing these truths will be the test of our success.
    The best place to start, if we are to walk ourselves out of the maze ahead, is taking a look at where we are right now. The culture and world view that surrounds us and permeates our lives on a daily basis has to be examined with new eyes.
    It is by no means easy to free ourselves from the prison of the mind that has been built around us, but every structure has its flaws and those weak spots can be our quick route out. I believe that between us we are more than capable of this worthy task.
    The year 2012 is not simply an arbitrary choice to give my story a dramatic edge. It is not just a mystical selection either. Evidence available to us suggests that we may only have four years left in which to prevail.
    There is good reason to suspect the Maya people were tracking an event through time that had occurred previously. Their sand other ancient cultures suggest some elements of which may possibly be harmful to our species.
    We know already that in that year several rare celestial conjunctions will occur as cosmic markers. We know also the sun is set to end a cycle in its magnetic field with unprecedented solar activity expected by notable astronomical researchers.

So let us hold on to our hats for I feel we may be in for a bumpy ride, there is often a little turbulence when we head of for a more sunny location. It is nothing to be feared, just a part of the journey.

As internet radio host Marshall Masters likes to say, “Destiny comes to those who listen and fate finds the rest. So learn what you can learn, do what you can do, and never give up hope!”

The Mayan New Dawn - Maya Calendar and Prophecies by Mayan Elder Don Alejandro Perez Oxlaj [2]

Bruce — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 22:02:37 GMT

Mayan Prophecy and Earth Changes Interview Conducted by Carl Calleman

Don Alejandro gives some very interesting answers in this interview. He deals with a number of questions which can be selected separately should one only be interested in specific topics. The DVD is broken down thus:

1. To be the head of the council.

2. Are the prophecies only for the Mayans?

3. The roll of the Mayan calendar?

4. About the Tzolkin (sacred calendar)

5. Where does the Calendar come from?

6. The Ahau in the Tzolkin

7. Opinion about the Dreamspell Calendar?

8. The 13 numbers and the 20 day signs?

9. The end of the long count?

10. The return of the 12 Baktun & 13 Ahau

11. Message to humanity.

Although there were more question that I would have liked to see asked the ones tackled were all very interesting. I liked that Don Alejandro has a good sense of humour and is very frank and honest. He did his best to dispel the idea that the Maya calendar and the Maya elders depict a doomsday prophecy for 21-12-2012.

Anyone that finds interest in the 2012 subject has a debt to themselves to consult the Maya elders for their opinion. As most of us may struggle to reach Central America and locate an Elder this is likely the best chance we have to do so.

On that basis then I strongly recommend this DVD to anyone drawn to ponder 2012. I think that amongst the questions asked are answers to interest all viewers of the world. Most of all I recommend this DVD because it is essentially a positive message, one that speaks of hope and renewal.

2012 and the Nature of the Shift

Bruce — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 00:58:54 GMT

2012 - Vatican Telescopes, Schuman Resonance & DNA Mutation

There is a wealth of discussion on the nature of the 2012 transition and the effect it may have on us. I note also the discussion seems to fall between two distinct camps as to its source.

This could be the return of another large Planet and its satellites through our space, or the effect on our whole solar system of a returning cosmic wave of energy.

There is conflicting evidence pointing in both directions, promising a combination of both events. It is reliably reported that substantial world Observatory time is dedicated to a particular area of the sky. There are reports of a candidate in deep space on its way to us. Even the Vatican has a radio telescope in the Arizona desert trained to the same spot!

Otherwise, we know of massive vibrational changes already taking place throughout our solar system. The Schuman resonance, as an indicator, has massively increased over the last two decades. (This represents the vibrational frequency of the Earth.)
There has been a massive increase worldwide in earthquake and volcanic activity. Weather patterns are going crazy. Social, political, and economic changes are playing out to affect our whole world. The Sun is acting as it never did before.
Whatever the cause, clearly a big change is underway.

My interest however is in the specifics of the changes taking place within us.
Scientists have already found a correlation between Sunspot activity and mutations occurring in DNA. Apparently, solar radiation has a direct influence on women’s fertility and in the fixing of the DNA of a child at conception.

The Incas already knew; and at their ‘Sanctuary of the Virgins of the Sun,’ ie. Macchu Picchu, females gathered at certain times of the year to manipulate the outcome of their childbirth. This is just one fact to support the case that we cannot escape cosmic vibrational change. The micro changes at quantum cause macro changes in us and our environment.

Scientists would have embraced this long ago if not for the Romans. They collaborated with the Church, and reincarnation was struck out of people’s minds on pain of death. The knowledge did not die however. More people today are remembering and will thereby gain a full appreciation of what to expect in 2012.

By my own experience, we cannot die for the life of us; but I also know that the whole convoluted question of a multi dimensional existence stops dead at quantum.
(i) Convictions are not transferrable, so I am talking from my own first hand perspective.

A physical body is simply a conglomeration of physical matter.
It would not function if not inhabited by the motivating Presence of a person.
The Presence is tangible like the physical body, but just as it is impossible for a blind person to perceive the fullness of our world, so we are blind to the perception of higher levels of equally valid vibrational reality.

When we progress to shed our attachment and dependence on the physical, our perceptions awaken to an increasing awareness of higher levels.

We can visit some of those levels from here ‘out of body,’ and return with the objective experience. This has happened to me on many occasions, especially at the GP in Egypt. Similarly it is possible for those who live in higher levels to manifest here as so called ghosts or apparitions.

We have been entering the wave of cosmic vibrational change for some time.
The Earth, Sun and the other planets are indicators.
The Mayans and other ancients reach to us from the past with the same probability.
I align to the description given elsewhere (ii) that it is affecting us like the birth contractions of a mother to be. The contractions have started, and finally at birth, the cycles will have increased to the point where their affect will be profound. When the changes rhythmically increase towards a climax, we will be faced with such evidence of their effect, it will be impossible to ignore any more.

Well over 30 years ago, long before the internet and any knowledge of 2012; I had a lucid experience where the date 2010 was given to me when the world would awake to these realities.

By 2012, the increase in vibrational effect will be felt by people on two mixed levels:
The higher vibration of an awakened person will be raised more to a point where their physical bodies will not be able to sustain the increased vibration.
In fact their Presence will strain to escape the discomfort of their physical body.
They will release to occupy their new more comfortable world on a level beyond physical. Ascension is as simple as that, only different from natural death and rebirth by virtue of the fact that ‘all’ levels will be moving on in a single shift.

Those of a lower and baser vibration will feel discomfort also, until they acclimatise to their changed world. The shift will have caused earth upheavals to return them to a feudal life and a new learning curve with nature. Their lesson will continue until the next time.

Between the two extremes, some elevated souls will choose to remain, and will emerge as leaders in the post shift environment. This is my understanding of what to expect, and the time to prepare is now. The final outcome for you will be exactly whatever you choose to manifest.

The Maya 5th Sun Calendar Date 31-3-2013: 13-Ahau Tzolkin & 3-Wayeb Haab [8]

Bruce — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 22:54:32 GMT

21-12-2012 & 31-03-2013 Stargates

We know the date 21-12-2012 represents a cosmic event of great note to human spiritual progression. The 2012 conjunction of the winter solstice sun with the dark rift near the galactic centre and the start of a new precession cycle and new Maya Long Count.

This offers us the chance as a species to align with the cosmic energies of massive positive change. We can consciously choose to rapidly evolve our civilisation and are physical and spiritual selves at that time.

I believe I have found a secondary energetic stargate date hidden within the Maya system and thus far overlooked.

Maya Elder Don Alejandro: "On March 31, 2013 the sun will be hidden for a period of 60-70 hours and this is when we shall enter the period of the Fifth Sun."

As with previous important topics I have selected a proper date to discuss it. Today is of course Sun-day 11-01-2009 and Tzolkin 7-Ahau. Ahau also means 'Sun-Lord'.

The marker signs for this important point are spread across numerology, symbolism and astronomical events. It may cause many in the 2012 research community to sit up and take note. For sake of a summary let me just state that it involves all of the below factors.

*Notable synchronisation of the Haab, Tzolkin, Gregorian and Hindu calendars.
*Extensive numerological coincidence involving the numbers 3, 13, 20, 333 and 11.
*A comet returning to its perihelion running on a 13 year cycle
*Venus conjunctions
*A near miss by an asteroid
*Correlation with Christian, Pagan & Hindu rebirth mythology
*Maya prophecy from respected elders

There is no doubt for me that the current Maya Calendar Long Count has a legitimate end date of 21-12-2012. This is not an article seeking to replace the correctly revealed closing of this cycle. What I do seek to do is open the question of whether there is a second date of equal or possibly greater importance occurring in the year 2013. After all the nature of the new cycle concerns us greatly does it not?

I will seek to supply relevant evidence for this theory here. It is however still a theory and may yet be contradicted by further findings as my investigation proceeds.

Legitimate argument for the possibility of a second equally important date within the 2012 period has been raised already by Carl Johan Calleman. The well known Swedish Maya calendar researcher and writer states that the calendar system of the Maya has a strong spiritual aspect as well as cosmic elements to it. The Maya certainly seem to echo this is in all the information they ever share on the subject when approached.

Could it be that an energetic cycle, something like a spiritual biorhythm in human consciousness energy could also be reaching a zenith point alongside the astronomic and cosmic peaks occurring in 2012?

The core argument for a second date for energetic completion is that the last day of the Tzolkin 260 day year is always 13-Ahau (meaning sun, light, or lord). This is because the number 13 and symbol Ahau are the last signs of the interwoven numerical and pictorial cycles. 21-12-2012 is only a 4-Ahau.

Calleman has chosen 28-10-2011 based on his own calculation of increased novelty in the system and the evidence is pretty unconvincing to me. It is significantly distanced from the calendar cycle end date and seems to coincide with no interesting astronomy or astrology. There seems to be little in the way of supporting information from independent sources that this date is more special than other 13-Ahau dates.

Surely even 14-07-2012 as the last 13-Ahau before the end date warrants more legitimacy?
It also happens to fall just 38 days after the important second Venus Transit of the sun. This is a date not to be disregarded by any means.

I found that this other early 2012 date was only slightly more satisfactory than the 2011 date. It just seemed to lack the clout one would expect of a truly important day where a major cycle reaches a climax prior to a new starting point. I sought surrounding numerical and astronomical factors that would be indicative of something important. Absent to are cross cultural spiritual understandings or noteworthy religious festivals and mythology.

31-3-2013 or 13-Ahau 3 Wayeb, seems to fit the required profile almost perfectly.

This date is not only the 1st 13-Ahau after the closing of the current Long Count but also the nearest one in time at exactly 100 days later.

One most compelling consideration is that its Haab date puts it in the central point of the last month in that calendar. Wayeb is however not a normal month the 5 days are considered to be outside of normal time. Obviously it is rare for a 13-Ahau to correlate with the ending of the Haab 365-day year. This occurs only once every 52 years. In traditional Yucatan societies when both calendars ended together people were frightened the world might end and all fires were extinguished. If it did not end they held a new fire ceremony and spread a new flame to the homes of the land. [There seems to be some variance from region to region on the dates and particulars of this ceremony]

The last time 13-Ahau fell during Wayeb was 52 years earlier than this date, of ourse being 13-04-1962.

Interestingly 1962 proved to be a year packed full of memorable historic events for global change and advancement. That 13-Ahau was preceded on 04-02-1962 by an extremely rare grand conjunction at the same time as a solar eclipse and a new moon. At the precise moment of the new moon/solar eclipse, 5 celestial bodies (the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter) clustered within 3° of each other, with the Earth in close conjunction with them. Taken in totality, this grand conjunction included the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, with the Earth also in alignment with the Sun and Moon at the exact moment of the new moon/solar eclipse (8 celestial bodies in total).

1962 was also the year the world really did face a legitimate Doomsday event almost brought about by the Cuban missile crisis!

31-3-2013, 13-Ahau, 3 Wayeb and its stargate signs and portents.

Mayan Elder Hunbatz Men comments on our imminent, ancient remembrance:
"According to the prophecies, in the year 2013 the first stage of higher understanding will begin. If we are willing to work with our subconscious, we will then be able to reclaim the information that has been impregnated in the deepest parts of our being. In this way, the ancient knowledge will rise again."

The Maya have previously explained their concept of important events in time having a type of temporal bleed through. One is guided to look either side of an important event as nearby factors can be almost as important markers to identify a period of opportunity or concern. Let us then bear in mind the weeks either side of this date being investigated.

February 21st has been prophesied by the Yogis of the Sahaja Yoga movement to be the start of the long awaited Hindu golden age known as the Satya Yuga.

This forms a 1000-year break in the negative Kali Yuga cycle which forms 1/1000 of a Kalpa. The Kali Yuga, or "Dark Age," supposedly lasts 432,000 years starting from 3102 B.C.

Sahaja Yogi scholars claim that it is well known, however, that the ancient Indic method of counting years was highly arbitrary from our point of view. They say we have come down to the final days of this section of the Kali Yuga citing that 3102 B.C. is the mirror of 2013 A.D, the Mayan new cycle of time.

March the 20th sees the Vernal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere at 11:02 UT. There are of course equal periods of light and dark on that day. This is also the first day of spring the season of new life. One interesting note here is that the time it occurs at echoes the 2012 winter solstices 11:11. Here the time shows two minutes past as though the second pair of ones have now been added together.

March 27th sees the fairly mundane event of a full moon. Notable only as it helps calculate certain other religious festivals around that time of the year.

The Maya were extremely interested in Venus and its movements. It stands to reason that interesting Venus movements would mark an important 13-Ahau. It does so happen this one on March 30th is smack in the middle of an unusual close coincidence of two Venus conjunctions.

March 28th Venus 43° south of Uranus 0.7° East, and April 6th Venus 42° south of Mars 2.6° East.

In fact March 28th is also the end-date of the Maya Venus-Sun Calendar. It will complete one of its 104 year rounds of 130 Sun-Venus conjunctions.

April 1st near Earth object asteroid 4034 1986 will pass us at just 0.153 AU

April 10th [approx.] comet 63P Wild 1 returns to perihelion as it travels is 13 year orbit of the sun. It was last seen just days prior to the start of the new millennium.

Esoteric, religious and numerological considerations

If we reverse the target date numbers we are presented with 2013-3-31. This can be referred to as the 333 portal in the middle of the pillars of an 11 which form a numerical stargate. Twenty is of course the number of day signs in a Tzolkin monthly cycle. Could these mean the 20 signs take us through the 1-333-1 stargate?

Do not forget that the Gregorian calendar has its own religious esoteric roots stemming back into the distant pagan past via some of its inclusions. Cultists and religious seekers initiated this temporal tracking system. Perhaps not as worthy as those who created the Long Count but certainly not uninitiated fools.

The numbers 333 are ascribed to ascended masters in numerology and also manifest in natural cycles. An example of such is Comet Tempel-Tuttle the progenitor of the Leonids meteor shower with its 33.3-year orbit.

This is a number that has certainly plagued many seekers like myself over the last few years via manifold positive synchronicity.

31st March also happens to be the exact day of the most important Christian ascension festival as this is the date for Easter Sunday in 2013. The Christian esoteric lore here is of course entirely linked to ideas on rebirth and Passover of worthy spiritual seekers. This fact will probably make the 31-03-2013 date more appealing to members of this faith than the 21-12-2012 date. The far older Pagan equivalent to Easter is named for Eoatre a European Goddess identical in nature to the Babylonian Goddess Ishtar. The point here is that this time of year has been linked to ascension subjects for millennia.

In the ancient Alchemist 13 sign zodiac, or Real Sun Sign Zodiac as it is also known, this date is about central within the first sign Pisces, 12th March to 18th April. Another flag that new cosmic cycles start at around this time of year.

For those unaware of the history of the 13 sign zodiac it is the10th constellation that has been removed. The sun moves through Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer between 30th November and 17 December, it lies roughly in the direction of the galactic centre. The 13th and last sign is Aquarius. In the terms of the precession of equinox that happens to be the governor of the next cosmic era our sun will enter.

As an interesting aside the lore of the sign Ophiuchus (a real person), the patron of medicine, states that he learned the secret of the elixir of life from the serpent he holds (Serpens Caput). The twisted serpent is still the symbol of the medical profession to this day. The Maya speak of a serpent rope that comes from the galactic centre bearing a wise being at the end of great cycles of time. It is then rather interesting that in that very direction we have a constellation named for the serpent and a connection with healing wisdom learned from an ascended master.

In the Chinese calendar system February 10th marks the start of their year of the Snake.

Hindu new year or Varsha-Pratipada will occur on April 11th 2013. This is of course just 11 days after the 13-Ahau date. This is also known as Ugadi, a name derived from the Sanskrit term Yug-adi, and meaning, “beginning of an era”. Varsha-Pratipada is the first day of Chaitra, the first month of the Hindu lunar year.

There is one further date in 2013 that interests me, although it is towards the end of that year. I will mention it here just in case it interests other researchers.

Tzolkin day 9-Earth, Gregorian 03-11-2013 leaps out at us numerically. It contains all of the key numbers involved in this stargate subject so far, i.e. 3 11 20 13.
On that particular date a very rare and special annular-total solar eclipse will occur. An annular-total eclipse is an unusual type of hybrid solar eclipse in which a total eclipse is seen along some part of the track of the lunar shadow across the surface of our planet and an annular eclipse (gold ring) is seen along the other part of this track.

This eclipse also has the added unusual property that it is total at the crossing of the Equator and the Greenwich Meridian, 0° latitude 0° longitude. In the 5000 years from -1999 to +3000 there are 15 total eclipses that pass through location "zero-zero". The last was 16 March 1466, the next one 3 June 2114.

The total eclipse begins in the Atlantic south of Bermuda (old Atlantis) and ends in Somalia. The partial eclipse will be visible over parts of the Americas, the Atlantic, southern Europe, and most of Africa, between 10:04:34 UT and 15:28:21 UT.

I hope that there is enough data here to get people talking about the 13-Ahau on 31-03-2013. I for one feel on an intuitive level that 21-12-2012 is the Yang (obscured) energy date, whilst 31-03-2013 is the Yin (revealed) energy date. Just as the rare Venus transitions come in pairs, so perhaps do these rare energetic stargates.

I compare the difference between the 21-12-2012 and 31-03-2013 dates to the full moon and a womens menstrual cycle. They are tied together forever. Their mysterious energy forces intertwine. Yet they are not the same and do not neccesarily occur on the same day.

Maya Shaman Gerado Barrios has this to say: "We are now in a transition period called the 'Cycle of the merge of the dark and the light.'...The cycle of the light will come in full force on 12/21/2012...Mother Earth as a living entity will transcend to another level or frequency of consciousness and a new and special era will begin...This era will be very positive. 'Let all beings rise. Let not one or two stay behind.'...The times are here for total brotherhood...The spirit beings, different philosophies, different races must begin to weave together all knowledge to create the tapestry of harmony and balance...The elders ordered much spiritual work bringing together many indigenous tribes from many countries to perform 'planetary acupuncture.'

UFO Destroys Wind Turbine Lincolnshire UK - Or Secret Taranis Stealth Bomber is Piloted by Idiots? [14]

Bruce — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:39:07 GMT

A wind turbine in England has been destroyed, and one of it’s 65 foot long blades is missing in a strange case locals are blaming on UFO’s.

Locals started reporting strange “flashing orangey-yellow spheres over Lincolnshire” the evening before the mystery destruction. Then at 4am, locals heard a “massive bang” and reported lights in the vicinity of the noise. By dawn, what you see in the above picture was what remained, and the missing blade on the wind turbine was no where to be found.

Just for good measure, some locals claim the UFO’s had arms like an Octopus!

According to one media rag, local authorities can’t explain what occurred with the wind turbine. Health and safety officials said even the strongest gale could not have caused the damage and are calling it a “unique incident.” The wind farm company Ecotricity said “We don’t know what caused the problem. We are investigating.”

One witness, Dorothy Williams, reported seeing an object skimming above the road she was driving on. Whatever it was headed off in the direction of the windmills. Hours later around 4AM her husband was awoken by an almight bang.

It is reported that another witness has pictures of the explosion resulting from the collision. We await their release!

UFO researchers are naturally “very excited” with the incident. Notably the reports of UFO’s in the area came in before the wind turbine was destroyed. Records show there were no aircraft in the area at the time of the initial UFO reports, or at the time of the incident.

Note from Bruce: Although the initial reports of the UFO reported to the SUN newspaper sound rather like yet more Chinese Lanterns, clearly a small paper fire balloon did not cause the damage to this turbine. The mystery is afoot!

BBC News Report UFO Claim Over Wind Farm Damage

Note 2 from Bruce: The MOD has onces again wheeled out this tired line

The Ministry of Defence said it was not looking into the incident.

A spokesman said: "The MoD examines reports solely to establish whether UK airspace may have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised military activity.

"Unless there's evidence of a potential threat, there's no attempt to identify the nature of each sighting reported."

It is rare that I find myself in agreement with the right wing propaganda paper 'The Sun'. Yet I do agree with their statement on this that the MOD position is no longer tenable. In the last year UFO have almost detroyed two police helicopters and flown low over a UK military base. Now they have seemingly destroyed equipment that supplies important energy concerns. It is time the MOD got up off their ass and actually did something! [not just in secret either]

Was this a UFO?

Perhaps not. But I am interested in knowing what caused it anyway.

Latest news: Site sealed amidst speculation of secret Gov. plane incolved in crash.

Well I must admit that now the MOD are feeding speculation regarding a secret plane hitting the turbine I am getting suspicious. Although I was very sceptical this is starting to smack of a real cover up.

Why the hell would a Stealth Bomber end up hitting a wind turbine in an area known to be a wind farm?

Why was it flying so low over the area?

Why is the site suddenly out of bounds if nothing other than wind turbine fragments are on the ground?

Why has the MOD shifted tack from its standard position and allowed rampant speculation of secret craft being involved?

Why have engineers still got no sensible mundane answer after two weeks of analysis?

Does this Taranis really look like a big ball of light with tentacles trailing behind it?

Timewave 2013 - Sacred Mysteries Productions

Bruce — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 22:43:06 GMT

Spiritual author Sharron Rose of Sacred Mysteries Productions brings together an extraordinary selection of illuminated speakers for this deeply insightful film.

This creation is the timely follow up to 2012 The Odyssey, which successfully introduced the 2012 subject to the wider world. Timewave 2013 is for those that get the fact something is going on as we approach 2012 but want to know just what that is likely to be.

This adventure through both modern and ancient spiritual truths takes us well beyond the ending of the Maya calendar on 21-12-2012. Here we are presented with information from diverse arenas such as alchemy, shamanism, philosophy and ancient mysticism.

This film contains serious data that can further ones progress along the path to self-realisation. Esoteric revelations about the coding of DNA and its relation to the Maya 260 day count. Hidden Peruvian teaching on becoming a light being, curiously similar to Tibetan Buddhist rainbow-body meditation. Prophecy of the indigenous tribes is provided direct from the tribal shaman themselves, a refreshing change indeed I must say.

I would recommend watching 2012 The Odyssey before Timewave 2013 if this is to be your first encounter with the 2012 subject. Some of the information is easier to process if the viewer is already open to the deeper energies weaving their way through human planetary consciousness. You might then get your mind blown wide open as well as gain increased preparedness for coming events!

If 2012 is not something you are greatly bothered about you will still enjoy this production. It is far broader in subject matter than anything else available at this time. 2012 is something of a hub and strange attractor of esoteric material, this is an investigation of all the data that has been linked to it by dozens of researchers from myriad backgrounds.

All serious seekers will benefit from this experience.

Here is a list of those interviewed and links to their home sites on the net.

So many questions will be burnt in your mind by the end of this film!

Will we see enlightened beings arrive through a worm-whole in 2013?

Does unravelling the secret of DNA lead to unlocking star-gate science?

What was the builder of the cross of Hendaye communicating to the world?

I can only hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Well done Ms Rose!!!

2012 Science or Superstition – The Disinformation Company Produced Film

Bruce — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 16:45:43 GMT

Whether the 2012 subject is largely made up of scientific data or mostly superstition has become a key axial question for many newly interested readers.

The extraordinarily well produced film, ‘2012 Science or Superstition’, delves deeply into just that question. The team over at disinfo.com has done a fine job in gathering the leading minds of the subject’s research today and asking them to give the public an informed overview.

This is a must buy film for any serious scholar of the topic and indeed for anyone wishing to share the subject with those wholly ignorant to it.

Very many interesting topics are covered such as Maya calendar cosmology; pole shifts, galactic conjunction, Sol’s binary twin, cyclic time, catastrophe, shamanic drugs, prophecy, cultural change, solar mechanics, fractal math and conspiracies.

Viewers will know many of the writers and speakers involved from their other works outside of the 2012 arena. Here is a brief list of those involved and links to their home sites on the net.

Graham Hancock
John Major Jenkins
John Anthony West
Jim Marrs
Daniel Pinchbeck
Lawrence E. Joseph
Walter Cruttenden
Dr. Anthony F. Aveni
Benito Venegas Duran
Alonso Mendez
Douglas Rushkoff
Dr Alberto Villoldo

This is the film that you want to show your friends and family when trying to explain just what your interest in the year 2012 is all about. It should also explain why they too should at least except there is something to genuinely take note of, whether they wish to investigate further or not.

In the film Graham Hancock is particularly helpful in his explaining of how procession works and how it relates to 2012. He also talks about the relationship it had with ancient civilisations other than the Maya. Dr Villodo does well in summarising the way in which humans have become parasitical in nature as oppose to symbiotic when it comes to our relationship with this planet. His knowledge of indigenous American prophecy allows us to enter deeper into the Maya Prophecy subject, which gets much mention online with little explanation of actual prophetic material.

Daniel Pinchbeck and Jim Marrs both expound their feelings that we stand on the cusp of a choice rather than a prophetic destiny. We can choose to shift the direction of our culture and bring about a new Golden Age of man or continue the current downward spiral toward environmental catastrophe. Actually others echo this line of thinking in the film and it’s the position I myself tend to favour.

For those unfamiliar with the subject of Sol’s secret twin the interview with Walter Cruttendon may stand out. The system being binary is of particular interest to planet-x theorists of course. His work is very interesting even though it is not wholly 2012 focussed.

The science of catastrophe is debated head on between science writer Lawrence E. Jospeh and Astronomy professor Dr. Anthony Aveni. Concessions are made on both sides in terms of exceptance of the opposite camps positions. Do not expect an absolute answer to whether catastrophe can be proved or disproved. These are not prophets and merely analyse the date available in an objective as possible manner. Numerous possibilities are considered and investigated.

Also covered in the film are the subject of the Maya themselves and a fairly top level mention of their calendar system. John Major Jenkins and the other Maya anthropology experts go into some depth about the Maya cosmology. The way in which the information was encoded into their glyphs and cultural activities. The astronomy and astrology of change is explained for the lay viewer in a way all can comprehend.

Following The Mayan Calendar From Now Until 11:11 21-12-2012 [9]

Bruce — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 02:03:03 GMT

Many people interested in 2012 have begun wondering about just what it means to follow this ancient Maya Tzolkin Calendar. What exactly does it involve, and what great benefit would it add to our lives?

Especially relevant now as today is 21-12-2008, there are exactly just four years until the end of this 5125 year Long Count of the Maya Calendar system. Also we see the closure of one ‘Great Year’ nearly 26,000 years long related to cosmic mechanisms of Earth and the Milky Way.

Well I have always believed that scientific and spiritual matters both should be tested for truth and relevance by personal investigation. Here I will detail the way to start following this system and a little of what that may mean for you and me. We will take a journey through the steps needed to begin using the Maya calendar ourselves.

Here are some useful links to visit that will enable you to calculate your own Maya signs and get to grips with following the Maya system. I also suggest that like me you hand draw your own calendar as you may sometime be away from a computer with which to check the Maya sign for that day. Also it will help forge your relationship with the numbered symbols themselves.

Maya Long Count Date

Lets start at the begging, using my own beginning for example. I was born rooted firmly into the Gregorian calendar having been born on its first day, 1-1-1977. I believe we choose the exact date of our birth, so that the background energies and other considerations will assist us in our tasks ahead. For me then this was a way to mark my future life as being related closely to cycles of time and cyclical calendars.

Early in the hours of that day I arrived from the unborn non-manifest realms of consciousness and entered matter and form fully. As I took that form specific energy patters were being held within the flux of the background universe that will likely never be wholly repeated. Other aspects of the energies, radiation and cosmic positioning would indeed be run again through the cycles of future time.

Those energies would logically have imprinted in some way on the coalescing matter and sublime consciousness that would later harmonise as the body-mind complex. The mind-body complex would then be named ‘Bruce Fenton’, for abstract reasons relating to social convenience.

Although the unborn infant already has some self-awareness it remains unaware of the physical world, drifting in dream state worlds. This is why the time of birth and fuller awakening to self is more relevant that say the time of conception or length of pregnancy. When we awaken at birth we fully coalesce into our new being.

I was born under the Western Astrological sign Capricorn, and also under the auspices of the Fire Dragon in the Chinese system. These two systems have both led to me gaining useful factual information about life paths, probable roles, and part to play in this lifetime. The Maya calendar adds a greater depth to the understanding of cosmic and spiritual energies interwoven with our lives.

First I calculated my own Maya birth symbolism and checked it with some simple maths to ensure accuracy in relation to the known calendar end-date of 4-Ahau.

My own birthday is number nine and glyph Iiq or K’an, depending on regional Mayan dialect. This is the symbol for Wind and Maize. So I am thus 9-Wind in the Tzolkin 260 day round of glyphs and numbers. That combination would occur again only once every two hundred and sixty days of course.

That in it-self was interesting, but of course it’s the meaning and essence of the calendar that I wanted. I carefully studied the interpretations of my birth symbolism. It was very surprising to find a high level of accuracy and relevance to my own character and habits. Even a sceptic would agree that a superficial glance at the meanings makes for an eye opener.

Quote: “It embodies the power of communication and dissemination of positive thoughts and ideas.”

Quote: “Wind people make great orators, teachers and journalists, spreading spiritual inspiration, knowledge and information as if carried by the wind.”

As I run a popular, positive, alternative web-site, and have written most of a spiritually centred book it was easy to note the clear connections.

The Haab is a 365 day Maya calendar system that runs alongside the 260 day Tzolkin. It has 17 months known as Uinals, 16 being of twenty days length and the last being just five days seen as outside normal time and rather unlucky. This other flow of time measurement was used for more practical aspects of Maya life. It is the more spiritual and prophetic Tzolkin with its 13 months of 20 days that I intend to follow for the rest of my life. Or certainly at least until 21-12-2012.

The Maya teach that if you follow their calendar system you engage with the flow of cosmic reality and actually begin to participate more fully in the unfolding of the creative universe. Synchronicities become every day factors rather than occasional or fairly frequent. We become so attuned to the greater reality that it flows through us giving us additional inner strength and intuitive capabilities. We attune ourselves to the energetic changes lined up for our part of the universe during the 2012 period. We become calm, centred, grounded and enabled to the task of bettering reality around us. We literally become the change we want to see out there in the external world inside ourselves first.

As the wise Native American Hopi peoples have said, “We are the ones that we have been waiting for.”

It is now the time to wake up to that fact, to wake up to ourselves.

From the first of January 2009 I intend to engage with that flow by rigorously following the Maya calendar system. I will check my calendar each day, study the glyph image and its meanings. It will be the day 10-Dog. On the date 13-01-09 it will again be 9-Wind. I intend to mark this with additional meditation practices to engage with the energy of my birth sign. I suggest you mark your own Tzolkin birthday in a similar fashion should you intend to join the many others on this inner quest.

Today is 21-12-2008 of course which is 12-Storm should you be curious.

I hope that after the celebrating of the Solar festival known as Christmas, formerly as Yuletide some of you will feel inclined to join me in the new year in this path toward the 2012 end date. Remember that many spiritual people including several Maya elders believe 28-10-2011 is a crucial cycle completion date as it is 13-Ahau and thus the day both the glyphs and numbers reach mutual completion simultaneously. It would be wise to be ready should this earlier date prove relevant also. Time is running out.

There are actually five key dates that I feel have merit for being treated as extremely important in terms of temporal energy changes and our spiritual self development. The last day of the calendar 21-12-2012 of course, but also three dates that have 13-Ahau ascribed to them. The above mentioned one of course and also that of 14-07-2012 shortly after the Venus Transit on 06-06-2012 an event which is deeply important to the Maya elders.

Lastly there is the first 13-Ahau after the closing of the Long Count which occurs on a particularly numerically and symbolically pleasing date 31-3-2013. It also happens to be 3-Uayeb of the Haab system. This makes it a rare event as Uayeb is the last month of the Haab, made up of the five special days considered outside of normal time. I admit this is the date my intuition is pulling me toward most strongly. It surprises me that nobody else seems to have spotted this amazing calendar conjunction occurring so shortly into the new Long Count cycle.

As someone who has been hounded by the number 333 through my life and spiritual studies, I just cant ignore all those 3’s piling up together bang smack on such a rare calendar event, and in such extraordinary close proximity to the 21-12-2012 date.

Could 31-3-13, 13-Ahau, 3-Uayeb, be the real end-date of the more spiritual energy changes mapped out by the Mayan cosmic consciousness calendrical system?

Spectacular UFO Display Over Halesowen Birmingham West Midlands England - 70 Craft Captured In Video [4]

Bruce — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 14:52:09 GMT

Well what a spectacular UK UFO flap its been in 2009. Police helicopters almost rammed, soldiers in military bases buzzed and lights, lights galore.

This latest sighting has to go on record as Englands largest multiple contact sighting ever and is thus well worthy of note. Check out the footage and make up your own mind!

For those interested here is a link to a similair sighting I had myself 'Chelmsord UFO'.

2012 The Movie - Roland Emerich & the 2012 Institute for Human Continuity

Bruce — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 20:26:42 GMT

Well it has been long expected by many and now it’s finally here. Hollywood has jumped onto the 2012 subject in the form of Roland Emerich's (think Day After Tomorrow) new movie of the name, '2012'.

The trailer does only enough to deliver a flavour of this upcoming production. It’s a disaster flick on a massive doomsday scale. Anyone who has read spoilers knows that this set to be one big rolling catastrophe with minimal legitimate Maya 2012 subject matter.

Here is the latest video marketing effort from Sony starring Woody Harleson:

I do not expect a movie to deliver in any meaningful way, a subject that warrants a lifetime of study.

If what you are looking for is a more factual examination of the 2012 subject, in an easy to follow format, check out the film 2012 The Odyssey instead!

2012 Rising Interviews Patricia Cori - The Starseed Dialogues [3]

Bruce — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 23:16:43 GMT

In this interview we get to hear from Patricia Cori respected writer and spiritual teacher. We are introduced to channelled wisdom on such matters as 2012. With her roots in the very early New Age movement and amazing personal experiences in Egypt, Cambodia and Mexico she makes for a very interesting person to talk with. Her latest book is now available to order.

2012: Hello Patricia, it’s great to have this opportunity to discuss your new book ‘The Starseed Dialogues’. I hope you will be happy to help my readers here at 2012Rising get a deeper feel for the work you do by answering a few probing questions. Although I myself have some familiarity with, and indeed a little experience of channelling, many other readers may not be so fortunate. The same can be said about other aspects of your work of course and I will try to get some more information out of you on your ongoing work in Egypt and elsewhere.

As I understand it you first began your journey of self-development, in this lifetime at least, sometime during the 1970’s. It would seem from the biography in the closing pages of your book that channelling was alien to you until the early 1990’s after you had an experience in a crop-circle. I wonder though if you had already gained from experiences with channelling or psychic-mediumship prior to this catalysing event?

PC: Yes, Bruce – in fact, I was already experiencing psychic mediumship as a child, as early as I can remember, when I was contacted by spirit beings who took the shape of beautiful little angelic beings, ‘little blue people’ I would call them, who would alight on the tall grasses in our field, where I would spend hours playing and learning some pretty ‘galactic’ ideas at a time when there was very little interest in anything outside the box of convention.

Throughout my life I have been gifted with psychic vision. It was something I believed everyone experienced, so it was quite an awakening, growing up, to learn that few people were seeing and hearing what I was – this is a common experience for people who have been open psychics from childhood.

The experience of 1996, in the Julia Set Crop circle at Stonehenge, blew the ‘lid off’, you could say, opening this communication network with the beings who have identified themselves as the Sirian High Council. It is as if I had been fine-tuned, electromagnetically, within the frequencies of the formation, to be able to act as a receiver for their transmissions. I realized only months after working as their channel that the little blue emissaries of my childhood experiences were also from Sirius – coming to me in those early days in a form that a child could embrace and understand.

In the end, we will soon learn that the possibility of ‘radio transmission’ between dimensions is not that much different than our present transmitting systems and the mysticism surrounding it all will be dissipate. This evolutionary step, conscious multidimensional contact, is the imminent reality not only of channels and mediums, but of the collective.

2012: One question that both believers in channelling and sceptics of the phenomena tend to have in common is just how a person can distinguish their own mental chatter from information arriving from some other source on a different plane of consciousness. Would you be able to help clarify the way in which you personally experience the sessions with the teachers, and how you personally verify gleaned wisdom as opposed to personal knowledge bubbling up?

PC: I, too, was and still am very discerning when I am confronted with channelled material – that includes my own work for the Council. Understandably, a flow of consciousness that cannot be verified or sourced in the wealth of scientific and historic information can be easily dismissed by the sceptics.

Often, people who have unresolved ego issues open themselves to receive information from what they believe are higher sources, but what they often bring in are astral entities, who are not necessarily of the highest intention. Information sourced from the astral is usually filled with glowing generalities, prophecies of every imaginable futuristic scenario and a tendency towards ego gratification.

For this reason, I ask the questions of my own work and that of others:

 Does this information contain substance – specific insights that are eventually proven to be correct after they have been recorded?
 Does it reflect information that is of the highest intention for not only the human race, but for all living beings on our planet, in relationship to the entire galactic community?
 Does it resonate as universal truth, that which we know at the deepest levels of our being, while giving us a sense of its otherworldly origins?
 Does it inspire others to raise their own vibration, to love unconditionally?
 Above all – is the channel in ego-less service to the source?

After a lifetime of walking that tight robe of credibility to which psychics are subjected, I have stopped trying to convince others of any of my experiences. In the end, what matters is the information – and how it can empower others to find their own truth.

It would certainly have been easier to present these concepts as my own ideas and projections, than to have put myself out on the limb, declaring myself a channel for beings of another dimension. Having had no experience or education in physics or the sciences, it is a tall order believing that this is my own acquired knowledge. Then, too, is the fact that much of what is prophesized in the books is playing out in the unfolding of our contemporary reality.

As I said, in the end, the reader is asked to consider the validity of the information presented in the books as ringing as truth in his or her heart and soul.

2012: The Sirian High Council certainly seems to be eminently sensible, whether readers except their higher existent reality or not seems to me almost secondary. From my personal research, experience and intuition I must admit it did seem they were very aware of the situation mankind faces. I wonder if you have at times felt that the message they bring would be easier to deliver had you received it by a more popularly excepted method?

PC: What possible ‘popularly accepted method’ is there for information flowing from one dimension to another? To have presented the teachings in my books as a product of my own insights would have been to dishonor the source and to claim authorship of something I know is not mine to claim. No, I believe that at this time on our planet, we are experiencing extremely powerful shifts in consciousness and that more and more people are awakening to the possibilities inherent in a multidimensional reality. Even science is coming around to the idea of such communications: our own governments openly speak now of training their agents in ‘remote viewing’!

As we spin rapidly into a futuristic world of new paradigms, which certainly include the growing anticipation of open contact with other life forms from extraterrestrial origins, I think the time of blind scepticism is fading – and I am honored to be part, in any way, of that change in consciousness.

I deliver the information as it is given to me, uncensored, knowing that what is ‘accepted’ is often the reflection of a collective ‘unconscious’ that has been maneuvered into given mindsets by manipulations of government, religion and other authoritative bodies of control. To be courageous enough to stand in your truth, outside the box of convention, is the way of the dedicated lightworker.

2012: I realise that this book follows on from the previous three popular titles, The Cosmos of Soul, Atlantis Rising and No More Secrets, however it seems to work well as a stand-alone. Was the intention of this work that it could be enjoyed by newcomers like myself, or is it really rather essential to read the previous three titles first?

PC: I believe the book stands on its own, answering questions from a broad range of concerns as to our place in the galactic picture, and these are representative of the questions that are rising in the minds of people who do already have a perception of the greater universal reality. It does indeed invite the reader to go back to the works of the trilogy, the Sirian Revelations, in order to enrich their experience of what I believe is a vast and quite profound understanding of our earthly evolution and far-reaching cosmic events. I hope you will read them!

2012: I found your voyage, as the channel, through the wealth of wonders connected to sacred sites and crystal skulls captivating. As I to am a skull keeper and have been to a few sacred sites in my time, I felt great resonance with the path you have been walking. Much of the information from the Sirian High Council certainly seems self-evident to those of us already walking similar spiritual paths. I wonder if you could share some of your personal feelings connected with these areas of the ancient wisdom and mysteries?

PC: When you read something that you ‘know’ at a very deep level, you are, in essence, validating it as your truth at the core level. This is a recurring theme in the works: the Sirian High Council continually tell us that we know it all, at a very deep (ego-less) level, as all the wisdom is encoded within us at the cellular level! It lies in the scattered pieces of DNA that have been decoded within us, disassembled until now. They tell us that their efforts are primarily focused upon helping us remember our starseed origins – our place in the galactic family. When we remember that forgotten heritage, they assure us, we will lift the veil that holds us in limitation and separation from a universe of conscious life and civilizations.

The indigenous leaders of many cultures, such as the Incan and Mayan shamans, have held the memory of contact with other dimensions and worlds through the oral tradition and it has been very helpful that they have remained relatively isolated until now. As the techno-industrial world encroaches upon their sacred lands, the imposition of contemporary society and our rationally-guided cultures can easily dilute the wisdom still held in these environments into a sort of global mental ‘plasma’ where the essence of the ancient wisdom – and their secrets – begins to dissipate.

I have had the great honor and fortune to visit Tibet twice, over ten years ago, when the people and the land were still relatively undisturbed by the noise of modern civilization. Being there, I was able to understand how the Tibetans still weave the frequencies of sound through the dimensions, holding the planet together! With each journey to the sacred sites of our great Earth, in which I am always blessed to meet the true wisdom keepers, more pieces of the puzzle are given to me and I am enabled, more and more, to see beyond the written record. I offer these journeys to people who, like me, seek to know the power and the wisdom that are still alive in the hearts of the mystics there, encoded in the sacred sites. Will you join me? Information of my sacred journeys programs is available on my website at www.sirianrevelations.net

2012: The information on the ascension of Earth as we pass through 2012 was very helpful in depicting how such cosmic transformation might occur. For those of us particularly interested in 2012 related data would you be able to clarify whether you feel we are looking at a very short period of rapid change, or a more drawn out process?

PC: We are currently passing through the Desert Days, described in the books as the precursor to the Dawn of Enlightenment and our ascension out of this density. According to the Council, the process of our ascension from one dimension to the next will be so fast, faster than the speed of light itself, that we will at first not even recognize that we have made the shift!

Unlike a lot of the gloom and doom information out now, describing days of darkness and terror, the Council tell us that we are in the dark NOW, heading toward the light! Only our fear, they tell us, will determine how much we will suffer through the process. The more we resonate and succumb to the fear and insecurity being stirred within us, the more we will create it and hence – the greater will be our suffering.

In fact, if we look at the economic meltdown occurring at this moment, we recognize that it is being driven by panic-based behaviors in the various investment systems, driving the domino effect through all the sectors of the global economy. Once the panic subsides, the situation will stabilize.

Everything is determined by our intention, our focus and our inner harmony.

2012: On a last note, I wanted to move to the Giza plateau where so many ancient secrets dwell, often just below the shifting sands and just slightly out of phase with commonly held reality. Your contacts from their ascended position carefully explain that Atlantean wisdom can be held in seemingly empty spaces. From my own contacts working in Egypt in a similar format to you, I am aware of the factual nature of that information. How important is the rising of the pre-Egyptian wisdom in the area of the pyramids when set against the background of the entire issues of global consciousness change?

PC: How timely this question is! I am in Egypt at this moment, completing my new book, Where Pharaohs Dwell, and I am sending you this information from my hotel room, as I gaze out at the Great Pyramid! It does show how ‘connected’ we are!

According to my dear brother, Hakim Awyan, the last of the Khemitian wisdom keepers, The Giza Plateau is the ‘in-flow’ epicenter of galactic energies entering Gaia. According to his oral tradition, it is that point of connection with the Galactic Stream of consciousness for the awakening of planetary consciousness and it is the vital source of energy for the Earth mother.

He believes that the forty-two tribes of Ancient Khemit (Africa) were assisted by star beings, and like me, he is particularly connected with Sirius – recognizing that even Ptah, the Creator God, is described as coming from Sirius to Earth.

If we embrace the Khemitians’ belief that here lies the epicenter of the stream of consciousness and light from other star systems and worlds to our Earth, we can understand how incredibly important the often hidden wisdom of the Egyptian high cultures and the anti-deluvian civilizations that preceeded them are to our planetary evolution.

We recognize early Egypt as a civilization of enlightened man, contemplating whether there was intervention from other, more ancient worlds – such as Atlantis, or those of extraterrestrial origins. I believe it serves as an archetype of human potential and that we are due to retrieve secrets that will turn the keys of our locked memory, helping us transition to a higher level of collective consciousness.

2012:Thank you very much Patricia for answering our questions and taking the time to better inform the readers. I very much enjoyed reading The Starseed Dialogues, and will certainly recommend it to others with open minds. I hope that somewhere along the line we get another chance to chat before the worldly events catch up with the turbulence existent already on the more etheric planes of human consciousness.

Namaste

The Starseed Dialogues – Patricia Cori [1]

Bruce — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:43:26 GMT

The Starseed Dialogues - Soul Searching The Universe

I recently had the pleasure of reading this most interesting 2012 related book. It details amaxing things happening right now in the world around us largely unobserved. With the aid of channelled spirit beings from ascended Sirius we are treated to some very captivating gifts of useful knowledge for such times as ours.

I recieved this book thanks to a synchronicity. It arrived just at a moment when it was most appropriate and therefore most of interest to me. Within a few sittings I had devoured it and began to process the wisdom contained within.

Patricia Cori is the author of several titles and is well known within the sub-culture of the New Age movement. She has been involved with the ideas of cosmic change since the 1970s. Herself a gifted psychic she has been at times both guide and teacher for many souls. Her work is a call to mankind to recognise its larger cosmic self and the multidimensional nature of all existence.

For those not familiar with her work I will introduce some central concepts. For Patricia and many others like myself, it is taken for granted that higher realm’s and higher beings, do exist. Personal experience is an indomitable force as it provides not beliefs, but rock solid knowledge from first hand perspective. The interaction with higher energies is simply what it is, mystics do not seek to put it into a one size fits all box for others. That said it is difficult to discuss mystical topics without some readers worrying about it all being a load of woo woo nonsense. For those readers all I can say is try and keep an open mind, we exist in an infinite universe with by any definition infinite possibility.

In this work Patricia acts as channel for a soul group, a collection of higher beings incarnate only in a spiritual form. They do not exist within our basic common four-dimensional experience in the way that, say other people or animals do. They have a link to our realm of existence however via reality at the higher and smaller levels. At these levels energy forms meld, one with one another, as here boundaries between objects, forces and experiences all become vague and uncertain. Our greatest mystics and scientists have given us some understanding of this realm. Certainly it does suggest the reality of psychic interaction between consciousness in various forms. Myriad connections are found such as quantum entanglement and instantaneous transfer of information at a distance.

Patricia encountered the group soul known as the Sirian High Council after visiting an English crop circle in 1996, not far from where I live incidentally. They began to offer a stream of information using her as their preferred channel, whether others exist I am not aware. She validated the knowledge and wisdom over time, and she was thus reassured that what she was getting had both purpose and benefit. The consistent theme of the message was positive and genuinely helping those it reached along with providing nuggets of sound information about our more hidden worldly forces.

The Sirian High Council answers a series of questions from readers of Patricia’s other books. These act as a good vehicle for comprehending the topics and discovering the messages from these other consciousness forms. We learn that the Sirians have been through an ascension event that took them out of the physical universe along with their local star Sirius B known to them as Satais. The event was long ago in our perspective and far away, yet for them we are neighbours spiritually. As good neighbours they are, they make clear, attempting to help but without directly interfering in the way physical aliens might be tempted to do. What they were willing to do is offer some of their own findings based on experience. They’re being resident in a different point in consciousness energetically also offering a radically different perspective if nothing else!

The Sirian entities explain that due to the force of Karma they have become involved directly in the evolution of mankind in at least a small manner. They were known to the wise of Atlantis and have been involved in the thought of the ancient and wise, particularly in the location of Egypt. They explain that our whole system of planets and star now are entering the same universal phenomena that their own did. They see us entering the birthing channel into a higher dimensional vibration experience. We will retain form but the constituents of that form will be radically different to the gross matter that we now take to be ourselves. We will have bodies, but they will be light bodies with enhanced connection to the greater environment around us and within us.

The journey of the channel is also most interesting, as she has been drawn to some of the Earth’s greatest ancient sites. Travelling to Tibet, Thailand, England and elsewhere though ancient sites in Egypt playing a special part. The ethereal teachers discuss matters relating to cache’s of wisdom carefully hidden in that land, just beyond the threshold of consensus perceptual reality. This is something that I have also been made aware of by explorers of spirit still in the physical realm, something that will be becoming far better known in the imminent future. Watch this space (well this site actually).

The Sirian’s discuss how ancient civilisations were brought down at least in part by unwholesome influences from outside out world. Beings from other physical worlds as well as some from other lower dimensions conspired with such persons as would be easily corrupted, together felling might Atlantis. These very same groups work still to hold man in ignorance and hopefully prevent any chance of a spiritual leap forward into five dimensional realities. I should add that in the book it is considered a move into the fourth dimension, for some reason they discount the current excepted fourth dimension of ‘time’ (perhaps due to its illusory nature).

For persons with a wide field of interest there will be much familiar within this book, however it is built on in what I consider to be a wise and measured way. I am generally not impressed by the bulk of channelled material; it is extremely rare for me to out and out give a thumbs up. That said I found nothing that went against the flow of information being gathered by other mystics, seers and indeed many on the cutting edge of science in the quantum fields. The sense was of sensible energetic pretence attempting to add some help at a time of difficult changes in our civilisation, indeed within the hearts of our species.

The message of the Sirian High Council is in the end one of light, one that advises us to walk out into the middle of the river of change rather than clinging to the banks being hammered by the tides. Change is coming around the year 2012 whether you like it or not, and whether that is a personal Armageddon or a personal unfolding into 5D will be your own decision. Karma is the driving force and just as you make it so thus shall ye be carried by it!

2012 Prophecy Doomsday Galactic Alignment & Maya Calendar

2012 & The Consciousness Singularity

21-12-2012, the Mayan calendar, consciousness shift and prophecy of doomsday are now popular discussion. If you have not yet encountered any of the 2012 information related to strange aspects of this particular year this should serve as an introduction.

With films like Roland Emmerich’s '2012' set to begin assailing the public consciousness in 2009, pretty soon nobody will not of heard of this subject. Though I expect little of such movie adaptations from the body of available 2012 research material, they will reach far more people than the books and sites of actual 2012 researchers. Hopefully some will find the subject via this route and stay to learn something more about the world in which they reside. Indeed learn much about the world civilisation, state of the planet, ancient human thought and ways to progress the species forward. I hope so anyway.

This introduction to the subject will have to be necessarily brief in scope, as there is simply far too much for any one person to convey or for that matter absorb, in a single sitting. The basis of the interest in the year 2012 is in the closing of a great cycle within the Mayan calendar system. The ancient Mayan people of Central America kept the most complex calendar system in the known world. In all they had some 17 different calendars running in unison. The best way to visualize this is as a number of interlocking cogs of various sizes grinding against each other, thus days had a number of component parts. Of course we have an element of these process ourselves within our simpler Gregorian calendar, seven named days, up to 31 numbered days meshing with 12 named months as years pass.

Each calendar related information on schedules for tasks or events such as seed planting, religious rites, eclipse’s, mystical predictions and other happenings seen as cyclical in nature. The calendar that most concerns us here is the 13-Baktun or ‘Long Count' system which runs for just over 5125 years, its start and end set by the originators long, long ago. Who exactly set this calendar turning is not known, however it started on 11-08-3114 BCE and is set to complete on the winter solstice of 2012. The most glaring anomaly here is that the calendar does not start from anywhere near the time of its apparent introduction to the Mayan people, they are very clear on the fact that that thousands of years of the great cycle passed before their particular description of its mechanics. Available evidence tends to suggest they inherited the Long Count from more ancient peoples of Central America , likely the Toltec’s and Olmec. Even so, this still does not take us back to anywhere near five thousand years ago.

There are a number of reasons why modern scholars are fascinated by the Mayan people and their amazing calendar systems. It’s important to note that mainstream researchers and those in the counterculture often do not agree on what is most important about this time measuring system. Some aspects however, are considered important by both camps. To better introduce the Mayan people themselves I have used the information of an academic authority on the Maya civilisation, Professor Michael D. Coe. His description of the 'historical Maya' peoples is only summarized here, however his books can be found in your local library or online for the full story.

The ancient Maya people were residents of the Yucatan peninsula, Guatemala , Belize and some parts of Mexico , El Salvador and Honduras. Their civilization rose to prominence in approx. 250AD and receded/collapsed in around 900AD. Before that was the pre-classic period going back to around 2000BC in which they developed a farming culture. The classic period saw the building of some of the most astounding structures in South America including those at sites such as Copan, Palenque, Chich'en Itza and the palace of Xpuhil .

They adopted, and radically advanced, the calendar systems already existing from earlier cultures in the South America 's and took astronomical understanding to a very high level. They were aware of both the solar and tropical year, though seemed happy to go with a 365 day 'vague' year, which slowly shifted due to the extra time ignored. They were however extremely concerned with keeping the lunar month accurate, calculating it to be 29.53020 days long, we now know it is actually 29.53059. For Venus they used a 584 day calendar system, we now know it is 583.92. They also seem to have arrived close to both the years of Mars and Mercury, with their figures of 780 and 116 days respectively.

Maya technology and wisdom was also applied to the arts, they managed to create some of the most amazing works of carving that we know of. The working of hard volcanic stone and gems was nothing less than incredible. Their artists often bored holes in tiny jade beads that were so precise and slim; we today would have to use our most advanced facilities to match them.

The Maya people had a complex spiritual hierarchy of Gods and metaphysical beings. Their rich cosmology, mythology and religious doctrines are absorbing and fascinating. Most notable is the God-Man known as Quetzalcoatl, whom is often discussed in relation to 2012 lore. They perceived time to be cyclical, rather than linear like us. Cosmic order was viewed from a cause and effect perspective, but included causes originating in unseen higher realms, this related to their view that all things are interconnected whether physical or metaphysical.

When a people clearly obsessed with cyclical events, known for pinpoint accuracy, adopt a calendar as enormous in scope as the 13-Baktun most scholars conclude they would only do so if it tracked something particularly important to their civilization. The Mayans themselves have said that the 5125-year period encompasses a single world age and that such world ages are prone to ending with environmental disasters. They have also said that in their spiritual belief system the end of a world age is a time of great opportunity. Each time this occurs humanity will choose to either move into a new more harmonious age, or face an apocalyptic catastrophe. Thus far mankind has experienced four catastrophic events that they recall in their mythology and was largely obliterated by floods, fire, wind and earthquakes.

There is also evidence that the 21-12-2012 date was considered important to various other ancient peoples from the Americas and further a field in places such as Sumer , China and Egypt . Certainly many modern indigenous American peoples agree with the Mayans, most notably the Hopi Indians, but tribes from the furthest regions of the Amazon jungles in the South to the frozen wastes of the Canadian North also concur. In Egypt we find that the pyramids of the Giza plateau seem to have been set in such a way as to provide both a time marker and an optimum viewing platform for the astronomical phenomena associated with the winter solstice of 2012. Some Egyptian mythology states that this event marks the birth of a new age via the 'channel of the ages' from the centre of our cosmos, a location linked with their concept of Ma’at, or that which brings order from chaos in the universe.

During the 1970’s the McKenna brothers investigated the possibility that the ancient Chinese divinatory system, the I-Ching, had originated as an ancient Chinese calendar. They used a Mandelbrot fractal set system to investigate this possibility, and surprisingly the overlay revealed a pattern within the ever diminishing numeric flow. The pattern discovered seemed to mesh well with the 13-month lunar calendar, precession of the equinox, sun spot cycles and recorded major events in human evolution. Although perhaps not conclusive, their findings are suggestive of a calendar system not wholly unlike that of the Mayans being present. It is important to note that their work was done prior to any talk of the Mayan calendar.

What are the physical & meta-physical happenings associated with the year 2012?

The year 2012 has come to serve as a hub, nexus and strange attractor for myriad types of information, predictions, phenomena and events over the last decade or so. The entire period between the early 1990’s and onward to the early 2020’s is almost as important to look at. Unlike the talk surrounding Y2K this is not a one day event subject; most people are not expecting much of note other than certain astronomical occurrences to happen on the 21st of December in 2012, no sudden end of the world. Rather the date is regarded as a spectral portal through which human consciousness itself will pass, and be weighed in its worth, much like the ancient Egyptian belief that men’s souls were weighed on the scales of the Gods, so as to assign them to their correct afterlife.

This period of some two decades or more has been categorized by some of the indigenous elders of tribes such as the Mayans, as the 'speeding up', or 'quickening'. This is so labelled because our perception of events will change, things will seem to happen exponentially faster as time itself spirals into smaller and smaller loops before entering the 2012 singularity. It is also held that in this temporal bottleneck past and future will be constantly in flux, ancient phenomena and future phenomena manifesting alongside those of the modern day. Alogside this timeslip, will be a polarizing of forces with a swelling of interest in compassionate spiritual living, met by a diametrically opposed rise in aggression and greed.

Some of the more often discussed esoteric subjects in relation to this period are the birth on the planet of a generation of highly advanced spiritual beings, currently commonly labelled as Indigo Children, and a massive increase in the occurrence of both psychic abilities and supernatural phenomena. Other subjects being expounded within the 2012 counterculture are the possible arrival of aliens, or some kind of biblical ascension in which 'spiritually pure' persons will pass into higher realms of existence, or indeed walk into the Christian heaven.

The plethora of 2012 information souces also deal with the manifold physical happenings associated with the predicted changes. This includes a great number of disaster level Earth events, as well as radical changes in how human society functions globally both in political and social terms. Most of the related books, web-sites, and radio shows seemingly agree that the period in which 2012 serves as a hub will include many painful happenings. The phrase that perhaps best sums up this mode of thinking would be, “you can’t make an omelette without breaking any eggs”.

Seemingly when new ages of existence are being born it is much akin to a human birth, plenty of pain and suffering pre-empt the moment of joy and relief when the act is complete and all is found to be well. There are a number of both earthly and cosmic disaster scenarios discussed in relation to this time. These include, but are certainly not limited to; mega-tsunami, super-volcanoes, mega-quakes, massive solar flares, super-storms, biosphere collapse, colossal meteor impacts, magnetic & geological pole reversals, earth crust displacement, encounters with an ‘X’ planet or large-scale terrestrial and extra-terrestrial warfare. Each scenario has a wealth of evidence behind it, though it quickly becomes clear that some are far more unlikely than others.

Listen to my 2012 interview here

Important points to emphasize:

1. Despite much of what is being said on the internet currently 21-12-2012 is not a doomsday.

2. If nothing other than certain astronomical events happen on the date this does not quash the subject as the date is merely a hub.

3. Much of what is being discussed in relation to the subject is in no way sanctioned by the actual indigenous Mayan people.

4. Practically every form of supernatural, spiritual, and esoteric phenomena is in some way now linked to the 2012 subject.

5. Nobody is 100% sure about the true meaning of the 2012 data and about what we should do, where we should be or what will happen!

Tea and Meditation with Cheltenham Buddhist Monk Kelsang Rinchen [2]

Bruce — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 16:46:46 GMT

This morning I took a wander over to a Tibetan style Buddhist class on the nature of inherent emptiness within forms. Ordained English Buddhist Kelsang Rinchen runs the Cheltenham meditation class. For those with no knowledge of the Tibetan Buddhist systems and schools I will provide a little background at the end of this post.

I have attended NKT meditation classes before, several times over the years, and always found them to be very welcoming environments led by extremely light-hearted and bright teachers. Today the class was no exception. Kelsang Rinchen had a bright, radiant face that made one feel instantly at ease with his presence. It was hard to tell whether he was in his late twenties or early forties (turned out he was 35) as he had an ageless quality to him.

We opened with some sung prayers for gained peace, clarity and wisdom. Essentially encouraging the Buddha, or Buddha nature, to rise up and help extinguish the suffering of all living beings. The words of the prayer, or hymn, deal with the ideal that to help other beings be at peace and feel happy, first one deals with oneself. In destroying personal delusions and suffering one can become a light for others. Eminently sensible if you ask me.

This was followed by a talk on emptiness and the illusionary nature of reality. To be honest emptiness is one of the trickiest core teachings in Buddhism and it can be a stumbling block for many would be Western practitioners. In a very human way our teacher had to pause at times for though or check his notes, this really endeared him to the group. It helped dispel the projected idea of a great guru able to just roll off all his mighty wisdom to we mere mortals in the audience (all 15 of us).

I liked his use of analogy in which he took the sky and its quality of being blue as comparative to form being empty but seeming to have inherent existence. We all know that the sky looks blue, we refer to a blue sky, yet intellectually we also realise it is not factually blue. Anyone who has ever flown in a plane knows that if they look out the window there is just emptiness with no blue to be found. No blue trailing from the wingtips or hovering over the land below. So it is that on examination things of form so dissolve into emptiness of inherent, independent, self-existence.

Our belief in forms being independently real was also compared to the famous old desert mirage in which one sees water. We can easily go running off after the water fully believing it to be really there, yet in truth it is not. Our senses can leave us confused, worn out, and rather cheated. The mirage of water does exist, yet at the same time the water itself does not exist. It is simply a coming together of certain factors within the environment and within the being that cause the mirage of water to appear. Once the specific conditions for it move apart then the mirage promptly disappears as though never present.

We then meditated on the nature of emptiness in relation to our self, the thing we refer to as ‘I’ or ‘Me’. We were asked to track it down whilst in meditation to see whether it had its own reality, whether it was somewhere inside, around, or external to our form. Are we this thought, that feeling or a certain habit?

Inevitably the meditator has to admit this ‘I’ is nowhere to be found and thus is no more inherently self-existent than the mirage of the water, or the blue of the sky. One person is merely the coming together of certain conditions that bring about a general sense of a whole self. It’s a funny feeling of course to conclude this as fact, bearing in mind that we run much of our daily lives centred on an ‘I’ which has never existed.

Try it for yourself sometime.

After the meditation we had a tea break in which I enjoyed a chat to a lady fairly new to the ideas of Buddhism. She compared its tolerant stance to her cousin’s homophobic Christian beliefs. Also rightly pointing out the air of humour, lightness and non-judgement that the morning’s class had to it. This is something I too appreciate about Buddhist teachings that I have enjoyed in the past.

The last part of the session was more focused on the human body and how emptiness could be found there also. In a rather graphic description Kelsang Rinchen asked us to identify the body. Was it our hand, the skin, internal organs or any other part of flesh. Inevitably one concludes that a body is a complex collection of things that are not bodies. He then suggested that if we took some cats and stacked them into a dog-like shape they do not form a dog. We would merely have a collection of cats stacked in a novel manner. So it is with the body. No matter which part we focus on we can’t identify that part as ‘the body’. The meditation on this was similar in form to the previous one, with us trying to track down the body whilst in altered state.

I very much enjoyed the class and will likely attend again soon.

Kindly Kelsang Rinchen also answered two questions for me, which have been bothering me lately. As part of my investigation into my past lives I hit two snags that seemed likely to unravel my revelations so far if utterly incorrect. My evidence collected so far would suggest that in my last life I finished up as a pretty nasty piece of work and ended life smashed to bits in a car wreck, this was then followed by a trip to the hell realms. The life before that it would seem likely that I was a Tibetan Buddhist Monk killed by a Chinese bullet whilst defending the holy texts within my temple.

The two helpful pieces of information garnered from my questions were firstly that it is possible for a being to go from a life in which they are mostly good in nature to one in which they are nastier. Also the vice versa being possible, and that of course it can happen within a single lifetime as well. The second piece of helpful data was that it is perfectly possible for time in a hell realm to run at a different speed to that on the earth plane due to the fact both are artefacts of delusion anyway. Time, as Einstein once said, being itself illusionary in nature. Thank you Kelsang!

Now as promised here is a brief description of some of the background to this particular contemplative path.

The Tibetan Buddhist system is broken into sub-divisions of thought popularly called schools. The four main schools being called the Gelug, Kagyu, Nyingma and Sakya. Most famous is the Kagyu, as this is the school from which H.H. the Dalai Lama originates. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, the head of the New Kadampa Tradition in which Kelsang Rinchen is a monk also comes from a Kagyu backgound.

For those with a wider knowledge of the subject it’s worth briefly mentioning the controversy that has led to Kelsang Gyatso (amongst many others) being effectively excommunicated by the Dalai Lama. Its important to note that Kelsang Gyatso is a very well respected Lama, invited to the West by Lama Yeshe (a high Rimpoche recognised reincarnation) with a international popularity for the effective way in which his form of teaching has reached western practitioners.

The fallout with such a respected figure as H.H. the Dalai Lama is both unfortunate and a blessing. It is unfortunate in that unified Buddhism is a great thing, Buddhist sects from all traditions of the world in all Buddhist nations have always maintained friendly and rewarding lines of communication. Anything that causes a degree of infighting within Buddhism is of course a great shame. On the other hand I see breaking of lines of authority between Western Buddhist teachers and central leadership within the Tibetan Buddist Government in exile as a step forward for our forming unique Western schools.

In every land Buddhism has reached its exact form of implementation has been modified, keeping the core teachings but fitting the needs of that nations practitioners. This seems to me to be part of the birth of our own flavour of Buddhist thought and practice. I intend no offence to the die-hard followers of the Dalai Lama’s thoughts on this matter.

I will not explain the entire basis of the division. Suffice to say that it stems from differing beliefs regarding one particular spiritual being, a certain Tibetan guardian deity. The argument is complex, and for a Western practitioner almost utterly irrelevant. Suffice to say that for some reason undue importance has been put upon a mode of practice that is not required for enlightenment. It would seem that both sides have made something of a mountain out of a molehill. I do however see why a high profile individual like the Dalai Lama would at times distance himself from practices that might be advised in his name if he feels they are giving negative results. As someone with more of a Therevada education I would of thought the whole matter should have been cleared up by whether use of the practice relating to this deity gave positive results. The Buddha taught that if something in any teaching did not give positive tangible results it should be discarded and not held as an article of faith!

Possible Cataclysms or Planet X Event in 2012? [3]

Bruce — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:03:29 GMT

Ancient Wisdom on 2012

In our ancient records there lays clear evidence for unnerving events afflicted upon mankind in the past. As we enter a time of global environmental changes and a rapidly changing Sun we are looking back with new eyes. Those yet to to have read humanities oldest written book, it would do well to visit the Epic of Gilgamesh. The story involves extremely powerful spiritual beings and survivors of a great flood, it is quite captivating. This book is between four or five thousand years old yet the story is suspected to be much older.

The importance of a great flood is made clear when one investigates the matter on an international basis. There are known to be over five hundred peoples world-wide with ancestral flood stories that depict an enormous and terrifying event. The events concern times going back thousands of years, and generally left either just one, or a small group of survivors. This is well explained in the book ‘When the Earth Nearly Died’. This and other titles such as Forbidden Archaeology, depict clear evidence of some great destructive events in our ancient record.

Researchers of lost civilisations, for example Graham Hancock, have over the years also depicted a view that suggests a massive event which took down several relatively advanced civilisations. Off the coast of Japan, India and the Americas (amongst other locations) there have been found sunken cities and anomalous structures. The evidence in many cases is suggestive of a date for submersion as being over ten thousand years past. This is contrast with common belief holding that mankind was savage until around five thousand years ago with the sudden appearance of the Nile Delta civilisation in Egypt.

A scholar of past mysteries would be wise to visit the Indian texts such as the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita. The texts of the region and the sunken cities, suggest a very advanced culture in the area perhaps as long ago as ten thousand years or more. Once again there is discussion of some people being extraordinary and piloting vehicles. Most famous is the reference to a seeming nuclear war, from which was borrowed the infamous words spoken after the first modern nuclear test, “thus I am become a destroyer of worlds’.

The book ‘Forbidden Archaeology’ tackled the issue of why mankind is so resistant to the idea that an ancient advanced world culture could have been eradicated almost entirely. Remaining so despite the mounting evidence. Taking a psychological perspective it was suggested that perhaps it might be rather like a state of shock. We are as a species possibly still suffering the shock, the amnesia and fear, born of some catastrophic events in our shared history. We have great resistance in looking back at what might scare us about our own current state of civilisation.

Even more clear now is the ring of familiarity some of the fallen cultures seem to have when compared with our own. The fall of Atlantis speaks of a moral fall in which the Atlantean’s begun to use others, as there play things, covered the natural world in a strong white material and became more and more paranoid and aggressive. They misused certain energy resources and technologies, caused massive environmental damage and waged wars of empire.

Hmmm sounds familiar. We seem ripe for becoming a tragic ancient tale ourselves.

One way in which this ancient event has been explained is the possible presence of a large period object out in space. Many researchers and writers have investigated the possibility that some kind of body did indeed travel a course far out from the Sun only visiting the inner Solar system occasionally. From Sitchin’s The 12th Planet, to the more recent Planet X survivors guide, we have been made aware of the possibility our Sun may have a twin. Although at first it may sound preposterous is it actually possible, certainly some of the outer planet perturbation and the behaviour of our heating Sun could be explained by it.

Although I keep a degree of scepticism toward planet X information I have to admit the possibility of a dust shrouded red dwarf orbiting our Sun could explain the ancient accounts. The writings of the Kolbrin depict events directly as observed by the Egyptians and Celts as much as nearly four thousand years ago. These certainly speak of events that felled civilisations and set us back into primitive seeming times with the barest technology. They also warn us that we will likely experience events not far from their own troubles due to the cyclical nature of the mysterious causal phenomena behind it.

Of course planet X is not the only explanation for the seemingly cataclysmic fall of our forbears. There is plenty of evidence to suggest we can have disasters on a global scale with no need to accept a non-terrestrial body. The evidence for such happenings often brings up the phenomena of polar reversals and rapid plate movements. These are not fanciful notions and have bountiful evidence; Einstein found agreement with Hapgood on the possibility of massive Earth crust displacement under certain circumstances. In the case of magnetic pole and physical pole movements causing problems both are based in rigid scientific fact.

Now even NASA is in agreement with the many other independant scholars of solar mechanics, in that massive activity is expected as we approach 2012. Will this extreme solar cycle reversal somehow pull our planets own already rapidly weakening field into a sudden massive reversal I wonder?

We poorly understand Earth’s magnetic field reversals. We understand even less so how areas of crust, or even it in entirety might move rapidly. We do know that such events have happened and seem to often have occurred around the same time as significant species die off. Freeze dry mammoths in the Siberian Tundra, with green grass and flowers still in their stomachs, speak of shocking climate change best explained by crust shift, or our ever-wandering poles.

Whether the rapid changes predicted by the ancients come about by external cosmic mechanisms or by some method closer to home, the actual impact simply varies in extremes of severity. We still have to be mindful of the evidence that the writing may be on the wall in respect of how our global civilisation functions currently. We already operate a (developed world based) social system that speeds up any already existing changes. It also exposes us to additional dramatic risks such as nuclear conflict, disease pandemics and extreme weather events.

I am not a catastrophist by nature, I do not morbidly hold with prescribed unavoidable doomsday events. Yet I do know that when the train is speeding toward a brick wall, hiding out in the buffet car drowning ones worries is not sensible. The train must be stopped, or at least slowed enough that the majorities get to jump off before the inevitable. Over consumption is doomed, materialism is doomed, and capitalism is doomed. Mankind still has time to avoid his own demise and personally I feel it will yet be the case that we do just that for the greater part. As with the Chinese great thinkers, I tend to see worrying change as being simply the reverse side of a great opportunity.

Even many mainstream sources are now depicting the absence of sea ice in the arctic by as early as 2012 and super solar storms around the same time. This alongside a rapidly weakening Earth’s magnetic field, unprecedented species die off, increasingly severe storms and observable rapid climate shifts occurring world-wide, it is hard to ignore. The backdrop for this is the increasingly frantic behaviour as despotic regimes run shorter of fuels whilst a ‘forever war’ rages in the background in the form of the so-called ‘War on Terror’. You do not need to be a fan of Nostradamus or any psychic visionary to be concerned for our near future, certainly for the future of the children born in this period.

There is one advantage we all have that can prevent exacerbated turmoil should a large-scale planetary shift occur imminently. Quite simply we have available the knowledge of possible mechanics, as well as suggestions on how best to pass through numerous predicted happenings. We also have many technologies that may be pivotal in creating a path forward with least resistance.

Most importantly the ancients have left us records on how to seize such a time opportunity to throw off unwanted aspects of the culture and correct any wayward path. These wisdom keepers also left us with clear instructions on how to regain their own higher learning’s as well as methods for progression toward high levels of self-realisation.

Though I shy away from the subject of a doomsday in 2012 I do accept the clear evidence that cataclysms happen as a part of our world. I also accept that no species can exist outside of its natural environment and that our species actions are often suicidal. It is also highly suspicious that we are seeing other anomalous events happening globally, as well as a sudden rush toward a police state with a centralised one-world government. Yet I hold to my belief that we will access the power inside of each of us just in time to avert major catastrophe. The power to shape reality is no longer a secret, people realise that together we make our world and can mould it into something far better with correct harmonious focus.

Our future is bright, we are destined to walk amongst foreign stars and upon a war free home-world. More than that, we are destined to dance, in dimensions most humans never even dared to dream might exist.

We have to seize our moment now so that we make our forbears proud, and give our children a safe future. We will be helped, by those who came before us and by some that never left, also by others yet to show their faces. All those who walk through the darkest moment of the night get to see the majesty of the sunrise. So it is, always was, always will be.

As above, so below.

2012 – The Evolution Of Perception [5]

Bruce — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 23:03:41 GMT

As a self proclaimed psychic medium and paranormal investigator, my interest in the 2012 topic tends to centre on the more supernatural matters. It is my personal conviction that we are approaching a point in mankind’s development where our very ability to perceive background information is changing, quite suddenly.

I truly believe that the year 2012 is a central point in a process or the evolution of perception. I discount the ideas that 2012 is a doomsday or that it is the evolution of consciousness, neither have solid evidence.

What then of my firm assertion that human perception is altering, is there evidence for this then. If so what form might it be taking and how can we begin to assess it. Well the evidence for it is all round you, if only you were brave enough to ask the people all about you.

Over the last decade I have spoken openly of supernatural and psychic matters to hundreds of people. The astonishing result was the admission by the bulk of them that they to have had either psychic or supernormal experiences in their lives. Many have confided that in truth they actually have remarkable psychic abilities that they have never dared speak of for fear of ridicule. Some of these people really are the last people you would expect to claim such things and they would certainly never have volunteered the facts had I not admitted many personal events before hand.

It is for just this reason that I recently took part in a very personal interview with the good folks at Eerie Paranormal Radio. It is my belief that the time has come for those of us that have had incredible experiences (pleasant or frightening) to admit these and help throw off the restrictive yolk of the current thought paradigm regarding such topics. The astonishing numbers of people that are having supernatural experiences has lead me to believe that this more than anything is the evidence for a massive change species wide. Forget for a moment the warming winds, melting ice, increasing hostilities and failing oil. Though these to are signs of the times, they are not for me the signs of the 2012 gateway to a new age, as much as the amazing personal stories that I am hearing every day now.

Whether your story is one of UFO’s, ghosts, healing, prophecy or any one of a myriad possible, you are part of a growing family of ‘experiencers’. My own experience now number in the hundreds and range through most types you would have heard of and perhaps some you will not have. The people I have had the pleasure to be taught by, work with, or indeed assist, have also added to the base from which I work. I do not have many beliefs and leaps of faith, my basis for the work I do and projects like this site are 100% real actual factual reality based events and information. The sceptics can run their mouths of as much as they like; I am not dealing with simple theories and conclusions of researching others pondering. Psychic powers are real. Supernatural events happen every day. These things occur worldwide to people just like you or me.

“But the sceptics are happier in their singleness and their simplicity, happy that they do not, will not, realise the monstrous things that lie only just beneath the surface of our cracking civilisation.”
-Montague Summers

My research and experience make it clear to me that the veil separating our physical world from the multitude of non-physical dimensions is thinning day by day. That barrier is largely a factor of the human mind, the brain, and the way in which we utilise the two in perceiving and forming our perceptions into our personal worlds. I know this because before I took the mystical path I lived in a day to day world, which was wholly, absent of incredible supernormal experiences. My perception was filtered of them despite them being a natural component of reality. Later it was obvious that it was I myself that had been filtering them out with my own beliefs and preconceptions indoctrinated by a shared worldview. The mind does not deal well with things it has already decided to be impossible.

Fortunately each of us has a gap in the self-forged armour that holds out the greater forces of reality. For me the gap was telepathy, something I believed to be scientifically possible and as such the one incredible ability that I commonly had in my teenage years. Thankfully it led me onto a path of investigation which eventually widened the gap to a point where my shield against multidimensional realty could be shattered. For an atheistic capitalist materialist living in a Western nation it took many incredible events to bring this about, and I am still working on my further deliverance from ignorance to this day.

Though I would love to detail my personal experiences here and indeed throw in a few that have been shared with me by others it would drag this into a lengthy dissertation indeed. The manuscript that I am working on for my upcoming book does however detail both these events, and how they are possible. I feel that it is necessary to discuss in detail both the mechanics of the supernatural and psychic realms in conjunction with the actual happenings and effects. Otherwise it’s little more than spooky stories for anyone with no personal related experiences. To the rest, it is merely preaching to the choir.

As for my radio interview just to summarise briefly, it deals with my research on one of the most extreme aspects of the supernatural world. This is the arena of the discarnate entity. Under that topic come thought-forms, tulpa, poltergeists, succubus, shamanic consorts as well as some of the ghosts and aliens possibly. My interview is however more centred on my personal experience with an entity that would be termed a Succubus; I have encountered many other entities of different types over the years. I would be happy to discuss such matters with other experiencers looking for a friendly ear.

LHC Activation & The Search For The God Particle [3]

Bruce — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:40:53 GMT

September 11th 2001, 9-11, changed the way we thought about the day to day world around us. In a single day everything seemed to change, simple basics facets of life were turned inside out. Amazingly we have realised that singular events can indeed change the way we view our world. Will then things be changed globally on the morning of September 11th 2008 seven years to that day when another incredible event has been scheduled for mankind?

On the 10th of September the largest particle accelerator (atom smasher) in the world will be brought on line during a complex series of computer process activations. The circular laboratory runs for seventeen miles under Jura, on the borders of France and Switzerland and is known affectionately as the Large Hadron Collider. The happy researchers at the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN) have been waiting several years for this moment of readiness and an air of trepidation has gathered over the worlds scientific community.

There is a pertinent old saying that I will quote before continuing with this article.

“Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows.”

The reason I am rather keen to quote this, is simply to make it very clear that I am well aware I do not fully understand either the technology or theoretical physics involved in the experiments designed for the LHC. My education in regards to advanced physics comes from a mixture of auto-didactic learning’s and a few elements relevant from School and University education. I can only offer a man on the streets view, and a few linked topics that happen to fall within the realms of my greater expertise (general weirdness).

In my last article I touched upon the subject of the Zero Point Field, also known as the Higgs Field, and its place in our cosmology and indeed its interactions with our reality experientially. Well as with any field the ZPF is held to be composed of particles, in this case a highly elusive particle given the name the ‘Higgs Boson Particle’.

The Higgs Boson is currently viewed as hypothetical as there is no hard evidence for its existence. If found it should be a very large particle of a type known as a scalar elementary particle. It would offer data which could explain why photons have no mass whilst W & Z bosons have lots of mass. These elements are responsible for electromagnetism and the so-called weak nuclear force, thus the Higgs Boson would be an important, indeed fundamental, piece in the puzzle that links the two.

So important in fact is the Higgs Boson to advanced theoretical physics and quantum mechanics, that it has been given the rather tongue in cheek nick name, ‘The God Particle’. The reason why this particle is so important that it merits a name hinting at it being the most fundamental particle to all that exists is because it indeed is. If the particle is found it will open up the possibility of proving a theory of everything, indeed it may even lead to the experimentally evidenced existence of higher dimensions. The layman’s explanation for these higher dimensions is that they are very small curled up dimensions hidden with the smallest elements of our universe, really only advanced mathematics describes them meaningfully (and perhaps mysticism).

Its seems almost a remarkable coincidence that just days before the big switch on, another elusive element seems to have been finally confirmed by new evidence. The element I speak of is dark matter, first evidenced convincingly in August 2006 whilst we observed the Bullet Cluster, two colliding clusters of galaxies. Several anomalous factors in the observed happening there were certainly consistent with the existence of dark matter. That said we know that one example is not always enough to convince the entire scientific community.

The convincing second find came in the form of MACSJ0025.4-1222 a cosmological object 5.7 billion light years distant from Earth. Like its predecessor the Bullet Cluster, this object is formed from two collided galaxy clusters. The dark matter was detected as it had separated from the normal matter during the cosmic crunch. The dark matter distorts light passing through it as though many little lenses were floating in the space between the object emitting photons and us. It is this effect that allows us to detect the invisible, normally undetectable, matter.

With rather spectral dark matter now essentially proven to be real, it would seem most timely for the equally elusive Higgs Boson to be made manifest. Whether the process used by the LHC also creates mini black holes, which then reveal hidden dimensions or particles even more exotic than those sought remains to be seen of course. Many of us quite frankly already know that there is a vast aspect of existence that is currently hidden by a veil of human ignorance. The revelations of the Zero Point and Dark Matter will likely be merely humanity scratching the surface. In my opinion, indeed in my experience, much more still remain beyond the veil.

Incidently the above Taoist symbol with its peculiar similarity to the pictured part of the LHC is called 'Pa Kua'. It represents the 'ever-fluctuating elemental forces of the Universe'. How oddly appropriate for this ancient symbol to turn up in this utterly cosmic experiment.

As for how this all relates to 2012, well that is perhaps two fold. Firstly the symbol portrayed above contains the symbols of the I-Ching. That ancient Chinese divinatory system has been explained as an ancient calender system ending in the year 2012. The second link between the LHC and 2012 is the possibility of the experiment turning Earth into a pulsar in four years time...2012.

2012 & Zero Point Consciousness [8]

Bruce — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 17:35:48 GMT

A Journey Into Fundamental reality

In the field of 2012 research, a common territory to encounter is the idea of transformation, or evolution, of consciousness. That our very base consciousness might be somehow changing is of course quite extraordinary to consider. Problematic though is setting the initial scene for this; after all, in many areas of mainstream physical science consciousness isn’t understood. Rarely is it even given a meaningful and informative description. What then is it that we call consciousness, and how might it evolve?

The best description I have heard for this ethereal element within all living is the one it is given by a group of advanced research scientists.

“Consciousness, at its most basic, is coherent light.”

To take a step toward this amazing arena of knowledge, let us first consider the physical human being. One of the challenges for us is to think about non-physical forces when we are geared up to think about, and interact with, a very physical world. Correct?

Well the problem with this supposition is the fact that we are ourselves made up of physical building blocks named, ‘Atoms’. Under scientific investigation, it was found that over 99% of an Atom is actually empty space. Therefore, as you are yourself over 99% empty space, non-physical, it rather flies in the face of the idea that we are primarily physical beings who benefit by focussing on that element exclusively. What of the other 99%, surely that must be important to look at.

To answer this we need to know exactly what is it that makes up the fabric of existence itself. When we look at the most basic level of the energetic universe, we encounter something known as the Zero Point Field. This field is measurable, commonly is has to be normalised out of many scientific experiments in order to give more clear results. The field is theorised to be an infinite source of potential energy, its identifiable effects however, all occur at the quantum level. Yet we have no Zero Point Energy Well’s, despite research, however the investigations into this have begun to answer many questions about human beings and mental process such as memory.

The non-physical other 99% of you is in fact made up of just this zero point field, and even the other 1% is permeated by it. By experimenting on animal brains, in horrendous procedures, researchers found that memories have no single location in the brain. No matter which areas were destroyed, animals could remember a task they had learned before the experiment. This non-local aspect of memory lead to the realisation that memory must operate rather like a field of energy, it was spread throughout an entire being, not simply stored within its brain. The brain then had to be operating rather like a radio transmitter and receiver rather than like some kind of hard disc data device. There is no ‘ghost in the machine', it’s all seemingly remote control from a more refined level of energetic interaction.

In a previous article, I wrote about some of the relevant research on the subject of the human body having light as a component part. The information maintaining human beings at the cellular level is carried by photons of light. These photons move around channels in the body, referred to as microtubules. The description of a microtubule is rather like describing a mystical symbol rather than a core element of our own selves.

These cell frameworks’ form as hexagonal lattices called tubules, these make up tiny hollow tubes of indefinite length. 13 strands of tubules wrap around the hollow core of a cell in a spiral, radiating outward like a wheel. One of their more astonishing characteristics is the amazing ability in perfectly conducting pulses of light photons. Seemingly, these could well be much like the network of nadis, or channels, spoken of in Eastern medicine. This network of tubules may it seems be carrying information recorded in light to all parts of a person constantly.

Within the coherent light is information, a flow of information that relates everything to everything. On the level of the human being, this means that light photons within the body have a network of such a high order that data is transported around the being almost instantly. To allow this to happen requires reference to that other peculiar science, Holography, the science of Holograms.

Lets not kid ourselves that Holography is some easy answer that clears up the mess, it merely gives us a working model for how this all might be at least possible. The work on Holograms has lead to the acceptance of coherent light, and indeed theories on how information is dispersed in such a way as that all parts of a whole have within themselves the entire collation. The fact is that pieces of broken Holographic plates can produce the entire original 3D image when examined. This shows that instantaneous molecular memory can occur, and that information at the energetic level can be in multiple places at once. What makes each part, just at the moment of shatter; suddenly encode the entire image, unlike a broken picture.

The uncanny way in which this fact matches up to elements of DNA’s characteristics is most notable. We now know that DNA can be extracted from any part of a being, and then be used to image the whole beings composition. We understand that each strand is able to hold any, and indeed seemingly all; possible programs used to create the human body. This perhaps makes one think of the ancient spiritual axiom ‘As Above…So Below’, in that it does seem higher dimensional physics and physical sciences do mesh rather well in this instance.

If we indeed have at our core light in some kind of flux or stasis allowing information to be present everywhere at once, then we are on the borders of Holography and Quantum Field Theory. Welcome to a place where science allows for bi-location, teleportation, faster than light movement, and omnipresence of particles. It’s the Twilight Zone where exist objects of zero mass that can be seen but not measured, data stored in the substratum of space, oneness of all things at the deepest level.

To me it is a place we might call, ‘The Shores of the Ocean of Consciousness’. Beings are like a friction, created by two energy fields moving against each other. The mythical ‘Rainbow Bridge’, or realised human being, via their energy channels and energy centres (Sanskrit names as Chakras & Nadis) is like a step-down or step-up transformer. The human system is able to extract information or energy from the Zero Points invisible realm, and just as well, it seems to be able to take energy from the more mundane seeming realm and utilise it for self-growth. Like a tree, whilst our branches bask in the light above and extract energy, so do the roots burrow down into the darkness to feast upon that element also.

It is too simple to state that we are just Holograms in a Matrix world of illusion. The truth seems to be far more complex, and more interesting. We do have ordered Holographic elements to us, but also the randomness of quantum mechanic process with it. One thing seems for sure though, and that is that the body is an important by-product of consciousness energy, zero point energy, interacting with itself in mysterious seeming ways.

I personally find it easiest starting with the idea that everything is pure consciousness energy, and then work your way down until you get back to why physical things are still real in a manner. Leaning to either extreme of absolute acceptance, or denial, of the reality of things can be unhelpful to self-progress. Like most situations, a middle ground is the sensible and most fitting to the data available at this time.

Yes, we are beings of light, and yes, we are physical beings. Yes, we are all one, and yes, we are all individuals. It may seem an uncomfortable duality to hold, but it should not be held as a theory only. That would be useless; if it is true then we each can surely perform our own scientific investigation to gather evidence. We should be able to bridge the gaps between these truths.

The lucky thing is that we each have one of these mystical anomalies readily available to investigate; we call it our ‘self’. The reasonable person investigating such matters becomes aware that no piece of laboratory equipment is likely to prove this at this time. If our ‘self’ has multi-dimensional attributes then these must surely be identifiable during a thorough experimentation of this most prized possession.

Science is like the magic door to other realms, but it can never step through to beyond, only the researcher themselves can do that.

Just for the record I do not personaly see how consciousness can evolve, when it is already everything that can ever be.

In Search Of The Sixth Sense [2]

Bruce — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 20:36:16 GMT

The Quest For Psychic Phenomena

Amongst 2012 researchers there are many seekers of the sixth sense and many with tales to tell about it. Sometimes however the two combine in one, after all who is more interested in the sixth sense than those who have experiences of it?

Stanley Krippner became one of the leading psychic investigators in America, but the prompting for that came when he was just fourteen years old. He had been thinking of ways to buy an encyclopaedia that he very much wished to own. His parents had refused his request due to their limited funds at the time. It occurred him,

whilst lying crying in bed, that perhaps his wealthy Uncle Max might be able to step in and help. All of a sudden he sat bolt upright in bed with shock with a though clear in mind, 'Uncle Max can't help me because he's dead'. The phone rang in the other room and shortly after his mother answered she was sobbing due to the news that Max had been taken suddenly ill, had been rushed to hospital and died.

A friend of mine had just such an experience, though arguably it was more intense and possibly due to a different type of related phenomenon. 'P' is not a man who would be quick to jump to fantastic interpretations. A former sniper for the paratroopers and at one point a candidate for the S.A.S. he is very much a down to earth chap used to interpreting information in a logical, down to earth and sensible fashion. Yet he claims that he was visited by the shade of a close friend, the friend essentially came to say good bye. The next day the news reached him that the friend had indeed passed away at that time.

A Buddhist monk whom I was speaking to a couple of weeks ago told me about a fellow monk who had such experiences quite regularly. The monk would tell his Sangha brothers about who was about to die. They asked him how he knew this. His explanation was that the shades of these people would come wandering in the woods near where he ran the local charnel house and cemetery. So anyone he saw there, he knew would soon die and be brought to him!

Thousands of people have similar experiences to that of Krippner. By some means information reaches their mind despite not being encountered through the standard sense interactions. The term that most commonly is used in relation to such experiences is 'extra-sensory perception' (ESP). Over the last seventy or so years many experiments have been conducted by researchers of most every nation in the hope of scientifically proving its existence and its mechanisms.

There are three psychic abilities classified under ESP which could be how people, such as those above, might have received there information.

Telepathy - Its is possible that the mind links to the mind of another, one whom has knowledge of a persons death or impending death.

Clairvoyance - It is possible that no mind to mind transfer occurred; yet it was sensed that a person had died or was dying.

Precognition - It is possible that the person in each situation actually leapt ahead in time some how and saw news of the person’s death before that news had been delivered to the present moment.

There is of course a fourth possibility, which is communication with the dead person directly, gaining the knowledge of their death. This ability is referred to as mediumship; it is however generally outside of scientific research into ESP.

The best researchers that I know of in recent years are Professor Eysenck and Doctor Sargent. Both are highly respected scientists whom decided to put their intellect toward explaining seemingly paranormal happenings. The result of this was the most excellent book 'Explaining the Unexplained', a book I have three copies of already and have a compulsive desire to purchase more copies of every time I see it somewhere!

It is essential that when looking at the investigation of psychic ways of attaining information, that Dr Rhine gets a mention. Once it became apparent that there were people for whom psychic occurrences were fairly common, researchers began to formulate methods to test them. Dr Rhine was one of the true pioneers. Based at Duke University, and sponsored by the head of the psychology department, Professor McDougall, he began to initiate experimentation and essentially founded the science of parapsychology. It is for the tools he invented that Dr Rhine is perhaps best known; his 'Zener' cards are legendary in the realm of supernatural investigation. Many people will have seen them in films or television shows that deal with psychic abilities. Each card depicts a shape, typically a circle, a star, a cross, a square and a wavy line.

The Zener card pack is shuffled by an individual deemed 'the sender', who will be stationed at a certain location. At another separate location an individual deemed 'the receiver' would then wait with the symbols in front of him lined out. The sender would pick out a card at random and then focus on it, the receiver would pick a card based on his feeling of what was being sent to him. The laws of chance dictate that any person can expect to get 5 out of 25 correct by normal means of guesswork. Although it is of course likely that one might get more than 5 correct it is assumed that he will also at other times get less than 5, thus an average will remain at 5. Early subjects included a man named Linzmayer who at times would score 100% accuracy; he also did well at predicting cards that were yet to be picked. Rhine’s work over 10 years showed that ESP was more than simply telepathy and lead to investigation of other psychic and supernatural abilities.

Rhine's work although unexpectedly very popular with the general public provoked a vehement backlash from members of the scientific community. It is a backlash that frankly has never ended, and has seen real venom from otherwise cool-headed scientists. The sceptics argued that there was fault with his laboratory procedures, Rhine satisfactorily dealt with this attack. It was then asserted that the error must be with the way he was analysing and recording his statistical findings. This was silenced when the American Institute of mathematical Statistics issued a statement that Rhine's methods had been investigated and were completely valid. The final onslaught was an accusation of cheating lodged against Rhine and Dr Soal another respected parapsychologist. Price, a medical researcher, lodged his argument in no less a place than the respected journal 'Science'. Rhine however calmly entered into correspondence with his accuser. The result was that some fifteen years later an article appeared in science titled 'Apology to Rhine and Soal'.

It must be said though that later it was shown that Soal unlike Rhine, had at times doctored some of his own results and as such despite other genuine work he did has since been discredited. His work can then not be admissible to the great mound of documentation dealing with these subjects.

Although researchers cant as yet bring about demonstrations of psychic abilities to order in their labs investigations have shown these to be very real phenomenon, even if not fully understood. Some of the research even hold out the hope that one-day all people may be able to use psychic powers at will.

Hopi Prophecy Blue Star Kachina is Comet Holmes [1]

Bruce — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 22:34:40 GMT

'Hopi Blue Star or Blue Kachina Prophecy'

The Hopi elders have long passed down their myths and prophecies from generation to generation via oral tradition. Additional details are extrapolated from their many ancient rock pictographs and tablets.

One such prophecy reveals: "When the Blue Star Kachina makes its appearance in the heavens, the Fifth World will emerge".

The Blue Star is seen as the starting herald of a Great Purification period beginning prior to 2012. This would last for 7 years in total. Interestingly comet Holmes 17P travels an orbit around the sun 7 years long. That fact makes for a rather ominous coincidence if you ask this researcher. That should mean the great purification runs through 24-10-2007 to 24-10-2014.

It is said that it will begin when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask. Which partly relates to a certain ceremonial dance involving a specific religious mask from what I understand. It is however also explained as an actual solar object. First it would be represented in dances and later seen in the sky by all peoples of the Earth.

The Hopi ceremonies will supposedly no longer be carried out once the "Kachina" removes his mask. This will be during a dance in the plaza that is held before uninitiated children. In all likelihood that may refer to one of the dances allowed to be viewed by white tourists. Although for a while there will be no more ceremonies, eventually the ‘Oraibi’ will be rejuvenated with new faith and new ceremonies, marking the start of a new cycle of life.

It is also held by many of the Hopi that WWIII may start at that time and would be initialised by the very people who first revealed the light. that is those people in the other ancient nations. Likely candidates are India, Persia, Egypt and China.

Although the war will be spiritual in nature conflict will be tested via the material as well. Material things will be destroyed by spiritual beings. Some will remain to create a new one-world, one-nation under one power, that being the Great Spirit (i.e. Compassionate environmentally balanced governance).

The time for all this was considered by the elders to be not so far off. As stated it would come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina removed his mask. This represented a blue star then far off and initially invisible which would make its appearance in this generation. The time was foretold by a song which would be sung during the Wuwuchim ceremony. As happened just prior to both WWI & WWII.

Well I had an intuition which really got me thinking. I have studied ancient Native prophecies and have a close relationship with some of them, my family are of native Indian heritage. This is explained more fully in my book. Several prophecies have been coming true in the last few years and some of you will at least know of the multiple births of rare white buffalo calfs in the U.S.

It is my conviction that we have now seen the realisation of another one of these prophecies and the 'Blue Star' has indeed arrived. Those who have kept an eye on happenings in space will know about comet Holmes. The comet underwent some kind of explosion of its matter on a scale that was completely unexpected and had no explanation from any quarters.

Images of the object show that its matter continued to expand outward and that it became the largest object in our solar system, larger even than the sun. The pictures beamed back to Earth show an enormous object with a bluish tinge. A blue object the size of a star.

This happened near to the the start of the final fifth night of the ancient Mayan prophetic calendars according to Carl Calleman's research work. A time expected by him to be very trying for the globe. Even normal comets are considered astrological heralds of change seen by our forbears as a sign of severe difficulties. If we are also seeing, as I believe, the harbinger of the time of purification then we really need to step up our game.

Just so that you know, the time of purification is when we are supposed to focus on purifying ourselves of negativity. This is done before the start of a new era of positive global community. It is predicted to be 7 years of severe Earth changes such as severe weather, earthquakes, volcanoes, wars and floods (all things happening already).

Has the Blue Katchina taken of its mask in dramatic fashion, so that all in the world may indeed see?

I would say that this comet turning itself into a blue star sized object fits the prophetic mould.

The Blue Star is seen as fairly benign in itself. The Hopi prophecy also speaks of a Red Star that will follow later. This is seen as more malignant and the harbinger of far more radical and intense unpleasant changes.

As an interesting aside I first published this article on the 22/11/07 and it was pretty obscure. Since then we see it springing up on sites and Blogs all around the net. Either you heard it from me first or a whole lot of us intuitives received a cosmic message at about the same time. Either answer blows my mind!

[Update February 08 - I have been informed by Geoff Stray of diagnosis.co.uk that the Hopi ceremonies are still being held]

Although there seems to be possible confirmation from the Hopi elders regarding their prophecy, we do certainly have confirmation from Mayan elders. It is stated in the interview of Drunvalo Melchizedek that the council of Mayan elders have stated their acceptance of Holmes as the Hopi Blue Star.

Below is a message recieved 02/05/08 from Pete Borlace on both the Blue Star & the worrying situation in Hopiland. I hope that everyone will unite in assisting the Hopi at the worrying time when we may need their wisdom most.

As it happens, I was in Arizona from November to January, doing some volunteer work with the Hopi people. I stayed in Polacca at 1st Mesa and spent time on all three Mesas. When comet Holmes appeared I was still in Phoenix and about to travel north to Hopiland. Once stationed on the reservation for a week or so, I did bring up the subject with some locals, but they hadn't heard of the comet. At present I still haven't heard anything from them regarding this.

During my time with the Hopi I was very fortunate to witness a couple of ceremonies taking place in December (not the Wuwuchim ceremony though), so I know that the ceremonies haven't come to an end yet.

I passed this info on to Geoff when I returned to the UK, and he's mentioned it during talks he's given, including the Alternative View conference last weekend.

However I did mention to him that things on the Hopi Mesas aren't looking too healthy. There's a lot of internal unrest between the locals, and the community budgets have been reduced from last years, meaning that people are going to have a real struggle getting through 2008. It's not an overstatement to say that a lot of people there live in a 3rd world state of poverty. They need help and support, so if you can raise this issue at any gatherings this year I can pass on more info.

Having spoken to quite a lot of Hopi and Tewa people, they seem to know the situation they are in and some are resigned to just getting through it. Others are more active in looking to create a more positive outcome.

Considering the economic situation in the US and the Hopis' increasing dependence on outside support, I can easily imagine a time in the next few years when the ceremonies will cease.

Oraibi (or Old Oraibi) is now a ghost village as no one lives there, save some truly hardened locals. As the prophecy states, it will be rejuvenated after the time of tribulation. I truly hope this will be possible and that the Hopi people will find their way back to a united spiritual path.

Here's looking to a positive future.

Thanks again,

Pete

2012 Period Sees Climate Shift In UK [1]

Bruce — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 21:35:29 GMT

During the summer of 2007 the UK experienced unprecedented rainfall for the months of May and July. The towns of Tewkesbury, Cheltenham, Stroud and the city of Gloucester were all hit hard. This is where I happen to live, and the nature of my job meant this directly affected me.

Not only was my job greatly effected by the flooding but also I lost my water for the first time in my life, as did many others. Ladies and Gentlemen let me tell you that we do not live in a state where natural unity and ‘blitz spirit’ will see us through everything.

The reality on the ground was that civilised behaviour although the norm was rapidly decaying. There were fights in local supermarkets over produce and water bottles, people having punch-ups. The ‘Bowsers’ (a word I had to look up in a dictionary) were stationed at sites around the town and filled by water companies. The problem was that so many were quickly vandalised or worse they had bleach, or broken glass poured into them, or even human urine.

Not sure about you but that did not seam a good sign to me about what would happen if we continued to have increasing weather catastrophe in years to come. Though the flooding was relatively localised to certain areas of the country, it still had a huge impact on business and people nation-wide. At one point there were also many with no water or electricity either and dealing with flooded streets.

A debate quickly raged about whether this was a further sign of climate change and a shape of things to come. With time the standard answer for such things, mere chance, and freak events once every two hundred years simply. Some scientists remained sceptical but towed the line, and eventually the subject faded away. Of course some of us were more sceptical still, and remained convinced we were seeing a rapid climate shift in England. I am a Trinidadian-English person whom has also lived in Thailand I am familiar with tropical weather. It seems obvious to me that we now have a sub-tropical weather system over the UK the rainfall pattern is consistent with more traditionally tropical climates. Winters have now nearly faded away, snow is a rare occurrence and trees and plants left confused about the true start of spring. Then during the moderately warmer months we experience massive downpours, lets refer to those as what they are, ‘the rainy season’. There are now only the three seasons and they are much like those in sub-tropical countries. We seem to have just a ‘dry season’, a ‘hot season’, and indeed a ‘rainy season’.

Of course we must remember that the official line is that this is a freak event and will probably not happen for another 200 years. Well there is a problem with that theory, it is July 2008 (1 year later) and I am sat typing with rain tipping down outside my window. It has been raining for a couple of days straight already and looks set to continue awhile yet. Local towns are already experiencing flooding following rains of once again unprecedented amounts. It seems the BBC is saying that a month’s rain fell in a period of merely twenty-four hours.

It would seem to me that it will be hard to except that this is merely a freak event any more, bearing in mind the loss of the traditional snowy English winter.

In my short lifetime climate shift has been obvious to me. It’s clear that the last decade has been extraordinary in the history of man. With a flow of such events and other radical happenings world-wide, it seems ridiculous to keep pulling out the tired lines about freak events. Tornadoes and cyclones now hit countries very hard on a very regular basis. Mexico, America, Japan, China, Bangladesh, India and other nations have all been hit by anomalous weather events on massive scales that have devastated large areas killing many hundreds of thousands of people (knowing our warped press reporting, the true figure may be in the millions).

At times I feel like I am walking in a dream world when looking at such evidence right in front of me, after years of study and my own predictions of climatic shift based on my research conclusions. These are not dozens of unconnected freak events but rather clearly are evidence of our planets changing climate, due to the same unseen hand that is perturbing our Sun and the all our fellow Sol circling planets.

The people of the UK need to wake up to the new reality that is forming itself right before there slumbering eyes. We day by day seem to sleep walk into what is clearly a dangerous cultural place, police state rules and an ignoring of evidence that our culture is about to face its greatest ever challenge. We face a world, in which it can not exist, being entirely at odds with the actual situation in the surrounding physical environment. Anyone with even a passing education can comprehend that we can’t continue to rapidly consume if there are fewer and fewer resources, and if indeed by our consuming we are speeding up a rapid climate shift event. Alongside that we continue the headlong plunge into the war on terror, a clearly eternal war as by its very nature it has no possible ending other than extinction. In a totalitarian police/military state, it becomes more and more easy for the term’s ‘citizen’ and ‘terrorist’ to blend into one. Anyone is automatically under suspicion of something, and the best way to process that type of reality is to ensure all people are monitored via all communication mediums. Ideally of course people would be chipped for easier monitoring, but it is not absolutely necessary. Powerful people have traditionally managed to control populations with far less technology than that.

Does it seem likely that a civilisation embroiled deeply in an eternal war on terror, seeking to expand its conflicts and ensure materialism and over consumption are available for all peoples of the Earth (survivors that is) will fare well in a period of climatic shift and dwindling resources?

Though I am not a 2012 doomsday theorist and utterly reject the idea of a doomsday date set by anyone, it does seem to me that we are having a rather drawn out version of one. Earthquakes, storms, ice-melt, tsunami and volcano eruptions, all seem to have become every day affairs for somewhere in the world at this time. Although quietly confident that mankind is capable of blundering through the 2012 period of greatest risk, I am also aware that we are not helping ourselves at all currently and I see much strife and much fear ahead for many. Clearly I will not be outside these events, none will be in the end, as they will be more constant and global simultaneously. Possibly acompanied by a field reversal.

Climate shifts are real events, not the stuff of fantasy and fiction, the Earth’s history is dotted with them and indeed with past rapid loss of species. We should prepare for the worst but hope for the best, which has been how humans have weathered events like the ice age and pandemic disease. All else is utter madness, a clearly suicidal tendency within a sickened culture of pure materialism.

Its still raining outside my window, I wonder when it will stop?

Ceremonies Of The Maya, One Calendar Scholars Journey

Bruce — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 23:56:52 GMT

THE MAYAN DAY COUNT

The Maya always start their creation story the same. "We were made from corn".

The daily personal Cholq'ij or Tzolkin calendar is based on the human body and the numbers 13 and 20. There are 13 main joints in the body, the ankles, knees, hips, wrists, elbows and shoulders. The neck makes 13. Twenty because we have 20 fingers and toes. 13 x 20 = 260, the number of days in the calendar due to that being how long a pregnancy is for a human. 9 moons.

The Tzolkin exists because it is the flow of the intentions of the creator. When a person studies the days and the meanings with the intention of being open to receiving the flow, it comes in ways that will surprise even those that do not need to be convinced. One will begin to notice that the intention of each day offers its gifts without delay and without ever missing. It is a map of the intentions of the universe playing out in human and animal behaviour. After a few weeks of following the Tzolkin intently, a person’s life will change. They will become accustomed to the flow and the gentleness of existence will surround them. They will stop using the word coincidence. It is my belief that all the races of man once had this knowledge, but now the Maya are the only ones that have preserved it and are sharing it.

There is one man who is in charge of the day count of the calendar. He is a 13th generation Quiche Mayan High Priest. He is also the Head of the Mayan Elders as well as a Grand Elder on the Council of Elders of the Spiritual Leaders of the Americas. He is also the teacher of medicine to the new Guatemalan President as he gave him his medicine bag 10 years ago. His western name is Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj. His Maya name is "Wakatel Utiw", Wandering Wolf. We now know him affectionately as Tata, which means grandfather.

I had been following the Tzolkin for about 2 months prior to suddenly finding myself in Guatemala with Don Alejandro, Elizabeth (his wife and translator) another Mayan Elder and medicine man Don Rufino, and a group of 15 fellow journeymen. As I was being led on a 12 day journey through Guatemala by these extraordinary and beautiful people, each day the flow of events was unmistakeably connected to the calendar and the meanings set forth. Some of this observance was by design but most by watching the group as well as the people and animals encountered. Many in the group did not know the days. In fact, there were only two or three that had been previously following the calendar. I watched as they were swept into the flow. It was not until the day before the conclusion of our journey that Don Simeon Takira (a Mayan Elder) taught us the original meanings of the 20 days that had been handed down orally from 6,000 BC.

The focal point of the journey was the performance of traditional ceremonies at specific sites relating to the specific days on which it is most beneficial. Ceremonies are celebrated here as they were for thousands of years in many cultures. Homage is given to the Heart of the Heavens, The Heart of the Earth, The Heart of the air, and The Heart of the Water. The ceremonial circle in which the fire is built, is made with sugar and is a circle with a cross defining the four directions. The four directions also represent the four elements as recognized by most shamanic practices. The configuration correlates with shamanic practices from many ancient cultures including Celtic and Native American. Other things are added to the fire to make it pleasing in odour such as incense and tobacco. There are also candles of different colors associated with different intentions that are added to the fire. For example, white candles represent good intentions for the children. All this is done with a great deal of reverence and respect. It is very clear that the intention of the group is primary and the ceremony itself is a way to convey this intention. You are directly addressing your creator and all that surrounds you. This commands awareness and an ability to experience the moment.

It was a great honor to experience these ceremonies being performed by the men in our company and there are many parts of them that were very humbling and gracious. There is a connection to a group, which is greatly enhanced and built upon.

One of the ceremonies performed, was in a sacred cave on the day of 4/Aq’bal was most powerful. The cave had several large openings allowing light enough so that flashlights were only partially needed. Aq'bal is also known as "night" and is a day that can be used to ask for harmony in the home and happiness as well as asking for the essence of the Supreme Being inside the spiritual house. It is recognition that there are 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. It was here that I personally experienced Don Alejandro's magnificence. As he baptised each of us in a sacred fountain coming from the limestone wall, there was tremendous energy. One by one, we each had to climb a short way up to the fountain and lean precariously. Each person, one by one, withdrew from the fountain after hearing his private words and receiving a personal gift of advice. Each one was brought to tears by the sheer truth and honor of his intention. Each one fully realized the enormity of the love of the creator as interpreted through the heart of one man. Our legs were wobbly and we all had to be assisted. Our hearts were filled.

After the ceremonies, we swam in the waters of the cave and emerged feeling refreshed, very much at peace and alive.

That was just a short period of one day.

That last full day of our journey was 11/ Tzi or Lobo or Dog. It is the best day for telling you how profound the meaning of the days can be. Not the most profound for me personally during the trip mind you, just the best one to tell you this way.

It is important to know that in Guatemala the people do not tie up their dogs very much and in fact they do not "own" them very much, but they are there running the streets looking for food and playing with each other communally the way dogs do when left alone. They do not normally approach people; in fact, you will be hard pressed to get a dog to allow you to pet them. I am a huge dog lover and do very well with them but until this particular day, not one dog had I touched or fed or interacted with in any way. They avoided me.

On the day of 11/ dog, I went to the water of Lake Atitlan very early before anyone was up and sat by the water. After greeting the day by watching the huge volcano illuminate on the opposite side of the lake, I walked back to the street to find breakfast. I sat in an open door restaurant and being very early was the only one there. As soon as I finished my breakfast, a large male dog came into the place and walked right over to me. I did not reach to pet him as his tail was not wagging but instead I poured some cream from the table on my nearly empty plate of pancakes and handed it to him. He lapped it up with gratitude until the owner saw him and chased him out. I thought it very natural as each day things of this nature happened corresponding with the calendar. But I did not know it was just beginning.

We finished our first half of the day with a lesson from Don Simeon (A Mayan elder specializing in the meaning of the days) and broke for lunch. A friend and I needed to go to the ATM so we went a short way across town to do so and stopped at another open door restaurant for lunch. Again, just as we were nearly done, a female dog who was obviously nursing pups and emaciated walked uncharacteristically into the restaurant and right up to our table. We of course loaded a plate of food and placed it on the floor for her and she ate quickly to finish just in time to be evicted. The owner was not pleased with us for doing this, but we apologized and left.

After finishing the afternoon lesson, we all broke out into the courtyard of the hotel and mingled there for some time. I was sitting on a bench talking to some folks when a beautiful black medium sized dog came right up to me and began playing with me and gently biting my hand. At the time, I didn't realize it but I was very happy to see this dog and we instantly became inseparable. That dog stayed with me the entire night and waited outside whenever I went indoors then rejoined the end of journey party we were having. I last saw him around 3 am when I finally retired to bed. In the morning, I had forgotten all about him until I boarded my plane later that afternoon. As soon as we were in the air, I was overwhelmed with a tremendous feeling of loss regarding my new friend. I had lost good dogs in the past and it was always hard, but after one day ? The very minimum I can say about the encounter is that it was no coincidence. I still miss that dog.

It is very important for people to realize the day. During this time, we are all concerned about the future and time is speeding up quite rapidly. It is better to relax and focus on each day than to get swept up into the breakneck pace of the rat race. Especially now, I see many people with much anxiety and trepidation about the future. I would encourage them to use knowledge we have been given and stay focused on the day at hand. This way, the future is much simpler to sort out.

Crop Circles, Mind Powers & Aliens. 2012 Related?

Bruce — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 23:26:27 GMT

Now, I have never been a huge enthusiast of the crop circle phenomena. Maya, 2012, supernatural and psychic phenomona are more my bag.

But something caught my attention about the latest design found in an English field. It represents a degree of accuracy mathematically that it was only recognised by an astrophysicist that spotted the image. Somehow, our board-wielding friends supposedly managed to stomp down a field into a design that takes Pi to the tenth decimal place accurately. It does not sit well with my past scepticism. This is a feat that mathematicians are finding absolutely incredible, it beggars belief that a few artists made this with boards or other simple techniques.

Now, I have myself had the opportunity to meet self-confessed crop circle creators from the well-known site 'circlemakers.org' some years ago now. We ended up sat at the same table after a book launch for Breaking Open the Head, Daniel Pinchbeck’s first book. At the table was also as I recall, a nice man from 'redicecreations.com' whom joined in the conversation about crop circles. It may be clear already that I am a very open-minded person. I will give any fringe research topic a period of consideration, and investigation. That said one person from the crop circle group was pretty close-minded about there being any other possibility than human hands at work. She dismissed things that I personally know to be factual based on direct experience, not theory. As such, I was wary of her conclusions about the makers of circles. Her claim, echoed by her friend and fellow group member, was that all the big circles are known to be fakes inside of the secretive world of crop-circle manufacture. Though she admitted that some circles did have unknown authorship. Actually, crop circles, and their cousin, ice circles, have been around for at least several hundred years.

Despite my distaste for elements of the opinions expressed by the circle makers, I was of a mind to mostly agree. It does seem to me likely that regular people do most of the incredible designs seen in fields. It is the tiny minority though that keeps me open to the possibility I am wrong. That maybe these circles are very important images for our cultural consciousness. I admit that I do not find the idea of manifestations of supernormal forces in fields, or anywhere else, as being unlikely. For in my view it is possible that mind may draw these patterns, whether human minds or alien minds. Perhaps somehow symbols or profound wisdom expresses itself onto physical matter by our cumulative energy.

Not so long ago an image near the Chilbolton astronomical observatory drew my attention and indeed that of a section of the world’s media. The use of encoding messages in ASCII binary code was new, and showed a high degree of technical accuracy from the maker of the design. Once again, it was hard to see how a few people in the middle of the night could do this. Even with the high tech help, they get from GPS and laser measuring devices. It did seem however rather unlikely to be from an Alien. I think that ironically sending a picture of an alien face is the least likely way for an alien to make successful contact. It just screams fake, yet at the same time the shocking accuracy makes us wonder if this is more than what we want to believe about it. Once again I do not assume it must be aliens, both mind powers and Earth energies are still to be factored in as well as the seemingly remote possibility of a few circle makers being responsible.

With all the weirdness going on as we head towards, and indeed beyond the year 2012, we must stay open. I will not quickly write off any source of weird data. After all interesting connections with the Mayan Calendar and its end date have shown up in fields before. Well this has got to be the weirdest crop-circle yet discovered on our fair shores, and we get most of the weirdest ones here in the South West of England where I reside. At this point, I will add that I have seen on several occasions Unidentified Flying Objects in the skies over this region. I have no doubt that there are weird things flying above our heads. For doubters please view some of the many STS NASA space mission video feeds, these show at times dozens of UFO being filmed and discussed by both the astronauts and ground crews. Certainly, I cannot ignore a possible link between objects seen in this regions skies and the fact we have many weird patterns appearing in the crops grown locally.

So have the aliens contacted us?

Is the global mind drawing pictures in cereal?

On the other hand, do we have the best crop artist in the world on the loose?

I cannot of course answer for sure, but this circle makes me think it may turn out to be a whole lot weirder than all of those possibilities!!! For my money, this is just to complex to be someone’s idea of a clever joke in the middle of the night.

Toto, we are definitely not in Kansas anymore.

2012 - The Return Of Quetzalcoatl [2]

Bruce — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:21:12 GMT

2012 - The Year Of The Mayan Prophecy

In 2006 the fringe scholar Daniel Pinchbeck, released his second book, one devoted to the subject of 2012. Daniel Pinchbeck has become something of a 2012 media favourite since the launch of the book, partly because of his background as a respected journalist. He has also drawn plentiful attention because of his links to the always controversial and inflammative subjects of drug use and alternative sexual thought paradigms.

In Daniel’s first book Breaking Open The Head - A Visionary Journey From Cynicism To Shamanism he boldly engaged with the neo-shamanic and indeed genuine archaic shamanistic communities of the world. It described the way in which a rather morbidly cynical ‘thirty something’ New Yorker managed to leave his materialist and nihilistic paradigm for something rather more cosmic. Rather more pleasant for that matter.

The first book does not discuss 2012 in any depth only briefly touching on the subject whilst Daniel is visiting a Mayan site, it does clarify just how a respectable journalist ended up cashing in his normality for the weirder life of a 2012 researcher and writer. The short version is that Pinchbeck took a great deal of very strong chemicals and had his head well and truly broken open. The realisation that the mind is perfectly capable of phasing out day to day reality, and then perceiving entire new landscapes with non-human beings capable of interacting with us, left him in a whole new place spiritually and philosophically.

Although the second book was originally released in the USA as 2012 The Return Of Quetzalcoatl the UK edition was released under the title 2012 - The Year Of The Mayan Prophecy. The name change was quite simply because practically nobody in the UK was aware of the 2012 subject, and even fewer would have any idea just what a Quetzalcoatl might be!!!

The book opens with an introduction of the issues that are to be tackled, mainly the current state of our modern global civilisation, such as peak-oil and biosphere issues. Rather we might say it examines the cracks, and the rot that has set in throughout what is actually now a post-modern, civilisation. It then moves on to Daniel’s own life from childhood onward, and an introduction to some of the people that have inspired him. To be honest I found the early part of the book rather slow going, mainly because the people that inspired Daniel were fairly obscure and rather wordy in their philosophies. On the other hand, perhaps I am just unable to comprehend the gist of their esoteric thinking.

There are however plenty of gems even from the start. I enjoyed the discussions on scientific research into etheogens, and the analysis of military research into psychic abilities. Some of the thinkers he referred to were intelligible to me thankfully, and he produced some interesting references from them. The end of the first chapter has us brought up to speed a little regarding the God whose name is in the books original title. We find out something of his achievements and his enemies, as well as his considered nature. The links between Quetzalcoatl and that other 2012 writer, Jose Arguelles, father of the 13-month calendar are also touched on.

For the main part, this book is rather like a strange attractor, a hub of 2012 related people, books and thinking. It tends to skip around at times and refer to persons or topics that I needed to investigate deeper. My advice would be to keep your PC connected to the net whilst reading; you are likely going to need to Google more than once during reading. There are far to many areas touched upon for me to list here, although its fair to say most anything, or anyone connected to the 2012 subject appears at least once!

Where this book holds its own as definitive on a 2012 related subject must surely be on the subjects of aliens and of crop-circles. Indeed, it becomes clear that these geometric cereal phenomena are of enormous interest to Daniel Pinchbeck. He travels extensively interviewing relevant speakers on the subject as well as bringing forth some interesting scientific and mathematical observations regarding these formations. Some of these formations are related to 2012 data. Seemingly, some of the apparent E.T. phenomena are tied up to the subject of changes in our time on a world scale. He also does a good job of bringing attention to the links between alien behaviour, fairies and shamanic experiences in indigenous communities. The book relates much of its findings back to crop circles.

Personally, though I appreciate why crop-circles interest people, and except they may well be very important messages to humanity, I actually find them on of occasional interest myself. For those familiar with Graham Hancock’s book Supernatural all I can say is remember how much Hancock talked about cave paintings, well that is how much Daniel discussed crop circles. I am however in a small minority regarding this subject, so I feel most people will really enjoy the attention Daniel has lavished on this particular area. Sales of crop-circle books and pictures speak for themselves.

The book takes us on a great tour of the modern alternative communities and various camps of metaphysical thought. Amongst these is the Santo Daime whom utilise the compound DMT for unification with spiritual forces. Daniel has something of a brief love affair with the religion, and a close relationship with one of its priestess’s. It is a very eye opening whistle-stop tour of just one of the groups that are currently tied up into the whole 2012 planetary shift business.

We are also taken through subjects more related to possible socio-psychological shifts everything from the way we think about work to the way we view our roles. He explores in some considerable depth sexual attitudes and the way we evaluate our more sensual relationships. Perhaps too openly for some tastes in as much as this is in the context of his own failing relationship and his own desires. Still it is interesting to look through another’s eyes at this deep subject and to be made to consider whether a change in society would mean change in such fundamentals as the way we view relationships. Daniel also observes matters of sexual inequality in a rather non-politically correct manner, which I know offended some readers.

There is much to be gleaned from this book, New Age thought, crop circles, and 2012 peer reviews, aliens, burning man, visions, etheogens, Buddhism and environmental collapse. It is not so much a book about 2012 as it is a book about the now flourishing counter-cultural revolution, and the rise of a new paradigm of thought. The round calendar of the Mayans and its 2012 end date merely are the hub upon which the books wheels spin. The most notable original data in it comes from Daniel’s own channelling of the God Quetzalcoatl whilst in an altered state of consciousness; I will not spoil it by telling you what he had to say about 2012.

For my part, I enjoyed the book even though I admit that at times it was a struggle to fully process through my brain box. This is not an introduction to the 2012 subject however, and would be most appropriate for those who already understand just why the 2012 subject is being discussed. It would help to have fully comprehended the astronomic mechanics and cultural history behind the Meso-American calendar systems before reading. This book is rather like an intellectual joyride through post-modern culture, all the while sticking its finger up to ‘The Man’ out of the window whilst hollering, “2012 m**********r!!!”, as it speeds along.

Check out some of the now over 100 reviews on Amazon before buying this book to get a feel for the passion it ignites in people. It is on my recommended 2012 book list, and I hope you enjoy reading it despite its aforementioned flaws.

On a personal note Daniel seems like a nice and genuine man, I had the pleasure of talking to him over dinner after his 2002 launch of Breaking Open The Head in London. He is without doubt a very intelligent man, that may at times be his undoing, simply because many of us are just perhaps not quite clever enough to follow his train of thinking sometimes. For a past article that perhaps gives away more of his thinking on 2012 topics such as ascension, I would recommend his interview in Fortean Times magazine by Mark Pilkington of Strange Attractor. If however you would rather find out what he is doing currently then simply visit him over at the Reality Sandwich website.

11:11 Synchronicity Phenomena & Winter Solstice 21-12-2012 [4]

Bruce — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:03:36 GMT

11:11 2012 Investigated.

The winter solstice of 21-12-2012 marks the end of the Mayan Long Count cycle. This occurs at 11:11 universal time. This fact opened a Pandora’s box of interesting new 2012 linked data.

Some years ago amidst my explorations of occult subjects I discovered the cult of interest surrounding the specific time 11:11. This movement came about due to peoples peculiar experiences with that time or with the number 1111. Generally speaking this was a matter of synchronicity or meaningful coincidence.

The 11:11 phenomena’s participants would find that most days they would happen to look at a clock at exactly 11:11 or perhaps 23:11. Some tried to explain why this was happening.

The most popular explanation was that a group of higher being, or angels, were using it to bring themselves into human awareness. This explanation became very popular and spawned numerous groups and books. This interpretation of 11:11 phenomena is however not of great interest to most 2012 researchers like myself.

The number 11 in both singular and duplicated form has great importance for 2012 related astrology, prophecy, numerology and history. Lets just start by making everyone aware that if we take the Mayan symbol for 11 and then duplicate it, flip its duplicate, shift them both ninety degrees, we have the image of 11:11.

Of course 11 has its own numerological meanings. One numerological interpretation is that it marks the beginning of new cycles, increased spiritual leanings and compassion. It is considered as one of the master numbers, those few that are not reduced by the addition of the constituent numbers.

This number and specifically the time 11:11 being so linked to the December 2012 event has stunned many of those experiencing these temporal synchronicity events. Indeed it has shocked some of the supernatural and occult subject researchers who had long begun to ignore the phenomenon, myself included.

I have myself experienced many 11:11 temporal synchronicity events. Additionally I have 1:1 in my birth-date, which on an intuitive level always felt some-how important to my life quest. It was the synchronicity of separate personal contacts having sent me 11:11 related data within hours of one another that brought this subject up again actually. Logging into a 2012 site in which to post a follow up I found myself on post number 1111 of the web thread!

An important element of the 21-12-2012 subject is the contemplation of Solar dynamics and Solar behaviour. I am no Heliophysicist or particle physicist so will rarely brave explaining any magnetospheric dynamics in relation to 2012. Even respected ‘experts’ on the science behind the workings of our nearest star admit that they do not have complete models. New understandings are constantly being reached in this area of astrophysics.

There is no doubt that the Sun’s erratic behaviour has massive effects on Earth’s biosphere. We sometimes forget that we do not merely orbit the sun but rather reside deep within its magnetosphere, the invisible part of the sun that extends out as a spherical bubble enclosing the inner planets.

Many experts have contended that changes in atmospheric ion count for example can effect human and animal behaviour, as well as our bio-clocks. Thus influencing biological, physiological and behavioural patterns of all living things. Certainly we know that some frequencies of radiation from the sun can effect cell division or brain functions. Excess or lack of certain frequencies and types of solar radiation have been observed to give radical effects on human beings under laboratory conditions.

The reason why the Sun becomes important in the 11:11 subject is not simply the solstice point in our calendar. It also happens to be that the sun’s magnetic field operates a cycle of polarity reversals averaging 11.11 years in length. The next peak of this cycle happens to be in the year 2012 and has been predicted by some astrophysicists to likely be a very active maximum. Some posit possibly the most active since the end of the last ice-age.

There are also important 11 year cycles in human population growth in respect of birth rates.

Even more incredible is the finding that the entire mass of the black hole central to our galaxy spins once every 11 minutes.

Nikola Tesla, the unsung hero of science whom gave us such wonders as alternating current (imagine not having that!), was very interested in the Sun. Although a hard scientist he was also rather superstitious about numbers, and held the perhaps strange belief that the Sun and the Earth were dynamic living organisms. A belief held by many indigenous peoples of the America’s. I mention this because on some level I am left wondering if the Sun is either consciously or by unknown natural mechanisms communicating with the life forms that inhabit its sphere of influence.

Is the Sun, our temporal governor, speaking to us through the very devices that display its movement through the divisions of the day. Could this really be like the elephant in the living room that nobody wants to see. The sun having an 11.11 year cycle, the winter solstice of 2012 falling at 11:11 and people all over the world finding themselves bombarded with 11’s just as science is predicting some kind of majestic solar event at the peak of this current cycle seems more than coincidence.

One rather dire possible event is the Earth being hit by a massive Solar event such as the November 2003 monster X-ray flare that erupted from the Sun. This was the most powerful solar flare ever recorded at X-28. It blinded the NOAA GOES satellite for 11 minutes.

There is even a cosmic 11-11 mystery. Two comets called 34D/Gale and Boethin, have mysteriously vanished. Both of these were 11 year period objects!

Interestingly 11’s have played important roles in recent history. The 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day is the official moment of remembrance for the lives lost during, and cessation of, the terrible fighting in Europe during WWI. Two minutes of silence are observed, a pair of 1's yet again.

More recently we have the initiation of a war on September 11-01, which may yet be remembered as the start of WWIII. It also transpires that 111 in numerology is a ‘power number’ related to fresh modes of thinking applied to new cycles in life‘s play.

It is of additional note that not only did we have the start of the war-on-terror on the 11th September, but that it was heralded by the destruction of the two great world trade centre buildings appearing to stand above the New York skyline in the form of an enormous 11.The 1st plane that impacted was flight 11 with 11 crew on board.

An aspect of 9-11 not mentioned much is that card number 16 of the classical Tarot portrays a tower struck and crumbling away with people falling. The card appears in Tarot spreads as an indicator of massive tumultuous and painful changes before something new can appear. It was as though the symbol for massive turbulent changes just leap off our Tarot card and onto our TV screens.

As a 21-12-2012 subject matter researcher, it would be perhaps ironic if I had missed the timing of the event in relation to that subject. The events of that fateful day occurred just over 11 years from the end of the Mayan calendar. Was this a vast cosmic herald of great change relating to the numbers 11, 111, 11-11?

Its also interesting to note that the very numbers of the solstice date 21 12 2012 combined give us the number 11 once again. Almost like a fail safe, just in case we were too dumb to notice all the other 11 related patterns!

One fun mathematical oddity is the fact that 1111 multiplied by 1111 gives us 1234321. This forms two sides of a structure like a small Maya stepped pyramid in numeric form. In terms of the much vaunted ‘New Age’ and the coming of the era of Aquarius it is notable that the water bearer is the 11th sign of the zodiac cycle.

Interestingly 1111 days before the 2012 solstice is the date 6-12-09. The fact that 6, 9, & 12 are sequential multiples of perhaps the most highly regarded spiritual number 3 is a notable fact. For my part 3, 33, 333 & 3:33 have been the numbers that follow me through my life more than any others in relation to synchronicity. The 11 link returns when we divide 33 by 3 which of course give us 11 once again. Also don't forget that the date 9-11 can be seen in numerology as 333-11.

Perhaps the most powerful lesson inherent in the number 11, is that there is one, and next to it there is one. I am another yourself, and you are another myself. Each is one. All are one. There is only one or lak'ech as the Maya say.

If only all mankind could find in that a simple positive message.

Vibrations at the Centre of the Galaxy

[Warning This Section Contains Subjective Esoteric Opinions!!]

The 2012 alignment event and the nexus-like 2012 subject of the winter solstice 21-12-2012, involves some further astronomic explanations. Though we tend to view things from a very Earth centred perspective, by this point we have realised that we are dealing with a Sol based subject here. The only area of the topic that is Earth centric is that related phenomena called precession, in which we look at the manner by which our planet’s axis wanders over time through the constellations. Often visualised as the motion of a spinning top, the planet twirls rapidly, whilst its axis slowly traces a 360-degree circular pathway through the stars (visualise an extremely long laser beam from both poles into deep space).

Due to the Earth’s wobble, we gradually change position relative to the sun on the Equinox and Solstice days. These are the days on which the Sun resides in such a position that it will intersect the celestial equatorial and ecliptic planes. These positions can be more correctly referred to as equinoctial points, though for the sake of easing our now aching heads let us stick to the better-known term equinox. These points occur on the 21st day of every last month of a quarter during the year, and upon those days the sun spends an almost, but not quite, equal amount of time above and below the horizon from the perspective of any point on the planet.

The movement of the Earth’s axis (and by default the equinox) through its precessional cycle occurs at the rate of 1 degree every 71.5 years, approximately. Its total completion occurs once every 25,800 years, give or take a little. This vast cycle is know as either the Great Year or the Platonic Year, and is the driving force of the so-called progression of astrological ages.

With all of the knowledge now firmly embedded in mind, back then to the galactic alignment of Sol and the Milky Way’s centre we can now go. Once every 26,000 years the sun rises in alignment with the plane of the galactic equator, and in the line of sight toward the galactic bulge. This does not, for some of us rather surprisingly, suddenly occur on the date 21-12-2012. Actually, like most astronomic process, it takes a period of some years to initiate and complete. Due to the width of the sun the process will take 36 years for the winter solstice to cease occurring in alignment to the galactic equator completely. The precise alignment of the centre of the sun (its solstice point) with the galactic centre actually happened in 1998. As I have said elsewhere 21-12-2012 subject matter (the accurate understanding of it anyway) deals with a period of time in which 2012 is a hub rather than a one-day spectacular.

The new world speculated about in the cosmology and spiritual systems of the Mayans and other indigenous ancient cultures merely begins to fix its structure in 2012 apparently. We have already been constructing it for several years now (God help us!) and it will remain relatively fluid until just after 2012 (perhaps to 2016?). At this final fixing point (whenever it is exactly), in my understanding of the subject, we will have chosen how our new world age will be and what forces will dominate. If dominated by material greed then the realisation of various horrendous prophecy regarding significant reduction of our species seem a reasonable though undesirable conclusion. If we have taken the path of global unity and taken to spiritual seeking on a mass scale, we will then hopefully see the realisation of the more positive ‘Golden Age’ prophecies. At this time neither outcome is fixed, we must be very careful in our conclusions, or indeed our attaching ourselves to any certain outcomes.

Just what is it that both ancient and modern wise-[wo]men and indigenous cultures see as being so significant about this cosmic event in particular then?

What could possibly be set to happen, or indeed be happening already, at this time due to it?

As usual, there are different camps with set views and those sitting firmly in the grey area in which their speculations overlap. There is the camp of researchers who hold that this is utterly a matter of physical cosmic forces. What I mean by this is that they see this huge cycle of cosmic time as ending with a spectacular natural phenomena with very much established scientific explanation. There are a few different such theories and each with its own merits. I will not detail them all in minutiae here as I think its been enough to take in already, but will provide a short list of candidates.

The first possibility is that some form of energy wave will hit us from the centre of the galaxy, in much the same way that certain stars fire out energy bursts from their poles causing havoc to anything in the path. Another is that perhaps intense gravity interaction with astral bodies on this plane will pull comets and other objects out of their orbits firing them at the inner solar system. Perhaps wholly unknown forces from the super-black hole might be having an incalculable effect. In connection with these theories are that some of the theorised energy interplay may be causing both the polarity of our Sun and indeed Earth to radically change, or even suddenly flip. This is by no means an exhaustive look at the more materialistic minded cosmic theories, most of which predict a massive catastrophe for life on earth.

On the other side of the divide, as ever, sit the spiritual and mystic minded researchers. It is for the spiritual folk that this article has been titled, rather tongue in cheek, as ‘Vibrations at the Centre of the Galaxy’. Actually, in truth, it is also so named partly for the catastrophism that is involved in many theories from both camps. The excellent book, ‘The Restaurant at the end of the Universe’ by the English chaos theorist Douglas Adams has of course inspired my title. In his book he takes humanities rather obnoxious habit of rubber necking and enjoying disasters to its ultimate extreme. At the end of all time and space the characters find themselves in a restaurant with a spectacular view of the end of everything, the final mega-catastrophe that destroys all life and existence. The restaurant is of course packed. This is something that any 2012 researcher understands; some of the hits to our sites are from people that would love tickets for just such an event. It would be naïve for us to say that everyone who watches this subject does so with a higher intent, or for self-education, many just want to hear about a spectacular cosmic car crash!

So what is it that the spiritual minded researchers are fixing their intensive, farsighted, gaze upon then?

Well though there may not be an actual spiritual vibrations in the centre of our galaxy, it is a fair description for this discussion. At this time, many of the more mystic minded have concluded (by either mundane or supernatural means) that the alignment with the galactic centre brings an evolution of human consciousness, one that takes us toward becoming more spiritual and multi-dimensional beings. Rather like the ticking of a clock, the various cosmic phenomena are seen to mark numbers on the clock face, with this particular happening being the hands at 12 noon, pointing straight up to the divine engineer and heralding a new phase in its plan. As the clock strikes the final sound, a wave of new level consciousness is unleashed. This wave will then permeate all, or at least our portion, of existence. Humans will suddenly become enlightened beings, or depending on the researcher you ask, at least a certain percentage of humans will become enlightened beings. Most people in this camp agree that individuals will in fact have to be already engaged with the attempt of raising their consciousness by their own volition to be lifted upon the wave. An analogy for this is imagining the difference between a person standing in a strong river and one sailing on it, when a suddenly a large tidal surge arrives. One is carried along, the other one is drowned.

I have set up my tent in one of those encampments firmly established in the grey area, just to clarify my bias. I find that the evidence is compelling for both physical changes on our planet as well as metaphysical changes to our refinement of conscious experience. Though I refer to my spiritual path as highly esoteric, neo-shamanism blended with Buddhism and coloured by striving for the ancient Law of One (no time to explain that here), my Buddhist training makes me highly sceptical of the idea that we can gain instant enlightenment by some outside process or event. I actually believe that the physical Earth changes will give us the opportunity to respond in such a way (compassionately) to the ensuing difficulties on the global populace, that we will have a unique opportunity to gain rapid enlightenment. Moreover, that as we do this we will encounter the ‘Wave of New Consciousness’ and that this spiritual energy will raise us even higher.

The Galactic centre is for me merely the hub of one level in a divine chaos fractal. Each level’s hub being rather like a step-up or step-down transformer for divine energy. To find out more about my theories on this energy and its source, simply stick around.

2012 Cosmic Alignment

One of the key pieces of information discussed with reference to the 2012 subject (2012ology) is a long anticipated alignment with the galactic centre, that is, with the very core of the Milky Way galactic star system. Unless you happen to be an astronomer it is likely that this statement makes the whole event about as clear as freshly churned mud. Some will have familiarised themselves with the details of this already, certainly any serious scholar of 2012 data will have done so. For the sake of casual readers and those new to the topic let me regale you with my recent astronomical re-education brought about largely by studying an excellent (and expensive) astronomy and cosmology book called simply, ‘Astronomica’.

The basis of the 2012 alignment as discussed in relation to this website comes from a synergy of several astronomical phenomena and events. Here I provide you with a quick basic background to all relevant astronomy. To start with we recall that Earth circles the star called Sol (hence ‘Solar’ system), Sol is a star out on the so called ‘Local’ or ‘Orion’ arm of a Spiral type Galaxy named The Milky Way. For sake of general interest lets include also the dimensions of our Galaxy, it is around 100,000 light years in diameter (excluding the atomic hydrogen gas and dark matter) and includes some 100 billion stars.

Thanks initially to viewing other galaxies of the same type it became clear that spiral arm galaxies had at their centre a bulge. Looking up into our night sky in the right location at the right time confirms that we to have such a bulge, and that we are indeed looking edge on at a galactic disk. For those in the Southern hemisphere this is all the more clearly seen. Comparative studies show that this bulge is indeed the centre of a spiral galaxy, and has itself a number of unique phenomena associated to it that should be explained here for a better understanding of our cosmic position.

The sun although currently out in one of the spiral arms, is however not attached to it, we are passing through only as we circle the core of our galaxy at the admirable speed of 135 miles per second. Taking into account our distance from the hub, which is 28,000 light years, we can calculate that one complete orbit of the solar system takes 230 million years.

Turning our eyes, and indeed advanced radio telescopes, inward toward the core we see there is a band of darkness strung along the central galactic plane, this is known as the Great Rift, and these dust clouds will later cause us some problems in our observations. Zooming in further we see the Spherical Halo that makes up our earlier witnessed bulge, it incorporates several globular clusters of stars as well as the major star birthing clouds of the Milky Way, these form a kind of shell about the true central core (interestingly unlike the rest of the stars in the galaxy which all orbit in the same direction, the stars here move in various directions). Lets not be deceived into visualising an empty shell however as there is more to be discovered within.

Finally we come to the core itself, long obscured from even the mightiest telescoped due to those dense clouds around it. Thanks though to advanced infrared detection we have discovered that the core is slightly peanut shaped, with a central bar of extremely ancient stars acting like a central column about which all else turns, residing within ionised molecular gas, a structure known as the 3-5 kilo parsec ring. There is at the nucleus a cluster of millions of these very ancient stars. The observed velocity of this star cluster has lead to the understanding that they are being interacted upon by a black hole with the mass of four million stars!

Black holes are one of the most fascinating phenomena in the known Universe. For those not familiar with Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, it states that when huge mass is compressed into small space the normal dimensions of space become warped. At that point nothing can escape, not even light. With no light we of course have no visibility of the object. This results in a so called black hole, a type of quantum singularity into which everything about it is drawn by incredibly intense gravitational forces. A star significantly larger than our own can in its final stages become a black hole with intense gravitational pull, therefore the forces involved in a black hole of four million solar mass is rather mind boggling. The black hole can be thought of rather like the plug hole about which water spins as it exit’s a bathtub. Fortunately we are not being rapidly pulled into our own plug hole, the distances involved seem to allow relative balance for the surrounding stars.

Hopefully this has laid the foundations of a better appreciation of our place within the Universe and the mechanism’s of the cosmos that surround us and indeed lead our very existence. Most importantly now when someone mutters something about an alignment with the galactic centre we will immediately know just what the centre of the galaxy is ‘all about’.

The Galactic Alignment In 2012 - Part 2

2012 & The Kali Yuga [3]

Bruce — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 19:09:16 GMT

One of the most interesting calendar coincidences in relation to the Mayan 2012 information, is the similarity between the start dates of the last long count cycle of the Mayan system and the Hindu’s Kali Yuga. Yuga’s are vast periods of time, epoch’s that relate to the Earths journey around a cosmological central sun. The four Yuga (Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga and Kali Yuga) together make up an entire world age between creation and destruction events, held to be around 4,320,000 years in total duration.

Most 21-12-2012 researchers are aware of the 3114BCE start date of the current long count cycle, less people are aware however that the Kali Yuga, a predicted era of moral decent and spiritual bleakness, began in the year 3102BCE. A startling similarity, a mere 12 years difference for systems on different sides of the planet. The Brahma Vaivarta Purana Sutra from ancient India depicts a period which has many of the failings visible in our modern society, such is the backdrop of the spiritual decline in the Kali Yuga.

It is however a mistake for people to seek a link between the Mayan 2012 end-date and the closing of the Kali Yuga. Though their starts may have links the ends do not (although some suggest this is an error). The Kali Yuga is set to continue on for a vast period of time, at least 432,000 years, well eclipsing the 5126 years of the Mayan Long Count. Scholars from philosophies such as Buddhism, and from religions such as Brahmanist Hinduism, often discuss ages as being many millions of years long, entire vast Kalpa of time are addressed.

There is an excellent Buddhist parable that depicts visually an era of time described as an Aeon, far more effectively than a string of numbers. A teacher monk explains that an eon can be likened to the great stone mountain Meru. Once every year a man passes the mountain and lightly brushed against it a strip of the finest silk. The mountain will be completely worn away by his action well before the aeon closes.

Its worth noting that the Buddhist philosophy does not tend to hold with the idea that a time of any great Universal significance will happen in our near future, every moment carries the same inherent problems and their solutions. The only significant events predicted or prophesised are the ending the vast epochs, or the extremely intermittent arising of new Buddha’s. There have been suggestions in relation to 2012, that the next Buddha will arise at this time in a rather Judeo-Christian end of days scenario. Unfortunately anyone educated in Buddhist lore will know that it is made clear that fully enlightened Buddha’s only arise millions of years apart. Buddhism is prophesised to completely disappear during the Kali Yuga, and that during that time it will be virtually impossible for seekers to find any opportunity for spiritual realisation at all by any system known now. Only when such utter darkness has shrouded the world will another being become fully realised wholly by their own efforts, without any guidance, and become the next Buddha, named Maitreya.

The most notable discussion on the Kali Yuga by Buddhist teachers actually refers to how lucky a being is to be born as a human in such a time. To quote the master wisdom teacher Pabongka Rimpoche, “Most important of all through this physical rebirth you are able to achieve the state of Vajradhara [unification of the illusory body and great bliss] within one short lifetime in this degenerate age; otherwise it would take thee countless great aeons to achieve. Thus this rebirth is worth more than one thousand billion precious jewels.”

21-12-2012 may close a cycle of time related to consciousness change within our species, after all the Mayans were highly focussed on biological and environmental cycles. It would make sense that they had tried to do the same with psychological and spiritual forces. This would be in accordance with the great Asiatic measures of Yuga and Kulpa, as they too relate to the evolution of human consciousness. This considerably shorter cycle of the Long Count would only relate to a significant change in thought process’s however, not to a sudden total self enlightenment of the human species in totality. Even if we take into account the entire Great Year of the Galactic Alignment (26,000 years max.) it is vastly less that the periods Asiatic teachers consider necessary for super-massive consciousness upgrades.

The talk of 2012 consciousness change is by needs somewhat vague, nobody knows for sure just what might happen. That said it is wise to perhaps disregard the position which suggests suddenly every person on Earth will automatically become fully enlightened spiritual beings, ready to embrace a world of spiritual concerns, peace and compassion. It is self evident that the last time a Great Year period ended we did not have this happen, nor in prior cycles. The fact is that we are still here and not fully self realised, so we know it does not tend to happen that way. Whether perhaps some certain persons were especially effected or did somehow ascend to a higher dimension remains possible, but as stated that’s not everyone on Earth.

If this cycle is important in regards to the evolution of consciousness then its more likely that the effect is far more subtle, either an evolutionary change in our neurological system, or perhaps a general refinement of the functioning of mental energies. The advantage given would perhaps make self realisation somewhat easier only because the tools, the technology of self development, gets upgraded. If you were a psychopath on 20-12-2012 it strikes me unlikely that even this cosmic-consciousness change will cause you to become a saint in under 24hrs.

In the start of the great thinker (oddball) Nietzsche’s book, ‘Thus Spake Zarathustra’, it is stated that ‘God is dead’. Actually this concept, if widely excepted, would make more of a change to our society then any evolutionary force imaginable to us. Currently the vast majority of the planet is operating under a system of belief that a Supreme being wrote or dictated a book of rules for them to live by, all open of course to a plethora of personal interpretation. Inclusive in these system are various promised punishments or rewards dependant on obedience to the set of rules given, the old carrot and the stick to move the donkey along routine.

This abhorrent position, as discussed here in an excellent related article, means that the vast majority of the planet is incapable of helping change the orientation of the species toward an optimum direction if it contradicts something in a book. In my own library here I have copies of many spiritual texts including those of the four major theistic traditions, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Hindusim. I have also many other books, plenty of them are extremely wise and have much to offer. If however I simply picked one and said I would only act if my actions were guided by that book that would doubtless lead to great problems.

Taking guidance from each book is only helpful up to a point, its my own mind and spirit that must be constant and able for the task of self realisation and environmental improvements. If before I can act I must consult a book, clearly there is something wrong with me, I should be able to do the optimum action immediately with no conscious thought whilst functioning at my optimum ability. Compassion should become my very nature at every moment and guide every action.

The best thing that could happen on 2012 might just be that people would put down their various books for a moment and take a long hard searching look within themselves. Before we rush headlong into a new period of economic and religious wars, we should surely pause for deep reflection. There are many questions I would want each to ask themselves first.

Do we really want a world split into two halves, one mainly poor, downtrodden and subverted by religious fanatics, and the other wealthy but ruthlessly controlled by New World Order dictators?

Wouldn’t our children be thankful to us for not having allowed that to happen?

Would the creative force that makes up the very fibre of all existence, that is the material of our core spirits, need to write an instruction manual for life, like some cheaply paid Ikea furniture manufacturer?

Most of the worlds great spiritual teachers have made it clear that every human has the ability to better themselves and raise themselves to the level we might call ‘saintly’. Yet each is also unique and will requires different focus, efforts, and forms of assistance from others. The only absolute equality and connection between each person is the actual energy of consciousness on which they run and from which they draw their ‘self existence’. To discover how they should then best proceed they should not ask someone else or read a certain text, first they should just try to take a period of reflection and get to grips with whom they are and what issues they need to work on.

This process means that if they then go for help or read advisory material, they can then refine from it the part useful to them in particular rather than being treated to a ‘one size fits all’ solution. That structure may work for cheap T-Shirt manufacturers, but seems woefully inefficient for the enlightenment of an eternal spiritual being constructed of pure consciousness energy.

When we allow books to instruct us in doing something wrong, perhaps even evil, we cant blame the books. If I subjugate a women or take someone as a slave I know it is wrong without picking a book up of my shelf. I don’t need to find a psalm or Sutra to know that killing and stealing are grossly unfair and cruel. Even the mundane ups and downs of my day are filled with actions that I am aware of being either optimal or substandard. I find it naïve to believe that whilst a mob stones someone to death for blasphemy or, rapes someone because they are seen as a lower caste, that the individuals are not all aware that they are in fact in the wrong. If a God were to state otherwise then it would have to be a wicked and evil entity, one to be exorcised by the might of our compassion. Whilst humans cut each other to ribbons or apply mind numbingly cruel tortures to one another, they speak about there adherence to the rules of some divine, loving and compassionate God. To me this is greatly unsettling, when we begin to call quite evil actions ‘good’, then we are in real trouble.

If I could wish for anything to happen on the 21-12-2012 it would simply be that everyone one of us for a moment dropped any external guiding principles from our minds, both religious and social rules. Then just sat quietly and analysed what it means to be alive, a human, compassionate, and a seeker of happiness. Before picking up any of the old ways they could first bring themselves up to speed and better understand these basic guiding forces. We are all here together in this great web we call life, we are all in human form, each of us desires happiness and all would be happier if everyone was compassionate.

Having realised that situation we could then observe that even when no other is doing an action that would be causing us harm, we can still lack lasting happiness. Finally there would be no ability to avoid the obvious cause of our fluctuating emotional states, that its all within us, not somewhere ‘out there’. From that point on self-realisation and enlightenment are observable phenomena just on the horizon of our self existence, finally.

“One of the most curious things in the structure of our psyche is that we all want to be told because we are the result of the propaganda of ten thousand years. We want to have our thinking confirmed and corroborated by another, whereas to ask a question is to ask it of yourself. What I say has very little value. You will forget it the moment you shut this book, or you will remember and repeat certain phrases, or you will compare what you have read here with some other book – but you will not face your own life. And that is all that matters – your life, yourself, your pettiness, your shallowness, your brutality, your violence, your greed, your ambition, your daily agony and endless sorrow – that is what you have to understand and nobody on earth or in heaven is going to save you from it but yourself.”

Ancient Voices Of Abya Yala

Re-Embracing The Indigenous Heart

A Vision Council Birthing The Conscious World

An unprecedented opportunity to become Earth & People shakers, to participate for 3 days in teachings and ceremony with World-renowned wisdom keepers from the lands of the Quetzal, the Eagle and the Condor

3rd to 5th May 2008

The Assembly Rooms, High Street, Glastonbury, UK

For more information, please e-mail

info@mayadreamtime2012.co.uk

This is an absolutely unique opportunity for the good folk of the UK and Europe to gather together and share in the wisdom of the Mayan peoples.

I do not make a habit of advertising events however this is with out doubt exceptional. It is unlikely that such an event will come to the Isle of Avalon again before 2012.

For those who do not know Glastonbury it is the ancient site of legendary Camelot and the original home of the Kolbrin book. Surrounded by ancient pagan mystical sites and an amazing convergence of natural energy pathways known as 'Ley Lines'.

I can not think of a more appropriate place in Europe for this fortuitous meeting of minds between these spiritually focused beings.

Please click on the picture below to visit the main site for the event and follow the instructions there for booking tickets.

Profits and Proceeds - Where is this Energy Going?

Since the conquistadores first landed in Abya Yala, resources have been taken from the people and the lands. This is continuing to this day with people making money from the ancient wisdom of the peoples of Abya Yala and giving nothing in return.

We are seeking to help to redress this balance by returning the profits made by this event to Indigenous projects in Abya Yala.

Initially we have decided to support the two organisations listed below, however others may be added to the list

La Caravana Arco Iris por La Paz

La Caravana Arcoiris por la Paz is a non-profit international social project whose volunteers work to support social development. It was founded in 1996 in Mexico, registered in Spain in the year 2000 and recognized by the consulates of Madrid, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, and Brasil. Through nine years of travel aboard their colorful buses in sixteen different latin american countries, La Caravana has mantained a firm promise to colaborate with the education of millions of people in the subjects of environmental preservation and the values that we inherit from the indigenous cultures of the continent. Appointed as focalisers for the various nomadic projects growing in the South, one of their main tasks was to call for bioregional and international gatherings, pow wows or Vision Councils, as a way to bring together local organizations with the wider spectrum of alternative movements in the world.

Mision Maya Wajshakib Batz

The goal of this school is to raise the awareness of children and youth in regard to the contents of Mayan Cosmovision, to create a place where children can come and learn about their noble ancestry for the purpose of generating these values and principles in the consciousness of future generations.
