THE AVEBURY MANOR 2012 CROP CIRCLE

2012-02-10T15:43:00-08:00

On July 15, 2008 a crop circle appeared adjacent to Avebury Manor, a National Trust property. It is located in Avebury, Wiltshire in southern England, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the home of some famous neolithic stone circles. The crop circle is a clear depiction of our solar system -- showing the alignment of the planets on approximately December 21, 2012. If you are of a skeptical bent, then you can double-check the alignment with an astronomy software program,...

A VISION FOR 2012 -- PART TWO

2012-01-27T14:09:48-08:00

I can hardly find fault with Petersen's vision of a post 2012 world. I mean, come on, who could object to a world that is safe, equitable, cooperative and sustainable? It's when he outlines his strategy for actually getting there that he loses me. While fully acknowledging the "political and bureaucratic roadblocks that are placed in the path of progress" he then outlines a number of requisite steps that, in my humble opinion, don't stand a snowball's chance in hell...

A VISION FOR 2012 -- PART ONE

2012-01-15T17:13:00-08:00

If you are not into the woo-woo aspects of 2012, then A Vision for 2012: Planning for Extraordinary Change might be just the book for you. Not only do you not have to contend with the Long Count Calendar, baktuns, and haabs, you won't even find the word Maya in it. Maybe that's because the book was written by professional futurist, John Petersen, who first appeared here in an earlier post on The Mystery of 2012. Petersen is the quintessential...

Y2K AND 2012

2012-01-01T16:27:00-08:00

All of the chatter around the Mayan 2012 phenomenon inevitably gives rise to comparisons with Y2K, the computer bug that was widely predicted to have catastrophic effects when the world's computers ticked over at midnight on December 31, 1999. Of course, as in all such comparisons, there are both similarities and differences. But 2012 skeptics will most likely gleefully jump on the comparison to point out that nothing much happened then, so, ipso facto, nothing much will occur on December...

AREA 51

2011-07-01T16:53:00-07:00

I recently returned from my annual van camping trip through southern Nevada and Utah that I mentioned in my last post. This year my trip included a brief visit to the notorious Area 51 (or at least the outermost fringes that are open to civilians like you and me) that is located along SR 375, Nevada's official Extraterrestrial Highway. Let me very quickly say that I neither saw, heard, experienced nor even intuited anything the least bit out of the...

VACATION HOLD II

2011-05-12T15:42:00-07:00

It's that time of year again when I take off for an extended van camping trip through parts of Nevada, Arizona and Southern Utah. Unfortunately I will have very little internet access so I won't be posting to the blog for a while. In the meantime, here are some pictures from the previous two trips:

WHAT ON EARTH -- PART TWO

2011-04-01T10:03:00-07:00

A number of interesting phenomena have been reported in the vicinity of the crop circles. Evidently they play havoc with the electronics in cameras, recorders, even in the instruments in aircraft flying directly overhead. The formations can also disrupt service to cell phones, but oddly enough they seem to resume working just fine if they are held outside the circle. There have been reports of spontaneous healings due to special frequencies found within circles (however, that's based on anecdotal evidence...

WHAT ON EARTH -- PART ONE

2011-03-15T18:10:00-07:00

In a previous post I mentioned Daniel Pinchbeck's comment regarding the connection between 2012 and the recent spate of crop circles around the world. I thought I would follow up on that in the next few posts by reviewing a recent video titled, What on Earth: Inside the Crop Circle Mystery by long-time crop circle researcher, Suzanne Taylor. The video's stunning images would be worth the price of admission alone but it provides much more than that. It features presentations,...

COSMIC VOYAGE -- PART THREE

2011-03-01T15:59:00-08:00

In this final post on Cosmic Voyage by Courtney Brown I want to briefly explore some miscellaneous points that I found of interest. For the most part Remote Viewing (RV) is a passive activity. The RVer merely goes to a target and reports back what they "see." However, in some cases they actually interact with entities that they may encounter during the session. This was the case in a number of Brown's sessions. For example, in a session focused on...

COSMIC VOYAGE -- PART TWO

2011-02-15T15:21:00-08:00

In the last post we looked at what Courtney Brown had to say about the Martians, in this one we will look at his take on the ubiquitous Greys. While most accounts of Greys portray them as drone-like and emotionless, there have been some reports in the literature of higher functioning, even wise and compassionate, Greys. So it should not come as a surprise that Brown discovered that there are three categories of Greys, which he terms primitive, advanced and...
