The Sun will be approaching the peak of its 11-year cycle, called "solar maximum", so we can expect a lot of solar activity. Some predictions put the solar maximum of Solar Cycle 24 even more energetic than the last solar maximum in 2002-2003 (remember all those record breaking X-class flares?). Solar physicists are already getting excited about this next cycle and new prediction methods are being put to good use. But should we be worried?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to one of the many Doomsday scenarios we have been presented with in the run-up to the Mayan Prophecy-fuelled "end of the world" in the year &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse,&lt;/span&gt; this scenario is actually based&lt;br /&gt;on some science. What's more, there may be some correlation between the 11-year solar cycle and the time cycles seen in the Mayan calendar, perhaps this ancient civilization understood how the Sun's magnetism undergoes polarity changes every decade or so? Plus, religious texts (such as the Bible) say that we are due for a day of judgement, involving a lot of fire and brimstone. So it looks like we are going to get roasted alive by our closest star on December 21st, 2012!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before we go jumping to conclusions, take a step back and think this through. Like most of the various ways the world is going to end in 2012, the possibility of the Sun blasting out a huge, Earth-damaging solar flare is very attractive to the doomsayers out there. But let's have a look at what really happens during an Earth-directed solar flare event, the Earth is actually very well protected. Although some satellites may not be…The Earth has evolved in a highly radioactive environment. The Sun constantly fires high-energy particles from its magnetically dominated surface as the solar wind. During solar maximum (when the Sun is at its most active), the Earth may be unlucky enough to be staring down the barrel of an explosion with the energy of 100 billion Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This explosion is known as a solar flare and the effects of which can cause problems here on Earth.Before we look at the Earth-side effects, let's have a look at the Sun and briefly understand why it gets so angry every 11 years or so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Solar Cycle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First and foremost, the Sun has a natural cycle with a period of approximately 11 years. During the lifetime of each cycle, the magnetic field lines of the Sun are dragged around the solar body by differential rotation at the solar equator. This means that the equator is spinning faster than the magnetic poles. As this continues, solar plasma drags the magnetic field lines around the Sun, causing stress and a build up of energy (an illustration of this is pictured). As magnetic energy&lt;br /&gt;increases, kinks in the magnetic flux form, forcing them to the surface. These kinks are known as coronal loops which become more numerous during periods of high solar activity. This is where the sunspots come in. As coronal loops continue to pop up over the surface, sunspots appear too, often located at the loop footpoints. Coronal loops have the effect of pushing the hotter surface layers of the Sun (the photosphere and chromosphere) aside, exposing the cooler convection zone (the reasons why the solar surface and atmosphere is hotter than the solar interior is down to the coronal heating phenomenon). As magnetic energy builds up, we can expect more and more magnetic flux to be forced together. This is when a phenomenon known as magnetic reconnection occurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reconnection is the trigger for solar flares of various sizes. As previously reported, solar flares from "nanoflares" to "X-class flares" are very energetic events. Granted, the largest flares my generate enough energy for 100 billion atomic explosions, but don't let this huge figure concern you. For a start, this flare occurs in the low corona, right near the solar surface. That's nearly 100 million miles away (1AU). The Earth is nowhere close to the blast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the solar magnetic field lines release a huge amount of energy, solar plasma is accelerated and confined within the magnetic environment (solar plasma is superheated particles like protons, electrons and some light elements such as helium nuclei). As the plasma particles interact, X-rays may be generated if the conditions are right and bremsstrahlung is possible. (Bremsstrahlung occurs when charged particles interact, resulting in X-ray emission.) This may create an X-ray flare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Problem with X-ray Solar Flares&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest problem with an X-ray flare is that we get little warning when it is going to happen as X-rays travel at the speed of light (one of the record breaking 2003 solar flares is pictured left). X-rays from an X-class flare will reach the Earth in around eight minutes. As X-rays hit our atmosphere, they are absorbed in the outermost layer called the ionosphere. As you can guess from the name, this is a highly charged, reactive environment, full of ions (atomic nuclei, and free electrons).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During powerful solar events such as flares, rates of ionization between X-rays and atmospheric gases increase in the D and E region layers of the ionosphere. There is a sudden surge in electron production in these layers. These electrons can cause interference to the passage of radio waves through the atmosphere, absorbing short wave radio signals (in the high frequency range), possibly blocking global communications. These events are known as "Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances" (or SIDs) and they become commonplace during periods of high solar activity. Interestingly, the increase in electron density during a SID boosts the propagation of Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio, a phenomenon scientists use to measure the intensity of X-rays coming from the Sun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coronal Mass Ejections?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;X-ray solar flare emissions are only part of the story. If the conditions are right, a coronal mass ejection (CME) might be produced at the site of the flare (although either phenomenon&lt;br /&gt;can occur independently). CMEs are slower than the propagation of X-rays, but their global effects here on Earth can be more problematic. They may not travel at the speed of light, but&lt;br /&gt;they still travel fast; they can travel at a rate of 2 million miles per hour (3.2 million km/hr), meaning they may reach us in a matter of hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is where much effort is being put into space weather prediction. We have a handful of spacecraft sitting between the Earth and the Sun at the Earth-Sun Lagrangian (L1) point with&lt;br /&gt;sensors on board to measure the energy and intensity of the solar wind. Should a CME pass through their location, energetic particles and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) can be&lt;br /&gt;measured directly. One mission called the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) sits in the L1 point and provides scientists with up to an hour notice on the approach of a CME. ACE teams&lt;br /&gt;up with the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and the Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO), so CMEs can be tracked from the lower corona into interplanetary space, through the L1 point toward Earth. These solar missions are actively working together to provide space agencies with advanced notice of an Earth-directed CME.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what if a CME reaches Earth? For a start, much depends on the magnetic configuration of the IMF (from the Sun) and the geomagnetic field of the Earth (the magnetosphere). Generally&lt;br /&gt;speaking, if both magnetic fields are aligned with polarities pointing in the same direction, it is highly probable that the CME will be repelled by the magnetosphere. In this case, the CME will slide past the Earth, causing some pressure and distortion on the magnetosphere, but otherwise passing without a problem. However, if the magnetic field lines are in an anti-parallel configuration (i.e. magnetic polarities in opposite directions), magnetic reconnection may occur at the leading edge of the magnetosphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this event, the IMF and magnetosphere will merge, connecting the Earth's magnetic field with the Sun's. This sets the scene for one of the most awe inspiring events in nature: the aurora.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Satellites in Peril&lt;br /&gt;As the CME magnetic field connects with the Earth's, high energy particles are injected into the magnetosphere. Due to solar wind pressure, the Sun's magnetic field lines will fold around the Earth, sweeping behind our planet. The particles injected in the "dayside" will be funnelled into the polar regions of the Earth where they interact with our atmosphere, generating light as aurorae. During this time, the Van Allen belt will also become "super-charged", creating a region around the Earth that could cause problems to unprotected astronauts and any unshielded satellites. For more on the damage that can be caused to astronauts and spacecraft, check out "Radiation Sickness, Cellular Damage and Increased Cancer Risk for Long-term Missions to Mars" and "New Transistor Could Side-Step Space Radiation Problem."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if the radiation from the Van Allen belt wasn't enough,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;satellites could succumb to the threat of an expanding&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;atmosphere. As you'd expect, as if the Sun hits the Earth with&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;X-rays and CMEs, there will be inevitable heating and global&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;expansion of the atmosphere, possibly encroaching into&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;satellite orbital altitudes. If left unchecked, an aerobraking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;effect on satellites could cause them to slow and drop in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;altitude. Aerobraking has been used extensively as a space&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;flight tool to slow spacecraft down when being inserted into&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;orbit around another planet, but this will have an adverse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;effect on satellites orbiting Earth as any slowing of velocity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;could cause it to re-enter the atmosphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We Feel the Effects on the Ground Too&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although satellites are on the front line, if there is a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;powerful surge in energetic particles entering the atmosphere,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we may feel the adverse effects down here on Earth too. Due to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the X-ray generation of electrons in the ionosphere, some forms&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of communication may become patchy (or be removed all&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;together), but this isn't all that can happen. Particularly in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;high-latitude regions, a vast electric current, known as an&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"electrojet", may form through the ionosphere by these incoming&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;particles. With an electric current comes a magnetic field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending on the intensity of the solar storm, currents may be&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;induced down here on the ground, possibly overloading national&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;power grids. On March 13th 1989, six million people lost power&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in the Quebec region of Canada after a huge increase in solar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;activity caused a surge from ground-induced currents. Quebec&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;was paralysed for nine hours whilst engineers worked on a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;solution to the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can Our Sun Produce a Killer Flare?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The short answer to this is "no".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The longer answer is a little more involved. Whilst a solar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;flare from out Sun, aimed directly at us, could cause secondary&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;problems such as satellite damage and injury to unprotected&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;astronauts and blackouts, the flare itself is not powerful&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;enough to destroy Earth, certainly not in 2012. I dare say, in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the far future when the Sun begins to run out of fuel and swell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;into a red giant, it might be a bad era for life on Earth, but&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we have a few billion years to wait for that to happen. There&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;could even be the possibility of several X-class flares being&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;launched and by pure bad luck we may get hit by a series of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CMEs and X-ray bursts, but none will be powerful to overcome&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;our magnetosphere, ionosphere and thick atmosphere below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Killer" solar flares have been observed on other stars. In&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2006, NASA's Swift observatory saw the largest stellar flare&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ever observed 135 light-years away. Estimated to have unleashed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;an energy of 50 million trillion atomic bombs, the II Pegasi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;flare will have wiped out most life on Earth if our Sun fired&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;X-rays from a flare of that energy at us. However, our Sun is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;not II Pegasi. II Pegasi is a violent red giant star with a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;binary partner in a very close orbit. It is believed the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;gravitational interaction with its binary partner and the fact&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;II Pegasi is a red giant is the root cause behind this&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;energetic flare event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doomsayers point to the Sun as a possible Earth-killer source,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but the fact remains that our Sun is a very stable star. It&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;does not have a binary partner (like II Pegasi), it has a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;predictable cycle (of approximately 11 years) and there is no&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;evidence that our Sun contributed to any mass extinction event&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in the past via a huge Earth-directed flare. Very large solar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;flares have been observed (such as the 1859 Carrington white&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;light flare)… but we are still here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an added twist, solar physicists are surprised by the lack&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of solar activity at the start of this 24th solar cycle,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;leading to some scientists to speculate we might be on the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;verge of another Maunder minimum and "Little Ice Age". This is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in stark contrast to NASA solar physicist's 2006 prediction&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that this cycle will be a "doozy".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This leads me to conclude that we still have a long way to go&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when predicting solar flare events. Although space weather&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;prediction is improving, it will be a few years yet until we&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;can read the Sun accurately enough to say with any certainty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;just how active a solar cycle is going to be. So, regardless of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;prophecy, prediction or myth, there is no physical way to say&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that the Earth will be hit by any flare, let alone a big one in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2012. Even if a big flare did hit us, it will not be an&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;extinction event. Yes, satellites may be damaged, causing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;secondary problems such as a GPS loss (which might disrupt air&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;traffic control for example) or national power grids may be&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;overwhelmed by auroral electrojets, but nothing more extreme&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;than that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But hold on, to sidestep this issue, doomsayers now tell us&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that a large solar flare will hit us just as the Earth's&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;geomagnetic field weakens and reverses, leaving us unprotected&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;from the ravages of a CME… The reasons why this is not going to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;happen in 2012 is worthy of its own article. So, look out for&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the next 2012 article "2012: No Geomagnetic Reversal".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-8590408734572903752?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/8590408734572903752/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=8590408734572903752' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/8590408734572903752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/8590408734572903752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-no-killer-solar-flare-written-by.html' title='2012 Apocalypse : No Killer Solar Flare'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SqfT2ILZp_E/TvXzXM9ZG1I/AAAAAAAAC5Q/sZmC_Rd8ICI/s72-c/killer%2Bsolar%2Bflare.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-7171111405693502791</id><published>2011-12-07T07:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-09T16:27:30.149-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>2012 Shift In Human Consciousness</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9achu0-mI/AAAAAAAAAA8/AIN82Dm0Sqk/s1600-h/consciousness2012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9achu0-mI/AAAAAAAAAA8/AIN82Dm0Sqk/s320/consciousness2012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228497138538052194" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 The Shift in Human Consciousness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Sol Luckman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you aware that a Shift in human consciousness is occurring even as you read these words that employs celestial triggers such as supernovas and Earth's alignment with Galactic Center in the years leading up to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;  to trigger the evolution of our species? This Shift has been documented in a stimulating multimedia presentation entitled “Preparing for the Shift,” by Barry and Janae Weinhold, Ph.D.s. Over decades devoted to the study of consciousness and evolution, the Weinholds, both trained psychologists, have gathered overwhelming evidence that humanity is in the middle of a long-awaited Shift in consciousness predicted in hundreds of indigenous cultures worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today this Shift is visible nearly every time you open a newspaper or turn on the TV. It can be seen in the breakdown of many old structures such as those that underpin governments, churches and corporations, as well as in families and individuals. It is also evident in the ecological breakdown of numerous Earth systems, a widespread perception time is accelerating, drastic changes in weather patterns, more people feeling overwhelmed by modern life's complexity, and increased polarization between groups, religions, and regions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, along with signs of breakdown, the Weinholds emphasize there is also considerable evidence of breakthrough: the appearance of stunningly gifted children in unprecedented numbers, the emergence of innovative and integrated healing modalities, people becoming less “religious” and more “spiritual,” and the dawning of new communities and social structures based on servant leadership and other partnership principles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The significance of the winter solstice on December 21, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;, the expected apocalypse according to the Mayan, Aztec, Incan and Hopi traditions, is that this date marks the close of several cycles of time. The first is the end of the 26,000-year Mayan calendar, also called a “precession” and the Annus Magnus (“Great Year”), considered by many a gestational or birth cycle for Earth. Mayan timekeepers believe that human evolution unfolds as a result of such precisely calibrated master cycles of time. They predict that Earth and humanity are about to be birthed into a new reality based on unity predicated on a dramatic advance in consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From a Mayan perspective, the Weinholds ask, “What began 26,000 years ago?” Their extensive psychohistorical research indicates this marked the beginning of humanity's psychological individuation. In human terms, becoming “individuated” means moving from being unconsciously united with the Creator or Ground of Being, to choosing to become divided from the Creator and developing separate individual consciousness, to finally returning to the Creator as conscious, aware individuals. Once people fully individuate, it becomes possible for them to make empowered, discerning choices and use intention to co-create reality with Source–or perhaps more accurately, to create reality as Source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second cycle of time ending in 2012 apocalypse  highlighted in “Preparing for the Shift” is the close of the Galactic Year. It takes 225 million Earth years for the Milky Way Galaxy to make one complete rotation in the sky, which is believed to be a birth cycle for our galaxy. From a galactic perspective, the Weinholds ask, “What was conceived on Earth 225 million years ago?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They point out this was when Earth's landmass, Pangaea, began separating into what we now know as the seven continents. This process of planetary individuation not only correlates with continental drift theory; my research indicates there is also an energetic correspondence between Earth's twelve tectonic plates responsible for continental drift and the twelve pairs of cranial nerves in the human brain, which are themselves linked to the biblical Twelve Tribes. Considered together, this evidence suggests that Earth, like humans, has undergone her own “separating out” or individuation. Based on such interconnectedness, it is also reasonable to expect that as human consciousness exponentially increases, Earth will also undergo a significant–and observable–transformation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Astronomers studying Galactic Center report that it periodically becomes extremely active. During these episodes, it spews out fierce barrages of cosmic energy equal to thousands of supernova explosions. These outbursts are the most energetic phenomenon in the known universe. A growing number of researchers such as Sergey Smelyakov, author of a fascinating paper entitled “The Auric Time Scale and the Mayan Factor,” in addition to many indigenous peoples worldwide, theorize that as Galactic Center becomes more energized, it catalyzes human evolution through frequency emissions in the form of higher-dimensional “torsion” waves transmitted to Earth via the sun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A comprehensive scientific model for the “Energetic Engine of Evolution” has been proposed by David Wilcock, a highly gifted psychic and speculative scientist whose theory of “Evolution as 'Intelligent Design'” deserves summarizing. Citing the work of a vanguard of researchers, Wilcock presents a model that unites many disciplines and provides several critical missing pieces to the evolutionary puzzle. In his own words, this provocative model “suggests that humanity is on the verge of a near-spontaneous metamorphosis into a more highly evolved state of consciousness.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basing his analysis on the realization, embraced by more and more of today's scientists, that Darwinian evolutionary theory is “extinct,” Wilcock observes that the “probabilities that DNA could evolve by 'random mutation' are so minute as to be utterly laughable–akin to the idea that if you have enough monkeys tapping away on typewriters, one of them will eventually produce a complete Shakespearean play.” Far surpassing the reach of gradual, incremental evolution, which certainly occurs as environmental adaptation, the fossil record from all over the planet makes it abundantly clear that species regularly evolve in heretofore inexplicable leaps and bounds, skipping what would seem from a Darwinian perspective to be crucial evolutionary phases. At the top of a long list of species whose evolution has baffled science is the human species.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although for more than a century a “missing link” has been assumed to exist based on largely unchallenged Darwinian presumptions, scientists have never managed to discover it. “When we consider that the size of the brain literally doubled between that of humanity's apparent ancestors and ourselves, with no evidence of a smooth transformation whatsoever,” writes Wilcock, “once again we see a spontaneous evolution of the creatures on Earth.” One scientist associated with National Geographic, studying the intricate bone carvings dating to 70,000 B.C.E. found at Blombos Cave in South Africa, concluded that behavioral evolution mirrors anatomical development–an important observation meaning, in Wilcock’s words, that “spontaneous evolution is not simply physiological, but consciousness-related as well. When a new bodily form has emerged, consciousness changes appear to occur.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, as indicated by the Mayan calendar, rather than in fits and starts, such evolutionary fast-forwards of physiology and consciousness happen in organized, predictable cycles. Theorizing a “harmonic relationship” between the 26,000-year Mayan calendar and 26-million-year period between extinctions/evolutionary leaps in the fossil record, Wilcock notes that all Earth species have suddenly evolved, or metamorphosed, every 26 million years, making a strong case for “an outside energetic influence that operates in a regular, cyclic fashion.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To answer the question what outside energetic influence is responsible for these rhythmic evolutionary revolutions, it is necessary to factor in the concept of torsion energy or universal creative consciousness. Some writers, most notably Barbara Hand Clow, have focused attention on something called the Photon Belt or Photon Band, which can be envisioned as a torsion-wave “light lattice” connecting Earth via our sun to Galactic Center that serves as a guiding data communication network for human and planetary evolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While some astronomers have scoffed at the notion of a Photon Band, other scientists who grasp the higher-dimensional nature of this network's light understand that it not only exists but plays a critical role in cosmic evolution. Wilcock's research indicates that something very much like a Photon Band most definitely exists as lines of higher-dimensional torsion radiation emanating from Galactic Center. Both Wilcock and Clow envision the Photon Band as tracing figure-eights throughout the spiraling pattern of the Milky Way Galaxy (see figure below). It appears from Dr. Nikolai Kozyrev's research involving aether that such looping “zero point” or torsion energy based on the phi ratio (1.6180339) is, among other things, directly responsible for our cyclical experience of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Book One on the Regenetics Method, Conscious Healing: The Photon Band &amp;amp; Black Road. It takes 225 million Earth years for the Milky Way Galaxy to make one complete rotation through the Photon Band, which is believed to be a birth cycle for our galaxy. The Black Road, a Mesoamerican phrase for a type of wormhole, can be conceptualized as simultaneously an astrophysical and genetic alignment with Galactic Center that engenders a Shift in consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recalling the aether theories of Kozyrev, fellow Russian scientist Sergey Smelyakov's research demonstrates that the harmonic vibrations of phi, also referred to as the Golden Mean and Fibonacci sequence, inform the very fabric of space-time. Mathematically, the Photon Band appears to be structured on phi, producing set cosmic intervals the Mayans were aware of when constructing their uncannily accurate calendar. Smelyakov's “The Auric Time Scale and the Mayan Factor” compellingly suggests that Earth connects to Galactic Center via our solar system in a harmonic fashion he calls “Solar-planetary Synchronism,” a vibratory relationship based on the Golden Mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an article entitled “The Ultimate Secret of the Mayan Calendar,” Wilcock cites Smelyakov's research, writing that it helps explain the end of the Mayan calendar in geometric terms as an “infinitely-converging end point” in which time appears to “collapse.” This is because time as we experience it follows the imploding spirals of phi much like a finger tracing the cyclical involutions of a conch shell to its centerpoint. History, then, does not exactly repeat itself; it is more like climbing a spiral staircase. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Torsion energy spiraling as the Photon Band from the creative consciousness at the Core of our universe is Wilcock's “Energetic Engine of Evolution.” Because of its curvilinear form, the Photon Band is composed of swaths of lesser and greater density of torsion waves manifesting as higher-dimensional light. As our solar system orbits episodically into galactic regions characterized by greater density of torsion waves (i.e., greater light or consciousness), which it is currently doing, life on our planet, including the living organism that is Earth, is intelligently stimulated to evolve in spectacular ways not only physically but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“By combining the effects of geo-cosmic change with the overall flourishing of humanity in the cultural and spiritual sense,” observes Wilcock, “we see that as the cycle continues to exponentially accelerate its energetic rate of vibration into the 2012-2013 'singularity,' we can expect … rapid increases in human awareness.” This centripetal cycle leads inexorably to a “discontinuous mega-event where 'time and space collapse.'” Perhaps this transformation of our experience of time and space is the truth behind the disjointed description of the “end of days” in the Book of Revelation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In humans, evolutionary activation occurs as torsion waves stimulate transposons or “jumping DNA” to rewrite the genetic code–a phenomenon supported by a considerable amount of scientific evidence. Bruce Lipton's research unambiguously affirms that cells possess the ability to reprogram their own DNA, with measurable physical results such as otherwise inexplicable dietary modifications in organisms, when environmentally prompted. Dr. Lipton hypothesizes that such rewriting, which is typically beneficial, accounts for up to ninety-eight percent of evolutionary transformation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similarly, in a concise but excellent study entitled “Retrotransposons as Engines of Human Bodily Transformation,” biochemist Colm Kelleher addresses the subject of radical genetic adaptation or evolution as a result of what he terms a “transposition burst.” “If one were to hypothesize a transmutation of the human body,” writes Dr. Kelleher, it would be necessary to orchestrate a change, cell by cell, involving the simultaneous silencing of hundreds of genes and the activation of a different set of hundreds more. A transposition burst is a plausible mechanism at the DNA/RNA level that could accomplish such a genome wide change. Transposition bursts comprise the concerted movement of multiple mobile DNA elements from different genetic locations to new positions, sometimes on different chromosomes … Human DNA contains an abundance of the necessary genetic structures to accomplish a transposition burst involving hundreds, or even thousands, of genes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Referencing a particular DNA sequence containing three different transposon families arranged in beadlike formation, Kelleher theorizes that owing to its tripartite configuration, this DNA sequence would be “an effective participant in large scale transposon mediated genetic change that eventually results in transformation of the human body.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the most undeniable evidence supporting the concept of a torsion life-wave or Photon Band of universal creative consciousness energetically directing the spontaneous formation and development of Earth species comes from Tim Harwood, who calls attention to one of nature's more miraculous phenomena. After caterpillars form their chrysalis during metamorphosis, it is a little-known but very relevant fact that they completely dissolve into a soup of amino acids before reassembling into butterflies. This soup contains no recognizable cells or DNA as it is currently understood, but when the time is right, the torsion life-wave signals the DNA to recombine and, within a matter of days, cells emerge to create new life-forms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wilcock concludes that the human species, somewhat like caterpillars entering metamorphosis, is currently “being programmed by the galactic center to become more advanced while … still here in our bodies.” This is made possible because the DNA molecule is like a programmable piece of hardware … so that if you change the energy wave that moves through it, the jumping DNA will encode it into a completely different form. It is therefore possible that as we move into increasingly “intelligent” zones of energy in the galaxy, the DNA energy patterns for the creatures on the planet are all upgraded, and the mutations occur so rapidly–well within one lifetime–that no “transitional” fossils exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earth's movement through a denser area of the Photon Band directly aligned with Galactic Center began around the time of the so-called Harmonic Convergence in 1987, will enter into a historical astronomical alignment around 2012 apocalypse , and will be complete (from our present linear perspective) by about 2016. Over the course of the past two decades, as Wilcock and the Weinholds point out, major Earth, planetary and solar changes–from unprecedented alterations in planetary atmospheres to drastic surges in volcanic and earthquake activity–have been observed. Arguably of greatest significance from our perspective is that the sun is now moving into alignment with Galactic Center. During this transit the sun's magnetic field has increased over 230% and there have been wildly elevated levels of sunspot activity (as reported by NASA and other space agencies) that have transmitted record-breaking waves of electromagnetic (to say nothing of torsion) energy to Earth and, thus, to us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is worth noting we are composed of the same substances found in the heavens, so it really is not so odd that celestial events should profoundly impact us. Harvard professor of astronomy Robert Kirshner has remarked that “supernovas created the elements we take for granted–the oxygen we breathe, the calcium in our bones, and the iron in our blood are products of the stars.” Other researchers, observing that most of DNA's amino acids are also found in space, have hypothesized that DNA actually came from space–an increasingly popular theory known as “Panspermia.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fascinatingly, Fritz Albert Popp's research in biophotons describes the dying process of cells as virtually identical to that of stars. Just before dying, cells transform into “supernovas” as the light they emit increases in intensity a thousand times before being suddenly extinguished. On a related note, and just as extraordinarily, Galactic Center, our point of origin, is located in the constellation Ophiuchus, “the serpent bearer,” an obvious reference to the spiraling, serpentine helixes of DNA. Here, in ancient symbolism, we find a direct link between the creational torsion waves emitted by Galactic Center and the DNA molecule to which, by all indications, they give rise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Vedics were well aware of such an “ener-genetic” connection between Galactic Center and DNA as well as of the many cycles of time ending around &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;, employing the term somvarta to describe the intelligent waves of Core energy responsible for the spontaneous evolution of species. Another ancient concept, the Golden Mean, precisely defines the mathematical relationship between “above” and “below.” The DNA molecule is minutely structured on phi or the Golden Mean, measuring 34 x 21 angstroms for each full helical spiral. Concordantly, the average mean orbit of each of the planets moving away from the sun is also a Fibonacci sequence that translates to almost exactly 1.6180339.&lt;br /&gt;Shift in human consciousness as the excess of the&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;a href="http://alara.zaadz.com/blog/2007/10/the_shift_in_human_consciousness"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-7171111405693502791?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/7171111405693502791/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=7171111405693502791' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/7171111405693502791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/7171111405693502791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-shift-in-human-consciousness.html' title='2012 Shift In Human Consciousness'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9achu0-mI/AAAAAAAAAA8/AIN82Dm0Sqk/s72-c/consciousness2012.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-6439760561749676019</id><published>2011-10-26T18:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T18:39:20.381-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>A Pleiadian Message from James Gilliland re 2012</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;A Pleiadian Message from James Gilliland Re 2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Apocalypse 2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;You Are Going To See Great Changes Between Now And November 2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There have been many meetings; which were multidimensional in nature in a consortium of advanced beings addressing the disturbance in the force called Earth. There is a unified field in which we all reside and express and Earth due to its millions of souls crying out for justice, the end of tyranny and deception has been addressed. There are councils and consortiums all discussing this matter. In ancient times the last major colonies, Atlantis and Mu or Lemuria were Pleiadian in origin. If you talk with Native American Elders, South American Elders, Indonesian Elders, Hawaiian Elders and many others they all mention the Pleiades as their ancient origins. Pleiadians have the greatest genetic stock or investment in Gaia not just human but plant and animal. They were the teraformers from long ago. There were otherStar Nations that have come and gone to join in on this experiment some of which were lesser souls who hijacked the experiment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are also unseen entities often referred to as Archons who also played a role in hijacking and derailing the evolution of Humanity and the Earth. These are low 4th density beings referred to as many names. Not just this galaxy but other galaxies have been dealing with these seen and unseen negative influences. The Elite call upon these influences in their rituals for power over others yet in doing so have lost their souls and have become possessed by these entities. What we are not aware of is these unseen negative influences are being cleaned up as above so below. The very gridand power base the global elite depend upon is diminishing and collapsing. Gods work in ways unseen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now before you ask why is God plural did you know Elohim is plural and the correct translation of Genesis is, "In the beginning the Father of all Fathers created the Gods who created the heavens and the Earth." The correct understanding is God is neither male nor female in its most unlimited understanding it is a frequency and a force, divine intelligence; which is omnipresent on all planes and dimensions throughout the multiverse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The image of the bearded male God came from the Annunaki, those who came to Earth from Heaven of the skies, technologically advanced God like beings. Some were benevolent serving the Creator in all Creation others were malevolent self-serving which is where the divisions of religion often occur. In the most ancient understandings God was female, the center of this galaxy is the black hole from which everything emerged, all life is related and family. This is more aligned with the creation process and what scientists call the big bang which was a lot of bangs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The many male images of God separate from Humanity and the Earth, diminishing and suppressing the feminine along with unseen negative influences have created the severe imbalances and misdirection of evolution.This is in the process of being corrected. All of the councils andconsortiums to the highest level have agreed that the Pleiadians have the most human and genetic stock as well as a responsibility to correct this imbalance and redirect Humanity's and the Earth's evolution back on its original course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a multi-dimensional effort from the highest levels including the source itself to correct and redirect. The Andromedans, Sirians, Arcturians, Orion Council of Light, Pleiadians, and a host of others too numerous to mention have dealt with the controllers on high and are now dealing with them on Earth. How we are going to see it on this level often depends on how entrenched we are in the negative system and how far away we are from living in harmony with each other and the Earth. The Pleiadians saywe are here to release the past, healing is coming to the Earth. They are doing it spiritually and energetically all the way down to the physical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The consciousness and energy grids of tyranny and separation are coming to a close. The negative support systems for the elite who have chosen to invoke and work with unseen negative influences is also coming to an end.What once was hidden shall be revealed for all to see and once seen the masses will be quick to awaken and act due to the increased awakening and healing energies coming to the Earth. Your ancient ancestors are returning,they are benevolent and are here to set a new course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wars, disease, unbridled greed and profit at the expense of humanity and the Earth are also coming to a close along with the war and disease profiteers. They are being exposed on every front. This does not mean they will go quietly which would be in their highest and best good. Itmeans they will go, they have no choice neither Earth or the Universe support their reality. Direct knowing, telepathy, sensitivity to vibration will isolate them from the awakening masses who will no longer participate with their agendas. Because they have no respect for humanity, nature and the body of Earth their own bodies will fail. No drug, machine, or negative influence will keep them erect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are going to see great changes between now and November 2011, time to create a new world, one which lives in harmony with all the facets of humanity and nature. The old world is fast diminishing in a time compression spoken of in the Mayan Calendar. Yet that same quickening will support the manifestation of a new world of peace and prosperity for all.Unity consciousness is the future. Ride the wave. Release the past and trust in the future as well as the God within to guide your journey. Do not participate in the old world or act in any way that is harmful to humanity and the Earth. The future of Earth is set, how you choose to flow with this future or against it is up to you. Your choices will determine your tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Permission to pass and share far and wide;James Gilliland&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Apocalypse 2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-galactic-alignment.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-galactic-alignment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-6439760561749676019?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/6439760561749676019/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=6439760561749676019' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/6439760561749676019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/6439760561749676019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2011/10/pleiadian-message-from-james-gilliland.html' title='A Pleiadian Message from James Gilliland re 2012'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-3156836213946573057</id><published>2011-10-23T07:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T18:34:39.158-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>2012 Galactic Alignment</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9X3OAsV1I/AAAAAAAAAAs/8p9Lvcm-YLY/s1600-h/galaxy_2012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 188px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9X3OAsV1I/AAAAAAAAAAs/8p9Lvcm-YLY/s320/galaxy_2012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228494298565859154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse Caused by Galactic Alignment ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the key pieces of information discussed with reference to the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; 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 &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;  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’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The basis of the 2012 alignment as discussed comes from a synergy of several astronomical phenomena and events. 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This image was created by Prof. Andrea Ghez and her research team at UCLA and are from data sets obtained with the W. M. Keck Telescopes. 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! &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-3156836213946573057?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/3156836213946573057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=3156836213946573057' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/3156836213946573057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/3156836213946573057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-galactic-alignment.html' title='2012 Galactic Alignment'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9X3OAsV1I/AAAAAAAAAAs/8p9Lvcm-YLY/s72-c/galaxy_2012.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-7492526263188525805</id><published>2011-09-21T07:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-22T00:04:06.214-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>2012 Apocalypse Theories</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zUHMXGqIo0Y/TnrdH25hpcI/AAAAAAAACnM/fFuM-w2wps0/s1600/2012%2Bapocalypse%2Btheories.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 127px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zUHMXGqIo0Y/TnrdH25hpcI/AAAAAAAACnM/fFuM-w2wps0/s200/2012%2Bapocalypse%2Btheories.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655075409182696898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2012 Apocalypse Theories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was wondering how many theories i could find that pointed to or involved the year &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; , then i went and looked up the subject of doomsday 2012 prophecy or predictions of enlightenment 2012. The following is what i came up with but i am certain that if i put more time into it i would find several more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some interpreters believe this to be a transition time where consciousness will evolve while others interpret Bakt'un 13 to be the end of physical existence. Most likely it's a little of both and a lot of neither.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December 21, 2012 the expected &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;, like any other December 21 is the day of the winter solstice. Astronomers have calculated the peak time of this one to be 11:11 which adds much fuel to the interpreters of prophecy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no denying that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; and the years surrounding 2012 are bringing the Earth and Sun in a direct alignment with the core of the Milky Way galaxy and there is no denying that this is an event that occurs only once every 26000 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another event which is undeniable is the Venus Transit which will happen on June 6, 2012. This event involves an alignment of Earth, Venus, and the Sun and occurs twice in 8 years but once the paired event passes ith doesn't reoccur for a few centuries. The first of the pair was in 2004. Now one could just imagine how this would effect the psyche if we were seeing this on June 6, 2112...that's definitely a 666 concept that would certainly give fuel to a few cults.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those are concrete and measurable predicted events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the main themes for &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; prophecy i found is the end date of the Mayan Calendar or Bakt'un 13. In a full cycle of the long count cosmic calendar there are 5125 years. Most scholars set the start date at 3113 BC and the end date at 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The number 26000 is a recurring theme also. The Fifth World prophecy of the meso american Aztecs is about five eras that end in mass destruction and rebirth. Each era lasts 5125 years. This is close to 26000 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The precession of the equinox is an association between the north pole and zodiac constellations that lasts 26000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is the Hopi Kachina Blue Star prophecy that may involve the 26000 year galactic alignment cycle or some comets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is the Sumarian Nibiru or planet X prophecy that states that a dual sun makes an appearance inside the orbits of the common planets every 3600 hundred years or so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is the Seven Fire Prophecy of the Anishinabe which predicts a return to the harmonic ways of the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are the Bible prophecies of revelation that predict the rise of an antichrist who tricks mankind into believing that he is the one sent to save them from themselves and leads them into utter despair and of a physical/metaphysical war that presents itself through the decoding of sealed prophecies. Strangely enough this evil trickster is represented as Lord Tzecatlipoca in the Fifth Sun Prophecy as the sorcerer with the Smoking Mirrors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are the Hindu Brahman prophecies of the Divya Yuga cycle of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that is just the beginning, it seems that every culture and religion in history has had it's prophets, shaman, high-priests or priestesses able to tap into the psychic realm to see through time at an age of total physical destruction transitioning humanity into a new evoluted form of spiritual enlightenment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2011/08/maya-katun-prophecies.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-apocalypse: maya-katun-prophecies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-7492526263188525805?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/7492526263188525805/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=7492526263188525805' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/7492526263188525805'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/7492526263188525805'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-theories.html' title='2012 Apocalypse Theories'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zUHMXGqIo0Y/TnrdH25hpcI/AAAAAAAACnM/fFuM-w2wps0/s72-c/2012%2Bapocalypse%2Btheories.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-8098495230933264950</id><published>2011-08-30T15:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-30T15:27:00.331-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>The Maya Katun Prophecies</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Maya Katun Prophecies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The term "Mayan Calendar" fairly often these days. It's usually in association with its "end date," or maybe linked with some sort of prophecy put forth by modern "would-be" prophets of both Native American and Anglo heritage. There are many believers in the Mayan Calendar. They are very sure that it is a way of reckoning where we, as humans on planet earth, are at right now.&lt;br /&gt;The astrology of ancient Mesoamerica has been a passion of mine for many years. Mesoamerican astrology is uniquely time-based and consists of symbolic time-periods grouped symmetrically in fours, fives, nines, thirteens, and twenties. Such calendar-like groupings are a kind of astrology, a truly Native American astrology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is popularly known as the Mayan Calendar is what archaeologists, anthropologists, and archaeoastronomers call the Long Count. The Long Count is a large segment of time (1/5 of the 26,000-year cycle of the precession of the equinoxes) with a definite starting and ending point. The period began on August 11, 3114 BC and it ends on December 21, 2012. The Long Count, a span of 5,125 years, was further divided by the ancient Maya into 13ths, 20ths, and 260ths. The 13th parts (394 years) were called baktuns. The 260th parts (19.7 years) were called katuns. The 20ths of the Long Count were groups of 13 katuns (256 years) sometimes referred to as the "short count." This later grouping had a long prophetic tradition and it is the main topic of this article. (1)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 256-year cycle of thirteen katuns, the "short count," was clearly a Mayan prophecy cycle. Each of the 13 katuns has a specific "fate" attached to it and the Maya believed that the occurrence, or arrival, of each katun brought with it this fate. We know this from surviving records, including the various books of "Chilam Balam" (jaguar priest) that were written after the Spanish conquest of Yucatan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The manner of distinguishing these thirteen katuns from each other is complex and requires an understanding of the tzolkin/Tonalpouhalli. But for now let's just say that the name of each katun in the 256-year cycle is taken from the day on which it ends, or, from the perspective of the Maya, the day it reaches completion. It turns out that each of the thirteen katuns in the cycle is indicated by a number and the name Ahau, this being the day of the 260-day astrological calendar on which the last day of the katun falls.(2)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The katuns did not follow each other in numerical order. Any given katun in the cycle was always followed by a katun that was numbered two less. For example, katun 10-Ahau was followed by Katun 8-Ahau. The katun from which the cycle was said to begin was katun 11-Ahau. (3)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Essentially, the cycle of thirteen katuns was for the Maya a kind of mundane astrology, not an astrology of the individual, but of the society and its history. In the several books of Chilam Balam, the influences of the thirteen katuns are stated, usually as a description of historical events that occurred during previous cycles. It becomes clear to the reader, however, that the Maya always expected history to repeat itself and it is also obvious that the ancient Maya were not very optimistic about their fate. Most of these "fates" are negative, but then this may have been was how life was for them. The delineations below are a composite taken from the Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel and the Codex Perez and the Book of Chilam Balam of Mani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 11-Ahau: Apparently food is scarce during this katun and invading foreigners arrive and disperse the population. There is an end to traditional rule, there are no successors. Since this is the first katun it always opens up a new era. It was during the span of this katun that the Spanish began their takeover of Yucatan and imposed Christianity on the natives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 9-Ahau: This is a period of bad government where the ruler abuses his people and commits misdeeds. Rulers are so bad that they wind up losing some of their power to the priests. Carnal sin and adultery are practiced openly, by rulers and others, and it is also a time of wars. It is the katun of the "forcible withdrawal of the hand," a phrase the meaning of which is unclear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 7-Ahau: This is apparently a time of social excess including drinking and adultery, a low point in the history of the society. Governments stoop to their lowest. The "bud of the flower," an allusion to eroticism, is said to sprout during this katun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 5-Ahau: During this katun of misfortune, rulers and their subjects separate -- the people lose faith in their leaders. Leaders may be harshly treated, even hung. There is also an abundance of snakes, a great famine, and few births during this period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 3-Ahau: This katun brings changes and calamities such as drought and wars. The people will become homeless and society will disintegrate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 1-Ahau: This katun brings even worse troubles, weak rulers and destruction. Governments fall apart due to rivalries. There may also be a great war which will end and brotherhood will return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 12-Ahau: Finally a good katun. During this period government and rulers are wise. Poor men become rich and their is abundance in the land. There is friendship and peace in the land. There will be six good years followed by six bad before well-being returns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 10-Ahau: Although this is a holy katun, there is trouble in the land once again. This katun brings drought and famine and is a time of foreign occupation, calendar change, and sadness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 8-Ahau: This may be the worst of the katuns as both Chichen Itza and Mayapan, the two great ruling cities of Yucatan, were destroyed during its period. The texts speak of demolition and destruction among the governors, an end to greed, but much fighting. It is the katun of "settling down in a new place."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 6-Ahau: This is a time of bad government and deceptive government. There is also starvation and famine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 4-Ahau: There will be scarcities of corn and squash during this katun and this will lead to great mortality. This was the katun during which the settlement of Chichen Itza occurred, when the man-god Kukulcan (Quetzalcoatl) arrived. It is the katun of remembering and recording knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 2-Ahau: For half of the katun there will be food, for half some misfortunes. This katun brings the end of the "word of God." It is a time of uniting for a cause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun 13-Ahau: This is a time of total collapse where everything is lost. It is the time of the judgment of God. There will be epidemics and plagues and then famine. Governments will be lost to foreigners and wise men, and prophets will be lost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This extremely depressing set of "fates leaves much to be desired. Out of thirteen katuns only one, katun 12-Ahau, has a positive reading, and perhaps katuns 4-Ahau and 2-Ahau could be construed to be somewhat positive. One would hope that clearer distinctions could have been made between the various katuns, but such is not the case and if any kind of astrological value is to be found here, we will have to find it through observation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the dates of katuns during the past 1,000 years&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katun #            Western years&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13 Ahau   1007     1263      1520      1776      2032&lt;br /&gt;11 Ahau   1027     1283      1539      1796      2052&lt;br /&gt;9 Ahau    1046     1303      1559      1815&lt;br /&gt;7 Ahau    1066     1322      1579      1835&lt;br /&gt;5 Ahau    1086     1342      1598      1855&lt;br /&gt;3 Ahau    1106     1362      1618      1874&lt;br /&gt;1 Ahau    1125     1382      1638      1894&lt;br /&gt;12 Ahau   1145     1401      1658      1914&lt;br /&gt;10 Ahau   1165     1421      1677      1934&lt;br /&gt;8 Ahau    1185     1441      1697      1953&lt;br /&gt;6 Ahau    1204     1460      1717      1973&lt;br /&gt;4 Ahau    1224     1480      1736      1993&lt;br /&gt;2 Ahau    1244     1500      1756      &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The table shows that we have recently lived through katun 6-Ahau: 1973-1993. During this period there was deceptive government (Watergate, Iran/Contragate) and we did have an actor for a president. There has also been an acute awareness of famines in Africa. The last time this katun occurred was between 1717 and 1736. During this period the "South Sea Bubble," a major business failure caused a financial panic, and in England, the old and young "Pretenders" continued to claim the throne. It was during another katun 6-Ahau, this one from 1460 to 1480, that the Spanish Inquisition was established and Lorenzo the Magnificent ruled Florence. Finally, katun 6-Ahau of 1204 to 1224 saw the Children's Crusade, an example of mass deception if there ever was one. Perhaps there is something to this cycle of katuns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what of the present katun, katun 4-Ahau? According to the Maya inscriptions, the katun began on 4/6/1993 and ends with the entire Long Count/creation epoch on 12/21/2012. Following the prophecy scheme of the cycle of the 13 katuns listed above, we could expect scarcities and the arrival of great leaders. It is also the katun of "remembering knowledge and writing it down." It does appear that in the past this katun coincided with a questionable measure of stability in the world and also significant advances in the written word. For example, katun 4-Ahau lasted from 1224 to 1244. During this time Frederick II took Jerusalem, but he took it diplomatically. The next time this katun came up was between 1480 and 1500. Clearly, this was a period of great voyages and discoveries -- but things were also relatively stable politically which made exploration possible. This period also marks an important period of growth in printing. Katun 4-Ahau came up next between 1736 and 1756. Interestingly, it was during this period that the first encyclopedia was published. The War of the Austrian Succession 1740-1748 did bring a settlement of territories and a measure of stability, and there were a number of alliances formed during this time as well. Power kept shifting, but did not erupt in an all-out way. Such may actually be the case from 1993 to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, the present Long Count/creation epoch of the Maya comes to an end on December 21st (the winter solstice), of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;. What will the katun that begins this new era be like? The Maya regarded katun 2-Ahau as half good and half bad, a time of uniting for a cause, but also as the katun during which came the "end of the word of God." And what does that mean? It is true that in previous 2-Ahau katuns there were great religious or ideological crises. Between 1500 and 1520 the Aztecs were conquered and forced to convert to Christianity. Also in 1517 Martin Luthor started the Protestant Reformation. 256 years later, between 1756 and 1776, the ideas of liberty and the rights of countries and individuals became a growing trend and this led to the American colonies declaring independence from England. One could say that a new era was indeed dawning, although it took a few more katuns before it could stand on its own two feet. Quite possibly some of our most taken-for-granted beliefs, secular and religious, will begin to lose cohesiveness and credibility after 2012, paving the way for a genuinely new age. If the Maya were right, then don't hold your breath for the mere millennium, the year 2000, hang on for the real changes that should begin twelve years later in 2012 and culminate with katun 13-Ahau which starts in 2032.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like a biorhythm, which is the perfect form of a natural, though usually numerically inexact cycle, the katun allowed the Maya to better organize their life and to predict the future. Like a fractal wave, the Maya saw history as repeating itself on differing scales. With this knowledge they timed their rituals and gave meaning to human life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-8098495230933264950?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/8098495230933264950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=8098495230933264950' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/8098495230933264950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/8098495230933264950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2011/08/maya-katun-prophecies.html' title='The Maya Katun Prophecies'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-4734696089401110652</id><published>2011-08-30T07:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-15T20:33:26.492-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>2012 What Will Happen</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Apocalypse 2012, What Will Happen ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the most significant event of our time is the bombardment of a neutron star August 27, 1998 for five full minutes precisely five years to the day when Mars for the first time in ancient history came closest to the earth-signaling the end of the reign of Rome; two years later and two days later on August 29 Katrina brought down the regime with high winds and devastation-which all leads to the question: what will happen on&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; , the expected apocalypse when the Mayan calendar ends?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 5,000 year old Mayan calendar when overlapping the 6000 year old Hebrew calendar aligns up with interesting occurrences at both the beginning and the end. The Mayan calendar begins in the year 666 of the Hebrew calendar; the year 1998 is multiple of 666 times three, while in the Hebrew calendar the letters made to compose the date 5758 could be rearranged to read word Nochus/Serpent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How will the celestial alignment with the center of the galaxy-known as the mouth of the serpent-which will happen in the year &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; effect the earth? Some say the world will end, but that is ridiculous because God, the Creator has made many promises about the future that must come true-not for a few, but for us all. There is promised to be a thousand years of peace called the Thousand Years of Woman beginning in 228 years after the event of 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the Mayan calendar begins on the year 666 in Hebrew calendar and ends in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse &lt;/span&gt;of the Roman calendar and 5772 of the Hebrew calendar with 228 years until the end of the Hebrew calendar all begs to be interpreted. The Creator uses numbers and events to send messages to the beloved creation. The number 666 added together makes the word Chai/Life it is the life energy of sexuality which culminates once in each thousand year period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The year 5000 which occurred three-quarters of a millinium ago was the beginning of the time period known as Ysod/Foundational Secret when all the secrets of the world come out-the beginning of the Renaissance. In every 1000 year period there is an occurrence of the 666 the last happenstance of 666 happened in 1906 and for a hundred years has been playing out until 2006 when the regime fell. Six year later, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;, the Mayan calendar ends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2012 the Hebrew calendar will ascend to its highest point-5772; the number 72 is indicative to the essence of the human being. The 228 years left until the year 6000 which will constitute the beginning of the seventh and final millennium culminating in the ascension of the united human soul to a new planet-can also be interpreted. Written out in Hebrew the number 228 comprised the word Karachim/Fissures. The year 2012 expected apocalypse is an opening, but after the window is closed there still remains a wall between Creator and creation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 &lt;/span&gt;government will be in the hands of the people and all that stands between the human being and God will be religion; the wall of religion pens us in with dogma and guilt. To bring down religion only requires fissures in the wall; because of its innate weakness religion will fall of its own. Through the fissures in the wall the human soul will merge with the human body; as the resplendent human spirit radiated from the celestial human soul comes to the earth the closer to the Creator we will all become.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On that day, the Name (the creation) and the Creator will be one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-judgement-day.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-judgement-day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-4734696089401110652?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/4734696089401110652/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=4734696089401110652' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/4734696089401110652'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/4734696089401110652'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-what-will-happen.html' title='2012 What Will Happen'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-1621880125880159104</id><published>2011-08-21T15:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-21T15:26:00.122-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>PREDICTIONS FOR 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;PREDICTIONS FOR 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It appears open to interpretation as to whether December &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; will bring total destruction or a transformation of our world.  So, below are prophecies (not necessarily Mayan) for 2012:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. There have been three or four previous races and ages of humanity (depending upon the source you read).  All of these have been destroyed in major cataclysms.  December 21.2012 marks the end of this age and it will end in major catastrophes such as Earthquakes.  (see commentary on this statement below)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. For half of the katun (20 year Mayan cycle) there will be food, for half some misfortunes. This katun brings the end of the "word of God." It is a time of uniting for a cause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. As we pass through transition there is a colossal, global convergence of environmental destruction, social chaos, war and ongoing Earth changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.  The Earth will undergo a magnetic field shift, reversing the polarity of the planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.  An asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-1621880125880159104?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/1621880125880159104/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=1621880125880159104' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/1621880125880159104'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/1621880125880159104'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2011/08/predictions-for-2010.html' title='PREDICTIONS FOR 2010'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-7656969617243204629</id><published>2011-08-18T07:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-15T20:34:24.883-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>2012 Judgement Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9cVgENj-I/AAAAAAAAABM/gXIHeMQ4JTg/s1600-h/end+of+days_2012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 184px; height: 139px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9cVgENj-I/AAAAAAAAABM/gXIHeMQ4JTg/s320/end+of+days_2012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228499216855044066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Judgement Day &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;December 21, 2012&lt;/span&gt;: Judgment Day&lt;br /&gt;By David Brooks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Science can neither confirm nor discredit the validity of many religiously or prophetically deemed judgment days of the future, the soonest of which will be arriving December 21, 2012, the final day of the Mayan Calendar. Although the Mayas reached their conclusion astrologically, many religious beliefs and prophets have also independently attached different earth-shattering events to take place during relatively the same neighborhood in time. As the winter solstice of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; draws nearer, scientists and skeptics alike are paying close attention to the world's development and potential signs that might support the Mayan calendar's End-Time date or the religious belief of others in a prophesied Judgment Day.&lt;br /&gt;Most religions throughout history that believe in a God or a Creator have had some sort a judgment day within their belief system. In each case, this is a time when the earth shall be destroyed or cleansed of the wrong-doers and those that believe in their God shall be saved or brought to heaven to reside in His Kingdom. Although many predicted judgment days have already come and gone without incident, the fact that several others fall relatively close to the Maya's astrologically derived end-time has been the cause of some special attention given to this particular date in the near future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both the Jewish and the Islamic faiths have specific end-time dates arriving within 229 years of the Mayan prediction in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;. The Jewish date is in October of 2240 while the Islamic date falls in the "Year of the Haj" in 2076. The Jewish faith maintains that each one thousand years marks one day for God. Both the Jewish calendar and the Old Testament of the Bible state that on the seventh day of God, everything that belongs to Him shall be returned to Him. Likewise, many Christian prophets have claimed that He shall return on the third day of God, which could be anytime between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 3000, each day of God again being represented by a thousand years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Christian faith gives no specific date for when God is going to return to earth and destroy all evil while taking His followers with him to Heaven. Instead, the Book of Revelations talks of diminishing faith, increased violence, world wars, world catastrophes, and natural disasters mounting shortly before His reappearance. Many religious leaders look at today's crime rates, Tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, wars being fought between nations, and the growing number of atheists as signs that God's return will be soon. In 2005, La Voz De Aztlan reported, "...many of the Old and New Testament biblical prophecies of the end-times correlate amazingly with religious beliefs of the Mayas and other indigenous civilizations of the western hemisphere."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mayan calendars use astrology rather than faith in pin-pointing their version of the last day on earth as we know it. The Mayas were well ahead of their time in regards to tracking the stars and motions in the skies. They managed to track patterns in the universe that scientists were unable to rediscover until hundreds of years later. Their calendars are based on the alignments of Venus in relation to the Earth, or the positions of particular stars and their relation to the planets and solar system. The mere fact that they were aware of a solar system and the difference between planets and stars without the use of high-powered telescopes baffles scientists and historians to this day. Nonetheless, their calendars have been proven to be by far the most accurate in existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mayans claim that time will no longer be able to be measured after December 21, 2012 apocalypse because it will no longer consistently travel in the same pattern that it does today. This could very easily be a description of what would happen to time if the earth got thrown off its axis. Once it starts spinning at a different speed and angle, the days will be longer or shorter. Likewise, if its orbit around the sun is changed, so is the length of a year. Their explanation was that the solar system will reach the conclusion of a 5,125 year natural cycle on &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;December 21, 2012&lt;/span&gt;, at which time drastic changes will take place. These changes will be the cause of a day no longer consisting of twenty-four hours and a year no longer being three hundred and sixty-five and a quarter days. Scientists have confirmed that, in much the same manner as a year cycles through the four seasons, the Mayas were once again correct in regards to the 5,125 year seasonal cycle of the solar system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along with the different religious beliefs and the ancient astrology of the Mayas, there is one major prophet that has earned the right to be listened to who also confirms that the world is soon in for a major change. Nostradamus was born more than 500 years ago in France in 1503 A.D. From 1555 to 1566, he wrote hundreds of quatrains. Each of these quatrains is a prediction, a vision he claimed he had gotten from the future that had been delivered to him by God. Most of his predictions were related to the political and economic conditions of his own era, the late 1500's and into the 1600's, but he also counted the number of future world wars correctly, going so far as to name "Hizler" as the second anti-Christ behind World War II. In the early 1560's, he described wars fought from the air and from below the ocean's surface. He goes on to write about 'the new city' that gets flattened soon before the third and final world war. Many scholarly translators of Nostradamus' work believe this prediction came to fruition on September 11, 2001 with the World Trade Center's collapse in New York City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From his quatrains that are considered relevant to today and potentially coincide with the type of dramatic changes that would take place during the prophesied end-time days, some experts translate to state that a war will begin out of the Middle East and the third anti-Christ will be a man with a turban and a beard. He predicts that there will be massive, worldwide loss of life, both militant and civilian. He then claims that a millennium of peace will follow this final world war, which some interpret as starting over, or not enough people left in the world to fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nostradamus was well-known and not appreciated by the government in power at the time of his writings. Much of his work was written in a coded language that he himself invented while constantly traveling throughout Italy and France in case the government got their hands on them. It is for this reason that his predictions cannot be taken to the bank. There is no doubt that Nostradamus had an incredible insight of some sort to be aware of world wars, planes, and submarines, to name but a few, hundreds of years before they took place or were invented. Precise dates, and many times the event itself, however, are subject to translation of his original work, which not every translator sees eye to eye on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In light of so many unrelated sources pinpointing the same relatively small span of time for a cataclysmic event to occur, many scientists are carefully tracking the numbers and severities of today's natural disasters and comparing them closely to the past. In Revelations, as the world as we know it nears its final days, natural disasters are on the increase. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a government funded organization, in the 1900's there were 110 earthquakes large enough to cause 1000 or more deaths throughout the world. Breaking the century down to first half and second half, there were exactly fifty-five earthquakes of this magnitude during the first fifty years. There were also exactly fifty-five earthquakes during the second fifty years of the 1900's. So they have not increased in numbers. However, using the number of deaths as a determining factor in history is irrelevant because of the growth and greater densities of the population as time progresses. The great San Francisco earthquake of 1906, for example, caused 3,000 deaths. With today's population, that same earthquake could easily be responsible for 30,000 deaths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This leaves us to look at the severity of the earthquakes. The Richter Magnitude scale is used to measure the strength of each quake. During the first fifty years, the 1.1 earthquakes per year averaged a 6.6 on the Richter scale. During the second fifty years, the average was 6.9. This may not look like a very large difference, but in this point system, each tenth of a point is almost double the strength of the previous tenth. And having pointed that out, we should take note of the fact that the U.S. Geological Survey team also has recorded seven such earthquakes thus far in the 2000's. The average in numbers is only half an earthquake more per year, but the average Richter scale level has risen quite a bit to 7.5.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hurricanes and tropical storms are also being closely tracked. According to the National Hurricane Center, the United States had more hurricanes in the first half of the 1900's than the second half by twenty-three, but the percentage of those hurricanes that were ranked in the most severe categories rose from 32% to 39% in the latter half.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the most recent years, CNN News reports that a record number of storms hit the U.S. in 2005. The seasonal average for named storms is ten. Six of those are hurricanes and two of those are major. In 2005 alone, there were a record twenty-seven named storms, thirteen of which were hurricanes, and seven of which were major. That puts over 50% of the hurricanes into the higher categories, a dramatic increase from the last century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another natural phenomenon going on right now that scientist and governments alike are very concerned about that could potentially cause the realization of the Mayan prediction regarding the fate of the earth, is global warming, or more specifically, the melting of the earth's ice caps. CBS NEWS reported on February 19, 2006, that the ice caps have been frozen for more than 100,000 years but will have melted by the end of this century. "Temps in the arctic are rising twice as fast as they are in the rest of the world" (Bill Owens).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bob Corell, one of the world's top authorities on climate change, recently joined with 300 scientists from eight countries and put together The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment. Their reported conclusion was, "The entire planet is out of balance...In 10 years, here in the arctic, we [will] see what the rest of the planet will see in 25 or 30 years from now." Corell adds, for CBS News, that sea levels which have risen 10 inches over the last century will have risen an additional three feet during the next 100 years. The result of this would cause the lowlands in virtually every country in the world to be under water. The Netherlands would simply no longer exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On August 23, 2005, the India Daily Technology Team, released a study about the overall condition of our planet, stating "The tectonic plate shifts, underwater volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides and Tsunamis are increasing at rates never seen before...The number of floods and droughts has increased beyond imagination in the last ten years." The numbers in some cases are indeed up, but in most there is little change. However, the intensity or magnitude of these natural disasters has most definitely increased and currently show no signs of changing this trend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The increased severities of these storms and earthquakes, as well as the predicted melting of the ice caps, are all natural phenomenon that may be taking place as part of the natural cycle of the solar system. Just as every summer melts away the winter snow and ice, the rising temperatures here on earth could be a part of a change of seasons in the solar system. Since the end of this cycle occurs December 21, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 the apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;, it stands to reason that a new cycle will begin on &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;December 22, 2012.&lt;/span&gt; We know that the solar system, as well as the planet we live on, has been through this cycle countless times in its billions of years of existence. We also know that the earth has been through many of these cycles without falling off its axis. Since the ice caps are not predicted to melt completely for another century or so, and the new solar season begins in less than six years, it is quite possible that the new season could begin to correct these natural phenomena before they contribute to the destruction of life on this planet as we know it. It is virtually impossible to know what daily or even yearly changes in the earth's climate may have taken place in the last decade or two before the end of the last solar cycle 5,119 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something cosmic may indeed happen on &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;December 21, 2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;, but all we need to do is look back a few years to 1999 when the world held its breath as the calendar shifted to a new century. People were stocking up on supplies and preparing for a world-wide economic collapse just before the turn of the century based purely on the suspicions of a few paranoid folks in power. By 2010, the paranoia that the Maya's might be correct will undoubtedly reach discussion levels to equal the intensity of Y2K, if not surpass it. But without concrete scientific evidence that the structure of time is going to change as in the Mayan prediction, or that the earth is going to change its rotation or orbit around the sun in less than six years, in my opinion, we will more than likely see another prophesied judgment day come and go once again. Then after a collective, global, sigh of relief, we will undoubtedly shift our attention to the next potential judgment day in 2040 when all nine planets of our solar system line up in a straight line for the first time in hundreds of thousands of years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/end-of-time.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-apocalypse: end-of-time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-7656969617243204629?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/7656969617243204629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=7656969617243204629' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/7656969617243204629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/7656969617243204629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-judgement-day.html' title='2012 Judgement Day'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9cVgENj-I/AAAAAAAAABM/gXIHeMQ4JTg/s72-c/end+of+days_2012.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-2086650597377762762</id><published>2011-08-18T00:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-18T00:21:00.785-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>Memories of Lemuria-2</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;Memories of Lemuria-2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the past lives that human beings memorize, particularly those that beings with very high consciousnesses memorize in their auras, the most precious life should be that in Lemuria, or Mu (Mooh) continent, which can be regarded as the origin of humankind. About a million years ago from now, the first consciousness in the universe called Mu and many other beings with very high consciousnesses from various parts of the universe came to the earth. They were experts from the whole universe who gathered at the earth—a planet created to assume a special role in the development of the universe—to progress a special event. Remaining in an energy state of uncontaminated consciousnesses, they lived while singing, clapping hands, and dancing together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because all were clear and pure energy beings, each being could become man or woman at one’s own will, and if wanted, could always enter or leave the earth without experiencing physical birth and death since the earth was not materialized. Neither worries to fulfill the need for food, clothing, and shelter nor greed for material things existed. Selfishness, jealousy, envy, and rage that humankind is currently experiencing did not exist in Lemuria. The beings loved each other and were in harmony in the crystal clear and clean environment of the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As time passed by, however, beings with consciousnesses of low frequencies flocked to the earth. The frequency of the earth gradually lowered, and the earth went through the process of materialization. In this process, the Lemurian society began to change rapidly and fundamentally. Some of the beings with higher consciousnesses that had not experienced life and death by staying in an etheric state returned to the universe. On the other hand, others that promised to remain on the earth until the dimensional ascension in the future began to prepare for various lives to adapt themselves to the lower consciousnesses on the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the earth materialized, the system of reincarnation was introduced, and in this system nobody could have a whole memory of one’s past or live a life completely revealing one’s intrinsic capabilities. Thus, of the beings that opened the Lemurian period, those that promised to keep remaining on the earth began to experience reincarnation under the same condition as the other beings in the material earth, with their cosmic capabilities and knowledge being sealed. Their physical lives on the earth were planned in terms of two aspects: to accumulate energies needed for the role each being has to carry out in the period of the earth’s dimensional ascension and to effectively undergo each being’s learning that should be experienced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life on the earth has not at all been easy to anybody—a life in which one, in total oblivion of one’s self, perceives vivid feelings through the five senses. Many Lemurian beings reincarnated into high priests, monks, political or religious leaders, Hwan-oong, or Dan-goon in diverse ancient civilizations, such as Atlantis, Hwan-kook, Egypt, Inca, Maya, and the civilizations that followed. They also experienced many common lives not known at all. Because of the vague memories of their existence, which are occasionally sensed through their feelings, they have lived tougher lives than others and have lived in obscure nostalgia and yearning for the universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the earth’s ascension begins, these Lemurian beings are collectively awakening from a long sleep. Their awakenings are occurring through diverse stages planned according to each being’s program in this life, so each being is currently at a different stage. However, all of them will go through the final stage of awakening in a near future. Then they will definitely know why they are here now and what they should do. Experiencing a complete awakening, they will obtain powerful internal strength that enables one to begin one’s true life without any compromise. They will recognize one another and restore their excellent capabilities and knowledge that they had in the universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Possessing vague impressions of the earth’s dimensional ascension, many Lemurian beings who are awakening now think they should do something. They think they should take the lead to protect the earth’s environment, to help the miserable, or to help people’s consciousnesses grow, and many of them are already in action. Most people think what they are doing now is their tasks, but their true tasks and full-scale activities have not started yet. Their activities carried out so far were for their personal experiences and for the preparation of future activities. The tasks they should truly do in this life will not begin until after they experience the last stage of awakening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not completely being awakened, some Lemurian beings struggle to achieve what they are currently doing and try to expand their work. I want to suggest to these people that they reflect upon themselves and try to feel the fundamental principles of life. On the surface, life seems to progress by one’s will and capability, but in fact it unfolds according to planned scenarios, and humans are beings who experience those scenarios. Thoughts to accomplish or achieve something occur because one does not totally realize that life is a stage play to experience. Also, people’s thought that systemized efforts for the development of spirituality is necessary should be reconsidered. With no exception, organizations and groups are formed based on people’s desires. Thus, once an organization is made and is in action, one cannot help deviating from true do (the way).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, most people have placed too much confidence in the strength of humankind and have believed that human beings change the world even though they have witnessed great natural disasters occasionally. Although people know that the earth is merely a grain of sand in the beach, they have negated beings of outer space and have lived with a blind faith that the earth’s Great Change will not happen during their lifetimes. Events will begin to happen, manifesting how wrong such self-centered thought is and how empty the knowledge and ideas inculcated under the name of education are. Moreover, those events will reveal that a more fundamental energy world, which is unfolded infinitely, exists behind the visible material world and that eventually the world will evolve by the will of divine providence and not by that of humankind. If accomplishing something is the true will of divine providence, it can happen immediately regardless of human efforts and will. I expect that the earth’s Great Change progressing on a full scale will definitely show this aspect to the whole humankind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who expand their awareness and begin to know the essence of life through spiritual experiences find that people who are desperate to only obtain and consume material things surround them. Moreover, they come to rediscover the fact that all media such as newspaper, magazine, TV, and the Internet are filled with heroic episodes of people excelling in achieving wealth and fame. They strongly feel that it is really difficult to live as a two-eyed being in a world of one-eyed ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is needed for them now may not be turning their eyes to the outer world. It would not be helpful at all for one to look around the outer world called “reality” and become frustrated or to feel terrible by picturing one’s future five or ten years from now, supposing the current material world were to continue. Instead, one should go deep inside oneself to realize the fundamental principles of life and feel the earth’s changes that are currently proceeding. It is necessary to feel the rapidly changing earth energy and listen to the collapsing sound of the existing material system through the spiritual sense that is gradually being developed. I expect everybody spiritually awakening now to feel deeply the following message: “You do not need to worry at all about the future. Everything is being arranged.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-2086650597377762762?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/2086650597377762762/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=2086650597377762762' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/2086650597377762762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/2086650597377762762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2011/08/memories-of-lemuria-2.html' title='Memories of Lemuria-2'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-3195333441671396336</id><published>2011-08-08T07:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-15T20:27:38.845-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>2012 Apocalypse: The End of Time ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9bu4ADD7I/AAAAAAAAABE/o1ucRHCry5U/s1600-h/judgement_2012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 168px; height: 168px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9bu4ADD7I/AAAAAAAAABE/o1ucRHCry5U/s320/judgement_2012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228498553265131442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A.D. 2012 Apocalypse : The End of Time?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"These same shamans told Dr. Villoldo that the world was truly coming to an end... that the planet would be transformed over the next few years in ways beyond our current ability to comprehend."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Mysteries of the Great Cross at Hendaye"&lt;br /&gt;by Jay Weidner and Vincent Bridges&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Maya&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A great deal has been written about the end times and December 21, 2012 apocalypse, the date the Mayan sacred calendar inexplicably comes to an abrupt end. And there is good reason for doing so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The advanced Mayan civilization that we know of seems to have appeared out of the mist some 3,500 years ago in the jungles of Mexico. Interestingly, it was an elaborately developed culture right from the start. Edgar Cayce said their ancestry came from Atlantis. This civilization went into rapid decline approximately 900 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, the Mayan artifacts tell us in no uncertain terms that they were master astronomers with an intimate knowledge of the heavens. And they were obsessed with recording cycles of cosmic time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Maya described five different ages that existed in the distant past, each lasting some 5,125 years. They have also told us that all of those ages ended with some form of physical cataclysm, which was needed to cleanse our planet of mankind's negative karma. Then, with the start of each new era, our conscious evolution would begin again from the seeds of the survivors left behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Maya, the fifth and final age began approximately 5,125 years ago. One has to wonder why their calendar, constructed more than two thousand years ago, mysteriously ended with the fifth age at "zero point," on the winter solstice of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 the expected apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;. Is there no next age?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Tibetan Wheel of Time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Equally compelling is that almost one thousand years ago, in another part of the world far from the Maya, an Indian yogi named Somanatha brought the Wheel of Time (Kalachakra) to Tibet. Soon thereafter, the first incarnate lama, Karmapa, added refinements to the Wheel's dates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Wheel of Time contains a profound prophecy. It tells us that 960 years after its introduction in Tibet in 1027 A.D., the end of time would come 25 years thereafter. Adding 960 to 1027 brings us to the year 1987. Add the remaining 25 years to this date and one arrives at&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 2012,&lt;/span&gt; the end of the Mayan calendar ... the end of time  ! The  start of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Hopi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't stop there. The Hopi, whose name means "people of peace," have sacred traditions that go back thousands of years. Their time-honored teachings point to certain prophecies that would manifest just before a great purification takes place on planet Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The purification would be a time when the world would shudder and tremble causing much destruction, in order to cleanse the planet of the karmic negativity we have created while serving as its caretakers. Not too long ago, the Hopis said that those prophecies have now completed. It appears that the time for purification is upon us, as we approach &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Peruvian Shamans&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hopi's friends, the Peruvian shamans, have recently come forward to tell us that sometime between the years 2002 to 2012 the world will be shaken and transformed in ways that will be difficult to comprehend. It will be a time in which our reality will be turned inside out, upside down and completely restructured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These same shamans also say that something very profound will occur this time around, with a possible break occurring between spiritually awakened individuals and those who are not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;End Time Prophecies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similar end time prophecies can be found in many Eastern and Western religious teachings, in various channeled messages given to individuals by other worldly sources, as well as in the lore of different native cultures and esoteric texts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of these prophecies describe the return of Christ for the final judgment. Some point to financial collapse or even WWIII that will usher in the end of days. Others speak of a massive shift in human awareness, in which our old ways of thinking will end, as we birth the emerging Age of Aquarius with a new collective consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Benjamin Creme&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is an intriguing message of hope that Benjamin Crème has brought to millions of people around the world for the past thirty years. After careful study, I have to admit it deserves open-minded consideration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creme tells us that Maitreya the Christ, as the World Teacher, has been physically with us since 1971 and that He is about to announce His presence to one and all. Then, assisted by the Masters of Wisdom, He will guide humanity out of the present mess we've created and work with us to build an entirely new civilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What raises the eyebrows is that a vast majority of these prophetic messages, some of which predate current time, are converging at this moment in human destiny. Admittedly, not all agree on the details. However, they all appear to be saying the same thing. Something big is coming. The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;. And there is reason to believe that this is so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fingerprints of the Gods&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his best selling book, Fingerprints of the Gods, Graham Hancock conducted an exhaustive investigation into mankind's remote past. This effort took him all over the world from the Great Sphinx, to the Hopis, to the Andean ruins and to the monuments of many ancient civilizations, including the Maya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hancock believes that within the records and monuments of these ancient civilizations there is an important message for us. He concludes that in our distant past there were others who were very advanced technologically, but not spiritually, such as the Atlanteans. This imbalance led to their demise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "fingerprints" of information that our ancestors left for us to discover and contemplate warn of terrible Earth changes that periodically afflict our planetary home. And the end of another cycle appears to be upon us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cycles of Time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout the ages, Masters and other adepts were sent to planet Earth to help us find our way. While here they realized that the flow of time in our material world was not linear but cyclic. Sacred Hindu teachings, passed down to humanity for thousands of years, tell us the same thing. This ancient knowledge was based upon the most important cycle of Earthly time called the Great Year or Maha Yuga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Great Year consists of 25,920 years and is said to have a profound influence on the destiny of mankind. It results from the phenomenon known as precession that is caused by the slow wobble of planet Earth, as it rotates on its axis. It takes 25,920 years to complete one turn of the wobble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In variance with the Mayan calendar, the Hindu teachings describe how the Great Year is made up of four ages, or Yugas, each approximately 6,480 years in length (either way, both the Mayan calendar and Hindu wisdom agree that we are now at the extreme end of the Great cycle). Based upon the Yuga count, we are living out the final moments of the fourth age, the Kali Yuga or Iron Age, when humanity sinks to its lowest level. And we are told that such an ending will have profound implications for our cosmic evolution.... the shift in human consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Mysteries of the Great Cross of Hendaye&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently read a book called The Mysteries of the Great Cross of Hendaye by Jay Weidner and Vincent Bridges that continued to bring the end times into further focus for me. One has to be a bit diligent and studious while reading certain parts of the book, but the rewards are worth the effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the authors, an extraordinary message was carved into the mysterious cross at Hendaye, discovered in a churchyard in the south of France. It's significance flows forward from the ancient Egyptian mystery schools, the secret knowledge of alchemy, Gnosticism, the Kabbalah, Sufism and mystical Christianity. The authors conclude that whoever carved the celestial alignments and inscriptions on this cross several centuries ago had a profound knowledge of the universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The body of information encoded within the cross' message deals with the end times, the 25,920-year cycle and may very well be linked to the age of Atlantis. Most importantly, the celestial alignments on the cross clearly show that it is a marker stone for a future cleansing that will occur sometime between the years 1992 and&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 2012.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The authors of the Hendaye cross book have fitted together the pieces of an alchemical puzzle that does not depend upon prophesy. Rather, they point to specific celestial alignments and inscriptions embedded in the cross' messages that connect to serious Earth changes. In fact, the next cleansing, coinciding with the general time period of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse,&lt;/span&gt; may have already begun.... the beginning of the New Age...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And just exactly what is coming? According to the Henday Cross book, a mysterious alchemist named Fulcanelli left humanity certain teachings during the 1900s. He appears to be the end of an alchemical lineage that goes back some 6,000 years, which included, among many others, Hermes, Isis, Leonardo DaVinci, Sir Isaac Newton, Carl Jung and JRR Tolkien, the author of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fulcanelli tells us that based upon the cross' encoded message the northern hemisphere of planet Earth will be tried by fire, as a result of a double catastrophe. Furthermore, the cause of this catastrophic cleansing will originate from an off-earth source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The authors of this book also cite recent scientific evidence to suggest that the periodic cataclysms afflicting our planet can be traced to explosive bursts of incomprehensible energy that periodically discharge from the center of our galaxy. In some esoteric writings the galactic core has been referred to as the Central Sun, which emits rays of divine influence that guide the evolution of our galaxy and all who inhabit it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The enormous outbursts of light energy that come from the galactic core appear to be in sync with different stages of the 25,920-year cycle. For example, the last significant change that overtook planet Earth occurred approximately 13,000 years ago, halfway through the Great Cycle. At that time, the last Ice Age ended with catastrophic flooding, and, as some suggest, massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and perhaps a violent displacement of the Earth's crust resulting in a pole shift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly, recent scientific evidence published by Dr. Paul LaViolette proposes that a massive burst of super wave energy was released from the galactic core approximately 13,000 years ago. Keep in mind that the pendulum of the Great Year has now swung all the way to its opposite side, as we enter the final days of the 25,920-year cycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ancient wisdom tells us that the Great Year is a function of God's cosmic clock, which creates constant change and opportunities for our growth and evolution. In unison with other cycles, it gives rise to the natural, rhythmic flow of birth and death that affects the disappearance and reappearance of Earth changes, lunar cycles, the four seasons, and the phases of our own lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Maya and others are telling us that the hands of cosmic time are once again striking twelve for mankind. As such, a transition has begun that will give birth to a divinely inspired, quantum leap in human experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will anyone survive the cleansing that may soon be upon us? Fulcanelli and others say that only spiritually awakened souls will remain after the coming changes. And those souls will form the seeds of future generations who will usher in and sanctify the coming Golden Age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related teachings indicate that in the process of separating the wheat from the chaff the spiritually aware will be brought into a higher realm of existence. The remainder of humanity would continue to awaken to their divine nature through another 25,920-year cycle on another 3-dimensional planet similar to Earth until they are ready to "graduate."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How quickly will these changes occur? Some say in the blink of an eye. Others suggest it will begin shortly and take centuries or longer to complete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taken together, this kind of information is a lot for the human mind to bear. What are we to make of all these messages? Can this really be the end of time? Will all of this end-of-days hoopla be just another doomsday scenario that passes us by in a whimper?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I for one believe that an old cycle of human history is indeed coming to an end so that something new can be born. I also feel it will be coupled with physical cleansing. How much upheaval occurs and to what degree it challenges our everyday lives remains to be seen. The reason is that the future is fluid and will be defined by the individual and collective choices we are making today. Either way, I feel we are in the early stages of profound change that will intensify as we head toward the year &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse &lt;/span&gt;and continue thereafter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I base my feelings on two unmistakable warning signs that are difficult to ignore because both exist for all to see: (1) the relentless destruction of our environment, and, (2) the rampant end-of-the-Iron-Age symptoms, which are now apparent throughout the far reaches of this once magnificent planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, we have maxed out our global home. Earth Mother cannot replenish her resources fast enough to satisfy our collective greed. The environment is almost at the point of irreversible destruction. I would guess that we have a window of twenty years or so before this happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Add to the above the recent Pentagon report of rapid climate change that could occur over the next twenty years due to global warming and we have the ingredients for climate disaster and planetary chaos. Throw in global dimming, changes in the ocean currents, which have already been reported, rapidly retreating glaciers, rampant greed, wars, deception, attempts at global domination by powerful countries, unending materialism, and self-gratification and the end result only intensifies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, it is a time when far too many of us know more about the Sopranos, our gas-guzzling SUVs, Paris Hilton, and our financial portfolios than we do about our own souls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For sure, there are gradual signs that higher choices are being made today for the betterment of mankind and the well being of our planet. However, baring a major miracle that can occur at any time, I see nothing tangible enough to suddenly tip the scales of humanity's collective consciousness towards God-centeredness, love, harmony, peace, justice, and sharing and away from the current madness. And that is exactly what it will take before the rapidly closing window of opportunity to advance the human spirit closes around us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ancient lore says that Atlantis was destroyed because technology became God and relatively few Atlanteans were spiritually aware and living their truth. Humanity didn't learn how to balance and harmonize the two for the greater good back then. It seems we are making the same mistake again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When all the trees have been cut down,&lt;br /&gt;When all the animals have been hunted,&lt;br /&gt;When all the air is unsafe to breathe,&lt;br /&gt;Only then will you discover that you&lt;br /&gt;cannot eat money"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~ A Cree prophecy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The 2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;..... be prepared...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-3195333441671396336?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/3195333441671396336/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=3195333441671396336' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/3195333441671396336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/3195333441671396336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/end-of-time.html' title='2012 Apocalypse: The End of Time ?'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9bu4ADD7I/AAAAAAAAABE/o1ucRHCry5U/s72-c/judgement_2012.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-2815128122580675261</id><published>2009-03-13T00:29:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T20:18:32.320-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>2012 apocalypse : Galactic Alignments in Ancient Traditions &amp; the Future of Humanity</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse : &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Galactic Alignments in Ancient Traditions &amp;amp; the Future of Humanity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In March of 1987, I witnessed a dramatic all-day fire ceremony in the highland Maya village of Chamula, Mexico. I helped build a school in San Pedro, Guatemala. I delivered relief supplies to Quiché Maya villages in the Guatemalan highlands. Mesoamerican studies is a relatively young field. The Mayan hieroglyphic writing has only recently been decoded enough that we can reconstruct detailed histories of specific Mayan kingdoms. In researching and writing seven books, I have focused on decoding the ancient Mayan calendar and its associated cosmology, and I have been drawn to address one unanswered question: Why does a large cycle of time in the Mayan Long Count calendar end in the year that we call AD 2012?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mayan scholars have spent almost a century deciphering the Mayan calendar’s relationship to our own. It is well known that the basic  260-day calendar was augmented by the use of another calendar,called the Long Count.&lt;br /&gt;Utilising nested cycles of 20, 360, 7200, and 144,000 days, the Long Count culminates in a World Age cycle of 13 baktuns, which equals 5,125 years. After decades of interdisciplinary analysis, Mayan scholars Joseph T. Goodman, Juan Martínez, and J. Eric S. Thompson determined that the 13-baktun cycle of the Long Count calendar could be confidently located in real time, and its end-date would occur on 13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count, which corresponds to December 21, 2012. Because the end-date of the 13-baktun cycle of the Mayan Long Count calendar occurs on a winter solstice, I felt that the ancient Maya may have intended to indicate something with that&lt;br /&gt;end-date. Fixing a time period by its end-date may seem counter-intuitive, but the Maya actually preferred this perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, periods of time within the Long Count are named by their end-date; we are currently in the 4 Ahau katun of the Long Count calendar because the last day of this katun falls on 4 Ahau.&lt;br /&gt;Generally, Mayan metaphors draw from nature. After nine years of research into the 2012 question, in 1998 I published my book Maya Cosmogenesis &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;, presenting an astronomical explanation for the Mayan 2012 end-date. In 1998-1999 I was able to workshop my ideas at the Esalen Institute, Naropa University, and the Institute of MayaStudies, with affirming feedback.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This alignment is not something that happens in every era, for the precession of the equinoxes slowly shifts the position of the solstice Sun in relation to the “background” position of the Milky Way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The precessional phenomenon that is responsible for bringing the solstice Sun into alignment with the Milky Way is caused by the slow wobbling of the Earth on its axis. Izapa – a progressive ceremonial site containing astronomical alignments and monuments portraying the Mayan Creation Myth – is evidently where the Long Count calendar was instituted.&lt;br /&gt;My research shows that the ball court at Izapa is ground zero of the knowledge that a future alignment of Sun and galaxy would occur. Most significantly, according to calculations by the US Naval Observatory, it is in our era that the alignment of the December solstice Sun with the Milky Way galaxy culminates. This “solstice-galaxy” or “galactic” alignment has great significance within Mayan mythology and cosmology. In my books, especially Maya Cosmogenesis &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;, I show how this alignment scenario was encoded into basic Mayan institutions such as the Creation Myth, the sacred ballgame, and king accession rites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My reconstruction of the true intention of the Mayan calendar end-date, though seemingly quite novel, gains support in my subsequent research, for I have discovered that such “galactic” concepts were recognised in other ancient cosmologies (e.g., Egyptian, Islamic, and Vedic).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book, Galactic Alignment: The Transformation of Consciousness According to Mayan, Egyptian, and Vedic Traditions (Inner Traditions International, 2002 – available from New Dawn Book Service), examines evidence that the alignment of the solstice Sun with the Milky Way galaxy (the “galactic alignment”) played a significant role in Old World and Eastern religious iconography and metaphysical traditions. Tracing the galactic knowledge back to ancient Vedic India, it appears that its manifestation in Islamic, Greek, Mithraic, Celtic, and Medieval Hermetic traditions is merely a nascent resurgence of a knowledge that is very ancient indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It must be emphasised that this ancient “galactic cosmology” is based in empirical astronomy. The periodic alignment of the solstices with the galactic plane is basic astronomy, although discussion of it is largely absent from astronomy text books (Jean Meuss’s 1997 book Mathematical Astronomy Morsels is an exception).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much could be explored along the lines of how such an alignment is encoded into ancient mythologies and religious symbolism, which is the primary concern of my new book. However, its basis in empirical astronomy elicits a concern for whether the eschatological ideas of world transformation that inevitably attend an awareness of such alignments are empirically valid. This opens up an avenue of enquiry that modern thinkers who wish to integrate science and spirit should address. As a researcher of ancient traditions, I can point to certain interpretations and reconstructions that are implied or are even unavoidable given the facts – for example, I can say with confidence that solstitial alignments to the galactic plane were significant  players in ancient traditions that addressed questions of eschatology, cosmology, human salvation, and the nature of time. For example, a chapter in my new book explores Oliver Reiser’s work that suggests the Galactic Centre is a major factor in the evolution of life on Earth. My own path of discovery suggests the following: Beyond the insatiable quest for empirical physical evidence lies the transcendent challenge of metaphysics, and our materialist paradigm could benefit greatly from a serious look at the profound insights of traditional metaphysics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that many researchers are currently focusing  overmuch on ancient technologies. This stance is clearly a projection of our own culture’s fascination with technology and&lt;br /&gt;assumes that the presence of recognisable technology is the best barometer of how advanced an ancient culture was. However, my surprising discoveries of an advanced Mayan cosmological science  suggest that what is more important to explore, and what speaks clearly to a void in modern values, is the spiritual insight we find in ancient traditions. Many of us have studied and practiced various spiritual disciplines derived from ancient Hindu, Mayan, or even Egyptian teachings. However, even with this as a foundation, new insights open up when we understand the galactic underpinnings of such traditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ancient Mayan civilisation understood the universal principles that create and sustain the world. These “first principles” underlie the physical laws that modern science has used to create technological miracles, but the first principles of Mayan sacred science embraced a much larger universe in which human beings were seen to be multidimensional and capable of traveling beyond time and space, beyond the confines that limit modern science with its “laws” that are valid only in the physical three-dimensional plane. We are amazed by the ancient Maya and their baffling, complicated calendar science, and how they built their huge stone cities without using beasts of burden. Perhaps the value of ancient civilisations lies not in a hope that they, at times, struggled up to the same technological level that we recognise as evidence of being civilised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ancient Vedic civilisation is not particularly celebrated for material achievements and yet, like the Maya, they enjoyed a sophisticated understanding of celestial cycles as well as a deep&lt;br /&gt;understanding of human spirituality. Modern historical investigation continues to push back the&lt;br /&gt;dating of the origins of civilisations and the advent of material technologies. The arguments of modern independent researchers for advanced technology in ancient times is important, as it increases respect for these ancient cultures among those who value these kinds of achievements, but I believe it misses the point – it is like celebrating Einstein because he worked in a patent office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As with Shambhala, which faded into invisibility as humanity lost the ability to see it, the Primordial Tradition fades but reemerges in places conducive to discovering and appreciating its profound depth and wisdom. This explains the ancient Maya’s isolation and independent genius which nevertheless had tapped into the same doctrines also found in ancient Vedic and Egyptian cosmology. In part 3 of the book Galactic Alignment, I explore the metaphysical ideas of the Traditionalist school, in particular the writings of esteemed scholar Ananda Coomaraswamy and symbolist philosopher René Guénon. In the Vedic doctrine of World Ages, Kali Yuga is the final age, the age of greatest spiritual darkness, and its end signals the shift to a new World Age. Clarifying some undeveloped areas within Traditionalist thought, and drawing from the insights of various Vedic commentators, I identify the galactic alignment of era-&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; as the key to the timing of this transition, anchoring the Vedic yuga doctrine to a real astronomical event. What if ancient civilisations were aware of the Galactic Centre and the precession of the equinoxes, and that they believed that eras of galactic alignment – like the one we are struggling through right now – somehow contribute to the unfolding of consciousness on Earth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s really about an open door, a once-in-a-precessional-cycle zone of opportunity to align ourselves with the galactic source of life. The larger life-wave of humanity is at stake. Birth-growth-death-renewal – this process does follow a universal law that appears “predictable” but if it’s part of the natural cycles of change, then what do we have to worry about? The metaphor is about birth and death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, few spend much time reflecting on death – the Great Transformer. That teaching is encoded into the Vedic theft of soma myth, and in pursuing its underlying wisdom regarding the transformation of consciousness, all of the book’s themes are integrated into the metaphysical importance of the solstice-galaxy alignment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This brief introduction invites readers to explore more deeply the source material that contributes to my conclusions, including studies in sacred cartography, Mithraic symbolism, the Chaldean Oracles, Islamic astronomy, Vedic and Egyptian metaphysics, Hermetic studies, South American traditions, Christian architecture and iconography, and Mayan astronomy.5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For empirical scientists, astronomy is the central key that connects these questions to hard science, and the metaphysical concepts relating to these eschatological questions are, in fact, closely related to astronomy. Yet beyond empirical concerns, the role of galactic alignments in spiritual transformation is revealed as a core concept found in all of the major ancient traditions – in both the Old World and the New World.

They spent their whole lives acquiring and consuming materials, only admitting materials and physical bodies that can be perceived through the five senses. However, some have endeavored to recognize the existence of invisible worlds, to pursue the human essence, or to discover their true selves. They call themselves “seekers of truth” or “ascetic devotees.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These “seekers of truth” or “ascetic devotees” come to understand that the human essence is a soul, which is immortal after physical death, through the teachings of spiritual teachers and their own self-awakenings. They realize that humans have repeated birth and death innumerably through reincarnations and have a feeling that only enlightenment can relieve them from the wheel of reincarnation. Therefore, they set “enlightenment” as their life goal and pursue it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their burning desires for enlightenment have brought on many controversies, including debates about what enlightenment is, and how it comes and proceeds. Some regard it as becoming a Buddha or the completion of a human being. Certain ascetic groups have categorized it into several levels according to the state of mind and body, and they say a person who is not at a certain level cannot proceed to the next one. Some ascetic devotees have categorized it into several levels according to the type of sounds heard through the ears of the mind whereas others have argued that there is no such thing as enlightenment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In spite of ongoing controversies, there is a general consensus on enlightenment among ascetic devotees. Enlightenment means the discovery of one’s inner Buddha-nature or true self through which one can obtain absolute peace of mind. It is also believed to offer one the freedom to leave the earth, enabling one to escape from reincarnation. Though there are still many controversies about the principles and operations of reincarnation, ardent wishes of ascetic devotees to escape from continuing the lives of suffering increase the attachment to enlightenment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are problems in most of the ascetic devotees’ perceptions of ascetic practice and enlightenment. First of all, they believe that ascetic practices are always good, and mundane everyday life has nothing beneficial to ascetic practice and enlightenment. However, there is no need to distinguish ascetic practice from everyday life if one agrees that the true purpose of life is to accumulate true knowing through vivid experiences. In other words, true knowing can be accumulated through not only ascetic practice but also everyday life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The characteristics of accumulated knowing differ between ascetic practice and everyday life. Among the various relationships to be learned in a life, ascetic life offers intensive learning of the relationships with the heaven, the universe, and divine providence whereas everyday life mostly provides the learning of various human relationships. From the viewpoint of spiritual growth, however, one kind of knowing is not more important than the other, and thus ascetic life is not more important than ordinary life. There are only more or less urgent experiences from the standpoint of each soul’s progress and accumulated knowing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing that ascetic devotees do not know well or misunderstand is the relationship between enlightenment and geun-gi (the original capacity to understand Buddha’s teachings), or consciousness level. Especially, most Buddhists assume that everyone has Buddha-nature and can achieve enlightenment through right practices. However, as I explained in other essays, humans are beings who become awakened little by little through numerous reincarnations. Enlightenment or the accumulation of true knowing can never be achieved at once but can only be achieved gradually through vivid experiences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes we come across a person who suddenly becomes enlightened through a special event or even without any extraordinary experience at all. Thus, we have come to think that enlightenment occurs suddenly. This idea, however, only springs from superficial observations. Sudden enlightenment may seem to exist from the viewpoint of the current life, but no such thing exists from that of long-term reincarnations. One’s enlightenment in the current life is only possible because enough knowing has been accumulated through one’s numerous past lives. One who does not have enough knowing accumulated through past lives or who has a low geun-gi cannot achieve enlightenment no matter how hard one may try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We come to realize that ascetic devotees’ attachment to enlightenment is useless if we understand enlightenment as a special spiritual experience undergone suddenly by an opportunity when one has reached a certain threshold through sufficient accumulation of true knowing. While enlightenment happens without any efforts to those who have reached the threshold or to those who are very close to it, it is only a dream to others. The dream can never come true no matter what special ascetic practices they may try. The dream of enlightenment becomes another attachment to them, which may interfere with their spiritual growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Buddha implied that a soul grows little by little through long-term reincarnations, referring to geun-gi, only few ascetic devotees seem to understand it correctly, and most Buddhist high monks seem not to try to mention it for various reasons. Thus, in the prevalence of the delusive story that anyone can achieve enlightenment through ascetic practices, sayings about the importance of ascetic practices has been passed on, being distorted and exaggerated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since enlightenment can never be achieved within a short time no matter how hard one may try, hastiness is unnecessary. Every soul grows step by step through all of the essential processes and progresses, as learning all the necessary things. If a person is ahead of me, it is because he or she has already learned what I have not, and if a person is behind me, it is because he or she is catching up with what I have already learned. There is no need to envy the souls ahead or look down on the ones behind. Everyone has his or her own path. Someday enlightenment may come naturally when true knowing is accumulated enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another reason ascetic devotees should abandon the idea of enlightenment is related with the ongoing changes of the earth. Enlightenment is a unique experience on the earth, where various souls with different levels of consciousnesses coexist. The earth has been a material planet isolated from the universe, and all of the beings reincarnated into human bodies have had tough and vivid experiences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, the earth is going through great changes, and its characteristics will completely change. Up to now, the earth as a special learning place and an isolated planet has been closed to outer space in principle. However, human beings—who are to be reborn—will be true “cosmic humans,” using various communication channels and freely interacting with beings in outer space. Thus, the reincarnation system, which prevented the souls from leaving the earth, will no longer exist, and enjoying absolute freedom by escaping from the earth will no longer be limited to the enlightened beings. In other words, enlightenment—a special event in spiritual growth that has been very meaningful to the souls on the earth—will completely lose its significance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the new era comes, words such as ascetic practice and enlightenment will gradually disappear. As everyday life becomes like ascetic practice and vice versa, there will be no need to talk about ascetic practice anymore. Moreover, as most people on the earth transform themselves into true “cosmic humans,” enlightenment will no longer have a special meaning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we are living in a period when everything is changing rapidly. Though it is true that everything in the universe keeps changing, the earth at the moment is particularly undergoing special changes which have never occurred since the start of modern civilization. They will start with energy changes and continue on to physical ones. Meanwhile, the meanings and significances of many teachings which have been regarded as orthodox are changing. As time goes by, teachings in the past will lose their significances, and the teachings of great saints, which many people have assumed as eternal truth, will be interpreted differently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the perspective beyond the Buddhist or Christian frameworks, the teachings of one of the most exemplary saints on the earth—Buddha or Jesus Christ—are also dependent on the period. Each man delivered his messages most suitable to the situations at that time and offered teachings that can effectively lead the people of that specific period. However, they never showed the whole picture of the universe, and not all of their teachings contain absolute value that is timeless. The most essential messages to us at this moment are not the ones from the saints one hundred, one thousand, or two thousand years ago, but the ones given by the universe right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many ascetic devotees still adhere to traditional teachings and orthodox practices. It is rational for one to follow the teachings that have been established for a long time rather than those that are new and unproven. However, the most important thing for ascetic devotees is flexible thinking and open-mindedness. It is not appropriate to stick to “orthodox” views and regard the others as heresy or wrong while recognizing that everything is changing. When we adhere to “orthodox” views, we can never escape from our own frameworks and egotism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the earth changes, many messages are now delivered to us through various channels. Many messages are the same, but there are also many messages that contradict one another. Blindly believing these messages may bring one to great confusion, but this can be avoided by using one’s inner guide system. People who can sense gi (subtle energy) can feel the energy from the messages while others can listen to their inner feelings. When someone speaks of cosmic truth, we feel touched and resonate with it. Otherwise, we only feel coldheartedness and emptiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many beings that have come to the earth for the earth’s Great Change have begun to awaken, and some of them have started their tasks, delivering messages from the universe. We can feel who the true workers are through our feelings or the energy that our bodies perceive. It is never appropriate to close one’s heart and distrust them for the reason that their teachings, words, and behaviors are different from those of traditional ascetic devotees or saints. Their levels of consciousnesses may be much higher than those of the traditional holy people. Sensing with your inner feelings and body before judging with your head is required of all the courageous souls in the earth that have chosen to live in this special period. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/2012-apocalypse-galactic-alignments-in.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-apocalypse-galactic-alignments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-5461685580165307152?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/5461685580165307152/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=5461685580165307152' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/5461685580165307152'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/5461685580165307152'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/2012-apocalypse-why-enlightenment-no.html' title='2012 Apocalypse : Why Enlightenment No Longer Matters?'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-1460290291164241010</id><published>2009-03-13T00:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-12-20T18:30:00.497-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>2012 : Toward the Consciousness of the Wholeness</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;2012 : Toward the Consciousness of the Wholeness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though I have felt for long that I have already given up human ways of life, the moments that I have spent for the last five months would be puzzling from anyone’s perspective. The special journey, which I have not expected at all, and the change of consciousness induced by it were never easy or restful, but they caused an inner change that was beyond my imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One afternoon in early April, never having had any expectation or anticipation, I encountered a message that said, “Leave immediately!” With a strong feeling that I should do so, I boarded the flight to New Zealand with almost nothing in hand, neither having prepared for the trip nor having received any information about it. I left Incheon International Airport at that night without informing even those closest to me, let alone the university, and in the next morning arrived at Auckland International Airport in New Zealand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As my aura field encompassing my body has been undergoing a great change for quite a while, I have been experiencing more and more physical pain because of people’s negative waves. After I arrived in New Zealand, such process grew more profoundly, thereby leading to a state where I became very sensitive to the surrounding energy. Thus, I began to instinctively avoid the energy released by people and animals and also started to worry seriously about how I am to live without any contact with the human world. Because of the waves greatly released by mass media, I could not think about watching TV, reading a newspaper, or surfing the Internet, and I entered a state where I could not but completely entrust running my website to other people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a country where energy pollution caused by humans is incomparably less pervasive than any other countries, New Zealand is a treasure house of energy where pure energy is left here and there. However, since it is also a place where people live, negative waves generated by human minds were polluting the surroundings and their livestock. Such negative waves were severe enough to instantly hurt and paralyze my body, so I could not help avoiding places where people gather. Furthermore, while driving, I was greatly hurt owing to the waves released by the vehicles running at the front and rear of my car or those approaching from the opposite direction. Wherever I went, I felt uncomfortable because of the energy absorbed at places and in space where people had slept or sat. I could not but live almost like a recluse who could not sleep or eat where people could do, and I needed to totally avoid places where they were active.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Zealand is comprised of the North island and the South island; a lake located in the South island holds very pure and special energy. Because one has to drive awhile on unpaved roads of the ranches with grazing cattle and sheep, it is a secluded place where hardly anyone can be found even in the daytime. I stayed near the lake for two weeks to purify my body, especially the accumulated human emotions. My daily routine consisted of walking to the lake in the morning, spending time there, and returning to the lodge in the evening. However, while staying near the lake or on the trail by the lake, when I came across even one approaching car or person, I was very startled and worried about which woods to hide in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my stay there my body became more sensitive, but simultaneously the change of my consciousness was proceeding. As I received the pure and special energy hidden in New Zealand, my human emotions accumulated during the past lives, let alone this life, resolved. I turned to a state where I felt the wholeness, steadily distancing from the separate consciousness stemmed from an entity called “I”. Hence, as I began to realize that everything is one, I gradually became free from the pain originated from the negative waves of other beings. Particularly, as I started to feel clearly the moments that I have lived throughout, recognizing myself as “Prof. Jang,” were an illusion, my consciousness slowly began to remain in the wholeness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My change is not yet complete, but I have changed enough to live a new way of life, and my consciousness has transformed to one that always feels the wholeness, escaping from the illusion of separation. Such change is happening not only to me but also to many beings who sympathize with the Gaia Project, but my change may be felt more dramatic than that of others. Not needing to mind the physical events and their courses, you can certainly feel the Gaia Project and its process if you take a look back on the changes of yourself and the people around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the sudden stop of my lectures last semester because of the trip to New Zealand, through the efforts of my fellow faculty members, I happened to lecture again this semester. Currently, the most important thing not only to me but also to everyone who agrees to the purpose of this website and resonates with the Gaia Project is as follows. Within the consciousness that “we are all one,” look deep into your self and accept everything happening to you without any reservation. However difficult the things happening may be felt, you will understand and accept them and even feel harmony in them if you watch the things happening, staying in the consciousness of the wholeness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/recent-operations-of-ufos.html"&gt;recent-operations-of-UFO's&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-1460290291164241010?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/1460290291164241010/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=1460290291164241010' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/1460290291164241010'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/1460290291164241010'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/2012-toward-consciousness-of-wholeness.html' title='2012 : Toward the Consciousness of the Wholeness'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-5382464193107650869</id><published>2009-03-13T00:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-12-21T00:35:04.146-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>Recent Operations of UFOs</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;Recent Operations of UFOs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday’s news (October 10) of Seoul, Korea reported the sightings of hundreds of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) hovering over Gwanghwamun Street, the central business district of Seoul, for thirty minutes before vanishing. A video clip taken by a UFO expert photographer also appeared in the news. Although the media cautiously covered the incident because it was conscious of controversies that may be stirred up by certain groups regarding the UFOs’ validity, I felt the UFOs on the video were real, considering the movements demonstrated and the energies emanated from them. I feel that UFOs started trying to show their existence purposefully to the general public, contrary to the past. This mass appearance of UFOs is the second occurrence since they were seen flying in formation, witnessed in Mexico in June of this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The majority of people still deny the existence of UFOs, and I myself was skeptical as well until a few years ago. One day, however, I found myself accepting the existence of UFOs naturally without a doubt. It was last summer when I first started to discover UFOs in the sky. Lying down on the ground of an island near Tong-yoeng Beach in Korea, I started to distinguish between the stars and the other objects in the sky, with the help from a person whose hobby was observing UFOs every night. Among the objects, I found many “special stars” showing such movements only possible to UFOs. I also heard a lot of information by communicating with the UFO crews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the moment, there are numerous UFOs in the sky. They vary greatly in their shapes, duties, and original dimensions. Many of them came from the fifth dimension or higher whereas others came from the third or the fourth dimensions. Also, most UFOs are here to carry out their tasks related with the Gaia Project (“UFO Guides”). These UFOs or space vehicles are of different shapes and sizes, depending on where they come from and what they do. They range from gigantic-sized ones similar to those seen in the movie Independence Day to smaller ones holding one or two beings. As to the UFO Guides, some of them oversee heavily populated regions respectively while others patrol around several regions. The UFO in charge of the entire Korean peninsula is stationed in a particular area, and it communicates with and controls all UFO Guides around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because UFOs are originally non-material, human eyes cannot see them unless they transform themselves into third-dimensional materials. Thus, the UFOs in the earth’s sky have not been witnessed by the general public except for special cases. In this regard, the hundreds of UFOs seen in the sky above Gwanghwamun Street a few days ago seem to have had the intention of demonstrating their existence. Their appearance may well be pertained to the Gaia Project, and I expect that there will be more purposeful UFO appearances like this one in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recent appearances of UFOs seem to be related to last month’s shutdown of the spiritual world of the earth and the souls’ boarding the UFOs. Since early 2005, beings who left their physical bodies were prohibited to enter the spiritual world. Instead of going back to the spiritual world, they went through a purification process and then waited for departure to outer space. In other words, after physical death, beings “burned” massive negative and emotional energy accumulated through reincarnations on the earth and then were waiting on the UFOs in the earth’s sky. Recently, an order to board the stand-by UFOs were given to the souls hanging around in the material world after their physical deaths. Thus, the UFOs carrying souls have begun to leave for their own destinations since early October. The huge exodus of beings that had stayed on the earth finally began. The mass emigration of most of the souls in the earth—one of the key events of the earth’s Great Change that is to happen for the next few years— has just begun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now everything is progressing very quickly and the speed of the progress will grow faster and faster to the degree for us to feel bewildered. It is important for all humans on the earth to realize what period we are living in and to live with the understanding of the Gaia Project and its progress. Moreover, we need to have an open mind accepting every possibility and an attitude calmly observing things happening to us. Those who are ready will experience the dramatic growth of their consciousnesses as they go through the earth’s Great Change. After leaving their physical bodies, they will undergo a purification process and will leave the earth for outer space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the Project Guides must carry out their individual tasks before the death of their physical bodies and thus need to purify themselves first before starting the tasks. The most important aspect in the course of purification is releasing all egotistic traits and preconceived notions accumulated so far. For some Guides, this process can be felt easy while for others it may be experienced very harshly. The extent of difficulties depends on how much preconceived notions one has accumulated during the many lives, especially the present life, on the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever happens or comes in the future, there is nothing to worry about or to be afraid of. Do not judge everything happening to you with your head, but just accept it. The Gaia Project is proceeding with full preparation and careful concern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/expansion-of-consciousness-toward-multi.html"&gt;expansion-of-consciousness-toward-multidimensional &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-5382464193107650869?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/5382464193107650869/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=5382464193107650869' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/5382464193107650869'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/5382464193107650869'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/recent-operations-of-ufos.html' title='Recent Operations of UFOs'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-3244882373805316768</id><published>2009-03-13T00:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T20:21:00.109-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Expansion of Consciousness toward Multi-dimensional Universe-2</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;The Expansion of Consciousness toward Multi-dimensional Universe-2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I have met many people with great spiritual abilities, including those with some extraordinary capabilities, one person was the key to shake my whole life and to have me make a quantum leap toward the multi-dimensional universe. I mentioned this person in one of my essays titled “Observing a Person’s Enlightenment” [on the Korean website]. As we shared diverse experiences during the first few months since the summer of 2002 and afterward, I began to open my eyes to more concrete knowledge of life, the universe, and the earth’s Great Change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, by watching this person shift to the consciousness of a particular past life and re-enact an event and a conversation at that time, and by knowing my relationship with this person during my past lives, I started to understand the connection between this life and the past lives. Contrary to the belief that most people on the path hold, memories of the past lives are not something irrelevant to the present life, but are something closely related to this very moment, actively influencing it in full force.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At times, this person told me about the state of my mind or body and the future events by reading my body energy or my iris. This person also channeled messages from higher dimensional entities to me about my true identity. I heard about various elaborate devices built in the human energy body, including antenna systems for communicating with Pleiades or Sirius. I also heard about various special cosmic information as follows: the scenes at the elderly’s committee meeting at Sirius; stories about our meetings in the universe; stories about visiting the cosmic libraries classified by levels for the preparation for life on the earth after deciding the subject matter of learning; the information that enlightenment is the crux of the training method put forward by the star where the being that reincarnated as Buddha resides; the information that there are formulae for material manifestation; and the number of cosmic entities visiting the earth for the Great Change. All this information went far beyond my consciousness at that time, but I felt it was something I could not just ignore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many parts of the messages and information I received then were later reconfirmed one by one through information gathered from past life regressions experienced by many people. Many of them unanimously confirmed that my higher self is located at Sirius. While some even clearly recalled meeting me at the office of Twin Tower in Sirius, most of them quite specifically remembered meeting me in the universe. One person vividly recalled that she was a conscious entity at a star far away from the earth, and when she met me, who was then recruiting workers for the project of the earth’s Great Change, she volunteered for the project. She also recalled that, after coming to the earth via the Andromeda galaxy, she lived in Lemuria, Atlantis, and many other countries. Many remembered that before moving into the earth, they had undergone a preparation process in Sirius or Pleiades for entering the earth. They also recalled the image of my reiterating the significance of the Gaia Project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In June of 2004, I met a person who can connect to any entity in the universe. Many dialogues with cosmic entities through this person, along with the information gathered from past life regressions, allowed me to reconfirm what I have sorted out with my own intuition and feelings. Since then, I have had conversations with my higher self in Sirius, one of the administrators of our galaxy, and the administrator’s assistant. I have also observed some “Guides” converse with their higher selves in the universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After going through this process, my consciousness is now almost always residing in the universe, feeling as if the stories about the universe and the earth’s Great Change were those of my next-door neighbor. Most people who first read my writings will take them for the wildest dreams coming from muddled consciousness, but I say with a clearer consciousness than anyone else that the earth’s Great Change planned long ago by the universe is now unfolding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The universe is spread almost limitlessly up to the tenth dimension, and differences in vibration frequency separate each dimension. Different dimensions mean totally different worlds. Every entity in the universe leads its life under a definite hierarchy based on the principles and plans of respective dimension, galaxy, star, and planet. There may be some frictions between dimensions or galaxies, but lower dimensions cannot go astray from the plans and adjustments made by higher dimensions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably, people have had no such diverse experiences as I have had so far. Even if they had some, they might not have expanded their consciousnesses, which are full of preconceived notions, toward the multi-dimensional universe. Until only a few centuries ago, humans had thought that the sun was revolving around the earth, putting everything into earth-centric, anthropocentric perspectives. Thanks to the progress made in cosmological sciences, fragmental pieces of information on the universe have been accumulated, and some notable novelists and artists with expanded consciousnesses have created copious novels and movies. Despite these works, however, few seem able to imagine the multi-dimensional universe unfolding layers upon layers. The consciousnesses of most people, including those of religious leaders, still largely remain at the domain of debating whether there are intelligent extraterrestrials or whether UFOs really come from outer space, admitting the existence of the invisible world at best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world that people and established religions have heretofore talked about is mostly limited to the third- and the fourth-dimensional worlds surrounding the earth. The third dimension represents the material part of the earth perceptible with the five senses; the fourth dimension, closely related to the third dimension, is a world that includes the world of life after death (the spiritual world), or what has often been called the heaven, and the energy world (or the world of thought forms and ghosts) created and influenced by human consciousness. While the advance of modern science has prompted religious and spiritual leaders to mention the universe more frequently, they seem to have just replaced the word “heaven” with “the universe,” hardly appreciating the difference between the two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, it is quite unlikely that most people, whose consciousnesses stay in the third or fourth dimensions, or the earthly realm, will comprehend the multi-dimensional universe. It is even more unlikely that they will understand or accept a certain project, which is planned in the higher dimensional universe, is now being carried out on the earth. If anyone finds the story about the multi-dimensional universe easily acceptable, he or she may be one of those with the memories of life in the outer space of the fifth dimension or higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The earth’s Great Change signifies the ascension of the earth into the fifth dimension, meaning that humans, animals, and plants will have vibrations not lower than the fifth dimension. Hence, as the Great Change is well underway now, the human race must face the absolute necessity to raise their consciousnesses to the fifth dimension or higher. However, almost all spiritual practices on the earth—including ascetic practices related with meditation, and Taoist exercises focusing on building up lower or middle chakra—stop short of moving beyond the realm of the mind. Thus, they cannot transcend the vibrations of the fourth dimension. Most ascetic devotees and seekers of truth have regarded clearing one’s mind through these practices as consciousness ascension, but this is true only in a limited sense. For example, methods of spiritual practice focusing on the mind can be considered a fourth-dimensional one surpassing the third-dimensional material world by opening up the fourth-dimensional heart chakra. While these practices may lead one to experience so-called enlightenment, they will not lead one to raise one’s consciousness to the fifth dimension or higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elevating one’s consciousness is not achieved by arduously clearing and emptying one’s mind, but it occurs naturally with the expansion of consciousness—that is, the expansion of awareness. Our consciousnesses expand first by recognizing the existence of the world imperceptible to the five senses and then by becoming firmly aware of the fact that our material world is but a tiny fraction of the multi-dimensionally layered universe. When we gradually remove the thought that I, our society, our nation, or our earth is at the center of the universe, our consciousnesses can make a quantum leap forward. The further we are from egocentric thoughts, the more our consciousnesses can expand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shifting from earthly consciousness to universal consciousness is crucial for everyone living on the earth now. This task of moving forward is even more crucial especially for those remaining in the fourth-dimensional consciousness, namely, ascetic devotees or truth seekers who are aware of imperceptible non-material world but still hold earth-centric viewpoints. Through the earth’s coming Great Change, they may ascend to the fifth dimension, or they may stay in the fourth-dimensional consciousness. Those who ascend to the fifth dimension through consciousness expansion can choose either to remain in the newly-born earth or to move to another fifth dimensional star.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In front of the human race await a series of amazing physical changes that will topple preexistent notions and knowledge. For the next seven to eight years, physical changes of unimaginable proportions will proceed in stages. Those who see these changes with open-mindedness will begin to comprehend that these events happen not by accident but by plans arranged in the higher dimensional universe. We will see what the purpose of the earth’s Great Change is and understand why all the authorities and orders currently existing on the earth should collapse. Through this process, many people will leap forward to cosmic consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up to now, the earth has served as a special training field for self-learning through experiences, so all experiences have been precious to us. From now on, however, we are short on time for cherishing any further experience. We need a cosmic perspective that does not get blinded by spiritual organizations still submerged in earth-centric thoughts and that is free from preconceived notions and views oneself and the society impartially. This will be the only preparation, along with an open mind, required of all spiritual seekers of this period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/2012-toward-consciousness-of-wholeness.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-toward-consciousness-of-wholeness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-3244882373805316768?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/3244882373805316768/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=3244882373805316768' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/3244882373805316768'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/3244882373805316768'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/expansion-of-consciousness-toward-multi.html' title='The Expansion of Consciousness toward Multi-dimensional Universe-2'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-4426320206617550834</id><published>2009-03-13T00:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T20:22:30.290-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='project gaia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>Memories of Lemuria-1</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Memories of Lemuria-1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike other festive days, last Lunar New Year’s Day had a new meaning to me. I have not been attending the ancestral memorial services for years under the pretext that I need not aggravate the traffic congestion caused by people’s traveling to their hometown on festive holidays. Nevertheless, I used to say hello to my siblings on the phone around the Harvest Moon Festival (Korean Thanksgiving) or Lunar New Year’s Day. On this Lunar New Year’s Day, however, even such phone calls disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I experienced fundamental changes of body and mind years ago, my human relationship naturally came to be newly arranged even though I made no intentional attempts for any change. My human relationships began to change as I neither felt anything special about my family and siblings nor felt the importance of friends and relatives. In this process, I experienced the collapse of the long-lasted framework of family, naturally became distant from my siblings, and hardly contacted or met my friends and relatives. Because my view on life has become very different and my interests have completely changed, a meaningful conversation with them became impossible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who have seen my changes have been saying things to me, such as “Where did your affectionate personality go?”; “How could you do this to me?”; “Aren’t you being preoccupied?”; “Is that really an attitude of a person who pursues do (or Tao; literally, the way)?” The closer people were to me, the harder it was for them to accept my changes. Thus, they were more frustrated than others. My internal changes, however, were too resolute and fundamental for me to be concerned about other people’s thoughts or feelings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking back, I myself was also surprised by my abruptly changing traits that began to appear two or three months after I first began gi practice. I thought to myself, “If I change this way, it will be hard for me to make a living in the future!” However, this fear was momentary. Thereafter, never did I worry about my change and future, nor did I have a conflicting mind caused by the concerns of people around me. Not even having the slightest thought of trying to change my relationship with others in any way, I experienced that my human relationships changed naturally. In that course, I had no regret or remorse. All changes proceeded very smoothly, and I used to discover myself accepting them with an easy mind without any emotional stir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, most people who are spiritually awakening now, particularly those who have very high consciousnesses, are experiencing great emotional conflicts to different extents. They discover a new world as their spirituality is awakened through various opportunities, but they undergo serious struggle, realizing how hard it is to pursue spirituality in a material civilization. What they have been doing seems all trivial, and what they used to have fun with have no interest for them any more. While they realize that they can no longer communicate with people to whom they were close with, they cannot easily find a new conversational partner. Also, they come to encounter economic hardship as they no longer find any meaning from the pursuit of material things, which have always been felt difficult to do. Surrounded by the high walls of reality, they find themselves in a dilemma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In dealing with the above problems, many religious or spiritual leaders have argued for being in harmony with reality. They say that it is a very selfish deed deviating from human obligation to be at odds with people around you and to avoid emotional or economic responsibilities by pursuing do. Depending on one’s level of consciousness, people may well feel and perceive life differently. It is very natural for religious leaders to consider the harmony between spirituality and reality important since their perceptions still remain in the material world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who know the essence of life and have certainly realized that humans are spiritual beings can understand that harmony with reality actually means making a compromise with reality, which indicates conceding or yielding to reality. If humans are spiritual beings for sure, it is reasonable to prioritize the growth of one’s spirit. However, if one keeps on pursuing material things in the name of harmony with reality, this deed cannot be regarded as harmony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason some truth seekers are greatly in conflict with reality is that either their practices have not reached a sufficiently high level or their spiritual awakenings are still in progress. From the viewpoint of consciousness level, being awakened means that one’s current consciousness is elevated to the level of one’s knowing that was accumulated through many past lives, or to one’s innate level of consciousness. It also indicates that one surely knows the meaning of one’s existence. Awakening usually progresses through many stages during a long period. At the early stage, consciousness or perception expands through daily life or ascetic practice. This expansion occurs as one’s focus of consciousness expands from oneself to the neighbors, human beings, and to the universe and from material to non-material things. Afterward, one realizes that everything in the universe is all one, and one’s eyes begin to open to the truth of life and the universe. Also, one vaguely starts to know about one’s existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;A complete awakening includes a clear awareness of one’s existence. Humans have a great amount of memories accumulated through many past lives. These memories are not merely remnants of the past but are live energies that have great influences on each person at this moment. Since humans are essentially beings that respond based on the memories of many experiences, knowing oneself or being awakened means realizing what past lives one had in the universe and on the earth, in addition to knowing one’s future direction. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/expansion-of-consciousness-toward-multi.html"&gt;expansion-of-consciousness-toward-multi dimensional&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-4426320206617550834?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/4426320206617550834/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=4426320206617550834' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/4426320206617550834'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/4426320206617550834'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/memories-of-lemuria-1.html' title='Memories of Lemuria-1'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-4702825751615066269</id><published>2009-03-13T00:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-14T23:37:45.131-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>Liberation from Human</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Liberation from Human&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;We all know what kind of beings humans are without having to quote famous philosophers and saints. They are beings who judge things with their own frameworks and experience diverse emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure, trying to achieve things to satisfy various desires that are coupled with the feeling of deficiency. While humans struggle to satisfy animal instincts or desires like other life forms, they also show a very noble nature that leap beyond animal instincts. For example, they think, imagine, or doubt the meaning of life, the true nature of humans, and the unfolded universe. Sometimes, they help other people or other life forms unconditionally. Thus, humans are really incomprehensible and are special beings with a mysterious combination of animal instincts and divine nature.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, despite a great deal of studies and pursuits by scholars, religionists, and people on the path, studies on human beings do not seem to have made much progress. They have presented quite a good understanding of human characteristics revealed externally, but they have failed to understand the true nature of humans. It is because their obsessions with the external human appearances and forms kept them from accepting the fact that the human essence is soul, which is non-material. It is also because they basically assume that the essence of humans and animals is fundamentally different—an assumption induced by the assurance of human superiority to animals and plants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As described in the book The Gaia Project, the human essence is consciousness or soul and is not different from other life forms. Every being is created by the first consciousness in the universe as a form of consciousness or soul. Each is characterized by the information endowed at the moment of creation and the memories accumulated through numerous experiences thereafter. Therefore, from the viewpoint of essence, each being is not distinguished by their current appearances and forms, but by the quantity and quality of the information they memorize. In other words, there is no human essence distinguishable from that of other life forms. Thus, the essence of humans can not be discussed separately from that of other beings and life forms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once a consciousness or soul is incarnated into a materialized life form, it shows the characteristics appropriate to the role given to each life form. Hence, each animal and plant shows its own characteristics unique to its species while a human being shows human characteristics. Namely, in this material earth, depending on the material shell into which a certain being is incarnated, beings are distinguished into humans, animals, or plants, and each accordingly shows different characteristics. Of course, even among humans, they show almost infinite differences depending on their life plans as well as the information they have as a consciousness or soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, people have not known this fact. They have assumed the external characteristics of animals, plants, and humans to be their essence respectively. As for humans, people have regarded the mysterious combination of physical and non-physical traits as their original features or nature. They have also understood that human characteristics reveal diverse aspects, besides animal instincts, such as selfishness, jealousy, desire for control, longing for fame, being faithful to one another, human love, care, and mercy. However, these characteristics are shown because diverse consciousnesses or souls incarnated into human material shells. Thus, from the perspective of essence, they can all be called human disguises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a teenager, I was fascinated by the phrase “human, all too human” written by an author and used to murmur it for a while. Thinking and acting humanly by living as a human being seemed really wonderful to me at that time. I had a very “sound” thought that humans should pursue physical instinct and human nobility since we have physical bodies like any other animals as well as innate human dignity. It will not be desirable to stick to animal instincts since we are humans, nor will it be genuine to try to speak and act too elegantly while one ignores physical instincts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though I had such perspective on humans, now I feel that I am at my last stage to release my human disguise. Observing unexpected fundamental changes of my body and mind, which are described in my past writings, I came to realize that the very “human thoughts” I had as a teenager were far from truth. As I started to learn the true world one by one, I came to understand that most of the so-called human characteristics originated from the human body. Hence, I went through the process of distancing myself from them, namely, a de-humanizing process. Humans are spiritual beings in essence, and thus freeing oneself from physical characteristics means getting nearer to one’s essence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually, I rarely have dreams, and even if I have one, I do not remember it well. However, the dream I had a few days ago was relatively vivid, and I could remember the details. There were two important characters in addition to myself. One was the Korean professor whom I met when I was a graduate student in the US. I maintained a close relationship with him even after achieving my degree. However, I hardly contacted him after my experiencing fundamental changes and even less so nowadays. The other was my fellow professor who tries to help me a lot from a human perspective. In that dream, the former hoping I would visit him again was delighted when I actually showed up. The latter tried to help me greatly also in the dream. The dream can be interpreted to indicate that I need to reflect upon myself who have become indifferent, not keeping in touch with most of my long-term acquaintances, including my siblings, friends, and neighbors for the past five or six years. To me, however, it was a message telling me to be prepared to release even the remainder of my human aspects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those whose consciousnesses are totally embedded in material things, or who have certain frameworks of spiritual path will disapprove the idea of being free from human traits and condemn it as being immoral or anti-ethical. However, people who have interests in spiritual paths and even a little understanding of enlightenment will not oppose to getting away from human traits. Those who have become a true enlightened person, after realizing the truth of life and the universe, will stay indifferent, being free from human characteristics like attachment and discernment in particular. They will no longer act or speak like typical humans. Thus, it is nonsense to demand human duties or expect human affection from them and to condemn them for being immoral or anti-ethical. Being free from human disguise is equal to becoming a truly enlightened person, to being free from the material consciousness of the third dimension, and to being reborn into a true Guide if one has a task related with the Gaia Project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the Guides of the Gaia Project are awakening collectively, experiencing various energy changes. Through this process, each Guide will be totally or almost free from human disguise. This is because they can carry out their tasks impartially only when they are reborn as a different being. If you find yourself emphasizing closeness in human relations, valuing human obligations, and pursuing human tastes, you should know that you are attached to the third-dimensional consciousness. So far, the seekers of truth assumed that in order to be enlightened, one has to be free from attachment and discernment. At this point, however, one has to go beyond and be prepared for the earth’s Great Change, being free from the material dimension. Also, one has to be reborn into a true “cosmic citizen” with a cosmic perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are in the last hours on the earth. Many social chaos and natural disasters are around the corner (&lt;b&gt;2012 Apocalypse)&lt;/b&gt;. Whether you have tasks related with the Gaia Project or not, the time to proceed toward humanity has already ended. Now is the time necessary to clearly recognize first that you have been living in a material shell and to mentally prepare to take off the shell anytime when the time comes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-4702825751615066269?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/4702825751615066269/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=4702825751615066269' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/4702825751615066269'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/4702825751615066269'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/liberation-from-human.html' title='Liberation from Human'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-8962477616782522382</id><published>2009-03-13T00:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-27T15:24:43.834-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>Finding Messages from the Moments of Life</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;Finding Messages from the Moments of Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 APOCALYPSE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each individual perceives the world differently in spite of possessing identical sensory organs. While reading a newspaper or watching a TV program, people only receive the information interesting to them because of the filtering function of their minds. The information that one is not interested in or does not believe neither catches one’s sight nor falls on one’s ears. Also, views on how things in the world proceed can be very different even though they face the same information in similar circumstances. Especially, their different consciousness levels make them understand an identical event completely differently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although people perceive and interpret the world differently according to their existing knowledge, notions, and consciousness levels, their world views can be divided into three types as follows. The first type tries to find the cause of every phenomenon from material things. The “ordinary” people whose consciousnesses stay in the material world possess viewpoints that belong to this type. From their viewpoints, there are mysterious phenomena in the world and unanswerable fundamental questions in life. They cannot figure out why they were born of their biological parents, and why they have to live such harsh lives while others enjoy their entire lives with fame and fortune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second type sees the world with the perception of the invisible world of gi or energy. The views of many contemporary spiritual leaders, including those of the New Age ones, belong here. Especially, the majority of the people with out-of-body experiences or spiritual faculties have this perspective. Based on their own sense of gi, many mysterious experiences, flashing images and vivid impressions, or out-of-body traveling experiences, they talk about the fundamental energy world unfolding beyond the material world. They clearly understand that the world continuously changes by the opposition, collision, and harmony of yin and yang, light and dark, or good and evil energies. They say that in the universe not only the visible material world exists, unfolding horizontally, but also different worlds of diverse dimensions beyond imagination unfold endlessly while overlapping one another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through their experiences, these people perceive that humans are beings that exist beyond birth and death. They understand that there are energies behind everything happening in the material world and that these energies can be changed and controlled by human minds. Also, life is created and selected by one’s mind, and the world is created by people. Hence, it is always essential to keep a proper state of mind, and one should be responsible in any way for the negative energy created by oneself. Moreover, they tend to see the world with a dualistic view, to stress karma, and to justify punishment brought on by sin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consequently, those that see and interpret life from the perspective of energy have a much broader view on life than the ones tied up in material perspective, and they accept what others regard as nonsensical stories. Even to them, however, many things in life still remain as unsolved questions. As mentioned earlier, life is thought to be created by mind, but they wonder why their own lives do not unfold as they intend. They are curious why a person’s future is not realized as predicted by clairvoyance. Also, they cannot easily understand why divine providence put the world in disorder by creating negative energy, or dark energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third type views the world as a field for experiences and regard humans as beings that experience by acting out their scenarios on stage. The world consists of the material world perceptible by the fives senses and the more essential energy world. Besides, everything in the world proceeds according to diverse levels of scenarios. Usually, this type of view is held by those who look back on their lives after a long period of ascetic practices and by those who realize that their lives, which seem to progress by their own will or choices, have actually progressed by certain invisible power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A majority of people cannot easily accept the third type because they have vivid feelings that every moment of their lives is created and decided by themselves, and they tend to identify the value of humans with free will. However, recollecting that some accidental incidents or situations have unexpectedly turned the directions of their lives, they come to feel that their current lives have proceeded according to scenarios planned long time ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People with this perspective certainly feel that life does not advance according to one’s will or choice though they know well that energy is more essential than material, and our minds can change energy. They understand that the energy world sensible to people with spiritual abilities or to out-of-body travelers is just a small part of the invisible world in most cases and that it is usually limited to the low dimensional realm. They also know that the world that can be changed by our minds is limited to the fourth-dimensional astral world. On the other hand, they come to feel that the scenario of one’s life, which cannot be changed by one’s free will, and the collisions and oppositions constantly occurring in the material and the energy worlds have been planned in the higher dimension for experiences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who see life from this level often find the existence of another self watching everything while they experience vivid sensations and emotions. Also, they may experience the moments when everything happening now feels like a hologram or an illusion. When beginning to see life in this way, one comes to feel clearly that life is a vivid play for experience. Thus, one lives by surrendering oneself to divine providence or lives according to the life planned by his or her Higher Self. This is the life of wu-wei (??, doing nothing unnatural or artificial) that Lao-tzu spoke of and the life of Jesus Christ who prayed to God to be in his will rather than his own one until the last moment. Also, it is also the life of Buddha, who said that life is a maya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the beginning, people who think anything can be accomplished through the power of mind, especially those who work as healers using their open senses and spiritual abilities, usually have the viewpoint that one builds one’s own life. As time goes by, however, their viewpoint turns to the third type. As their healing experiences accumulate, they realize that their healing abilities are given for their roles and that they themselves are not more than an instrument of divine providence. For example, even a renowned doctor cannot cure a chronic disease until the patient undergoes sufficient experiences; if a patient is cured, it is not because the healer cured him or her, but because it is time for the patient to be healed. They realize that the experiences one undergoes in life are those planned ahead because of necessity. They also come to realize that the experiences cannot be avoided easily, nor is it desirable for people to try to avoid them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who become aware that life proceeds by a predetermined scenario rather than continuous events that happen by accident find hints for the future often in their present lives. As one can find a presage of the protagonist’s future in a novel, a play, or a movie, various hints on the future are given in one’s everyday life. One submerged in one’s diverse emotions that arise every moment will have difficulty in finding these kinds of hints or messages whereas one who observes oneself or is awakened will find them relatively easily. Especially, it is common that comparatively strong messages are given to a person who encounters a turning point in one’s life. These messages are revealed in diverse ways as follows: on signboards suddenly noticeable, in eye-catching newspaper articles, TV news, or contents of books, in a special encounter with a person, in extraordinary dreams, in special experiences (for example, past life regression), or in an encounter with a special number.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some spiritual devotees never overlook the numbers encountered in their everyday lives. For instance, they never ignore a noticeable number plate of the car ahead of them while they are driving or the numbers on a clock or a scoreboard at a specific moment. It may seem unreasonable to find a message from all numbers while one does not know all the meanings of the numbers. However, such behavior is natural for those who perceive that one’s life, the earth, the sun, and the whole universe are moving according to respective plans. If one understands that messages are incessantly delivered during one’s life and that, especially, important ones are repeatedly delivered through various channels, it is desirable to look back on one’s own path or prepare for the future by listening to the messages sensed at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People who discover messages in their lives do their best in work and accept the results of their work naturally. Knowing well that it is meaningless to achieve or improve something by their will, they no longer care about the results. Instead, they regard the results as a message foreshadowing the direction of the future. Also, they gradually distance themselves from the lives subject to instant changes of joy and grief. Though emotions may arise at the moment when certain event happens, they are free from the emotions the second they realize the message of the event. If one perceives that everything in the universe changes according to its respective plans, life itself may be felt as an amusing puzzle game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this time when social confusions are aggravating, it is meaningful to examine closely the events and phenomena that have happened to each of us, our country, and the whole world during the past few years. If it is hard to understand why certain events happened to yourself or the society, you can regard them as the release of built-up emotional energy or relate it to the “story” of the earth’s Great Change. Perhaps, you may be thrilled to realize that divine providence has prepared the opening of the new world one by one without attracting most of the people’s attentions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accepting life as a message is required of all human beings living in this special period of time. It is important to recognize the scenario behind the phenomena for oneself instead of being frustrated or angry while one experiences the unexpected phenomena or events individually or socially. When we properly perceive what is happening to the universe and our own lives as soon as possible, we can calmly accept everything and our consciousnesses can leap forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 APOCALYPSE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-8962477616782522382?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/8962477616782522382/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=8962477616782522382' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/8962477616782522382'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/8962477616782522382'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/finding-messages-from-moments-of-life.html' title='Finding Messages from the Moments of Life'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-8912750770369957764</id><published>2009-03-13T00:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-02-07T04:15:33.466-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>The Physics of 2012 Apocalypse</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;The Physics of 2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;If the &lt;/span&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt; is real, it appears to be more complicated than some assume. The Shift may in fact be more the dimensional effect of a broad wave whose central peak resides on or after &lt;/span&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;, whereby the years immediately before and after the peak might be just as significant. What does the Shift entail? As best as I can tell, it is an ungluing of our consensual collective reality so that the dissonant sectors of the population can diverge onto separate time streams, and then into separate realms of existence altogether. It is a higher degree expression of the same Realm Dynamics underlying our daily experiences. At the moment we all share the same planet, and separation among people of incompatible learning paths amounts to geographic separation at best, but more usually involves a simple synchronistic barrier between them so that they rarely cross paths in life. between dissonant population sectors grow, and as conditions on this planet increasingly leave less room for everyone’s freewill to be accommodated in the same space and time, there will be increasing pressure for more extreme means of separation. According to Realm Dynamics, what begins as mere dislike between individuals can grow to parting of ways, a parting of timelines, and finally parting of dimensions. It is cellular mitosis on the hyper dimensional scale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;What causes the Shift? It’s possible that radiating outwardly from the galactic center are spiral arms of greatly altered gravitational potential. As our solar system moves around the galactic center, it will cyclically enter and exit these spiral arms so that all planets and the Sun experience a simultaneous change in their gravitational potential. General Relativity: Reaching the Portal Threshold&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The galactic center is a super massive black hole, and black holes are exits from our universe. To understand black holes, one must first understand gravity. All masses give off gravitational force&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;fields that cause other masses to fall towards them and vice versa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;But underlying this field is a more fundamental field known as the gravitational potential. To make an analogy, if the gravity force field is like the downward slope of a hill, then gravitational&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;potential is the measure of height at any point on that slope. Or if the force field is like wind, the potential is like air pressure. It takes changes in gravitational potential over some distance to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;produce a gravitational force field, just as it takes changes in height to make a slope that things can roll down, or changes in air pressure to create wind. On earth, each height above the surface (or distance from planetary center) carries a different gravitational potential, which creates a “slope” pointing downward (to the center) causing objects to fall if released.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;It is evident from Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity that the gravitational potential also sets the rate of time and scale of space. Clocks run slower and vertical rulers are shorter at lower&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;altitudes because the gravitational potential is stronger there. A black hole is so compact and massive that its gravitational potential some distance away is already strong enough to slow time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;to a stop and shrink a dimension of space to zero. That distance is known as the event horizon, or the Schwarzschild radius. From our perspective, an object entering the event horizon will appear frozen in time, while the object itself is instantly propelled toward eternity and either ejected out of our physical universe or destroyed in the process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Anyone entering a black hole will most likely be smushed to death because the changes in gravitational potential near the event horizon are so steep that the associated forces are too much to bear. But remember that it is the gravitational potential itself, and not the force field, that slows time and shrinks space. Therefore it is possible to have the same spacetime bending effects without any dangerous forces if the gravitational potential, despite being intense, varies very little within a given volume of space. It would be like a region of high air pressure without any wind. So as long as the spatial gradient in the gravitational potential is negligible, the potential itself can vary freely without accompanying forces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Where things get interesting is what happens beyond the event horizon, or to put it another way, beyond the value of gravitational potential necessary to stop time. General Relativity has an equation showing how the gravitational potential determines time dilation:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;As you can see, the more negative the gravitational potential, the greater the dilated time. Upon reaching a critical value, the potential causes the dilated time to become infinite, meaning that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;This critical value of potential may be called the portal condition:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;The portal condition is found precisely at the event horizon of a black hole, but can exist elsewhere in gradient-free and thus force-free form. If the potential grows even more negative than the portal condition, then not only does the time rate shrink to zero, but it actually becomes imaginary. Unlike real quantities which are multiples of one, imaginary quantities are multiples of the square root of negative one, which in practical terms means “an impossibility in one dimension made possible in another.” What we know as everyday linear time is real time. Imaginary time can vary without a single second of real time ticking by, and so it is the only time that continues to exist after one crosses the portal threshold.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Quantum Physics: Beyond the Portal Threshold&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Crossing the portal threshold is equivalent to breaking the speed of light, but without moving an inch. It ejects one from real spacetime into imaginary spacetime, which is called hyperspace according to physics, timespace according to the Ra Material, and antimatter or etheric universe according to the Cassiopaeans. If linear time (real time) is really a loop, then crossing zero time and entering hyperspace would mean exiting from that loop. When time rate is reduced to zero, there is no longer a difference between cause and effect. Rather these exist as a single state from start to finish, simultaneous and overlapping, like a movie reel just sitting there. whereby consciousness alone chooses from a multiple set of “movie reels” which one to play next. This choice is represented in quantum mechanics as a particular “quantum phase,” a single angle of alignment or position along the quantum wave function. What is the wave function? Unlike particles, which exist as tangible things in a single universe, a wave function is the collection of this particle’s possible states as existing across all its parallel universes simultaneously. When consciousness observes a wave function, it automatically selects from the wave a single phase to lock onto and turn into an tangible possibility to experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;So after entering hyperspace, it is imaginary time and the fundamental quantum phase (perhaps they are the same thing) that provide the primary measure markers of navigation. After entering hyperspace, consciousness can automatically phase-lock onto the linear timeline of choice and emerge into it by punching back through the portal threshold into real spacetime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Shift as Macroscopic Quantum Wave Expansion&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;As mentioned, the hypothesis given here is that the galactic center radiates waves or spiral arms of altered &lt;b&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline !important; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;gravitational potential. According to the unified field theory, there are a variety of mechanisms to generate such waves. Whatever the mechanism, if the solar system undergoes a gravitational &lt;b&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline !important; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;potential change that exceeds the portal condition, our reality would literally become unglued.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;See, the reason we are currently sharing the same planet on the same timeline is because we are all phase-locked onto the same fundamental quantum phase and thus the same primary reality. Our individual instances of reality are bound together because we are collectively stuck at the bottom of the same gravitational potential well, like marbles piled together at the bottom of a depression in a rubber sheet. Incidentally, the portal threshold is the amount of potential required to overcome the potential well of the entire physical universe. If the marbles were elevated beyond the lip of the depression they could escape, and likewise if we experienced a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;boost in our gravitational potential, our collective reality would dissolve. And that is exactly what would happen if we passed through an sufficiently altered region of spacetime, or if a gravitational potential wave passed through us. This is the key mechanism behind the Shift.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Let’s say that 2012-2032 does involve a cataclysmic alteration of our gravitational potential to the point where everything opens up. Then anything would go, anything is possible, future and past merge into a single moment of eternity, spacetime blows up into infinity, and consciousness is blasted into hyperspace. In the years leading up to this point, reality would simply become more plastic and responsive to our consciousness due to the changed gravitational potential loosening things up, but after that point reality would dissolve entirely. And after being tossed into hyperspace, consciousness would simply phase-lock onto whatever reality befits it. Far from being New Age speculation, this follows directly from a creative application of quantum and relativistic physics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;So what the Shift really means in this context is the unlocking of the gravitational chains that bind us to each other, so that a natural sorting or resettling process can occur where individuals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;can diverge onto new realities that best fit their own spiritual needs, realities that best resonate with their own quantum phase spectrum. The other half is meeting the portal threshold in the first place, which is the only way a tangible reality can be “uncollapsed,” and that requires a gravitational potential wave whose peak amplitude is beyond the portal threshold. Put another way, the Shift is a macroscopic quantum wave expansion followed by a macroscopic quantum wave collapse. It is the opening and closing of the door to our reality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;What happens afterward depends on the individual in question. Those of the least spiritual polarization and awareness may, like birds too young to fly being tossed into the air, fall immediately back into a limited linear timeline without remembering anything different. Our memories are part of the linear timeline and change along with any alterations to that timeline. Others may have gained sufficient personal energy and spiritual polarization to no longer be stuck inside gravitational potential wells, giving them a new degree of freedom to enter and exit timespace / hyperspace at will.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;That level of existence is called “fourth density” but here I wish to give a technical hypothesis of what that really means: total quantum phase freedom and conscious navigation through maginary time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Future in Your Hands&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;That scenario would violate the freewill of those not ready and encourage passivity since, with ascension being guaranteed, all one needs to do is sit around and wait until 2012 apocalypse comes, which is no different from the Christian Rapture or other doomsday lifestyles that promote passively waiting for the end. Realm Dynamics explains why the principles underlying the Shift are the same ones active at a lower degree in our lives everyday. If you want to know what your quantum phase resonance is, look at the kind of experiences you are attracting right now. What is the “theme” of your life experiences? Are you madly clambering for material satisfactions, stepping over others to attain your ambitions? Do you constantly suffer misfortune after misfortune, hostility, and persecution? Or do you strive for greater awareness and balance, with your life having its regular share of miracles? To vector onto the optimal reality trajectory, it takes a combination of optimal attitude, awareness, and action. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2012 apocalypse....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-8912750770369957764?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/8912750770369957764/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=8912750770369957764' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/8912750770369957764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/8912750770369957764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2009/03/physics-of-2012-apocalypse.html' title='The Physics of 2012 Apocalypse'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-7047859933840709777</id><published>2008-12-07T22:59:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-06-01T00:19:52.075-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>Who? What? Where? King Solomon, Gog, Magog, and The 2012 Apocalypse</title><content type='html'>Who? What? Where? King Solomon, Gog, Magog, and The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solomon's Temple also known as the First Temple, was, according to the Bible, the first temple of the ancient religion of the biblical Israelites in Jerusalem. Lack of archaeological evidence for such a temple or a Jerusalem large enough to support it has caused some modern scholars to doubt its existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Bible, it functioned as a religious focal point for worship and the sacrifices known as the korbanot in ancient Judaism.&lt;br /&gt;Completed in the 10th century BCE, it was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The reconstructed temple in Jerusalem, which stood between 516 BCE and 70 CE, was the Second Temple. It was razed again, with no evidence left behind. The Third Temple, if built, would signal to many the precursor to the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;apocalypse 2012.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David conquered Jerusalem at the end of the 11th century BCE, then choose it as the center of his new government. He brought the Ark of the Covenant to the city. Jerusalem became the political and spiritual center of the ancient Hebrews. King David was instructed by God not to build the Temple, leaving the task to his son Solomon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These sacred vessels were, at the end of the Babylonian Captivity, restored to the Jews by Cyrus in 538 BCE (Ezra 1:7-11).&lt;br /&gt;The Temple is believed to have been situated upon the hill which forms the site of the present-day Temple Mount, in the center of which area is the Dome of the Rock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two sources of archaeological artifacts claimed by some relevant to Solomon's temple. The first come from remains taken from refuse from an extensive construction project performed on the Temple Mount by the Islamic waqf in November of 1999.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not, however, clear whether these remains contain evidence of a Temple structure from this period. The second, which also does not confirm the existence of the temple, was discovered in the summer of 2007, as archeologists overseeing construction at the site reported “evidence of human activity” most likely belonging to the first temple period. In January 2008 Israeli archaeologist Eilat Mazar publicized the Shelomit seal; however, no evidence has yet been presented that would link the seal's "Shelomit" with the biblical "Shelomit."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rock in the center of the dome is believed by Muslims to be the  spot from which Prophet Muhammad ascended to God in heaven, accompanied by the angel Gabriel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Dome of the Rock is a notable Islamic mosque in what Muslims call the al-Aqsa Mosque Noble Sanctuary — which Jews and Christians call the Temple Mount — it remains one of the best known landmarks of Jerusalem. It was built between 687 and 691 by the 9th Caliph, Abd&lt;br /&gt;al-Malik. For centuries, European travelers have called it the Mosque of Umar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Judaism the stone is the site where Abraham fulfilled God's test to see if he would be willing to sacrifice his son Isaac. The Knights Templar, who believed the Dome of the Rock to be near the&lt;br /&gt;ruins of the Temple of Solomon, made their headquarters in the Al-Aqsa Mosque adjacent to the Dome for much of the 12th century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They called it the "Templum Domini", and it was the location from which they took their name "Templar". It appeared in some of the seals of the Order's Grand Masters, and its architecture was a model for Templar churches across Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rabbi Shlomo Goren had told him "Now is the time to put 100 kilograms of explosives into the Mosque of Omar so that we may rid ourselves of it once and for all." Which would spark an apocalyptic war. Groups such as the Temple Mount and Eretz Yisrael Faithful Movement wish to relocate the Dome to Mecca and replace it with a Third Temple. Certainly inciting an apocalyptic war, since Muslims consider the ground under the Dome to be sacred this would be a highly contentious move. Most religious Jews feel that the Temple should only be rebuilt in the messianic era, and it is their belief that it would be presumptuous of people to force God's hand. However, some Christians would consider this a prerequisite to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The 2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; and the Second Coming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Temple Mount and Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel) Faithful Movement is an Orthodox Jewish movement based in Israel that wishes to establish a Third Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and re-institute the practice of ritual sacrifice. It was founded by former Israel Defence  Forces officer and Middle Eastern Studies lecturer Gershon Salomon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Members of the movement are referred to as the "Temple Mount Faithful" The Temple Mount Faithful propose the Mosque on this site be moved to the Muslim holy city of Mecca to facilitate the construction of a new Temple. The movement has been forbidden to ascend on the Temple Mount on a number of occasions out of fear they would spark war with the Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If concrete evidence is found that the Temple does exist under the Dome of The Rock, this would undoubtly spark apocalytic size fighting between Muslims and Jews as the Orthodox proceed to fulfill prophecy and rebuild the Third Temple and the Muslims protect ther sacred site  to the death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-7047859933840709777?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/7047859933840709777/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=7047859933840709777' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/7047859933840709777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/7047859933840709777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/12/who-what-where-king-solomon-gog-magog.html' title='Who?

Eros is one of the few NEAs with a maximum diameter greater than 10 km. It is believed to be larger than the impactor that created Chicxulub Crater in the Yucatán, which has been linked to the Apocalypse (extinction) of the dinosaurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On January 31, 2012, Eros is expected to pass Earth, Is this the 2012 Apocalypse??&lt;br /&gt;Objects in an orbit like Eros can exist for only a few hundred million years before the orbit is perturbed by gravitational interactions. Simulations suggest that Eros may evolve into an&lt;br /&gt;Earth-crosser with Apocalyptic power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(8:8) And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(8:9) And there died the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, even they that had life; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(8:10) And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of the waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wormwood crashes into the ocean or sea, causing one third of the drinking water to be poisoned. Wormwood may be a Comet, Asteroid, or Arab  Missile that hits NYC as W.W. III explodes across Europe, a War fought for food and fresh water. The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(8:12) And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; that the third part of them should be darkened, and the day should not shine for the third part of it, and the night in like manner.&lt;br /&gt;A very good description of the aftermath of a comet or asteroid impacting the earth causing the 2012 Apocalypse!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prophecy of the Popes&lt;br /&gt;The prophecy was attributed to Saint Malachy, the 12th-century bishop of Armagh in Ireland. According to the traditional account, in 1139, Saint Malachy was summoned to Rome by Pope Innocent II. While in Rome, Saint Malachy purportedly experienced a vision of future popes,&lt;br /&gt;which he recorded as a sequence of cryptic phrases. Systematically recording the names of 112 Popes into the future. This manuscript was then deposited in the Roman Archive, and thereafter forgotten about until its rediscovery in 1590.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saint Malachy implies Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's chosen name would be Benedictine- Benedict XVI, which is the fulfilment the prophecy of the 111th Pope.Prophesy dictates that our present Pope, Pope Benedict XVI is our second to last Pope, whose death will signal the 112th, Last, and&lt;br /&gt;Final Pope..."Peter The Roman".  The possibilty of this happening in the year 2012 is very real. The date and chosen name of this 112th pope will signal the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, the seat will be occupied by Peter the Roman,ho will feed his sheep in many tribulations; and when these things are finished, the seven-hilled city will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people.&lt;br /&gt;The End.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Roman Catholic tradition, Saint Peter was installed as the first Pope by Jesus Christ. Though the adoption of that name is not canonically barred, it is considered unlikely that any future pope would ever choose the name. Thus, if the name Peter is used, it furthers the accuracy of this prophesy. The Apocalyptic ending of 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;King of Tyrus- Lucifer, Evil and False Prophet&lt;br /&gt;After the judgment of the Prince of Tyrus, God directs the prophet Ezekiel to write a judgment about the King of Tyrus, and from the scripture is learned that this individual is Lucifer, as this was his former position before the throne of God before his fall. Satan is also eventually be judged in the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;.Tyrus is said to be the ancient city of Tyre in Lebanon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-indigo-child.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-indigo-child&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-7935313178571934472?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/7935313178571934472/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=7935313178571934472' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/7935313178571934472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/7935313178571934472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/12/book-of-revelation-and-2012-apocalypse.html' title='The BOOK OF REVELATION and The 2012 Apocalypse.'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SboFHlwUcFI/AAAAAAAACCc/EdWjLwkv6-8/s72-c/2012_book+of+revelation.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-9054374692912749860</id><published>2008-12-07T22:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-05-03T20:14:16.364-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>The 2012 Apocalypse Into The Age of Aquarius ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SboM1WdJdJI/AAAAAAAACCk/QOtuCzzIXLw/s1600-h/aquarius_2012.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 175px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SboM1WdJdJI/AAAAAAAACCk/QOtuCzzIXLw/s200/aquarius_2012.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312572821137355922" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2012 Apocalypse Into The Age of Aquarius ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ruler of Aquarius is Uranus. Its symbol represents water, a universal image which dates back into prehistory. This will also be recognized in the egyptian hieroglyph representing the same. The association in Aquarius is that of the servant of humanity pouring out the water of knowledge to quench the thirst of the world.&lt;br /&gt;To create this age of beauty and splendor after the year &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;, one has to destroy. When we can clearly observe the zodiacal sign of Aquarius, this is the dawn of a new age. Aquarius is the house of Uranus and Saturn. Uranus is a revolutionary, terrible, catastrophic&lt;br /&gt;planet. Saturn, reminds us of chaos, the return to the point of original departure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Undoubtedly the Transition from the Age of Pisces, our present age, to The Age of Aquarius will be earth shattering. Pisces, the Fish, has come to symbolize the age of Christianity.&lt;br /&gt;Is The Age of Pisces symbolic of The great world Savior, Jesus Christ, coming to an end? With the arrival of the Aquarian Age, does humanity begins its "entrance into heaven" ~ the Spiritual Kingdom? Does the water bearer water the earth for growth after its destruction and baptise the survivors with love knowledge enlightenment? Cleanse the people of old ways and truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will the Age of Aquarius signal the loss of belief in Christianity and a transition another belief?&lt;br /&gt;Many have predicted a "Golden Age" into the early part of the New Millenium. They believe that the Age of Aquarius with all its splendor and beauty has to fully manifest beyond 2012. It is believed that humanity will go through a radical transformation after the year &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; is the transition of the ages. A point of destruction and near annihilation which transitions into a world of spirituality never experienced on earth. World peace after a costly lesson for mankind and its creatures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terence and Dennis McKenna in The Invisible Landscape advance an idea derived from studies of primitive shamanism and psychoactive drugs that our universe is created between two hyper-universes. Based on extensive computer modelling, they think that humanity will experience a Resurrection into the Light during six days in the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;, comparable to the appearance of life, the invention of language or the achievement of immortality will be experienced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jose Arguelles discovered a system of cycles based on the ancient Mayan calendar and determined that the year 2012 would be the end of the 396 year Baktun of the Transformation of Matter, the collapse of global civilization. The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; will follow with an era of&lt;br /&gt;information and crystal-solar technology and galactic synchronization. The age of Pisces Transitons into the age of Aquarius during this process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/11/2012-time-odyssey.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-time-odyssey.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-9054374692912749860?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/9054374692912749860/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=9054374692912749860' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/9054374692912749860'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/9054374692912749860'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/12/2012-apocalypse-into-age-of-aquarius.html' title='The 2012 Apocalypse Into The Age of Aquarius ?'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SboM1WdJdJI/AAAAAAAACCk/QOtuCzzIXLw/s72-c/aquarius_2012.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-6050765239064802065</id><published>2008-12-07T22:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-05-03T20:14:24.375-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>Apocalypse 2012</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Apocalypse 2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abandon all your possessions and run for the hills: It has been foretold that the world is coming to an end sooner than you think, in the year &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 the apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; ! . It seems that you can't pick up any newspaper or magazine without reading that the apocalypse is almost upon us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What really is going to happen in 2012? Asteroid 433 Eros is going to pass within 17 million miles of the Earth in January; the United States will hand over control of the Korean military back to the Koreans in April; there will be an annular solar eclipse in May and a solar transit of Venus in June; the Summer Olympics will take place in London; the Earth's population will officially pass 7 billion people in October; the United States will elect a new President in November; construction of the new Freedom Tower will be complete in New York City; the sun will flip its magnetic poles as it does at the end of every 11-year sunspot cycle; and, as I'm sure you've heard by now, the Mayan calendar completes its 5,125 year cycle, presumably portending the End of Days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mayans had three calendars. They had a solar calendar that was 365 days long, and a ceremonial calendar that was 260 days long. These two calendars would synchronize every 52 years. To measure longer time periods, they developed the "long count" calendar, which expressed dates as a series of five numbers, each less than twenty; something like the way we measure minutes and seconds as a series of two numbers each less than sixty. And, just in case this might seem&lt;br /&gt;too simple, for some reason the second to last number was always less than eighteen. The first day in the Mayan long count calendar was expressed as 0.0.0.0.0, and by our calendar, this was August 11, 3114 BC. Every 144,000 days (or about every 395 years, which they called a baktun), the first number would increment, and a new baktun would start. Recall how we all got to enjoy the excitement on the millennium of watching the digital displays roll over from 12/31/1999 to 1/1/2000? Well, that's what's going to happen on December 21, 2012 to the Mayan calendar. It's going to roll over from 12.19.19.17.19 to 13.0.0.0.0, just as it has done each of the previous twelve baktuns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's no archaeological or historical evidence that the Mayans themselves expected anything other than a New Year's Eve party to happen on this date: Claims that this rollover represents a Mayan prediction of the end of the world appear to be a modern pop-culture invention. It's true that the Mayan carvings of their calendar only depicted 13 baktuns, but what did you expect them to do? Carve an infinitely long calendar every time they wanted to express a date?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The explanation could be as simple as they didn't expect people in the 21st century to still be obsessed with their archaic calendar.&lt;br /&gt;Another story predicting doom in 2012 says that a new planet, variously described as Planet X, a planet/comet (which makes no sense), or the planet "Nibiru" is going to pass so close to the Earth as to cause earthquakes and tidal waves and all kinds of destruction, possibly even flipping the Earth completely upside down. This is an urban legend that's been around for a long time, but for most of the story's history, this was supposed to happen in May of 2003, as any Internet search for "Planet X" will reveal. Apparently what happened is that the Planet X advocates, perhaps embarrassed or disappointed that 2003 passed without incident, heard about the much more popular Mayan calendar story, and decided that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse &lt;/span&gt; is close enough to 2003 that it must be the correct date and that the Planet X destruction is probably what the Mayans were foretelling. The Planet X legend got started by misinterpretations of astronomical observations combined with an ancient Sumerian carving that has been erroneously interpreted to depict a solar system with ten planets. Why the craftsmen who made carvings in ancient Sumeria should be presumed to have planetary knowledge superior to that of modern astronomy is not convincingly argued. If you're interested in all of the actual science behind the Planet X story, there's no better source than Phil Plait's "Bad Astronomy" blog, which goes into all the facts, rumors, and sources in detail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's one more reason people are frightened about &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalpse&lt;/span&gt;. About 500 years ago, Copernicus confirmed what Hipparchus had observed in 2200 BC: that the axis of the Earth, which leans over at 23.5°, completes one full rotation every 25,765 years. This means that in 12,000 years, Christmas will come to Australia in winter and the northern hemisphere will depict Santa in Bermuda shorts. Astrologers call this period a Great Year, and they divide it into 12 Great Months or astrological "ages", each about 2,147 years long. Each age corresponds to one of the signs of the zodiac. We are currently in the Age of Pisces, and like the song says, we're soon going to enter the Age of Aquarius. According to modern official delineations of the edges of the constellations, we'll move into the new age in the year 2600. But there's some disagreement, and some astrologers place it at 2595, 2654, or 2638. A few put it much earlier, as soon as 2150 or&lt;br /&gt;even 2062. However, once the news of the Mayan calendar broke, a large segment of the astrological community abandoned the official constellation definitions and stated that the Age of Aquarius will begin in 2012. So, you can call this a third major reason why the world will end in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;, but you have to be awful loose with your astrology, and you also have to think of some reason why the dawning of the Age of Aquarius might bring on the end of the world. I have not found any plausible claims for how it might have this effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's a lot of reasons, weak though they might be, to predict that the we're all going to die in 2012. However, there's one significant fact that the 2012 doomsayers all seem to forget: Despite&lt;br /&gt;all the various 2012-ish predictions for the end of the world, there are far more stories of apocalypse with different dates. For example, popular interpretations of Nostradamus found predictions for the end of the world in July of 1999, December of 1999, June of 2002, and&lt;br /&gt;October of 2005. It's also been said that his writings could mean the dead will rise from their graves in either 2000, 2007, or the year 7000. Nostradamus never said anything about 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Protestant Christians believe that the end of the world will come in the form of what they call the Rapture, when the righteous will all be whisked away to heaven. Shakers believed the Rapture would come in 1792. Seventh Day Adventists first calculated it would happen in 1843, then when nothing happened, they found an error in their calculations and corrected it to 1844. The Jehovah's Witnesses made firm predictions for 1918, 1925, 1941, 1975, 1984, and 1994. A&lt;br /&gt;book was published in 1988 called 88 Reasons the Rapture is in 1988.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A number of Bible scholars found firm scriptural evidence that the Rapture would happen in October of 2005. Thousands of Koreans gave away all their money and possessions in preparation for the Rapture on October 28, 1992. Even Sir Isaac Newton made a calculation based on scripture that showed the Rapture could not happen before 2060. Some Jewish scholars place the "end of days" via Armageddon in the year 2240. I couldn't find 2012 mentioned in any of these stories.&lt;br /&gt;In fact, James Randi's magnum opus publication An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural lists 44 distinct end of the world predictions that all came and went unfulfilled. Why should we think that the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; legends are any different? Any examination of the science behind any of the stories, even a glib examination, reveals a complete absence of plausible foundation. Only the Planet X story, which is the most easily falsified as it depends on concrete astronomical observations that are demonstrably false, offers a proposed mechanism for exactly how this "end of the world" is to be accomplished, the alleged&lt;br /&gt;gravitational destruction. Neither the Mayan calendar people, nor the Age of Aquarius people, have offered any claims for how or why the world will end, only that their particular legend points to a rollover in some ancient calendar. My calendar rolls over every time the ball drops in New York, and I've yet to see this cause any planetary cataclysm, except for the guy who has to mop out the drunk tank at the NYPD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many people tend to place more trust in ancient neolithic traditions than in the observations of modern science. There's nothing wrong with studying and respecting our predecessors' history for what it was, but when you turn things over and start believing that scientific knowledge of the natural world has only decreased over time, you're not doing anyone any favors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-shift-in-human-consciousness.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-shift-in-human-consciousness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-6050765239064802065?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/6050765239064802065/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=6050765239064802065' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/6050765239064802065'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/6050765239064802065'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/12/apocalypse-2012.html' title='Apocalypse 2012'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-267712876756356153</id><published>2008-11-22T21:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-07T04:18:52.125-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>Stargate: 2004-2012 Venus Transit</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Stargate: 2004-2012 Venus Transit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have experienced an increasing number of large-scale natural disasters since 1950. This includes earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes and floods. While people are waiting for an explosive &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; event to announce Armageddon, the signs these are indeed the ‘End Times’ appear to have already occurred.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;According to the ancient Maya solar priests, the end of this age – the 5th Sun – would be precipitated by an era of increasing earthquakes. The frequency in occurrence of earthquakes analysed from data accumulated since 1900 shows there were 120 strong (6-6.9) tremors, 18 major (7-7.9) and 1 great quake (8-8.9) on average annually. A chart for the number of earthquakes worldwide from the last decade is more revealing of recent tremor activity. In 1994 there were 161 strong, 13 major and 2 great earthquakes. The next year there were 185 strong, 22 major and 3 great earthquakes. In 2000 we find 153 strong, 16 major and 4 great earthquakes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;From 1900 to 1960 there were few major volcanic eruptions. The 1990s saw swarms of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions around the globe. At the same time weather patterns became more erratic and severe storms more potent.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;My research into the Maya 5th Sun prediction, over the past 3 decades, has turned up some very interesting connections: 1) the &lt;b&gt;2012 apocalypse &lt;/b&gt;forecast is tied to the sunspot cycle and 2) the 2004-2012 Transit(s) of Venus.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The solar priests appear to have been aware of short and long-term solar output cycles. I am convinced the Five Suns or ages the Maya Long Count calendar kept track of were linked to the 26,000-year equinoctial precession, which is connected to the patterns of alternating ice ages and warming interglacial periods.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Long Count calendar, which marks the passage of a ‘Sun’ cycle, about 5,150 years, began for this age in 3013 BCE. This calendar cycle simply counts the number of days in a ‘Solar’ age. The previous, 4th Sun, was said to have ended in a deluge, and this 5th Sun is predicted to culminate in earthquakes and impacts from cosmic objects in &lt;b&gt;2012 apocalypse.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;When I realised the Transit of Venus occurred in June of 2004 and then again in December of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; I knew I had to go back and examine past transit cycles. Venus Transits are much like lunar eclipses only the planet passes between the Earth and Sun. It is a fairly rare celestial phenomenon and they occur, in pairs separated by 8 years, in alternating cycles every 105 and 120 years. My first surprise came when I went back and discovered a Venus Transit took place in 1518-1526.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It was during this transit that Cortez invaded and conquered &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Mexico&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. The Aztec priests predicted this period would be fraught with danger and this is why Montezuma failed to meet the challenge the Conquistadors posed.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;During this 8-year period many paranormal events occurred in &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Mexico&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Strangely enough, “shields” appeared in the skies booming out dire warnings to the citizens of the Aztec Empire. Several temples were set afire by curious beams of light flashing down from the heavens. Perhaps even more chilling, a decade before these events took place unexplained events accompanied a lunar eclipse. Just after the lunar eclipse occurred, &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;Mt.&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;  &lt;st1:placename&gt;Popocatepetl&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; erupted. The volcano, which can be seen from the &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;Valley&lt;/st1:placetype&gt; of &lt;st1:placename&gt;Mexico&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, had been dormant for many years so the eruption made the people apprehensive. In 1991, a similar sequence of events took place. As the residents of &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Mexico   City&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; lined the streets to watch a full lunar eclipse, a UFO appeared over the city at &lt;st1:time minute="0" hour="13"&gt;1 pm&lt;/st1:time&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;     Mount &lt;st1:place&gt;Popocatepetl&lt;/st1:place&gt; and nearby &lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;Mount&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;  &lt;st1:placename&gt;Colima&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; began erupting shortly thereafter and they have remained active ever since. The &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Vatican&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; told them to simply accept the reports at face value.&lt;span style=""&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I examined the next Venus Transit, which took place in 1631-39. I found that sunspots stopped appearing for 70 years immediately following this cycle. The radical drop in solar output caused the ‘little ice age’ from 1640 to 1710. Then I pulled up solar data and found that solar output has been on the increase for almost 300 years. The ancient priests were alerting us to a change in solar output. I then turned to the 11-year sunspot cycle and found connections between rising solar maximums and increasing natural disasters, wars, economic cycles and so on. It became apparent that natural disasters and human activity were clearly tied to the sunspot peaks and troughs. You can look at the recent sunspot peaks in 1990-91 and double peak in 2000-02 to see the connections to earthquakes, volcanoes and wars.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The next solar maximum is predicted for &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;. Now, this certainly puts a sharp edge on the end of the 5th Sun prediction. It would appear the ancient solar priests were aware of this double conjunction, the sunspot peak and the second leg of the Venus Transit both occurring in the same year.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Sunspot peaks have actually been declining in each succeeding 11-year cycle since then, from over 200 down to about the 150 range. Oddly enough, the last two peaks have been mirror images of each other. There was a dramatic increase in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions from 1990-92 and again in 2000-02. In terms of the human sphere we witnessed attacks on the World Trade Centre and Bush I &amp;amp; II go to war against &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The wild cards in this next cycle are the Transits of Venus. We have never gone through a Venus Transit since the advent of our ‘electromagnetic’ civilisation. My theory on the transit is that it disrupts the normal flow of energy, the solar wind and other energies the Sun transmits to the Earth. We already know solar flare-ups disrupt radio-telecommunications and even power transmission. Normally, the solar minimum period from now until &lt;b&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/b&gt; would be a fairly calm time with few natural disasters and little social unrest. However, the transit may change that scenario. If the 9.2 quake that hammered &lt;st1:state&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Alaska&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; last year had struck &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Los Angeles&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;, the American economy would have gone in the tank and taken the global system with it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Forecasts for this period includes a radical increase in paranormal events, UFO sightings and even miracles. We will know the truth of the ancient mysteries and also experience the reality of being spirits in a material world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-galactic-alignment.html"&gt;2012 apocalypse...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-267712876756356153?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/267712876756356153/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=267712876756356153' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/267712876756356153'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/267712876756356153'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/11/stargate-2004-2012-venus-transit.html' title='Stargate: 2004-2012 Venus Transit'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-4805419854610227080</id><published>2008-11-22T21:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-05-03T20:14:32.988-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>The Dawn of Aquarius</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Dawn of Aquarius (year 2012)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A New People, A New Consciousness, A New Era&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Aquarius will be the new age, the new life. First there will be disastrous events, gigantic upheavals, turmoil and change of all kinds….– Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov (1900-1986)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The transition to a new zodiacal age is altering the political map of the world. From Greece and Rome, the great power centres of two millennia ago, with their inheritance from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, a distinct civilisational impulse spread westward into Europe, eventually reaching North America. The advent of the Age of Aquarius coincides with the emergence of new world power centres. Just as old &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Egypt&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Babylon&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; and Sumeria were eclipsed by &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Greece&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Rome&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;, so too the ‘old world’ of &lt;st1:place&gt;Western Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt; and &lt;st1:place&gt;North  America&lt;/st1:place&gt; will be overtaken by new geopolitical alliances and fresh centres of global influence. And this will be accompanied by a dramatic change in consciousness, as the worn-out Western values and Eurocentric rationalist thought prevailing for the last few centuries surrender to the new Aquarian thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The current turmoil and conflict unleashed on the planet by the &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Britain&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is only the beginning of the climax of a struggle between cosmic influences of which most people are completely unaware. Today, &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Britain&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; embody atrophied and degraded Piscean energies. The Anglo-Americans, as the standard bearers of bankrupt Western materialism, are trying to reorganise the world, imposing their imbalanced, egoistic approach to life on all societies. Yet their latest brutal and insane actions, witnessed in the tragic invasion of &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, are part of a frantic effort to prolong their collapsing system. Despite all their apparent power and wealth, Anglo-American universalism is in a state of rapid decline leading to death.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A new era, a new consciousness and a new people are on the horizon, as the planet goes through a turbulent transitional period paving the way to the Aquarian Age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Aquarian Consciousness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether the earth is shaken by natural catastrophes, or nuclear warfare, or both, earth and the life upon it does survive. By analogy, just as the individual near death experiencer may have to endure the pain and suffering associated with the trauma of almost dying before positive personal transformation can take place, so the world may need to undergo a “planetary near-death experience” before it can awaken to higher, more spiritual, collective consciousness with universal love at its core.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;– Kenneth Ring, Transpersonal Psychologist&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Two thousand years ago, at the time of transition from the Age of Aries to that of Pisces, there were secret schools, most notably the Essenes, trained and taught to align themselves with the spiritual impulses of the incoming age. These small communities worked quietly, in retreats; but with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls we now know they were actually the ‘seedbed’ from which came the original Christian revelation.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;These separated mystic communities provided the necessary environment for the message of Jesus the Christ. With their unique synthesis of Zoroastrian, Pythagorean, Egyptian and Israelite spirituality, the Essenes acted as a bridge between the ‘old age’ religions and the unfolding new revelation. Above all, they represent the budding of a new consciousness which would impact history for two millennia. The declining &lt;st1:place&gt;Roman Empire&lt;/st1:place&gt;’s embrace of Christianity led to the triumph of the new religion in &lt;st1:place&gt;Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt;. With the arrival of the Age of Pisces, Christianity became synonymous with ‘Western civilisation’.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Writing a century ago, the gifted Englishman Edward Carpenter speculated about Man’s evolutionary future and the development of a new humanity imbued with a new consciousness. Throughout the writings of the 20th century’s most influential spiritual teachers from Charles W. Leadbeater and Rudolf Steiner, to Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh and Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, we find numerous references to the immanent emergence of a new human type. In the words of Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov: “The Age of Aquarius is fast approaching, and it is going to overturn and shatter all the old forms and values that human beings thought of as permanent.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;According to all the great mystic teachers and seers, the Age of Aquarius is heralded by a time of immense conflict and turmoil never before witnessed in recorded history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Writing in his book Love and Sexuality, Aivanhov notes:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;John White, a respected New Age author, observes in Science and Spirit that if modern civilisation is destroyed, “some people will survive, according to the predictions and prophecies. The great loss of life will open up niches in the environment where new life forms can emerge. Those most deeply attuned to cosmic processes will become the seedbed from which, it is said, a new race, a higher humanity will evolve in accelerated fashion.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The survivors of this ‘great tribulation’ ushering in the Aquarian Age will be those men and women who have not been ensnared by the ‘strong delusions’ of the dying old order.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;A remnant, who like the ancient Essenes before them, renounce the ephemeral fleeting attractions of the old era, will also live on to protect the law of the truth and lead the survivors in the new era.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Christians are fighting each other over dogmas and doctrines. Christians spend their time serving the very System of Money and Power which crucified Jesus the Christ and persecuted his early followers. Christianity, a religion of the Piscean Age, has chosen to stay with the old order and will invariably perish with it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;New &lt;st1:place&gt;Eurasia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Truth of Life descends from the world of Eternal Light to illuminate the minds, regenerate the hearts, raise and renew the souls of all the sons of Truth destined to constitute the nucleus of the new humanity of which the Slavs will be the cradle.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;– Peter Deunov, Bulgarian Mystic, 1898&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The inspired Gnostic Master Teacher Peter Deunov (Beinsa Douno), who lived in &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Bulgaria&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; from 1864-1944, prophesied the birth of “a new type of man” on Earth to coincide with the astrological Age of Aquarius. According to Deunov, the final stage of the previous Piscean Age, transmitted by the Anglo-Saxons, was passing. In the new aeon the Slavic people are predestined to play a leading role. Speaking to his early Gnostic students, Deunov announced: “You are the chosen children of truth who were preordained to form the seed of the new humanity of which Slavdom as a family, descendants of &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Judah&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, will become the hearth.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The 20th century, in Deunov’s prophetic scheme, was a preparatory period distinguished by the waxing and waning of Anglo-American civilisation. From this perspective the collapse of the &lt;st1:place&gt;British  Empire&lt;/st1:place&gt; and the rise of the &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;USA&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; at the end of the Second World War marked a key turning point in history. Anglo-American culture having reached its peak is now in its death-throes, and the first light of the new culture is dawning in keeping with the incoming Aquarian influences.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; constitutes the largest Slavic nation, and the last hundred years may rightly be said to have been the time of &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s ‘&lt;st1:place&gt;Golgotha&lt;/st1:place&gt;’ or ‘crucifixion’. A hundred years of incredible human suffering and enormous national sacrifice claimed millions of Russian lives. Within the first five decades of the 20th century the Apocalyptic Horseman of Famine and War ravaged the vast Russian land. Spectacular material triumphs accomplished at the cost of personal liberty and paid for by human sacrifice. Was such collective suffering a preparation for the new era?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Revolutions, civil war, famine, two world wars, political repression…. were these all part of a cleansing process signaling the beginning of a new era in which &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; discovers her true mission?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Alice A. Bailey, who is credited by many as the founder of the contemporary New Age movement, saw a unique role for &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; in ushering in the new era. Writing at a time when &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; was firmly behind the communist iron curtain, she predicted:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), who established the Anthroposophical society, believed the Slavic “folk soul” would play a major role in the future development of a new humanity. He saw the Slavs as a bridge between the Orient (East) and the Occident (West). According to Steiner, the religious thought of the Orient belongs to the past; the Occident’s philosophical-scientific thought to the present; the Slavic soul will bridge the two and create a pathway to a spiritual future. More than any other national soul, claimed Steiner, the Russian group soul strives to realise the world of the spirit. In &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; the synthesis of the highest features of both Eastern and Western cultures would one day be achieved.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;“Its geographic location places &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; between two extreme, monolithic cultures – between the materialist countries of the West and the passive, world-denying countries of the East. It is appropriate that &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; creatively unite these extremes,” wrote Nikolai Belotsvetov, one of Steiner’s leading Russian followers.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;“Our country is a peculiar country, placed between the hammer of &lt;st1:place&gt;Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt; and the anvil of &lt;st1:place&gt;Asia&lt;/st1:place&gt;, destined to reconcile them in one way or another,” wrote the world famous chemist Dmitri Mendeleev. “It is my deep conviction that &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is called to allay the age-old hostility between &lt;st1:place&gt;Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt; and &lt;st1:place&gt;Asia&lt;/st1:place&gt;, to reconcile and unite those two different worlds, and find a proper balance between the progressive but proud and inconsequent individualism of &lt;st1:place&gt;Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt; and the sense of social and political cohesion of &lt;st1:place&gt;Asia&lt;/st1:place&gt;...”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;For the last two thousand years of the Piscean Age, civilisation has traveled the course of the Sun from East to West, reaching its apogee in the modern &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;USA&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. With the end of the Piscean era, history and civilisation is reorienting. We are seeing a return to origins with the emergence of a new power centre at the cross-roads of the East and West, in &lt;st1:place&gt;Eurasia&lt;/st1:place&gt;, the great heartland of &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The history of &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is not the history of a country, but of a world. The Eurasian world, as such consists of vast plains which extend, broken here and there by low mountain ranges, between the Arctic Ocean, the Pacific, the Black Sea, the Caucasian Range, the Iranian plateau, the heights of the Pamir and the Hindu Kush, and join up, through the tortuous valleys and foothills of the Tian Shan and the Altai ranges, with the plains of Eastern Turkestan and Mongolia.1&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;According to the Ancient Wisdom teachings, in remote prehistory a spiritual disaster accompanied by a catastrophic shift in the Earth’s axis caused a great migration to &lt;st1:place&gt;Eurasia&lt;/st1:place&gt; from the primal northern region of Hyperborea. Theosophical writers believe that millions of years ago &lt;st1:place&gt;Eurasia&lt;/st1:place&gt; was the homeland of the people who:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;…later descended into the Indian peninsula those peoples who call themselves ‘Aryans,’ the ‘High Caste,’ who later were divided into Four Castes: Brahmanas, Kshattriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras. From the southeastern parts came later the Babylonians, the Assyrians, the Medes and the Persians; and the peoples of &lt;st1:place&gt;Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt;, Greeks, Romans, especially.2&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Eurasia&lt;/st1:place&gt;, the Russian heartland, has long been called “&lt;st1:place&gt;Northern Shambhala&lt;/st1:place&gt;” by Buddhist teachers. Having studied Tibetan Buddhism, Nikolai Roerich developed a deep interest in Shambhala and led a scientific expedition through &lt;st1:place&gt;Eurasia&lt;/st1:place&gt; to look for traces of the hidden kingdom.3 He later remarked, “The East has said that when the Banner of Shambhala would encircle the world, verily the New Dawn would follow.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;At this crucial period in world history we see the first signs of a Eurasia-oriented geopolitical alliance between &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Germany&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;India&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;China&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, as a counter balance to the Anglo-American order. &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, together with the former Soviet states of &lt;st1:place&gt;Central Asia&lt;/st1:place&gt;, constitutes the Eurasian ‘kernel’. In the West this Eurasian alliance reaches to &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Germany&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, while in the far East it includes &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;China&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;north Korea&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; make up the southern flank of &lt;st1:place&gt;Eurasia&lt;/st1:place&gt;. All around us we’re confronted with clear proof of the passing of one age and the dawn of a new era in human history.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Britain&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and the &lt;st1:country-region&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; represent the final phase of a Western civilisation which succeeded a decaying &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Rome&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; at the start of the Piscean Age. And like ancient &lt;st1:city&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Rome&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; before its collapse, the Anglo-American rulers are desperately seeking to expand what the writer Philip K. Dick termed the ‘Black Iron Prison’. To the ancient Egyptians the western lands were, after all, the kingdom of the dead.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;– Jesus, Matthew 24:27&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The time in which we now live is charged with cosmic significance as nations and peoples unconsciously struggle to align themselves either with the old aeon influences or the incoming forces of the new Aquarian Age. Now is the time of decision, preparation and separation. People who separate from the old order and prepare themselves by harmonising with the rhythm of Aquarius will form the ‘seedbed’ from which develops a new culture and a new consciousness. One hundred years ago the venerable European monarchies looked safe and secure, impervious to change. The &lt;st1:place&gt;British Empire&lt;/st1:place&gt;, on which it was said the ‘sun never sets’, straddled the globe triumphant. The victims of history will soon be the victors as the Earth is bathed in the Great Light of the Aquarian Age...the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;year 2012&lt;/span&gt;....the apocalypse !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-judgement-day.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-judgement-day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-4805419854610227080?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/4805419854610227080/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=4805419854610227080' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/4805419854610227080'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/4805419854610227080'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/11/dawn-of-aquarius.html' title='The Dawn of Aquarius'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-304693181788713392</id><published>2008-11-22T21:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-04T05:08:28.561-08:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 Apocalypse : A Time Odyssey</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SWC0lfKAoSI/AAAAAAAAB68/dAcCg0zvxQg/s1600-h/time_odyssey.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 133px; height: 75px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SWC0lfKAoSI/AAAAAAAAB68/dAcCg0zvxQg/s200/time_odyssey.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287424518644605218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;: A Time Odyssey&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;© By Sharron Rose&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Many experts, scientists, artists and philosophers have reached the conclusion that the human experience is reaching some kind of ultimate climax. Each person who studies this phenomenon calls this coming event by a different name, or uses different terms to describe it, but essentially they are all speaking of the same event. José Argüelles says that it is the Climax of Matter, Jean Houston calls it Jump Time, and Ray Kurzweil calls it the approaching singularity.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;What is interesting about this is that numerous prophesies from ancient traditions around the world have also pointed to this time period as a time of great upheaval and change, perhaps the most important in human history. The Mayans of Mexico marked this time with their famous calendar. The alchemists of &lt;st1:place&gt;Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt; built the Cross of Hendaye to describe it. The Qero Indians of Peru call it the Pacha Kuti and the ancient Egyptians referred to it as the Zep Tepi or The First Time. In the Indo-Tibetan tradition it is equated with the final throes of the Kali Yuga, the Age of Iron. Each of these traditions tells us that a great transformative moment is at hand, a moment in which we have the opportunity to release old patterns and re-link ourselves with the essential rhythms and harmonies of the universe.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;As we can see from these prophecies, this shift is not just limited to historical tangibles like globalisation, the internet, global warming and the destruction of the environment but is deeply embedded in almost all of the great spiritual traditions of humanity. This approaching singularity is truly the most profound event in history. Everything that we know, everything that we are, is about to undergo a substantial and radical alternation.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;Right now there is a great slumber across the land, Alberto Villoldo refers to it as a cultural trance, José Argüelles, a Dreamspell, Riane Eisler, the dominator trance or the last gasp of the patriarchy. It is as if a “glamour” has been cast over our collective eyes, a veil of delusion. Lost in the media haze of “spin,” bogus reporting, and talking points, which reduce deep issues that effect our future to mere sound bites, it has become more and more difficult to discern the false from the true. The prevailing forces of the modern world have brought us to a state where we are out of balance, out of tune. The question is how did this come about?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;José Argüelles eloquently speaks of this misalignment resulting from the shift from the Lunar calendar to the Gregorian calendar. The previous calendar, based on Lunar cycles as opposed to our current calendar which is based on Solar cycles, was attuned to a different vibration, one of harmony with the rhythms and cycles of nature. The transition from Lunar time to Solar time was also a transition from cyclic time to linear time. As the Lunar time period waned our right-brain feminine-based qualities of creativity, art and beauty were repressed and the left-brain tendencies of order, efficiency and logic became the dominant force. With industrialisation, the Solar-based calendars took a firm grip on us as we became bound by time, locked into mechanical rhythms, habitual patterns of thought and motion. We have become a society of slaves to the clock and to the machines that appeared to offer us freedom, but at what cost? This leads us to today where we stand isolated from nature and each other. In this we have become a society of consumers. In our greed, we have not only gobbled up the resources of the past, but we are devouring the future as well.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;Think about it. The twentieth century with all of its invention, wars and change was brought to us by the power of one single substance – that of Oil. Over the course of the last one hundred years, during this Age of Oil, we have used up millions of years of compacted light created by the bones and residue of the plants and animals that once occupied this planet. On a metaphysical level that means our very environment is suffused with the ‘ka’ or psychic residue of these living beings from the past. Is the Age of Oil an outer manifestation of the karmic traces, or seeds of destruction left over from the beings of a former age? It certainly appears so.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;Now that the Age of Oil is coming to an end we will all face enormous difficulties. But instead of planning for these eventualities, our corporations, leaders and politicians are ignoring their responsibilities and are using up the world at an even faster rate than before.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;The world, our environment and our future appear to have become a gigantic close out sale – where everything must go.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;Just take a look around. It seems that everything is up for grabs now. Anything can happen. The historical process is coming to an end and so the real question that lies before us is this: will the human race survive this process? Will we continue to fall for the seduction of materialism, war and domination or open our eyes and live consciously? Will we finally achieve our potential and manifest our destiny or will we whither away like the dinosaurs and other species that have come before us? Faced with these essential questions, what can we do?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;I believe that the answer is to free our minds. Wake up from the trance. And how can we do this? By shifting our focus inward, realign ourselves with the highest of spiritual values. As we look inward, truly align with spirit, perceive and strip away the conditioned actions and karmic traces that have led to the fear-based nightmare of the current “manufactured reality,” the veil that obscures our true vision will dissolve.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;It is time to become the heroes and heroines of our dreams, to move beyond fear and transmute its fundamental energy into right action. With every thought we are affecting the shape of the future, with every action we are creating angels or demons.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;It is said that as we move to the end point of the cycle, whether it be the end of the world or the end of a life, time speeds up until there is no time, only the moment. In this extraordinary moment of reintegration, the psychic knots that bind us unwind, and the karmic veils are lifted. In that moment we can see with true clarity the pure essence of our being. We come face to face with our eternal nature. Time dissolves into space and all things appear in the perfect simultaneity of the state of pure immediate Present. This is the moment of true awakening. It is the still point between the thoughts, the pause between the in breath and the out breath.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;It is what we have been waiting for a long time.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;It is time to dream a new dream for humanity, move beyond the confines of linear time. What is going on right now on planet Earth is that a new level of consciousness is emerging. The Qero of Peru say that there has been a tear in the fabric of time itself, a window into the future through which a new species will emerge. The Brahma Kumaris, a spiritual group from &lt;st1:place&gt;North India&lt;/st1:place&gt;, tell us that we have already moved from the darkness of the Iron Age to a new age of consciousness called the Diamond Age. With this shift of consciousness, we are all becoming painfully aware of how much work there is left to do.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;The great spiritual teachers tell us that the chaos of the modern age is merely part of the natural order, that out of this chaos, a new age of harmony and grace will emerge. Many of us are moving beyond this phase in the cycle, realigning ourselves with spirit and feeling the great call to the light. We are planting the seeds for the world to come.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;If we are willing to break free of the cultural trance, let go of the materialist, ego-based mindset and live a more simple and harmonious life in balance with the Earth we will probably survive. If we don’t begin to change now we may not make it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;I once heard Terence McKenna say, “We must act as if the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; has already occurred.” At the time I didn’t understand what he meant. But I think I do now. What Terence was saying is that we must begin to live in the future – right now. We must act as if the corporate, materialist-based culture has already withered away and we are living in a future of our own creation.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;In a sense it is the most hopeful situation imaginable.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-304693181788713392?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/304693181788713392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=304693181788713392' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/304693181788713392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/304693181788713392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/11/2012-time-odyssey.html' title='2012 Apocalypse : A Time Odyssey'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SWC0lfKAoSI/AAAAAAAAB68/dAcCg0zvxQg/s72-c/time_odyssey.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-4790970361093010965</id><published>2008-10-12T01:14:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T04:52:56.899-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Significance of the Year 2012</title><content type='html'>Year 2012: Kalki Bhagavan about the Significance of the Year &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Oneness Festival and The World University of Consciousness was founded by The Experience Foundation and The Golden Age Foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Experience Foundation, headquartered in Sweden with a global network in more than 30 countries, has the purpose of providing an opportunity for great teachers and fine representatives of spiritual traditions to share their wisdom on how to create a global transition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Golden Age Foundation is a spiritual institution, born in India and globally known as Kalki Dharma, created with the one objective of helping Humanity to discover and experience the truths of the ancient principles and live in harmony with the Universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kalki, or Sri Kalki Bhagavan, the founder of Golden Age Foundation, is considered to be the Kalki Avatar capable of bringing enlightenment and to introduce the Golden Age. Here he is commenting on the significance of the year 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question: What is the significance of the year &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sri Kalki Bhagavan: OK. Most of you know that the earth has got a magnetic field. As the earth?s molten core is rotating; the magnetic field is created. The thought sphere of the human mind is located in the earth?s magnetic field. This mag-netic field has been weakening dramatically over last ten years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, in physics there is a parameter called ?Schumann?s Resonance?. Using that we can determine the strength of the earth?s magnetic field. While for many centuries, it was constant around 7.80 cycles per second, during the last 7-8 years, it has risen to 11 cycles per second and is continuing to increase dramatically. If you work it out mathematically, it appears that, by the year 2012, the "Schuman?s" is likely to be 13 cycles per second. When this reso-nance is 13 cycles per second, the earth?s core would stop rotating with mag-netic field gone, you mind is gone. When I say "your mind", what I mean is your "samskaras". The pressure of the past 11.000 years of samskaras will vanish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Dharma, we also say, ?Mind is Karma?. All actions start from your mind. The mind is nothing but a storehouse of samskaras or past life vasanas from which all action emanates. This is stored in the earth?s magnetic field. So in the year 2012 the apocalypse, it will become zero for a few days. After that the core will start rotating again. This would be a fresh beginning for man or the dawn of the Golden Age. This is the significance of the year &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt; . How do we know, it will happen? The study of fossil records has shown that, it happens roughly after 11.000 years. It?s only a short time away and then we can all start afresh. That is why I want you to become enlightened by 2012. If you are enlight-ened, with all your samskaras gone, we can begin a new yuga, which can be called Sathya Yuga or the Golden Age. Man will enter into a new state of al-tered consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I told you already, the earth?s resonance is increasing which means the earth?s heart is undergoing a transformation. The earth has got a physical body, like you have a body. It has got a consciousness as well. Now as the resonance is increasing the earths heart functioning very differently from before. Now, your heart and the earth?s heart are connected. The earth?s heart can be influ-enced by your heart and vice versa. That is why, it is essential that your heart-beat synchronises with the earth?s resonance. This means your heart must flower. Your heart will flower when you discover love in your relationships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have discover love, you must stop judging your parents, spouses, etc., internally. Nobody can be judged as the whole universe directly influences all events, even the behaviour of the people. So learn to experience life. Life has to be experienced, be it pain or pleasure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-gaia-theory.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-gaia-theory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-4790970361093010965?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/4790970361093010965/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=4790970361093010965' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/4790970361093010965'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/4790970361093010965'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/10/significance-of-year-2012.html' title='Significance of the Year 2012'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-4978356745668742530</id><published>2008-10-12T01:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-22T04:29:08.962-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Enlightenment 2012</title><content type='html'>Enlightenment 2012: Kalki and the Golden Age ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Introduction&lt;br /&gt;By Kiara Windrider&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2012 apocalypse ? For days I experienced tremendous activity taking place in my brain ? intense pressure in one area followed by sharp fleeting pain in another. It is as if a skillful surgeon was gently performing a very intricate surgical operation. When it was over, I noticed there had been a tremendous re-organization of consciousness. I had entered into what is classically known as the state of enlightenment.&lt;br /&gt;After having spent lifetimes seeking this almost mythical state of being, I was gifted with this state by an avatar in South India called Kalki Bhagavan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are thousands who have similarly received this state, and Kalki?s mission is ultimately to give enlightenment to every human being on this planet, a mission he intends to accomplish by 2012 AD, which is also the end-date of the Mayan calendar. I refer to this collective enlightenment as Enlightenment 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Kalki gives in his avataric consciousness is not a watered down version of enlightenment, but the same consciousness experienced by a Buddha, a Christ, a Milarepa, or a Ramana Maharshi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The enlightenment he gives is not based on teachings, morality, or effort, but a gift of grace transferred to you by a process known as the diksha. It initiates a neurobiological shift in the brain, which leads to enlightenment. This is our natural state, says Kalki.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kalki's teachings are universal. ?This has nothing to do with religion at all?, he emphasizes. Once you become enlightened your guiding light comes directly from within?. However, because of the Indian cultural context, which is primarily Hindu, some of the teachings and ceremonies take on the flavor of Hinduism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My intention is to translate the teachings into as universal a language as possible, and to share this as simply as possible, without using any metaphysical concepts, so that it can be relevant to every seeker, and even to those who might consider themselves beyond religious teachings. Ultimately, the only purpose of these teachings is to point out what you already know, and to guide you into the experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is my hope that as you will serve as a diksha. As I share these experiences, and something about the life and mission of Kalki and his wife, Amma, a single avataric consciousness in two bodies, it is my wish that all who read this book may be similarly blessed, and to know that the time of your soul?s deepest fulfillment is now here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I briefly recapitulate some of the other extraordinary events taking place on the Earth right now, including little known geological and cosmological findings that are shaping human evolution. I share briefly Sri Aurobindo?s vision of the supramental descent, and highlight some of the timing keys for our planetary journey of awakening based on cosmic cycles of time, which the Mayans were able to decode through their calendar system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I share what I have learned about other perceptions about planetary change, and how this sacred knowledge is spontaneously creating a field of enlightenment that so many are able to step into at this time. My hope is to provide a larger context for the amazing revolution that is now taking place in human evolution, in which Kalki is playing such a key role.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is an exciting time to be alive. Given what I know today, there is no place I would rather be in all this vast cosmos than right here on Earth during this glorious time of awakening. We have waited eons and lifetimes for this, and I echo, along with Kalki, that despite all the evidence of my outer senses, there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind or heart that humanity is going to make it this time!&lt;br /&gt;The world is a dream in the mind of God.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-4978356745668742530?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/4978356745668742530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=4978356745668742530' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/4978356745668742530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/4978356745668742530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/10/enlightenment-2012.html' title='Enlightenment 2012'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-1516808469633564516</id><published>2008-08-24T05:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-24T05:16:21.575-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Possibilities of 2012 Apocalypse</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SLFRC2zyELI/AAAAAAAAAgw/XrBW2v7tNvQ/s1600-h/end+of+days_2012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SLFRC2zyELI/AAAAAAAAAgw/XrBW2v7tNvQ/s200/end+of+days_2012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238056951122890930" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Possibilities of &lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the world situation as it is, we can explore the many traditions, prophecies, and predictions that point to 2012 apocalypse as  a potential end or turning point in human history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The End of the Mayan Long Count Calendar&lt;br /&gt;The most famous of the 2012 apocalypse predictions is the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar. The Mayan calendar can be pictured as a series of interlocking, concentric rotating&lt;br /&gt;gears. When the smallest gear completes its cycle (1 day) the next outermost gear turns. The largest “gear” in the system, the baktun, is about to complete its final tick. It is well-established by historians that the 13th baktun is to end on December 21st, 2012. There is slightly more disagreement as to whether or not this baktun is in fact the final one. Before we address that final controversy, it is important to understand when the Mayan calendar began, and how it is mapped onto our calendar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The start date of the Mayan calendar is established through astronomical and historical sources, as well as correlating established dates of the arrival of Spanish conquistadors and the existing native Long Count dates. The start date is widely accepted to be August 11th, 3114 BC. The end date of the 13th baktun, after ticking through all the smaller “gears", is none other than December 21st, AD 2012...the awaited and predicted apocalypse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time ticks by on the Mayan calendar through a series of five units of measurement, or the five “gears” alluded to earlier. The basic element is the kin, or 1 day. From there we tick up the other levels:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  * 1 Kin = 1 day&lt;br /&gt;  * 1 Uinal = 20 Kin (20 days)&lt;br /&gt;  * 1 Tun = 18 Uinal (360 days)&lt;br /&gt;  * 1 Katun = 20 Tuns (about 19 years)&lt;br /&gt;  * 1 Baktun = 20 Katuns (about 394 years)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To take a random date, such as February 5th,1983, the Mayandate would be 12.18.9.12.8, with baktuns on the left and kins on the far right. December 21st, 2012, would be written as 13.0.0.0.0.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mayans count from zero, so the first thirteen baktuns would be denoted in the digits 0 through 12.Using the five digit arrangement shown above, time ticks by on the Mayan calendar from right to left, starting with individual kins, which after ticking by 20 times would tick&lt;br /&gt;one Uinal and then reset to zero. These two cycles would continue and after 18 Uinals one Tun would click by. The iterations would continue with completions of each smaller cycle resulting in a tick of the next larger cycle up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some say that the baktun cycle actually ends at 19, and thus the December 2012 date is just the end of one great cycle, and the beginning of another, the 13th baktun. This is contradicted by the existence of creation myths, and the Mayan belief that the previous creation cycles lasted precisely 13 baktuns. John Major Jenkins, perhaps one of the most well-known students of the Mayan tradition, has the following to say about the thirteen versus twenty baktun cycle in his&lt;br /&gt;book Maya Cosmogenesis 2012:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Schele’s argument that a twenty-baktun cycle had precedence over the thirteen-baktun cycle is not well founded, confusing what one seventh-century Maya ruler said about the nature of the Long Count with what the original creators of it intended. A repeating thirteen-baktun cycle is implied wherever Creation monuments have been found-for example, at Coba and Quirigua. Rather than looking at Classic Period examples to define the nature of the Long Count, we need to look carefully at who created the Long Count system, and where and when it arose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jenkins refers to ancient Mayan creation monuments as existence of the 13 baktun creation cycle. There have been four previous creation cycles according to the Maya, and we are nearing the end of the fifth. The total length of time for all five is roughly 25,000 years.&lt;br /&gt;Jenkins also points out some more spooky astronomical synchronicities. The earth, as it rotates on its axis, has a distinct wobble. The wobble slowly changes and completes a cycle over a period of about 25,000 years. This wobble changes the angular alignment of the earth with the galactic plane. At the end of this cycle the solstice sun will align exactly with the galactic center. The end of the Mayan calendar, and the fifth cycle, and the date of galactic alignment with the solstice sun is Decmeber 21st, 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his article “The World Age Cosmology of the Maya Calendar End-Date in AD 2012?[11] he states:&lt;br /&gt;  The end-date of the 13-baktun cycle of the Long Count marks the precession-caused alignment of the solstice sun with the Milky Way, and based upon evidence in other Maya traditions including the Maya ballgame, king accession rituals, and the Maya creation mythology, there is every reason to believe that this was intentional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So to many observers of the Mayan calendar, its end date perfectly coincides with an extremely rare astronomical event. Jenkins goes on in the same article to state that other civilizations have associated the solstice-galaxy alignment with major earth events:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Egyptian cosmology describes a Zero Time, or Zep Tepi, of 10,800 B.C. during which the gods reigned supreme and the foundations of Egyptian civilization were laid. This period indicates the previous time that the solstice axis was lining up with the galaxy. The ancient Vedic material with its World Age doctrine of the Yugas also points to a time some 13,000 years ago that was a Golden Age of light. Specifically, Vedic astronomy describes the cycling of the sun around a celestial origin point called Vishnunahbi (this would be the apparent motion of the sun around the zodiac resulting from precession), and implies that we are now approaching a turnaround point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The coincidence, or synchronicities as some would say, between the Mayan calendar, galactic precession, and events here on earth is quite startling. But the Mayan scholars aren’t the only ones portending great change in 2012...apocalypse..!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/"&gt;2012 Apocalypse...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-1516808469633564516?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/1516808469633564516/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=1516808469633564516' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/1516808469633564516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/1516808469633564516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/08/possibilities-of-2012-apocalypse.html' title='The Possibilities of 2012 Apocalypse'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SLFRC2zyELI/AAAAAAAAAgw/XrBW2v7tNvQ/s72-c/end+of+days_2012.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-5923289739592568973</id><published>2008-08-01T20:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-24T05:30:09.945-07:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 Nostradamus Predictions</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SLFURo3Rt1I/AAAAAAAAAg4/5gT5FiCrVOE/s1600-h/nostradamus_2012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SLFURo3Rt1I/AAAAAAAAAg4/5gT5FiCrVOE/s200/nostradamus_2012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238060503612372818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did Nostradamus Predict Doom in 2012 Apocalypse ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several respected Nostradamus scholars believe that the famous seer did in fact predict World War III around this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the more active proponents of a Nostradamus-predicted World War III in 2012 is Dr. Michael Rathford, author of the book The Nostradamus Code: World War III 2008-2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his book, Dr. Rathford claims the between the years 2008 and 2012, World War III will erupt and transform the world forever. Nuclear bombs will be dropped, the Catholic Church will be ravaged and destroyed and the antichrist will arise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Specifically, in Dr. Rathford’s analysis[12], war erupts in the middle east, ostensibly after Iran, or a similar nation, decides to drop a nuclear bomb on Israel. Israel responds in kind. Europe then interferes to protect precious oil supplies in this era when resources and food are so critical. This causes Iran, or the middle-eastern nation, to attack Europe with nuclear weapons, most of which land in Italy. The Catholic church is ravaged, and the Pope is forced to flee into hiding. The stage is set for the rise of the antichrist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rathford continues his depiction of the height of the war with volcanoes, earthquakes, floods and droughts, especially affecting the United States, which will bankrupt itself during this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The antichrist rises to power in the middle east, taking over Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rathford completes his cataclysmic war with a helping of the following, in chronological order:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  * A communication breakdown between two superpowers leads to cataclysmic consequences.&lt;br /&gt;  * A third world leader causes significant problems.&lt;br /&gt;  * A war simulation in England backfires and results in real-world action.&lt;br /&gt;  * The US electorate system fails to produce a president, and civil war is narrowly averted through a new election.&lt;br /&gt;  * Rathford eventually wraps up his analysis of Nostradamus by stating that the current world will fall away, and a new enlightened world will take its place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s important to understand that this is just one interpretation of the predictions of Nostradamus. Other students of the famed seer, such as John Hogue, don’t predict such a detailed turn of events. Hogue, however, has been on record saying that a third world war is predicted for the next decade.[13]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In October of 2007 The History Channel aired a program entitled “The Lost Book of Nostradamus."[14] In this two hour documentary the idea is put forth that a lost book has been discovered, and the illustrations depicted therein warn of great cataclysm, even the end of the world, for the winter solstice in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The show follows both the history and content of an obscure collection of illustrations, long hidden in the National Library of Rome. The book was inscribed with Michel de Notredame, or Nostradamus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within the book were several watercolor illustrations depicting strange events, and often symbolic objects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The show claims the book was tucked away within the Vatican until such time as it should be discovered, and its secrets revealed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The show interprets one picture toward the end of the book as showing the alignment between the solstice sun and the galactic center, scheduled for December 21st, 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ultimately, the show cannot, with certainty, attribute the book to Nostradamus, and ultimately, their interpretations of the images are just speculation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did Nostradamus predict the end in 2012? It is hard to say he did. But with all things Nostradamus, until the event happens, the prescience of his knowledge won’t be revealed.&lt;br /&gt;Timewave Zero&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Timewave Zero is a theory that suggests time, or rather the novelty of existence within time, follows a series of self-similar patterns, or a fractal. This timewave, so to speak, has exhibited a fractal series of peaks and valleys, and through calculation, reaches a singularity in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terrence McKenna is credited with forming the Timewave Zero theory based on his correlations between the King Wen sequence of I Ching hexagrams and events in world history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The theory is somewhat difficult to grasp, but the key points are that the I Ching, when graphed, displays an uncanny similarity to the novelty of events throughout human history. Furthermore, this pattern shows up again and again when applied to smaller sections of time, such as the history of a civilization, or even the events of your day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McKenna himself did not predict doomsday in 2012, but rather thought that some monumental event would forever transform humanity.&lt;br /&gt;Christian Prophecy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world of Christian Prophecy has grown very crowded over the last two thousand years ago. The earliest Christians looked to the Apocalypse of the Apostle John, written in his exile on the Island of Patmos after divine revelation. This mysterious book is the most comprehensive biblical treatment on matters of the end, but additional prophecies appear in several books of the old testament, and also in the eschatological discourse of Jesus in the books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No prominent Christian groups predict with any sort of certainty the return of Christ in 2012. But nearly all traditions look around the world today, behold the abominations therein, and wonder if we are nearing the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the world of Catholic eschatology, which has been studying the Scripture for two thousand years, there exists some variation in beliefs or predictions regarding the end times. While the basic premise is the same, when one tries to pluck out very precise interpretations variations do occur. There is, however, some commonly believed events that will precipitate the end of history(from EWTN, full note at[15]):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  The Catechism provides us with a general order of events at the End [CCC 673-677]. Chronologically they are,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  1. the full number of the Gentiles come into the Church&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  2. the “full inclusion of the Jews in the Messiah’s salvation, in the wake of the full number of the Gentiles” (#2 will follow quickly on, in the wake of, #1)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  3. a final trial of the Church “in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth.” The supreme deception is that of the Antichrist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  4. Christ’s victory over this final unleashing of evil through a cosmic upheaval of this passing world and the Last Judgment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  As Cardinal Ratzinger recently pointed out (in the context of the message of Fátima), we are not at the end of the world. In fact, the Second Coming (understood as the physical return of Christ) cannot occur until the full number of the Gentiles are converted, followed by “all Israel.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  Approved Catholic mystics (Venerables, Blessed and Saints, approved apparitions) throw considerable light on this order, by prophesying a minor apostasy and tribulation toward the end of the world, after which will occur the reunion of Christians. Only later will the entire world fall away from Christ (the great apostasy) and the personal Antichrist arise and the Tribulation of the End occur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The books Prophecy for Today by Edward Connor, and Vincent Miceli’s The Antichrist are two good sources for end times discernment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In more recent time the notion of a Rapture, a great tribulation, and a thousand year reign of Christ on earth has become popular. This theory, largely promoted by John Nelson Darby in the 19th century, is relatively new given the two thousand year history of the Church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This idea has been expanded by many evangelicals, with some discerning very specific predictions based on the Scriptures in Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation. For example, Joel Rosenberg, author of The Ezekiel Option, believes the war of Gog and Magog, as spoke of in Ezekiel, will come to fruition as Russia and Iran attacking Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most comprehensive (and popular) of these scenarios was illustrated in the wildly popular Left Behind series, and similar series such as The Christ Clone Trilogy. Both of these series start off with the Rapture of Christians into heaven and a seven year period of tribulation here on earth. The Antichrist rises to power, deceives man, and triggers the return of Christ who reigns for a thousand years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the differences between older Christian eschatology and more recent interpretation, there are several consistencies within all Christian traditions, namely a great deception caused by the Antichrist that leads many souls astray, a trial of ultimate evil, and the return of Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An excellent treatment of the end times is achieved in the novel Father Elijah by Michael D. O’Brien. The novel follows a Catholic priest who is a convert from Judaism, and his role in the final days. It is a beautiful work of literature.&lt;br /&gt;Peak Oil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the most staggering of all scenarios, and by far the one most realized in today’s daily headlines, is the notion of peak oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peak oil is the idea that worldwide oil reserves are limited, our use of them has skyrocketed over the last century, we’re running out, and as we do, civilization is going to collapse. While the complete and total collapse of industrial civilization may seem preposterous, the peak oil theorists have done their homework. This is one idea that is actually unfolding in today’s headlines and has already impacted your life. Up for debate among peak oil theorists is when exactly the peak occurred or will occur, how fast society can replace its source of energy (if it even has time), and what the ramifications on our lives will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sources of oil are drying up. Worldwide oil production, depending on the source of data, has either just peaked, or is about to peak. According to Kenneth S. Deffeyes, oil production stopped growing in 2005[16]. But oil consumption hasn’t. Basic economics states that when demand for a product rises, yet supplies don’t, the price of the product will go up. The price of oil has skyrocketed to heights never before seen. Even adjusted for inflation, the price of oil is higher than it has ever been. For most of the 20th century oil maintained a 2008 inflation-adjusted price between $20 and $35 per barrel. In the late 1970s oil briefly ran over $100 per barrel in 2008 dollars. But over the last few years prices have soared, with oil hitting $145 in July 2008[17].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oil consumption is greater now than ever before. World population is greater now than ever before. These two items combine to form quite a problem. Consider what has happened to oil prices just over the last couple of years as supplies have just peaked. What will happen to the price of oil when supplies are half of what they are today, yet consumption and demand are even greater? If just a small setback in supply can have shocks on the price, what about dramatic setbacks in supply? Just passing the peak in oil will have enormous ramifications in all aspects of life.&lt;br /&gt;Everything is Tied to Oil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might not care about the price of oil. Maybe you don’t even drive a car, or you work at home, or you live in the city and walk everywhere you need to go. In our modern society, everything is tied to oil. Matt Savinar, who runs the site Life After the Oil Crash, points out quite well how everything we do in this modern world is tied to petroleum. The vast majority of our food supplies are subject to pesticides and fertilizers that come from oil. They are harvested using machines that not only run on oil, but nearly all of their parts are manufactured (and the raw materials mined!) with the aid of oil. Food is packaged and shipped to your supermarket, often across thousands of miles, using oil-powered transport. Savinar successfully makes the case that modern medicine, water distribution, and national defense are all powered by oil. Plastics? Yes. Computers? Yes. Ironically, even alternative fuel implements such as solar panels and windmills rely heavily on a traditional petroleum-based manufacturing process.[18]&lt;br /&gt;The Collapse of Civilization: Blackouts in 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if the engine that powers the world is breaking down, what happens? In short, a lot of bad things could happen. In a paper entitled “The Peak of World Oil Production and the Road to the Olduvai Gorge,” Richard Duncan describes the lifetime of industrial civilization as being limited to 100 years. For us, the 100 years began roughly in 1930, and will come to a dark closure around 2030. The Olduvai theory predicts widespread, permanent blackouts to begin in 2012.[19]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To envision what this new oil-parched world might look like, Savinar quotes journalist Paul Salopek[20]:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  …the consequences would be unimaginable. Permanent fuel shortages would tip the world into a generations-long economic depression. Millions would lose their jobs as industry implodes. Farm tractors would be idled for lack of fuel, triggering massive famines. Energy wars would flare. And carless suburbanites would trudge to their nearest big box stores, not to buy Chinese made clothing transported cheaply across the globe, but to scavenge glass and copper wire from abandoned buildings.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-5923289739592568973?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/5923289739592568973/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=5923289739592568973' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/5923289739592568973'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/5923289739592568973'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/08/2012-nostradamus-predictions.html' title='2012 Nostradamus Predictions'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SLFURo3Rt1I/AAAAAAAAAg4/5gT5FiCrVOE/s72-c/nostradamus_2012.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-6791238176453638319</id><published>2008-08-01T20:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-01T20:47:16.971-07:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 Metaphysical Predictions</title><content type='html'>Metaphysical predictions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2012 is sometimes claimed to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or apocalypse).

This is not necessarily a bad thing, as everyone has the right to pursue, and hopefully obtain, prosperity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Countries such as India and China are rising in prominence. The Gulf states, long rich on oil, are increasingly becoming a world center of business. Just look at Dubai, along with China, they’ve invested billions into America’s financial institutions. This was made easier and cheaper by America’s subprime mortgage collapse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the 2008 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, billionaire George Soros claimed the United States is at the end of a cycle and its currency will be dumped around the world. Soros said we’re at “the end of a 60-year period of continuing credit expansion based on the dollar as the reserve currency.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The result? The world is ready for a new economic order, and according to Nouriel Roubini, America looks like an emerging market, not an economic leader. Further sentiment was expressed by the head of Kuwait’s national bank that America needs to get used to being bought up by foreign sovereign wealth funds, in other words, foreign governments.[9]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To further complicate the world stage, as if in anticipation or in a test of US dominance, Russia and China have both announced preemptive nuclear strike policies. For Russia, this may very well entail creating mobile units with nuclear strike capabilities distributed throughout the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps in a time of peace this would just seem like bluster, but both Russia and China are aligned in direct opposition to the west in key hair-trigger geopolitical situations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been going since time immemorial. On one side you have the secular nation of Israel, carved out of the British Mandate after World War II, and home to many diverse groups throughout history, and home to some of the holiest sites in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. On the other side you have the Palestinians, many of which are unwilling to accept the existence of the state of Israel. It is a widely held, but false belief, that prior to Israel a sovereign nation of Palestine existed, and therefore modern Palestinians have a right to it, while Israel is squatting, but no such nation has ever existed. The name Palestine was given to a broad swath of territory within the British Mandate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The British Mandate itself was carved from the Ottoman Empire following World War I. Under the Ottoman Empire the region was home to diverse groups, living in largely tribal communities. Jews and Arabs have lived in the area for ages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what we have is an area home to diverse groups, historically living in tribes, and subject to various world powers, now reacting, and fighting, over areas of individual sovereignty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The situation is not going to improve anytime soon. Unfortunately, forces aligned against the existence of the nation of Israel include Syria and Iran. Pro-Syrian factions in Lebanon aren’t helping things either. Iran is backed by the Russians, and to some degree, the Chinese. Israel is backed by the United States, and to some extent, the nations of Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire region is a powder keg. Iran has repeatedly stated that Israel should be wiped off the map, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad routinely declares that the “Zionist regime” will come to an end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran has promised a massive retaliation if Israel or the United States attempts to bomb away its nuclear capability. Russia has stated that it would use nuclear weapons to defend itself and its allies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taiwan has proved itself to be a hair-trigger as well. China has repeatedly warned the United States about getting involved if a conflict breaks out over Taiwan. In fact, in 2005 a top Chinese general warned that if US weapons targeted Chinese territory or military assets, they would have no choice but to respond with nuclear weapons.[10]&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-3192851043805686386?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/3192851043805686386/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=3192851043805686386' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/3192851043805686386'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/3192851043805686386'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/08/2012-new-geopolitical-order.html' title='2012 A New GeoPolitical Order'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-8823137760662543809</id><published>2008-08-01T20:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T21:38:28.140-08:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 Year of The Dragon</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SJPWw3gfscI/AAAAAAAAACo/vtt-K1vHDpo/s1600-h/aztec_dragon2012.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SJPWw3gfscI/AAAAAAAAACo/vtt-K1vHDpo/s320/aztec_dragon2012.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229759727329587650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2012: The Year of the Dragon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Far off, unknown, beyond the range of thought,&lt;br /&gt;scarce reached by gods, the years' rough haggard mother,&lt;br /&gt;stands a primeval Cave in whose vast breast,&lt;br /&gt;is Time's cradle and womb. A Serpent encloses,&lt;br /&gt;the Cave, consuming all things with slow power,&lt;br /&gt;and green scales always glinting. Its mouth devours,&lt;br /&gt;the backbent tail as with mute motion it traces,&lt;br /&gt;its beginning.

[1]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Claudian (c. 370-408), Roman poet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of all the world's monsters, the dragon appears to be the most universal.  Dragons appear in the early literature of the English, German, Irish, Danish, Norse, Romans, Greeks, Babylonians, and Egyptians - and in oral tales from every inhabited corner of the globe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word "dragon" is derived from the Latin dracon, which came from the Greek word for serpent, spakov.  Spakov can be traced to the Greek aorist verb, spakelv meaning "sharp-sighted one" (a reference to the perceived good vision of snakes), and is related to many other ancient words to do with sight, such as darc (Sanskrit for see), derc (Old Irish for eye), torht  (Old Saxon) and zoraht (Old High German) which both mean clear, or bright.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The distinctions between words that describe dragons and snakes are often blurred, and are to some degree interchangeable.  The old German word for dragon, "lindwurm", literally means "snake-worm" The ancient Anglo-Saxon word "wyrm" has been translated as meaning any of "dragon," "serpent," or "worm".  An English folktale which dates back to the early fifteenth century tells of Sir John Lambton battling "the Worm."  The original story makes no mention of this "worm" having legs.  Early pictorial representations of dragons were almost always shown as large snakes, but from the sixteenth century onward images associated with the Lambton story are of four-legged dragons.  We must consider ancient dragons to be more like giant serpents, and less like the more modern fantasy images that we know so well from role-playing games and books like The Hobbit.&lt;br /&gt;The Bible interchanges the words dragon and serpent liberally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Revelation 12:7)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[ A good Biblical description of a dragon can be found at Job 41 ]&lt;br /&gt;The themes of chaos and disaster are often linked to dragon lore, as well as the processes of fertility and re-birth, and the revolutions of the cosmos.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-8823137760662543809?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/8823137760662543809/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=8823137760662543809' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/8823137760662543809'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/8823137760662543809'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/08/2012-year-of-dragon.html' title='2012 Year of The Dragon'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SJPWw3gfscI/AAAAAAAAACo/vtt-K1vHDpo/s72-c/aztec_dragon2012.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-8523916716101120374</id><published>2008-08-01T20:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-12-20T18:28:15.083-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012 apocalypse'/><title type='text'>2012 Where History Ends</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Where History Ends&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the greatest myths, are yet to happen - Michael Tsarion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt; and the "Age of Revealing"&lt;br /&gt;- The Destruction of Atlantis - The War of the Gods&lt;br /&gt;- The Genetic Manipulation of Humankind&lt;br /&gt;- The Fall of Man&lt;br /&gt;- The True Origins of Evil&lt;br /&gt;- The "Armageddon" Factor&lt;br /&gt;- The Decline of Politics and Religion&lt;br /&gt;- The Reasons for &amp;amp; Significance of the Present World Crises&lt;br /&gt;- The Occult History of America&lt;br /&gt;- The Subversion of the Spiritual Destiny of America&lt;br /&gt;- The Rise of the Anti-Christ (who is it?)&lt;br /&gt;- Why Iraq, and the "War on Terror?"&lt;br /&gt;- The Rising of the Nephilim&lt;br /&gt;- The Final Days of the Age of Pisces&lt;br /&gt;- What the "Prophecies" of Nostradamus Don't Tell Us&lt;br /&gt;- The "Photon Belt," the "Earth Grid" and the galactic alignments of the Next 10 years&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Program Two, of the "Origins &amp;amp; Oracles" series, Michael Tsarion explains exactly why the world is in the present state of decay, and who it is that really rules from the top of the "power pyramid." We discover that earth's crime-soaked history has been manipulated by powerful secret societies with bloodline connections to ancient alien visitors who crossed their own DNA with that of earth's indigenous inhabitants. According to Michael Tsarion's astonishing thesis, some of these original "Fallen Angels" are secretly interred beneath the ground in Iraq, Afghanistan, and in other locations around the globe. These "undead" vampiristic kings of old have been feeding off the death and mayhem, the pain and fear of human beings for millennia and their servants, upon the earth's surface, have orchestrated wars, assassinations, and a climate of perversity and debauchery to feed their dark masters soon to arise again from their unholy repose. This arising is forced due to the approach of powerful constellational alignments and the coming of an "Age of Revealing" referred to in ancient Maya texts, and in the Book of Revelations. It is of paramount importance that each and every human being discovers what these alignments will mean, what the future holds, and what the world's ancient scriptures are warning us about. This riveting investigation into the occult history of the world will open your eyes and allow you to make sense of the agendas of government and religion, the strange preoccupations of the media, and much of what will transpire in future years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, Michael also reminds to us of the importance of cleansing the "inner temple." He reminds us that a toxic mind creates a toxic society. It is schizoid people who inevitably create a schizogenic society, and who are responsible for raising-up the sadistic "Orwellian" regimes which prey over the good and the free. Michael delineates for us the age-old connections between mind and world, between microcosm and macrocosm, so that we are again empowered with proactive and sustainable solutions. Michael insists that we must re-learn how to put our own inner houses in order before our efforts at overcoming our inhuman adversaries can be successful. Other stratagems are merely akin to "re-arranging the furniture on the Titanic," and have not been working. Therefore, it is time for humanity to show zero-tolerance for all the false paths and leads, and to have the truth about change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/08/2012-what-do-i-do.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-what-do-i-do&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-8523916716101120374?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/8523916716101120374/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=8523916716101120374' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/8523916716101120374'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/8523916716101120374'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/08/2012-where-history-ends.html' title='2012 Where History Ends'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-4794712812297664797</id><published>2008-08-01T20:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-01T20:34:38.163-07:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 What Do I Do ?</title><content type='html'>2012: What do I do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2012 may come and go like any other year, but odds are the amount of turmoil in the world will continue to increase.

What I dream does not relate to what other people say about 2012, except that I dream in numbers frequently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I shut off the radio I had this dream:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DREAM: I was in a warm climate somewhere. Out the window of the house I was in, I saw 2 plane crashes, one after another, and then saw a strange-shaped cloud in the sky that suddenly went scudding across the sky really fast. The cloud changed so that it looked like a Mayan astronaut on a magic flying carpet - all in white.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ran home because I heard my daughters screaming. When I ran into the room, the girls shouted that the Christmas tree was falling over and they were trying desperately to keep it up by propping it up with wooden canes with handles on them. I couldn't get the tree to stand up either and leaned it on the round dining room table.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the table was a blue table cloth I had knitted with a circular pattern on it.  The pattern consisted of 3 stacked rows of numbers and right/left glyphs in block style. I knew this represented the Mayan calendar At the innermost part of this calendar circle was a small scissors shape and I knew I should use a 'thame' to divide the stack of numbers and when I used the scissors and drew it down the stack of numbers, the numbers that were 1 - 1 became 2-2&lt;br /&gt;and the ones that were _ - 1 became 1 - _.  The ones that were _ -1 became 1 - _ . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe came rushing in and I showed him what happened to the Mayan calendar cycle and that it had shifted and doubled its numbers. He looked at it and then realized that the third row over&lt;br /&gt;should be shifted as well.  What as ||||| - _ should be _ - ||||| and the lines that were _ - ||||| should be _ - |||||.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So he physically shifted them over one by one leaving them looking like big holes _____ and I knew I was going to have to mend the holes so that it once again became the shifted pattern it was supposed to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joe was all excited that we had discovered what had happened to the Mayan calendar cycle in 2012. It wasn't ending, it was shifting and doubling.  Joe said, "I'm going to have to call George Noory and go on the radio and tell him this."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;End of dream:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This related to another dream I had of the Mayan Calendar: http://www.greatdreams.com/26.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-14-2001 - I had spent an hour knitting an afghan which was very complicated. My eyes were getting tired, so I decided to lay down and take a nap. The dream was very strange, related to&lt;br /&gt;the knitting I had just been doing ... but the numbers in the vision and the way I was knitting was NOT normal.&lt;br /&gt;Women who know how to knit will understand this better than men will. I knitted a cast-off of 26 stitches on a swatch of material.  In the next row I cast back on 26 stitches so that it created a long narrow rectangular window, rather like a button hole.  I also cast-off one stitch in one row, then cast on that same stitch on the next row, thereby making a square hole. The dream showed me that it was labeled 'camera'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then a box was created (which is impossible to do in knitting) of 26 cast off stitches, a number of rows knitted up, then cast back on 26 stitches so that a square box was created and it was held open by a stick on the diagonal from corner to corner, left bottom to upper right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't even going to write this down, but the numbers keep nagging at me and why was that one stitch called, 'camera'?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE: After researching the number, it appears that the '26' represents the long count and the '1' represents the short count of the Mayan calendar system.Some Mayan groups froze their New Year to July 26, “when Sirius rises in that part of the world.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On January 1 at midnight, Sirius culminates, reaching its highest point in the sky, at the only time of year when it is visible all night long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE: I wondered why the planes fell out of the sky at the same time the Mayan cloud scudded across the sky - and that could be caused by a sudden pole shift. That would probably explain the Christmas tree falling over making the girls scream, but I was obviously oblivious to what had just happened.  It didn't affect me physically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found this: 'in camera' (adverb) Synonyms: SECRETLY, by stealth, clandestinely, covertly,&lt;br /&gt;furtively, hugger-mugger, privately, stealthily, sub rosa, surreptitiously&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus the word camera is not just a noun ... the name of an object we take for granted .  Perhaps there is something else going on. the divine Name Jehovah Elohim, we should note that, in Hebrew, Jehovah adds to 26, the number of letters in the english alphabet and the value of GOD in the LUX code. In the NOX code, the Holy Word of Tantrick Buddhism, OM, as well as the Lost&lt;br /&gt;Word of the Master Masons as MABN, or ABMN, also add to 26. The Hebrew transliterations of these two secret Words possess the same value as our Word of the Law, Thelema, 93.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long Count&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another component of the Mayan calendar is called the Long Count. It is made up of the larger cycles of the Mayan calendar and seems to extend to infinity. It is composed of a 360-day cycle called tun, a 20-tun cycle called katun and a 20-katun (400-tun) cycle called baktun. There are also larger cycles calculated by multiplying the baktun by twenty, and the resulting cycle by twenty and so on.&lt;br /&gt;In the astrological use of the Long Count, a 13-tun cycle, a 13-katun cycle and a 13-baktun cycle are also counted. Notice the similarity between the 360 days of the tun and the 360° of a circle and the zodiac. Don't confuse the 360-day tun with the 365-day Haab. The 360-day tun is composed of complete 20-day Daykeeper cycles (18 x 20 = 360), while the 365-day Haab is&lt;br /&gt;not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is relevant to us today is that we are approaching the end of a 13-baktun cycle. When people generally say that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, they are referring to the end of this&lt;br /&gt;125-year cycle that began in 3114 BCE. There is some controversy over the starting and ending dates of this particular 13-baktun cycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to better understand why some believe that the Mayan Long Count actually ends in 2012, it is necessary to recognize certain astrological and galactic cycles. There exist astrological cycles that map the "light" of creation, the "seedings" from the darkness and the interplay between the light and the dark that is fundamental to creation itself. The cycles of the Sun and Venus together are a key light cycle. Eclipse cycles are a fundamental cycle of darkness for the&lt;br /&gt;Earth. The interrelationships between the cycles of light and dark reveal the ongoing creation of life on the Earth and the evolution of the Earth within the Galaxy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A major Sun/Venus event occurs in 2012, as do two profound solar eclipses. The coming together of a cycle of light and a cycle of darkness at the time of the conclusion of a unique series of galactic alignments hints at the underlying reason why the conclusion of this Mayan 13-baktun cycle is sometimes called the end of the Mayan calendar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2012, there will be the rare occurrence of a transit of Venus. This is when Venus passes directly in front of the Sun from our perspective on the Earth. It is a perfect alignment between the Earth, Venus and the Sun. The last transit of Venus occurred in 1882, around the time of the rediscovery of ancient Mayan sacred sites. Transits of Venus occur on the average twice every 120 or so years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See: http://www.greatdreams.com/poleshift.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The Mayans used the stars and planetary cycles to keep time since the stars and planets can pretty much be counted on to remain the same from year to year. Many cultures did this - keeping track of the rising and setting of the moon, sun, and various planets and stars over time, marking them with standing stones such as Stonehenge and others around the world like that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some examples:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venus: According to the Manuscript of Serna, a missionary report from central Mexico, the natives "adored and made more sacrifices" to Venus than any other "celestial or terrestrial&lt;br /&gt;creatures" apart from the sun. The Manuscript also tells us that . "The reason why this star  was held in such esteem by the lords and people, and the reason why they counted their days by this star and yielded reverence and offered sacrifices to it, was because these deluded natives thought or believed that when one of their principal gods, named Topilzin or Quetzalcoatl, died and left this world, he transformed himself into that resplendent star."&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The Maya equivalent of Quetzalcoatl was Kukulkan. Both the Nahautl and Yucatec names translate as "quetzel bird-snake" or "plumed serpent". Kukulkan was a post-Classical deity, perhaps introduced to the Maya by the Toltecs, who were influential at Chichen Itza and other centres in the northern Yucatan. Bishop Landa, writing in 1566 reported that "[With] the Itzas who settled Chichen Itza there ruled a great lord named Cuculcan, as an evidence of which the principal building [pyramid] is called Cuculcan. They said he came from the West, but are not agreed as to whether he came before or after the Itzas, or with them. . . and that after his return he was regarded in Mexico as one of their gods, and called Cezalcohuati [Quetzalcoatl]. In the Yucatan also he was reverenced as a god, because of his great services to the state, as appeared in the order which he established in the Yucatan after the death of the chiefs, to settle the discord caused in the land . "&lt;br /&gt;In Maya myth, Venus is the companion of the sun. This no doubt reflects the fact that Venus is always close to the sun in the sky, rising not long before sunrise as morning star or after sunset as evening star. In the Classical period (250-900 AD), Venus was associated with Hun Ahaw, who guided his twin Yax Balam, the sun, through the Underworld.  Hun Ahaw later became&lt;br /&gt;Hunaphu in the Hero Twins myth cycle in the post-Conquest  Popul Vuh. Translator Dennis Tedlock interprets these myths as an account of the apparitions of Venus from heliacal rise as&lt;br /&gt;morning star, through disappearance beneath the night time horizon, to rise again as evening star. See "The Chinkultic disk" for more about the Hero twins&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;X   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The association between the sun and Venus appears to date back to the pre-Classical period.  A huge pair of jaguar masks decorated a temple facade at Cerros in about 50 BC.  According to Schele and Freidel, the lower masks represent the sun at each horizon; the upper masks symbolize Venus as morning and evening star.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Venus table in the post-Classical  Dresden Codex  (c. 1200 AD) begins with heliacal rise of the planet on the date 1 (hun) Ahaw in the sacred almanac known as the tzolk'in.  But the post-Classical deity most closely associated with Venus is Kukulkan, the Maya counterpart of the Aztec/Toltec culture hero Quetzelcoatl. He is illustrated in the Dresden Codex Venus table. However,  the table actually includes a whole pantheon of Venus deities.  Kulkukan is portrayed as only one of four Lords of Venus at heliacal rise. There are also four Lords of Venus as morning star, and Venus Lords for each of the other apparitions of the planet.  More about the Dresden Codex Venus table and Venus deities&lt;br /&gt;From: http://members.shaw.ca/mjfinley/glyphs.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  " I want to pay full attention go the planet Venus.  As you know, it takes 243 days to make an entire circle around the sun. With this number, many codes can be broken. My intuition drew me straight to the number that shows the shifting of the Zodiac.  I divided this number by the orbit&lt;br /&gt;period of Venus and came to the amazing conclusion:  25,920 divided by 243 = 106.66666. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patrick Geryl relates the number 106.66666 to the 2012 Apocalypse. After a lot of calculations, on page 247, he says, "I found it! This was exactly what the Bible predicted. The number 66666&lt;br /&gt;indicates that the end of an era has been or will be reached. And Venus is the main code in it!"&lt;br /&gt;"my attention was drawn to a chapter  about the period of the orbit of Venus. I thumbed through it - maybe I could discover something interesting, you never know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly I felt as thought I had been struck by lightning. What I saw that the period of the orbit of Venus was not 243 but 224.7 days. the number 243 was mentioned beneath the orbit period, and involved the number of days Venus needs to rotate on its own axis. Our earth only needs one day to do this, but Venus takes a lot more time. It turns so slowly that it takes over a Venusian year to make one rotation - the Venusian day is longer than its year. ... This led me  to discover something incredibly important, you will understand in a minute. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Since 1964, radar observations have provided another point of view, proving that the rotation&lt;br /&gt;lasts 243 days and runs backwards! ,,,,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"1) The codes prove that the number 243 is important and was well known by the people of Atlantis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2) The number 25,920 shows us the precession of the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That means that after 25,920 years, the earth has made one retrograde rotation around its axis. Each year, the earth rotates 3,333 seconds less around its axis, which amounts to 86,400 seconds (or one day) after 25,920 years. This is a similar code to the one of Venus because the movement of Venus is opposite of the earth. It takes Venus 243 days to turn around its axis in reverse mode to the earth. That is the reason why these 243 days were found amongst their code calculations. The earth and Venus have a common point of contact, the orbit period lasts one day in 25,920 years in earthly time and 243 days in Venus time! They couldn't have&lt;br /&gt;chosen a more brilliant point of departure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 3) The orbit period of Venus can only be registered by a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sophisticated technological apparatus. Did the people of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atlantis have such equipment? If they did, the implications are&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;enormous, but I cannot find any other explanation. Furthermore,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we know now that they had knowledge about solar magnetism, and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the sunspot cycle, for which you need at least telescopes and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;probably other equipment. And what is more, you need precision&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;clockwork to measure the orbit period of Venus and the earth,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as well as to fix your position...... continuing: The Venus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;table in the Dresden Codex gives us a clear view of the ritual&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maya calendar, showing the positions of Venus in the sky. This&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venus table refers to 65 cycles of 584 days, which means 37,960&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;days all together, equal to `46 of the total number of cycles&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of 260 days of the Maya calendar, as well as to 104 of the Maya&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;solar years of 365 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Chapter 18, on page 254, Patrick Geryl refers us to the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;number 20, also prominent in Maya time references:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He writes: "The number 20 in the calculations of the solar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;magnetism: 68, 328 x 20 - 1,366,560 = code number  The Dresden&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Codex for the Maya sunspot cycle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"68,302 x 20 = 1,366,040 = the number that refers to the 20th&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cycle in which the sunspot cycle switches poles. All these&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;numbers show us very clearly the source of this number 20. In&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this case you still don't believe me, divide 576 by 50&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;invisible days and the result is: 576 divided by 50 = 11.52. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you now multiply this by 1000, you get the exact interval&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of the previous crash!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He continues: " There were still the eight days during which&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venus disappears behind the sun. When I multiplied eight by the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;small "Holy Numbers' of the Maya and the Egyptians, I obtained&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the number of the shifting of the Zodiac and the orbit period&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of Venus. Now I know both numbers refer to Venus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;72 x 8 = 576&lt;br /&gt;73 x 8 = 584&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Once again, this proved that the codes were related to each&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;other. The period of eight days when Venus disappears behind&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the sun indicates that Venus and the sun are closely connected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Venus refers to the bygone switches of the magnetic field of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the sun, and also the big one to come, which will cause the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;catastrophe on earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I found one additional connection: Venus makes 13 orbits&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;around the sun in eight years. This was once more a remarkable&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;reference to the previous numbers already known.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13 x 8 = 104.  104 is a well-known Mayan number. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After many more number calculations, all relating to Venus and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the Sun, he concludes that in 2012, we are going to have a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;major crash catastrophe on earth because it has happened&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;previously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See:  The World Cataclysm in 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some time ago, in January, 2000, I wrote about the number nine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;which I dreamed about several times. This also fits into the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;time cycle of the Mayans:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.greatdreams.com/nine/nine.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In ancient Greece, 9 was the number of the Muses, patron&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;goddesses of the arts. They were the daughters of Mnemosyne&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;("memory"), the source of imagination, which in turn is the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;carrier of archetypal, elementary ideas to artistic,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;realization in the field of space-time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The number 9, that is to say, relates traditionally to the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great Goddess of Many Names (Devi, Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Artemis, Venus, etc.) as matrix of the cosmic process, whether&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in the macrocosm or in a microcosmic field of manifestation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason for the suppression of her image by a clergy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;interested in the claims only of a divinity heavily bearded,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;therefore, can be readily surmised; but why the same company of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;priestly doctors so artfully concealed in their document an&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;unmistakable notice of their own knowledge of her power awaits&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;interpretation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The profundity and sublime majesty of the suppressed mythology&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;can be appreciated best by way of two apparently unrelated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;clocks, one, the ultimate clock of outer space, and the other&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of inner space - respectively, the astronomical precession of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the equinoxes and the physiological beat of the human heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding the first; the slow westward motion, in the course of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;years, of the equinoctial points around the  beltway of the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;zodiac (the vernal equinox, for example, moving from the sign&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of Aries, where it had been before the birth of Christ, through&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pisces, where it is now, toward Aquarius, where it will be in a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;couple hundred years )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE: that date is highly controversial:  See AQUARIUS and AGES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This complete cycle of the twelve zodiacal signs exactly 25,920&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;years, which term is known as a "great" or "Platonic" year. But&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if we divide 25,920 by 60 (which is the ancient Mesopotamian&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;soss, or basic segesimal unit of astronomical measurement,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;still used in the measurement of circles whether of time or of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;space), the quotient is 432. Moreover: 2+5+9+2+0 = 18.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And regarding the second, the inward clock: I have read in a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;popular book on physical education that "A conditioned man, who&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;exercises regularly, will have a resting heart rate of about 60&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;beats per minute or less . . . Sixty per minute time 60&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;minutes, equals 3600 beats per hour. Times 24 hours, equals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;86,400 beats a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE: In another article read just moments ago, it was stated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that the heart rests in between beats for 9 hours a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is strange that in our history books, the discovery of the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;precession of the equinoxes should be attributed always to the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greek Hipparchus, second century BC, when the magic number 432&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(which when multiplied by 60 produces 25,920) was already&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;employed in the reckoning of major cycles of time before that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;century. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See: The Number 432 by Joe Mason&lt;br /&gt;See: The Code of the Ancients&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along with this subject comes this fitting dream:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9-13-98 - DREAM - The dream started out with a vision of a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;clock-like symbol which resembled a rounded diamond-like shape&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with the largest point up, down, and to both sides. These&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;points all had feminine names. There was a dark man involved&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;also to prevent us from getting all the way around the Zodiac&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;clock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I woke up and went back into a dream in which I was at home at&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my 16th St. house. It was going to rain and I rushed inside the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;house to get a gauge to hang up to measure the rain because the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;prediction was for 71 inches of rain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hung up the first part of the gauge which was a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;rectangle-like block plaque with a slot on it on which I&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;balanced what looked like a small book which looked like a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;diary to keep records in. There was a name written on the book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I can't remember what it was) A strong mist began to fall as I&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;rushed back to the house to get the gauge tube and my mother&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;held open the door for me because I had to hurry if I was going&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to catch all of the rain which I knew was going to get a lot&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;heavier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;End of Dream&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds rather Deluge-like to me!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-2951422979289052519?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/2951422979289052519/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=2951422979289052519' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/2951422979289052519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/2951422979289052519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/08/2012-coming-of-new-age.html' title='2012 The Coming of The New Age'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-1776190787513305224</id><published>2008-08-01T20:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-01T20:19:25.833-07:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 PROPHECY OR NOT ?</title><content type='html'>1-12-2012 is such a special subject that I like to pick special times to discuss it when possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In just a few hours time the light reflected by the moon will be halted as that magnificent orb is swallowed into the shadow of the Earth. This is to be the last total eclipse of the Moon visible from this location until 21-12-2010. To me this seemed a most opportune moment to deal with another great light that is being slowly obscured by the shadows of misunderstanding and ignorance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am referring here to the now rather famous Mayan Calendar. I can only hope that as with the Moon’s submergence into darkness, what has been happening with the calendar will also prove to be temporary.  Hopefully I can clarify this line of thought a little more here as we progress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The end of the Mayan calendar in the year 2012 has become intrinsically linked to various prophetic writings of late. This is mainly due to channelled information being made available in books and web-sites all over the world. Though I do believe channelled wisdom can be a genuine source of help in these difficult and troubled times, we should be careful to keep it separate from physical evidence. Too often researchers either latch on only to the solid physical evidence, or just the voices of ethereal beings heard via certain gifted persons. My own position is that the two can help us understand the times we find ourselves living in, but only through careful discernment and even more careful integration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me the Mayan calendar data is a non-prophetic source of wisdom regarding future events. Calendars track time, they also track events in time that are cyclical. Whether those events are artificial mind constructs such as Halloween or more solid natural happenings like the Solstice. Often we see people posting to 2012 groups and sites that the Mayans were talking nonsense, that it’s impossible they could of known the future, and that if they had why would their civilisation have fallen. This comes from a grave misunderstanding, and sheer ignorance, understandable perhaps however as this is hardly subject matter taught in schools or openly discussed in the broader public domain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets clarify the difference between reasoned prediction and prophetic prediction regarding the year 2012. We can reasonably predict that the month of July in 2012 will be warm here in my country, and that December will be cold. Does this mean that we here are prophets, and that upon the occurrence of this happening we will be seen as having supernatural powers on our side?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is of course no, rather we know that based on the past observations of Earth’s seasons we can reasonably deduce future weather and climate patterns. That is because, like many functions of the planet, these patterns work in a cyclical fashion. They repeat again and again with only marginal variance during fairly large spans of time. If I were to state that in the year 2012 aliens would arrive, and state that my certainty came about through a mystical vision, or some kind of communication with higher levels of existence, then this would indeed be prophecy and its fulfilment make me a prophet of sorts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mayans as a people were not prophets, not to say none of them were but certainly their major system of plotting future events was not reliant upon prophets.  If that had been the case why use over 20 specific calendars intermeshing in a most brain hurting fashion, churning out masses of data on cyclical phenomena?&lt;br /&gt;Surely all that would have been needed was a large central temple in which the prophets would sit, occasionally emerging to give some decree about troublesome or fortunate upcoming events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before anyone tries to argue that this was the function of the temples that have indeed been found in Central America, let me just remind you that these have been shown to be places of scientific observation, jungle based observatories for Mayan astronomers mapping the precise cycles of the various stars and planets. Once again we see the laborious investigation of cyclical phenomena not the investiture in supernatural phenomena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21-12-2012 should be seen as a prediction based on solid experience of past observable events and cyclic patterns, this was clearly the absolute focus of Maya science, indeed the central focus of their culture and cosmology.  What people should be asking is not whether the Mayans predicted the end of the world, whether there will be a new calendar or whether the Mayans were inclined toward mysticism as much as science.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question should now be obvious to anyone, just what the heck were the going to all of this trouble to track?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What could of happened in the past that was such a big deal it caused an entire nation to abandon research into many areas we see as important, to focus wholly on this one task?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mayans of course did have great interest in more esoteric matters, they had a pantheon of Gods and at times accredited supernatural powers to certain persons as well as to animals and objects. The trouble is that modern western 2012 writers are sometimes too quick in amalgamating these two distinct aspects of ancient Mayan society and allowing the mix to colour the scientific basis for concern regarding the calendar end date. We can synergise the two in the same books but only if we are careful to clarify our reasons to do so. It is essential to show that in the end, the Mayan Calendar is not giving us a doomsday prophecy comparable to those of the now near legendary French prophet Michel De Nostradame. Nor is it the same as the prophecies of the various indigenous peoples around the world who have come out to state expectations regarding the year 2012 due to their own mystical traditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a mystic myself, with hundreds of strange events under my belt, I would be in no hurry to remove the mystical elements of 2012 period information provided by any culture. If data regarding the time we live in and the near future comes from supernatural and esoteric sources I know to study it very carefully as it may well be of great help.

This is to be the last total eclipse of the Moon visible from this location until 21-12-2010. To me this seemed a most opportune moment to deal with another great light that is being slowly obscured by the shadows of misunderstanding and ignorance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am referring here to the now rather famous Mayan Calendar. I can only hope that as with the Moon’s submergence into darkness, what has been happening with the calendar will also prove to be temporary.  Hopefully I can clarify this line of thought a little more here as we progress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The end of the Mayan calendar in the year 2012 has become intrinsically linked to various prophetic writings of late. This is mainly due to channelled information being made available in books and web-sites all over the world. Though I do believe channelled wisdom can be a genuine source of help in these difficult and troubled times, we should be careful to keep it separate from physical evidence. Too often researchers either latch on only to the solid physical evidence, or just the voices of ethereal beings heard via certain gifted persons. My own position is that the two can help us understand the times we find ourselves living in, but only through careful discernment and even more careful integration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me the Mayan calendar data is a non-prophetic source of wisdom regarding future events. Calendars track time, they also track events in time that are cyclical. Whether those events are artificial mind constructs such as Halloween or more solid natural happenings like the Solstice. Often we see people posting to 2012 groups and sites that the Mayans were talking nonsense, that it’s impossible they could of known the future, and that if they had why would their civilisation have fallen. This comes from a grave misunderstanding, and sheer ignorance, understandable perhaps however as this is hardly subject matter taught in schools or openly discussed in the broader public domain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets clarify the difference between reasoned prediction and prophetic prediction regarding the year 2012. We can reasonably predict that the month of July in 2012 will be warm here in my country, and that December will be cold. Does this mean that we here are prophets, and that upon the occurrence of this happening we will be seen as having supernatural powers on our side?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is of course no, rather we know that based on the past observations of Earth’s seasons we can reasonably deduce future weather and climate patterns. That is because, like many functions of the planet, these patterns work in a cyclical fashion. They repeat again and again with only marginal variance during fairly large spans of time. If I were to state that in the year 2012 aliens would arrive, and state that my certainty came about through a mystical vision, or some kind of communication with higher levels of existence, then this would indeed be prophecy and its fulfilment make me a prophet of sorts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mayans as a people were not prophets, not to say none of them were but certainly their major system of plotting future events was not reliant upon prophets.  If that had been the case why use over 20 specific calendars intermeshing in a most brain hurting fashion, churning out masses of data on cyclical phenomena?&lt;br /&gt;Surely all that would have been needed was a large central temple in which the prophets would sit, occasionally emerging to give some decree about troublesome or fortunate upcoming events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before anyone tries to argue that this was the function of the temples that have indeed been found in Central America, let me just remind you that these have been shown to be places of scientific observation, jungle based observatories for Mayan astronomers mapping the precise cycles of the various stars and planets. Once again we see the laborious investigation of cyclical phenomena not the investiture in supernatural phenomena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21-12-2012 should be seen as a prediction based on solid experience of past observable events and cyclic patterns, this was clearly the absolute focus of Maya science, indeed the central focus of their culture and cosmology.  What people should be asking is not whether the Mayans predicted the end of the world, whether there will be a new calendar or whether the Mayans were inclined toward mysticism as much as science.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question should now be obvious to anyone, just what the heck were the going to all of this trouble to track?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What could of happened in the past that was such a big deal it caused an entire nation to abandon research into many areas we see as important, to focus wholly on this one task?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mayans of course did have great interest in more esoteric matters, they had a pantheon of Gods and at times accredited supernatural powers to certain persons as well as to animals and objects. The trouble is that modern western 2012 writers are sometimes too quick in amalgamating these two distinct aspects of ancient Mayan society and allowing the mix to colour the scientific basis for concern regarding the calendar end date. We can synergise the two in the same books but only if we are careful to clarify our reasons to do so. It is essential to show that in the end, the Mayan Calendar is not giving us a doomsday prophecy comparable to those of the now near legendary French prophet Michel De Nostradame. Nor is it the same as the prophecies of the various indigenous peoples around the world who have come out to state expectations regarding the year 2012 due to their own mystical traditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a mystic myself, with hundreds of strange events under my belt, I would be in no hurry to remove the mystical elements of 2012 period information provided by any culture. If data regarding the time we live in and the near future comes from supernatural and esoteric sources I know to study it very carefully as it may well be of great help. Yet the mundane logical side of me always checks first which category the data is really coming from, even myths and legends often turn out to be simply warped physical historical events rather than magical matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though I argue the Mayan Calendar ending is not a 2012 prophecy, there are however some sources to be considered that most certainly do fall under that category.

Indigo simply refers to a chakras or an aura that is part of every human being. This aura is a metaphysical energy that is either repressed by will or by nature. Maybe to tap into this energy field is taboo and might have been considered heresy by some religious cults in days not so long past. But the fact of the matter is that more and more people are becoming aware of the possibility of other realms which can only be brought forth from the ethereal by accepting that there is such a thing and developing the mental tools necessary to live by the laws of extra sensorial perception.Some people, commonly known as psychics or mediums already know this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are however more and more cases being recorded about children being born with the gift of extra sensorial enlightenment. These gifted children are the Indigo Children. They show signs of increased intelligence and often find adults to be callous and self seeking. They often rebel in school perhaps somehow knowing that the material being fed to them is somehow a plot to repress what they know by intuition to be a truth beyond the realm that these well paid teachers are contracted to teach them.Are these Indigo Children the product of some evil anti social behavioural cycle or are they the new norm for the way people will live in the future?There is no answer to that question. All we can do is study the behaviour of the Indigo Child to see where this is leading. Of course the past may repeat itself as major schools attempt to stabilize their perceived reality by subjugating these children through a program of "drug induced reality".The Indigo Children seem to exhibit a mythical sense that may be the Yin to the Yang of two spirits from long ago. They may be sitting on the apogee of a curve bell where Homer the intuitive poet and Plato the rational scientist meet once again.Daniel Pinchbeck and the psychiatrist Carl Yung may have said it best when Yung stated that " People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls.", and Pinchbeck when he states that "cultural repression has been exerted on the subject of psychedelics."This is not an advertisement for ecstasy, or DMT, or any other legal or illegal drug. Far from it, the Indigo Children seem to be born with a drug free sense to see and experience an unknown realm. This realm has been seeked by shamen who use natural herbs and drug users/abusers who use cosmetic laboratory fabricated magical potions to induce trips that lead them into netherlands. McKenna and 2012 apocalypse theorists have experimented with these mind altering substances in that near past and for centuries before.The Indigo Children may soon be the paradigm of the Indigohomonid. A new breed in a New Age of enlightement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012 Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-consciousness-singularity.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2012-consciousness-singularity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-5657418786496039014?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/5657418786496039014/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=5657418786496039014' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/5657418786496039014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/5657418786496039014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-indigo-child.html' title='2012  The Indigo Child'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-5055651612976376980</id><published>2008-07-23T07:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T21:38:28.606-08:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 The Consciousness Singularity</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9dewa9L3I/AAAAAAAAABU/5t78U3o2rUA/s1600-h/miilkyway_2012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9dewa9L3I/AAAAAAAAABU/5t78U3o2rUA/s320/miilkyway_2012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228500475375857522" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2012 &amp;amp; The Consciousness Singularity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mayan CalendarIf you have not yet encountered any of the information related to this particular year amongst counterculture web pages, books and radio shows, it is worth taking a quick look at the background data. 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is also evidence that the 21-12-2012 apocalypse 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. On that day the milky way will seem to rise horizontal to the Nile on the ground, whilst Orion’s belt will align with the three major pyramids, revealing the old axiom, ’as above so below’. Additionally the sun will rise up into the position of alignment with the centre of our milk way galaxy, whilst Venus will switch to its morning star phase in its cycle. 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are the physical &amp;amp; meta-physical happenings associated with the year 2012 apocalypse?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alice FallingThe 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 apocalypse 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”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 &amp;amp; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Important points to emphasize:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Despite much of what is being said on the internet currently 21-12-2012 is not a doomsday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Much of what is being discussed in relation to the subject is in no way sanctioned by the actual indigenous Mayan people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Practically every form of supernatural, spiritual, and esoteric phenomena is in some way now linked to the 2012 subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-5055651612976376980?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/5055651612976376980/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=5055651612976376980' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/5055651612976376980'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/5055651612976376980'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-consciousness-singularity.html' title='2012 The Consciousness Singularity'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9dewa9L3I/AAAAAAAAABU/5t78U3o2rUA/s72-c/miilkyway_2012.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025582489207328655.post-5063428365824407181</id><published>2008-07-23T07:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T21:38:28.916-08:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 Gaia Theory</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9Z6MEjl3I/AAAAAAAAAA0/U-ldt713Q48/s1600-h/gaia.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9Z6MEjl3I/AAAAAAAAAA0/U-ldt713Q48/s320/gaia.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228496548608055154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the Gaia hypothesis?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The planet is a single organism and maintains itself accordingly. This concept was introduced by James Lovelock in the 1960's. Gaia is suggestive of the idea of Mother Earth who nurtures life through birth and rebirth. The regenerative force or energy that is gaia is an intercourse of physical, biological, chemical, and geological processes that is a cycle of birth, sickness, healing, sickness, healing, sickness, death, rebirth.&lt;br /&gt;Lovelock's concept is in sync with the ancient concepts of creation such has the Satya Yuga of Lord Brahma, and other mythical concepts.&lt;br /&gt;The word Gaia itself is adapted from the Greek Earth goddess Ge or Gaia. Ge could be extremely cruel and showed very little compassion to anyone who crossed her yet she could be fully compassionate and nurturing to a friend. Her name Ge or Earth is also the foundation or derivative for words such as geography, geology, and genocide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Lovelocks' hypothesis the biosphere, oceans, and soil all come into play. This is also in sync with the Hopi myths of creation which involve the elements of fire, wind, water, and earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are others who have comtemplated the Gaia concept before Lovelock. The father of geology, James Hutton, described the Earth in terms of a superorganism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a very ancient world, in a time before the philosopher Plato, science and theology were one and the same and they reflected a soulful relationship between the organism and the creator. The poet Homer who preceded Plato by several centuries wrote of a time when the Earth had a spirit. Plato and the Greek alphabet opened up the way for school to replicate themselves at will due to the ease by which knowledge could be transferred. Science somehow lost it's holistic meaning in this transfer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question that seems to be echoing through the lightspeed tech world of today is whether the intellects and not so intellects of this organism have insulted Gaia so much to incur her torturous wrath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are definitely more aware of our environment and there are volumes being written on holistic methods of recovery. But are they simply words for if they are then we should all go listen and memorize every word of the poet Walt Whitman, "The Earth never lies"...welcome to 2012 Apocalypse....be prepared.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2025582489207328655-5063428365824407181?l=2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/feeds/5063428365824407181/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2025582489207328655&amp;postID=5063428365824407181' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/5063428365824407181'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2025582489207328655/posts/default/5063428365824407181'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://2012-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/07/2012-gaia-theory.html' title='2012 Gaia Theory'/><author><name>Our Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SL1ZvLMSAoI/AAAAAAAAAy8/U6ozJUw26JM/S220/IMG_1982.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/SI9Z6MEjl3I/AAAAAAAAAA0/U-ldt713Q48/s72-c/gaia.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
