2012 The Odyssey

the end of this age is at hand everything around us everything that we know is about to change and

this change is going to be radical like nothing that we've ever experienced before but as in all

times of great change this shift offers us an opportunity to look deep within ourselves

and think about who we are the way we relate to the earth and to the people around us we no longer

live in the modern world we live in the post-modern world the structures of the modern

world which are founded on greed on ever-increasing economies on ever-increasing growth on readily

renewable resources that world has ended it does not exist anymore we're living in a world

of sustainability of deep ecology of great reverence for the earth if you haven't caught

on yet that this is the world we're living in

you will probably be mulched it wasn't very long ago when i first began wondering why so many

things around me seem to be falling into chaos this chaos haunted my dreams as i wondered what

was going on in this world around me everywhere i lived i saw wars pain and injustice because of

the constant stream of bad news the newspapers and television were now becoming an unbearable

burden in my life so i stopped watching

the news i turned off the world and retreated back into the beauty of nature

and the peace of the forest as the human race veered towards some uncertain future

i became more obsessed with the natural world out here everything is in balance

it was on one of these long retreats into the mountains around my home

that i first began to wonder why everyone around me was talking about the year 2012

it was almost like they were all expecting something to happen between now and then

like a sudden change in the way that we treat the world and each other

i had heard that the mayan calendar was coming to some kind of grand finale

on the winter solstice of that year 2012. that fact made me wonder if there might not

be something more to this talk about 2012 than i first suspected so i decided to take a long drive

to see if it was my first time in the world before the year 2012

when my mother got ill and my parents were left on the street she met with a lot of friends

i met with a lot of friends and family and others about what they thought might happen to

our world in 2012. i left the mountains and forests of the beautiful pacific northwest

and headed south to oregon and california eventually my trip took me across the entire

united states reality is accelerating toward an unimaginable omega point

more complex more unique more novel every passing moment since it burst into existence and if that's

true then we represent a kind of concrescence of universal intent we're not mere spectators

or a cosmic accident or some side show or the greek chorus to the main event

the human experience is the main event because we're driving the historical vehicle with a

rear-view mirror it appears to us that we're headed straight into a brick wall at a thousand

miles an hour it appears that we are polluting the atmosphere wrecking the oceans dehumanizing

ourselves robbing our children of a future i believe what is in fact going on is that we

are burning our bridges one by one we're burning our bridges to the past what is really important

is empowering personal experience backing off from consumer object fetishism freeing the mind

empowering the imagination then in that case i think you can feel pretty good about what is going

on well the 2012 end date of the maya long count calendar is a subject that's been looked at for

many years and for me back in the late 80s early 90s i realized there was a great unsolved mystery

why did the maya place the end of their calendar in 2012. one thing that was very clear is that

it is an accurate winter solstice so to me that meant that well probably there's a focus here on a

astronomy and we know that the ancient maya were astute stargazers and brilliant mathematicians

and were advanced in ways that we're just beginning to appreciate the mayan calendar is a

is a system of time keeping and cycles and it has been proven time and time again to be perhaps one

of the most accurate systems ever noted by humankind it is tracked without fail every

solar eclipse every lunar eclipse

and even takes into account changes in the rotation and the speed of the rotation of the

earth to accommodate these so without question we know that it is an accurate system of time

keeping the one thing it does not take into account however is the human response during the

cycles of time that it is tracking this this 13 baktun cycle of time is a great world age period

and in the maya creation mythology we we see reference to five of these great world ages

and this 13 baktun period is clearly the one that we're about to end right now it's it's very clear

that the end of this great cycle would be the moment of of greatest importance what we do know

is that the maya were amazing mathematicians they were careful patient observers and recorders of

natural cycles and they'd made these advanced calculations and they'd made these advanced

tools these calendars for marking events in linear time and for use in prophecy now that makes me

take notice that gets my attention it makes me want to know what did they know had they seen the

future had they created these timetables for the playing out of some master cosmic plan and if so

how had they gleaned their knowledge was it solely the result of keen observation or were they tuning

into something more what we know is that there are cycles geologic cycles measurable cycles that are

in the geologic record that have happened time and time and time again and the mayan calendar

appears to accommodate and allow for these cycles as well such as magnetic reversals of the earth

and the a growing body of research and scientific consensus suggests that we are in fact in one of

those cycles right now uh the cycle of a of a 180 degree magnetic reversal or or a flip uh in the the

the cycle of a 180 degree magnetic reversal or or a flip uh in the the the cycle of a 180 degree

magnetic reversal or or a flip uh in the the cycle of a 180 degree magnetic reversal or or a flip

so the calendar marking 2012 it's showing us a window of time with regard to the cycles

themselves how we respond to the changes that we feel in our bodies and the changes that were

shown in the world around us remains up to us as individuals and collectively well in my research

into the 2012 end date it became very clear

clear to me that the Maya had intended that date to target an astronomical alignment,

a very rare alignment of our sun on the solstice with the center of the galaxy. This is a kind

of alignment that happens only once every 26,000 years.

The Maya had several different calendars. The most important ones are the Zolkin, which

is a 260-day sacred almanac. And then there's the 365-day Harb, which had no leap days included

in it. And there is the Long Count calendar, which is based on a 360-day year called Atun.

So it's the Long Count, which is the one that connects to 2012. But something that Jose

Arguelles discovered and brought out in the Maya Factor, what I consider to be his most

important insight,

is that

the Maya today say that the meaning of the Zolkin is that it governs the length of human

gestation. So because that's 260 days, or what they call kin, the Long Count can be

mapped out on the same structure because it consists of 260 katuns, periods of about

just under 20 years. So that you could say that because recorded history coincides with

the start of this Long Count 13 Bactrian cycle, 3114 B.C.,

that the Long Count is mapping out not individual gestation but planetary gestation.

At first I found the Mayan calendar to be a bit overwhelming. As I listened to the experts

on the subject, I began to understand that these people, the Mayans, who lived on the

Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico for thousands of years, were a remarkable race. The Mayans

left behind huge pyramids and other stone monuments that rival those in Egypt and the

Middle East and other places. But the most interesting thing about the

Mayan people is that they were obsessed with time. They created calendars to mark off long

periods of time, some running for thousands of years. I wondered who they were and what

they were really like.

The time system of the Mayan calendar is based on a uniquely different concept

of time. That – you have to understand that first of all, and that for the Mayans, time

is a factor of synchronization.

Time is the universal factor of synchronization,

which is very different from how we think of time.

This is why, for the Mayans, they used, in their heyday,

used up to maybe 19 or 20 different calendars

simultaneously because the point of different standards

of measure, measuring different heavenly bodies, cycles,

et cetera, is to create higher and higher factors

of synchronization.

In other words, they knew that the real nature of time

is synchronicity, and the real nature of the highest reality

is synchronicity.

And so the nature of the Mayan calendar

is to actually place you in synchronicity.

The difference between the Mayan culture

and from the dominant civilization today,

which is the global civilization,

is that we are fragmented.

We are very happy and surprised if a synchronicity happens

to us every so often, whereas for the Mayans living

on the Mayan calendar, synchronicity

is the norm.

The Popol Vuh, as it comes down to us today,

was recorded in the 1550s.

And it tells the story of the two hero twins

and how they must do away with Seven Macaw.

Seven Macaw is the ruler of the previous world age.

And he is the archetype of rampant, out-of-control egoism.

He's the vain and false ruler of the previous world age.

So the message that is really encoded into the Maya creation

mythology has to do with the relationship

between our limited egos and our unlimited, infinite,

eternal, divine selves, which in the Maya creation mythology

is represented by Wan Hunapu, the father of the hero twins.

So this entire mythic structure is actually

encoding astronomical.

And in fact, the resurrection of Wan Hunapu at the end of the age,

in 2012, is a metaphor for us in our limited ego states

coming back into connection with our divine, eternal selves.

And the mythology is a template for the astronomy.

It's very interesting because Wan Hunapu represents the sun.

So the astronomical alignment that culminates in 2012

is the alignment of the sun with the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

It's coming into right relationship once again

with the higher source and center.

Well, it's kind of incredible that one of the depictions

of the Maya solar deity, Wan Hunapu, one of the depictions

of him in the mouth of the jaguar toad, which astronomically,

means the winter solstice sun crossing the galactic equator,

which is the 2012 event, the galactic alignment itself,

that shows Wan Hunapu in a crucified position.

And there's a sort of a little cross symbol as well

to symbolize the crossing of the ecliptic

with the galactic plane.

And, well, of course, Jesus' holy day was Sunday.

So he's like our solar deity who is expected to return to very

soon with the same symbol as the Maya.

Our view of the Native American

as the noble savage is truly unfortunate.

The Mayans and the Incans and many other peoples

in the Americas were very advanced

in the arts and sciences.

Like everyone, they weren't perfect.

But what is certain is that the Mayans were a talented

and conscious people.

Their long count calendar was probably their most important

contribution to the world.

I thought about this calendar

and its rapidly approaching end date.

Could this prophecy really be true?

And if so, what will be its outcome?

A growing body of research now, in addition to showing

that the cycles are occurring, strongly suggests

that how we experience those cycles will be determined

by how we respond to the changes.

And from my perspective, this is what the great masters

and the spiritual teachers

for over 5,000 years have been preparing us for.

And what they're saying to us is if you live your life,

in this way, and if you change your life,

you'll change your body.

And as you change your body, you'll change your world.

Quantum physics now strongly supports precisely such a

premise that the world around us, in terms of the things

that we see and experience, is nothing more, nothing less

than a mirror of what we have become collectively from within.

So our fear, our anger, our hate, our rage, our joy,

our love, our compassion, our understanding, our forgiveness,

all appear to be mirrored and accommodated

within these great cycles of time.

The galactic alignment is a phrase that refers

to an actual astronomical process and alignment

that's culminating in the years around 2012.

Astronomers know about this.

It's been calculated.

It is based upon the slow wobbling

of the Earth on its axis.

This is called the precession of the equinoxes.

And one full wobble takes 26,000 years to complete.

Now, it effectively changes our angular orientation

to the larger sky, the larger galactic framework.

And one of the effects of precession is

that it causes the position of the sun

in the sky to shift slowly.

There are many different kinds of beams

that are moving throughout the universe,

some of them caused by supernovas, some by quasars.

Some actually are coming from the center of the galaxy

of the Maya called the Hunapku.

And what we're talking about, the galactic synchronization

beam, is a beam that's coming from the center of the galaxy.

It's being what we might call intelligently moderated.

And so this beam is what corresponds

to what we refer to as the Mayan Great Cycle from 3113 BC.

That's when the Earth entered this beam.

And then it leaves it in 2012, this famous 2012 moment.

So what they noticed, and this is what's

unique about Mayan cosmology, they

noticed that the December solstice sun was slowly

shifting towards the bright band of the Milky Way

that we can see if we go out camping in August.

We can see the bright band of the Milky Way

stretching overhead.

And there's a very bright and wide part of the Milky Way.

It's called the nuclear bulge.

It lies between the constellations

of Earth.

Sagittarius and Scorpio.

And it's visible to the naked eye.

And the Maya thought of this as a very interesting part

of the Milky Way.

And the purpose of this beam is actually

to accelerate processes, what we might call karmic processes,

that need to come to fruition.

And so the maximum point of this beam

occurs during the 13th phase, the 13th Bakhtun,

which began about 400, a little less than 400 years ago.

And it's during this phase.

Which we refer to as the climax of matter,

where the processes of the karmic activations

and the creation of a particularly intense state

of mind, the historical materialism, congeal.

And the human species bursts out around the planet,

which it's meant to do, kind of like being in a cocoon process.

And then human beings are being synchronized and shaken up

and shaken up and synchronized by their own process.

Until they reach this maximum point

where it goes into a new phase.

And this new phase then is what begins in 2012.

On one level, they thought of the Milky Way

as the great goddess, the great mother.

And this bulging area was then thought

of as the womb of the great mother.

Now, as I mentioned earlier, they

noticed that the December solstice sun was slowly shifting

into this rebirth place in the sky.

And the early Maya sky watchers, some 2,200 years ago,

they calculated precession.

And they projected forward to when this alignment

would be culminating.

The alignment of father-son and mother galaxy,

that is the galactic alignment.

And according to the Mayan calculation,

it happens on December 21, 2012.

And modern astronomers would concur

that we are in the zone of galactic alignment right now.

And the Mayan calculation is right on target.

Whether or not time ends in 2012,

we should be assuming that it will so

that we take care of business.

Secondly, and maybe more important,

is don't cancel your appointments for 2013.

Because whether or not you're going to be able to do that,

or not time ends as we know it, the planets

will still be going around, and around, and around.

My mind was racing.

Visions of galactic beams and planetary gestation

were overwhelming me.

Was it true?

Had the Mayans created some kind of way

to be able to tell us, the people of the future,

where we were headed, and what lay in store for us?

Was time something tangible that could be mapped in some way?

Everywhere I go, I talk to people

who sense that something is going on,

but we aren't quite sure what it is.

The future world is still blurry

and out of focus for most of us.

But we all feel it.

Something unusual is happening in our world.

Something odd is happening to us.

And like a shadow on the wall,

we are not sure if it's real or an illusion.

We just know that it's there.

Like in a dream, where everything is shifting

from one reality to another.

That's what the world feels like now.

And as one reality fades away, another crystallizes.

Jewel is one of my best friends.

She had just had a baby named Armand.

Armand will be seven years old in 2012.

I asked her about her hopes and dreams for her beautiful boy.

Oh, I'm so happy to share him with you.

It's been such a pleasure.

It's been such a delightful new part of my life.

I really do love getting to be a mother

and getting to work with children also.

I've been doing a lot of working with children.

And I feel, as I look towards 2012,

that really that's the choice that we can make as adults,

is finding our way towards that which is hopeful,

towards believing in a bright tomorrow.

Rather than running old programs based on us being bad

and we're ultimately destined

for self-destruction that we're going to bring on ourselves,

and feeling like we are destined for self-destruction

because we're inherently bad.

I feel beautiful, evolved, special souls are coming

to this earth to teach us otherwise,

to remind us otherwise, that we really have a choice.

Indigo children are system busters by nature

and challenge authority.

Rather than accept authority blindly,

they make us ask the questions.

Why are we doing this?

And when they're misdiagnosed as ADHD,

it's doing ourselves a disservice

because these children have a message to bring.

Like remembering the importance of our feelings

and of our hearts.

I just can't believe that we have a punishing God,

the Father, that's ready to sabotage and hurt his children.

What we are doing is up to us.

And if we express joy and gratitude for the life that we're,

we're given, then the way is shown.

We need to really be the examples for them, you know?

Our mom, in 2012, where will you be?

Where will you be?

You'll be seven years old.

You know, I've heard it said that in the future there won't be,

we won't be able to lie to one another

because everybody will be telepathic.

And I have to believe that kids are already teachers of that

with us.

Because they can read you so well.

As I continued my search for the answers,

I discovered that the Mayans weren't the only ones who

understood that this world has many layers of reality.

They weren't the only ancestors who

understood that the past, the future, and the present

might all be just one event that is happening simultaneously.

Could one's experience of time be, in the end,

just a matter of perspective?

Across the planet.

There are people with myths, legends, and monuments

that may be giving us the same message as the Mayans.

I think what we're seeing is that this calendar is simply

showing us a window of opportunity.

It's saying now is a time when all of the parameters that

have held human consciousness in place for 25,000 years,

all of those parameters are falling away.

They've been like training wheels, if you will, holding

elements of consciousness in place.

So the training wheels fall away and on that date in December of 2012 we, perhaps for the

first time in a long time, will be more of ourselves than we've ever been before without

the magnetics of the earth holding our perceptions and our beliefs and our bias in place.

And it'll be the opportunity for us to demonstrate what we've practiced for so long and to become

truly who we are.

It's not just the Mayan calendar.

There's other.

There are other monuments and other religions and other myths across the world that are

also pointing towards this time period as being one of the most important time periods

in the history of the world.

And I guess that's what I've been looking into.

I just find it astonishing that the Mayan calendar and these other myths and symbols

and monuments parallel each other in what they're saying so much.

And that's really the fascination that I have in this work.

So the systems that govern the microcosm.

And the macrocosm are the same systems.

So if we understand the cosmos, we understand ultimately more about ourselves and the reverse

is true.

So one thing that has impressed me with this new outpouring of knowledge, which of course

the net has made possible, it's like I always thought that the global brain would be each

person being telepathic.

But although the spiritual usually precedes the physical, we're seeing that the net has

facilitated global linkage in a way that nothing else could.

You can split the whole thing into two camps really, the catastrophe camp and the ecstasy

camp.

A little bit like the Christian concept of heaven or hell associated with the end time.

A lot of catastrophe theories are not very well researched and they've got second hand

information they haven't checked up on.

Of course one of the exceptions to that is the Henday Cross information.

I first became interested in this work because of a book called Mystery of the Catastrophe.

It's a book about the history of the universe.

It's written by an anonymous man who called himself Fulcinelli.

The book was written in 1926 and published in Paris.

What made Fulcinelli's book Mystery of the Cathedral so shocking when it came out was

that Fulcinelli was saying that the Gothic cathedrals were built by alchemists, that

they were a finest example of some kind of metaphysical science.

Now the Gothic cathedrals are some of the most amazing buildings on earth.

There were almost 500 of them built in the time period from about 1150 to about 1350.

It looks like the Templars may have been the people who built the Gothic cathedrals based

on their knowledge that they had gathered from their foray into Jerusalem where they

learned alchemy from the Kabbalists and from the Islamic scholars that lived there at the

time.

What really attracted me though to Mystery of the Cathedrals by Fulcinelli was the fact

that when the book was reprinted in the late 50s, a strange additional chapter had been

added to the book and that got my attention.

This chapter was called the Cyclic Cross of Henday and was about a strange monument that

sits in a churchyard in Henday, France, a small town on the Spanish border in France.

And Fulcinelli tells us that this Cross of Henday was built by a master mason, a 33rd

degree mason.

. . . . . . .

. . . that a master mason had profound knowledge of the universe and he placed

it into the symbols and the construct of the Cross of Henday.

That really got my attention, especially because Fulcinelli was saying that the Cross

of Henday was pointing towards the end of time, towards Judgemente Day.

Actually, I'll say without exception, I have run across no tradition that does

not account for some end time prophesy.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Y ресров

including Western pre-Christian and Christian traditions.

So I will say I've not studied every tradition on the face of the earth.

Every tradition that I have studied allows for the uniqueness of this time in history

and says that we're in for a big change.

Rather than being something unexpected that comes down on us in a horrific or scary way,

we're now learning that it's not what we thought it was.

Armageddon is not what it used to be.

It's now becoming very simplified as primarily astronomical and secondarily psychological

and to do with our own archetypal human beingness.

When I first began the research into the Cross of Hende, I didn't realize about the Mayan

calendar what it was saying.

I knew that the Cross of Hende was pointing towards the end of time because Fulcinelli

was saying that in his chapter.

And as I examined the Cross of Hende, I realized

that the sun panel on the pedestal did look a lot like an Aztec or a Mayan sun symbol.

Later I found out that, according to Fulcinelli, the Cross of Hende was built somewhere between

350 and 400 years ago, which coincides exactly with the beginning of the last Bak'tun of

the Mayan calendar.

So we can see there's a strange relationship between the Cross of Hende and the Mayan calendar.

And this may be...

It may be that the person who built the...

The Cross of Hende had gone to the New World and studied with the Mayan shamans and the

Incan shamans and came back with their knowledge, compared it to what he already knew, and built

the Cross of Hende.

Earth is going through a magnetic reversal.

It's happened 14 times in the last four and a half million years.

It's never happened with six billion people on the Earth, to the best of our knowledge.

Prior to the time that the magnetic fields dropped completely to zero, they began to

slow.

And we are now at the slowest or the lowest magnetic point that we've seen in the last

2,000 years.

What that means is the magnetic field, the shield or the buffer of the magnetic field

that has always surrounded the Earth is its weakest point that it's been in the last

2,000 years.

It makes us very susceptible to solar influences.

We're having unprecedented solar flares, highly ionized plasma and particles superheating

our atmosphere.

And...

The magnetic fields aren't there.

It allows for a melting of the poles, for example.

And we know that that is what is happening, and as the North and South poles, as that

ice turns into water, it dilutes the oceans, changes the salinity, changes the temperatures

that drive all of the weather patterns.

The Cross of Hende has a pedestal on the bottom with four engravings on each

side of the pedestal.

It has a Greek pillar on top of the pedestal.

top of the pedestal and there's a cross on top of the greek pillar the four panels on the pedestal

have a star on the east side a fairy tale moon on the north side a sun face an angry sun face

on the west side and this strange odd oval with four odd a's in each of the quadrants

notice that the a looks a lot like the freemasonic symbol of the compass in the square maybe this is

why falconelli tells us that the cross of henday was built by a master mason we know that the sun

has already lost essentially its north and south poles they don't exist on the sun any longer

the sun has many smaller north and south magnetic fields little vortices there is no north and south

pole on on the sun any longer other planets in our solar system appear to be going through a

a similar experience where the magnetic fields are declining very quickly

because we believe they're not inhabited the way our

solar system is our uh ours are it doesn't appear to have the same influence so as those magnetic

fields fall it allows uh for greater solar influences on the planet those are the physical

changes that we're seeing the magnetic fields also act as the glue in consciousness and as the

glue becomes weaker and weaker we have a greater opportunity to transcend the beliefs that have

have been held in place so strongly for

for many thousands, now 5,000 years or so.

One thing that I noticed right away

when I looked at the Cross of Hinde

was that the three panels,

the star, the moon, and the sun,

exactly match three cards in the tarot deck,

three cards that are in a row in the tarot deck.

For instance, card number 17 in the tarot deck is the star.

It looks exactly like the star on the Cross of Hinde.

Number 18 in the tarot deck is the moon.

And again, we can see it's a fairy tale-type moon.

It follows in succession, 17, 18.

Then we come to 19 of the tarot deck,

and we find that the card is the sun.

And again, we see that the motif of the sun face

on the Cross of Hinde

pretty much matches the sun card in the tarot deck.

What is interesting about this

is that the next card in succession

is the day of judgment.

Number 20.

And that is what the Cross of Hinde is describing

is the day of judgment, the end of time.

So the two, the physical parameters

and consciousness dovetail.

And the physical parameters appear to give us

a window of opportunity

for the consciousness parameters to shift.

And if we can become aware of that,

then we can make use of this opportunity

and say, hey, this is the first time in a long time

we've been able to do something like this.

What will we do?

Fulcinelli spends most of his chapter in the book

talking about the odd oval with the four strange A's.

As I looked at this odd oval,

I began slowly realizing that it was really talking

about the precession of the equinoxes.

The precession of the equinoxes is the length of time

that it takes the Earth to go through one of its wobbles.

The Earth takes the time

the Earth takes 26,000 years

to go around once in its wobble.

And what Fulcinelli was telling us

was that the ancient alchemists

or the person who had built the Cross of Hinde

divided up this 26,000 year cycle

or this great year, according to the astrologers,

into four different ages.

And these four ages had names.

They were called the Golden Age,

the Silver Age, the Bronze Age,

and the age we're currently residing in,

the Iron Age,

or as the Hindus would call it,

the Kali Yuga.

There's definitely,

we're in phase with this last cycle

that we're talking about,

this galactic synchronization being,

which is coming to a conclusion,

is definitely in phase or in sync

with the Kali Yuga cycle,

or with a Kali Yuga cycle,

as the Hindus understand it.

And of course,

the Kali Yuga is the fourth and the final of the yugas,

and that would also correspond to the point

at which the karma has become the headstone,

where the amnesia has become the greatest,

where the remembrance has become the least,

and where the materialism has become the densest.

What we call recorded history

is really the history of the Iron Age,

when it began,

and this is also the last cycle of the Mayan calendar,

also describing the process of history,

how we have fallen into history.

History is in a sense the initiation of our species.

We have fallen into

the greatest degree of materialization,

the greatest densification of time.

Our science and our scholars

no longer care about the spiritual.

They only care about the temporal.

They only care about the material.

And this is surely a sign that we're in the Iron Age.

Because of the way the magnetic fields

are holding this consciousness together,

things that are not in integrity

seem to implode upon themselves,

and they collapse under their own weight.

So we can apply those understandings

in our personal lives and our global lives,

and while it doesn't give an excuse for what's happened,

it might help to explain

and maybe provide a framework

for people to understand what it is that's going on.

What the pedestal represents

is the Earth's point of view.

Standing on the Earth,

stars look like the star looks like,

the moon looks like the moon looks like,

and the sun looks like the sun looks like.

And you can watch the progress of time

or the great year

by observing the procession of the equinoxes.

Represented by the oval with the four A's

is our giant 26,000 year long clock

that we're watching

to be able to tell where we are in time.

Each of the four ages

marks a different quality of time.

The alchemists believed

that you could turn lead into gold,

one of the most important things

that they were addressing with this myth

was the idea that you could turn the iron age

into the golden age.

One of the things that alchemy is doing

is getting the human race ready

to perform the great alchemical experiment

at the end of time

that transmutes the iron age into the golden age,

that takes our current age

of increased densification and materialization

and releases it into the golden age.

Lead into gold.

Now that would be magical.

If I could believe what I was hearing,

there were people in the past

who knew that something fantastic

was going to occur sometime in the future.

They created many ways

to pass down the knowledge of what they knew.

The question is,

are we still listening?

What if the world is really

just a gigantic alchemical experiment

and God is the alchemist?

Maybe all he has to do

is shake up the bottle of our reality

and everything will shift in a flash.

I left California

and began to head across the United States.

Six hours east of Los Angeles,

I entered Las Vegas,

just as the night was beginning.

In a way, this growing metropolis

with its neon lights and fast money

was like a city at the edge of time.

I reflected on the way that we humans

seem to be able to create

our own reality.

And I wondered why we had done

such a bad job.

Maybe it's time for us to take reality

and turn it into something better.

Maybe that's what 2012 is really about.

What if just the idea

that some big change is coming

in our immediate future

would actually cause

that big change to occur?

The reason that there would be a big change

is because we believe

that there would be a big change.

Is the power of our beliefs

so strong that they alone can shift reality?

Maybe that is the secret of alchemy.

Maybe lead could be turned into gold

simply because the alchemists believed

that they could turn lead into gold.

Are our thoughts that powerful?

Is reality that simple?

Can we change the world

just by wanting it to change?

It was so simple that I had to laugh.

For the last 25 years,

I have been studying

with the elders of the Inca.

And the Inca are one of the last

indigenous peoples in the Americas

to maintain an intact tradition

of prophecy as well as the processes

that will allow us to quantum leap

into who we are becoming.

The Inca, the Hopi, the Mayan

are all descendants of the same peoples

that crossed the Bering Straits

30,000 years ago.

And that originally before that

came from the high mountains of the Himalayas.

They brought a wisdom teaching with them

that is ancient,

that is 100,000 years old.

And not only did they prophecy

the time to come,

but they cautioned us

and told us how to prepare for that time to come,

how we needed to temper our bodies,

to prepare ourselves emotionally,

how we needed to temper our souls,

and how we needed to discover a new mythology,

a new sacred map

that would lead us to our destiny,

to our destiny as a planet,

to our destiny as a people.

There is a book that came out recently,

I think it's in Greek actually,

about 2012 being the year of Jesus' return,

because I haven't read it

because it's not out in English

and I don't speak Greek.

But a friend of mine was doing a talk recently,

he's actually a crop circle researcher,

and he briefly mentioned 2012

because of the connection to crop circles.

And a woman came up to him afterwards,

I think he said she was a nun,

and told him that 2012 is of course

the year that Jesus is going to return.

We've known this for ages.

In Christian terms,

the time that we're moving toward

by Christian scholars

has been interpreted as a time

when humankind has the opportunity

to make a choice.

And depending on how that choice is made,

either life-affirming or life-denying choices,

some people will experience what has been termed

in Christian theology the rapture,

or in esoteric traditions the ascension.

Very closely related terms.

The bottom line to what they're suggesting

is that as the earth goes through an energetic change,

our bodies will either follow suit

and match that change or resist that change.

If we resist the change,

it makes life very difficult for us

to survive here in this world.

If we accept and receive and embrace that change,

then we are matched energetically

to what's happening with the earth.

And the way we live our lives

up until that moment of time

is what prepares us to make those choices.

And so this is also the basis

of why Fulcinelli is telling us

about the cross of Hende

and why the alchemists built the cross of Hende,

was to send a message down through time

to us about what we're about to go through.

The Christians call it the day of judgment.

The Kabbalists call it the tycoon.

The Incans say that it's the emergence of Homo luminus.

And the Mayans mark it with the end of their calendar.

And so all across the world,

we find all of these traditions

marking this time period

in their own way,

with their own culture,

with their own symbols,

with their own language.

And as we decipher those symbols,

as we decipher those monuments,

and we learn to speak in the language of our ancients,

we can understand what it is

that they were trying to say.

And the most important thing

that they were trying to say

was that time was coming to an end.

The world body of prophecy

from the Great Pyramid itself

to the Bible,

to the Babylonians,

to the Aztecs and the Maya,

and the Hopi,

there's really only one prophecy.

Each of those cultures spoke about

the events and the components

of future shock, perhaps,

in their own way,

in their own kind of style.

But when you translate it all down

and boil it to its essence,

they're all saying the same thing.

There's only one prophecy.

The prophecies of the Inca

are one of several prophecies in the Americas.

And they're very clear about

our living in a time of great transition,

of great upheaval.

They speak about the next six years

between now and 2012

as a time of the renewing of the earth

and also as a time of the harvesting of souls,

of those individuals that don't quantum leap

into who we are becoming as a species

that will have a very challenging

and difficult time.

The next morning,

I headed up to Zion National Park in Utah.

For thousands of years,

this place was one of the most sacred

and cherished lands

to the local Native Americans.

Its beauty is beyond description.

I decided to pull over and meditate

on what I had learned so far about 2012.

I thought about the myths

of the Garden of Eden.

These legends tell us that once

men and women lived in a beautiful garden

where everything was perfect.

There was no pain, no death.

The world was in balance and harmony.

That sounded like a golden age to me.

If that's the future,

it doesn't sound so bad.

Perhaps the Garden of Eden

is also an alchemical garden

where the lead is separated from gold,

where the future is separated from the past.

And one single event

can change everything in a moment.

One single event

can begin the final process.

September the 11th, 2001,

was an event that was the preface.

It was like the trumpet call

to inaugurate the final sequence,

the final phase of this world age.

This is the beginning of a period of time

building up to the consummation of the age

and the restitution of all things.

2012, according to the Bible,

was the time of salvation,

not the time of death.

That's when we go back to

the Mayan calendrics

of their long count, the Sol Kin.

This is a date that is closing upon us

as you watch this.

And it could be wonderful

and it could be terrible,

and it's likely to be everything

all at the same time,

because at the ending of cycles,

the good and the bad,

and everything comes together

in such a way as a period

worst in us? And how do we predict what's going to happen between now and then?

We don't live in a democracy any longer. We live in a mediocracy. And our media is creating

and perpetuating a cultural trance that we've all subscribed to. The task today for the

person who wants to live awake, to be fully awake, is to break free of that cultural trance

that is perpetuated by consumerism, by mechanization, by technology. We have forgotten how to write

poems with pens. We have forgotten how to live an epic life. We think that getting a

faster computer is going to produce a better piece of work. So technology is trying to

provide those solutions that spirit provided very directly to those who came before us.

If you start out with the premise of the Mayan calendar and that it's coming to an end on

December 21st, 2012, and then you go across the Atlantic and you find another monument

in a completely different system, in a completely different culture, that is predicting the

same exact event at the same exact time, using the galactic alignment as its centerpiece,

then we have to say that we have circumstances that we don't want to live in. We have to

have substantial evidence pointing towards a reality which I don't think we can deny

anymore. And this is truly our destiny as human beings.

You know, the currency of the planet, the global currency, is four things. It's earth,

air, fire, and water. And we have used all of the available earth. We have used all of

the available topsoil. We've washed it out into the sea.

We have used all of the available air. We have polluted the air and made holes in the

ozone. We have contaminated all of the available water. And we have turned up the heat in the

planet. So we have been living off the planetary credit card. And we're deep in debt. This

is a buy-now-pay-later philosophy that has led us to today.

As we get nearer to 2012, I think we're going to find that the world is going to be more

important.

We are all going to have to come to grips with our own mortality, not just on an individual

level, but on a planetary scale, that the human species may be very close to extinction

at this point.

And we live in a planet that can sustainably support one billion people riding bicycles

to work. And we have 7.5 billion people who have managed to support themselves by harvesting

all of the readily available topsoil, by cutting down all of the readily available

old-growth forests. We're coming to the very outer limits of sustainability in the planet.

The knowledge that we may be going extinct because of our own actions will cause us to

mature, will initiate us into a more adult view of the world, that we're not immortal,

that we are mortal. And that we can live in the world that we want. And that we can live

and that we have to leave a world for our children.

And so we can't cut down all the forests,

we can't strip mine all of the land,

we can't fish the oceans out until there are no more fish.

We have to leave something behind for our children,

and that's maturity, that's enlightenment,

and that's what I mean by extinction or enlightenment.

The danger here is not a crisis from global warming alone,

it's not a melting of the polar ice caps alone,

it's three or four of these cascading off of each other.

It's a phenomenon of cascading crises

that one triggers, another triggers another.

A melting of the ice caps triggers a slowdown

of the Gulf Stream, triggers a rise in the sea levels,

triggers an increase in accelerated warming of the Earth.

And today in Europe, the biggest advocates

for legislation to prevent global warming

are the European Union.

The biggest advocates for legislation to prevent global warming are insurance companies,

because they recognize the tremendous liability exposure that they have,

the tremendous cost of any one of these cataclysms happening, let alone two.

All over the planet, throughout all of the different peoples and cultures,

we find that in the end we are all the same.

We all breathe the same air and share the same Earth.

Maybe we also share a collective memory of our future that is just emerging now.

Could it be that as 2012 races at us,

we finally have the chance to reshape our future?

Those people that expect an apocalyptic moment to occur on December 21st, 2012,

are going to be very disappointed.

It's going to be an absolute non-event.

Nothing is going to happen.

Because it is happening now, it is happening today,

as you watch this, it is happening inside of you,

inside each and every one of us.

That whole chemical process of breaking down and shedding that which has died within us,

and of birthing that which is bringing us into our collective destiny.

It's happening this very instant.

Universally, the people of every continent,

either through translators or directly, are asking me two questions.

They're saying, first of all, they're saying, what in the world is going on in the planet?

Something obviously has changed, number one.

Number two, they're saying, what can we do about it?

What is the...

we can do and we're all essentially looking for the same thing with the exception of a handful of

leaders the people this world i think are truly ready for something more than the suffering of

the last century and the war and the bloodshed everyone's looking for a better future for their

families the hope of a better tomorrow a way to care for themselves and just the basic necessities

of life i think they're truly ready for that so uh so i think what we're seeing is this bleed

through this overlap of time where the physical parameters are changing we're changing the

response to those parameters although we may not all be aware of it and we happen to be living the

days when there's the juxtaposition of an old way and a new way are coinciding and we're seeing them

come together and work themselves out the way we are it's a uh in some respects it's a very

beautiful unfolding and in other respects it can be a very painful uh process that we're seeing

the dream state and the waking state are very similar okay what we call the waking state is just

a when we walk when we go through the world and as it is with the airports and atm machines and

and stores and money and everything like that that's all collectively agreed upon dream

okay we've all we've all agreed

to to do with this fire well people who are crazy are the ones who who who see through that

and see through it so much they can't cope with it okay and then so then they're called

crazy i think of the initiation of 2012 is really an initiation for the western world

really people that are still steeped in western philosophy and western thinking and western

science and

an initiation into understanding that everything comes from the same place we are all made up of

the same energy and that in our own individual experiences as well that we can approach

life with an intellectual and spiritual certainty based upon direct experience

we go back in the ancient texts it appears that for at least five thousand years the wisdom

of the ancient gods have been passed down from time to time and if you look at the

ancient texts we can see that almost universally those who have come before us have prepared us

or left instructions to help us during this period in time almost universally those who've

come before us knew of this convergence of cycles in the language of their day what they said was if

you can do this in your life that you will change your body and and by changing your body you will be

happens to the earth happens to our bodies the magnetics that affect the

elements of the earth affect the elements of our bodies in the same way

when we're under severe crisis what are we we're falling apart we're going to

pieces this is the shamanic dismemberment it can be a personal

initiatory experience that a shaman goes through it can be a personal event in

one's life that takes one to the nubs or it can be a universal distress where the

world is in turmoil and there's no place to stand that's the nature of a

universal distress there are no resources there's no place to stand and

in that charged moment is when the transcendent takes over there's always

something other that brings things into resolution and harmony I think as we

approach the end of the Mayan calendar as we approach the end of time according

to the cross of hen day we're going to have a conscious shift

you

because history is an initiation it's like saying ultimate chaos resolves

into synchronicity we're learning this from the Mandelbrot set and quantum

physics now we have all the learning and all the tools that enable us to make

points of contact at least for modeling how to shoot the rapids we're now in the

white water of history and each one of us will have this experience it's a

sublime initiation

how many of us have wanted a lifetime when we could experience the best and the

worst of what the age has to offer this is it but we have transcended many of the

darkest prophecies already and I think it's important for people to understand

that whether we're talking about the Bible code in the way that it predicts

quantum possibilities only or remote viewing and those quantum possibilities

many of the darkest predictions we have transcended it's not that we survive

them we rewrote the code of consciousness

and took a different pass so that they never had to unfold and from that

perspective and for those reasons I believe that 2012 is working in the same

way there are certainly dark possibilities that could unfold is that

possible yes do they have to happen I believe that they don't and I believe

that we're making that determination right now by having conversations like

this and by living our lives consciously with intent being kind to one another

another at the grocery store checkout stand or the person that that takes your

order at the nearest restaurant you go to tonight or the or the the driver on

the freeway that got in the wrong lane and that you help let in in front of you

those little acts as individuals contribute collectively to our answer to

this time in history and from that perspective I think we all play a vital

role in where we're going with with 2012 and anything beyond that they always say

that finding the the face that was before you were born or however they

want to however that's phrased in some of the traditions that's that's that's

what it is you know to the dissolving all of the attachments and

identifications that you were told you needed to have in order to be a

successful whatever in this reality well you have to dissolve them all they're

not helping you it is clear that the people of the past our ancient

ancestors

looked at the world from a far different perspective than we do today they seem

to be much more in touch with nature the cosmos and the people around them it's

like the difference between the city and the forest in the forest the quiet

helps us remember not only who we are but what we really know our powers and

our potentials appear to be atrophying in the modern world we are losing our

ability to think a new world into existence

maybe we need to be more like the shamans more like the alchemists is the

cause of many of our problems from war to pollution to violence the fact that

we are so distracted by the outer world that we are not listening to our

inner voices anymore have the noise and intrusions of the modern world become so

loud that they are drowning out the truth of who we are in the cosmology of

the Americas there are three worlds

there's our world which is the middle world the world that we live in there's

the lower world which is inside the earth which we could compare to these

unconscious domains of the psyche of the mind and then there's the upper

world which is the super conscious the domains of our possibility these worlds

are also associated with time so that the lower world is the time

of the past when we put our ancestors into the earth it's the time and the

place of the ancestors the middle world is time present and the upper world is

the time to come and it seems that we are approaching a point where a mass

kundalini experience is going to be triggered and Shakti will rise up the

spine to meet Shiva coming down from above so you have something that they

call this spiritual experience and that's what we're looking for in the

spiritual wedding where you have the annihilation of the ego the samadhi

experience the ecstasy in fact which means standing outside of the body and

the end of duality the end of the ego this seems to time with it with

everything seems to tie together on this sort of interpretation and it even

brings in the the Peruvian prophecy where you have the three cosmos is of

the shamanic cosmos is where you have the overworld the underworld and the

everyday world

and they they say that what's going to happen in tari-pe-pacha the golden age

where we meet ourselves again after 2012 is that the overworld and the

underworld converge on the everyday world now it's a little bit like Shiva

coming down and Shakti coming up to meet it

alchemists and ancient Europeans believe that there were three worlds there was

the upper earth there was the middle earth and there was the lower earth very

similar to Tolkien's cosmology and Lord of the Rings and what the cathedral's

were doing was the steeples were drawing down the energy of the upper

world of the upper earth and the well underneath the cathedral was drawing up

the energy from the lower worlds or the lower earth and there was an alchemical

marriage of the lower worlds and the upper worlds and this took place on the

floor of the cathedrals and in the Maori version the creation myth of the

Maori you have Rangi and Papa the earth god and a sky god crashing down together

which they call the curtain will fall but on further research it was found out

the original translation of that was the veil will dissolve so the dissolving of

the veil and the coming down of heaven and earth meeting each other is all

brought together in this concept of Kundalini rising so if you lived in a

fishing village you had to take the fishermen to where the catch was going

to be tomorrow so the shaman was able to journey into the upper world

to journey into the upper world to discover where the bison or the fish

were going to be the following day or journey far enough to discover who they

were becoming as a people 10,000 years from now and download that information

and bring it back to their village and embody this and in this way they would

participate consciously in evolution they would throw a grappling hook into

the future

and bring that information of our evolution as a species back into the

present and allow that to inform the members of a village now what I think

this is about in terms of the galactic alignment in 2012 is that when we come

into alignment with the galactic center it's like we've balanced the positive

and the negative forces and when that happens it stimulates the upward

movement of the Kundalini energy this is the divine Shakti

it's the energy of the goddess that flows through us to transform our

consciousness the upper world in the lower world embracing in the middle

world the union of male and female energies Shiva and Shakti the sacred

marriage now wouldn't that be nice men and women truly loving and respecting

each other now that's an idea that could change the world as I continue to

contemplate the message of 2012 I wondered if there had been an

opportunity for any other great thinkers that had considered the

dilemma of our modern world were there any other philosophers or spiritual

leaders that could answer my many questions it was then that I discovered

the words of a simple Catholic priest who lived in France in the early 20th

century he was known by the name of Teilhard de Chardin father de Chardin

had thought deeply about what was going on and where we were headed the Christian

mystic Teilhard de Chardin he had written a while ago that whenever

there's a universal distress a universal distress can be anything it's a matter

of scale it can be a world war it can be a personal tragedy you know within

clans or cultures or countries but a universal distress of the magnitude that

we are on the brink of can only be imagined we don't want to elucidate what

that might be but when that happens

archetypes of wholeness he says are released from the collective deep mind

in order to reconstellate the fragments of what is going on into wholeness de

Chardin was a paleontologist and Jesuit priests and he tried to do what

seems impossible and combine archaeology with Catholicism and but

somehow

he realized something called the theory of complexity consciousness where as the

brain gets bigger more complex we move towards a point where mankind suddenly

links up telepathically the nature of the life systems on earth as they were

dominated by the human civilization as it was now entering its global phase that

was creating a process of acceleration of the

systems of the biosphere to such a degree that before too long it could be

foreseen that the biosphere itself would be having to to shift its nature and that

we will be going into a state in which the human dominance of the biosphere and

the the alternate alteration of the cause by the human dominance of the biosphere would cause

this to what I was speaking earlier of of their having to go into some kind of phase shift and

then what would that

be and it was determined that new phase would be the noosphere that the that the that the

earth would then that the earth would then acquire its conscious mind let's say the

conscious mind of the earth is is a function of the human species going into a radically altered

state of non-egoic consciousness where the processes what we call the paranormal or

parapsychological processes become

normalized and the the unification of the mind of the earth is actually the telepathic unification

of the human mind because the humans are now spread out over the earth that their telepathic

unification is actually then what creates the no sir but that telepathic unification can't really

come about except through the cultivation of these non-egoic states so by this complexity

consciousness theory we're approaching a critical level

in which the components lose their individuality or ego and become working uh parts of a larger

being so that would on a personal level that would mean a telepathic link up between people

father de Chardin predicted that the human race would suddenly change

he said that there was an invisible mental sphere of pure consciousness that would

encircle and envelop the earth at the end of time and that this would make us all telepathic

when that event occurred once everyone's thoughts were known by everyone else we would no longer live

in a world of lies and Deceptions maybe the job of the shamans the priests and the alchemists was

to help us get ready for this telepathic event that would occur at the end of time I've been

very interested in how the galactic gnosis we might say was present at a very early date in the

Earth's history

going back to ancient Egypt going back to ancient Vedic teachings and how the core galactic gnosis

transformed and spread throughout Europe and it seems to have been the province of secret

societies to preserve this knowledge even while the world was going through a diminishment of

consciousness what the alchemists were in Europe was they were the ones who understood the nature

of the plants that grew in Europe they understood the power of minerals they understood the power of

spiritual transmutation and so the study of alchemy is the study of shamanism it's a peculiar European

form of shamanism but nevertheless it is a shamanic tradition the secret societies were engaged in

preserving the ancient galactic gnosis and we see this

filtering out through teachings in Europe like alchemy and even tarot symbolism and also in the

Middle Ages how Christian iconography preserved certain symbols of a traditional universal nature

and they encoded these symbols into like chart Cathedral for example and other cathedrals in

medieval France so we can see that once the

Christians were incredibly knowledgeable about the universe as I made my way across the continent of

the United States and met the people that live in this land I began to think about those who had

started America our founding fathers who were these men and what drove them to rebel against

the largest power on Earth at the time what was the reason that they felt the need to create an

independent country free from England

to the subject of the year 2012 took me to Washington DC as I walked the streets and visited

the many sites of the capital I realized that many of America's founding fathers were Masons

Benjamin Franklin and George Washington were both free Masons I visited the Capitol building and

many other sites I ended my trip to Washington by going to the George Washington Masonic Museum in

nearby Alexandria Virginia

there he was our first president wearing his Masonic apron there was the symbol of the

compass and the square just like the strange A's on the monument of the cross of hende I wondered

what this was all about driving south from Washington I made my way to the warmer weather

of the Deep South a rain began to fall as I entered the small town of Elberton Georgia

it was there that I discovered a monument called the Georgia

side stones this was America's Stonehenge and like Stonehenge and other monuments they are

astronomically oriented built out on a small flat area in the nearby Appalachian Mountains of Georgia

stand these huge slabs of granite on the surface of the stones are etched what looked like some

kind of new Ten Commandments in eight different languages English Arabic

Chinese

Spanish and Swahili Gary Jones is the editor of the local newspaper the Elberton star

I asked him about the Georgia guide stones I wanted to know what the guide stones were and who built

them but around 1980 a gentleman came to town uh supposedly and uh uh went to a local banker and

asked the local banker to help him locate a granite company that would enable him to

erect a monument for the future. His name was R.C. Christian. It was a moniker that he gave

himself to deal with the local people, and he didn't want anybody to know who he was.

The local banker that he talked to was a fellow by the name of Wyatt Martin

with professional help. They were able to find some granite companies that were able to build

the Guidestones on a scale that this guy envisioned. In all the talks about where

the Guidestones came from, it was R.C. Christian. So, yeah, I don't know where the name came from

or anything. When you see these Guidestones, you'll understand that we're talking about

something much larger than your average monument. So, you know, the idea was

to help Mr. Christian find someone who could operate on that grand scale.

It's eerily similar to Stonehenge, and it's built so that at certain times of the year,

you know, the sun comes through and the shadows that it casts and so forth and so on. So it's

really a neat thing. I think that what they've got inscribed on those stones are something that

has been thought out and thought out thoroughly. You know, the different languages, there's a

lot of great work that went into putting those stones up, and not just the engineering end of

things, but the thought that went into putting what's on those Guidestones.

As far as the strange stories go, occasionally I'll get a phone call from somebody who will ask me,

you know, are you in the community where the Guidestones are? And they'll have these strange

theories about who Mr. Christian is and what the Guidestones are. And when they were first erected,

I think they had some cult groups come in and do some, I don't know, spend the night out there.

When you see the inscriptions, there are guides to the future. There are things on there like

maintaining a population of whatever. And some people think that it might encourage,

you know, elimination of overpopulated areas. It's a message to a future generation,

just the way Stonehenge is, just the way the pyramids are in Egypt. So yeah,

I mean, the Guidestones are going to be here for a long, long time. The Cherokee Indians called this

part of the world the center of the universe. There are masons here who may have had some

influence on the Guidestones. Maintain humanity under 500 million

in perpetual balance with nature. Guide reproduction wisely, improving fitness and

diversity. Unite humanity with a living new language. Rule passion, faith, tradition, and

all things with tempered reason. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.

Let all nations rule internally, resolving external disputes in a world court.

Avoid petty laws and useless officials. Balance personal rights with social duties.

Prize truth, beauty, love, seeking harmony with the infinite.

And do whatelu can do, and just do whatelu can do.

Let the world give you the answer On the earth. Leave room for nature,

leave room for nature. Along the capstone of the Georgia Guidestones sitting on top of the

monument is a message written in four ancient languages. Babylonian cuneiform, Egyptian

hieroglyphics, Sanskrit, and classical Greek. The message says,

Like a message sent forward into the future, the Georgia Guidestones seem to be telling

us how to live in a new way.

I couldn't shake the strange story of the Georgia Guidestones.

I was haunted by them and their message.

I wondered about the mysterious gentleman, R.C.

Christian, who had paid to have them built.

Why had he stayed anonymous?

Was R.C.

Christian an alchemist or a mason?

Maybe there is an order of spiritual people who still walk among us, you know, some kind

of shamans or alchemists.

They might look like you or me, but they are actually more aware than us.

They know the future, and they have secret powers of the mind that we have lost.

Heading back across the United States, I stopped at the Denver airport to meet a friend.

With an hour to spare, I wandered through the airport.

In several places, I discovered large murals.

These murals are spectacular, and I was impressed by their artistry and their poignant messages.

On the south side of the airport, I discovered a plaque commemorating the men who had built

the airport.

On my way from Denver, it was my good fortune to meet three elders of the Inca people.

They had traveled all the way from the mountains of Peru to tell the world about the legend

of Pachacuti.

This was their prophecy about the end of time, which they said would occur around 2012.

Their names are Don Francisco, Don Humberto, Doña Berna, and their friend Chino.

Their words were translated into English by Marcella Griffith.

They have come to give us this message, and they live at 18,000 feet in the Andes Mountains.

And they are the descendants of the Incas.

The children of the sun.

Since those times, since the Incas, the coca leaves have been sacred, a sacred with that

gives us the messages of nature.

So they have been using these leaves since the times of the Incas as the messengers from

the mother from the earth, from nature.

O digital vibe, so I wanted you to tell their story and how important it is for us today.

First of all, I would like to say thank you so much for the taxes.

We are so grateful.

The number says that in this life we need to share and live in community with no jealousy,

no competition, but united and sharing, and not only sharing between us, in between the

people, but sharing with the earth, sharing with the mountains.

Doña Bernardina agrees that we have to live in community, and like a family, living in

a house and sharing, and live like a family.

They are going to do a reading with the coca leaves.

It's their custom to track destiny.

To look into the future with coca leaves.

They throw the coca leaves, and the coca leaves will say what they're asking.

He calls on the spirits of the mountains and the Pachamama, the earth, to tell us what

she wants us to know.

The prophecies talk about the Pachacuti.

Pacha means earth, and cuti, the turn over, the renew, the renewal of life, so the new

cycle of life that is coming.

And according to the prophecies, this is happening in the next, it's already happening,

but it has its completion as the new time to come in the next six years.

The prophecies talk about the 2012, year 2012, and December 21st as the date of when

the time, it's turned over to the new race.

2012.

To the new, to the fifth sun.

To the new vibration of the light.

This is a time of tremendous crisis in the world, but as any crisis brings us the opportunities,

opportunities to reinvent who we are.

To reinvent how we want the world, and what world we want to create for our children and

our children's children.

The Incas are the children.

They want to see the sky.

They want to see the world.

keepers of a body of wisdom that brings us the prophecies but also the processes

and the processes has to do with the transmissions of the energy that is going to help us align

with the new inca with the new homo luminous these transmissions the processes are transmissions that

help us align with who we are becoming with the new the new race that is not just a the homo

sapiens but the homo luminous and they bring us the the gifts of these transmissions of energy

that aligns us to that new new human that is a homo luminous after our conversation

donna bernard blessed me the feeling that came

me from this experience stayed with me for days what a joy to meet such people so grounded to

the earth so peaceful wise and knowing the incan elders know that what is really important in this

world is us our relationship to the earth and each other maybe the reason that we modern people

surround ourselves with so many possessions is because we are not connected to each other anymore

we have begun to believe that it's our possessions that are important

so we have sacrificed our connection to each other we are so afraid of losing all of our possessions

that we try to protect them with walls armies and police we no longer have

time for the important things maybe that's why time seems to be speeding up to us

we don't have time for loving each other anymore we don't have time for the stillness anymore maybe

incan the mayan the alchemist the shamans the yogis and priests are really doing is teaching us

how to live they have a message that we would be crazy to ignore i thought about the apocalypse

which is the christian version of the end of time i realized that every person has her or his own

independent apocalypse one day each and every one of us will face our own end of time might this be

what the ancients were also telling us about they were not only describing the end of the

world but also our own personal ending i think there's going to be more outbreaks of telepathy

for one thing uh there will probably be an increase in earth changes then well it's already

happening but i've seen around me um an increase in telepathy in my friends and family we'll be a

new reality We'll be in a process where

We're experiencing like the beginning to experience the noosphere, the telepathic mind of the Earth.

And then there's a cycle of gearing up to the next stabilization.

This will be a very dynamic period between approximately winter solstice of 2012 and then July 26th of 2013.

At that point, then we'll get to the new galactic synchronization.

So yes, I think that consciousness focused on 2012 has a kind of sociological effect.

And the more consciousness that we can pour into it, the more we're going to get out of it in terms of a transformation.

So what is happening in 2012?

Interesting. It could be a non-event.

It could be the finale of something epical.

That is the mystery that is unraveling right now.

Our task today is to...

...to journey along our timelines into the future, into who we are becoming.

And invite the future to reach back like a giant hand and pull us forward.

But the most desirable future, which is not necessarily the most probable future.

The most probable future is going to be one of increasing holes in the ozone, greater pollution, greater population.

We need to look at the highest possible future.

Not the most...

...the most probable future, but the possible future, no matter how improbable it is.

So there are a group of Inca elders, of Mayan elders, of Hopi elders that sit in meditation, tracking along the timeline of the planet to find the highest possible future for their children's children.

The kind of world that we want our children to inherit, not the probable world, but the possible world.

So our prayer for 2012, I would invite...

...our viewers to live life fully, consciously, with intent, in kindness to one another, and ask themselves how they can be of greatest service every day of their lives.

And they wake up in the morning, what can they do to make this a better world?

And wherever they go, how can they leave that place a better place than it was when they walked in?

And by virtue of doing that, whether it's through individuals or places or people, we become better people.

By living, following that code of conduct, and by virtue of that, we create a better world.

And in that way, I believe we all share the collective prayer that says 2012 is the doorway of opportunity.

Bring it on and embrace it.

Back home in the safety of the deep woods of the Pacific Northwest, I wondered about the next few years as we approach 2012.

Who will we be then?

Where will we be going?

Will we realize?

That the future is ours to make in any way that we desire?

And if this is so, what future will we choose?

50,000, 100,000, a million years ago, anyone was over into the domain of culture, tool making, myth making, dance, poetry, songs, story.

And that set the stage for the fall into history.

The incredibly...

Unusual and self-consuming process that has been going on for the past 15 or 20,000 years.

That this is actually happening to the space-time matrix.

That time is in fact speeding up.

A state of incredible destabilization.

It's a...

process of happening.

It begins with animals kept in balance by natural selection.

And it ends with a global internet of electronic information transfer and a language using species hurling its instruments toward the stars.

There has been more change since 1960 than in the previous several thousand years.

There has been more change.

since 1992 than in the previous thousand years.

Change is accelerating.

Invention, connection, adumbration of ideas,

mathematical algorithms, connectivity of people, social systems,

this is all accelerating furiously.

This is what makes history so interesting.

It's a runaway freight train on a dark and stormy night.

History, then, is ending.

History is a kind of gestation process.

It's a kind of metamorphosis.

It's an episode in the life of a species.

It's a period of high risk.

It's like what a butterfly is doing in a cocoon

or what is happening to a child in the womb.

It's a gestation process where one form of life is being changed into another.

It's a journey into the presence of the Gaian,

one mind, that the Earth is a coherent whole.

It is a thinking, feeling, intending being.

What we must do, I think, is see our future in the imagination,

catalyze the imagination,

form symbiotic relationships with the plants,

affirm archaic values,

and spread the good news that what is out of control,

what is in fact dying,

is a world that had become too top-heavy with its own hubris,

too bent by its own false value systems,

and too dehumanized to care about what happened to its own children.
