“Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.” - Pablo Picasso
Much
is being written about 2012 and what changes that year will bring. The
Mayan calendar and various other religious and spiritual prophecies
have seeped into popular culture to the extent that much of the world
will be holding their breath on December 21, 2012 at 11:11 PM Universal
Time, like Y2K to the umpteenth degree.
I
have often been asked what I believe will happen on that day, if
anything. The way I see it, it is already happening; we are already
knee-deep in the preamble web of events, from which the tendrils of our
future will be created. Whether as a result of ancient prophecies
coming to pass, our having to finally take responsibility for the
excesses of the past century, or simply the full-blown noospheric power
of the expectations of millions of psyches, 2012 promises to be a
banner year.
Whatever
the cause, I must admit to a sense of further quickening. Terence
McKenna is likely smiling knowingly from Somewhere, as the lines on the
graph of his Timewave Zero theory
march their way towards the 2012 zenith. I believe we are now
witnessing the rapid spiraling of current crises and scenarios into
some terrific opportunities for nefarious solutions by our world’s
elite, not to mention the documented potential for spectacular
destruction within our solar system. Whether these events will happen,
much less converge exactly on that 12/21/12 date, or even within that
year, I could not say for sure, but the timing is notable.
Frankly
it’s coming so fast and furiously right now that I can barely keep up
with it, as the same quickening seems to be happening in my own life,
on smaller scale, in some kind of ironic, synchronistic testimony to
the scalable unified field. I simply don’t have time to write about it
as I would like, because I’m so busy living it. Perhaps we all are, in
our own ways, navigating the Eschaton, whether we believe in it or not.
We
are certainly being inundated with a constant banter, which perhaps
attempts to instill fear, though ought to only keep us focused and
alert. Economic crisis, world currency, new world order, world war,
civil liberties, socialism, artificial intelligence, nonlethal weapons
technology, seed banks, UFO disclosure, 2012 solar cycle, prophecies,
earthquakes, volcanoes, sustainability, self-sufficiency, gardening,
alternative energy, free energy, consciousness shift, revolution,
evolution…truth does seem to be stranger than fiction these days.
Another
resonant topic which continues to haunt me is Planet X or a binary
star/sister sun theory, though I cannot provide substantial
third-dimensional proof, enigmatic Vatican probes and Antarctic telescopes
notwithstanding. The only shred of mainstream scientific evidence could
be that our ‘global warming’ phenomenon seems to actually be happening across our solar system, not just on Earth. Polar ice continues to melt, but Jupiter’s great red storm is shrinking too. Still others say we are headed for another ice age. How about this radical take at Rense: Evidence of Solar Manipulation and Solar Changes?
What
doesn’t seem to be up for debate is the fact that our Sun’s behavior
can be worrisome. Many of the ancient prophecies seem to include
mention of the Sun, and/or other planetary movements, such as the Mayan
belief that the 2012 date indicated the end of the time of the Fourth
Sun, and the beginning of the world of the Fifth Sun. In Revelation 6:12,
the sun turned black after a great earthquake. Other ancient
prophecies, including the Koran, the Norse Ragnarok, the Egyptian
Ipuwer Papyrus, the Kolbrin Bible, North American Indian prophecy and
many, many other books in the Bible warn of a future time of
destruction during which the earth will burn and shake violently. I
enumerated many of these in my book in the chapter, Destruction by Fire. I noted the strange recurrence of these similar warnings across time and culture. Here’s a good overview of the Mayan calendar and the solar cycles.
Strange ancient hieroglyphics,
now discovered in widely diverse locations around the globe from
Colorado to Yemen, Australia and South America, all seem to be
referring to “some event, possibly related to the Sun, which was prophesied to change human civilization.”
Currently our Sun is in a period of extreme quiet, with the lowest sunspot activity
in nearly a century of recording, the great calm before what is now
expected to be a great solar storm in 2012, when the sun reaches the
apex of its 11-year cycle. Due to the weakening magnetic fields around
both Earth and the Sun, it is expected to be more ferocious than usual.
A recent report
on severe space weather and its potential economic and societal effects
has been making its way into the mainstream media. One can now find
various releasing hair-raising alerts in this regard, one after the
other.
From the Telegraph:
Scientists are expecting a more intense solar cycle this time around.
Jimmy Raeder, a physicist with the University of New Hampshire,
explained it is “because the Earth’s and the sun’s magnetic fields will
be in sync at the cycle’s peak, expected in 2012, that will cause an
influx of solar particles”.
From NASA: A Giant Breach in Earth’s Magnetic Field,
“NASA’s five THEMIS spacecraft have discovered a breach in Earth’s
magnetic field ten times larger than anything previously thought to
exist.” At first scientists couldn’t even believe it. Themis
is working to determine the severity of the expected upcoming solar
storm,and the magnitude of effects it will have on our electronic grids
and satellite systems.
In December of last year, from Fox News: Powerful Solar Storm Could Shut Down U.S. for Months. Another recent Fox News report with physicist Michio Kaku is frighteningly clear. WATCH IT.
I am familiar with Dr. Kaku and his calm intelligence, and this seems
almost outrageous coming from him. He claims he and his fellow
scientists made a mistake, and that the 2012 solar cycle will be far
more disastrous than previously imagined. Wow.
Here’s a real doozy of a doomsday scenario recently outlined by New Scientist: Space storm alert: 90 seconds from catastrophe. Or how about this from the Daily Mail, Solar storm could cause planetary disaster at any time, warn scientists. A Danish study has even concluded that the earth’s magnetic field is impacting our climate. All this, and CNN is still debunking 2012 as a meaningless popular culture meme? Well, which one is it??
Australia is adding a new magnetic field observatory to study the weakening field and hopefully gain warning of an imminent polar reversal. Meanwhile check Spaceweather.com for news and updates. NOAA provides current solar data, and here’s their solar activity monitor. Here is their space weather prediction center. And the seed banks continue to be made ready by 2011.
Here’s a YouTube video
of Jay Weidner at the recent 2012 conference talking about the sun’s
reduced heliosphere and an inundation of radiation from the center of
the galaxy by 2012. The warnings, he explains, are important, but he
also separates himself from the ‘gloom and doomers’ by expressing that
this change could be seen as an opportunity, even if it was forced upon
us.
I
find myself agreeing with that. Using a pending Apocalypse as an
opportunity is the essence of Surfing the Tao. Whether anything will
happen in 2012 or not, current world events are forcing us to take a
hard look at how we are choosing to live on this planet. There are of
course many people who are too conditioned to the trees to even notice
the forest, much less discern any correlations and make adequate
preparations within themselves. But more people are growing vegetable
gardens this year than ever, and companies are even running out of
seeds. Murmurs of alternative energy solutions are louder than ever.
Communities are turning inwards for solutions, as well we all should. Networks
espousing such thoughtfulness, teamwork and sustainability are
springing up everywhere. Whether it’s to prepare for the End of the
World, or just the end of an unsustainable world of bad habits, it’s
all good.
Many
believe there will be a shift, whether wholly on this day or as a
beginning on this date (or perhaps now already started, to be completed
then) from the third to the fourth density; in other words some kind of
shift in consciousness, or dimensions. Of this possibility I have also
received a kind of inner confirmation, though it remains nebulous as to
what, how, where, and when. People seem to have their own theories on
that, to be sure. Love is key; true unselfish compassion is essential,
and perhaps if we can cultivate that, the rest will come. Personally, I
suggest the teachings of Jesus remain the best wisdom to follow in that
department, whatever your religious or spiritual beliefs, if any.
Indeed
we are very much affected by magnetic fields; would a significant
change in the field give us just what we would need to reach Beyond
what we think of as reality? A “perfect storm” indeed perhaps? Creation
from destruction? I might like to posit one additional intuition here
as well. I have always felt that this ’shift’ might also either
require, or gain a significant boost, from some sort of technology, yet
to be pinpointed. I’m not sure why I think that, or what it is, just
the idea of some kind of portal, stargate or even shield has continued
to nag at me. Call me crazy, but I think there are a lot of puzzle
pieces still out there. Just take a look at the megaliths around the
world. Seems a bit too contrived to be random. Anyway just a thought.
Whether
events converge to create the perfect storm in 2012, or simply give us
the perfect opportunity for a positive evolution, the best advice I can
give is pay attention. Be prepared, but not fearful. Keep your ear to the ground, and use your inner discernment to find the thread of truth.
And love your neighbor. You might need him one of these days.
Prevent trouble before it arises.
Put things in order before they exist.
-Tao Te Ching #64
