Coming Polar Shift - The Horizon Project

Source http://www.december212012.com/articles/news/Coming_Polar_Shift-The_Horizon_Project.htm



On 'Coast To Coast' George Knapp, conducted an interview of Brent Miller which offers a very complete description of what could take place by December 21, 2012. Brent Miller is a scientist and the holder of over thirty U.S. patents. He is the founder of the 'Horizon Project', a group of leading scientists, researchers, physicists, Astrophysicists, linguistic experts, and geologists from around the world who have been studying the coming 2012 event. Brent and his colleagues have dire warnings for humanity concerning earth's alignment with the 'dark rift'.

Through years of research and historical documentation Brent Miller and the other scientists with The Horizon Project, have concluded that massive earth changes will take place quickly over a period of days or even hours, and not over long spans of time as was previously believed.
Our solar system now approaches horizontal alignment with the galactic plane and the black hole which lies at it's center. This event occurs every 24,000 years, and will occur on December 21, 2012, and it could negatively effect all life on earth. The Mayans said: "When the four corners of the earth sit on the 'dark rift', a cosmic portal will open and souls will be harvested." According to Albert Einstein, time and space are distorted by black holes.
The Horizon Project has concluded that there could be a 'Pole Shift' near the time of galactic alignment. The gravitational forces exerted on our earth during a pole shift would cause continents to rise from the ocean's depths while others will sink as Atlantis sank.
25% of the world's population now lives within eighty miles of the worlds coastlines, that's approximately two billion people who would die within forty eight hours of a pole shift from mile high tidal waves and ocean flooding.

Ocean flooding is corroborated by the predictions of 'Our Lady of Fátima'. Pope John Paul II was asked by a reporter "What about the Third Secret of Fatima? Should it not have already been published by 1960?" he replied: "It should be sufficient for all Christians to know this: if there is a message in which it is written that the oceans will flood whole areas of the earth, and that from one moment to the next millions of people will perish, truly the publication of such a message is no longer something to be so much desired."

Within a matter of months another third of human life on the planet could die from lack of food, clean water, and medical supplies. With this kind of decimation there will be no 'Red cross', no FEMA, no roads, no infrastructure, no communications, and no technology, and with the power grid is gone humanity would be thrown into the dark ages.
America and other similar high technology societies would suffer the worst fate, whereas the populations in third world countries wouldn't suffer as dramatically. They are already accustomed to poverty, fending for themselves, growing their own crops, keeping animals like chickens and pigs.
With two thirds of the human populations dead and food supplies completely exhausted, and no way to grow more, people will begin to turn on one another and kill for food.
After sifting through ten thousand documents, The Horizon Project discovered that almost every ancient culture on the planet regardless of their language or what century they lived in has similar legends of high technology that once existed before them. And the legends always spoke of the destruction of those civilizations by 'a water based event'.
During the actual shifting of the poles the planet will move in a different direction from the atmosphere generating super winds that scour the earth of vegetation and life. Dust will fill the atmosphere from volcanic eruptions triggered by the tremendous gravitational forces exerted on the earth. The dust will block out the sun causing instant winter and possibly an ice age.
According to ice core samples dating back six hundred thousand years, every 110,000 years there is a huge increase in co2 in the earths atmosphere followed by an immediate ice age, which could indicate that the rise and destruction of human civilization is a repetitive event.
"Much of the sea life would die," according to The Horizon Project, "because sea life can't live in murky waters." The oceans are also the source of half the earth's oxygen, which is produced by phytoplankton, one-celled plants that live at the ocean surface.
As earth passes through the Galactic Plane it will pass through a concentration of debris- asteroids, some of planetary size, which have lost their kinetic energy and no longer travel in a wave pattern around the perimeter of the galaxy like our solar system. As our solar system passes through this disc of debris it is possible that asteroids could impact our earth.

According to biblical scripture: "The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood," - Revelation 8:8 "one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed." - Revelation 8:9

he largest super volcano on earth is in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. It is active and could erupt during the extreme gravitational centrifugal forces exerted on the planet during a pole shift.
"The impact of a Yellowstone eruption is terrifying to comprehend." says Professor McGuire. "Magma would be flung 50 kilometers into the atmosphere. Within a thousand kilometers virtually all life would be killed by falling ash, lava flows and the sheer explosive force of the eruption. One thousand cubic kilometers of lava would pour out of the volcano, enough to coat the whole of the USA with a layer 5 inches thick. The explosion would be the loudest noise heard by man for 75,000 years."
The long-term effects would be even more devastating. The thousands of cubic kilometers of ash that would shoot into the atmosphere would block out light from the sun, causing global temperatures to collapse, throwing the world into an ice age. The world's plant life, the other half the earths oxygen generation system, would be killed by the ash and the drop in temperature. The resulting climate change would devastate the planet, making it virtually impossible to grow food for years. Professor McGuire says "There's nowhere to hide from the effects of a super-volcano. One day - perhaps tomorrow, perhaps in fifty years, perhaps in 10,000 - it will erupt; once again wreaking devastation across the North American continent, bringing the bitter cold of Volcanic Winter to Planet Earth. Mankind may become extinct."
Every eleven years the sun's north and south poles reverse causing an increase in it's activity which takes the form of solar flairs- giant bursts of radioactive fire which are ejected out into space from the surface. Approximately every hundred years the sun releases it's largest bursts of radiation which scientists believe could occur in 2012. A solar event of this magnitude will destroy satellites, power stations, the world power grid. According to the warnings, there would be no electricity for an extended period of time and food would run out in just three days. Civilization would be knocked back to the eighteenth century resulting in the complete breakdown of order and mass starvation.
As we come closer to alignment the temperature of our solar system is increasing and the gravitational forces are greater. This could cause solar flares to be much more intense and more powerful than anything humanity has witnessed.
There are more than 400 nuclear power plants on the earth. The Horizon Project doesn't get into the subject of nuclear power plants melting down or the release of plutonium on the earth during a pole shift. "Plutonium, the most significant element in nuclear waste, is so carcinogenic that hypothetically half a kilo evenly distributed could cause cancer in everyone on Earth."

"And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days." - Mark 13:20

Let us hope that This bible verse truly means that God will step in and save the plants, animals, and humans before radiation and the Yellowstone volcano terminate all life on earth.

Hindu Prophecy

Golden Age to begin in 2012
Mayan Calendar Corroborates Hindu Prophecy
In the “Brahma-Vaivarta Purana”, Lord Krishna tells Ganga Devi that a Golden Age will come in the Kali Yuga - one of the four stages of development that the world goes through as part of the cycle of eras, as described in Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna predicted that this Golden Age will start 5,000 years after the beginning of the Kali Yuga, and will last for 10,000 years.
Mayan Calendar Matches Hindu Calendar
It is interesting that this prediction of the emergence of a new world is prophesied to appear about the same time that the Mayans predicted it to come! The Mayan calendar began with the Fifth Great Cycle in 3114 BC and will end on 21 December 2012 AD. The Hindu Kali Yuga calendar began on 18 February 3102 B.C. There is only a difference of 12 years between the Hindu's beginning of the Kali Yuga and the Mayan's beginning of the Fifth Great Cycle.
Golden Age Could Begin in 2012
The ancient Hindus mainly used lunar calendars but also used solar calendars. If an average lunar year equals 354.36 days, then this would be about 5270 lunar years from the time when the Kali Yuga started until 21 Dec 2012. This is the same year that the Mayans predict rebirth of our planet. It is also about 5113 solar years of 365.24 days per year, and is day number 1,867,817 into the Kali Yuga. By either solar or lunar years, we are over 5,000 years into the Kali Yuga and it is time for Lord Krishna's prophecy to happen according to the ancient Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna's Golden Age could easily begin in 2012!
Mayan Prophecy Matches Hindu Prophecy
It is amazing that both calendars began at about the same time over 5,000 years ago and both calendars predict a totally new world and/or golden age after about 5,000 years into their calendars! We are definitely on to something with these Mayan and Hindu 2012 predictions. Historically, this is an amazing fact since these two ancient cultures did not have any contact.
The Bhagvad Gita is an epic book, not just because it's a great treatise on God's speech with a Man, but also because it holds the substance of truth for the current generation. For some, it's a "fortune telling" book.
The scripture has clearly defined the state of human morality and actions (karma) with time. There are four stages of time, and each stage sees degradation of human morality. The appalling injustice and shocking news you see and hear every day was predicted in this more than 5000 year old book. According to the book, we are now living in an age called "Kali Yuga", and its characteristics are described as:

• Rulers will become unreasonable: they will levy taxes unfairly. Rulers will no longer see it their duty to promote spirituality or to protect their subjects: they will become a danger to the world. People will start migrating seeking countries where wheat and barley form the staple food source.
  
• Avarice and wrath will be common, men will openly display animosity towards each other. Ignorance of Dharma will occur. Lust will be viewed as being socially acceptable. People will have thoughts of murder for no justification, and they will see nothing wrong with that mind-set.
  
• People will be inclined to follow false sciences. Family murders will also occur. People will see those who are helpless as easy targets and remove everything from them.
  
• Many other unwanted changes will occur. The right hand will deceive the left and the left the right. Men with false reputation of learning will teach the Truth and the old will betray the senselessness of the young, and the young will betray the dotage of the old. Cowards will have the reputation of bravery and the brave will be enervated cowards. People will not trust a single person in the world, not even their immediate family. Even husband and wife will find contempt in each other.
  
• In the Kali Yuga even pre-teenage girls will get pregnant. The primary cause will be the social acceptance of sexual intercourse as being the central requirement of life.
  
• It is believed that sin will increase exponentially, whilst virtue will fade and cease to flourish. People will take vows only to break them soonafter.
  
• Alongside death and famine being everywhere, men will have lustful thoughts and so will women.People will without reason destroy trees and gardens. As previously mentioned, men will murder. There will be no respect for animals, and also meat eating will start.
  
• People will become addicted to intoxicating drinks. Men will find their jobs stressful and will go to retreats to escape their work.
  
• Gurus will no longer be respected and their students will attempt to injure them. Their teachings will be insulted and followers of Kama will wrest control of the mind from all human beings.
  
• As the sin increases exponentially, so will the incidence of divine justice and wrath.
  

These signs sound remarkably similar to the day and age in which we currently live, and seems to be leading us to something incredible in the not to distant future.

Towards the end of this Yuga, Kalki will come riding on a white horse to battle Kali and his dark forces. The world would suffer a fiery end where all evil will perish. And in turn will start a new age, the age of Satya Yuga.
When flowers will be begot within flowers, and fruits within fruits, then will the Yuga comes to an end. And the clouds will pour rain unseasonably when the end of the Yuga approaches.

Bible Code

The code was discovered by an Israeli mathematician, Dr. Eliyahu Rips, one of the world's leading experts in group theory, a field of mathematics that underlies quantum physics. It has been confirmed by famous mathematicians at Harvard, Yale, and the Hebrew University. It has been replicated by a senior code-breaker at the U.S. Department of Defense. It has passed three levels of secular peer review at a leading U.S. math journal.

When Drosnin met Rips for the first time, Rips pulled down a volume from his bookshelf and quoted an 18th century sage called the Genius of Vilna who had written: The rule is that all that was, is, and will be unto the end of time is included in the Torah, from the first word to the last word. "The Bible code is a computer program," he explained.

The Bible code was discovered in the original Hebrew version of the Old Testament; the Bible as it was first written. The code is ecumenical but exists only in Hebrew as this is the original language of the Bible. Rips said that the first hint of the encoding had been found more than 50 years ago by a rabbi in Prague, Czechoslovakia, H.M.D. Weissmandel. He had heard about it totally by chance. Seeking the original book, he finally found the only copy at the National Library in Israel. There were only a few pages about the code, but it seemed interesting.

Isaac Newton was certain that there was a hidden code in the Bible that would reveal the future. He learned Hebrew and spent half his life trying to find it. It had become his obsession. The discovery that had eluded Newton was made by Rips because he had the one essential tool that Newton lacked - a computer. The hidden text of the Bible was encoded with a kind of time-lock. It could not be opened until the computer had been invented! According to Rips, there is an infinite amount of information encoded in the Bible. Each time a new name or word or phrase is discovered in the code, a new crossword puzzle is formed.

Einstein said: "The distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however persistent." Time is not all what it seems. It does not flow in one direction, and the future exists simultaneously with the past.

Bible Codes Predict Solar Flare Holocause in 2012 
The Bible Codes are clear that the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012 has some significance in regards to apocalyptic events. There is a large, stone-like comet due to approach the Earth around 2012. The destructive characteristic of this event is described as "tongue-like". The folks at Exodus 2006 theorized that the comet breaks up like the Shoemaker-Levy comet did when it approached Jupiter, thus creating a tongue-like array of comet matter which impacts the Earth in a shotgun effect. The approach of a large comet in 2012 could trigger a solar eruption that will fry the Earth like a rotisserie. The solar flare and resulting coronal mass ejection (CME) will be the tongue-like characteristic of this event.
Here is one very tight Bible Code cluster that describes the approach of a large comet in 2012..

http://exodus2006.com/2012code.htm
2012 - comet - large - stone-like / stony - object - sped
Tongue-like - Sun - whole earth / earth annihilated - smitten / stricken - smitten
Planetary / wanderer - fragmentary - sixty - mile - blunderbuss / scatter-gun
Crater - Canada - ultimate - terrifying - appalling - lethal
Modifier - mantle - axis - tilting - tipping - Speeded
Seismic - eradication - It will be crumbled / I will tear to pieces 

There are many aspects of this event that take on apocalyptic meaning. The rain of huge flaming hailstones described in Revelation can easily be imagine to originate from a celestial body breaking up as it penetrates the Earth’s gravity field and creates an array of impact events. The poles shifting as a result of the energetic disruption from the comet and from the reaction of the Sun can also be easily imagined to be a result of the mantle shifting (mentioned in the Bible Code above, as well) and the electromagnetic field of the Earth undergoing a dramatic change. All of these possibilities can be associated with the approach of a massive comet, but the central focus... the most damaging aspect of the 2012 time period seems to be a solar eruption and the resulting CME.
There are two more Bible Code clusters that describe this solar kill shot. These clusters are specific and point directly at the sun as the cause of destruction on Earth.

Solar Flare - Holocaust - I will send to all the men - Guilt - Day of Judgement
A sign - To Flare, the sun will go away/depart/vanish - The sun will stand still in the midst of heaven 

According to an article In the January 9, 1999 issue of New Scientist magazine, they propose that the sun could send out a monstrous flare powerful enough to melt the ice on Jupiter's moons, destroy much of Earth's ozone layer and obliterate all our satellites. This is another scientific verification of the threat that the sun holds for life on Earth.

Timewave Zero and December 21 2012

Source: december212012.net



Novelty theory attempts to calculate the ebb and flow of novelty in the universe as an inherent quality of time. It is an idea conceived of and discussed at length by Terence McKenna from the early 1970s until his death in the year 2000. Novelty theory involves ontology, morphogenesis, and eschatology. Novelty, in this context, can be thought of as newness, density of complexification, and dynamic change as opposed to static habituation. According to McKenna, when "novelty" is graphed over time, a fractal waveform known as timewave zero or simply the timewave results. The graph shows at what times, but never at what locations, novelty is increasing or decreasing. According to the timewave graph, great periods of novelty occurred about 4 billion years ago when Earth was formed, 65 million years ago when dinosaurs were extinct and mammals expanded, about 10,000 years ago after the end of the ice age, around late 18th century when social and scientific revolutions progressed, during the sixties, around the time of 9/11, and with coming novelty periods in November 2008, October 2010, with the novelty progressing towards the infinity on 21st December 2012.
The timewave itself is a combination of numerology and mathematics. It is formed out of McKenna's interpretation and analysis of numerical patterns in the King Wen sequence of the I Ching (the ancient Chinese Book of Changes). This concept first took root in his entheogenic experiences shared by him and his brother Dennis McKenna as documented in the book The Invisible Landscape: Mind, Hallucinogens, and the I Ching. The theory is clearly based in numerology and takes shape out of McKenna's belief that the sequence is artificially arranged as such purposefully. Mathematically, the sequence is graphed according to a set of mathematical ratios, and displays a fractal nature as well as resonances although it was not captured in a true formula until criticism from mathematician Matthew Watkins . McKenna interpreted the fractal nature and resonances of the wave, as well as his theory of the I Ching's artificial arrangement, to show that the events of any given time are recursively related to the events of other times.

As the theory was never published in a peer-reviewed journal and McKenna's sources and reasoning were primarily what would be considered numerological rather than mathematical by professional mathematicians and scientists, the theory has failed to gain any (scientific) credibility or much recognition. However, McKenna was highly critical of such fields for adhering to what he saw as a flawed Occidental paradigm, and did not seek to create a theory acceptable to the mathematical community. The theory was, however, revised by nuclear physicist John Sheliak after a flaw was discovered by Matthew Watkins. The new revision is often referred to as Timewave One, but is also included in the set of alternate waves in the Timewave Zero software. It is claimed that this new version is more closely matched to history.

 















Precepts of novelty theory
Novelty theory has a few basic tenets:
That the universe is a living system with a teleological attractor at the end of time that drives the increase and conservation of complexity in material forms.

That novelty and complexity increase over time, despite repeated set-backs.
That the human brain represents the pinnacle of complex organization in the known universe to date.
That fluctuations in novelty over time are self-similar at different scales. Thus the rise and fall of the Roman Empire might be resonant with the life of a family within a single generation, or with an individual's day at work.
That as the complexity and sophistication of human thought and culture increase, universal novelty approaches a Koch curve of infinite exponential growth.
That in the time immediately prior to, and during this omega point of infinite novelty, anything and everything conceivable to the human imagination will occur simultaneously.
That the date of this historical endpoint is December 21, 2012, the end of the long count of the Mayan calendar.
This End of History was to be the final manifestation of The Eschaton, which McKenna characterized as a sort of strange attractor towards which the evolution of the universe developed.

Polar Shift by 2012? New Evidence and Theory Suggests Einstein May Have Been Right

By Carl Peterson 
Source http://www.december212012.com/articles/Albert-Einstein/Polar-Shift-by-2012.htm

Science has long speculated that the earth's center rotates at a different speed from the crust. The big question really has been "What holds the earth's crust in equilibrium with the center?" Visionary writer and inventor Carl Peterson may have discovered the answer. In looking for the reasons "magnetic north" lies far from the North Pole, Peterson has stumbled upon a scientific explanation that also fits with past polar shifts; and offers probable causes, timing, and local effects of the next shift. His theory complements and completes a Charles Hapgood theory endorsed by Albert Einstein, in which the poles, aided by massive ice build up, are eventually thrown by centrifugal force to the equator.

If the center rotates at a different speed from the crust, there is good reason to believe that this is the cause for the static electricity apparent on the earth's surface. If that is true, then North Pole on the crust must have an opposite magnetic charge from north in the earth's core.
The obvious conlusion is that "magnetic north" is not a specific designated point on the globe, but rather an "average" location determined by the confluence of the magnetic north of the massive earth center, and what must be in reality the weaker "magnetic south" of the earth's crust, which in fact rests at the North Pole.
If the earth's center has a pronounced "wobble" as it spins, slipping and sliding as it were beneath the crust, it is then the intense magnetic attraction between the two that defines the speed of the earth crust rotation. In other words, the crust spins at exactly the same speed as the wobble, or interior "precession". This effect can be demonstrated with a gyroscope or simple child's top. The top can have a high exterior spin rate, and at the same time a slowly wandering wobble.
The magnetic characteristics of the crust are then probably electromagnetic in nature, fully dependent upon the core for activation. If so, it will require a relatively weak catalyst to break this bond, sending the ice at the poles on a journey once again down (or up) to the equator.
Science knows that the ice on the polar land masses continues to build up rapidly. Warmer polar temperatures actually deposit more ice and snow, now more than two miles deep in some places.
A whole raft of prophesies and predictions (Cayce, Nostradamus, Hopi and Mayan Indians) point towards an event like this happening soon.
In his book "Earth Changes" Peterson goes one step further in actually detailing a step by step scenario of the next polar shift. Are there ways to avoid the next shift? Probably not. Are there ways to survive it? Undoubtably, being in the right place at the right time with the right gear can make a huge difference.
Carl Peterson is truly a man for all seasons. Carl has authored several books including his most recent, "The Zen of No Tax" revealing a simple alternative to the NWO tax conspiracy. Inventor and founder of the Peterson Portable Sawmill, Carl has done the corporate experience, lived in a remote British Columbian religious commune, lived on a Fijian jungle plantation for 13 years, and survived a brutal beating at the hands of armed Fijian soldiers following the '87 Fiji coup. At the moment Carl is focusing on a New Zealand tax revolution in order to restore freedom, abundance, sanity, and common sense to government leaders; and working on a new book promoting deeper relationships and connections between individuals.

Edgar Cyce - Mayan Year of Destiny 2012

Editor of the Ancient Mysteries Newsletter, an A.R.E

    At present, the year 2012 is only of interest to those of us who believe in the wisdom of ancient cultures. But soon, very soon, everyone is going to be looking for more information about this Mayan prophesied year of destiny, which many believe to be the end of the Mayan calendar and thus the end of time as we have known it. Let’s look at this calendar and date more closely.

The Long Count Calendar
     Actually, it all began with a discovery that has been known for decades about the culture that invented what is known as the Long Count Calendar. On the Pacific coastal plain of Chiapas, Mexico, a few miles from the Guatemala border, the astrological observatory of the Izapa civilization was located. Some believe that the Izapa were the transitional culture between the older Olmec civilization and the emerging Maya; others believe the Izapa were Olmecs.
    For almost a thousand years the Long Count Calendar was recorded by the Izapa on monuments and ceramic vessels. Most of the dates refer to local, mundane events, like the crowning of a specific king. However, some of the Long Count monuments refer to mythological events that occurred at the beginning of the current “World Age” that we are living in and which is soon coming to an end.

Time Cycles
     Scholars have figured out how the Long Count Calendar correlates with our own Gregorian calendar (using a lot of arithmetic), so we know that the legendary time of the beginning of our present World Age – when all the values were set to zero – occurred on August 11, 3114 BC. And using a complex system of Mayan Baktuns (measurements of time), we can calculate when their calendar reaches a new zero point – basically, every 13 Baktuns (5,125 years), the Long Count resets to zero – the calculated time when our present World Age ends and a new cycle of time commences.

Creation, Fall, and Resurrection
     Several Creation monuments describe events that occurred in 3114 BC. The texts associated with these Creation monuments state that “creation happens at the Black Hole,” at “the Crossroads,” and “the image” will appear in the sky. The Maya adopted the Izapa calendar, creation myths, and time cycles counting method.
    The renowned researcher and author Linda Schele (in Freidel, Schele, and Parker’s Maya Cosmos) wrote: “I realized that every major image from Maya cosmic symbolism was probably a map of the sky. . . . [The] patterns in the Milky Way and the constellations were directly related to the Maya vision of Creation.” Her realization has opened the door to understanding the Mayan cosmology and prophecy.
     In order to grasp the Mayan message, we need to understand a little about how they saw the sky and how events in the sky indicated times of death, rebirth, and the passage of time for souls living in this galaxy and in this solar system.
    The Milky Way is their major image in the sky. As we know, we live on the outskirts of our galaxy and the Milky Way is the dense cluster of stars when looking toward the center of our galaxy. It appears as a long strip of stars in the sky above us. For the Maya, the rising, passing, and descending of the Milky Way in the sky marked major points in the cycle of time. Also, parts of the Milky Way and other stars prominent in our sky have specific meaning to our lives and the history of humanity and the heavenly realms, the realms of the gods.
     To the Maya, the Milky Way’s major features and the changes in its position and shape during the night reveal our origin, passage, and destiny. They are the Tree of Life; the Celestial Crocodile that gnaws at the Tree of Life; the Cosmic Canoe of the “Paddler gods” that follows after the Crocodile; the “lying down sky,” or Black Dream Place; and seven stars in the Big Dipper, representing the egocentric Seven Macaw, who attempted to take the place of the Sun.
      Simplistically, the heaven passage tells the story of the rise of the Tree of Life at sunset, followed by the rise of egoism and self-seeking (as seen in Seven Macaw), which brings the rise of dangerous lower urges that crawl on their belly (as the cursed serpent in the Garden of Eden) and attack the rising of life. But these are driven off by the Paddler gods, and eventually the Tree of Life is reborn and rises again near dawn – the complete story of the rise, fall, and resurrection of life.

Rebirth on 2012
On August 11, 3114 BC, a new Solar Age began and the Sun Lord was reborn. Creation Lord deities are often portrayed attending the rebirth of the world, including one called Bolon Yokte K’u, who is closely associated with war, conflict, and the Underworld. Despite these associations, Bolon Yokte is a god that is often present during Creation events. He is portrayed on a ceramic called Vessel of the Seven Lords, which contains the date 3114 BC, the beginning of our present 13-Baktun cycle. Of course, the date that interests us is the beginning of the next 13- Baktun cycle, which occurs on December 21, 2012, the end of the Mayan Calendar. A recent translation of a text from Tortuguero, a Classic Maya site north of Palenque, explicitly points to the date December 21, 2012. Translated by Mayan epigrapher David Stuart, the legible part of the text reads: “At the end of 13 Baktuns, on 4 Ahau 3 Kankin, 13.0.0.0.0; something occurs when Bolon Yokte descends.” The verb glyph describing what happens is effaced, so it is replaced with the word something, but the creation lord Bolon Yokte is depicted, meaning that 2012 was thought of by the Maya as a creation or recreation of the world, possibly during a time of war, conflict, and dominance of the Underworld and the Lords of the Underworld.
    As we can see, the end of the Mayan Calendar is simply the end of the present World Age. And, important to us, it simply marks the beginning of the next cycle of rebirth, renewal.
There are no specific markings or statements about the year 2012 on the archaeological artifacts at Izapa, but there are numerous images at Izapa that portray a rare celestial alignment that appears in the skies in the years around 2012. This galactic alignment marks the rebirth of the December solstice and the rebirth of the Sun Lord over Seven Macaw’s attempts to replace him. The Sun Lord rises through the Dark Rift in the Milky Way, located between Sagittarius and Scorpio. Scorpio is depicted near the base of the Tree of Life in Mayan illustrations. Souls on Earth experience a change of galactic seasons, a celestial time-cycle shift, with our Sun moving into rebirth at the “Black Hole” at the celestial base of the Tree of Life (a location in the great Milky Way). December 21, 2012, signals the end of this 5,125-year age that we’ve been living in and the commencement of a new Earth Age.
     When asked what the New Age means to humanity, Edgar Cayce replied: “by the full consciousness of the ability to communicate with the Creative Forces and be aware of the relationships to the Creative Forces and the uses of same in material environs. This awareness during the era or age in the Age of Atlantis and Lemuria or Mu brought what? Destruction to man, and his beginning of the needs of the journey up through that of selfishness.” (1602-3)
Cayce is informing us that in a previous time cycle, humanity had a level of consciousness and relationship with the Creative Forces that allowed us to live at higher levels of material, mental, and spiritual activity in the Earth and beyond. Unfortunately, we misused this consciousness and the power that came with the close relationship to the Forces. This misuse brought on the destruction of our great cultures and a long, karmic soul journey through the pain and confusion that resulted from our selfishness and self-centered focus on our will without regard for the will of the Creator and others. Now, as the cycles come around again, we are nearing a time when the level of consciousness and relationship with the Creative Forces will allow us once again to regain these powers. How will we use them this time?
      Before we despair that humankind is going to misuse these again, let’s remember that many, many souls and even the Logos, the Word, have come and continue to come into materiality to help prepare the way for this rebirth. We overestimate the power of the world and its leaders. The unseen, heavenly forces have greater power and will overcome the world’s darkness and selfishness, breaking through with a light that will transform this realm for a thousand years, when all evil and temptation will be bound and a golden age will reign. The biblical book of the Revelation conveys this prophecy: “I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth, and bound him for a thousand years.” (Rev. 20:2)
Is 2012 the beginning of the fulfillment of these wonderful prophecies by Edgar Cayce and the Revelation, or just another step on the long journey toward such fulfillment?
