Mayan Doomsday has thousands spooked! I used to be one of them, but now I am thinking it’s gonna be okay. Hopefully my calm is not self-delusion. Look at how these poor souls are affected:
“An ancient Mayan prophecy suggests that December 21, 2012, is “doomsday.†The mainstream media fuels fears in the gullible, leading survivalists to hoard candles, bottled water and canned food as the date of the “apocalypse†approaches.
Children sob. Teenagers contemplate suicide. Cultists travel to a flat mountaintop in France, hoping that when the world collapses, alien spaceships from another galaxy will miraculously arrive at the rendezvous point. The French government sends in the military.”
Several of our ordained ministers who run their own churches or have healing practices have written in asking how to provide spiritual counseling to people like the ones described in the article quoted above, With mere days to ‘doomsday,’ scientists call for calm
Others want to become ordained today on the numerology balanced 12-12-12 because it is the last triad date we will have this century (no such thing as 13-13-2013.) Weren’t 3-3-3 and 7-7-7 cool triad dates? Look how they released an anti-christ movie back on triad date 6-6-6. Probably ticked off the Almighty and triggered the apocalypse…
A few new minister candidates have requested ordination on the actual date of Mayan Doomsday, aka the Winter Solstice, 12-21-12. Â We ordain people every year on the equinoxes and solstices it seems — holidays with their release of spiritual energy are good days for ordination, also. But this Doomsday Solstice is a strange one… Â Today also is a unique day on the calendar, actually. Some are saying the two dates form two cosmic “alignments” here at the end of the world(!) and a great Shift is about to take place in humanity’s consciousness.
Sometimes the esoteric, alternative Christian movement (of which we are a part) gets “hard pressed,” “persecuted” and even “struck down”. But as some early Christian writer said, be he Paul or someone claiming to be Paul(!):
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
It reminds me of that song, “I get knocked down, I get up again, ain’t never gonna keep me down.” I remember our boys jammin’ to that song from their carseats years ago. They would dance and sing along every time that song came on the radio.
And the Man from Galilee said in Matthew 24:9
“Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.
And in John 16:33: Â “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
Can you see I am bucking myself up here? Hah. All is well with me and mine, don’t worry friends and family, I have just been reading about our persecuted siblings (inner Christians) and cousins (mainstream Christians) around the world.
One of our seminary graduates submitted the following intriguing insights on 2012 Mayan “Doomsday”. She hits upon all current theories regarding 2012 quickly and consisely. I think the reason certain Christians and Jews believed the Mayan Doomsday date would be the End of the World is because one of the few actual prophecies the Mayans wrote about 12-21-2012 was that a “God-Man will return to Earth.” Â God-Human or Divine-Human might be a better translation. “God-Man” was obviously interpreted by Jews and Christians to mean “Messiah”, and his (her?) returning to earth. The 3 Abrahamic religions (including Islam) have equated the God-Man / Messiah’s arrival to the End of Days, to the Last Judgement. TEOTWAWKI.
I wonder if the Iranian messiah beliefs about the 12th Imam returning soon would be in line with this “god-man returning to Earth”? Â Kinda freaky that so many traditions and religions teach a God-Human is about to return. Even the Hindus and Buddhists have a prophecy or two in their ancient writings such as the one in the Gita, “In every age I come back”, and the Tibetan one:
“When the iron bird flies and horses run on wheels, the people will be scattered like ants across the face of the earth.â€

DOES THE MAYAN CALENDAR REALLY MEAN DOOMSDAY?
IS THERE A BIGGER PICTURE?
Submitted to Rt. Rev. Katia Romanoff, Ph.D.
Director, Senior Minister, Bishop
Thesis for:
The Esoteric Interfaith Church, Inc., and Interfaith Theological Seminary
Our world is experiencing “something†grotesquely out of balance, dramatical, and delirious. There is a lot of publicity these days about the Mayan calendar and for good reason because the media tells us it’s all about doomsday. Doomsday means disaster, anything manmade or by nature. That’s a scary word, and so is the word fear because it means a distressing and negative feeling caused by a perceived threat. What threat? Does the Mayan calendar really say we’re heading for doomsday December 21, 2012? Specifically, what is the truth about the Mayan calendar, is the prophecy for real, or is there a bigger picture?
Introduction
The indigenous people of Mexico, the Maya culture, have similar beliefs like the Native American/Canadian Indian. Every living thing is sacred, especially Mother Earth and being one with the Universe. North America is their indigenous land and intellectual property. They would not threaten earth or people living on earth. Why would they? My intuition is telling me that the Mayan calendar is not a threat; “something†else is, so I did some research, included, as follows.
Methodology
December 21, 2012, and the Mayan calendar was suggested as the topic of this paper. The best source of information is internet. There are a large amount of articles, scholar reports, and videos for this topic. I researched a lot of information looking for the articles and sources with documentation and scientific analysis because they would have the strongest validity. The research articles were then categorized into sub-topics of data to correlate with a thesis format. In some cases, I simplified the language.
Mayan Civilization
The Mayan civilization started 3113 BC in the region of Mexico, Yucatan Peninsula, and Central America. Very advanced with mathematics, astronomy, and the Universal Laws. The drawings of the solar system, the glyphs they did, were so accurate to be within a fraction difference to the cycles of the planets in the solar system. The Mayan Calendar records were written in journals they called codex. Life for the Maya civilization was prosperous and healthy. (wikipedia).
The First War
In 1492, Columbus invaded America, and brought war, disease, and brutality to the Maya people. They forced the Maya people to conform to Christian beliefs. In the article, Maya calendar, it says that the Spanish made many attempts to take over the Maya, and finally did in 1697 after having killed thousands of indigenous people. (Wikipedia). (Appendix 1: Chief Red Crow story). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7cylfQtkDg
The article, Mayan Prophecy 2012: Entering Our Galactic Day, says that man was always told that the codex were destroyed, but as they say about karma and time will tell all, we now know that the Spanish Church and its government lied and cheated. The History Channel Documentary, 2012 Aztecs and Mayans end 5th Cycle Prophecy, gives their interpretation of Mayan prophecies that correspond with our lifetime of political deceit.
There is no evidence to say that there was any other influence on the Maya civilization, in the article, What is Mayan Astrology. No significant outside influences altered Maya development until the arrival of the Spanish five hundred years ago. The effects of the Spanish invasion on the indigenous astrology are devastating. They were brought in to systematically eliminate as much of the traditional ways as possible, to be replaced by the Christian model. Diseases spread rapidly eliminating most anyone who was knowledgeable of the Maya astrological traditions.
The Vatican
Pope Gregory’s calendar, the Gregorian calendar, was out of sync with the seasons, but he didn’t know how to adjust it, so when Columbus told him about the Maya functioning relative to a Universal Law and of the codex, Pope told Columbus to bring the codex to him.
In the article, The Mayan Calendar & Roman Catholic Church Connection,Richard C. Hoagland says, “Who in their right mind is going to destroy information? They (Vatican) were looking for edges on society and politics and populations, and it’s all about control.†In 1582 a German scholar was set up by Pope Gregory to reform the Gregorian calendar. The seasons had gotten out of sequence with Easter and Christmas, and the resurrection of Christ, and all that, and during the Christian era, the calendar was adjusted so that DEC-25 of the year 1 BCE was believed to be the birthday of Jesus Christ. (religious tolerance), so Pope Gregory and the German mathematician made changes to the calendar, but when all was said and done (in the year 1583), they came out with a calendar that readjusted the dates, the seasons, and the times ahead by 11 days.
Hoagland goes on to say that there is no way that Pope Gregory’s mathematician could have adjusted the calendar to reflect December 21, 2012 unless they had the Mayan codex. The Gregorian had 11:11 am, universal time included, and this is no coincidence. The code 1111, is a code for the physics that we’ve decoded from the monuments of Mars, and the Pope’s mathematician had to have had an independent source of knowledge that was much more sophisticated. Yes, the Mayan.
Cliff High states in the same article with Hoagland, “The 11:11 am alignments on December 21, 2012 was deliberately created by Pope Gregory. They took a German mathematician, who assembled a team and then they used texts that theoretically do not exist. Many of the Mayan books that were said to have been burned weren’t burned, but crated up and taken back to the Vatican as part of the payoff for the expedition and the slicing of the planet between the Spanish and the Portuguese by the pope of that time.” It took the team of mathematicians 5 months to get the Gregorian calendar to align specifically with the end of the Mayan calendar with these particular numbers: 11:11, because 11 is the number of mastery, and the 11:11 combined gives 22 which is their number for sainthood, or ascension.
The Mayan Calendar
Greg Prescott describes the calendar in the article, December 21, 2012: Where’s the Doomsday Proof? that the Mayan calendar is based on the Maya’s advanced knowledge of the cosmos and mathematics. To this day, their calendar can predict every lunar eclipse with 30 seconds or so. On the day their calendar ends, the Earth and Sun are aligned with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, an event that only occurs once every 26,000 years. Also on that day, we go into what’s called the precession of the equinoxes (Age of Aquarius – awakening), also an event that occurs once every 26,000 years. (Prescott).
The Mayan calendar is based on cycles of 5,125 years, so we’re not only at the end of one of these cycles; we’re also at the end of the 26,000-year cycle. The Mayan calendar is based on a system of base 20, rather then the base 10 decimal system we are using today. So to the Maya, 20 days (kin) equals a month (uinal); and 18 months (uinal) equals a year (tun). A year (tun), equals 360 days (kin). So, 20 years (tun) equals a Katun. A Katun equals 144,000 days (kin); and because of that, a Baktun is about 400 solar years (394.3 exactly). (usmonline).
The Mayans created several calendars, and the one that everybody’s talking about when they say Mayan Calendar December 21, 2012, is the long count calendar. The long count calendar describes the long-term rhythms of the universe. The Mayans see time like a river, and see changes in time as differences of tones, frequencies or even octaves, not just a hard measurement of something that never changes. It takes a long time for the calendar to go through one cycle. The shorter part is 5,000 years and the long part is 26,000 years, and this coincides with the galactic alignment that happens once every 26,000 years, and has 13 (moons) months, 360 days as opposed to the 365 days of the Gregorian calendar, and is more accurate than the 365 day Gregorian calendar. There was also a 584-day Venus cycle calendar that was used and maintained. Another Mayan calendar is an 819-day calendar that not much is known about because many of the records about it were destroyed. The Tzolkin calendar is a 260-day calendar with 20 specific days with specific names each month, of which there were 13 months (Wikipedia).
In the article, December 21, 2012: Where’s the Doomsday Proof? Greg Prescott questions where the proof is that something will happen? If you look at the lineage of mankind, there have been jumps in our evolution. This should be a red flag to anyone who studies evolution. Because there were no recorded documents at the times of evolutionary change, people dismiss the possibility of DNA upgrades because there are no tangible records of empirical data to support the theory. So, that leads us to the scientific approach of explanations. We’re told to believe that God created the Earth in seven days. If the world is going to rely on empirical data, then isn’t it possible that the bible is fiction? Is it possible that God is a fallen angel? And where did the words “ascended masters” come from? Just because the church and the bible tells us it’s the truth, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the truth. Because humans (as far as we know) weren’t in existence (or at least writing about these events) 26,000 years ago, we have no proof of what will happen.
J. Eric Thompson also determined that the first day of the Mayan calendar was on 3114-AUG-11 BCE, in the article, Mayans also had a “Great Cycle of the Long Count” of 13 Baktuns or 5,125.36 years. There are many books written about 2012-DEC-21. This appears to be a hoax generated by a group of authors who have combined the end of the world scenario found in the Abraham religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) with the Mayan belief in a cyclical, repeating universe. According to records left by the Mayan the only event expected on that day is the return of a god-man to Earth. (Mayan Elder Speaks: Appendix 2). There are hundreds of glyphs that predict various other events happening after the end of 2012. And besides, already there are too many hands in the pot thinking they have interpreted the codex.
The Earth’s Polarity
The pole shifthypothesis says that there have been geologically rapid shifts in certain locations of the poles and the axis of rotation of the Earth, creating calamities such as floods and tectonic events. No form of the hypothesis is accepted amongst the general scientific community. There is evidence of precession and changes in axial tilt, but this change is on much longer time-scales and does not involve relative motion of the spin axis with respect to the planet. However, in what is known as true polar wander, the solid Earth can rotate with respect to a fixed spin axis. Research shows that during the last 200 million years a total true polar wander of some 30° has occurred, but that no super-rapid shifts in the Earth’s pole were found during this period. A characteristic rate of true polar wander is 1° per million years or less. (Wikipedia).
According to the article about NASA, 2012 – A Scientific Reality Check, there are no credible predictions for worrisome astronomical events in 2012 because of the Mayan calendar. The activity of the sun is cyclical with a period of roughly 11 years and the time of the next solar maximum is predicted to occur in the period 2010 – 2012. For eons, the Earth routinely experiences these periods of increased solar activity without worrisome effects. The Earth’s magnetic field and particles from the sun, does reverse polarity about every 400,000 years but there is no evidence that a reversal will begin in 2012. Even if a magnetic field reversal were to begin, that would not affect the Earth’s rotation nor would it affect the direction of the Earth’s rotation axis.
    The only gravitational tugs experienced by the Earth are due to the moon and sun. There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, Earth will not cross the galactic plane in 2012, and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be unimportant. Each December the Earth and Sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is a yearly event of no consequence. For any claims of disaster or dramatic changes in 2012, the burden of proof is on the people making these claims. Where is the science? Where is the evidence? (NASA).
The Geological Survey of Canada measurement of the North Magnetic Pole says that it is moving northwestward. In 1996 it was at 78°35.7′N 104°11.9′W. In 2001 it was near Ellesmere Island in northern Canada at 81.3°N 110.8°W and in 2005 at 82.7°N 114.4°W, to the west of Ellesmere Island. It is moving toward Russia at between 34 and 37 mi (55-60 km) per year and if it maintains its present speed and direction it would reach Siberia in about 50 years. (Wikipedia). Every day, there’s an elliptical movement of the magnetic pole about 50 miles (80 kilometers) from its average center point. (world-mysteries).
Planetary Rhythms and Human Health
Gregg Braden, in The Earth’s “Heartbeat” and Zero Point, explains the Schumann Resonance (SR) as being Earth’s background base frequency, “heart beat,†of electromagnetic waves vibrating between the surface of Earth and the edge of the ionosphere, 55 kilometers up, during times of lightning activity, and vibrating at frequencies of 6 and 50 cycles per second. As long as Earth’s electromagnetic cavity remains about the same, the SR frequencies remain the same, but now we are seeing the earth’s “pulse†rate going up, and the strength of the magnetic field going down, because of the 11-year cycle of solar activity.
For thousands of years it has been at 7.8 cycles per second, and since 1980 shows a significant rise, and now it’s at about 12 cycles. It stops at 13 cycles (zero point). A Zero Point flip will allow us to go into the 4th dimension. Here, everything we think or desire will instantly manifest, including love and fear, so our intention will be very important. Most of our technology will not work, except for free energy. Our physical body will change as we approach Zero Point, our DNA being upgraded to 12 strand. A new light body is being created, and we are becoming more intuitive. The Mayan Calendar predicted all the changes that are occurring now. They say we are going beyond technology and back to the natural cycles of nature and the Universe. By 2012 we will have entered the 5th Dimension (after the flip to the 4th Dimension at Zero Point). Be prepared for changes that will bring in the new age of light as we are going beyond money and time where fear based concepts are totally dissolved. (Brayden).
Schumann Resonance
    In the article, The Schumann Resonances and Human Psychobiology, Lewis B. Hainsworth looked at the relationship of brain wave frequencies (Appendix 3) to the Schumann’s resonances (SR). Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are the bridge connecting solar system resonance and brain frequencies inside our DNA. Patterns of information are stored here, and all biological processes are a function of EMF interaction (Chakra, Appendix 4). So if we as electromagnetic human beings are not receiving, or resonating with an oscillator of identical resonant frequency, our biological situation will result in: stress related health conditions, mental disturbance, antisocial behavior, psychosomatic conditions, neurological conditions, lowered immune system, abnormal cell development, cancer, birth defects, infertility, and an increase in drug addiction, alcoholism, and even suicide.
Our body has its own mechanism of neuropeptide (amino acids) positive thought neuro programming (Candice Pert) and every thought in the human mind/brain sends out an electromagnetic wave (EM) from the base of the heart that has a measurable effect upon the world that we’re living in (McCraty). In meditation, when waves of alpha and theta rhythms flow across the entire brain, a resonance with natural rhythm between the human and planet occur, which gives us the power to control our thoughts and send out powerful love thoughts that have a huge affect on the resonance (rhythm) of the planet (Brayden). This is measurable and valid. Our heart is about 100 times stronger electrically, and up to 5,000 times magnetically, compared to our brain. This is a very important piece of information. All matter is simply vibrating sound waves, and sound creates form. Each thought sends a powerful wave of information that shapes the world around us. Thoughts from our heart (love) give us an abundance of powerful energy compared to the fear laden thoughts that have been encoded into our brain for years. (Braden). This was measurably demonstrated on August 16, 1987, with the Harmonic Convergence.
Harmonic Convergence
The Harmonic Convergence (1987) began the 25-year count down to the end of the Mayan long count (2012) and the beginning of a new 5,125-year cycle. It correlates to an alignment of planets in our solar system (Wikipedia) similar to the prediction in the Maya calendar for December 21, 2012. In the article by J. Arguelles (Appendix 5), Harmonic Convergence represents the end of the cycle and the beginning of a new age of universal peace. A major shift is about to occur; a turning point in Earth’s collective karma, and the energy is powerful enough to change the global perspective of man from one of war to one of peace. Evils of the modern world, like war, materialism, violence, abuses, injustice, and oppression would end with the birth of the 6th Sun and the 5th Earth on December 21, 2012.
HAARP
So if the Earth and ionosphere have been resonating at 7.8 for thousands of years, but now is way up almost to zero point, what on earth is the cause? Hainsworth and Becker (electromagnetic pollution expert) have been studying the relationship between brain wave rhythms and the spectrum of the natural earth extremely low frequency (ELF) signals. The electromagnetic pollution dangers don’t even compare to the threat of HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program). HAARP sends violent pulsations into the Earth’s ionosphere and can destroy the electromagnetic shield of the planet and kill every living thing on earth. (Hainsworth).
In the article by Michael Chossudovsky (University of Ottawa), H.A.A.R.P. (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program), also part of the (“Star Warsâ€) Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) is a weapon of mass destruction located in Gokoma, Alaska, that is capable of destroying this planet. It is a gigantic heater that can slice long incisions in the ionosphere (Bertell), and electromagnetic waves bounce back to earth and penetrate everything living and dead (Begich and Manning). In the article, Haarp: High-Frequency Vandalism in the Sky, Begich and Manning present validity of information backed by documents and research describing how HAARP could: boil the upper atmosphere; wipe out or specifically select communications in specific geographical locations; do earth penetrating tomography, spray electromagnetic waves (Chemtrails), change the weather, let loose electronic rain by sending out very low wave frequency; do mental manipulation on us using pulsed and harsh high frequencies making us function like bazombies, or much worse; they could short circuit the earth (Begich and Manning).
The New World Order
HAARP is part of the weapons arsenal of the (NWO) New World Order (Michael Chossudovsky) and the NWO is run by The Illuminati (Appendix 6) and goes back a long, long time in history. They share similar bloodline and call themselves ‘The Elite’, or ‘The Black Nobility’, and are in league with The Vatican, The Freemasons and other occult groups and secret societies. See who they are: http://www.masonicinfo.com/illuminati.htm . They could not have gotten where they are today without the help of their worldwide minions in the press (Ben Abraham: Appendix 7) and their goal is to create a one-world government (The New World Order which can be seen today in The United Nations and NATO) to control the world. (Illuminati News).
In the article from umsonline, The Illuminati New World Order (NWO) are secret societies behind the world’s governments, and the masses (you, me, us) are seen as chattels, animals to be controlled, manipulated, influenced, and used as they see fit. Our freedoms are gone and money is not what you think it is. It is fiat money, which means its value is dictated by the government, more specifically by the few private bankers who own the Federal Reserve Bank, and all the money, including the Bank of Canada (Kealey). Canada officials lie to create the illusion of democracy and sovereignty but who are criminally negligent with the North American Free Trade Agreement and the continuing actions of prominent Government officials. (Hicks). Canada is the largest and richest country in the world and we need to take our country back. (Kealey). All of this was designed this way on purpose by the NWO/Illuminati and affects every one of us on this planet. The economy is purposely devised to keep us in a situation where we must labor lots just to be able to meet basic needs (Sorrentino). World economies and paper currencies are set up for collapse purposely so that right about the time people start getting ahead, they lose everything. This trick was learned during the Roman era and utilized ever since by those in power, and keeps the master and the slave relationship going in the world while creating the illusion of freedom. (umsonline).
Data Analysis and Validity
Wikipedia has strong validity, provided their sources are unbiased. This site provides detailed information about the Mayan calendar, and the Gregorian calendar, with broad comparison of the two, regarding past and present culture, civilization, and politics. The law of time is explained and expands on the correlation of being in time with the universe and EMF, and in tune with the human body EMF. Wikipedia is a strong source for astrology, polar shift, EMF, Schumann’s Resonance, and position of the earth’s polarity. Validity is demonstrated when providing historical and present information of the New World Order and the Illuminati, and their mandate.
Hoagland and High give a valid common sense rationale when explaining the history of religion and politics. Prescott, usmonline, and Thompson explain the cycles of the universe, and how exact the Mayan calendar is to human existence on the planet Earth. When compared to articles from other sources validity is measured. Youtube is another good source of information and with large amount of hits on the topic. The sites by Kealey and Hicks are Canadian sites that are updated on a daily basis.
There is a large amount of data and validity with the topic of HAARP because the authors have years of scientific research and documents to prove their data (Chossudovsky, Begich and Manning). Government sites demonstrate weak validity because some of them haven’t been updated since 2009 and say that there haven’t been any polar shifts and there isn’t anything to worry about (NASA), contrary to numerous alternative sites and articles.
Summary
The Mayan Calendar delivers a message of hope. It is not the end of the world, but the end of the cycle. A new cycle begins with a better way of doing things in rhythm, at a higher octave like “sweet music to my earsâ€, peaceful, and more compassionate. The Mayans say that this could be a beautiful passage or something chaotic. It depends on how humanity handles it. You have a part to play in this change because you are part of the mass consciousness of humanity. It takes a very large amount of people to make the future change. Change is an aspect of love, so if more of us support a gentle transition (love) rather than a rough one (fear), then the shift around 2012 is not going to be as dramatic, and the completion of the cycle, 2012, and the galactic synchronization, the true Harmonic Convergence will not be complete until 2013. The 26-year cycle has been the free will zone of choice and decision, now we have to choose between a new age of peace, or all-out destruction. The decision is to accept the knowledge of the error in time (Gregorian) and to return to natural time (Mayan) using the Thirteen Moon/28-Day calendar. (Arguelles).
In conclusion, only 1% of the human population is happy with how things are because they are the ones who are in power and have all the wealth. The other 99% of the population is fed up and tired of living with lack of abundance, poverty, and lack of opportunities. The Illuminati have manipulated and tricked us for many years in their government, their religion and their society. This is not a world of freedom, and that has to change now. Prophecies are just predictions so outcomes can be changed. Humanity wants things to change, and because humanity wants change, that is what must happen. It’s the Law of the Universe and what the mass consciousness wants, the mass consciousness gets. Are you ready to stop supporting a totalitarian New World Order and get our sovereignty back? Planet Earth is all that is. Are you ready to live life with heart and love, and fully embrace your humanity?

Indigenous Native American Prophecy.
Floyd Red Crow Westerman.
Time evolves and comes to a place where it renews again there first and purification time their renewal time. [Katia inserts: Maybe there is a typo in that first sentence, or maybe it’s just me, but I don’t get it.] We are getting very close to this time now. We were told that we would see America come and go because they forgot the lessons on how to live on earth. It’s the Maya and Hopi belief and it’s our belief that if you aren’t spirituality connected with earth and understand the spiritual reality of how to live on earth it’s likely you will not make it. Everything is coming to a time where prophecy and man’s ability to live on earth in a spiritual way will come to a crossroad of great problems. When Columbus came, that’s what we call the first world war the first true world war because along with him came everybody from Europe. By the end of the 2nd world war we were an America of 800,000. From 60 million to 800,000. We were almost exterminated here in America.
Everything is spiritual. Everything has a spirit. Everything is brought here by the creator the one creator, some people call him God, some people call him Buddha, etc. We call him Grandfather. We’re here on earth only a few winters then we go to the spirit world. The spirit world is more real than most of us believe. The Spirit world is everything.
Over 95% of our body is water and in order to stay healthy you’ve got to drink good water. When the Europeans first came here with Columbus we could drink out of any river. If the Europeans had of lived the Indian way when they came we’d still be drinking our water because water is sacred. The air is sacred.
Our DNA is made of the same DNA as the tree. The tree breathes what we exhale. When the tree exhales, we need what the tree exhales, so we have a common destiny with the tree. We are all from the earth and when the earth, water, air is corrupted then it will create its own reaction. Mother is reacting. With the Maya prophecy they say the storms and floods will become greater. To me it’s not a negative thing to know that there’ll be great changes. It’s not negative. It’s evolution. When you look at it as evolution, it’s time. Nothing stays the same. Learn how to plant something. Treat all things as spirit. Realize that we are one family. It’s never something like the end. Just like life, there’s never an end to life.

APPENDIX 2
True Mayan Elder’s Prediction of 2012
To all my brothers and sisters who listen to this message.
First of all these words are not mine but words of my ancestors.
It is in the Mayan prophecy that in the time of the 12 Baktun and 13 Ahau, it is the return of the ancestors. It is the return of the men of wisdom.
Let the morning come. Let the dawn come.
So I am here with you giving you this message right now is not to be afraid and take this message and spread it to all the world.
………First of all, the Harmonic Convergence refers to the entire 26-year
cycle from White Galactic Wizard to Yellow Galactic Seed, 1987-2013. The
conclusion of the Ninth Hell refers to the release of humanity into the
26-year time zone of free will, choice and decision in preparation for
the completion of the cycle, 2012, and the galactic synchronization,
2013. The full and true Harmonic Convergence will not be complete until
the Earth itself becomes the Galactic Seed, 2013. If the 26 years are
the free will zone of choice and decision, what are we to choose and
decide? The choice is the „…choice between a new age&Mac226; and all-out
destruction… The decision is to accept the knowledge of the error in
time (12:60) and to return to natural time (13:20) by means of the
Thirteen Moon/28-Day calendar.
In principle, the Harmonic Convergence refers to the converging of all
aspects of reality in a great, all-unifying harmony. The initial moment
of the Harmonic Convergence, dawn of August 16, 1987, Blue Electric
Eagle, was pure prophetic enactment of being harmonically converged.
This moment demonstrated that indeed, Harmonic Convergence was possible.
The wave of unconscious energy released through the collective psyche of
the species as a result of this moment of prophetic purity reached a
climax with the fall of the Berlin wall and the end of the Cold War.
Early 1990, the role of the Harmonic Convergence in this process was
echoed in the mass media as the question, Did the Harmonic Convergence
bring the world closer to peace? Before the question could be answered,
the next phase of the prophetic end time began to unfold. Rather than
determine how to make the choice to enter a genuine new age, the human
race defaulted to an absolute materialism. It was this collective turn
taken by the planetary leadership, now known as the G-7, that engendered
the apocalypse we are now witnessing. In this turn, the Harmonic
Convergence was forgotten, deleted as it were from the official public
texts of contemporary history. The stage was thus set for the next
revelation, the Telektonon of Pacal Votan.
In distinguishing the Seven Years of Prophecy, 1993-2000, Magnetic
Seed-Resonant Wizard years, the Telektonon of Pacal Votan makes an
absolutely clear analysis of the human condition at this time: unless
the human race forsakes the false time governed by the instruments of
the Gregorian Calendar and the mechanical clock by the year 2000, then
it will face its own destruction, biospheric collapse and hell on Earth.
But if, by the year 2000, it can make the decision to reject the
calendar of the false 12:60 time and adopt the perfect instrument of the
natural 13:20 time, the Thirteen Moon/28-Day calendar, then humanity
will be able to make the choice of entering a new age. For the new age,
so longed for, is actually only realizable as a new time. A new time can
only come about by the rejection of the instrument that holds in place
the hallucination of the old time, replacing it instead with an
instrument of such perfect harmony, that it has no history, but is truly
post-historical.
For this the messengers of time were sent to warn the world of the
meaning of the time, and to offer to the world the opportunity of
changing its course by changing its calendar. When the year 2000 rolled
around, humanity remained unmoved. The Gregorian calendar, the Vatican
and the G-7 were as strong as ever. The prophecy did not fail, but
humanity did. So beginning with the Blue Galactic Storm year, thirteen
years after the White Galactic Wizard year, humanity was placed in
judgment. The four-year cycle, 2000-2004, was declared as the prophetic
cycle of the Harrowing of Hell. For having failed to take seriously its
messengers and prophets of all times, humanity was now to pass en masse
through hell. Since the Galactic Storm year completed a Seed-Storm Year
Bundle begun in the fifth year of prophecy, the judgment was withheld
until the Solar Seed Year, the second year of the Harrowing of Hell, but
the first year of the next Seed-Storm Year Bundle. In the Telektonon
Prophecy, verse 120, section 19, it is declared, When the Lunar Moon
has overflowed its banks, the G-7 will be no more. So it was on the
20th day of the Lunar Moon (Blue Self-existing Monkey, Galactic
Signature of Karl Marx), the Tower of Babel, the World Trade Center was
struck a fatal blow, while the Pentagon, magical structure of the
priests of the Dark Lords of Time, built in Hell&Mac226;s Bottom, Arlington,
Virginia, during the ninth hell cycle, was mortally penetrated.
It is still the time of the Harmonic Convergence. The Harrowing of Hell
represents the last cycle of respite for humanity. By 2004, Blue Crystal
Storm, humanity must make the „…choice between a new age&Mac226; and all-out
destruction… when it will have the last opportunity to make the
decision of rejecting the old time and calendar, replacing it altogether
with the instrument of perfect harmony, the Thirteen Moon/28-Day
calendar. Only such a harmonic organizing principle, universally
accepted, can assure a time of harmony and the fulfillment of the
Harmonic Convergence………..

APPENDIX 6
    New World Order Will Fail, Humanity Destined For Beautiful Future (unedited)
Don’t worry, the New World Order conspiracy is going away anyway, so it doesn’t need much attention because its days are numbered. The New World Order will give it the ol’ college try to remain in power and keep control, but they are dealing with forces that even they don’t understand and cannot override. There is no way to avert the plans of Godself, the natural cycles of the universe and consciousness itself, and the divine intention to pave the way for humanity’s continuing evolution into a more peaceful and benevolent future so that Godself can more easily self express through the experience of being human. The system that is in place now that holds that process back.
It is time for the old ways of being to go into the past as a distant memory that helps humanity learn from its mistakes and causes humanity to make better choices in the future. The mass consciousness has been manipulated and tricked into creating the reality it has created for itself by those who have positioned themselves in powerful places where they can manipulate the masses through government, religion and societal structure.
Now is a time for love, expressing compassion, and taking action to assist others in handling the challenges that are coming for humanity as it moves through this era of change and a challenge to shift its mass consciousness into creating something different for itself.
Don’t dwell on the darkness that the New World Order and all its folly represents. Yes, it is important to educate yourself about it, but don’t fixate on it or you will not have the time to prepare your consciousness, and maybe some practical matters too, before the time comes when humanity faces the reflection that it’s mass consciousness projection has created. You have more important things to do.
Simply educate yourself enough to know what it’s about so that you can assist others with handling the knowledge of it. We will give you the gist of the situation and the facts, and from there only the future can show what will unfold. You are not in danger from the New World Order if you are in aligned with the new paradigm that is coming. Humanity is destined for a far greater existence than the one that is planned by those who serve the old paradigm ways and have created this New World Order (NWO) plan.
Is The New World Order Conspiracy Real?
Yes, the Illuminati New World Order (NWO) conspiracy is for real. It is unfortunate, but true. It would be hard to believe that such an unsavory conspiracy that is so massive, so far reaching and so dark, has a strangle-hold on humanity’s very existence and its way of being.
If you are wondering if it can be true, read the quotes at the bottom of this page for the words from presidents and bankers themselves who profess its coming success and its reality. It has been a plan that has been in development for many generations, and the final chess moves are about to take place. These are the New World Order quotes from men who have been leading governments and economies for hundreds of years.
There are secret societies behind the world’s most powerful governments, and the masses are seen as “chattel,” animals to be controlled, manipulated, influenced, and used as they see fit. While you have enjoyed many freedoms in your life, you are not as free as you have thought you were, and the freedoms you have will be fully removed if the New World Order conspiracy has its way. It is not a conspiracy, really. It is an agenda that is put out in the open.
Honor Among Thieves
These leaders’ code of ethics is that they feel that they have to tell humanity what they are doing, and if the masses don’t understand or realize it, then they are free of the karma such wrong doings produce. What they have to do is trick humanity into creating these things for itself, and then there has been no interference with free will, the laws of duality have still been obeyed, and these people who serve darkness will be scott free of wrong doing. That’s the idea. Basically, they have to always tell the truth to the masses about what is going on, and if the masses don’t stop themselves from being misled, then it is humanity’s own fault that it created such a monstrous reality allowing those who would benefit from it to influence it into manifestation. This mass hypnosis is done through the media, news, religion, government and the economic situations.
There are many leaders especially in the United States and the European governments who have openly spoken about this plan for the world, in coded terms and not so coded terms. It has now come to the light of consciousness. These secret plans are not so secret anymore thanks to the internet and modern media. Again, feel free to read the words from the leaders themselves in the quotes below.
What Are the New World Order (NWO) Plans?
The New World Order is literally a take-over of human reality. This plan will cause humanity to devolve, not evolve. In order for humanity to evolve into higher consciousness levels of being, the New World Order and its creators must be removed from control of this reality. Human evolution has literally been held back by these secret rulers of the world for a long time now, and that time is coming to a close. influencing people and entities from positions of power over human reality and its very existence. Some people call it divine intervention. Where this assistance will come from, divine intervention or not, no one knows, but it will come if human consciousness decides it wants something different, en masse. That is all that humanity must do, and physical reality must rearrange itself to match what the mass consciousness is projecting. That is the law of the universe.
The idea of the New World Order is that there would be one world government, one world currency, and one world religion. It would be a system of total control and micro-managing of your reality. You would no longer be in charge of your own reality, even down to the point that you would have your future planned out for you by the government. That includes where you live, what you eat, what education you are allowed to pursue based on your genetics, your career path, whether you are allowed to reproduce and have children or not, and who you will be allowed to marry. These are some very dark endeavors, and in fact humans would no longer experience free thinking, free action, or freedom in their spiritual pursuits.
The New World Order is attempting to take advantage of a situation that is coming up in humanity’s future very soon and keep itself in power after the paradigm (belief) shift. Whether it happens around December 21, 2012 that the Mayan Calendar predicts has yet to be seen. The New World Order conspiracy knows (or plans to create them themselves) that impending cataclysms, celestial events, nuclear wars and plagues are going to happen so underground bunkers have been built, but only enough to house under 1 billion people. Most of the spots are for themselves, and there will be a few choice specimens of the human race chosen who are extremely smart scientifically and also the children they have already started to shape and influence as they grow up.
Of course, if you haven’t received your invitation to the underground bunkers you are not one of the people who have been selected to survive what is supposedly coming. Again, the cataclysms may be Earth changes or they may be man-made cataclysms, since the military establishments of the most powerful governments of the world do have the ability to create cataclysms through what is called HAARP technology, or at least the ability to make existing storms and disaster potentials greater. It is said that HAARP can trigger fault lines, volcanoes, hurricanes and tsunamis.
Here are the quotes about the New World Order:
“We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.” – David Rockefeller
“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.†– Abraham Lincoln, In a letter written to William Elkin
“Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.†– David Rockefeller, Memoirs, page 405
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years… It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” – David Rockefeller, Bilderberg Meeting, June 1991 Baden, Germany
“It is the system of nationalist individualism that has to go….We are living in the end of the sovereign states….In the great struggle to evoke a Westernized World Socialism, contemporary governments may vanish….Countless people…will hate the new world order….and will die protesting against it.” – H.G. Wells, in his book, “The New World Order†1940
“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.” – Strobe Talbot, President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State, Time Magazine, July 20th, l992
“We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands, because to impugn the sovereignty of the local nation states of the world is still a heresy for which a statesman or publicist can perhaps not quite be burned at the stake but certainly be ostracized or discredited.” – International Affairs(journal of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, i.e. the British version of the Council on Foreign Relations) Nov 1931, “The Trend of International Affairs Since the War”
“The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control…. Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent.” – Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets.

    Yes, Satan is a real entity. Demons are organized and he is the leader. He is a spirit.
They betray society. The Illuminati seek out and recruit the gifted, especially those with spiritual gifts. Typically, they will approach the talented with offers of fame and fortune and promises of high rank within their organization.
Satan himself has been known to personally make his offer to certain individuals. He does not have horns or a pointy tail. He is handsome, incredibly intelligent and charming. He is the father of all lies. Similarly, the New Testament records that Jesus had been approached by Satan and offered the kingdoms of the world, if he would bow and worship him. Jesus also alludes that they are organized with the statement “a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand”. This is a real experience, and few ever speak of it.They carefully place their intellectuals within universities. They teach not to educate, but to discredit morality and religion. They mislead youth by covering up or even falsifying science.
Some towns are dominated by Satanists; they are in city halls, police and fire departments. They are placed in the highest offices of politics, courtrooms and law, churches, medicine and psychology. They are not there to help. They are there to milk people of all the money they can, and close down any one who speaks out. They use ridicule and shame to detour people from truth. However, they have a weakness, they fear exposure and they quickly back away. TheIlluminati and Satanism are not based upon trust, but upon the fear of exposure of crimes they have participated in. None trust each other. In fact members generally envy and hate each other.
Generational Satanists ritually sexually abuse their own young children, filmed, and should the victim step out of line, these films are used to blackmail them.
When a certain governor endorsed a presidential candidate that was not the Illuminati’s choice, his use of expensive prostitutes was exposed in the national press. His life and career were deservedly ruined. Corrupt law enforcement will drop the charges.
Today you can’t get anywhere in politics unless they have dirt on you, in order to keep you under control. The Illuminati could not have gotten where they are today without the help of their worldwide minions in the press. When their Babylonian economic system fails (which is very soon) they will be the first at each other’s throats. They may even instigate World War III as high-ranking members are in the U.S., Chinese and Russian governments. Therefore I suggest that all of you prepare quickly. Get enough food to last a year or more. We that refuse to lift the sword against our brothers will have to separate ourselves physically from the ensuring chaos for our mutual benefit and survival.
Demons can posses us if we allow them, and they want to stop your progress at all cost. Demons can operate on the physical plane as well. They can make things go bump in the night, cause physical injury and illness. They come in different sizes, shapes and strengths. A powerful one can literally cause a stone building to shake to its foundations.
But demons have power over us only if we allow them. We allow them by feeding them with our own fear, guilt, shame, rage, greed, lust, or hunger for power; though we may not always be conscious of it. The media, vulgar TV programs, arguments and fighting also attract them into our own homes. To those rare few that can see them, most demons are hideous and deformed non-human entities. Through Hollywood, (Satan’s propaganda machine), our culture is now reflecting the same ugliness in our entertainment and arts.
The use of mind-altering drugs and alcohol debilitates us and enables them to gain control over us. This is why so many heinous crimes are committed while under the influence. Promiscuity will open us up to their influences in addition to adding and sharing the “Karmic’ burden of each sexual partner. That is why the promiscuous heap huge problems into their lives and suffer multiple health and emotional problems and age faster than the rest of us.
Getting rid of demons is not that difficult. Firmly invoking the name of Higher Power and can send them away. But if you do so with fear or anger they stay and laugh at you, so send them away with Love, not Fear. They feed off of your fear or rage and become stronger.

2012 is going to be a year of Wisdom for us here at the Esoteric Seminary and Ekklesia Epignostica. We’re about to add an encyclopedia-like compendium called something like Sophia’s Compendium: Judeo-Christian Mystery Teachings and World Esoterica.  There will be articles on everything from Western Mysteries, the Golden Dawn to mysticism, the Divine Feminine, esoterics of liturgy and the sacraments, Rosicrucian mysteries to the symbolism of pre-Abrahamic religions.
We toyed with other titles such as Sophia’s Whispers, and Encyclopedia of Esoterica, etc. Â If you have an opinion, chime in!
As soon as it is up and open for visitors, I will come back here and link directly to Sophia’s Compendium.

P.S. Happy New Year! Â You know, I hope 2012 isn’t Mayan Doomsday after all. I know people now say it means a “shift” not “the End.” But I was taught it means the End of the World back when I was a new student of esoterica in the early 1980’s.
This is really intriguing stuff — in ten years we will not stare at glowing screens on our computers or iPods or whatever  because special glasses will beam the information/screen/images directly onto our retinas. It’ll be just like Star Trek where you see holographic worlds and it feels like you’re really living it.  In just ten years! And then by 2030 they’ll be able to reprogram our genes like we reprogram our computers! No more fat cells, even cancer cells might be on their way out. — +Katia
TOP FUTURIST, RAY KURZWEIL, PREDICTS HOW TECHNOLOGY WILL CHANGE HUMANITY BY 2020
By Ray Kurzweil
New York Daily News
December 13, 2009
As we approach the end of the first decade of the new millennium, let’s consider what life will be like a decade hence. Changes in our lives from technology are moving faster and faster. The telephone took 50 years to reach a quarter of the U.S. population. Search engines, social networks and blogs have done that in just a few years time. Consider that Facebook started as a way for Harvard students to meet each other just six years ago; it now has 350 million users and counting.
Between now and 2020, the trend will continue, spreading cutting-edge technologies to every corner of the country and beginning to make innovations once consigned to the realm of science fiction real for millions of Americans. Specifically what can we expect? Solar power on steroids, longer lives, the chance to get rid of obesity once and for all, and portable computing devices that start becoming part of your body rather than being held in your hand.
What will drive all this accelerating change is precisely what has driven it this past half-century: the exponential growth in the power of information technology, which approximately doubles for the same cost every year. When I was an MIT undergraduate in 1965, we all shared a computer that took up half a building and cost tens of millions of dollars. The computer in my pocket today is a million times cheaper and a thousand times more powerful. That’s a billion-fold increase in the amount of computation per dollar since I was a student.
That incredible force — information technology that moves faster, then faster, then faster still — will power changes in every imaginable realm over the next decade.
Start with the basics. You’ve no doubt noticed that electronic gadgets are getting smaller and smaller; the iPod Shuffle holds 1,000 songs and weighs 0.38 ounces. Your phone is smaller than it was a few years ago and can do much more. By 2020, memory devices will be integrated into our clothing. And the very idea of a “smart phone†will begin to change. Rather than looking at a tiny screen, our glasses will beam images directly to our retinas, creating a high resolution virtual display that hovers in air.
That virtual display will be able to take over our entire visual field of view, putting us in a three-dimensional full immersion virtual reality environment. We’ll watch movies virtually and read virtual books. A lot of our personal and business meetings will take place in these 3D virtual worlds. The design of new virtual environments will be an art form. We’ll even have ways to touch one another virtually.
There are already beginning to be apps available for your iPhone or Android phone that allow you to look at a building and have the display superimpose what stores are inside it; Google Goggles, released last week, is the first free, widely-available version of such software. By 2020 we’ll routinely have pop ups in our visual field of view that give us background about the people and places that we’re looking at.
In other words, your memory will be constantly, instantaneously aided by the information available on the Internet. The two will begin to become indistinguishable.
How about energy? That doesn’t sound like an information technology. Fossil fuels, after all, are an early first industrial revolution, 19th century technology. But we are now applying nanotechnology — the science of essentially reprogramming matter at the level of molecules to create new materials and devices — to the design of renewable energy technologies such as solar energy. As a result, the cost per watt of solar energy is coming down rapidly and the total amount of solar energy is growing exponentially.
It has in fact been doubling every two years for the past 20 years and is now only eight doublings away from meeting all of the world’s energy needs.
When I shared this fact with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a few weeks ago, he asked, “but is there enough sunlight to double solar energy eight more times?†I responded that we have 10,000 times more sunlight than we need to do this. The prime minister announced an Israeli energy initiative the next day at the Israeli Presidential Conference based on our conversation, setting a 10-year goal to create the technologies to completely replace fossil fuels.
It’s not just the gadgets we carry around and the power we use to fuel our lives that are subject to what I call “the law of accelerating returns.â€
Health and medicine, which used to be a hit or miss process, has now become an information technology.
We now have the software of life (our genes) and the means of upgrading that software. How long do you go without updating the software on your cell phone? Not long: it does it itself every few days or weeks. Yet we are walking around with obsolete software in our bodies that evolved thousands of years ago. Within 10 years, that will change.
Already today, there are over a thousand projects to change our genes away from disease and toward health, not just in newborns but in mature individuals. The Human Genome Project, which has catalogued our genetic material, was itself a very good example of the law of accelerating returns; the amount of genetic data that is sequenced has doubled every year and the cost has come down by half every year. We can now design health interventions on computers and test them out on biological simulators. These technologies are doubling in power every year and will be a thousand times more powerful in a decade.
By 2020, we will have the means to program our biology away from disease and aging, and toward significant advances in our ability to treat major diseases such as heart disease and cancer — an approach that will be fully mature by 2030.
We won’t just be able to lengthen our lives; we’ll be able to improve our lifestyles. By 2020, we will be testing drugs that will turn off the fat insulin receptor gene that tells our fat cells to hold on to every calorie.
Holding on to every calorie was a good idea thousands of years ago when our genes evolved in the first place. Today it underlies an epidemic of obesity.
By 2030, we will have made major strides in our ability to remain alive and healthy — and young — for very long periods of time. At that time, we’ll be adding more than a year every year to our remaining life expectancy, so the sands of time will start running in instead of running out.
No, it’s not going to be an entirely brave new world. Some things will look pretty similar in 2020. We’ll still drive cars — although they will have the intelligence to avoid many accidents and self-driving cars will at least be experimented with. All-electric cars will be popular. And in cities, don’t expect subways or buses to go away.
But in more and more ways big and small, hang in there and we’ll all get to see the remarkable century ahead.

Kurzweil is former recipient of the MIT-Lemelson prize, the world’s largest for innovation, and in 1999 was awarded the National Medal of Technology. He is the author of the books “The Singularity is Near†and “The Age of Spiritual Machines.â€
We’re in the era of Woman. It’s Her turn now to design her own rituals, her own religion, interpret scriptures her way. “Feminist religion” they call it. Man controlled religion alone, cruelly excluded Woman from religion and ritual for thousands of years. That was the era of Man. We are just now at the beginning of the era of Woman. Perhaps 90 percent of earth is still in Man’s grip. Woman’s voice is finally being heard, myths and rituals are being revised, reinterpreted, even new ones created by Woman. But what about a time of Union? Wouldn’t it be lovely to reach the final stage of our evolution as a spiritual species? We’ve got to get thru this newly born era of Woman before we reach the era of Union, the 3rd and hopefully final era. So here we are, you, me, all of us, living when Woman has just barely gotten her Voice. It’s a great time to be alive, we are picking up momentum, the Sacred Feminine is taking off her veils.
But. Sigh. We’ve got a long way to go, “baby,” until we end up inventing and creating TOGETHER with our male teammates in the era of Union. Another thousand years?
It feels like the Dark Ages right before the Renaissance, yet it also feels like the beginning of the new Renaissance, the Woman Renaissance.
I have been reading the Flame Bearers by Kim Chernin (thank you Siobhan Houston for sending me this book!) and it’s triggered these kinds of ruminations and ponderings. I read this paragraph in an article about Jewish feminine spirituality:
“It is in the voices of women in the past three decades that we are discovering new disclosures of Torah in newly heard ways. Feminists are adding women’s points of view to the cornucopia of male-centered interpretations. Not only are they doing so in the area of exegesis, but also in the area of allegory and story-telling. E. M. Broner’s A Weave of Women, Kim Chernin’s The Flame Bearers, and Anita Diamont’s The Red Tent are examples of novels whose themes reflect revisioned fictional tales of Jewish women in the past, present, and future. These feminist stories empower contemporary Jewish [and Christian, in my opinion] women through their fictional rendering of Jewish heroines and their creative visions of meaningful Jewish women’s ceremonies and ritual all within the context of Jewish tradition and Torah narrative.” http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/summary_0199-5713388_ITM
After reading the above I was struck with the idea that we’ve got a three era situation, but it isn’t Father, Son and Holy Spirit, like that Catholic mystic (what’s his name?) predicted. Rather it’s Man, Woman and Both; the latter of which I later thought would be better titled Union. [Added in: the Catholic mystic is Joachim of Fiore, just remembered!]
How long O Lord, O Lady, How long before we reach Union? We can’t heal the wasteland, can’t heal the nations, the earth, until we get both halves of the human race as equal participators in spirituality. At least we’re getting the world literate. Although I’ve read on the UN’s website we’ve got a long way to go there, too. Some of ’em gotta go thru the masculine era for how many centuries I wonder, before they can even accept the Sacred Feminine. Then it’s on to Union….
I’m hangin’ in there. How about you? (No sighing allowed).
I just read this article, “To this question, the answer would be a Revelation” in the L.A. Times:
EXCERPT
In Revelation, John…describes…a punishing vision of the plagues, famine, earthquakes and Satanic armies that will set the stage for Judgment Day.
Essentially, the plot goes like this: Billions of people perish in seven years of natural disasters and plagues, an antichrist arises to rule the world, the battle of Armageddon erupts north of Israel, Jesus returns to defeat Satan’s armies and preside over Judgment Day.
—————–
I was raised in a church that had frequent End Time seminars and sermons. Used to scare us children to death. Too many preachers get frothy at the mouth over this topic.
Still, I think there is something to end time prophecy, and the Apocalypse study (eschatology) is downright intriguing.
Armageddon is located in a real place called the Jezreel valley in northern Israel. In ancient history this great plain (20 miles wide) was a place of many many epic battles, a crossroads of war. Lord of the Rings type battles took place there and it was famous to ancient people. Perhaps a final conflict of sorts will take place on that piece of land.  But the thought occurs, maybe the entire Middle East — or at least all the area from Lebanon to Sinai — could become the “new Armageddon” geographical location. So those “satanic armies” and the final battle could take place in the Middle East not necessarily on the relatively small Jezreel plain in northern Israel.
Then there is Iran.  According to Nostradamus, the anti-christ is supposed to appear at the end of the world, some time after the year 2000, and wearing a blue turban. Haven’t seen any blue turbans on Iranian leaders. I wonder if the blue turban is symbolic — or ugh! – means the blue UN helmets! Those Left Behind author dudes and countless other end time fear-mongers always say the anti-christ will be a UN leader or somehow connected to the UN. Not sure I agree, but don’t like how the pieces too easily fit together and come out like an epic movie, comic book and interactive video game all rolled into one.
