May 2004
A great deal has been written about the end times and December 21, 2012, the date the Mayan sacred calendar inexplicably comes to an abrupt end. And there is good reason for doing so.
The Maya mysteriously appeared out of the mist some 4,000 years ago. To this day, no one knows where those ancient people came from. Nor do we know where they suddenly disappeared to around 800 A.D. Nevertheless, their artifacts tell us in no uncertain terms that they were master astronomers with an intimate knowledge of the heavens. And they were obsessed with recording cycles of cosmic time.
The Maya described five different ages that existed in the distant past, each lasting some 5,125 years. They have also told us that all of those ages ended in physical cataclysm. Then, with the start of each new era, the evolution of mankind would begin again from the seeds of the survivors left behind.
According to the Maya, the fifth and final age began approximately 5,125 years ago. As far as we can tell, the flow of calendric time through the previous four ages continued uninterrupted from cleansing to cleansing. One has to wonder why their calendar, constructed more than two thousand years ago, mysteriously ended with the fifth age at "zero point," on the winter solstice of 2012? Is there no next age?
Equally compelling is that almost one thousand years ago, in another part of the world far from the Maya, an Indian yogi named Somanatha brought the Wheel of Time (Kalachakra) to Tibet. Soon thereafter, the first incarnate lama, Karmapa, added refinements to the Wheel's dates. The Wheel contains a profound prophecy. It tells us that 960 years after its introduction in Tibet in 1027 A.D., the end of time would come 25 years thereafter. Adding 960 to 1027 brings us to the year 1987. Add the remaining 25 years to this date and one arrives at 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar!
It doesn't stop there. The Hopi, whose name means "people of peace," have sacred traditions that go back thousands of years. Their time-honored teachings point to certain prophecies that would manifest just before a great purification takes place on planet Earth. It would be a time when the world would shudder and tremble causing much destruction, in order to cleanse the planet of the karmic negativity we have created while serving as its caretakers. Not too long ago, the Hopis said that those prophecies have now completed. It appears that the time for purification is upon us, as we approach 2012.
The Hopi's friends, the Peruvian shamans, have recently come forward to tell us that sometime between the years 2002 to 2012 the world will be shaken and transformed in ways that will be difficult to comprehend. It will be a time in which our reality will be turned inside out, upside down and completely restructured. These same shamans also say that something very profound will occur this time around, with a possible break occurring between spiritually awakened individuals and those who are not.
Similar end time prophecies can be found in many Eastern and Western religious teachings, in various channeled messages given to individuals by other worldly sources, as well as in the lore of different native cultures and esoteric texts.
Many of these prophecies describe the return of Christ for the final judgment. Some point to financial collapse or even WWIII that will usher in the end of days. Others speak of a massive shift in human awareness, in which our old ways of thinking will end, as we birth the emerging Age of Aquarius with a new collective consciousness.
And there is another intriguing message of hope that Benjamin Crème has brought to millions of people around the world for the past thirty years. After careful study, I have to admit it deserves open-minded consideration. He tells us that Maitreya the Christ, as the World Teacher, has been physically with us since 1971 and that He is about to announce His presence to one and all. Then, assisted by the Masters of Wisdom, He will guide humanity out of the present mess we've created and work with us to build an entirely new civilization.
What raises the eyebrows is that a vast majority of these prophetic messages, some of which predate current time, are converging at this moment in human destiny. Admittedly, not all agree on the details. However, they all appear to be saying the same thing. Something big is coming. And there is reason to believe that this is so.
In his best selling book, Fingerprints of the Gods, Graham Hancock conducted an exhaustive investigation into mankind's remote past. This effort took him all over the world from the Great Sphinx, to the Hopis, to the Andean ruins and to the monuments of many ancient civilizations, including the Maya. Hancock believes that within the records and monuments of these ancient civilizations there is an important message for us. He concludes that in our distant past there were others who were very advanced technologically, but not spiritually, such as the Atlanteans. This imbalance led to their demise. The "fingerprints" of information that our ancestors left for us to discover and contemplate warn of terrible Earth changes that periodically afflict our planetary home. And the end of another cycle appears to be upon us.
Throughout the ages, Masters and other adepts were sent to planet Earth to help us find our way. While here they realized that the flow of time in our material world was not linear but cyclic. Sacred Hindu teachings, passed down to humanity for thousands of years, tell us the same thing. This ancient knowledge was based upon the most important cycle of Earthly time called the Great Year or Maha Yuga. It consists of 25,920 years and is said to have a profound influence on the destiny of mankind. The Great Year results from the phenomenon known as precession that is caused by the slow wobble of planet Earth as it rotates on its axis. It takes 25,920 years to complete one turn of the wobble.
In variance with the Mayan calendar, the Hindu teachings describe how the Great Year is made up of four ages, or Yugas, each approximately 6,480 years in length (either way, both the Mayan calendar and Hindu wisdom agree that we are now at the extreme end of the Great cycle). Based upon the Yuga count, we are living out the final moments of the fourth age, the Kali Yuga or Iron Age. And we are told that such an ending will have profound implications for our cosmic evolution.

Based upon the Yuga count, we are living out the final moments of the fourth age, the Kali Yuga or Iron Age. And we are told that such an ending will have profound implications for our cosmic evolution.
I recently read a book called The Mysteries of the Great Cross of Hendaye by Jay Weidner and Vincent Bridges that continued to bring the end times into further focus for me. One has to be a bit diligent and studious while reading certain parts of the book, but the rewards are worth the effort.
According to the authors, an extraordinary message was carved into the mysterious cross at Hendaye, discovered in a churchyard in the south of France. It's significance flows forward from the ancient Egyptian mystery schools, the secret knowledge of alchemy, Gnosticism, the Kabbalah, Sufism and mystical Christianity. The authors conclude that whoever carved the celestial alignments and inscriptions on this cross several centuries ago had a profound knowledge of the universe.
The body of information encoded within the cross' message deals with the end times, the 25,920-year cycle and may very well be linked to the age of Atlantis. Most importantly, the celestial alignments on the cross clearly show that it is a marker stone for a future cleansing that will occur sometime between the years 1992 and 2012.
The authors of the Hendaye cross book have fitted together the pieces of an alchemical puzzle that does not depend upon prophesy. Rather, they point to specific celestial alignments and inscriptions embedded in the cross' messages that connect to serious Earth changes. In fact, the next cleansing, coinciding with the general time period of 2012, may have already begun.
And just exactly what is coming? According to the Henday cross book, a mysterious alchemist named Fulcanelli left humanity certain teachings during the 1900s. He appears to be the end of an alchemical lineage that goes back some 6000 years, which included, among many others, Hermes, Isis, Leonardo DaVinci, Sir Isaac Newtown, Carl Jung and JRR Tolkien, the author of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He tells us that based upon the cross' encoded message the northern hemisphere of planet Earth will be tried by fire, as a result of a double catastrophe. Furthermore, the cause of this catastrophic cleansing will originate from an off-earth source.
The authors of this book also cite recent scientific evidence to suggest that the periodic cataclysms afflicting our planet can be traced to explosive bursts of incomprehensible energy that periodically discharge from the center of our galaxy. In some esoteric writings the galactic core has been referred to as the Central Sun, which emits rays of divine influence that guide the evolution of our galaxy and all who inhabit it.
The enormous outbursts of light energy that come from the galactic core appear to be in sync with different stages of the 25,920-year cycle. For example, the last significant change that overtook planet Earth occurred approximately 13,000 years ago, halfway through the great cycle. At that time, the last Ice Age ended with catastrophic flooding, and, as some suggest, massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and perhaps a violent displacement of the Earth's crust resulting in a pole shift.
Interestingly, recent scientific evidence published by Dr. Paul LaViolette proposes that a massive burst of super wave energy was released from the galactic core approximately 13,000 years ago. Keep in mind that the pendulum of the Great Year has now swung all the way to its opposite side, as we enter the final days of the 25,920-year cycle.
Ancient wisdom tells us that the Great Year is a function of God's cosmic clock, which creates constant change and opportunities for our growth and evolution. In unison with other cycles, it gives rise to the natural, rhythmic flow of birth and death that affects the disappearance and reappearance of Earth changes, lunar cycles, the four seasons, and the phases of our own lives. The Maya and others are telling us that the hands of cosmic time are once again striking twelve for mankind. As such, a transition has begun that will give birth to a divinely inspired, quantum leap in human experience.
Will anyone survive the cleansing that may soon be upon us? Fulcanelli and others say that only spiritually awakened souls will remain after the coming changes. And those souls will form the seeds of future generations who will usher in and sanctify the coming Golden Age. Related teachings indicate that in the process of separating the wheat from the chaff the spiritually aware will be brought into a higher realm of existence. The remainder of humanity would continue to awaken to their divine nature through another 25,920-year cycle in the current 3rd dimension until they are ready to "graduate."
How quickly will these changes occur? Some say in the blink of an eye. Others suggest it will begin shortly and take centuries or longer to complete.
Taken together, this kind of information is a lot for the human mind to bear. What are we to make of all these messages? Can this really be the end of time? Will all of this end-of-days hoopla be just another doomsday scenario that passes us by in a whimper?
I for one believe that an old cycle of human history is indeed coming to an end so that something new can be born. I also feel it will be coupled with a cleansing. How much upheaval occurs and to what degree it challenges our everyday lives remains to be seen. The reason is that the future is fluid and will be defined by the individual and collective choices we are making today. Either way, I feel we are in the early stages of profound change that will intensify as we head toward the year 2012 and continue thereafter.
I base my feelings on two unmistakable warning signs that are difficult to ignore because both exist for all to see: (1) the relentless destruction of our environment, and, (2) the rampant end-of-the-Iron-Age symptoms, which are now apparent throughout the far reaches of this once magnificent planet.
Clearly, we have maxed out our global home. Earth Mother cannot replenish her resources fast enough to satisfy our collective greed. The environment is almost at the point of irreversible destruction. I would guess that we have a window of twenty years or so before this happens.
Add to the above the recent Pentagon report of rapid climate change that could occur over the next twenty years due to global warming and we have the ingredients for climate disaster and planetary chaos. Throw in global dimming, changes in the ocean currents, which have already been reported, rapidly retreating glaciers, rampant greed, wars, deception, attempts at global domination by powerful countries, unending materialism and self-gratification and the end result only intensifies.
Sadly, it is a time when far too many of us know more about the Sopranos, our gas-guzzling SUVs, Britney Spears and our financial portfolios than we do about our own souls.

They are difficult to ignore because both exist for all to see: (1) the relentless destruction of our environment, and, (2) the rampant end-of-the-Iron-Age symptoms, which are now apparent throughout the far reaches of this once magnificent planet.
For sure, there are occasional signs that higher choices are being made today for the betterment of mankind and the well being of our planet. However, baring a major miracle that can occur at any time, I see nothing tangible enough to suddenly tip the scales of humanity 's collective consciousness towards God-centeredness, love, harmony, peace, justice and sharing and away from the current madness. And that is exactly what it will take before the rapidly closing window of opportunity to advance the human spirit closes around us.
Ancient lore says that Atlantis was destroyed because technology became God and relatively few Atlanteans were spiritually aware and living their truth. Humanity didn't learn how to balance and harmonize the two for the greater good back then. It seems we are making the same mistake again.
"When all the trees have been cut down,
When all the animals have been hunted,
When all the air is unsafe to breathe,
Only then will you discover that you
cannot eat money"

Boy, the people who created that crop circle SHOULD quit their day jobs and go into the graphic design field. But then, that's probly exactly their real vocation. Taking the time to make a crop circle like that implies a lot of dedication and planning. My hat is off to them.

How do you know if that crop circle was made by "people"?
PROOF please?
Otherwise...you are speaking only in CONJECTURE.
Ummm..
Judging by your posts here thus far..the majority of us already know your opinion on crop circles and other unexplained phenomena.
If you are here just to say..."You're all a bunch of kooks" type remarks...you wont last long here. I guarantee it.

Cutlass and Crateris are just more proof that simple minds seek simple answers. |

Some of you would be well advised to refer to Occam's Razor. It might help "simplify" things.
How about some PROOF that crop circles are NOT made by people? There is not one shred of evidence that they were made by anything BUT people. And no, I don't believe any of the "evidence" pointed out by crop circle "researchers". They start out with the premise that crop circles are made by aliens or cosmic vortices and the like. Those who start out with a stated premise and goal are predisposed to find "evidence" to support that end.

I was refering to YOU.
YOU are already convinced that crop circles are "made by people".
Some of here...believe OTHERWISE...no matter what the"respectable" ESTABLISHMENT COMMUNITY throws at us to convince us otherwise.
Please respect that. |

Shoot! Why wait? This guy is serving absolutely no purpose here.
On some of the issues that I know less about (crop circles, ET's, etc) I keep pretty quiet and try to learn something. Not dismiss it and ridicule it.

I never said anyone was a kook. And I never used the tone of voice that I am getting from some of you. All I am trying to do is point out that there are much more plausible causes for the things that many are making out to be something less than probable. To make airplane contrails to be a part of some huge conspiracy and to interpret crop circles and the like as alien visitations is to take a leap from probability and reason to conjecture and fantasy. Carl Sagan's book, A Candle In The Dark illuminates the folly of constructing a truth from fantasy and superstition instead of looking for the real truth.

Ummmm...
I have MOST of Carl Sagans books...including "The Demon Haunted World" which you refer to. It's NOT called "Candle in the dark" by the way.
SAGAN DOES NOT have all the answers....nor does present Science.
Quantum Physics looks promising.
Like I said..just because the "ELITE says so...." doesnt neccessarily mean its the truth.
Elites tend to have their own agenda.
Things are NOT just black and white. |

Thank you for correcting me. The darned thing was 6' behind me in my bookshelf, didn't think to look at it. However, having a book isn't the same as reading. You should try the latter.

Very good picture!(that guy is really happy, isn't he?..LOL)
