2011 and 2012

2011 and 2012
two end-dates
I have a dream that the New Earth will have rapturists, and they'll vastly outnumber the terrorists. The rapturists will be performance artists with a conscience . . . charismatic improvisers who love to spring fun surprises. They'll commit unexpected interventions and unscheduled spectacles that delight hordes of strangers. - Rob Brezsny
To write about the Mayan Calendar is not easy. To have a full command of this vast subject (with conflicting reports coming from different sources) is a tall order. But somehow I seem to find myself trying to grapple with it. The only way to begin such a task is to become a ridiculously chutzpah'd rapturist, at least for a few moments. So, here are a few of the concepts that I think are important regarding the Mayan Calendar. With this humble attempt I hope to illuminate part of the meaning of the 7th Day.
First, we need to address the subject of the two end-dates of the Mayan Calendar that are being discussed in Western culture right now. During the Classical Era - c. 250 CE to 900 CE (the height of the Mayan culture) - mind-boggling time calculations were calculated by Mayan calendric wizards that far surpass any time calculations in modern times (and they worked without computers or telescopes). These Mayan Time-Shamans calculated eclipses in our current day to within minutes of accuracy. They built pyramids that were encoded with their astronomical knowledge of time and time cycles. To this day, there are Day Keepers in the hills of Guatemala who keep the ancient count of days stretching back thousands of years.
One of the key concepts of the Mayan Calendar is known as The Long Count. The Long Count began on August 11, 3114 BC (some scholars say August 13th) and it will end on December 21, 2012. The beginning of the Long Count ushered in the historical era (when we began keeping written records), the rise and fall of empires, the development of civilization, the building of cities, and the flourishing of cultures.
With the development of the Long Count, the Mayan Time Shamans looked ahead into the future and calculated that the Earth would align with the Galactic Center on December 21, 2012. (Modern science tells us the exact alignment occurred in 1998, but when you consider the length of time within which they were calculating, they were really only about 15 minutes off:)They ended their calendar, which spanned thousands of years, on this date - December 21, 2012. It was kind of strange to have a calendar END all of sudden; and so many people have projected Armageddon-like ideas onto what 2012 means. I won't go into that here. I just want to point out that the 2012 end-date of the Mayan Calendar is steeped in an esteemed heritage, based on centuries of indigenous caretaking. It cannot be ignored.
The other end-date currently debated in the Western world is the end-date proposed by Carl Calleman, a Swedish scientist. Barbara Hand Clow - a Cherokee Elder, brilliant astrologer, and one of my beloved teachers - has stated that she believes Calleman 'broke the code' of the Mayan Calendar.
Calleman has calculated an end-date for the Mayan Calendar of October 28, 2011. I will describe his theories in some detail in the next section of this newsletter. There is some contention between the various Mayan end-date scholars concerning Calleman's "audacity" in changing the end-date. He is after all from SWEDEN (i.e. not indigenous). His system has much validity, however; and if you have any curiosity about this subject you may want to research the debate further.
As for me, I embrace both end-dates; they both have significance. For me, the 2011 end-date has more to do with the mapped-out evolution of consciousness as described below; and the 2012 end-date has more to do with an epochal celestial alignment with the Galactic Center - that signals the Turning of the Ages and the end of a 26,000-year cycle. Both are valid, and I am ok honoring both of them. Walking that polarity tight-rope - which seems to be what we are all asked to do in all areas lately.
Carl Calleman's Theory
time-wave thoughts & time-compression
from the mind of god
The mind-boggling events triggered by the culmination of the Mayan Calendar Underworlds make it hard to think clearly because of rapid time acceleration. - Barbara Hand Clow
Every 18 months for the last decade, the world has doubled the data it pushes to you. Twice as much email, twice as many friend requests, twice as many sites to check, twice as many devices. When does your mind lose the ability to keep up? Then what happens? Is it already happening? - Seth Godin
It feels like we are literally having the fear squeezed out of us. That makes sense because we don't want to take it with us past 2012. - author unknown
This section contains information from Carl Calleman's theories, either articulated by Calleman himself, or explained by Ian Lungold or Barbara Hand Clow (both of whom are proponents of Calleman's system). This information is not the traditional indigenous Mayan perspective, which espouses the 2012 end-date (taught in many books by the brilliant lifelong Mayan scholar, John Major Jenkins). As I mentioned above, the 2012 end-date has been held in consciousness and Truth for thousands of years and I recommend that you hold it in the same way, while also exploring the radical and controversial new system proposed by Carl Calleman.
The Mayans were obsessed with time and lived in a Universe of Holy Time. Their calculations of time were based on a "divine year" of 360 days, not the 365.25-day cycle of the Gregorian calendar. (The Egyptians and other spiritually advanced ancient cultures also used the 360-day calendar to tune into Sacred Time.)
Calleman says that the Mayan Calendar is a chronology of the emergence of Divine Light within the entire galaxy, which - of course - includes humanity. He says that the Mayan Calendar describes a process of creation from a time when no solar systems or even galaxies existed. This is Holy Time, not mechanical time or even astronomical/astrological time (which we track from our perspective here on earth). Calleman says that the Mayan Calendar applies to the evolution of all life in this galaxy, not just to the evolution of life on earth.
There is a Stele (carved rock) in the Mayan city of Coba which contains a long list of dates. Understanding this Stele holds the key to the meaning of the Mayan Calendar. Calleman, a biologist by training, looked at the dates (the ones that were labeled by the Maya) and realized that they corresponded almost exactly with the known (i.e. modern scientific dating of the) evolution of the universe - dating back to the Big Bang 16.4 billion years ago.
BTW - Here's something mind-blowing: the stele includes even longer periods of time. It has dates that are not labeled which extend up to a million billion times of the known age of the universe! The Mayans truly were time-travelers.
But what caught Calleman's attention with the stele was the 'coincident' similarity between the labeled dates on the stele and the scientific dating of the various stages of evolution: Cellular, Mammalian, Familial, Tribal, Regional, National, Planetary, Galactic, Universal. Calleman calls these the 9 Underworlds. We are currently in the Galactic Underworld, which began on January 4, 1999 and lasts for 12.8 years. We are only one 'cycle' away from the final Underworld, the Universal which begins in March 2011 and lasts only 260 days.
THE 9 UNDERWORLDS
Cellular - 16.4 billion Years Ago - Matter/Big Bang
Mammalian - 850 Million Years Ago - First Animals
Familial - 40 million Years Ago - First Primates
Tribal - 2 million Years Ago - First Humans
Regional - 100,000 BCE - Spoken Language
National - 3100 BCE - lasted 5125 Yrs - Written Language
Planetary - 1769 CE - lasted 256 Yrs - Industrialism
Galactic - Jan 4, 1999 - lasts 12.8 Yrs - Internet & Ethics
Universal - March 9, 2011 - lasts 260 days - Conscious Co-Creation
Ian Lungold writes, "This pattern does have an acceleration built into it. Each cycle of Creation contains the same amount of advancement and change but each cycle runs 20x faster." We are currently in the 8th period of Galactic Consciousness. The same amount of change that happened in 1.26 billion years of the Cellular cycle now occurs in 12.8 years in our current cycle which began in January 1999. The previous Planetary Consciousness period was 254 years long. A lot of us resonate with this concept of extraordinary time -acceleration and compression.
Here are two videos that demonstrate the acceleration of time in our world today:

The Quickening
an emergency
It's important not to stay in a state of fear, but to see that the current prevailing disillusion is necessary, so that a new structure can come into being. - Eckhardt Tolle
The arrival at each new level of the Mayan Calendar is an 'emergency'. Each bump up is a radical change in our brains with the cumulative effect that basically we have no idea what's going on. - Barbara Hand Clow
There is a new frequency that is pulling us forward from the future. - Lloydine Arguilles
The Mayan Calendar is 'the Time of the invisible universe' not of anything physical - including the sun, the planets or even the stars (as tracked by astrology). Astronomical physical bodies explain cyclical repeating phenomenon, not continual ascending evolution. This Holy Time pulses from 'The One Reality' and, according to Calleman, we are scheduled to 'arrive' at full enlightened consciousness on October 28, 2011. This will be "a return to the Dreamtime" a perfect balance of polarities - within our brains, within our society, within the planet (the Global Brain) and in the galaxy itself. He writes, "only the divine reality is real, eternal; the material world is but an illusion."
The Mayan system of tracking time differs from the other systems in that it is not based on astronomical cycles in our local solar system, but on cosmic energies emanating from the Tree of Life." In other words the Mayan system of tracking time is sourced at a Galactic level - pulses of light issue from the Galactic Center which create evolution on earth (and all planets in this galaxy) and also create waves of time. These cycles are bigger, more universal than the astronomical cycles we astrologers follow based on the cyclical nature of our 'local neighborhood' - the solar system revolving around our star, the sun.
Note: For an explanation of the different types of calendars (and thus different streams of time) available to us, see my previous newsletter on the subject of Sacred Time: http://tinyurl.com/5955oa (scroll down to the bottom for the article)
Calleman created a 9-level pyramid model for the quickening cycles of time within the Mayan Calendar. Within each of the 9 levels - known as underworlds - a cycle of 7 DAYS and 6 NIGHTS occurs. 6 Days plus 7 nights = 13 heavens. Each Day or Night is "a consciousness package," an infusion of Light into humans which creates a steady progression to higher dimensions of consciousness. This in turn causes all humans to evolve into beings with multi-dimensional consciousness.
The 13 Heavens - step-by-step - lead to the emergence of a brain increasingly better equipped to receive information from the Cosmos. We see human creativity during the Days alternating with internal change and integration during the Nights. At the beginning of each DAY, beings with significantly more developed brains emerge, sometimes quite suddenly. One might say that each new Heaven is a new Thought from the Mind of God.
Mayan teacher Ian Lungold provided a 'by-line' or label to describe each of the Days and Nights of the Mayan Calendar. I find these labels to be quite accurate. For instance, for the 5th Night (Nov. 19, 2007 - Nov. 12, 2008) he used the by-line THE END OF MANUFACTURED LACK. It was during this time (on September 15, 2008) that the economy collapsed. We are still living in manufactured lack (due to the money-printing by the Fed, the corrupt banking system and our hysterical amounts of debt here in the U.S.). But the death-knell has been sounded.
For the 6th Day (Nov. 13, 2008 - Nov. 7, 2009), Mr. Lungold applied this label: CONSCIOUSNESS SURPASSES TECHNOLOGY. I believe that the explosion of social media during this time - especial FACEBOOK which encompasses enormous numbers of 'ordinary people' in a way that myspace or twitter and other social media outlets never have. It was during that time - in my life at least - that I seemed to suddenly be connecting with family, friends from all 'eras' of my life, and even highschool cohorts. We were connecting on the level of consciousness, giving a new meaning to how I related. It was surprisingly inclusive and loving. The technology was a useful tool, but what really happened was a closeness in mind and heart that was unprecedented in my life. Here is a video with some stats on how social media is changing our consciousness:
THE SOCIAL MEDIA REVOLUTION: http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=sIFYPQjYhv8
Ian Lungold says that as we progress up the pyramid "the deck is stacked" for more and more Light, more and more expanded brain capacity, and more and more higher consciousness. Creation is on our side and, as I quote Calleman below, the Beast of Materialism cannot prevail.
During all of the shifts and escalations of the pyramid, we have been waiting for the 7th Day (which begins this week on November 3, 2010) as this is the time that the full flower of consciousness is possible. The first buds, it is said, emerged during the 5th Day. So when we look back over the cycle we can see that what emerged during the 5th Day (November 24, 2006 - November 18, 2007) will be seen as the pivotal evolutionary developments from the perspective of the 7th Day. This is a good time to think back to the time period of November 24, 2006 to November 18, 2007 to see what emerged then and how it is now reaching fuller evolution.
The 7th Day
balancing hemispheres
masc/fem ~ east/west
Eastern brains are different from Western brains http://bit.ly/9PKZgf
The Human Race is a two-winged bird. One wing is female; the other is male. Unless both wings are equally developed, the human race will not be able to fly. - author unknown
On November 3, 2010 the 7th Day of the Mayan Calendar (according to Carl Calleman's system) begins. The 7th Day is the pinnacle of development for the Galactic Underworld, i.e. the form of consciousness that has been evolving since January 3, 1999. (Note: on March 9, 2011 we will start the final capstone on the pyramid, the culmination - known as the Universal Underworld -which lasts for only 260 days, ending on October 28, 2011. More about that in a future newsletter.)
And so, at this moment in time, all over the world people are planning gatherings to celebrate the beginning of the 7th Day of the Eighth wave (Galactic Underworld) on the days November 3-7. The background of these events will be the balancing and unification of East and West, Intuition and Rationality and maybe most importantly Feminine and Masculine. The Cosmos is inviting us all to align with this shift. (For more information on the global celebration of the beginning of the 7th Day, go to this FB page: http://on.fb.me/auno2b)
World dominance from the western hemisphere is coming to an end as a part of the evolutionary process ending now. Looking for abstract value (computer, digits, money on paper) will come to an end. A whole new context for the economy will emerge. The new world will not be driven by this kind of abstract value; it has to be based on the needs of the people.
The Eastern hemisphere of the planet (i.e. the right hemisphere of the Global Brain) is now being stimulated. As a result, the inspiration of the Galactic Underworld will LITERALLY come from the East (the Eastern hemisphere of the globe) - i.e. from India and China for example. And it will come from women. Many of our most profound teachings (and lessons) will come from these 'feminine/yin' sources between the years of 1999 to 2011 (and beyond).
So, as evolution accelerates, the feminine side of our brain is coming into balance with the masculine. During these years in general, and especially now during the 7th Day, it is a good idea to meditate on bringing the left and right hemispheres of your brain into balance. If you do nothing else on Wednesday November 3, this would be a great meditation to practice.
HERE'S THE THING, THOUGH: When you look around at the world, doesn't it seem like nothing could be farther from the truth concerning consciousness and integration? It's hard to picture such a shift taking place in our increasingly divided world and on such a short timetable.
The answer is: it is happening within our psyches. We can choose to resist or embrace the increasing influx of light. I have decided not to look outside of myself to see these shifts happening, but to look within myself to see if I am embracing the polarity balancing on all levels of my being. Is my brain adapting to the change? Is my heart? My emotions? My actions?
Rebecca Smither Orleane, PhD describes it beautifully: "We must pledge to look even more deeply at the emotions we feel and the choices we make. We must pledge to reject all thoughts that lead us to act out of fear and separation, the thoughts that judge others or ourselves to be less than we are as pieces of divinity moving towards unity together. We must pledge to examine the ways we manipulate others to get what we want and stop those patterns of behavior. We must pledge to be honest and true to our own hearts. Most of all, we must pledge to recognize the power of love and learn how to use it wisely. We must choose wisely through only our hearts."
The 7th Day
keep holy the sabbath
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. - Genesis 2:2
WE EVOLVE TO CONSCIOUS CO-CREATION OF EXISTENCE AND EXPERIENCE is the label given to the 7th Day by Ian Lungold. What might this mean? I think a clue can be found by going back to the Biblical account of what happened on The 7th Day of Creation, as quoted directly above.
Here are other Biblical references to the 7th Day:
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. - Exodus 20:11
For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. - Exodus 31:15
But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor the alien within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest, as you do. - Deuteronomy 5:14
For anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. - Hebrews 4:10
And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. - Genesis 2:3
On the 7th Day we are to make holy the Sabbath. The definition of SABBATH is 'a special day of prayer or rest.'
The edict of keeping one day per week for holy activities is established in Commandment #3 of the 10 Commandments: 'Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.' In Judaism the Sabbath is honored on Saturday; Christians honor it on Sunday - a reflection of the belief that the Resurrection of the Christ occurred on Sunday.
DEFINITION: Sabbatical or a sabbatical (from Latin sabbaticus, from Greek sabbatikos, from Hebrew shabbat, i.e., Sabbath, literally a "ceasing") is a rest from work, or a hiatus, often lasting from two months to a year. The concept of sabbatical has a source in shmita, described several places in the Bible (Leviticus 25, for example, where there is a commandment to desist from working the fields in the seventh year). In the strict sense, therefore, sabbatical lasts a year. The foundational Bible passage for sabbatical concepts is Genesis 2:2-3, in which God rested (literally, "ceased" from his labor) after creating the universe, and it is applied to people (Jew and Gentile, slave and free) and even to beasts of burden in one of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:8-11, reaffirmed in Deuteronomy 5:12-15).
Metaphysically the concept of ceasing or resting from work and commiting oneself to honoring a holy time represents a rest from material pursuits (materialism) simply for the sake of materialism, and coming to rest in the Sacred, the Holy. In what is Real. Prayer and meditation are the primary ways to do this, but the commandment here is to keep a longer segment of time, even a full year, devoted to this spiritual communion. We are being asked to enter holy time where instead of worshipping material pursuits only, we are in tune with the Real and the Holy, on Sacred Time - which is so much more than a calendar based on bank holidays. For one thing, this way of being cares about people as well as profits.
WE EVOLVE TO CONSCIOUS CO-CREATION OF EXISTENCE AND EXPERIENCE. Instead of labor disconnected from the spiritual, we co-create with God. This way of living applies to people of all races, socio-economic strata and even to animals. And, oddly enough, it is punishable by death if we do not remember what is holy! Our world will die. We will die. In so many ways and on so many levels.
In the masculine centuries, especially in the 14th-16th centuries, the word Sabbat was defined as 'a secret rendezvous of witches and sorcerers for worshiping the Devil, characterized by orgiastic rites, dances, feasting, etc. One of the problems being addressed now is changing this demonization of the feminine, of the earth, and the earth religions.
But before Sabbats were demonized they were simply eight annual earth-religion (agricultural) festivals - aka Cross-Quarter holidays. These festivals honor the midway point between the major seasons of Spring/Fall (the Equinoxes in March/Aries and September/Libra) and Winter/Summer (the Solstices in December/Capricorn and June/Cancer). They mark the point where the earth's energy begins to shift forward toward a new CARDINAL sign. Astrologically the Cross-Quarters are denoted by when the Sun reaches 15* of the zodiac sign between the seasons. The Sabbats reach to the CARDINAL energies, toward the great Galactic Cross of Awakening.
We have just emerged from a summer of being 'crucified' on the Great Cardinal Cross.
Honoring the Sabbath and the Sabbats brings us closer to the Divine Perfection of the Conscious Co-Creation of the Cardinal Cross - the Cross of the Initiate, one who is firmly on the path of holiness in its purest sense. Now we are disciples. Then we will be Initiates.
(To read more about the Cardinal Cross, see my previous newsletter: http://conta.cc/9r1Pu3)
I leave you with some quotes, worth repeating, concerning the 7th Day and Ceasing from the Wheel of Materialism:
An important thing to realize is that the Beast (of Materialism) cannot win. - Carl Calleman
We can expect a last violent assault by the forces seeking a return to the materialist values of the previous underworld (i.e. level of consciousness).
Only the divine reality is real, eternal; the material world is but an illusion.
And now, if we want to, we can EVOLVE TO CONSCIOUS CO-CREATION OF EXISTENCE AND EXPERIENCE.
The Divine Feminine in the Underworld
New Moon in Scorpio Nov 5-6
Women as half of all workers changes everything. - 'The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation,' study by Maria Shriver and the Center for American Progress
The time is out joint / Oh cursed spite / That ever I was born / To set it right. - Hamlet
If you find yourself in hell, keep going. - Winston Churchill
The burden of setting time right (holy time vs. banking time) falls on the Divine Feminine as she re-emerges with a gentle fury in this time of great quickening. The masculine must support her and lay down his weapons once and for all.
And so, as the 7th Day dawns - that penultimate time of balancing of masculine and feminine - it just so happens that Venus, the planet representing the feminine is retrograde and 'in the underworld.' A different kind of underworld than the ones described above - this underworld means that Venus is so close to the sun as she travels backwards (apparent motion from earth) that we can't see her in the sky. This holds an energy of being 'off the world stage'.
As if talk of two different kinds of underworlds isn't enough, we also have the New Moon in Scorpio on November 5-6 (12:52am Eastern Nov 6; 9:52pm Pacific Nov 5). Scorpio being the astrological sign most associated with the underworld, that internal place where our shadow side lurks, repressed parts of ourselves we'd rather not look at but which contain treasures if we are brave enough to let all parts of us see the light.
Any New Moon holds no light. The New Moon is also known as the Dark Moon, a womb-like energy at the very very beginning of a new cycle. Venus is retrograde for 40 Days and 40 Nights - wandering in the desert.
In October, Venus disappeared as the evening star and began a deep hidden journey. She'll re-emerge as the morning star in the eastern, pre-dawn sky on November 5 - at the time of the New Moon. And so, at this New Moon in Scorpio, Venus is halfway through her Underworld journey in Scorpio. She will then turn direct on November 18 - just days before the Full Moon in Scorpio/Taurus.
The planet Venus is known as Earth's 'sister' planet in esoteric spiritual philosophy. It is said that she has reached 'Sacred Status' - a kind of ascension or enlightenment on the planetary level. (Esoterism contends, and I agree, that all planets and stellar bodies have consciousness). And so it is said that Venus is helping Earth on her own journey to the same level of ascension. Angels are Venusian substance making up the protective/helping energies that have been with us for millions of years.
The Great Feminine Angel leads us onward. And right now, she is leading us through the Underworld. Angels guiding us through our own inner hells, like Virgil pulling Dante forward by the light of a flickering candle. Evolution calls us forward.
And so we have all of this light from the 7th Day, combined with a hidden, secretive, even weakened Venus who is not concerned with world affairs so much as she is with the inner journey, combined with a dark moon in the 'dark' sign of Scorpio. So much light so much night. Masculine-Feminine, Light-Dark, East-West.
Like Ms. Feminine, we too need to 'off the world stage' - a kind of Sabbath or sabbatical from all things worldly. Time to go within, even if there are goblins in there that frighten us. Time to rest. Time outside of artificial time. Ceasing.
This week (on the days of October 31 - November 2) is a holiday known as All Saints Day in the Catholic Church, Hallow's Eve in secular terms and Dia de Los Muertes in Latin culture. It is, across many cultures, the time to remember the ancestors, those who have passed on, both recently and in the long-ago mists of time.
Our blood relatives reveal the arduous task of evolution to the current state of being human. We have left much of antiquated beliefs and primitive behaviors behind, and yet we still cling to many destructive patterns. Consult the Wise Elders who have led the way in the past toward progressive en-Light-enment for their descendants. Tap into the path they have hacked through the forest, and follow the streams they have found in the desert, leading to the fountain of greater love and compassion toward our fellow humans and the planet.
The astrological sign of Capricorn represents the elders, wise and other-wise. Pluto, the 'planet' of death and re-birth, now has 'both feet' firmly planted in Capricorn, and eldership will now be re-defined, re-structured. Corruption and lack of integrity will be uprooted and pruned and turned to light in the new forms of government, and in the realms of corporations and banking. We need integrity-based elders - wise people of all ages - to run our institutions (our work in the world) in a 'holy' way, or we will surely perish. ('be put to death')
2024 is the new 2012
and an eclipse on winter solstice
When the book of time turns to blank pages - and the prophets are blocked from viewing the future - It is not written that this will be the end of all things - but a new beginning - A phoenix from the ashes - an opportunity for the human race to write a new book - and fill it's pages with all the beauty of the cosmos. Once and for all - we can claim our rightful position - on the throne of creation - as exploratory citizens of the universe. http://bit.ly/9NZp22
2012, I am so over it. Back in 1997 when I first heard about the Mayan Calendar and its end-date of 12-21-12, I was mesmerized and fixated on it. Until recently. I still feel it is important. I see it as a gateway (2011-2013), much the same as the Millenial gateway of 1999-2001. An event (like 9-11) could happen. Or it could not. Much will change. But you knew that already didn't you.
The one thing about 2012 is that the general population is aware of it - thanks and no thanks to Hollywood, for bringing it to mass-consciousness but (sigh) in a fear-mongering form. Nonetheless, the fact that mass-consciousness is aware of it shows a shift in and of itself. Who knew about it back in 1997 except er, um odd-folks like me, holed up in my room reading esoteric and metaphysical books;)
NOW how 'bout 2024? This is a significant year which has come across my radar more than 10 times just in the past few months - leading me to pay attention to it. In 2024 Pluto goes into AQUARIUS which is going to be so mind-blowing, there really are not words to describe it. First we must get through Pluto in Capricorn which is chewing up our economy and having it for breakfast, then we will be ready for the Ferocious Revolution of 2024 and following.
I have also been studying esoteric spiritual philosophy and am told that the next person to take *dictation* from Spirit in the avenue of Alice Bailey at the turn of the last century will emerge in 2025. Some kind of fire will alight on earth at that time.
Oh and don't forget our Winter Solstice this year will be amplified by a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse falling within 3 hours of the Solstice! The Solstices and Equinoxes - 2 of each happening every year - will be eternal touch-flames to the Cardinal Cross, for many many moons to come. This Winter Solstice, the first after the Cardinal Cross perfected in the summer, has a big ol' moon pointing to it. More to come on the eclipse as it approaches. For now, suffice it to say that I'm all excited about it! I love eclipses and I love Winter Solstice so this is like, er, Christmas for me (which of course comes a few days later;) ... well, you know what I mean:)
