The Post-2012 Post

INTRODUCING THE NEW POST-2012 POST

Well, the fateful date of December 21, 2012 has now come and gone.............. and we are still here.......... isn't that a relief! 

But it is a mixed blessing. 

On the one hand we have not been subjected to a whole panoply of predicted disasters, from pole reversals to supervolcanoes.  However, on the other hand we didn't ascend to a higher level of consciousness, witness the start of a new Golden Age, experience the return of our benevolent space brothers, gain admittance to the Galactic Federation, or achieve global peace and prosperity.

In short, nothing much out of the ordinary, either good or bad,  appeared to happen, which is what Baba, the Korean Zen Master, predicted when I met with him at his temple in 2008.

To those of us who were active around the issues of Y2K it is deja vu all over again. Luckily, for me at least, this time around I didn't buy into the doom-and-gloom scenario and I didn't go overboard on disaster prep.

There are those sources that are saying that some changes did occur on December 21.  They contend that certain subtle energies from outer space impacted the earth and that in the future we will look back on this period as a turning point but there is no way of judging the validity of such sentiments so I will just take a wait-and-see attitude on that.

All of this business of the Mayan prophecy is now behind us but what I am left with is an unabated interest in the various related topics that are mentioned in the masthead above......... such things as remote viewing, First Contact, altered states, and after life communications. 

These are definitely subjects that I would like to address in the future, but for the time being I need to take a break.

Therefore, I am going to put the blog on hiatus, turn my attention to a number of long-neglected projects, and return to the blog............ now newly renamed The Post-2012 Post........ at some later date.

In closing, I would just like to say, aren't we lucky that......   

       THE BARTENDER WAS RIGHT!

 

EXPLORING SACRED SPACE -- PART THREE

In this final post on Kristen Ann's Exploring Sacred Space: A Vast Quest we will look at her take on the alien involvement, among other things (Note: for previous posts, see Part One and Part Two).  

Ann has a longstanding interest in ancient Egypt and has made multiple trips to the region.  She is a firm believer in the Ancient Aliens theory and notes that Werner Glas reported that the Egyptian gods were called Syrian because they were from Sirius.  She also notes that the Dogon tribe in Africa was thoroughly familiar with the pairing of the stars Sirius A and Sirius B, as depicted in their cave drawings, long before Western astronomers.

EXPLORING SACRED SPACE -- PART TWO

This is a continuation of my previous post taking a look at Kristen Ann's Exploring Sacred Space: A Vast Quest and now it is time to tackle some of her more provocative concepts.  One of these is the idea that at some point soon (possibly around December 21, 2012?) the earth may experience Three Days of Darkness. 

This is a notion that has come up before, sometimes within a religious context, e.g., there will be no electricity and the only visible light available will come from candles blessed by a priest, presumably Catholic.

But I think we will stick to a more secular interpretation here.  The central idea is that something, no one seems to be sure just what, will cause the entire globe to be plunged into darkness, receiving no light from our sun for three full days.  No doubt if this were to come to pass, there would be a worldwide panic of unprecedented proportions.

EXPLORING SACRED SPACE -- PART ONE

I was very pleased to receive a review copy of Kristen Ann's book, Exploring Sacred Space: A Vast Quest.  As she noted in a recent email, her main emphasis is on:

helping people KNOW what's coming, be prepared and thus...move beyond fear....In understanding this whole event, I'm hoping it will help people see it as an adventure -- and that fear won't so much be a part of it.

This suggestion to avoid fear has popped up numerous times in my readings and I believe that it is excellent advice.  In fact I will probably devote a whole post to it at some point.  But now back to Exploring Sacred Space....

VACATION HOLD III

It's that time of year again for my annual van camping trip through Nevada and Southern Utah.  I won't have much internet access while I am on the road but I will start posting again in late June.

In the meantime, here are some pictures from previous trips:

 

2012: THE BEGINNING -- PART THREE

This my final post on the soon-to-be-released documentary, 2012: The Beginning by writer/director/producer, Shannon Kring Buset.  In Part One we looked at the contributions of the Mayan participants and in Part Two we looked at the contributions of the Western scholars. 

In this final post I would like to take a look at the film as a whole and to offer a word or two of appreciation to the talented crew.

As I said earlier, the film was obviously done with heart and integrity -- it is completely devoid of any hype or sensationalism.  Clearly it is committed to portraying the Mayan perspective on 2012 as authentically and accurately as possible.  And by selecting both mainstream and non-traditional experts it shows its commitment to a balanced view of the phenomenon from the Western perspective.

2012: THE BEGINNING -- PART TWO

This is a continuation of my review of 2012: The Beginning, an intriguing new documentary on 2012. In the previous post I focused primarily on the contribution of the Mayan participants.  In this post I will cover the contribution of Western scholars, some mainstream and some "non-traditional."

At the top of the batting order is one of my all-time favorites, Geof Stray.  As you may recall I previously devoted a full post to Stray's chapter in The Mystery of 2012 and I later ran a three-part review of his more recent book, Beyond 2012 -- Catastrophe or Awakening?

2012: THE BEGINNING -- PART ONE

 I recently received a "screener," or advance review copy, for 2012: The Beginning, an exceptional new documentary video that will soon be available for wider public distribution.  It is a visually stunning film, one that was clearly conceived and executed with great heart and integrity. 

Many of the currently available 2012-themed videos focus on the overly hyped doom-and-gloom features of the phenomenon.  This one takes a decidedly refreshing and upbeat approach, but does so without getting into the more woo-woo aspects that some people decry.

According to its talented director, Shannon Kring Buset, the film:

...examines what the sacred Maya texts really say about the much-storied date of December 21, 2012.  It was shot in six countries and takes viewers into the field — to the very origins of the Maya Long Count calendar — and into the lives and sacred ceremonies of leading archaeologists, scholars, shamans, and the living Maya.

A NEW FORMULA FOR CREATION

Despite my training in the social and life sciences, I have to confess that I am a big fan of channeled material, i.e., material that reputedly emanates from some discarnate source -- be it a departed soul, other-dimensional being, extraterrestrial, evolved soul, or whatever. 

However, channeled material should always come with a disclaimer because it is difficult, if not impossible, to independently ascertain the validity of the material, the veracity of the source, and/or the clarity of the channeler. 

Thus, the standard advice is, using your own intuition take in those parts of the message that resonate with you and leave the rest for later..... which is sort of what I will be doing in this post, a review of A New Formula for Creation: The Miracle of Immortal Love, channeled by Judith K. Moore, and available from Light Technology Publishing.

THE SOURCE FIELD INVESTIGATIONS -- PART THREE

Welcome back to my third and final post on The Source Field Investigations (you can check here for Part One or Part Two).

Wilcock is very impressed with the writings of a Russian scientist, Nikolai Kozyrev, who did considerable work on the nature of time, or more specifically, the flow of time.  As in quantum physics, many of his discoveries just don't make sense to our rational minds.  For example, Kozyrev states that the flow of time isn't constant, it can be slowed down or speeded up under certain conditions.  And time does not "push through space in a straight line," it spins, twists or rotates.

THE SOURCE FIELD INVESTIGATIONS -- PART TWO

Wilcock presents us with a dazzling smorgasbord of topics and there were several that I found especially intriguing and/or significant.

One is his concept of levity, the opposite of gravity -- no, I'm not kidding, really.  Gravity is a downward force flowing into the earth, and since it doesn't dissipate, there must be a counterbalancing force flowing back up out of the earth.  He calls this force levity.  Interesting, huh?
