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.

DMT: THE SPIRIT MOLECULE -- PART FOUR

In the previous post we heard what a number of subjects had to say regarding their encounters with other "beings."  It's pretty far out stuff and if you feel most comfortable chalking it up to delusion, hallucination, dreaming, confabulation, mass hysteria or whatever -- please be my guest.

However, I have been immersed in this type of material for 20 years now and cannot so easily dismiss it.  That is in part because strikingly similar and internally consistent reports have appeared with great regularity in the alien abduction literature for quite a while.

DMT: THE SPIRIT MOLECULE -- PART TWO

As noted in the previous post, the book is first and foremost an account of a research project, hence it is of necessity heavy on the minutiae of research protocols.  While these are of undoubted interest to other researchers, the average reader could care less, so I will just jump into some of the juicier findings.

 Strassman describes these under three overarching rubrics: personal, transpersonal, and invisible.

BEYOND 2012 by GEOFF STRAY -- PART TWO

 

This is the second post devoted to my review of Geoff Stray's Beyond 2012 -- Catastrophe or Awakening?  In the previous post I covered a number of topics in which I have varying degrees of interest.  However, in this post I get to delve into areas which are near and dear to my heart....one of which is remote viewing.

 Remote viewing, or RV, is defined as, "...the ability to gather information about a distant or unseen target...." using something other than our usual senses.  It can be thought of as a type of psychic ability but one employed under very strict, "scientific" conditions.  My own experiences with RV have been totally mind boggling and I will describe them at some later point, but right now let's just look at the 2012 aspect according to Stray.

THE MYSTERY OF 2012 -- GEOFF STRAY

As promised, this entire post will be devoted to Geoff Stray's chapter because it is so chock-full of good stuff.  He opens with a brief introduction to the work of Terence and Dennis McKenna, their experiences with ayahuasca (a very powerful entheogen), and their novelty wave theory that "demonstrates the acceleration of change in the universe toward a point...when time will end" -- which they placed at November 17, 2012.
