The Post-2012 Post

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.

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 AVEBURY MANOR 2012 CROP CIRCLE

On July 15, 2008 a crop circle appeared adjacent to Avebury Manor, a National Trust property.  It is located in Avebury, Wiltshire in southern England, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the home of some famous neolithic stone circles.

The crop circle is a clear depiction of our solar system -- showing the alignment of the planets on approximately December 21, 2012. 

If you are of a skeptical bent, then you can double-check the alignment with an astronomy software program, or use an on-line resource such as  Solar System Live.  Just plug in the date: 2012-12-21 and, voila, you will get something that looks like this:

Y2K AND 2012

All of the chatter around the Mayan 2012 phenomenon inevitably gives rise to comparisons with Y2K, the computer bug that was widely predicted to have catastrophic effects when the world's computers ticked over at midnight on December 31, 1999.

Of course, as in all such comparisons, there are both similarities and differences.  But 2012 skeptics will most likely gleefully jump on the comparison to point out that nothing much happened then, so, ipso facto, nothing much will occur on December 21, 2012....... and they might be right......or not.

2012: SCIENCE OR SUPERSTITION -- PART TWO

In Chapter Five, titled The Science of Apocalypse, Bruce tackles the pronouncements of another video participant, Lawrence Joseph, author of Apocalypse 2012 (which is forebodingly  subtitled: A Scientific Investigation into Civilization's End).

Bruce evidently is a little sceptical about that word scientific since she conducts her own independent study into the likelihood of our befalling certain of the enumerated fates.  However, at a minimum she does concede that they are a "good sampling of the classic concerns that have come to be associated with the 2012 meme."  

After an extensive search of the scientific literature relevant to Joseph's "selection of apocalypses" she declares that "some are legitimate, others aren't"......and some fall in between.

2012: SCIENCE OR SUPERSTITION -- PART ONE

It is fairly common to see a video based on a book, far less common to see a book based on a video -- but that is the case here.  Evidently the producer of a video, by the same name, having thoroughly researched the 2012 phenomenon in preparing for the film, felt "...there was no single book that even attempted" to cover the broad range of topics involved so he went out and got a writer, Alexandra Bruce, to do the job.  Hence the subtitle: The Definitive Guide to the Doomsday Phenomenon.

It certainly is "definitive" in a sense, but its breadth is accomplished at the expense of its depth.  Geoff Stray's Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Awakening? also does a great job of covering the waterfront, and in more depth.  So you might think of the current book as "Stray lite."  However, that may be just the ticket if you would like a quick, easy and comprehensive read on the topic.  But lest I give the wrong impression, I must hasten to add that the book is very well done, thoroughly researched and intelligently written.

2012 AND ECOSHAMANISM

Beyond 2012: A Shaman's Call to Personal Change and the Transformation of Global Consciousness focuses more on the transformation and less on the 2012.  James Endredy is apparently a leader in the field of ecoshamanism -- a field about which I know very little, so you may have to take my comments with a grain of salt.

Endredy opens his consideration of 2012 with a brief overview of various prophecies, followed by the obligatory description of all the usual suspects:  volcanic and supervolcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, a pole shift, asteroid collisions and a smorgasbord of possible man made disasters.

REMOTE VIEWING AND 2012

In an earlier post I covered Geoff Stray's take on the remote viewing (RV) of 2012 and in my last post I recounted my own tentative forays into remote viewing.  Now I would like to take a more in-depth look at what light RV might have to shed on the 2012 issue.

As recounted by Stray, Ed Dames, a recognized authority in RV, stated on the Art Bell show in 1997 that RVers were unable to see beyond 2012.  He referred to it as a "discontinuity."  His best guess at that time was that, "...time changes....there is an event that is global, that something happens to the world that makes all the event timelines change."

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.

BEYOND 2012 by GEOFF STRAY -- PART ONE

 

As you may recall, I was so taken by Geoff Stray's chapter in The Mystery of 2012 that I devoted a whole post to it.  It should, therefore, come as no surprise that I was happy to receive a review copy of his recent book, Beyond 2012 -- Catastrophe or Awakening? from his U.S. publisher, Bear and Company.

I was not disappointed.  The sub-title says it all: A Complete Guide to End-of-Time Predictions. And complete it is. 

PROJECT CAMELOT PRODUCTIONS

 Project Camelot Productions is the umbrella for Kerry Cassidy's sites under the Project Camelot Portal.  It consists not only of her interviews but also of her blog, media productions and radio program.  Kerry is currently featuring recent video interviews with Michael Schratt and Aaron McCollum, and has plans to produce interviews with Dolores Cannon, Bob Dean and Andy Loyd.

BABA AND THE GUIDES ON 2012

My friend Baba has considerable psychic ability and, if asked, he is sometimes willing to look into the future.  What he sees isn't always necessarily 100% accurate but it always has merit, so I, of course, was very interested in his take on 2012.
