2012 the year of change, going off in a differant direction & other worldy influences
It’s a fact, we’re approaching that mysterious doomsday date of 2012. You know, that date in time where so many people believe that all life on Earth will either end or be changed forever in some kind of evolutionary/revolutionary/metaphysical way. I’m talking about of course the infamous date on the Mayan calender that ends on the year 2012. Now before you go out and do a repeat of what so many did back on our last doomsday date of Y2K, buy MREs by the case fulls, sell off your stocks, lock yourselves in your underground bunkers and wait for the end to come…there are a couple of legit explanations for why the Mayan calender ended on 2012. One of which was that their growing cycle for their crops as well as their living habits (which also happened to revolve around sun and moon cycles) had reached its peak at the year 2012.
So how did a simple cycle end become an instant response and translation that reality will end on the year 2012? Perhaps because we human beaings seek a more colorful existence rather than our bleek 9-5 life, and instantly set up an end that brings about alien invasions, metaphysical changes, evolution of a higher order and so on? Very well could be. But with so much that goes unexplained in our world, such as the big question: are we truly alone? and (insert your big question here), well you get the idea. Oh and let’s not forget conspiracies…those convoluted ideas and theories about government activity and so on and so forth. Conspiracies are the food of life, they give us a reason to keep investigating the unknown.
If I sound a bit sceptical about the whole 2012 idea…in a few ways I am. But with all of the experiances I personaly have had in life with the paranormal, I also know that there’s truly much more to this life than what we really want to admit. Like my own personal experiances with very real demonic/spirit activity at my own home. Those are experiances one has to come to terms with on many levels. Now, back to the current topic at hand…conspiracies, the actuality of the paranormal and other worldly influences. Below is a video clip from a very real and well known news station reporting on those “other worldy influences” that seemingly invade and upset our daily ways of life:
Now what if (and here’s where we go into conspiracy mode) a powerful governmental or corperate entity were to use the mass 2012 belief (as well as all the recent UFO sightings and so on), to impose a niche in the world economic market that would facilitate a rapidly decomposeing state of economic breakdown in order to bring about a one world money system that would benefit the worlds wealthiest? Now keep in mind that mainstream news has indeed been reporting the need to “phase out” checks in favor of useing credit cards. The whole secrurity and the lack-therof idea. The “cashless” society proposition. It’s very real and if it sounds like a huge conspiracy nut cake fest…just do some Googling of the terms, “NWO, cashless society, world economy, IMF” and related searches. Also keep in mind that the American dollar continues to lose worth in favor of the Euro, Yen and so forth.
So let’s recap here…2012 and the year of the great change, UFOs and the recent rash of sightings in the U.K., cashless society. And how does all this remotly tie in to benefit some power hungry government or corperate entity? One aspect is the all to human need to have security and the capitolization on and useing those ideas/conspiracies and so on, for very real high yield benefits and gains power and economical wise. But maybe I’m just going off on a trippy tangent, or maybe not.

From The I-Ching to 2012: Terrance Mckenna’s Astonishing Theory And The Singular Event For Mankind
Recently passed philosopher, scientist (and some may say, eccentric) Terrance McKenna was a complex man with a complex theory that ended in a simple statement: December of 2012 will be a time that we will never forget.
After intensely studying the I-Ching, the Ancient Chinese Oracle known as the “book of changes,” (some say with the assistance of psychoactive plants in the Amazon) he began to see patterns. The I-Ching is composed of 64 hexagrams, which are made up of six levels each of alternating horizontal bars and dots. If you line them up and stack them so that they are within a perfect square, you start to see a movement within the shapes.
He decided to create a linear model beginning in time with the era that the I-Ching was created in China and continuing to the present to see what patterns develop. When he input this information into a computer program, it formulated a graph with a rising and falling line, like a stock market forecast. He then noticed something astonishing. The parts of the line that were highest or lowest corresponded with times in history when new forms were developing.
When the line reached a peak, a new form would trigger the psyche of people. When the line fell into a crevasse, it aligned with a time when reality seemed to be falling apart, or there was a great event, or group of events all at once, that galvanized people. (The graph tells when, not where or what happens.)
You can see by the graph that important things happen in peaks and in troughs, both. My personal theory is that the peaks are when the lights go on and someone embodies this by creating some new form (which may not be able to be assimilated, and therefore is feared or shunned). The low points are when the lights go out and everyone is scrambling to find the switch because nothing is recognizable. Each requires a new form to come in to existence, but for a different reason.
Following the line on the graph, we see it take its last rise around the time of Classical Greece (around 700 B.C.) and then take a steady plunge until it simply dives off the graph into infinity, ending the module. And when was this event that had not occurred ever in the history of mankind you may ask? It was 2012. December 21st of 2012 to be exact; the final moments of the Mayan Calendar, as well, a calendar which had begun 5000 years ago, ending with the same date that Terrance’s module ended with.
Terrance saw this time period ending with time being compressed, over and over, from 1945 to 2012. What may we expect from this based on his calculations and the discoveries of correlations of the cycles of past events?
McKenna said in an interview with Sightings TV show that his best guess is that it is as if someone is likely to invent a time traveling machine of sorts, because it is as if it is the end of linear time. In other words, all time merges into one time. Everything becomes connected to everything else. Past, present and future become one. We could in effect be experiencing an infinite amount of evolution in a finite time.
Around 1968 there was the last peak. This coincided with a very tumultuous point in our cultural history in the USA. While the hippies frolicked and tried to create Nirvana on earth, the Vietnam War was escalated into its final death throws, and Martin Luther King’s message came across amidst riots and violence until his voice was silenced. We can see that this peak provided great events that touched the psyche of a group of people and still resonates today.
As we progress in time, we experience more rapid evolutionary growth in shorter time periods. The last one we had was between that time of 1967-68 until the 1990s, which corresponded to The Dark Ages of the past. Then it cycles again from 2010 until 2012, only 64 times faster, then in 2012, 64 times faster still. In other words, we must adapt and evolve 64 times faster each cycle. (Remember what I said earlier about 64 being the number of hexagrams in the I-Ching.)
No one really knows what will happen. As the different views on this time period converge, this date of 2012 is beginning to be known in the mainstream culture. Whether taking it seriously or not, people are starting to notice. And when that happens, just like the compressed and sped up time, the attention draws energy to the date and speeds that energy toward us, creating a fait accompli.
As we are propelled closer and closer to 2012, I believe that it will be important to be able to be incredibly agile, releasing the old willingly and adapting to each quickly shifting circumstance with lightening fast decisions in the moment, decisions that come from the heart. This will ensure that we are where we need to be for our soul’s best interest and that we will be there in peace.
We won’t have to look at a graph, know how fast things are speeding up, or ask someone what we should be doing. We will just know. If what Terrance McKenna is saying is true, this will be a day out of time while we are still on earth, and could provide an opportunity for this life and all lifetimes for each soul on earth.
