Here you will find a collections of thoughts and musings, some mine, some from others and some are a combination of both.

I make no clame as to the originality or validity of this information. I do however believe that it's worth pondering, and if you feel the need to know more, I suggest you follow your intuition and seek the answers.

"And there shall be signs in the , and in the moon, and in the ; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."

Luke 21:25-26

"...lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."

Matthew 28:20

For Those Who 'Get It' and Who Want to Get Through It

I have thought of many, many ways of expressing this that would make it less catastrophically radical. A very simple way that makes everybody feel a little better is to suppose that what happens on December 21, 2012, is that physicists who've been laboring for some time toward the technology of time travel, actually succeed. Suddenly the timewave is fulfilled, and yet the heavens do not fall, and angels do not appear to lift us into paradise. The reason history ends at that date is because after the invention of time travel the notion of a seriality of events ceases to have any meaning. Everybody agrees history ended yesterday.

We then experience life in a post-historical atemporal bubble where you not only tell where you live, but when you live.

Rigid Thinkers Become Fragile Survivors

For those who now agree that time is of the essence, here are the beginnings of my practical 2012 how-to survival knowledge, for those who will be left to fend for themselves.

I cannot explain why these things matter to me, why I understand these things, or how to help you understand them. All I can do is relate what I know and hope that what you hear will take root and grow into understanding for you. Know that the forces of love and light are growing, milling about among us. Expect similar information from various sources. Know also that the forces of desperation and darkness also walk among us and that it is that polluted energy of the collective unconsciousness that will turn against humanity. Whatever happens, it will be an expression of the energy that is radiated by all humanity, whether we are able or unable to live in peace and to make the right choices (for peace, welfare, health and inner spirituality).

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."
-Charles Darwin

It appears that there is some residue emotions that we must be rid of before we can march freely into the promised land of a New World. Greed, over confidence (hubris), self-centered arrogance, narrow mindedness to name only a few. You probably run into these and many more unproductive emotions every day. No doubt there is much happening in all parts of the world in this transition period, but in the end what is important is how we as individuals and as a collective conscience react or proact to these changes. As individuals, as nations, as humanity we will set the tone for what kind of a world we will begin the next epoch with. What humanity does now will flavor the world in which we live for a very long time.

As the Hopi also say: We are the ones we have been waiting for.

We each need to focus on living a love-centered life through the expression of the six heart virtues. Cultivate appreciation, compassion, forgiveness, humility, understanding, and valor. Expect heightened perception, an intuitive knowing, more of a fine-grain intuitive knowing, and a deepening emotional connection to your fellow men. We are to choose our destiny. Live a love-centered life, and follow earth's ascendancy or live a fear-based life and remain in the third dimensional frequency grid with its inherent limitations intact. If you are here on Earth wearing the human instrument, you are here out of choice and purpose. In the times ahead, there will be shifting sands and creeping doubts and many people will feel fears trying to grasp them. May I remind anyone who is open-minded to the possibility, that you are here at this time to give your love independent of the external world conditions and events.

"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. "

Matthew 24:14

"And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: "

Revelation 14:6-10

"For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."

2 Peter 3:3-7

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

[Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy conversation and godliness, "

2 Peter 3:9-10

How do the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field. The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness."

Joel 1:18-20

"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."

Daniel 12:4

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation."

2 Peter 3:3-4

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

2 Timothy 3:1-5

"Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: . . . exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until He come whose right it is; and I will give it Him."

Ezekiel 21:26, 27.

"And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, nation shall rise agains nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: andye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

And because iniquity shall abound, thelove of many shall wax cold.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

And this gosepl of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)"

Matthew 24:3-15

Revelation 6:12-14,

"12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. "

Revelation 8:7-12

"8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise."

Bible Code: We are all familiar how these work, take a book, write down every other, every third, every forth, etc. letter and see if you can find a secret message hidden within the text: Here are a few:

A -10000 to 10000 New Testament search for ASTEROID, COMET, BEAST, VLAD (Vladimir , likely Antichrist). Row splitting was on Auto. This ELS=4813 matrix resulted. Note that the matrix includes Revelation 8:12 on an asteroid hitting earth, and Revelation 12:9 where the great dragon is cast out into the earth, and the V in VLAD is in "devils" in "should not worship devils" in Revelation 9:20. This matrix is from 2 Peter 1:3 to Revelation 19:20, and is 27 rows x 27 colunms. Finding VLAD in the matrix could mean that the asteroid will hit earth while the , Vladimir Putin, is in power, as predicted by the Book of Revelation prophecies. So it could happen within a .

ASTEROID (ELS=4813), COMET, VLAD, BEAST, EARTHQUAKE, DEATH, and also: FIRE BURNING from 2 Peter 1:3 to Revelation 16:18 (a great earthquake). It includes Revelation 8:12 and Revelation 12:1 where a sign is seen in heaven. Also in this matrix is:
-- THE DAY STAR (the asteroid would be bright like a star as it enters the atmosphere)
- WHO COMETH DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN
- THERE WERE SEVEN LAMPS OF FIRE BURNING (this may indicate the asteroid will break into seven pieces when it hits the atmosphere; these could also be the seven thunders of Revelation 10). These seven pieces of the asteroid could be the SEVEN HEADS of the previous matrix.

The next matrix is in the Old Testament at Leviticus 16:4 - Numbers 4:30, and it contains ASTEROID (ELS=-4068), TIDAL, WAVE, and also STONES BROKE (the asteroid breaking up as it hits earth). So this may be saying that an asteroid will hit in the ocean, causing a tidal wave. So an asteroid may break into 7 pieces and hit in the ocean, this may be the seven thunders of 10:3: "seven thunders uttered their voices".

Next is the same matrix, but with additional words, at Leviticus 8:4-Numbers 4:30. It contains: ASTEROID (ELS=-4068), TIDAL, WAVE, SATAN, COMET. It also contains these phrases:
-- THE PLAGUE SEVEN DAYS
- THE PLAGUE BE SPREAD
- THE BLOOD
- YOUR FLESH FOR THE DEAD
- THERE CAME A FIRE OUT

It seems to indicate a disease plague, as well as the asteroid sea impact.

The next matrix is in the New Testament at Romans 3:15-4:12, and it contains ASTEROID (ELS=177), TIDAL, WAVE.

The next matrix is in the New Testament at John 8:59-14:24, and contains ASTEROID (ELS=-2938), COMET, SAVE THE WORLD, WAVE. Also in the lower right: THE DEVIL.

The next matrix is in the New Testament at 1 Timothy 6:4 - Hebrews 10:32, and contains ASTEROID (ELS=1910), COMET, TIDAL, WAVE. Also in this matrix: SHADOW OF HEAVENLY THINGS, BLOOD, THE WORLD BEGAN (there were many asteroid impacts after the earth first was formed billions of years ago), DELIVER ME FROM EVERY EVIL WORK.

Nostradamus: His works divided 1000 verses (Quatrains) into groups of 100 (centuries) sometimes you just have to read the quatrains yourself and decide what they mean. I believe that any meaningful message will be apparent to the individual reader.

Century 2, Number 43.

"At the time that the bearded star is seen,
Three great leaders will become enemies,
Earthquakes and disaster falling from the heavens,
The Po and Tiber Rivers flooding,
A serpent is seen on the shore."

Century 2, Number 46.

"After great problems for humanity, a greater problem appears,
as the millennium begins,
floods, blood, milk, steel, famine, and disease strike mankind,
and in the sky a fire with a long trail of sparks is seen."

Century 2, Number 53

"The terrible plague of disease in the maritime city,
Does not stop until there is avenged the death
Of the just, who were sentenced for a price although innocent,
Of the Great Lady unwronged."

Century 2, Number 62.

"Mabus soon dies,
and there is a terrible slaughter of people and animals
There is thirst, hunger, famine when the comet is seen."

Century 6, Number 5.

"Across the Northern Hemisphere disease and famine,
and on Samarobryn one hundred leagues from earth,
are people living together apart from politics."

Century 1, Number 69.

"A mile-wide mountain strikes earth
after there is peace, war, famine, and floods,
the asteroid strike causes widespread flooding of nations,
some of which are ancient.

Century 2, Number 29.

"The man from the East leaves his place
and passes the Apennine mountains to go to France.
He passes the sky, the waters and snow,
and he strikes everone with a rod."

(note: In Astrology a Grand Water Trine, of planets in the three water signs forming an exact triangle within 1 degree. A Grand Water Trine is very rare, but there was one on Aug. 31 1994, and there will be one on July 18 2013. Keep these dates in mind)

If you are confused by the intentionally vague way Nostradamus wrote, perhaps this summary of his 'end of the world' prophecies may help you see more clearly.

a. Timing

b. The end of civilization

c. Geography

d. Preparations/Survival

e. Old vs. Young Souls

f. The New Age of spiritual rebirth

g. Reawakening of freedoms an rights

h. Peace after WWWIII

i. Spirituality transcends technology

j. Feminine aspects of God revered again

k. More open, frequent contact with aliens

l. "Green" revolution, return to the land

m. Scientific discoveries reaffirm Eastern religion

n. Great Genius unifies religion and science

o. Great Genius discovers the science of miracles

p. Astonishing feats of medicine

q. New philosophy of the Age of Aquarius

Timing

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are due to the activity caused by the conjunction of the planets, which also affects the shift of this planet.

A shift will occur at the close of the century

It will be abrupt as to be within a "six to ten-hour period".

b. The end of civilization

Civilization as you know it will cease to exist.

Cities will no longer exist as we know them.

c. Geography

Continents as you know them now will cease to exist or change dramatically. All the central part of your continent as you know it will be [spared]. Continents all over the earth will be affected. The water mass as we know it now will cover a greater percentage of the earth. Continents that are connected will be split, divided by water that were not divided by water before. There will not be any country that is not affected. A large portion of Asia will be covered with water. Africa will have a channel cutting through it, a new strait.

d. Preparations/Survival

Make humanity aware. Let people prepare themselves spiritually. Intellectually become more aware of survival through climactic changes.

Problems of survival will be hardest in countries turned into islands.

e. Old vs. Young Souls

There is now a higher proportion of old souls in the world than there has ever been before, because the old souls will be needed to help the world survive. They can be found everywhere, permeated in the oddest places. The old souls will be in communication with each other and they are the ones that will help things hold together and survive. Nostradamus states that his communication is intended to help us avoid the worst-case scenarios of his visions that could be averted with great determination and resolve. The time of troubles will be a very trying time. The spirits on the earth at this time are there by choice to work through major amounts of karma. Living in this stressful period will be like concentrated karma, or the equivalent of ten average human lifetimes. The older and more advanced spirits volunteered. Some younger spirits were simply feeling adventurous. Others are here not because they wanted to in their hearts, but they had to or it would be the "end of the line for them" as far as spiritual advancement. They're not fully volunteers but just enforced volunteers, so to speak, because they knew they had no other choice. Most of the people are understandably unhappy, but some make the best of the situation and some don't.

f. The New Age of spiritual rebirth

The shift will usher the beginning of a new age.

Even though there will be physical deaths, there is no death of people's consciousness, but a different awareness. Do not feel that people would not know life. There will be those that will be left here to make a new beginning for the earth.

Whether the worst of the events prophecied come to pass, there will be a great spiritual rebirth throughout the world. Individuals will have the opportunities to "get in touch with themselves" and come to a realization about the falsehoods of materialism.

After communication is restored after the time of troubles, people will come to this realization together, and a great rebirth of philosophy that blends the Eastern and Western religions will ensue. It will be a worldwide movement upholding the Truth as everyone perceives it, bringing about the best aspects of the Age of Aquarius. Focusing on this "ray of hope" during the time of troubles could alleviate the worst aspects of the suffering, the the materialism of the majority of the population will regrettably make this unlikely.

g. Reawakening of freedoms an rights

The U.S. will suffer defeats fighting the Antichrist as well as an internal political deterioration during the time of troubles. When the time of troubles are over people will celebrate their victory and freedom, and reawaken in the U.S. the spirit of liberty and rights embodied by the Statue of Liberty, which were dead during the time of the Antichrist's tyranny. The people will regain their rights and the way of life improve from the dark times.

h. Peace after WWWIII

An American president with a strong Cancer influence will push for war and cause events to fall in place for it. But after WWWIII the populace will be repulsed by war and elect a new president. He will want peace and work for it, and peace will reign for some time afterwards.

Spirituality transcends technology

This quatrain refers to the grand design that is emanating from the "center of the wheel" during the time of troubles and the healing period afterwards. The sun and Mercury/Hermes are symbols of "the higher aspects". The sun in this quatrain represents the overall power of the universe from which everything originates. Mercury represents the materialistic aspects of technology. Hermes, in relation with Mercury, symbolizes modern communications technology. Vulcan, i.e. one who works with fire, represents warfare. The "hidden sun" represents the fact that the societies of the world have gotten out of touch with their spiritual source. They are ignorant of their origin and the "meaning of life" and they search for fulfillment and happiness in other areas, and do not succeed. They think it's found in modern technology, hence the "sun being eclipsed by Mercury". It's held only second because what people really hold first is personal pleasure and happiness. And in trying to find happiness in technology they separate themselves from the central source of the universe. By the end of WWWIII and the time of troubles, and the healing process begins, people will be reunited with the source. The horrors of war and bloodshed--the powers of Vulcan--will cause them to realize that technology does not contain the answers to happiness. They will gain a new insight into "from whence they sprang and where they are going". The time of healing will usher a more spiritually mature age, and people will be able to heal themselves and the world, and go far in preparing to join the community fo the Watchers. The central hub of the "wheel" represents the source of everything and radiating spokes symbolize channels of power. The space between the spokes contains different scenes in the background, representing the various influence the "aspects" have on historical developments as a result of the intensity of the associated energies.

j. Feminine aspects of God revered again

The feminine aspects of God have been ignored, neglected and reviled. After the demise of the Antichrist the pendulum will swing back into balance. In early ages and in ancient societies the female aspect of God was worshipped and revered. The masculine aspect was also respected but was subordinate. During the patriarchal era, which extends into the present, the female aspect was suppressed and repressed. Society will come to terms with the divinity of both masculine and feminine aspects. This realization will help foster a more balanced worldview.

k. More open, frequent contact with aliens.

After the time of troubles there will be much closer and open contact with aliens and UFOs. One alien race will be heading for an undersea, seafloor base they have established but the craft will malfunction and be cast up on the shore. The people will perceive them as the enemy out of terror. Some of the "Others" are enemies, and some are not. There is more than one group of "Watchers". Some mean well for mankind and some have more selfish motives in mind.

l. "Green" revolution, return to the land.

People will turn to peace after the horrors of the Antichrist. A "green" revolution with roots in the social revolution of the early 1970s will ensue. People will live in extended families beyond the nuclear families of the modern era. Larger families and groups of people are needed to build and support new communities. The new communities will be very earth- and ecology-conscious. They will help heal the earth of the horrible degradations of weaponry from WWWIII. They will reclaim and cultivate wasted, misused, or unusable land for farmland. Since the will for peace is all-encompassing, building defenses will not be necessary. In direct reversal of the 20th century trend, cities will be torn down to expose soil to sunlight and make room for farming. So many will have died during WWWIII that plenty of land will be available to the low-density population. People will be inherently pacific and reclaim land beneath concrete instead of fighting over land.

m. New political alliances.

After the calamitous events of the late 20th century, the present alliances among the countries, particularly western nations, will dissolve and new alignments will form. During the interim period the people involved with the peace-keeping system beneath the existing alliance will be "at loose ends". A secret naval or intelligence base, will be constructed on the American continental shelf underneath the ocean for secrecy. Heads of staff will meet there to decide what action to take in regard to the new alliance. NATO will not be known by this name but will live on in a similar organization that stemmed from it. This will be dissolved due to the stress countries underwent duing the time of troubles.

n. Scientific discoveries reaffirm Eastern religion.

Military scientists--not those researching weapons, but doing research-- will discover a new force other than the basic ones of electricity, magnetism, gravity, etc. shortly after the time of troubles. This new force will give supporting evidence for Eastern religious views. The countries in this part of the world, particularly India, will "turn inward" to contemplate the discovery and rise in greater glory than through outward communication with other nations. It is not so much a discovery but a realization. The evidence for the force has been in front of us bu the facts have been misinterpreted and misassociated with other phenomena, such as "statistical aberration". The force will relate to mystical phenomena such as teleportation.

o. Great Genius unifies religion and science.

The Great Genius will help unify science and religion and bring about the enlightenment and peace of the Age of Aquarius foretold by prophets. People will be able to free their inner selves and open themselves up to the higher powers and the higher levels of the universe. In effect it will make everyone a philosopher. Sects and religions that embrace the newly discoverd principles will be widespread as adherents meet and share experiences in exploring the "upper regions".

p. Great Genius discovers the science of miracles.

The great genius will realize the magic of alchemy through his discoveries and inventions. The new philosophy engendered by his discoveries will encourage the development of mental powers and anything will seem possible in the climate of a greater unity of mind, soul, body, and emotions. People will be able to manipulate the basic forces of the universe in a wa that will seem utterly fantastic to those not involved with the occult. People presently involved in occult and psychic realms currently deal with these forces without understanding, but in the future understanding will be present, sharpening the efficacy of the art.

q. Astonishing feats of medicine.

Future medicine will reach astonishing sophistication by today's standards and will eventually be able to renew a body or "breath back the spirit" into, i.e. reanimate, the body. A breakthrough in science will have a profound effect and man will finally "touch God", so to speak. The spiritual core of the universe that animates everything through lifeforce will be discovered, the central source of this the divine spirit. It will seem like a profound rebirth of humanity.

r. New philosophy of the Age of Aquarius.

A new philosophy will emerge in the New Age, more compatible with the reality of the higher planes and life on earth. The philosophy will have seven basic tenets that appear simple on the surface but are actually very deep. After a period of peace the people of earth will become lax and uncaring of the higher aspects of spirituality because they "have it easy". A war and famine and other hardships will turn minds toward higher realizations as people think there must be something more to their existence. It will absolve existing contradictions in philosophies that perplex people, and will overturn older, established religions. It will have sociological effects and will affect the laws of countries. The philosophy has its roots in the Age of Aquarius.

who has Thursday as his holy day,
His power and renown grows, by land and sea,
to the East there is a storm brewing."

Missing Books of the Bible:

Fourth Book of Ezra

The apocryphal 2 Esdras received its name "because of the opening verse: 'The second book of the prophet Ezra. . . .' The book is an apocalypse consisting largely of seven revelations (3:1-5:20; 5:21-6:34; 6:35-9:25; 9:38-10:59; 11:1-12:51; 13:1-58; 14:1-48) which are primarily concerned with moral themes. Apparently, at least three authors are responsible for 2 Esdras. The original author was probably a first-century Palestinian Jew who, writing in Aramaic or Hebrew, produced chaps. 3-14 (the original 4 Ezra). It was subsequently translated into Greek. A second-century Christian added a Greek introduction (chaps. 1-2). Finally, a third-century Christian added the last two chapters (15-16) in Greek....The purpose of the original author was to show that God is just, despite the evil of the Rome of his day and the calamities that had befallen Jerusalem..."
- Craig A. Evans, Noncanonical Writings and New Testament Interpretation, (1992) pp. 10-11

"And now, O Lord, why hast thou given over the one to the many, and dishonored the one root beyond the others, and scattered thine only one among the many? And those who opposed thy promises have trodden down those who believed thy covenants. If thou dost really hate thy people, they should be punished at thy own hands."
- 4 Ezra 5:28-30

"...The Apocalypse of Ezra (4 Ezra = 2 Esdras), which seems to have been compiled around the end of the first Christian century by a Jew who was somewhat disillusioned by the harshness with which the Lord had allowed Israel to be treated in the recent past -- especially the Fall of Jerusalem in 70 CE. The book probably was written in Semitic, and early translated into Greek, and from Greek into a variety of languages. The Semitic original has perished, along with the Greek translation (except for a few lines from 15.57-59, which in any event originally was not part of 4 Ezra...), so that present editions rest primarily on the ancient Latin version. In its present Latin form, 4 Ezra contains what is usually called a Christian framework (chs 1-2 = '5 Ezra' and 15-16 = "6 Ezra") between which the Apocalypse proper is sandwiched."
- Robert A. Kraft, ""

"4 Ezra...contains seven visions that God gave to Ezra the scribe/prophet."
- Craig A. Evans, Noncanonical Writings and New Testament Interpretation, (1992) p. 25

The Jewish author writes about events leading up to the Last Judgment.

"For behold, the time will come, when the signs which I have foretold to you will come to pass, that the city which now is not seen shall appear, and the land which now is hidden shall be disclosed. And every one who has been delivered from the evils that I have foretold shall see my wonders. For my son the Messiah shall be revealed with those who are with him, and those who remain shall rejoice four hundred years. And after these years my son the Messiah shall die, and all who draw human breath. And the world shall be turned back to primeval silence for seven days, as it was at the first beginnings; so that no one shall be left."

- 4 Ezra 7:26-30

Mother Shipton lived during the time of King Henry VII. Mother Shipton was born Ursula Sontheil in 1488 in a cave beside the river Nidd in North Yorkshire, England. Close by was an ancient well with supposed mystical powers.

She wrote her prophecies like poems.

She even forecast her own death in 1561. Today her prophecies are still proving uncannily accurate.

MOTHER SHIPTON PROPHECIES

And now a word, in uncouth rhyme

Of what shall be in future time

Then upside down the world shall be

And gold found at the root of tree

All England's sons that plough the land

Shall oft be seen with Book in hand

The poor shall now great wisdom know

Great houses stand in farflung vale

All covered o'er with snow and hail

A carriage without horse will go

Disaster fill the world with woe.

In London, Primrose Hill shall be

In centre hold a Bishop's See

Around the world men's thoughts will fly

Quick as the twinkling of an eye.

And water shall great wonders do

How strange. And yet it shall come true.

Through towering hills proud men shall ride

No horse or ass move by his side.

Beneath the water, men shall walk

Shall ride, shall sleep, shall even talk.

And in the air men shall be seen

In white and black and even green

A great man then, shall come and go

For prophecy declares it so.

In water, iron, then shall float

As easy as a wooden boat

Gold shall be seen in stream and stone

In land that is yet unknown.

And England shall admit a Jew

You think this strange, but it is true

The Jew that once was held in scorn

Shall of a Christian then be born.

A house of glass shall come to pass

In England. But Alas, alas

A war will follow with the work

Where dwells the Pagan and the Turk

These states will lock in fiercest strife

And seek to take each others life.

When North shall thus divide the south

And Eagle build in Lions mouth

Then tax and blood and cruel war

Shall come to every humble door.

Three times shall lovely sunny France

Be led to play a bloody dance

Before the people shall be free

Three tyrant rulers shall she see.

Three rulers in succession be

Each springs from different dynasty.

Then when the fiercest strife is done

England and France shall be as one.

The British olive shall next then twine

In marriage with a german vine.

Men walk beneath and over streams

Fulfilled shall be their wondrous dreams.

For in those wondrous far off days

The women shall adopt a craze

To dress like men, and trousers wear

And to cut off their locks of hair

They'll ride astride with brazen brow

As witches do on broomstick now.

And roaring monsters with man atop

Does seem to eat the verdant crop

And men shall fly as birds do now

And give away the horse and plough.

There'll be a sign for all to see

Be sure that it will certain be.

Then love shall die and marriage cease

And nations wane as babes decrease

And wives shall fondle cats and dogs

And men live much the same as hogs.

In nineteen hundred and twenty six

Build houses light of straw and sticks.

For then shall mighty wars be planned

And fire and sword shall sweep the land.

When pictures seem alive with movements free

When boats like fishes swim beneath the sea,

When men like birds shall scour the sky

Then half the world, deep drenched in blood shall die.

For those who live the century through

In fear and trembling this shall do.

Flee to the mountains and the dens

To bog and forest and wild fens.

For storms will rage and oceans roar

When Gabriel stands on sea and shore

And as he blows his wondrous horn

Old worlds die and new be born.

A fiery dragon will cross the sky

Six times before this earth shall die

Mankind will tremble and frightened be

for the sixth heralds in this prophecy.

For seven days and seven nights

Man will watch this awesome sight.

The tides will rise beyond their ken

To bite away the shores and then

The mountains will begin to roar

And earthquakes split the plain to shore.

And flooding waters, rushing in

Will flood the lands with such a din

That mankind cowers in muddy fen

And snarls about his fellow men.

He bares his teeth and fights and kills

And secrets food in secret hills

And ugly in his fear, he lies

To kill marauders, thieves and spies.

Man flees in terror from the floods

And kills, and rapes and lies in blood

And spilling blood by mankinds hands

Will stain and bitter many lands

And when the dragon's tail is gone,

Man forgets, and smiles, and carries on

To apply himself - too late, too late

For mankind has earned deserved fate.

His masked smile - his false grandeur,

Will serve the Gods their anger stir.

And they will send the Dragon back

To light the sky - his tail will crack

Upon the earth and rend the earth

And man shall flee, King, Lord, and serf.

But slowly they are routed out

To seek diminishing water spout

And men will die of thirst before

The oceans rise to mount the shore.

And lands will crack and rend anew

You think it strange. It will come true.

And in some far off distant land

Some men - oh such a tiny band

Will have to leave their solid mount

And span the earth, those few to count,

Who survives this (unreadable) and then

Begin the human race again.

But not on land already there

But on ocean beds, stark, dry and bare

Not every soul on Earth will die

As the Dragons tail goes sweeping by.

Not every land on earth will sink

But these will wallow in stench and stink

Of rotting bodies of beast and man

Of vegetation crisped on land.

But the land that rises from the sea

Will be dry and clean and soft and free

Of mankinds dirt and therefore be

The source of man's new dynasty.

And those that live will ever fear

The dragons tail for many year

But time erases memory

You think it strange. But it will be.

And before the race is built anew

A silver serpent comes to view

And spew out men of like unknown

To mingle with the earth now grown

Cold from its heat and these men can

Enlighten the minds of future man.

To intermingle and show them how

To live and love and thus endow

The children with the second sight.

A natural thing so that they might

Grow graceful, humble and when they do

The Golden Age will start anew.

The dragon's tail is but a sign

For mankind's fall and man's decline.

And before this prophecy is done

I shall be burned at the stake, at one

My body singed and my soul set free

You think I utter blasphemy

You're wrong. These things have come to me

This prophecy will come to be.

These verses were on the outer wrapping of the scrolls

I know I go - I know I'm free I know that this will come to be.

Secreted this - for this will be Found by later dynasty

A dairy maid, a bonny lass

Shall kick this stone as she does pass

And five generations she shall breed

Before one male child does learn to read.

This is then held year by year

Till an iron monster trembling fear eats parchment, words and quill and ink

And mankind is given time to think.

And only when this comes to be

Will mankind read this prophecy

But one mans sweets anothers bane

So I shall not have burned in vain.

This section was kept apart from the other and it appears to have been written together yet was in a separate jar...

The signs will be there for all to read

When man shall do most heinous deed

Man will ruin kinder lives

By taking them as to their wives.

And murder foul and brutal deed

When man will only think of greed.

And man shall walk as if asleep

He does not look - he many not peep

And iron men the tail shall do

And iron cart and carriage too.

The kings shall false promise make

And talk just for talkings sake

And nations plan horrific war

The like as never seen before

And taxes rise and lively down

And nations wear perpetual frown.

Yet greater sign there be to see

As man nears latter century

Three sleeping mountains gather breath

And spew out mud, and ice and death.

And earthquakes swallow town and town,

In lands as yet to me unknown.

And christian one fights christian two

And nations sigh, yet nothing do

And yellow men great power gain

From mighty bear with whom they've lain.

These mighty tyrants will fail to do

They fail to split the world in two.

But from their acts a danger bred

An ague - leaving many dead.

And physics find no remedy

For this is worse than leprosy.

Oh many signs for all to see

The truth of this true prophecy.

How much of Mother Shipton's life and work is a fact or myth is anyone's guess. Words of prophecy are in effect myths waiting to be debunked by future realities so who knows, take it for what you will. These words have been with us for over 500 years now. THAT is a fact.

"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."

Luke 21:25-26

Myrddin Wyllt Prophecies (or Legends)

The scales of Libra will hang awry until Aries props them up with its curving horns.

The tail of Scorpio shall generate lightning, and Cancer will fight with the Sun.

Virgo shall climb on back of Sagittarius and so let droop its maiden blossoms.

The Moons chariot shall run amok in the Zodiac; the Pleiades will burst into tears. None of these will return to the duty expected of it.

Ariadne will shut its door and be hidden within its enclosing cloud banks.

In the twinkling of an eye the seas shall rise up, and the arena of the winds shall be opened once again. The winds shall do battle together with a blast of ill-omen, making their din reverberate from one constellation to another.

Merlin saith that in England shall be seen strange things, as preaching of traitors, great rain and wind, great hunger among the common people, great oppression of blood, great imprisonment of many men and great battle; so that there shall be few or no quiet place to abide in; the Prince shall forsake men of the church, Lords shall forsake righteousness, counsel of the aged shall not be set by; religious men and women shall be thrust out of their houses; the common people for fear shall not know which way to turn; parents shall be hated by their children, men of worship shall have no reverence of others; adultery shall abound among all; with more ill than I can tell of, from which God us defend." [From Sunday Prophecies of Merlin, Becket, and Others, Author Unknown, published in London in 1652.]

"Luxury shall overspread the land, and fornication shall not cease to debauch mankind. Famine shall then return, and the inhabitants shall grieve for the destruction of their cities. In those days the oaks of the forests shall burn, and acorns grow upon lime trees! The Severn sea shall discharge itself through seven mouths, and the river Usk burn for seven months! Fishes shall die in the heat thereof, and from them serpents will be born."

The baths of Badon [hot springs of Bath] shall grow cold, and their salubrious waters engender death! London shall mourn for the death of twenty thousand, and the river Thames shall be turned to blood! The monks in the cowls shall be forced to marry, and their cry shall be heard upon the mountains of the Alps."

"The seas shall rise up in the twinkling of an eye, and the dust of the ancients shall be restored." [From The History of the Kings of Britain, The Prophecies of Merlin by Geoffrey of Monmouth.]

The cult of religion shall be destroyed completely, and the ruin of the churches shall be clear for all to see. The race that is oppressed shall prevail in the end, for it will resist the savagery of the invaders.

The Boar of Cornwall shall bring relief from these invaders, for it will trample the necks beneath its feet. The islands of the Ocean shall be given into the power of the Boar, and it shall lord it over the forests of Gaul. The House of Romulus shall dread the Boar's savagery, and the end of the Boar will be shrouded in mystery. The Boar shall be extolled in the mouths of its peoples, and its deeds will be as meat and drink to those who tell tales.

Six of the Boar's descendants shall hold the sceptre after it, and next after them will rise up the German Worm. The Sea-wolf shall exalt the Worm, and the forests of Africa shall be committed to its care.

Religion shall be destroyed a second time and the sees of the primates will be moved to other places. London's high dignity shall adorn Durobernia, and the seventh pastor of York will be visited in the realm of Armorica.

Menevia shall be dressed in the pall of the City of the Legions, and the preacher from Ireland shall be struck dumb by a child still growing in the womb.

A shower of blood shall fall, and a dire famine shall afflict mankind. The Red One will grieve for what has happened, but after an immense effort it will regain its strength.

Calamity will next pursue the White One, and the buildings in its little garden will be torn down.

Seven who hold the sceptre shall perish, one of them being canonised. The bellies of mothers shall be cut open, and babies will be born prematurely.

Men will suffer most grievously, in order that those born in the country may regain power. He who will achieve these things shall appear as the Man of Bronze, and for long years he shall guard the gates of London upon a brazen horse.

Then the Red Dragon will revert to its true habits and struggle to tear itself to pieces. Next will come the revenge of the Thunderer, and every one of the farmer's fields will be a disappointment.

Death will lay hold of the people and destroy all the nations. Those who are left alive will abandon their native soil and will sow their seeds in the fields of others. A king who is blessed will fit out a navy and will be reckoned the twelfth in the court among the saints. The realm shall be deserted in the most pitiful way, and the harvest threshing floors will be overgrown once more by forests rich in fruit. Once again the White Dragon shall rise up and will invite over a daughter of Germany. Our little garden will be stocked again with foreign seed, and the Red Dragon will pine away at the far end of the pool. After that the German Worm shall be crowned, and the Prince of brass will be buried.

limit was set for him, beyond which he was powerless to pass. For a hundred and fifty years he shall remain in anguish and subjection, and then for three hundred more he shall sit enthroned. The North Wind will rise against him, snatching away the flowers which the West Wind has caused to bloom. There will be gilding in the temples, but the sword's cutting edge will not cease its work. The German Dragon will find it hard to escape to its cavernous lairs, for vengeance for its treason will overtake it. In the end it will become strong again just for a short time, but the decimation of Normandy will be a sorry blow. There shall come people dressed in wood and in iron corselets who will take vengeance on it for its wickedness. This people shall give their dwelling back to the earlier inhabitants, and the destruction of foreigners will be clear for all to see.

The seed of the White Dragon shall be rooted up from our little gardens and what is left of its progeny shall be decimated. They shall bear the yoke of perpetual slavery, and they will wound their own mother with their spades and ploughshares. Two more Dragons shall follow, one of which shall be killed by the sting of envy, but the second will return under the cover of authority.

The Lion of Justice shall come next, and at its roar the towers of Gaul shall shake and the island Dragons tremble. In the days of this Lion, gold shall be squeezed from the lily-Bower and the nettle, and silver shall flow from the hooves of lowing cattle.

They who have had their hair waved shall dress in woolen stuffs of many colours, and the outer garment shall be an index of the thoughts within. The feet of they that bark shall be cut. Wild animals shall enjoy peace, but mankind will bewail the way in which it is being punished. The balance of trade shall be tom in half; and the half that is left shall be rounded off. Kites will lose their ravenous hunger, and the teeth of wolves will be blunted. The Lion's cubs shall be transformed into salt-water fishes, and the Eagle of Mount Aravia shall nest upon a summit.

Venedotia shall be red with the blood of mothers, and the house of Corineus will slaughter six brothers. The island will lie sodden with the tears of the night-time, and everyone will be encouraged to try to do everything. Those who are born later shall strive to fly over even the most lofty things, but the favour given to the newcomers will be loftier even than that.

Piety will frown upon the man who has inherited goods from the impious; that is, until he takes his style of dress from his own father. Girded around with a wild boar's teeth, he shall climb over the mountain summits and higher than the shadow of the Helmeted Man.

Albany will be angry: calling her near neighbours to her, she shall give herself entirely to bloodshed. Between her jaws there will be found a bit which was forged in the Bay of Armorica. The eagle of the Broken Covenant shall paint it with gold and will rejoice in her third nesting.

The cubs shall roar as they keep watch; they will forsake the forest groves and come hunting inside the walls of cities. They will cause great slaughter among any who oppose them, and the tongues of bulls shall they slice off. They shall load with chains the necks of the roaring ones and live again the days of their forefathers. Thereafter, from the first to the fourth, from the fourth to the third, from the third to the second shall the thumb be rolled in oil.

The sixth shall throw down the walls of Ireland and transmute its forests into a level plain. The sixth shall unite the different parts into one whole, and he shall be crowned with the head of a lion.

His beginning will yield to his own unstable disposition, but his end shall soar up towards those on high. He shall restore the dwellings of the saints throughout the lands and settle the pastors in places which befit them.

Two towns shall he cover with funeral palls and to virgins he will present virgin gifts. By doing this he will earn the favour of the Thunderer, and he will be placed among the blessed. From him there will emerge a She-lynx, and this will nose its way into all things and strive for the downfall of its own race. Because of the She-lynx Normandy will lose both its isles and be deprived of its former dignity. Then the island's inhabitants shall return to it, for a great dissension will arise among the foreigners.

A hoary old man upon a mow-white horse shall divert the River Periron, and above the stream he will measure out a mill with his white rod. Cadwallader shall summon Conanus and shall make an alliance with Albany. Then the foreigners shall be slaughtered, and the rivers will run with blood.

The mountains of Armorica shall erupt, and Armorica itself shall be crowned with Brutus' diadem. Kambria shall be filled with joy, and the Cornish oaks shall flourish. The island shall be called by the name of Brutus, and the title given to it by the foreigners shall be done away with. From Conanus there shall descend a fierce Boar, which will try the sharpness of its tusks in the forests of Gaul, for it will lop down all the larger oak trees, taking care to protect the smaller ones.

The Arabs shall dread this Boar and so shall the Africans, for the impetus of its onslaught will carry it into the remotest parts of Spain. Next after the Boar shall come the Ram of the Castle of Venus, with golden horns and a beard of silver.

It will breathe such a fog from its nostrils that the entire surface of the island will be overshadowed by it. In the days of the Ram there shall be peace, and the harvests will be plentiful because of the richness of the soil. Women shall become snake-like in their gait, and every step they take will be full arrogance.

The Castle of Venus will be restored, and Cupid's arrows will continue to wound. The source of the River Amne shall turn into blood, and two kings will fight each other at the Ford of the Staff for the sake of a Lioness. All the soil will be fruitful beyond mans need; and human beings will fornicate unceasingly.

Three generations will witness all that I have mentioned, and then the kings buried in the town of London will be disinterred. Famine will return, and death, and citizens will grieve for their townships. The Boar of Commerce shall come and call back the scattered flocks to the feeding ground which they have forsaken. Its breast will be as food to the hungry, and its tongue will assuage the thirst of those who are dry. From its mouth shall flow forth rivers which will water the parched gullets of men.

Then a Tree shall spring up on the top of the Tower of London. It will be content with only three branches, and yet it will overshadow the whole length and breadth of the island with the spread of its leaves. The North Wind will come as the Tree's enemy, and with its noxious breath it will tear away the third of the branches.

The two branches which are left will occupy the place of the one ripped off: this until one of them destroys the other by the very abundance of its leaves. This last branch will fill the place of the other two, and it will offer a roosting place to birds come from foreign parts. To birds native to the country it will seem harmful, for through their dread of its shadow they will lose their power of free flight. The Ass of Wickedness will come next, swift against the goldsmiths, but slow against the wolves' ravenous appetites. In these days the oaks shall burn in the forest glades, and acorns shall burgeon on the lime trees' boughs.

The Severn Sea shall flow forth through seven mouths, and the River Usk shall be boiling hot for seven months. Its fish will die because of the heat, and from them serpents will be born. The baths shall grow cold at Bath, and its health-giving waters shall breed death. London shall mourn the death of twenty thousand, and the Thames will be turned into blood. Monks in their cowls shall be forced into marriage, and their lamentation will be heard on the mountain peaks of the Alps.

Three springs shall burst forth in the town of Winchester, and the streams which run from them will divide the island into three parts. Whoever will drink from the first will enjoy long life and will never be afflicted by the onslaught of illness. Whoever will drink from the second shall perish from insatiable hunger: pallor and dread will be clear to see on his face.

Whoever will drink from the third shall die a sudden death. And it will not be possible for his body to be buried. In their effort to avoid so voracious a death, fit men will do their best to cover it over from layers of different materials, but whatever structure is placed on top will immediately take on the form of another substance. As soon as they are placed there, earth will be turned to stones, stones to liquid, wood into ashes, ashes into water.

However from a town in Canutes forest, a girl shall be sent to remedy these matters by her healing art. Once she has consulted all the oracles, she shall dry up the noxious springs simply by breathing on them.

Next, when she has restored her own strength by some invigorating drink, she shall carry the Forest of Caledon in her right hand, and in her left the buttressed forts of the walls of London. Wherever she passes she shall leave sulphurous footprints which will reek with a double flame.

The smoke from them will stir up the Ruteni and will provide food for the creatures who live in the sea. Tears of compassion shall flow from her eyes and will fill the island with her dreadful cries. He that will kill her shall be a stag of ten tines, four of which will bear golden coronets; the other six will be turned into the horns of oxen, and these horns will rouse the three islands of Britain with their accursed bellowing.

The Daneian Forest shall be wakened from its sleep and, burst into human speech, it shall shout, "Kambria, come here; bring Cornwall at your side! Say to Winchester, 'The earth will swallow you up. Move the see of your shepherd to where the ships come in to harbour.

Then make sure that the limbs which remain follow the head! The day approaches when your citizens will perish for their crime of perjury. The whiteness of your wool done you harm, and so too has the variety of their dye. Woe to the perjured people, for their famous city shall come toppling down because of them! The ships shall rejoice at such a great increase, and each one of them will be constructed out of the material of two. A Hedgehog loaded with apples shall rebuild the town and, attracted by the smell of these apples, birds will flock there from many different forests. The hedgehog shall build a huge palace and then wall it round with six hundred towers. London will view this with envy and will increase her own fortifications threefold.

The River Thames will surround London on all sides, and the report of that engineering feat will cross the Alps. The Hedgehog will hide its apples inside Winchester and will construct hidden passages under the earth. In that time the stones shall speak.

The sea over which men sail to Gaul shall be contracted into a narrow channel. A man on any one of the two shores will be audible to a man on the other, and the land mass of the island will grow greater. The secrets of the creatures who live under the sea shall be revealed, and Gaul will tremble for fear. Next a Heron shall emerge from the Forest of Calaterium and fly around the island for two whole years. By its cry in the night it will call all winged creatures together and assemble in its company every genus of bird.

They will swoop down on to the fields which men have cultivated and devour every kind of harvest.

A famine will attack the people, and an appalling death rate will follow the famine. As soon as this terrible calamity has come to an end, the accursed Bird will transfer its attention to the Calabes Valley and rise it up into a lofty mountain.

On its highest peak the heron will plant in an oak, and on the branches of the oak it shall build its nest; three eggs shall be laid in the nest, and from them will emerge a Fox, a Wolf, and a Bear.

The Fox will devour its mother and then put on an Ass's head. Once it has assumed this monstrous guise, it will terrify its brothers and drive them away to Normandy. In that country they will in their turn stir up the tusky Boar.

Back they will come in a boat, and in that way they will meet the Fox once more. As it begins the contest, the Fox will pretend that it is dead and will move the Boar to pity. Soon the Boar will go up to the Fox's corpse. and, standing over it, will breathe into its eyes and face.

The Fox, not unmindful of its ancient cunning, will bite the Boars left hoof and sever it completely from the Boars body.

Then the Fox will leap at the Boar and tear off its right ear and its tail and slink off to hide in the mountain caves. The deluded Boar will then ask the Wolf and the Bear to restore to it the parts which it has lost.

Once they have agreed to support the Boar, they will promise it two feet, two ears and one tail, from which they will manufacture a truly porcine member.

The Boar will agree to this and will stand waiting for the promised return of its parts.

Meanwhile the Fox will come down from the mountains and will metamorphose itself into a Wolf. Under the pretense of holding a conference with the Bear, it will approach that animal craftily and eat it up.

Then the Fox will change itself into a Boar and stand waiting for its brothers, pretending that it, too, has lost some of its members. As soon as they come, it will kill them with its tusk without a moments delay and then have itself crowned with a Lion's head.

In the days of the Fox, a Snake shall be born, and this will bring death to human beings. It will encircle London with its long tail and devour all there who pass by.

A Mountain Ox will put on a Wolf's head and grind its teeth white in the Severn's workshop.

The Ox will collect round itself the flocks of Albany and those of Wales, and their company will drain the Thames dry as it drinks.

An Ass shall call to itself a long-bearded Goat and then will change shapes with it. As a result the Mountain Bull will lose its temper: it will summon the Wolf and then transfix the Ass and the Goat with its horn. Once it has indulged its savage rage upon them, it will eat up their flesh and their bones, but the Ox itself will be burned up on the summit of Urianus.

The ashes of its funeral pyre shall be transmuted into swans, which will swim away upon dry land as though in water. These Swans will eat up fish inside fish and they will swallow men inside men. When they grow old they will take the shape of sea-wolves and continue their treacherous behaviour beneath the sea. They will sink ships and gather together quite a treasure house of silver.

Then the Thames shall begin to flow again. It will gather together its tributaries and overflow the confines of its bed. It will submerge nearby towns and overturn the mountains in its course. It will join to itself to the Springs of Calabes, filled as they are to the very brim with wickedness and deceit.

As a result, a number of mutinies will occur, and these will encourage the Venedoti to make war. The oaks of the forest shall band together and come into conflict with the rocks of the Gewissei.

A Raven will fly down with the Kites and eat up the bodies of the dead. An Owl will nest on the walls of Gloucester, and in its nest will be hatched an Ass.

T he Snake of Malvern will nurture this Ass and teach it many deceitful tricks. The Ass will put on a crown and then clamber above all that is most lofty and terrify the people with its hideous braying.

In the days of the Ass the Pacaian Mountains shall totter, and the country districts shall be deprived of their forest lands, for there shall come a Worm which will puff forth fire, and this Worm will burn up the trees with the breath which it exhales.

Out of the Worm shall come seven lions malformed with goats heads. With the fetid breath from their nostrils, they will corrupt married women and cause wives so far faithful to one husband to become common prostitutes.

The father shall not know his own son, for human beings will copulate wantonly as cattle do. Then indeed shall come a very Giant of wickedness who will terrify everyone with the piercing glance of his eyes. Against him will arise the dragon of Worcester, which will do its best to destroy him; but when they come to grips, the Dragon will be worsted and overwhelmed by its conqueror's wickedness, which will terrify everyone.

The Giant will climb on the Dragon, throw off all his clothes, and then ride upon it naked. The Dragon will rear the Giant up in the air and lash his naked body with its erected tail, but the Giant will recover his strength and cut the Dragons throat with his sword.

Finally, the Dragon will become entangled in its own tail and die of poison.

The boar of Totnes shall succeed the Giant and will oppress the people with grievous tyranny. Gloucester shall send a lion which will harass the raging Boar in a series of battles. This Lion will trample the Boar under foot and terrify it with its open maw. Finally the Lion will be at odds with all in the kingdom and climb up on the backs of the nobles.

A Bull will pursue the Lion through all the narrow byways of the kingdom, but in the end it will break its horns against the walls of Oxford. The Fox of Caerdubalum will wreak vengeance on the Lion and tear it up with its teeth. Then the Adder of Lincoln will coil round the Fox and announce its presence to the assembled Dragon with a terrifying hiss.

The Dragons will attack each other and tear each other to pieces.

A Dragon with wings will overwhelm the Dragon without wings, driving its venomous claws into the others muzzle. Two more Dragons will join the battle, and the one will kill the other. A fifth Dragon will replace the two dead ones and will destroy the two left alive by various stratagems.

It will climb on the back of one, holding a sword in its claws, and hack its head away from its body. Then it will cast its slough and climb on the second one with its opponent's tail in its right and left claws.

Naked, it will overwhelm the other; when fully covered, it will achieve nothing. It will torment other Dragons by climbing on their backs and will drive them round the kingdom.

Then a roaring Lion will intervene, terrifying in its monstrous cruelty. This Lion will reduce fifteen portions to a single entity, and by itself it will hold the people in its power. A Giant, snow-white in colour and gleaming bright, will beget a radiant people.

Soft living will enervate the leaders, and those under their command will be changed into beasts. In their number will arise a Lion, fat with human blood. A Man with a Sickle will act as the Lion's helper in the harvest, but when the man is perplexed in his mind, the Lion will destroy him.

The Charioteer of York will soothe the people. He will throw his master out and climb up into the chariot which he is driving. He will draw his sword and threaten the East, and he will fill with blood the ruts made by his wheels. Next he will turn himself into a Sea-fish and mate with a Snake which has attracted him by its hissing.

As a result, there shall be born three Bulls, which will glitter like lightning. They will eat up their pasture lands and then be turned into trees.

The first Bull will carry a whip made of vipers, and it will turn its back on the one born second. The second Bull will struggle to snatch the whip from the first, but the whip will be seized by the third. They will avert their gaze from each other until they have thrown away the poison cup.

A Farmer from Albany shall take their place, and down his back a Snake shall hang. He will spend his time ploughing the earth, so that the harvests of his homeland may grow white, but the Snake will busy itself in scattering poison to prevent the green corn from ever coming to harvest.

The population shall decrease through some deadly calamity, and the walls of the towns will come tumbling down. The City of Claudius will be proposed as a source of remedy, and this city will put forward the Foster-daughter of the Scourger. She shall come bearing a saucer of medicine, and in next to no time the island will be restored.

Two men shall hold the sceptre, one after the other, and a Horned Dragon will serve them both. The first man will come clad in iron and riding upon a flying Serpent. He will sit astride its back, with his body naked, and he will grasp its tail in his right hand.

The seas will be made turbulent by his cry, and he will strike terror into the second man. As a result, the second man will make an alliance with a Lion, but a quarrel will ensue, and they will fight. Each of the two will suffer greatly from the other's blows, but the animal's ferocity will enable it to win.

A man shall come with a drum and a lute, and he will soothe the Lions savageness. The various peoples in the kingdom will be pacified as a result, and they will encourage the Lion to take the saucer of medicine. As it sits in the dwelling allocated to it, it will examine the dose, but it will stretch out its hand toward Albany.

The regions of the north will be saddened by this, and they will throw open the gates of their temples.

A Wolf will act as standard bearer, and it will coil its tail round Cornwall. A soldier in a chariot will resist the Wolf and transform the Cornish people into a Boar. As a result the Boar will devastate the provinces, but it will hide its head in the depths of the Severn.

A man shall wrestle with a drunken Lion, and the gleam of gold will blind the eyes of the onlookers. Silver will shine white in the open space, causing trouble to a number of wine presses.

Men will become drunk with the wine which is offered to them; they will turn their backs on Heaven and fix their eyes on the Earth.

The stars will avert their gaze from these men and alter their accustomed course.

The harvests will dry up through the stars anger, and all moisture from the sky will cease.

Roots and branches shall change their places, and the oddness of this will pass for a miracle.

Before the amber glow of Mercury the bright light of the Sun shall grow dim, and this will strike horror into those who witness it. The planet Mercury, born in Arcady, shall change its shield, and the Helmet of Mars shall call to Venus.

The Helmet of Mars shall cast a shadow, and in rage Mercury shall overrun its orbit.

Iron Orion shall bare its sword.

The watery Sun shall torment the clouds. Jupiter shall abandon its preordained paths, and Venus desert its appointed circuits.

The malice of the planet Saturn will pour down like rain, killing mortal men as though with a curved sickle.

The twelve mansions of the stars will weep to see their inmates transgress so.

The Gemini will cease their wanton embraces and will dispatch Aquarius to the fountains.

On August 20, 1994 a white buffalo was born, in the U.S., a significant event in terms of being a fullfillment of native American prophecy. The White Buffalo is prophecied to herald the coming of a native american Messiah who will return to the American Indians their former lands. A female, it was named Miracle who died in 2004 at the age of 10. A second was born in 1996 but died after three days. A third white buffalo, a newborn male, was born in late August of 2006.

The white buffalo is particularly sacred to the Cheyenne, Sioux and other nomadic tribes of the Northern Plains that once relied on the buffalo for subsistence.

That this latest birth is a male doesn't make it any less significant in American Indian prophecies, which say that such an animal will reunite all the races of man and restore balance to the world, Hand said. He said the buffalo's coat will change from white to black, red and yellow, the colors of the various races of man, before turning brown again.

The birth of a white male buffalo means men need to take responsibility for their families and the future of the tribe. The odds of a white buffalo are at least 1 in a million. Buffalo in general have been rare for years, thought their numbers are increasing, with some 250,000 now in the U.S. Many people, choose to raise the animals for their meat, which is considered a healthier, low-fat alternative to beef. Tribal elders will help interpret the animal's significance.

Spirit Mountain Ranch in Flagstaff, Arizona has successfully bred two generations of white buffalo starting from a single white female, all with brown fathers.

Miracle Moon (female, born April 30, 1997)
Rainbow Spirit (female, born June 8, 2000, calf of Miracle Moon)
Mandela Peace Pilgrim (female, born July 18, 2001, calf of Miracle Moon)
Arizona Spirit (male, born July 1, 2002, calf of Miracle Moon)
Sunrise Spirit (female, born May 22, 2004, calf of Mandela Peace Pilgrim)
Spirit Thunder (male, born May 27, 2004, calf of Rainbow Spirit)
Chief Hiawatha (male, born May 16, 2005, calf of Miracle Moon)

To the Native Americans the birth of a white buffalo is a symbol of rebirth and world harmony

One summer, long ago, the seven sacred council fires of the Lakota Oyate, the nation, came together and camped. Every day they sent scouts to look for game, but the scouts found nothing, and the people were starving.

Among the bands assembled were the Itazipcho, the Without-Bows, who had their own camp circle under their chief, Standing Hollow Horn. Early one morning the chief sent two of his young men to hunt for game. They searched everywhere but could find nothing. Seeing a high hill, they decided to climb it in order to look over the whole country. Halfway up, they saw something coming toward them from far off, but the figure was floating instead of walking. From this they knew that the person was wakan, holy.

At first they could make out only a small moving speck and had to squint to see that it was a human form. But as it came nearer, they realized that it was a beautiful young woman, more beautiful than any they had ever seen. She wore a wonderful white buckskin outfit, tanned until it shone a long way in the sun. It was embroidered with sacred and marvelous designs of porcupine quill, in radiant colors no ordinary woman could have made. This wakan stranger was Ptesan-Wi, White Buffalo Calf Woman. In her hands she carried a large bundle and a fan of sage leaves. She wore her hair loose except for a strand at the left side, which was tied up with buffalo fur. Her eyes shone dark and sparkling, with great power in them.

The two young men looked at her open-mouthed. One was overawed, but the other desired her and stretched his hand out to touch her. This woman was Lila wakan, very sacred, and could not be treated with disrespect. Lightning instantly struck the brash young man and burned him up, so that only a small heap of blackened bones was left.

To the other scout who had behaved rightly, the White Buffalo Calf Woman said: "Good things I am bringing, something holy to your nation. A message I carry for your people from the buffalo nation. Go back to the camp and tell the people to prepare for my arrival. Tell your chief to put up a medicine lodge with twenty-four poles. Let it be made holy for my coming."

This young hunter returned to the camp. He told the chief, and the people, what the sacred woman had commanded. So the people put up the big medicine tipi and waited. After four days they saw the White Buffalo Calf Woman approaching, carrying her bundle before her. Her wonderful white buckskin dress shone from afar. The chief, Standing Hollow Horn, invited her to enter the medicine lodge. She went in and circled the interior sunrise. The chief addressed her respectfully, saying: "Sister, we are glad you have come to instruct us."

She told him what she wanted done. In the center of the tipi they were to put up an owanka wakan, a sacred altar, made of red earth, with a buffalo skull and a three-stick rack for a holy thing she was bringing. They did what she directed, and she traced a design with her finger on the smoothed earth of the altar. She showed them how to do all this, then circled the lodge again sunwise. Halting before the chief, she now opened the bundle. The holy thing it contained was the chanunpa, the sacred pipe. She held it out to the people and let them look at it. She was grasping the stem with her right hand and the bowl with her left, and thus the pipe has been held ever since.

Again the chief spoke, saying: "Sister, we are glad. We have had no meat for some time. All we can give you is water." They dipped some wacanga, sweet grass, into a skin bag of water and gave it to her, and to this day the people dip sweet grass or an eagle wing in water and sprinkle it on a person to be purified.

The White Buffalo Calf Woman showed the people how to use the pipe. She filled it with chan-shasha, red willow-bark tobacco. She walked around the lodge four times after the manner of Anpetu-Wi, the great sun. This represented the circle without end, the sacred hoop, the road of life. The woman placed a dry buffalo chip on the fire and lit the pipe with it. This was peta-owihankeshni, the fire without end, the flame to be passed on from generation to generation.

She told them that the smoke rising from the bowl was Tunkashila's breath, the living breath of the great Grandfather Mystery.

The White Buffalo Calf Woman showed the people the right way to pray, the right words and the right gestures. She taught them how to sing the pipe-filling song and how to lift the pipe up to the sky, toward Grandfather, and down toward Grandmother Earth, to Unci, and then to the four directions of the universe.

"With this holy pipe," she said, "you will walk like a living prayer. With your feet resting upon the earth and the pipe stem reaching into the sky, your body forms a living bridge between the Sacred Beneath and the Sacred Above. Wakan Tanka smiles upon us, because now we are as one: earth, sky, all living things, the two-legged, the four-legged, the winged ones, the trees, the grasses.

Together with the people, they are all related, one family. The pipe holds them all together.

"Look at this bowl," said the White Buffalo Calf Woman. "Its stone represents the buffalo, but also the flesh and blood of the red man. The buffalo represents the universe and the four directions, because he stands on four legs, for the four ages of creation. The buffalo was put in the west by Wakan Tanka at the making of the world, to hold back the waters.

Every year he loses one hair, and in every one of the four ages he loses a leg. The sacred hoop will end when all the hair and legs of the great buffalo are gone, and the water comes back to cover Mother Earth.

The wooden stem of this chanunpa stands for all that grows on the Earth. Twelve feathers hanging from where the stem - the backbone - joins the bowl - the skull - are from Wanblee Galeshka, the spotted eagle, the very sacred bird who is the Great Spirit's messenger and the wisest of all flying ones.

You are joined to all things of the universe, for they all cry out to Tunkashila. Look at the bowl: engraved in it are seven circles of various sizes. They stand for the seven sacred ceremonies you will practice with this pipe, and for the Oceti Shakowin, the seven sacred campfires of our Lakota nation."

The White Buffalo Calf Woman then spoke to the women, telling them that it was the work of their hands and the fruit of their bodies which kept the people alive. "You are from Mother Earth," she told them. "What you are doing is as great as what the warriors do."

And therefore the sacred pipe is also something that binds men and women together in a circle of love. It is the one holy object in the making of which both men and women have a hand.

The men carve the bowl and make the stem; the women decorate it with bands of colored porcupine quills. When a man takes a wife, they both hold the pipe at the same time and red trade cloth is wound around their hands, thus tying them together for life.

The White Buffalo Calf Woman also talked to the children, because they have an understanding beyond their years. She told them that what their fathers and mothers did was for them, that their parents could remember being little once, and that they, the children, would grow up to have little ones of their own.

She told them: "You are the coming generation, that's why you are the most important and precious ones. Some day you will hold this pipe and smoke it. Some day you will pray with it."

She spoke once more to all the people: "The pipe is alive; it is a red being showing you a red life and a red road. And this is the first ceremony for which you will use the pipe. You will use it to keep the soul of a dead person, because through it you can talk to Wakan Tanka, the Great Mysterious. The day a human dies is always a sacred day. The day when the soul is released to the Great Spirit is another."

She spoke one last time to Standing Hollow Horn, the chief, saying, "Remember: this pipe is very sacred. Respect it and it will take you to the end of the road. The four ages of creation are in me. I will come to see you in every generation cycle. I shall come back to you."

The sacred woman then took leave of the people, saying: "Toksha ake wacinyanktin ktelo -- I shall see you again."

The people saw her walking off in the same direction from which she had come, outlined against the red ball of the setting sun. As she went, she stopped and rolled over four times. The first time, she turned into a black buffalo; the second into a brown one; the third into a red one; and finally, the fourth time she rolled over, she turned into a white buffalo calf. A white buffalo is the most sacred living thing you could ever encounter.

The White Buffalo Calf Woman disappeared over the horizon. As soon as she had vanished, buffalo in great herds appeared, allowing themselves to be killed so that the people might survive. And from that day on, our relations, the buffalo, furnished the people with everything they need -- meat for their food, skins for their clothes and tipi1s, and bones for their many tools.

Red Heifer in Judiasm

In Judaism, the red heifer (Hebrew parah adumah) is a heifer that is sacrificed and whose ashes are used for the ritual purification of people who came into contact with a corpse. A heifer is a young cow before she has had her first calf.

In the Bible: According to Numbers 19:2: Speak unto the Children of Israel that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke. The animals will not have hairs of any other color, it must be in perfect health, and it must never have been used to perform work. The cow is then brought to an altar built to the east of the Temple Mount, where it is slaughtered and burned. Cedar wood, hyssop, and scarlet are added to the fire, and the remaining ash is placed in a vessel containing pure water. In order to purify a person who has become ritually contaminated by contact with a corpse, water from the vessel is sprinkled on him, using a bunch of hyssop, on the third and seventh day after the contamination took place (Numbers 19:19). The priests who have performed the ritual then become impure themselves.

March 2002 - a red heifer was born in Israel. The heifer's owner contacted the Temple Institute on Friday, April 5th, 2002. Rabbi Menachem Makover and Rabbi Chaim Richman traveled to the farm where the heifer lives to inspect and validate her status. The rabbis found her to be kosher and were satisfied that this heifer could indeed be a candidate to be used in the process of purification described in the book of Numbers, chapter 19. This is a prerequisite for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple. Tradition records that a red heifer in our generation is a herald of the Messianic era. It is certainly an important development towards the rebuilding of the Holy Temple. Our sages taught that Israel's redemption can be compared to the dawn. "In the beginning, it progresses very slowly...but as it continues, it grows brighter and brighter."

My stand is clear;
produce to distribute,
feed before you eat,
give before you take,
think of others, before you think of yourself.

Only a selfless society based on sharing
can be stable and happy.
This is the only practical solution.
If you do not want it - then fight.

Recognizing and Becoming A Self-Actualized Individual

Realistic

Realistically oriented, a Self-Actualizing (SA) person has a more efficient perception of reality, and has comfortable relations with it. This is extended to all areas of life. A Self-Actualizing person is unthreatened and unfrightened by the unknown. He has a superior ability to reason, to see the truth, and is logical and efficient.

Self Acceptance

Accepts himself, others, and the natural world the way they are. Sees human nature as is, has a lack of crippling guilt or shame, enjoys himself without regret or apology, and has no unnecessary inhibitions.

Spontaneity, Simplicity, Naturalness

Spontaneous in his inner life. Thoughts and impulses are unhampered by convention. His ethics are autonomous, and Self-actualizing individuals are motivated to continual growth.

Focus of Problem Centering

A Self-actualizing person focuses on problems and people outside of himself. He has a mission in life requiring much energy, as it is his sole reason for existence. He is serene, characterized by a lack of worry, and is devoted to duty.

Detachment: The Need for Privacy

The Self-actualized person can be alone and not be lonely, is unflappable, and retains dignity amid confusion and personal misfortunes, all the while remaining objective. He is a self starter, is responsible for himself, and owns his behavior.

Autonomy: Independent of Culture and Environment

The SA person has a fresh rather than stereotyped appreciation of people and the basic good in life. Moment to moment living for him is thrilling, trans-cending, and spiritual as he lives the present moment to the fullest.

Frequent Peak experiences

"Feelings of limitless horizons opening up to the vision, the feeling of being simultaneously more powerful and also more helpless than one ever was before, the feeling of ecstasy and wonder and awe, the loss of placement in time and space with, finally, the conviction that something extremely important and valuable had happened, so that the subject was to some extent transformed and strengthened even in his daily life by such experiences." -- Abraham Maslow

Interpersonal relations

Identification, sympathy, affection for mankind, kinship with the good, bad, and ugly are all traits of the SA person. Truth is clear to him as he can see things others cannot. He has profound, intimate relationships with few and is capable of greater love than others consider possible as he shares his bene-volence, affection, and friendliness with everyone.

Democratic values and attitudes

The SA person is able to learn from anyone, is humble and friendly with anyone regardless of class, education, political belief, race or color.

Discrimination: means and ends, Good and Evil

The SA does not confuse between means and ends and does no wrong. He enjoys the here and now, getting to goal--not just the result. He makes the most tedious task an enjoyable game and has his own inner moral standards (appearing amoral to others).

Philosophical, unhostile sense of humor

Jokes to the SA person are teaching metaphors, intrinsic to the situation and are spontaneous. He can laugh at himself, but he never makes jokes that hurt others.

Creativity

The SA person enjoys an inborn uniqueness that carries over into everything he does, is original, inventive, uninhibited, and he sees the real and true more easily.

Resistance to enculturation: Transcendence of any particular culture

SA people have an inner detachment from culture. Although folkways may be observed, SA people are not controlled by them. Working for long term culture improvement, indignation with injustice, inner autonomy, outer acceptance, and the ability to transcend the environment rather than just cope are intrinsic to SA people.

Imperfections

SA people are painfully aware of their own imperfections and joyfully aware of their own growth process. They are impatient with themselves when stuck and feel real life pain as a result.

Values

The SA person is realistically human due to a philosophical acceptance of self, human nature, social life, physical reality, and nature.

Resolution of dichotomies

Polar opposites merge into a third, higher phenomenon as though the two have united; therefore, opposite forces are no longer felt as conflict. To the SA person work becomes play and desires are in excellent accord with reason. The SA person retains his childlike qualities yet is very wise.

Everyone has lived some of these qualities at some point in their lives. Maintaining these qualities into a life-style is key. This is aided by a number of things from choosing ones friends for support, to implementing self-discipline to stay the course. In all the people create a supporting culture to enforce their desires to be a better human being. For example, the Hawaiian culture chose to greet and leave each social encounter with the word Aloha, ALOHA means love.

Mohandas Ghandi / Gandhi said upon being asked what his religion was, "The way I live my life, the things I do every day, this is my religion." May we all practice good religion.

Nibiru - Also known as Wormwood, Red Planet, Planet X, Mabus, Horned or Winged Disc - Planet that will be passing through our solar system will be visible to most of us beginning May 15^th 2009. Currently you can see it only from the most southern places on the planet. It is being tracked by NASA from their base on Antarctica. It will cause a polar shift and thus many changes in the weather and tidal patterns on earth between February, 2012 and July 2014.

Hindu scriptures also predict the following regarding 2012: Predictions say that 2/3 of the population of earth will perish.

The last of the four yugas or aeons of time before Pralaya or Deluge is the Kali Yuga, "age of vice" or age of iron"; the dark age of materialism and ignorance, according to Hindu mythology. We are currently living in the Kali Yuga, which, depending on the source, has a duration of anywhere between 1200 and 432,000 years. Hindu cosmology speaks of 4 yugas, or 'ages' in the repetitive cycle of four phases of time the universe passes through.. The last of four ages of the world, namely Krita, Treta, Dwapara, and Kali; Kali is reckoned as having begun in 3102 BC, which follow each other in linear succession. The darkest of these is the Kali Yuga. "Dark Age." It is comparable to the darkest part of the night, as the forces of ignorance are in full power characterized by degeneration, violence, ignorance, sorrow, materialism, waning religion, chaos and evil and many of the subtle faculties of the soul are.

In the Kali Yuga, wealth alone will be the deciding factor of nobility [in place of birth, righteous behavior or merit]. And brute force will be the only standard or deciding what is righteous or just."

"Mutual liking [and not family pedigree, social status, etc.] will be the deciding factor in choosing a partner in marriage; cheating will be the order of the day in business relations; satisfaction of sexual pleasure will be the only consideration of male or female excellence and worthiness; and the wearing of the sacred thread (Yajnopavita) [and not pious behavior or Vedic or Shastric learning] will be the outward index of being a Brahmin.

In the Kali Yuga, only one quarter of each of the four feet of Dharma [panance, truthfulness, compassion and charity] remains. And that too goes on decreasing day by day while the feet of Adharma [unrighteousness] increase greatly. So that in the end Dharma becomes extinct."

"In that [Kali] age, people will be greedy. They will take to wicked behavior. They will be merciless, indulge in hostilities without any cause, unfortunate, extremely covetous for wealth and women. High social status will be attained by Sudras, fisherman and such other classes..."

"When deceit, falsehood, lethargy, sleepiness, violence, despondency. Grief, delusion, fear, and poverty prevail, that is the Kali Yuga..."

"...mortal beings will become dull-wittwd, unlucky, voracious, destitute of wealth yet voloptuous, and women, wanton and unchaste.

Countries will be laid waste by robbers and vagabonds; the Vedas will be condemned heretics; kings will exploit their subjects, and twice-borns like Brahmanas will only think of the gratification of their sexual desires and other appetites.

"Celibates [of the Brahma Carya ashrama] will cease to observe their vows of study, purity and celibacy; householders will take to begging [instead of giving alms]; hermits [of the vanaprastha ashrama] will resort to villages [leaving their retreats in the forests]; and Sannyasins will be extremely greedy for money.[in short, the whole system of the Varnashrama Dharma will have broken down.]"

"Petty - minded people will conduct business transactions and merchants will be dishonest."

In the Kali Yuga, men will abandon their parents, brothers, friends, and relatives. They will occupy high seats [and pulpits] and will [pretend to] preach religion.

People will have their minds weighed down with constant anxiety and fear. This will be due to devastating famines and heavy taxation. The land will not grow food-crops, and the people will always be in fear of impending droughts.

There are similar prophecies in many other passages of the Hindu scriptures such as the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the Vishnu Purana. Baha is believe that all of the conditions described in these books have come about today.

Swami Vivekananda, a prominent writer wrote: But greater than the present deep dismal night...no pall of darkness had ever before enveloped this holy land of ours. And compared with the depth of this fall, all previous falls appear like little hoof-marks.

There are also prophecies that we are seeing today of the breakdown of the caste system and the abandonment of religion: "The observance of caste, order and institutes will not prevail in the Kali Yuga; nor will that of the ceremonials and rituals enjoined by the Sama, Rig, and Yajur Vedas. Marriages, in this age, will not conform to the ritual; nor will the rules that connect the guru and his disciple be in force. The laws that regulate the conduct of husband and wife will be disregarded; and oblations to the gods with fire will no longer be offered..."

The doctrines of false teachers will be held to be scripture... In the Kali Yuga, those who practice fasting, austerity and liberality will do so in whatever way they please [and not according to the law]. And men will call this righteousness...

Men of all degrees, filled with conceit, will consider themselves to be equal with Brahmins...

In the Kali Yuga, men, corrupted by unbelievers, will refrain from adoring Vishnu, the Lord of sacrifice, the creator and lord of all. They will say: Of what authority are the Vedas? What are gods, or Brahmins? What need is there for purification with water?

"When the practices taught by the Vedas and the institutes of law shall nearly have ceased, and the close of the Kali age shall be nigh, a portion of that divine being who exists of his own spiritual nature in the character of Brahma, and who is the beginning and the end, and who comprehends all things, shall descend upon the earth. He will be born as Kalki in the family of an eminent brahmin of Sambhala village, endowed with the eight superhuman faculties. By his irresistible might he will destroy all the barbarians and thieves, and all whose minds are devoted to iniquity. He will then re-establish righteousness upon earth; and the minds of those who live at the end of the Kali age shall be awakened, and shall be as pellucid as crystal. The men who are thus changed by virtue of that peculiar time shall be as the seeds of human beings, and shall give birth to a race who shall follow the laws of the Krita age, the Age of Purity." --- Hinduism- Vishnu Purana 4.24

Perhaps this will explain references on the great pyramids to 2012:

We are at the threshold of a planetary birth. Old forms are dissolving; new forms are arising. We have been conditioned on this planet to believe that birth is something painful, and so it is for us. Even so, the moment of our birth has arrived, and will be truly a wondrous sacred event.

You are aware of the convergence of many cycles of time, prophesied through ancient calendars and scriptures all over the world. Just as a mother knows when her time is coming, and her labor begins, so is Mother Earth now pushing to birth a new consciousness, a new Age.

Would it help you to know that, difficult as these times may seem to you, the promised new Age will surely come? There are those locked in duality consciousness who would seek to prevent this, and there will be for a time a great struggle of increased polarization.

This is all in divine order. Please know that the Brotherhoods of Light have long prepared for this time as well. In the times ahead, no longer will it be possible for anyone to sit on the fences of indifference, , or denial. The fences are being taken down! A planetary wake-up call has been issued. The last trumpet has been sounded.

Great karmic dramas will be played out. As hearts and souls awaken, cries of freedom will grow from within, and the bands of fear that have enslaved humanity for long eons will be lifted. As the bands of fear are released, a new Earth will be birthed. The Kingdom of God has always been within you and among you, and now will be revealed through the waves of light, love, and freedom that sweep through the planet in its moment of birthing.

Many of you are asking, what do these recent events mean? Are we heading towards a global war? Is the world about to end? Please realize that the discordant energies that fueled the events of this day have been brewing for quite some time. Billions have already suffered around the world in a war on the human spirit. This will only end as deeper truth is brought to light. And so it shall be.

You are aware of the prophetic timeline encoded within the measurements and geometry of the Great Pyramid, ending on September 17, 2001 at the entry to the antechamber preceding the King's Chamber. Just as the life of a caterpillar ends only so that it may cocoon into a , so as you stand at this threshold of initiation, a great portal of light now opens before you.

Life on this planet will never again be the same. The events of September 11 are directly linked to these calendar measurements, signifying a planetary initiation the likes of which has not been witnessed in recent ages. The Hopis called this the Day of Purification. Some call it Armageddon; you may also call it the Day of Truth. This is indeed a wondrous time, a time for light to shine into all the dark places of the human heart, so that all that was hidden may now be revealed and transmuted in the great cauldron of humanity's awakening.

Hold this vision strong. Do not give in to despair and polarity consciousness, no matter what the appearances may be. Visualize the Earth as already healed. Earth needs your joy right now. When waves of fear, dread, or anger come up, transmute them in violet flame, keeping in mind the bigger picture, and know that you do this not for yourself alone, but for the collective. Continue calling on the realms of light for assistance. Trust the process. Eventually all fear will transmute into ecstasy and light. If you could see these times from the perspective of the Age that follows, you would truly be dancing in the streets in profound gratitude for the openings that lie before you. A new 'world soul' is being created among you, and the time for its birthing is at hand. Step boldly forth into the Age of Light!

There is no good nor bad, no right nor wrong. No matter what happens to you, whether you are responsible or not, you have to remember: Reality is neutral, it is you yourself who put a good-bad, right-wrong spin on events. Remembering this will help keep you from beating yourself up. This does not mean you do not take responsibility for your actions. Of course you do. Otherwise, you would be creating more karma. However, avoid labeling what is happening to you as either good or bad, right or wrong. It is just what is happening. Thinking bad or wrong will put you in a negative spiral. Events are stepping-stones to learning. Self-acceptance and self-forgiveness are the way of the light. If we make arbitrary moral judgments about what is happening to us, we might not really see what we are supposed to learn. Even thinking you are right might be missing the point. Alternatively, you might have broken some social rules or even civil laws in your behavior, but those rules are arbitrary, too. There is something deeper going on in the universe and you are part of it. See if you can learn what it is.

James 1:2 tells us: "My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations"

John 14:1 says "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid...for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."

PSA.91:5,6 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

ISA.41:13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

2TI.1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Avoid polarizing! We polarize when we blame others or outside factors for what is happening to us. Alternatively, when we feel strongly in the right, we also polarize. Instead of polarizing, we are meant to rise to a higher vibration. The world of the end times is in many ways the product of polarized thinking that has become stratified and institutionalized. Instead of contributing further to polarization, take that tendency in yourself and spiral it up into a higher evolutionary channel. Go super mental and instead, think: "That one whom I might deem to be my enemy or my antagonist, is really giving me the opportunity to evolve out of the lesser state of polarity to the higher state of transcendent consciousness. This is the most magnificent opportunity I have to let go of my negative thoughts and feelings. If I do not do this now, I may miss the perfect chance to go beyond myself. When will I have this chance again? " Where there is polarity, create the harmony.

Matthew 5:38-39 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."

Matthew 5:38-44 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

Always remember: This is a lesson. I am learning. Take this attitude for the following reason: We all came here to learn. The Closing of the Cycle is all about learning because we are being prepared to graduate to a new evolutionary level. Therefore, it does not matter how old or experienced you think you might be. It is the end times and nobody but nobody has it all sewed up. All along the watchtower, the times are changing very rapidly; the waters are churning and boiling. Whatever happens to us, no matter what it is, big or small, is happening because it is what we need to learn. If you think something is inconsequential, think again. When we really learn, we experience a true self-transformation. However, you cannot learn if you think you already know the answer. You have to remain fresh. Something or someone else is trying to tell you something, and unless you relax your mind, you will not be able to hear what you are being taught.

1 John 4:1 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God"

John 8:31,32... Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Take responsibility yourself. No matter what kind of changes you are experiencing, they are all for your benefit. You are being asked to grow into a new form. Each one of us has a distinct pattern of evolutionary growth and a unique timing as well. That is why it is not wise to hold to any rigid forms at all. Now, on the Road to 2012 your DNA is calling you into a new evolving pattern apart from everything you might once have thought yourself to be. These new patterns often manifest as disruptions in our life routine. Sometimes this is shocking and we might want to say that someone or something outside of us is responsible. No. It is a sign that the time has truly come to take responsibility yourself. It is the only way your True Self can know, grow, and evolve beyond itself. When you take responsibility yourself, you are becoming your True Self. No blame on any other will ever help your True Self. Only self-acceptance, taking responsibility for all your life and actions, will allow you to find out who you are really meant to be. The mirror of the Closing of the Cycle reflects only evolutionary changes.

2 Timothy 1:9 promises us that God... "Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began," "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

Jeremiah 1:5 When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my mother's womb, when I was growing there in secret, you knew that I was there -you saw me before I was born. The days allotted to me had all been recorded in your book, before any of them ever began.

Psalms 139:15-16 Before I was born, the LORD chose me and appointed me to be his servant.

Isaiah 49:1 Hear this, you who trample the needy and do away with the poor of the land, saying, "When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?" skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, buying the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling even the sweepings with the wheat.

Amos 8:4-6 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay", says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.

Romans 12:17-21" Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

"Chance favors the prepared mind." -Louis Pasteur

Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage-with great patience and careful instruction.

1 Peter 1:13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect."

Signs of Awakening Divinity

It's Happening To YOU

Body aches and pains, especially in the neck, shoulder and back. This is the result of intense changes at your DNA level as the "Christ seed" awakens within. This too shall pass.
Feeling of deep inner sadness for no apparent reason. You are releasing your past (this lifetime and others) and this causes the feeling of sadness. This is similar to the experience of moving from a house where you lived in for many, many years into a new house. As much as you want to move into the new house, there is a sadness of leaving behind the memories, energy and experiences of the old house. This too shall pass.
Crying for no apparent reason. Similar to #2 above. It's good and healthy to let the tears flow. It helps to release the old energy within. This too shall pass.
Sudden change in job or career. A very common symptom. As you change, things around you will change as well. Don't worry about finding the "perfect" job or career right now. This too shall pass. You're in transition and you may make several job changes before you settle into one that fits your passion.
Withdrawal from family relationships. You are connected to your biological family via old karma. When you get off the karmic cycle, the bonds of the old relationships are released. It will appear as though you are drifting away from your family and friends. This too shall pass. After a period of time, you may develop a new relationship with them if it is appropriate. However, the relationship will be based in the new energy without the karmic attachments.
Unusual sleep patterns. It's likely that you'll awaken many nights between 2:00 and 4:00 AM. There's a lot of work going on within you, and it often causes you to wake up for a "breather." Not to worry. If you can't go back to sleep, get up and do something rather than lay in bed and worry about humanly things. This too shall pass.
Intense dreams. These might include war and battle dreams, chase dreams or monster dreams. You are literally releasing the old energy within, and these energies of the past are often symbolized as wars, running to escape and boogiemen. This too shall pass.
Physical disorientation. At times you'll feel very ungrounded. You'll be "spatially challenged" with the feeling like you can't put two feet on the ground, or that you're walking between two worlds. As your consciousness transitions into the new energy, you body sometimes lags behind. Spend more time in nature to help ground the new energy within. This too shall pass.
Increased "self talk." You'll find yourself talking to your Self more often. You'll suddenly realize you've been chattering away with yourself for the past 30 minutes. There is a new level of communication taking place within your being, and you're experiencing the tip of the iceberg with the self talk. The conversations will increase, and they will become more fluid, more coherent and more insightful. You're not going crazy, you're just Shaumbra moving into the new energy.
Feelings of loneliness, even when in the company of others. You may feel alone and removed from others. You may feel the desire to "flee" groups and crowds. As Shaumbra, you are walking a sacred and lonely path. As much as the feelings of loneliness cause you anxiety, it is difficult to relate to others at this time. The feelings of loneliness are also associated with the fact that your Guides have departed. They have been with you on all of your journeys in all of your lifetimes. It was time for them to back away so you could fill your space with your own divinity. This too shall pass. The void within will be filled with the love and energy of your own Christ consciousness.
Loss of passion. You may feel totally disimpassioned, with little or no desire to do anything. That's OK, and it's just part of the process. Take this time to "do no-thing." Don't fight yourself on this, because this too shall pass. It's similar to rebooting a computer. You need to shut down for a brief period of time in order to load the sophisticated new software, or in this case, the new Christ-seed energy.
A deep longing to go Home. This is perhaps the most difficult and challenging of any of the conditions. You may experience a deep and overwhelming desire to leave the planet and return to Home. This is not a "suicidal" feeling. It is not based in anger or frustration. You don't want to make a big deal of it or cause drama for yourself or other. There is a quiet part of you that wants to go Home. The root cause for this is quite simple. You have completed your karmic cycles. You have completed your contract for this lifetime. You are ready to begin a new lifetime while still in this physical body. During this transition process, you have an inner remembrance of what it is like to be on the other side. Are you ready to enlist for another tour of duty here on Earth? Are you ready to take on the challenges of moving into the New Energy? Yes, indeed you could go Home right now. But you've come this far, and after many, many lifetimes it would be a shame to leave before the end of the movie. Besides, Spirit needs you here to help others transition into the new energy. They will need a human guide, just like you, who has taken the journey from the old energy into the new. The path you're walking right now provides the experiences to enable you to become a Teacher of the New Divine Human. As lonely and dark as your journey can be at times, remember that you are never alone.

The Truth Shall Set You Free

The Mayans say that by 2012:

We will have gone beyond technology as we know it.
We will have gone beyond time and money.
We will have entered the fifth dimension after passing through the fourth dimension
Planet Earth and the Solar System will come into galactic synchronization with the rest of the Universe.
Our DNA will be "upgraded" (or reprogrammed) from the center of our galaxy.

Everybody on this planet is mutating. Some are more conscious of it than others. But everyone is doing it"

In 2012 the plane of our Solar System will line up exactly with the plane of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. This cycle has taken 26,000 years to complete, also two other galaxies will line up with ours at the same time. A cosmic event!

Time is actually speeding up (or collapsing). For thousands of years the Schumann Resonance or pulse (heartbeat) of Earth has been 7.83 cycles per second, The military have used this as a very reliable reference. However, since 1980 this resonance has been slowly rising. It is now over 12 cycles per second! This mean there is the equivalent of less than 16 hours per day instead of the old 24 hours. Another interpretation is - we, or rather Consciousness have been down this same road seven times before over the last 16 billion years. Each of these cycles of Creation runs 20 times faster than the last one. The same amount of Creation is paced 20 times tighter. This is why time seems to be going so fast. It is not "time" but Creation itself that is accelerating. (see Mayan Calendar Central)

During the Apocalypse or the time "between worlds" many people will be going through many personal changes. The changes will be many and varied. It is all part of what we came here to learn or experience. Examples of change could be- relationships coming to an end, change of residence or location, change of job or work, shift in attitude or thinking etc.

Remember, in any given moment we are making small and large decisions. Each decision is based on LOVE or FEAR. Choose love, follow your intuition, not intellect and follow your passion or "burning inner desire." Go with the flow. Thought forms are very important and affect our everyday life. We create our reality with thought forms. If we think negative thoughts of others this is what we attract. If we think positive thoughts we will attract positive people and events. So be aware of your thoughts and eliminate the unnecessary negative or judgmental ones.

Be aware that most of the media is controlled by just a few. Use discernment! Look for the hidden agendas. Why is this information being presented to you? What is "their" real agenda? Is it a case of problem/reaction/solution? Do "they" create a problem so that "we" react and ask for a fix, then "they" offer their solution? The "solution is what "they" really wanted in the first place.

Remember almost nothing happens by accident. Almost all "events" are planned by some agency or other. Despite this, it is a very exciting time to be alive!

NEGATIVE IONS, VITAMINS OF THE AIR?

When certain kinds of winds begin to blow throughout the world, hospital admissions, suicides, and crime rates skyrocket. One country (Switzerland) even accepts the blowing of the "Foehn" during the commission of a crime as mitigating evidence in court.

These "notorious" desert and sea winds are also linked to minor illnesses and malaise epidemics. Victims' claims range from sleeplessness, irritability, tension, migraines, nausea, palpitations and hot flashes with sweating o shills to tremor, vertigo, swelling, breathing difficulty, and frequent intestinal movement. In addition, elderly persons are affected with depression. Apathy, and fatigue.. What causes these "witches' winds." as they are often called, to differ from others? What do they posses or lack that make them a dread to the lands or oceans they blow across?

Nothing more than an imbalance of invisible, minute particles with an imperceptive electrical charge-positive and negative ions.

According to the experts, positive ions rob us of our good senses and dispositions, while their counterpart, negative ions, enhance them, stimulating everything from plant growth to the human sex drive.

For the uninitiated, ions are charged particles in the air, formed when enough energy acts on a molecule such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water or nitrogen-to eject an electron. The displaced electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes a negative ion (neg-ion). The original molecule (minus an electron) is now a positive ion (pos-ion). These ions, in turn, react with dust and pollutants to form larger particles. Small neg-ions (usually no more than 12 gaseous molecules clustered around a charged atom or molecule) are short-lived and highly mobile.

As long ago as 1789, the Abbe Bertholon, European monk speculated that ions exist and affect people. He recorded the responses of medical patients and normal people to changes in the electrical state of the ambient air. More than a century later, in 1899, two scientists named Elster and Geitel proved the existence of ions. Only since the 1930s have researchers been probing their secrets.

In nature, ions are formed in a variety of ways. About half are created by radioactive gases. Radioactive substances in the soil, cosmic rays, ultraviolet rays, airflow friction, falling water, and plants all produce the other half. For example, they stream off the leaves of plants, most notably pines, and asparagus ferns.

Ions are apparently also created by the phenomenon of "subterranean suspiration". According to Fred Soyka, author of The Ion Effect: "Solar and lunar influences cause the water table to rise, forcing air out of the earth." This prompted Federal Aviation Administration research psychologist, Bruce Rosenberg, to charge the earth with having "bad breath". Being negatively charged, he said, "it breathes positive ions".

Normally only about one atom in 100,000,000,000,000,000 is ionized making a total of maybe 1000-2000 ions per cubic centimeter (that's like a handful of planets floating in a circle 4 billion miles in diameter). These are usually balanced evenly between positive and negative, with a slight edge toward positive. "However, the normal may not be the optimal", Fred Soyka told New Realities. "On the seashore, where water is always falling, you have about 2000 negative to 1000 positive. That seems to be the ratio that human beings respond to most favorably."

We have all experienced this positive effect, regardless of our proximity to waterfalls or the ocean. Every home has a built in, natural ionizer-the shower. Our daily bath rituals are, in effect, the practice of preventive medicine. Research has shown that falling water creates thousands of negative ions by splitting other wise neutral particles of air, freeing electrons to manifest their vitalizing function. These electrons join up with smaller air particles, thus giving them a predominantly negative charge.

Waterfalls have always been the favorite habitat of mystics and artists. The inspiration and romance generated at places like Niagara Falls and Yosemite have a direct relationship to the lowering of serotonin levels in the blood, caused by the waves of negative ions from the spray of these falls.

Those notorious desert and sea winds mentioned previously raise the ion count, but over-balance the positive-up to a ratio of 33 to 1 positive. As the winds blow through arid areas, they stir up dust and the neg-ions are leeched out. In Israel such winds are called the Sharav; in the Alps the Foehn; along the Mediterranean the Sharkiye (called the Sirocco in Italy and the Xlokk in Malta); in Africa the Simoon, Hamsin and Harmatan; in southern France, the Mistral. There is the Boras of the Adriatic, the Karaburan of the Gobi, the Zondi of Argentina, the Tramontana of Spain. In the U.S., the Chinook plagues the Rockies and the Santa Ana the southern California desert. Still other winds pos-ionize India and Australia. Whatever their name, throughout the world, they are known to blow no good.

One might postulate that the culprit is really humidity, wind or temperature changes, and not positive ionization. That has been considered, but does not account for the fact that weather-sensitive people react to the approaching Sharav 12 to 24 hours before meteorological instruments do. Positive ionization remains the culprit. So much for natural pos-ions.

The lethal doses of pos-ions lie within our polluted cities, which William Radley, president of the Bio-Environmental Systems, refers to as "ion prisons". Car exhausts, factory fumes, tire dust, cigarette smoke, cooking and heating fumes, dust and soot gobble up neg-ions, either neutralizing or positively charging them. Inside, steel and concrete buildings act as electromagnetic Faraday cages, absorbing the charges of negative ions. Synthetic building materials, clothing and furniture coverings eat up more; so do the metal ducts covering heating and air conditioning outlets. The positive static charge of plastics takes care of the rest, so that in a typical interior, the neg-ion count may be below 100 per cubic centimeter. (The minimal amount for optimum human functioning is about 1000/ccm.) In the words of Dr. William Rea, Chief of Surgery at Brookhaven Medical Center in Texas, "Houses don't breathe like they used to."

Several people have investigated the mechanisms of pos-ions' debilitating effects. According to the Russian ion pioneer, Vasil'yev, ions act on the endings of pulmonary afferent nerve fibers, altering the functional state of the central nervous system and, through it, the peripheral organs. Sulman et al (1970) found that weather-sensitive people excrete more of the neuro-hormone serotonin than non-sensitive people do. The pineal gland and the intestines secrete serotonin. It affects sleep, mood, nerve impulses, blood clotting, and contraction of smooth muscles. LSD effects are caused by a serotonin inhibitor, and chronic serotonin depletion is characteristic of some types of mental anomalies.

Sulman's work supports the findings of American ion dean Dr. Albert P. Krueger, who discovered that the specific negative ion or oxygen speeds up the rate at which serotonin is oxidized in the bloodstream.

Krueger also found that pos-ions slow the sweeping action of the tiny hairs in our throats from 900 to 600 beats per minute and cut mucus flow, thus lowering our resistance to airborne allergens. For example, the pos-ion carbon dioxide causes contracture of the back tracheal wall. Pos-ions also cause vasoconstriction and increased respiration rate.

Oddly enough, notes ion author Soyka, "About five percent of the population seems to react well to a positive charge. They feel euphoric."

If pos-ions are the bad guys, neg-ions wear white hats and shoot silver bullets. Dr. C.W. Hansell first discovered their beneficial effect in 1932 at RCA Laboratories. Dr. Hansell was startled by the violent mood shifts of a co-worker who sat beside an electrostatic generator. He observed carefully and discovered that his colleague was ebullient when the machine produced neg-ions and morose when it made pos-ions.

Subsequently researchers (mostly abroad) have found that neg-ions reduce neurosis and anxiety, heighten appetite and thirst, and stimulate sexual behavior. They improved performance of voluntary movements: 81.2 percent of drivers with neg-ion generators scored in the top half on driving tests: 86 percent in the top half on reaction time. In school they sharpen mental functioning and reduce error rates. After a year with neg-ion generators in their classrooms, a group of kindergarten teachers reported that their students concentrated better and showed almost no 'weather effect." Hyperactive kids were calmer. Absenteeism was down (except on Mondays} and the teachers themselves felt less fatigued.

Neg-ions promote alpha brain waves and increase brain wave amplitude, which translates to a higher awareness level. Neg-ion Induced alpha waves spread from the occipital area to the parietal and temporal and even reach the frontal lobes, spreading evenly across the right and left brain hemispheres. All of this creates an overall calming effect.

On the physical side, they have given relief from hay fever, sinusitis, bronchial asthma, allergies, migraine, burn, and post-operative pains. Along with the burn pain relief, they lesson infections dry the burns faster heal them more quickly and leave less scarring. After operations. Not only did 57 percent of Dr. Igho Hart Kornblueh's patients treated with large doses of neg-ions (10,000/ccm) feel less pain (as opposed to 22.5 percent of controls), but restlessness and infection were also reduced and healing quickened.

But why are ions therapeutic? Partly because they kill germs. Back in the 1930s a Russian team headed by A L. Tchijevski found that large ion doses of either polarity retarded bacteria colony formation on plates. Ionization also sterilized enclosed air. Latter experiments duplicating Tchijevski's work noted an exponential bacteria decay rate of 23 percent per minute for untreated air 34 percent per minute for air with pos-ions, and 78 percent per minute for negatively charged air. They concluded that the pos-ion decay rate was due to simple bonding or the ions with the bacteria, whereas the neg-ions actually killed them.

Interestingly, animals larger than microbes find neg-ions beneficial. Rats learn better and are less anxious. Mice live longer. (Mice with flu die more quickly if deprived of neg-ions.) Silkworm eggs hatch earlier, larvae grow faster, spinning begins sooner, and cocoons are heavier. Chickens lay more eggs and grow plumper. Sheep grow faster and supply more wool.

Moreover, in the vegetable kingdom, plant seedlings grow up to 50 percent more when charged. Fruit stays fresh longer: after 10 days, ionized tomatoes were still fresh while untreated controls rotted.

Researches offer a variety of reasons for ion effect. Dr Krueger explains that plants benefit from both positive and negative ions because "ions expedite both the uptake of ion and its utilization in the production of iron containing enzymes (and) stimulate the metabolism of ATP in the chloroplasts and augment both nucleic acid metabolism and oxygen uptake".

In humans, most researchers think that neg-ions act on our capacity to absorb and use oxygen, accelerating the blood's delivery of oxygen to our cells and tissues. Dr. R. Gualterotti of the University of Milan says they make wider cell nuclei with more volume. The weight of evidence supports Krueger's theory that ions break down serotonin in the bloodstream. Lest negative ions sound too much like a cure-all, testers report that neg-ions work only so long as they are being inhaled. As the charge is most readily absorbed through the olfactory nerves, you need to breathe them in through your nose, not your mouth. Dr. Krueger cautions that ''the biological (non clinical) effects produced by atmospheric ions are not dramatic; on the contrary, they tend to be limited in degree.''

However, that is atmospheric ions. Artificially generated ions are another story. Just as positive ions can be generated artificially by pollution. So can negative ions be man made with negative ion generators. It is true; you cannot plug in an ionizer at night and expect new muscles in the morning. But their effects are not always subtle. '' People are allergic to the Twentieth Century,'' says Bio-Environmental Systems President William Radley. "Our architects and interior designers are poisoning us. Some people are so sick or so intolerant of chemicals that sometimes the results of ionization are quite dramatic.''

Since the 1950s, manufacturers have produced dozens of ion generators for laboratory and home use. Early machines ionized atoms and molecules via high-voltage electrical fields, incandescent materials, ultraviolet light, x-rays and alpha or beta radiation from isotopes. The output of the electrostatic, incandescent, and ultraviolet generators tended to deteriorate rapidly. In addition, electrostatic and ultraviolet machines produced ozone, a toxic oxygen allotrope, as a by-product.

Dr. Krueger used tritium-based generators during the 50's. Tritium is a beta radiating hydrogen isotope with a half-life of 12.5 years. A minute amount of the gas is sealed in zirconium and deposited on a stainless steel foil. An electrical potential difference varying from 300 to 2000 volts DC is used to separate pos-ions from neg-ions before they recombine in the plasma. Tritium machines allow precise dosages, but unfortunately tritium is so dangerous that it is illegal (except in fusion power plants). This, the tritium generators manufactured during this period were seized by the FDA.

During the 1960s, ion collectors drew air through an electrostatic field between parallel plates or concentric cylinders: the ions were collected on the plates. Present ion units apply a high voltage electrical signal directly to the air to create an intense electric field around the emitters.

Why not set up a monster ionizer over Manhattan? Well, safety dictates a size limit. Dr Robert Massy of the University of the Trees reported at the Ions and Light Conference that, whereas a 5,000 volt machine produces less than .05 parts per million of ozone (the limit allowed by the FDA), extremely high-voltage units invariably fail to meet standards.

Although most people in the U.S. are not ion-wise, generators have been popular elsewhere in the world for decades. In World War 11, Luftwaffe planes were negatively ionized by electric field generators, in order to reduce pilot fatigue. And it worked! (Electric field generators are like female ion generators: instead of ejecting ions, they attract them. Germany and the USSR use them in government buildings, hospitals, schools, factories, restaurants, health spas, beauty salons, homes, offices, cars, and trucks. In Canada, Fred Soyka notes. "Ionization has become a household word. My book became a best-seller, and innumerable articles have come out.''

The U.S. has equipped nuclear submarines with ion machines. Ionizers are being used industrially in auto spray paint booths, food-processing plants, grain storage bins, and chemical spray factories.

Architects and designers are beginning to see the health benefits from fountains and rooftop solariums placed in urban environments, echoing the wisdom of their ancestors in the Roman culture. The growing recognition of our biological needs amidst our artificial interiors is opening whole new industries armed at replicating nature indoors. In addition, we could all take Rosenberg's advice and wear underwear of polyvinyl chloride to attract neg-ions. From BVD's to PVC's then, it is the negative ion generation.

Several machines are now on the market for home and office use ranging in cost from about $70 to several thousand dollars you just plug them in and they ionize away. But, here are some considerations to keep in mind. If something or someone is between you and the generator, the ion count around you will drop. If you and the machine are in contact with the same dielectric material (as for instance, If it and your arms are on the same desk), a charge will build up between you and it, and this charge will repel ions. (Supposedly, this does not happen with the latest machines.) In addition, your own static charge will often repel ions, especially in dry indoor wintertime air. Synthetic clothing absorbs ions: wear cotton or wool, which have neutral charges.

At the Ions and Light Conference, Fred Soyka told New Realities of some in-progress Swiss research on ion machine frequencies. Frequencies of 60-100 Hz (cycles/sec) are stimulating to a person, while less than 25 Hz are relaxing. "If you have 60-100 Hz frequency machine," Soyka says, "you may have trouble sleeping well with it on. Manufacturers ought to look into machines with adjustable frequency ranges. Some European machines already modulate frequency so people can dial their needs electrically.

A problem with ionizers has been determining their effectiveness. A typical generator may supposedly churn out 100 billion ions per second. But how many of them survive a yard past the machine? Ion counts do exist but up unto now no store or salesperson selling generators has had one around. Inexpensive units are now on the assembly line. Ion counters must be used carefully: within a room the ion concentration varies a lot depending on how far you are from the generator, from conducting walls from charge buildup on insulating walls from curtains or draperies. Poor measurability panty explains why shoddy machines have been marketed (and confiscated by the FDA in the past. Today regrettably, the field is still not without its quacks. According to Brute Sullivan, president of Environmental Sciences Corp. ''Some people Are selling generators for thousands One company calls its machine The Air Doctor.''

Advanced technology has eliminated main problems associated with previous ion devices, and as such, there are more on the market today. Moreover, it is now possible to create higher voltages with lower current, thereby reducing or eliminating the production of ozone (Federal law prohibits the production of more than .05 parts per million or 50ppb of ozone). So to ensure that device meets the buyer's needs, one should carefully examine the manufacturer's literature.

In addition, buyers should look for a warranty on parts and labor including a description of the room size affected by the machine, and even a money-back trial period offer. A list of authorized service centers should also be provided to the consumer. Therefore, caution is still the watchword since industry standardization has yet to be instituted, although several manufacturers are currently drawing up industry standards for ion measurement and output.

The first call for some kind of industry standards was issued by ion pioneer Igho Hart Kornblueh back in 1961: "Standardization of the generating and metering equipment by an independent authority would terminate the hasty and regrettable trend to market ion generator of questionable safety, quality and output."

Today Fred Soyka echoes his words: ''Measuring the sending capacity of these machines is very important. You should be able to say, like when you buy a 60-watt light bulb; "I'm getting an ionizer of this capacity, and to correlate that to room sizes". A giant step was taken at the Ions and Light Conference where the International BioEnvironmental Society was formed to set up standards and regulations within the industry. "We've already gone though our Inquisition on ionization," said President Bruce Sullivan. "We do not need another one.'' The Association is building a box within which the ion output of different machines can be counted at a standard distance and humidity.

Ions have been around for eons. Science has had its eye on the ion for 80 years. However, public ignorance, generally non-ionized interiors and lack of generator standards, is the hallmark of a science and industry still in its infancy. Dr. E.R. Holiday thinks we know as much about air today as we did about 70 years ago when biochemists thought proteins, fat and carbohydrates were all we needed. Then a substance was discovered that prevented rickets: the first vitamin. Ions might well be, as Holiday suggests, "the vitamins of the air".

James Karnstedt is a writer, lecturer, and researcher whose interests lie in the field of light, color, sound, and ions as they affect human consciousness and health. He uses and considers the Electrocorp ionizers the best made on the market today.

The Cataclysms have happened before it is in the records, if you look at many the stories. You will find repeatedly that people in the mountains survived to tell the tale of survival. Read the old stories look up the so-called myths they are eyewitness accounts of major cataclysms. They are the stories of the survivors read where they survived from; the majorities I have run across indicate survival in the mountains. Being alone in a bunker means, you die alone in a bunker. Gangs will come and root you out. A community of people will be your best bet for survival.

"Survival"

This is predicting an economic collapse that will leave a significant percentage of the U.S. population broke and homeless. The American people should start preparing themselves today to deal with this possibility and that is what the information in this appendix will help you do.

Survival skills and preparations should not be limited only to the possibility of an economic collapse but also for any manmade or natural catastrophe. Hurricane Katrina exposed us to what can happen if people are not preparing for a natural disaster. In addition, it showed us that we could not count on the federal government to do the right thing before, during, or after a disaster.

Therefore, it is up to each one of us to make our own preparations to survive a disaster. Every American citizen should start preparing himself or herself today because many possible disasters will give us little, or no, forewarning.

Education

Regardless of the type of disaster that might effect us, the key to survival is education. Not only should we educate ourselves how to survive a disaster but also we should educate ourselves how to prosper before a disaster hits. Even if the GOP succeeds in robbing our government and concentrating wealth into the hands of a few corrupt families the people who are going to survive the GOP's new fascist plutocracy government are going to be the people who have advanced degrees and specialized training. Therefore, keep advancing your skills with whatever form of education that appeals to you.

Physical Fitness

The temple of the human body is the mind. If your body is unhealthy, your mind will also suffer. Keep your body fit and healthy with regular diet and exercise and you will greatly increase your chances of survival.

"Survival of the Fittest" was Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and it suggests that long-term survival is based on a species ability to change to meet new environments and new dangers. Let us be honest with ourselves, humans are just a species of animal. The only important difference between our species and all others is the size of our brains. The only thing that keeps our civil societies from turning into a dangerous environment of mass chaos is the rule of law. Without the law, it is everyone for themselves and only the strongest and smartest can survive that situation, and that is why education and physical fitness are so important to survival.

Preparations

In addition to education and physical fitness, making survival preparations is the next key to survival. The squirrel that fails to store a supply of nuts for the winter will probably not survive, but the squirrel that does probably will survive. I believe this reality of planning for the future also applies to humans just as much as it applies to squirrels. We need to prepare ourselves with a adequate supply of money, water, food, and shelter so that we can survive tough times, and there coming so get ready.

Money

Saving some money for the future is not just important for surviving a disaster but also for just surviving life. Social Security may or may not be there for you in the future. Again, relying on the federal government for help is not a good idea. Try to become more self-reliant by saving for your own retirement and in the process you will be in a much better position to weather any type of disaster.

In some disaster scenarios, paper currencies will quickly become useless. During the economic collapse, that I am predicting hyperinflation will make the dollar worthless. In this situation, one million dollars in cash will not buy you a slice of bread, but a pound of dry beans could suddenly be worth their weight in diamonds. If you do not believe me just study the history of Germany's economy during the hyperinflation economic collapse of the 1920's. Therefore, do not become over reliant on monetary holdings for survival.

Water

Water is the key to all life on earth. Our bodies are about 70% water. Without water, the human body can only live for a few days, maybe a week at the most. However, water can also kill you. Water polluted with bacteria, viruses, chemicals, salts, radiation, and microbes should never be consumed and must be disinfected and filtered before consuming. Otherwise, you may find yourself desiring death to escape the pain of disease, infection, and insanity.

One of the most effective ways to treat suspect water is by boiling it. This will kill most dangerous organisms in the water but it will not do anything for dangerous chemicals in the water. To remove harmful chemicals from water you can filter it through charcoal, or you can aerate or distill it.

Food

Food is the second key to life. The human body needs a regular supply of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and proteins to stay healthy. Grasses, nuts, and seeds are enough to keep a person alive indefinitely, but animal meats and fats also provide most of these needed nutrients. Add fruits and vegetables to that list and your have a well balanced diet.

Most foods are perishable and are therefore not appropriate for long-term survival storage. However, unprocessed whole grains, dry beans, and rice can be stored for up to twenty-five years or more and still maintain their healthful qualities. Therefore, keeping a two-year supply of carefully stored whole grains, dry beans, and rice should be at the top of everyone's survival inventory.

Shelter

A shelter from the elements is critically important, and especially in cold climates. A shelter can be made from a cardboard box placed under a bridge, but with a little prior planning, you can vastly improve that living condition.

Most of us consider our homes as our shelters but during an economic collapse, or other disaster, you may lose your home and therefore an alternative shelter should be part of your survival preparation plans.

The ideal survival shelter is a fully stocked reinforced underground bunker located as far away from civilization as possible. The fewer people that know about your survival bunker the better chance you have to survive.

Other Stuff

There are many other desirable survival supplies that should be considered but the most important is medical supplies. Painkillers (aspirin), disinfectants (hydrogen peroxide and alcohol), and antibiotics are very important to long-term survival. Again, giving yourself some education about first aid will prove invaluable in a survival situation.

Weapons are also very important, and not just for hunting but also for self-defense. Your survival supplies are going to be much sought after by all the other people who failed to prepare for themselves. You could find yourself in some type of horror movie scenario, like "Night of the Living Dead", with half living humans coming at you by the hundreds for your priceless survival supplies.

Other survival supplies should include gasoline, electrical generators, shovel, ax, knives, pots, pans, cups, radios, batteries, flashlights, clothing, sewing kit, security monitors, books, bedding, a bicycle, and cleaning supplies.

Beyond these items are other luxury items that probably will not help you survive but can keep some degree of pleasure in your life. These items could include computers, games, hobby supplies, books, CD's & DVD's, and toys.

The Good News

Most of the disasters I can imagine are ones of limited duration. That is the good news. If you can survive a few months, or maybe a year or two you will probably come out of the disaster ok. The economic collapse I am predicting will probably only last a couple of years before a recovery begins. During that time you should survive just fine, if you made the preparations I recommended.

2012: The Year of the Dragon

Far off, unknown, beyond the range of thought,
scarce reached by gods, the years' rough haggard mother,
stands a primeval Cave in whose vast breast,
is Time's cradle and womb. A Serpent encloses,
the Cave, consuming all things with slow power,
and green scales always glinting. Its mouth devours,
the backbent tail as with mute motion it traces,
its beginning. At the entrance Nature sits,
the threshold-guardian, aged and yet lovely,
and round her gather and flit on every side Spirits.
A Venerable Man writes down immutable laws.
He fixes the number of stars in every constellation,
makes some of them move and others hang at rest.
So all things live or die by predetermined laws...
When the Sun rested on the cave's wide threshold,
Nature ran in her might to meet him; the Old Man bent
grey hairs to the proud rays.

Claudian (c. 370-408), Roman poet

Of all the world's monsters, the dragon appears to be the most universal. Dragons appear in the early literature of the English, German, Irish, Danish, Norse, Romans, Greeks, Babylonians, and Egyptians - and in oral tales from every inhabited corner of the globe.

The word "dragon" is derived from the Latin dracon, which came from the Greek word for serpent, spakov. Spakov can be traced to the Greek aorist verb, spakelv meaning "sharp-sighted one" (a reference to the perceived good vision of snakes), and is related to many other ancient words to do with sight, such as darc (Sanskrit for see), derc (Old Irish for eye), torht (Old Saxon) and zoraht (Old High German) which both mean clear, or bright.

The distinctions between words that describe dragons and snakes are often blurred, and are to some degree interchangeable. The old German word for dragon, "lindwurm", literally means "snake-worm" The ancient Anglo-Saxon word "wyrm" has been translated as meaning any of "dragon," "serpent," or "worm". An English folktale, which dates back to the early fifteenth century, tells of Sir John Lambton battling "the Worm." The original story makes no mention of this "worm" having legs. Early pictorial representations of dragons were almost always shown as large snakes, but from the sixteenth century onward images associated with the Lambton story are of four-legged dragons. We must consider ancient dragons to be more like giant serpents, and less like the more modern fantasy images that we know so well from role-playing games and books like The Hobbit.

The Bible interchanges the words dragon and serpent liberally...

Revelation 12:7 "When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child..."

"Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth."

Job 41

1 "Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook
or tie down his tongue with a rope?

2 Can you put a cord through his nose
or pierce his jaw with a hook?

3 Will he keep begging you for mercy?
Will he speak to you with gentle words?

4 Will he make an agreement with you
for you to take him as your slave for life?

5 Can you make a pet of him like a bird
or put him on a leash for your girls?

6 Will traders barter for him?
Will they divide him up among the merchants?

7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons
or his head with fishing spears?

8 If you lay a hand on him,
you will remember the struggle and never do it again!

9 Any hope of subduing him is false;
the mere sight of him is overpowering.

10 No one is fierce enough to rouse him.
Who then is able to stand against me?

11 Who has a claim against me that I must pay?
Everything under heaven belongs to me.

12 "I will not fail to speak of his limbs,
his strength and his graceful form.

13 Who can strip off his outer coat?
Who would approach him with a bridle?

14 Who dares open the doors of his mouth,
ringed about with his fearsome teeth?

15 His back has rows of shields
tightly sealed together;

16 each is so close to the next
that no air can pass between.

17 They are joined fast to one another;
they cling together and cannot be parted.

18 His snorting throws out flashes of light;
his eyes are like the rays of dawn.

19 Firebrands stream from his mouth;
sparks of fire shoot out.

20 Smoke pours from his nostrils
as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.

21 His breath sets coals ablaze,
and flames dart from his mouth.

22 Strength resides in his neck;
dismay goes before him.

23 The folds of his flesh are tightly joined;
they are firm and immovable.

24 His chest is hard as rock,
hard as a lower millstone.

25 When he rises up, the mighty are terrified;
they retreat before his thrashing.

26 The sword that reaches him has no effect,
nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.

27 Iron he treats like straw
and bronze like rotten wood.

28 Arrows do not make him flee;
slingstones are like chaff to him.

29 A club seems to him but a piece of straw;
he laughs at the rattling of the lance.

30 His undersides are jagged potsherds,
leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.

31 He makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron
and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.

32 Behind him he leaves a glistening wake;
one would think the deep had white hair.

33 Nothing on earth is his equal-
a creature without fear.

34 He looks down on all that are haughty;
he is king over all that are proud."

Einstein said
"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."

"We are made of star stuff," said the astronomer Carl Sagan.

Jesus came to reveal the Father (; ), to do His will (), to fulfill prophecy (), to reconcile the world (), and to become our High Priest ().

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." (1 Thessalonians 4:1618)

Jesus Christ said, "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom . . ." (Matthew 24:67).

Twenty-five centuries ago, the prophet Joel saw a divine vision concerning our generation and prophesied the following message: "Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up. Beat your plow shares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong" (Joel 3:910). Jesus also warned, "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened" (Matthew 24: 2122).

Jesus Christ described the final conflict facing mankind in these words: "Upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; . . . men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken" (Luke 21: 2526).

The prophet John revealed that the first Horseman of the Apocalypse would be a rider on a white horse with a bow but no arrows. This symbol represents the Antichrist impersonating the true Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, who will appear riding on a white horse during His triumphant return to earth (Revelation 19).

John prophesied: "I looked, and behold, a white horse. And he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer." The Antichrist will use men's deep longing for peace "to conquer" and "Deceive" the world's nations and force them to join his world government.

"And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went our another horse that was red; and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword" (Revelation 6: 34).

Non-Christians find it hard to believe we are living in the last days of earth's history. It's in the Bible, II Peter 3:3-4, TLB. "First, I want to remind you that in the last days there will come scoffers who will do every wrong they can think of, and laugh at the truth. This will be their line of argument: 'So Jesus promised to come back, did He? Then where is He? He'll never come! Why, as far back as anyone can remember everything has remained exactly as it was since the first day of creation.'"

The coming of the Antichrist is a sign of the end. It's in the Bible, I John 2:18, TLB. "Dear children, this world's last hour has come. You have heard about the Antichrist who is coming-the one who is against Christ-and already many such persons have appeared. This makes us all the more certain that the end of the world is near."

Did Jesus say when the end would come? It's in the Bible, Matthew 24:14, NIV. "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."

Men posing as Jesus will try to deceive people in the last days. It's in the Bible, Matthew 24:23-24, NIV. "At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There He is!' do not believe it. For false Christ's and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect-if that were possible."

There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. It's in the Bible, Matthew 24:29-30, NIV. "Immediately after the distress of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory."

What moral conditions will be characteristic of society in the last days? It's in the Bible, II Timothy 3:1-5, NIV. "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them."

An increase in knowledge and travel is a sign of the last days. It's in the Bible, Daniel 12:4, TLB. "But Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal it up so that it will not be understood until the end times, when travel and education shall be vastly increased!"

What other signs of the last days does the Bible mention? It's in the Bible, Luke 21:25-26, NIV. "There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken."

Talk of peace and safety are a sign of the last days. It's in the Bible, I Thessalonians 5:2-3, NIV. "For you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, 'Peace and safety,' destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape."

What are people to do when they see these things taking place? It's in the Bible, Matthew 24:42-44, TLB. "So be prepared, for you don't know what day your Lord is coming. Just as a man can prevent trouble from thieves by keeping watch for them, so you can avoid trouble by always being ready for My unannounced return."

There are different classifications of signs which point to Jesus' coming.

The first classification of signs are signs within the church on earth. Those signs are:

a. The coming of false Christs, false prophets and teachers, who are little antichrists,

Matthew 24:4 And answering, Jesus said to them, "Watch out that no one deceives you.

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets will arise and will deceive many.

b. The rise of false religions and churches and sects

Matthew 24:4 And answering, Jesus said to them, "Watch out that no one deceives you.

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets will arise and will deceive many.

c. The rise of false teachings and doctrines which come from demons

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, following deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,
1 Timothy 4:2 by means of the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, who have been seared in their own conscience with a red hot branding iron,
1 Timothy 4:3 who forbid people to marry and command them to abstain from food which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

d. Lying wonders, miracles and signs performed by the false prophets and teachers by the power of the devil

2 Thessalonians 2:9 . . . namely, the one whose coming is in accordance with the working of Satan in all power and signs and lying wonders.

Matthew 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will perform great signs and wonders, in order to deceive, if that were possible, even the elect.

e. The Great Antichrist: All false prophets and teachers whose teachings conflict with Christ and his pure gospel are little antichrists. They put themselves and their teachings in place of Christ. There is one Great Antichrist, however, whose coming 1 John 2:18 and 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 spoke of. The presence of these antichrists tell us we are in the last hour leading up to Christ's second coming in glory.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 John 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;
1 Johon 4:3 And every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and is now already in the world.

2 John 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour, and just as you heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. From this fact we know that it is the last hour.

2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we request you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,
2 Thessalonians 2:2 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure, nor be disturbed either by a spirit or by a message or by a letter as to have come from us, that the day of the Lord has come.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Not anyone should deceive you in any way, because that day will not come unless the apostasy should come first and the man of lawlessness should be revealed, the son of destruction,
2 Thessalonians 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself over everything that is called God or an object of worship, so that he sits in the temple of God displaying himself that he is God.
2 Thessalonians 2:5 Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?
2 Thessalonians 2:6 And you know what is restraining him now, so that he would be revealed in his own time.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who is restraining him now will do so until he should be taken out of the way.
2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the appearance of his coming,
2 Thessalonians 2:9 namely, the one whose coming is in accordance with the working of Satan in all power and signs and lying wonders,
2 Thessalonians 2:10 and with all deception of wickedness to those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, so that they would be saved.
2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this reason God sends them a deluding influence, so they believe the lie,
2 Thessalonians 2:12 in order that all who did not believe the truth but delighted in the wickedness may be condemned.

f. The persecution of the church

Matthew 24:9 Then they will deliver you up to affliction, and they will kill you, and you will continue being hated by all nations because of my name.

Mark 13:9 But you indeed watch out for yourselves! They will hand you over to the local councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues, and you will be stood before governors and kings on account of me for a testimony to them.
Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
Mark 13:11 And when they lead you away and hand you over, do not concern yourselves beforehand about what you should say, but whatever may be given to you in that hour - speak this, for indeed you are not the ones who speak but the Holy Spirit.
Mark 13:12 And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against their parents and will put them to death.
Mark 13:13 And you will continue being hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end, this one will be saved.

g. The apostasy or falling away from the church

Matthew 24:10 And at that time many will fall away, and they will betray one another, and they will hate one another.

Mark 13:12 And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against their parents and will put them to death.
Mark 13:13 And you will continue being hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end, this one will be saved.

2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we request you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,
2 Thessalonians 2:2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure, nor be disturbed either by a spirit or by a message or by a letter as to have come from us, that the day of the Lord has come.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Not anyone should deceive you in any way, because that day will not come unless the apostasy should come first and the man of lawlessness should be revealed, the son of destruction, . . .

h. The preaching of the gospel in all the world.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

i. Scoffers will ridicule the coming of the end.

2 Peter 3:3 Know this first of all, that in the last days scoffers will come with their scoffing, conducting themselves according to their own evil desires
2 Peter 3:4 and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue in this manner from the beginning of creation."

The second classification of signs are signs within society. Those signs are:

a. Wars, rumors of wars, one nationality or race against another creating racial unrest, one country with its government against another

Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet.
Matthew 24:7 For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, . . .

b. Revolutions. The Greek word indicates insurrections, civil disturbances, disorders, unruliness, and unrest.

Luke 21:9 But when you should hear of wars and revolutions, do not be terrified. For these things must happen first, but the end does not come immediately.

c. An increase of wickedness and lovelessness

Matthew 24:12 And because of the multiplying of lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold.

d. Materialism and hedonism and ignorance of the end's coming, which Jesus describes as the condition leading up to the time of his sudden appearing. The people will be oblivious to his coming and the destruction of the world.

Luke 17:20 Now, after he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation,
Luke 17:21 nor will they say, 'Behold, here it is,' or, 'Behold, there it is,' for the kingdom of God is within you."
Luke 17:22 And he said to the disciples, "The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
Luke 17:23 And they will say to you, 'Behold, there he is!' or, 'Behold, here he is!' Do not depart nor run after them.
Luke 17:24 For just as the lightning when it flashes from one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
Luke 17:25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
Luke 17:26 And just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:
Luke 17:27 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
Luke 17:28 It was the same as in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;
Luke 17:29 but that day when Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
Luke 17:30 It will be in just the same way on the day that the Son of Man is revealed."

The third classification of signs are signs within nature. Those signs are: earthquakes, famines, plagues and disease, eclipses, falling stars and meteor showers; storms of all kinds which cause the roaring and tossing of the seas--hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons, cyclones, floods.

Luke 21:11 And there will be great earthquakes and from place to place famines and pestilences, and there will be frightful events and great signs from heaven.

Luke 21:25 And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and there will be upon the earth anguish of the nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and rolling waves,
Luke 21:26 people fainting from fear and expectation because of what is coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

The fourth classification of signs are the specific signs which are:

a. Satan's short period of release to deceive the nations and to attack the church with his false teachings

Revelation 20:1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
Revelation 20:2 And he seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil, and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
Revelation 20:3 and cast him into the abyss and locked and sealed it over him, in order that he may not deceive the nations any more until the thousand years should come to an end. After that he must be released for a short time.

Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years should come to an end, Satan will be released from his prison,
Revelation 20:8 and he will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the battle; whose number is like the sand of the seashore.
Revelation 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth and they surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down out of heaven and devoured them.

b. The destruction of the universe. The sun will turn black and no longer shine. The moon will turn blood red and no longer shine. The stars will fall from the heavens. The planets will fall out of their orbits. The physical forces within nature will cease and the whole universe will fall apart and be destroyed in a tremendous, deafening roar. On earth a gigantic earthquake will level everything. Every mountain range will be flattened and every island sunk. The seas will roar and rage wildly and cause flooding. The earth's atmosphere will be removed, rolling up, and disappearing. The people on earth will be terrified to death and mourn, for the day of their judgment has come.

Joel 2:30 And I will give wonders in the heavens and on the earth, Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
Joel 2:31 The sun will be turned to darkness, And the moon to blood, Before the great and dreadful day of the Lord comes.

Matthew 24:29 Now immediately after the tribulation of those days, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL FROM HEAVEN, AND THE POWERS OF THE HEAVENS WILL BE SHAKEN.
Matthew 24:30 And at that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the nations of the earth will mourn. And they will see the SON OF MAN COMING UPON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory.

Mark 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT,
Mark 13:25 AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
Mark 13:26 And then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN THE CLOUDS with great power and glory.

Revelation 6:12 And I looked when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood,
Revelation 6:13 and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, like a fig tree drops its late figs when shaken by a strong wind,
Revelation 6:14 and the heaven was split like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved from their places.
Revelation 6:15 And the kings of the earth and the great men and the military commanders and the rich and the mighty and every slave and every free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains,
Revelation 6:16 and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,
Revelation 6:17 because the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will disappear with a roar, and the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and the works in it will be burned up.

Note: Genesis 8:22 makes it clear that the preceding must be the final, last signs which usher in Jesus' appearance on the last day, for God has promised that day and night and the seasons will not cease until the very end, which the destruction of the sun and universe will bring to an end.

Genesis 8:22 "While all the days of the earth continue, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never cease."

Have these signs all been fulfilled?

In this Bible study the signs have been classified according to the signs within the church, society, nature, and the specific signs. The signs within the church, society and nature are general and former signs. The specific signs are latter signs at the end. The specific and latter signs take place as the day of judgment draws nearer but in different intervals of time so no definite date can be ascertained.

All the signs within the church, society, and nature have been fulfilled in kind.

In Matthew 24:29,30, which are printed above, we saw that Jesus tells us immediately after the signs in the church, society, and nature have been fulfilled, the universe will be destroyed and he will appear. These general, former signs have been fulfilled in kind. Christ has not yet appeared and the end has not yet come, however. This indicates that while all these general, former signs have been fulfilled in kind, they have not yet been fulfilled in number. We have not yet seen the total number of wars and rumors of wars, famines, and pestilences, or of the rest of these general, former signs.

The preaching of the gospel in all the world is one of the signs which must be fulfilled before Christ comes at the end. This, too, has been fulfilled. It began to be fulfilled by the apostles and has continued to be fulfilled by the church since then.

Romans 1:8 First, I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.

1 Thessalonians 1:8 For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.

Acts 19:10 Now this happened for two years, with the result that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

1 Timothy 3:16 Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: Who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in spirit, Was seen by angels, Was proclaimed among the nations, Was believed on in the world, Was taken up in glory.

We humans will experience these signs as terrible tribulations which bring pain and suffering to body, soul, and mind, and cause distress, anguish and fear.

Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet.
Matthew 24:8 But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.

Matthew 24:21 For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not taken place since the beginning of the world until the present, nor ever will take place.
Matthew 24:22 And if those days had not been shortened, no person would have been saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

Matthew 24:29 Now immediately after the tribulation of those days, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL FROM HEAVEN, AND THE POWERS OF THE HEAVENS WILL BE SHAKEN.

Revelation 7:14 "These are the ones who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

2 Timothy 3:1 Know this for sure! In the last days times that will be hard to bear will be at hand.

Because of the terrible nature of the general, former signs in the church, society, and nature, they are abnormalities and disturbances contrary to what the state of things should be like as God created them to be in the beginning.

The signs serve a purpose.

They are portends foretelling the coming of the end of the world as Martin Luther saw them to be. He is quoted by August Pieper (Christian Dogmatics, Vol.III, p.517) as having written: "Heaven and earth creak and crack like an old house ready to crash and collapse and act in every way as though they divined that the world is soon to come to an end and that The Day is close at hand."

We know Jesus' love for us. He proved that with his sacrificial death for us on the cross. Let's look at his giving of these signs from the standpoint of his love for us. When we do, we see that the signs serve:

To forewarn us of the tribulations and evils which were coming, so we would be prepared for them when they occurred.
To prevent us from falling into undue fear and worry when we see them occurring.
To keep us from carnal security as a result of our thinking the day of judgment is far away.
To give us courage and boldness in standing firm in the Christian faith as we see these signs declaring the end is near, so we do not give in to fear and timidity in standing up for Christ and the gospel.
To confirm our hope and confidence that he is coming very soon to bring us our eternal salvation in heaven.
To alert us that his coming is at hand.
To confirm and verify his Word is true. What he has told us is coming to pass, so we can be sure all his promises will come to pass as well.

A mass conversion of the Jews is not a sign of the end as some claim. There will be no mass conversion of the nation of Israel just before the end.

Those who believe there will be a mass conversion of the Jews just before the end point to Romans 11,25,26 as their proof text.

Romans 11:25 For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so you should not be wise in your own opinion, that a hardening in part has happened to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles should come in,
Romans 11:26 and in this way all Israel will be saved; just as it is written: "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION; HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.

Those who contend for a mass conversion of the Jewish nation before the end understand Romans 11:25 to say the nation of Israel will remain spiritually hardened in unbelief until the time all the Gentiles who will be brought to faith and saved are brought into the church. When all the Gentiles are converted a change will then take place in the nation of Israel. Accordingly they read the opening words of Romans 11:26 as "And then" all Israel will be saved.

These advocates of a mass conversion of the nation of Israel fail to see that Romans 11:25 says, "Israel has experienced a hardening in part." The verse does not say all of Israel has experienced a spiritual hardening of heart, but only a part of Israel has become spiritually hardened. The others are not hardened in unbelief but have, or will, come to faith in Jesus. As Romans 11:5 also states: "In the same way also then, at the present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace."

The contenders for a mass conversion of Israel take the term Israel in Romans 11:25,26 to mean the physical descendants of the Jewish nation. They fail to see that Paul made a distinction between those who were the physical descendants of the Jewish nation and those who made up the true spiritual Israel of God. It is this true spiritual Israel whom Paul means in Romans 11:25,26. In Romans 11:1-5 Paul discussed the people of Israel who were saved. The Israel of which Paul said were saved were some of the Jews, a remnant, consisting of those whom God foreknew and chose by grace for salvation. They were the elect among the Jewish nation.

Romans 11:1 I say then, God has not rejected his people, has he? May it never be! For I am also an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Romans 11:2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah? How he appeals to God against Israel,
Romans 11:3 "LORD, YOUR PROPHETS THEY HAVE KILLED, YOUR ALTARS THEY HAVE TORN DOWN, AND I ALONE AM

LEFT, AND THEY ARE SEEKING MY LIFE."
Romans 11:4 But what does the divine answer say to him? "I HAVE KEPT for myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN, WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL."
Romans 11:5 In the same way also then, at the present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

Paul clearly distinguished between the physical descendants of Israel and the true, spiritual, elect of Israel in Romans 9. He stated that not all the physical descendants of the Israelite nation are Israel, the people of God. He said not all Israel is Israel. Only those who believed God's promise, as Abraham did, are the true Israelites. As you read Romans 9:1-8 below, take special note of Romans 9:6-8.

Romans 9:1 I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience is bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,
Romans 9:2 that I have great sorrow and constant grief in my heart.
Romans 9:3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ in place of my brothers, those of my own race according to the flesh,
Romans 9:4 who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the law and the worship and the promises,
Romans 9:5 whose are the fathers and from whom is Christ according to the flesh; who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.
Romans 9:6 But it is by no means as if the word of God had failed. For not all those who descended from Israel are Israel,
Romans 9:7 nor because they are descendants of Abraham are they all children, but IN ISAAC WILL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE CALLED.
Romans 9:8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God; on the contrary, the children of the promise are considered the descendants.

The advocates for a mass conversion of the Jews misunderstand the meaning of the word "until" in Romans 11:25. Contrary to what they think, the word "until" does not necessarily mean that part of the Jews will remain spiritually hardened through the entire time the elect among the Gentiles are being gathered into the church of believers and then the situation will change when there will be no more spiritually hardened, unbelieving Jews, so that in the end all Israel will be saved. "Until" in this verse does not mean this condition of hardening exists up to a point, then changes, any more than it means in the Greek of 2 Samuel 6:23 that Michal, the daughter of Saul, had no child until her death but that she then bore children after she died.

Those contending for a mass conversion of the Jews also misread the opening words of Romans 11:26 as "And then". They see the Jews remaining hardened in unbelief until all the elect of the Gentiles are gathered in, at which time a change will come over the Jews, "and then" all Israel, the physical descendants of the Jews, will be saved. The words "And then", however, literally mean in the original Greek "and so, and in this way or manner."

What Romans 11:25,26 are saying is: Only part of the nation of Israel is hardened in unbelief, not all of the Jews are so hardened. Throughout the time the elect among the Gentiles are coming into the church of believers, there will be those among the Jews who will refuse to believe. Other Jews who are the elect of God and who are not among the hardened of Israel will also be gathered into the church of believers right up to the end of time when all the elect among the Gentiles will have been converted. And so, in this way and manner, all Israel, the true spiritual Israel of both Jews and Gentiles who were elected by grace, will be saved. It should be noted that some have advocated that "all Israel" refers to the spiritual Israel of those Jews who were elected by grace. This is also a scriptural possibility. In either case, "all Israel," surely does not mean all the physical descendants of the Jews.

Applying the Scriptures:

1. Reread Titus 2:13 and Hebrews 9:28 below. We have learned what the signs pointing to Jesus' coming are. We have also learned that we can see those signs now and that they have been fulfilled in kind. On the basis of these passages what kind of a spirit prevailed in the early church and what does it indicate our spirit as Christians will be today?

Titus 2:13: ". . . while we wait for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, . . ."

Hebrews 9:28: ". . . so also Christ, who was offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear for a second time apart from sin to those who eagerly await him for salvation."

2. In what ways are you able to see these signs within the church today?

False Christs and false prophets? The little antichrists?
False religions, churches, sects, and cults?
False doctrines and teachings within the visible church?
Lying wonders, miracles, and signs?
The Great Antichrist?
The persecution of the church?
The apostasy or falling away within the church?
The preaching of the gospel throughout the world?
Scoffers who ridicule the coming of Christ and the end?

3. Seeing the above signs within the church and within the religions and cults in the world, what spiritual lessons should we now draw with regard to them on the basis of the following passages?

Matthew 24:4: And answering, Jesus said to them, "Watch out that no one deceives you."

Romans 16:17: Now I urge you, brothers, take note of those who cause dissensions and obstacles to make you fall contrary to the doctrine that you have learned, and turn away from them.

2 John 9-11: Everyone who goes further than is right and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God. He who continues in the teaching, this one has both the Father and the Son. If someone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house and do not express a greeting to him. For he who expresses a greeting to him shares in his wicked works.

2 Thessalonians 2:1,2: Now we request you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure, nor be disturbed either by a spirit or by a message or by a letter as to have come from us, that the day of the Lord has come.

4. As far as the signs within the church, what do they mean to you and to your spiritual life and faith?

5. In what ways are you able to see these signs within society?

Wars?
Rumors of wars?
Nationality and ethnic heritage against nationality and ethnic heritage?
One country and its government against another country and its government?
Revolutions?
An increase of wickedness
An increase of lovelessness?

6. Seeing these signs within society, what spiritual advice can we draw from our Lord based on the following passages?

Matthew 24:6-8,13: "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes from place to place. But all these things are the beginning of birth pains. . . But the one who endures to the end, this one will be saved."

Luke 21:9: "But when you should hear of wars and revolutions, do not be terrified. For these things must happen first, but the end does not come immediately."

7. What do these signs within society mean to you and to your faith and spiritual life?

8 Are we able to see these signs in nature? Where? When?

Earthquakes?
Famines?
Plagues and pestilence and disease?
Eclipses?
Falling stars and meteors?
Storms--hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, severe thunderstorms?
Floods?

9. What do seeing these signs within nature mean to you and your faith and spiritual life?

10. What can we expect conditions for us Christians to be like during the short period of time Satan is unleashed before the end based on the following passages?

Matthew 24:21,22: "For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not taken place since the beginning of the world until the present, nor ever will take place. And if those days had not been shortened, no person would have been saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."

Mark 13:19,20: "For those days will be a tribulation of such a kind as has not taken place from the beginning of creation, which God created, until the present, and never will take place. And if the Lord had not shortened those days, no person would have been saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened those days."

11. In your opinion during the short time of the devil's unleashing, what might we expect with regard to the occult, black arts, wickedness, demonic activities, angelic appearances and sightings of demons? And how do you think we will feel about these things at the time?

12. We discussed whether we could see the fulfillment of the general signs and their purpose. Would you say that some of these signs are so striking and so easily recognizable that even the unbelievers should be able to note from many of them that the end of the world and the return of Christ are impending?

13. The abnormalities of the signs were discussed in this study. Would you say people's failure to recognize these abnormalities as signs of Christ's coming and the end of the world is a result of a spiritual dullness? Should these unnatural and abnormal signs, which are considered natural and normal, not strike us all?

14. What do the nature of the signs mean to you and your faith and spiritual life now, knowing they are abnormalities which you hear or see constantly?

15. Having studied the signs, in your opinion what time is it in the world now?

Prepare Ye the Way - the Purpose of Prophecy

Prophecy is a message from the Universe to prepare people for future events. When we are aware of things to come, we can set aright in our minds and hearts our relationship with the Universe and be prepared to handle these circumstances in the best way possible.

This is one of the most important purposes of prophecy, as outlined in the Bible: preparation within so that we can handle the changes that appear without. For example, in the fourth chapter of Genesis from the Holy Bible, we see the first prophecy of a Messiah thousands of years before He was to appear. This inspired a special group called the Essenes, the expectant ones, who were fundamental in bringing the Messiah to the Earth.

One area that confuses people about prophecy is the timetable: when is the prophecy supposed to occur. We have prophecies by Edgar Cayce and Paul Solomon that mark certain periods of time for earth changes and the Second Coming, especially near the end of the 20th Century. However, these are time estimates created from the Sources Solomon and Cayce tapped, when these Sources attempted to convert the prophecy into linear, physical timetables.

The key to understanding prophecy timetables is to realize that it is not expressed by time in a linear sense, but by signs of the times to be more correct. Linear time is a human concept limited to the physical plane. Prophecies are given from the spiritual planes, and chains of events leading up to the major event mark time. So if we want to understand prophecy time frames, then we have to realize that prophetic signs are not ruled by linear time. Once we are able to see the prophetic signs, or events, we are surrounded by, then we can respond accordingly and better understand the prophecies as given in the Bible and by modern day prophets.

Another law that governs prophecy is the Law of Cause and Effect, or action and reaction. This law was explained by Jesus when He gave the parable of the sower: that what you sow today is what you will reap tomorrow. The prophecy formula is simple: past + present = future. It affects us on a personal level as well as Universal. If I do something in the past in a certain manner and add to it what I am doing today in a certain manner, then I should be able to know what type of future I have created for myself. This applies to all situations of life, people, money, possessions, and so on.

The prophecies of the Universe work in a like manner. The Universe is aware of the past of the people, and knows how they are living in the present, which creates the prediction for the future. So the Universe sends a prophet to inform the people of the future they are creating and a plan to deal with the prophecy.

This brings us to an interesting question : Can we really change a prophecy from the Universe? I say yes. If the prophet is truly of the One, the All, then the prophet will not only give a prophecy but also a plan of salvation that can alter the possible future to inspire the people to change. This can also be seen in the Cayce and Solomon prophesies. To get a better understanding of the purpose of the prophet, we will look at a story in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.

There was once a man named Jonah. He was told by the Universe to go to a place called Ninevah and deliver to them a prophecy stating that their whole city was going to be destroyed if they continued in their ways. Now Jonah did not want to be a bearer of bad news, so he jumped aboard a ship, hoping to escape the task before him. While on board, the Universe caused the crew to throw Jonah overboard where he was swallowed up by a giant fish, and in the belly of the fish he prayed over his problem. Finally Jonah gave in to the Universe, and the fish delivered him to the shore from where he proceeded to Ninevah, walking through the streets, giving them Gods message to repent or their city would be destroyed in forty days. Immediately, the people responded, everyone and their animals put on sackcloth and began fasting. After forty days, the city was not destroyed. The people had changed their ways by responding to the prophecy. Jonah's message in the present to the people concerning their past caused the people to change their future because of the way they responded.

The Universe has never allowed us to enter into a situation we could not change if we desired. The Universe's love for us is too great to allow us to destroy ourselves without giving us an opportunity to be lifted by Its guidance. This is the whole purpose of prophecy. However, though the Universe can send the Light Bearers, it is our choice to listen.

Another way to interpret prophecy is through its symbolism.

A good example of how this works is in the second chapter of Daniel, when Daniel had to recall and interpret the king's dreams or be killed. Daniel was considered a sleeping prophet. Someone who went to sleep, or a into a trance in today's terminology, to receive messages from the Universe. To recall the king's dream, he and his associates go into a room where Daniel laid down and went to sleep into his trance state. Daniel is asked, while under trance, to tell them the king's dream and its interpretation. When he awoke, they told him what he had said, and he took the information to the king, saving their lives.

We were also seeing a change in our society. Things were happening to people on a more personal level. They were not content with just accepting things at face value, but wanted to know what is the real truth. The government is more of the outward manifestation of what is happening to the people as a whole. Possibly later, if we have not changed sufficiently within ourselves, we will still see the physical manifestations of the earthquakes in the future. We do have a choice.

This is the work of modern day prophets. They have to be aware of where we are, as a society, in our development. They have to reflect the society we live in so that we may react accordingly to bring about the changes that will build a closer relationship between us and the Universe. The reason we must study the prophets in the Bible and the way they speak is so we may understand and be able to discern true prophecy in this time. The Universe will always guide us.

This leads us to an incident of a modern day Ninevah and how, through the following of an important prophecy, we, with the help of many others, were able to affect a possible tragic situation for the United States, and its government.

On July 4th, 1973, we contacted the Source wanting to know the outcome of the Watergate situation and if President Nixon would be able to survive, both politically and physically. We were immediately told that we were children asking for wisdom and we should be aware of the responsibility of this type of question. We should be prepared to share this information with others in hopes of taking some type of action that would possibly aid in the outcome. We were also told that this information was being given in seven other places that same evening because of the urgency of the situation.

They began telling us how President Nixon was going to go through an incredible change because of the Watergate affair. All of his closest friends were going to turn on him and he would be forced into leaving office. The whole government would possibly fall apart because there was not time for someone

to be properly prepared to take the President's place. They indicated there would be some startling changes just a few weeks after the President would leave office, if he were to leave office that soon. We were told to begin prayer groups, which we did throughout several states, to pray for the President and for the government that they might sustain through this crisis.

The President did not leave office at that time. However, several weeks later Vice-president Agnew was forced to leave office because of a tax scandal. This was shocking because if President Nixon had left office, leaving Vice-President Agnew to go through his scandal, it would have left our country in a very weak position without adequate leadership which could have caused much turmoil at home and abroad.

President Nixon stayed in office and chose Gerald Ford to be his new Vice-President. Mr. Ford was someone who did not have any scandals, and was someone who could be prepared to take office leaving our government with strong leadership if Nixon had to step down. Then that next summer, exactly a year later, Watergate broke loose proving Nixon had taken an active part in the break-in and cover-up which condemned him for what he assured the American people he had not done. Yet, when he resigned from office, he had someone to come in that was strong enough to hold our country together and not let it falter for one minute.

It is not so much the receiving of the prophecy, it is not so much the thrill of knowing what is going to happen, but it is what action is taken after the prophecy has been given. This is the work of the true Light Bearers.

The earth changes and Second Coming will be brought into being by the expectancy of the people who are creating in their minds the changes that will manifest in the physical. The particular Universal Law that governs this was given in a reading by both Edgar Cayce and Paul Solomon, which stated, "Mind is the builder."

Through our expectancy, we are bringing into manifestation that which will come as the earth changes, the Second Coming, and the raising of the consciousness of human to its Oneness with the Universe. We must realize that in preparing our minds to bring forth those happenings as indicated in the Bible, we can actually change the world and our lives in the same manner as the Essenes, who , through their expectancy, prepared the way for the Christ two thousand years ago.

That's what the Bible says, here is what the Qur'an tells us:

The basic teachings of Islam call for the brutal destruction of all other faiths. The Qur'an lists Jews and Christians as its main targets.

With so much blood on the hands of Islam Arabs, one would think the non-Muslim world would be hostile to them. Of course, this has not been the case. Despite scenes of crazed Islamic lunatics firing on helpless children and almost daily reports of suicide bombings, very little anger is being pointed in Islam's direction.

Many evangelical leaders have bought into the belief that all paths lead to God.

One evangelist has repeatedly implied that Islam and Christianity are on equal terms. He bases this view on the Islamic verse that says Jesus will return to this planet to set up an earthly kingdom

It is rather bizarre for an evangelist to use words that you would expect to hear coming out of the mouth of Antichrist or the false prophet. It is doubly ironic that, in the next program, he used 1 Timothy 4:1 as a warning of the coming apostasy.

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils" (1 Tim. 4:1).

The Qur'an should never be used by a Christian as a source of truth. While it may include some positive statements about moral living, it also contains passages that directly contradict the Bible:

"The only true faith in God's sight is Islam" (Surah 3:19).

"Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends" (Surah 5:51).

"And say: All praise is due to Allah, WHO HAS NOT TAKEN A SON and WHO HAS NOT A PARTNER in the kingdom" (Surah 17:111).

The Return of The Jesus of Islam

There is a prophesy in Islam that goes like this. It says that, in the last days, Jesus (as a human prophet and not the Son of God) will return to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, set it up as His capital to rule the world, Islam will be His religion, and He will give the Muslims an order to kill off all the remaining or remnant of the Christians and Jews which refuse to worship Allah. The prophesy says that the Muslims will ruthlessly hunt down and kill off all the remaining Christians and Jews establishing Islam as the only religion of the world. Jesus will rule the world with his one-world government and church.

Muslims are eagerly looking forward to this coming of their Jesus, Him giving them the order to kill off the remnant of the Christians and Jews, and them killing off the remnant of the Christians and Jews with greater zeal than the Christians are looking forward to the coming of the Biblical Jesus. As a matter of fact, they are working towards doing that now.

Interestingly, the Bible predicts the exact same event from the opposite perspective for the exact same time in history. The Bible says that a man will gain control of the one-world government with the aid of the one-world church, seize control of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, declare himself to be Jesus or the Messiah, and wage war against and attempt to kill the remnant of the Christians and Jews. The big difference is that the Bible doesn't call this man Jesus, it calls him the Antichrist.

The Bible says this war(Rev 6:2), the resulting famine(Rev 6:5), and the resulting epidemics (Rev 6:7) will kill one fourth of the people in the world(Rev 6:8). If you assume that there will be six billion people in the world following the Rapture, this means that the war and its after math will kill off 1.5 billion people globally. This will only leave 4.5 billion people. Each Muslim soldier would only need to kill a little more than one person to achieve this. Islam will bring to the world what it brought to Afghanistan.

The Bible also states that a meteor will kill all of the life from one third of the earth's surface (Rev 8:10)

The Bible says they will and that, shortly before the middle of the Tribulation, God will destroy the City of Babylon (Rev 18). Then the Bible says that a man (Rev 13) will gain power of the global government with the aid of his Muslim prophet, break his treaty with Israel half way through the treaty, capture Jerusalem and establish it as his global capital, establish the Temple on the Temple Mount as the center for the world religion, declare himself to be Jesus or the Messiah, and begin waging war on the remnant of the Jews and Christians along with the two witnesses (Rev 11:3)of the Bible. It is at this point that the Bible and Koran agree and this man will be the Jesus of Islam.

After this point, the Bible takes a different course from Islam and says that the remnant of God's people will flee into the wilderness where the Jesus of Islam will wage war against them for the last half of the Tribulation.

According to the Bible, some time during this period, the Jesus of Islam will capture God's two witnesses (Rev 11:7), put them to death on the streets of Jerusalem, they will be raised from the dead 3.5 days later, a great earth quake will kill 7,000 Jewish males in Jerusalem an hour later, the remaining Jews will realize that Jesus is the Messiah, revolt, and chase the Jesus of Islam out of Israel.

Of course this will infuriate the Jesus of Islam and all of Islam. The Bible says the Jesus of Islam will gather his armies from around the world into the valley of Megiddo (Rev 14:14)to wage a final war against Israel. They will line up from west to east in the valley with the intentions of marching through Israel and murdering every one they can find to make sure they don't miss any one.

At this point, the Bible says the Jesus of the Bible will return (Rev 19), capture the Jesus of Islam and his Muslim prophet, cast them into the Lake of Fire, destroy 100% of the Muslim army, and set up His kingdom where He will rule the world peacefully from Jerusalem for 1,000 years.

After everything I have learned from reading the Bible, the Koran, and studying Islam, I believe that Islam is the one world church, they will rule the world as they have been trying to do for 1,300 years, and the Jesus of Islam will rule from Jerusalem and wage war against the remnant of God's people.

But...Rev 19:11 - "And I saw heaven opened and, behold, a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war."

Let's look at "Surat al-Qamar." In English, qamar means moon. In several instances, this surah relates that the people of Noah, `Ad, Thamud, Lut, and Pharaoh were destroyed because they ignored the Prophets sent to them. At the same time, its first verse contains a very important message about the Last Day.

The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split. (Surat al-Qamar, 54:1)

The word "split" used in this verse is the Arabic shaqqa, which in Arabic it has various meanings. In some commentaries on the Qur'an, the meaning "split" is preferred. But shaqqa in Arabic can also mean "plowing" or "digging" the earth.

As an example of the first usage, we can refer to the 26th verse of Surat al-Abasa:

We pour down plentiful water, then split the ground into furrows. Then We make grain grow in it, and grapes and herbs and olives and dates. (Surah `Abasa, 80:25-29)

Clearly, the meaning of shaqqa here is not to "split," but to "plow" the ground in order to grow various plants.

Here we see one of the great wonders of the Qur'an. The experiments carried out on the Moon's surface on July 20, 1969, may be hinting at the fulfillment of this verse. On that date, American astronauts set foot on the Moon and, digging up some lunar soil, they carried out scientific experiments and collected stone and soil samples. It is surely very interesting that these developments are in complete agreement with this verse.

"The splitting of the moon," one meaning of which the Qur'an relates as a sign of the approach of Doomsday, came true on July 20, 1969, when American astronauts set foot on the moon and dug the lunar soil. (God knows best.)

The following hadith reveals an important war that will take place in the End Times:

There will be tumult in Shawwal [the tenth Islamic month], talks of war in Dhu al-Qa'dah [the eleventh Islamic month], and the outbreak of war in Dhu al-Hijja [the twelfh month]. (Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-Ashrat as-Sa'ah, p. 166)

These three months coincide with the months during which the Iran-Iraq war developed.

A nation/tribe will come from the Farsi direction, saying: "You Arabs! You have been too zealous! If you don't give them their due rights, nobody will have an alliance with you ... It must be given to them one day and to you the following day, and mutual promises must be kept ..." They will be going up Mutekh; Muslims will be coming down to the plain ... Mushrikun [idolaters] will be standing over there on the bank of a black river [Rakabeh] on the other side. There will be a war between them. God will deprive both armies of a victory ... (Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 179)

Further, as noted by the hadith, the Iran-Iraq war lasted for 8 years and, despite the many thousands of casualties, neither side could claim victory or a decisive superiority.

No doubt, Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) will come to Earth. Close to his advent, some signs and fitna will appear."
(Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib fi Bayan Anna'l Mahdi min
Awladi Ali b. Abu Talib Ale't-Tamam ve'l Qamal, p. 151)

As the hadith above reveals, our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) tells us that some signs will appear before Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming. In the light of this information, we will dwell on the signs of this event. As we stated earlier, signs of the Last Day, which herald the Mahdi's appearance and reveal the approach of the Dajjal's fitna, also herald the return of Jesus (pbuh). The Qur'an, the Hadith literature, and the Qur'anic commentaries of Islamic scholars are the main resources on these subjects. These aside, those Biblical explanations that agree with the Islamic sources about Jesus' (pbuh) second coming also provide us with important information.

Despite all of this information, however, some people may raise doubts about whether these signs refer to our day. To deal with this concern, the signs that we will refer in the following pages are so obvious and clear that they leave no room for any doubt. More importantly, in our day all of these signs have appeared - and continue to appear - one after the other. Throughout the history of Islam, some of these signs might have happened to some extent in one particular part of the world or another. Such a situation, however, does not indicate the nearness of the appearance of Jesus (pbuh) and Mahdi. For a certain period to be called the End Times, all of the signs that we will examine in detail must occur in the same period. Some hadiths on the subject are as follows:

Signs following one another like bits of a necklace, falling one after the other when its string is cut.
(Tirmidhi)

When the community engages in these, signs follow one another. These signs chase one another, just as fish break out of their net and escape, chasing one another.
(Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 478)

These hadiths clearly state that the signs of the Last Days will appear consecutively within the same period of time. Some of the events discussed in the following pages may well be regarded as ordinary events, and some people may claim that the conditions prevailing in our day naturally entail the occurrence of these signs. Indeed, some of these signs may happen naturally. However, the fact that all these events are described 1400 years ago thoroughly in a way depicting exactly today's social order, and that they take place in the same period, one following the other, is an extremely important matter. This is clear evidence that our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) drew attention to this period while describing the End Time events.

Examining the Biblical statements and Islamic literature in the light of the information provided above reveals an astounding fact: The signs referring to the End Times have begun to appear, one after another, in the present time, exactly as they are described in these resources. News about the Last Day portrays an exact picture of our day. No doubt, this is a miraculous occurrence upon which we must reflect.

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." - Samuel Adams

I have come to the staggering conclusion that the earth will be subjected to a huge disaster. The cause: the magnetic field of the earth will reverse in an instant, resulting in catastrophic consequences for humanity. Immense earthquakes will flatten all buildings on earth; while continents will shift thousands of kilometres and an all-demolishing tidal wave will leave billions of dead people behind.

Staggering conclusions

The Dresden Codex of the Maya, for instance, contains the secrets of the sunspot cycle. The conclusions that follow are even more staggering. At a certain moment, when the sun's magnetism reaches a crucial point, the sun's surface will be subjected to immense storms. Enormous electro-magnetic forces will then be liberated - with unknown strength - from the interior of the sun. Giant sun-flames will send a gigantic wave of particles to the earth.

What Will Happen?

The particles that are spewed out will set the earth's atmosphere "in flames" and have a real destructive effect on the Van Allen belts. Because of the continuous stream of electromagnetism, the magnetic field of the earth will get overcharged. Trillions of particles will reach the poles. Unknown electric forces will be generated, a nightmare for everybody involved.

Short circuit of the electromagnetic field.

When the poles are filled with auroras from the falling particles, the inevitable will happen: the earth's inner electromagnetic field will get overcharged and will crash. A mega short-circuit with super lethal effects. The planet's entire atmosphere, without magnetic protection, will be bombarded by falling particles.

The earth's magnetic field functions to protect us by directing the electromagnetic particles to the poles, but this would become impossible.

Polar Reversal and Pole Shift

The iron core of the earth is magnetic. Because of the switching of the magnetic core, the earth will start to rotate in the other direction! Because of this, the outer earth's crust will break off! In other words the outer layer will be "floating." It will be on the loose, no longer attached to its "master." If you are on the planet at that moment, it will tilt some thousands of miles in a couple of hours. Looking up in the sky it will seem as if "the sky is coming down," as it is described in the old scriptures! Giant quakes will occur. Earth plates will be moving, mountains will be rising where first there was nothing, land masses will break open and collapse, mountains collapse, land will sink into the ocean, volcanoes erupt in many places. In short, the most terrible nightmare cannot be terrible enough to describe this world's destruction.

They Calculated it!

Now you can ask me: are you sure of what you are saying? My answer: very sure, because the Atlanteans and their descendants the Maya and Old Egyptians knew a theory about the magnetic fields of the sun that even modern astronomers don't know anything of! With this theory they were able to predict the worldwide flood of 9792 BC and the coming one in 2012! Here, I'm asking for your comprehension. I want you to understand that they CALCULATED the end of Atlantis - now buried under the South Pole. Again, they CALCULATED an even more violent end for us. That there is a link between 2012 and 9792 BC is undeniable If we keep ignoring these findings

- we will all die. All alarm bells should be ringing around the world!

The pole shift will not take anyone by surprise, given the plethora of signs that something momentous is around the corner, such as increasing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, intractable droughts and inexplicable downpours, and most telling of all, an increasing slowing of the Earth's rotation. Nevertheless, the exact moment, day, or week to disrupt everyone's schedule and head for the hills or farm seems difficult to determine. Are there countdown signs that can be used as a guide? There are indeed.

The most dramatic sign will be a slowing rotation. Where at the present time, this rate is enough to cause an occasional fraction of a second, per year, of adjustment to the world clock, this will soon change. This increasing slowdown will get diminishing press coverage, as clocks are quietly adjusted behind the scenes and the public allowed to believe their clocks must be running fast. But there will be a point in time, a few days ahead of when rotation stops, when this will get blatantly obvious. When one wakes up in the morning, finding it to be dark outside rather than a breaking dawn, yet the clocks in the house and the entire neighborhood confirm that it is indeed the morning hour - this is a countdown sign. Rotation will completely stop in a day or so, with such a dawn followed by an evening where the Sun seems reluctant to set, setting hours later than usual, and then rotation stops completely.

A second countdown sign is a fine red dust, unmistakable as it cannot be confused with any other natural occurrence. Ponds and rivers turn red, the blood color mentioned in the Bible's book of Revelations, with this iron ore dust giving the water a brackish taste. This countdown sign comes almost in step with the rapid slowing in rotation, as the 12th Planet must be between the Earth and the Sun for the trash in its tail to be sweeping the Earth. Again, this occurs a day or so before rotation stops, and travel will become difficult if not impossible once it does.
Where coming late, for primitive peoples without mechanical clocks there is a third countdown sign that can be scarcely ignored. The Earth moans, during her rotation slowing and stoppage, a sound not heard by humans except during earthquakes. Here, the moaning is chronic, essentially continuous, as though under a stress it cannot relieve with an earthquake, yet cannot bear in silence. For those who question the accuracy of their mechanical clocks, and who may have missed the presence of red dust due to living indoors, this moaning of the Earth is equivalent to the clanging of the fire marshal's bell. Here it comes, ready or not!

This information is not meant for the weak of mind or lazy of heart. This is extremely challenging on many levels, discernment being one of them. It requires a supple intelligence, open mind, contemplative perspective, and the curiosity of calculated observation.

Soon there will be a great change in our world. It is not debatable, it will happen, it certainly will, it will be an adventure. Be prepared. Seek to understand.

Let us begin with the facts that we can verify and see how they relate to various theories.

Every so often, our planet's magnetic poles reverse polarity. Compass needles have always pointed north; in a reversal, they would point south.

We could perhaps take comfort in the knowledge that these reversals happen infrequently-on average every 250,000 years-but maybe not when you consider that it's been over 700,000 years since the last reversal, and the next one may be currently underway.

The Earth's magnetic field is created deep within our planet's outer core through a complex, self-sustaining interaction known as the "geomagnetic dynamo".

At the simplest level, the source of Earth's magnetic field can be thought of as a giant bar magnet within the Earth.

In reality, the magnetic field is created by a complex interaction involving a churning, electrically conducting liquid metal outer core, the release of heat at the surface of the solid inner core, and the spinning motion of the Earth.

It has been assumed by paleomagnetists that geomagnetic pole reversals do not occur instantaneously from one polarity state to the other, but occur over a period that typically spans a few thousand years. However, evidence from lava flows indicates rapid shifts, perhaps taking only a few years, OR "fast enough that it would virtually be possible to watch a compass needle move". Data from the Steens Mountain lava beds in southeastern Oregon, for example, indicate that the geomagnetic poles were moving between 3 degrees and 8 degrees per day!

Effects of a geomagnetic pole reversal on the Earth as a whole is highly speculative, but could involve some dramatic effects. For example, any reversal of the geomagnetic field would influence the electrically conducting outer core of the Earth, particularly at the interface between the outer core and the Earth's mantle. This could result in a massive increase in volcanic activity. The fact that volcanic activity appears cyclical may correlate with the cyclical nature of the planets, Sun, and Moon - including their alignments. Volcanic activity is, in turn, intimately tied to weather and climate -- the massive flooding in the American Midwest during the spring and summer of 1993 was, according to some experts, directly caused by Mount Pinatubo 's eruption in 1991!

In addition to volcanic effects, there is the possibility of a significant increase in the shifting of the continental plates, which would in turn, cause major increases in earthquake activity. While there is no evidence that the disturbances in the outer core-mantle interface would result in a geographical pole shift, the fact remains that such disturbances could act as a trigger for built up pressures in the continental plates. Major continental plate shifts of sufficient strength could then correspond to a geographical pole shift or something approaching such severity. This latter possibility is highly speculative, but not easily dismissed out of hand. It does, however, allow for the possibility that the may need some revisions upward.

From an energy viewpoint, an apparent geographical pole shift is possible by shifting the continental plates, while at the same time, the bulk of the Earth continue to rotate about the same axis. Thus the geographical pole's location with respect to the surface of the Earth and its relationship to the orientation of the continental plates has apparently been shifted, even while the bulk of the Earth continues to rotate essentially as before.

The potential for a Sun-Earth-Jupiter near perfect alignment to cause a geomagnetic pole reversal may be significant. In case of a reversal, or even a relatively short-term excursion of the geomagnetic pole, the results would be considerably more than a disruption of communication links around the globe. The effects of such a pole shift could cause everything from major disruptions in the lives of human and animals (conceivably both positive and negative effects) to catastrophic earth changes. The latter might include extensive volcanic activity, massive earthquakes, and substantial movements of continental plates. The question thus arises: When is the next "window of opportunity" for such an event?

The next peak in sunspot activity is expected in . That date alone is enough to cause some consternation, in that according to some sources the Mayan Calendar ends, and the world will never be quite the same. Meanwhile the Jupiter-Sun oppositions are continuing on an approximate 13-month basis to rotate around the Zodiac. Then on December 2, 2012, the opposition occurs with the Sun in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Gemini. The respective declinations are within one degree of being in exact opposition. The curious part is that the planets, Pluto, Mars, and Venus form with Jupiter something called the "Finger of Destiny" with Jupiter as the focal point. Astrologically, Jupiter is the 'Santa Claus' of the Zodiac and tends to bring good things. Interestingly, enough, this includes death and the release from the trials and tribulations of earthly existence. Thus, this special emphasis on Jupiter can mean release for some and/or an evolutionary ascension for others.

This might suggest that December 2012 is a candidate for a magnetic pole shift of the evolutionary kind. Prophecies of the past concerning 2012 might very well have validity, and when combined with the science of today - its growing understanding of the electromagnetic nature of our Solar System - one tends to suspect that we will soon be living the ancient Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times." But the so-called 'curse', like the Chinese symbol which represents both chaos and opportunity, may prove to be a curse for some and virgin fields of opportunity for others.

What can we in fact expect if a magnetic pole shift (or excursion) occurs? Well in the case of December 2012, consider the astrological interpretations of this particular cosmic event.

Dane Rudhyar, until his death considered by most astrologers to be the dean of astrology, had interpreted a series known as , and these interpretations have become a mainstay of astrological interpretation. If we apply the appropriate symbols for the Sun-Jupiter opposition, we obtain two symbols (and their interpretation).

For the Sun, the symbol is: "A Flag Turns into an Eagle; The Eagle into a Chanticleer saluting the Dawn." That should get your immediate attention. However, there is even more. Rudhyar's interpretation of the Sun's symbol is "The spiritualization and promotion of great symbols of a New Age by minds sensitive to its precursory manifestations". He goes on to say, "the eagle symbolizes spiritual will and the power to rise to the highest possible altitude of and purpose." "It speaks of 'peak experiences' instead of the wisdom found in the organismic depth of the body-consciousness. It urges us to bring our noblest ideals to actual life through the power of the spiritual will."

That view, perhaps, we can handle. Considering the fact that the Eagle has always been a symbol of lofty aims - along with its ability to first sense the rising sun - such a new dawn might be okay. We can, then, with slightly less trepidation, consider the flip side of the opposition.

Rudhyar's interpretation for the Sabian Symbol for Jupiter during this opposition is "Liberation from the ghosts of the past". People discovering new or virgin lands are often carrying such baggage as to inhibit the manifestation of anything resembling a new world. "The Puritans brought to the theoretically 'New World' the fears, the fanaticism and the aggressiveness of their European existence, and these often grew more virulent under the conditions found in the New World. However, no field of activity is every totally 'virgin'. It has its inhabitants, and they cling to their possessions or privileges. Whoever seeks to be truly an individual must be liberated from the past. The new lands are opened, but they are filled with lives, and the pioneer's mind filled with ghosts, preconceptions, and prejudices or expectations. What is needed is a total LIQUIDATION of the past: virgin minds for virgin fields."

One can then make their own personal interpretation of what "Liquidation" might entail. The end of the ? Yea! The end of sliced bread? Maybe (depends of your personal view of carbohydrates and diet). The end of chocolate covered strawberries? Horrors!

The Fifth Element:

can, in general, be viewed as an extension of Classical Mechanics and/or Electromagnetism. The theory is based upon the addition of a single linear term, or element, to the traditional equations in order to account for extreme and abrupt (or sudden changes) in the rate of acceleration in either a particle or charge (or a larger collection of the same).

For example, each of the equations include an element (1) which is the initiation upon a system of a force (be it mechanical, electromagnetic, or otherwise -- i.e. an "initiating action"). This force is fundamentally oscillating or cyclical in nature. In fact, all dynamic systems in physics and engineering are cyclical in nature (or can be approximated as such with the proper mathematics). Fundamentally, the universe is based on , be they collections of trigonometric sine waves, or the business and stock market varieties.

The equations of classical mechanics and electrodynamics also involve three other elements, in addition to the first element (force); which in mechanics, include: (2) position (and the tendency to return to that position; as in a pendulum or spring), (3) resistance to motion (said motion being velocity or speed related), and (4) mass (or inertia), which is associated with acceleration.

In electrodynamics, specifically electrical circuits, the corresponding terms are (1) electromagnetic force, (2) electrical charge (or capacitance), (3) resistance to current (or resistance to charge in motion), and (4) inductance, associated with the change in current or the acceleration of charge. For our purposes, we will view these first four elements as Force, Capacitance, Resistance, and Inertia (in their broadest possible sense).

In Connective Physics, a "Fifth Element" is added. If Capacitance, Resistance, and Inertia are representative of position (of a mass or electrical charge), change of position, and rate of change of position, the Fifth Element constitutes the rate of the rate of change of position (alternatively, the rate of change in acceleration in a mechanical system). In an electrical circuit, the Fifth Element is the acceleration of current (where current is in turn the rate of change of charge with respect to time).

The addition of this Fifth Element is in sharp contrast to the classical version where the time delay between the initiation of an action and the occurrence of a resulting reaction has been implicitly assumed to be zero. This Time Delay is physically significant in any system where there is a sudden or abrupt action and/or where the system by its size or nature is slow to react.

In effect, the Time Delay Fifth Element might very well be an infinitely sized, universal source of energy and power! Moreover, similar to the Resistance term, it is limited strictly to one direction of energy flow. It is just that for the Fifth Element the flow is from the universe to the local system.

relates in turn to philosophy, nature, the human body, and what is becoming increasingly appreciated as the most fundamental aspect of human existence. What was recognized in ancient times is undergoing resurgence of enthusiasm, and in the process allowing for an understanding of the phrase, "the universe is geometry."

In Astronomy, the orbits of all of the planets of our solar system, for example, are related by sacred geometry. This can be seen in the (or graphically in ), where even the sizes of the planets are connected in this manner. The latter refers specifically to the fact that the ratio of the orbit and size of Earth to that of Mercury's size and orbit have the same Golden Ratio connection. Earth and Saturn's orbits and sizes are also both connected by the same geometry.

The appearances of Crop Circles have also shown a heavy influence on geometry. In this case, the apparent construction of anomalous crop circles (those not obviously made by humans) also appears to depend upon the sudden bending of stalks without breaking the stems. Typically, this involves an "explosion" in the nodes of the plant, such that a ninety degree right angle is "easily" attained without disturbing the plant's ability to continue to grow (albeit now horizontally). This bending without the reaction of breaking is just one of many manifestations of the Fifth Element.

The Earth's crust is a thin layer of rock "floating" on the underlying surface of the Earth. If we assume that the proposed close encounter between the Earth and another planetary body results only in the crust being displaced with respect to the rotating Earth's core and mantle, then we potentially solve several problems at once. First, the uneven distribution of the continental land masses over the Earth (as opposed to the ocean depths) provides the gravitational "handle" with which to stop the crust's rotation. Secondly, the restart mechanism is easily made available by virtue of the fact that during the encounter the vast bulk of the Earth's mass would continue to rotate while the crust (or outer shell of the Earth) would move in relation to the core, essentially slipping like a relatively loose belt on a spinning flywheel. Then as the other planetary body pulled away from the encounter and the mutual gravitational force was reduced, the frictional forces between the Earth's rotating core and mantle and the temporary "stationary" crust of the Earth would cause the crust to rather quickly be brought back up to speed. The resulting rotational speed would likely be affected to some extent, but depending upon the specific mechanics of the encounter could be increased or decreased slightly. The number of days in the year would thus be modified by several days either way, but not so changed as to radically change the physical characteristics of the Earth.

In physics there is a parameter called "Schumann's Resonance". Using that we can determine the strength of the earth's magnetic field. While for many centuries, it was constant around 7.80 cycles per second, during the last 7-8 years, it has risen to 11 cycles per second and is continuing to increase dramatically. If you work it out mathematically, it appears that, by the year 2012, the "Schumann's" is likely to be 13 cycles per second.

When this resonance is 13 cycles per second, the earth's core would stop rotating with magnetic field gone, you mind is gone. When I say "your mind", what I mean is your "samskaras" or the imprints left on the subconscious mind by experience. The pressure of the past 11.000 years of samskaras will vanish.

The thought sphere of the human mind is located in the earth's magnetic field. "Mind is Karma". All actions start from your mind. The mind is a storehouse of samskaras (impressions) or past life vasanas, a concept that explains the difference in the various human personalities.

Vasanas literally in , mean fragrance. It also means innate desires, tendencies and innate impressions, which occur from previous births. Vasanas express themselves through your Body, Mind, and Intellect in the world of Objects, Emotions, and Thoughts.

A jiva (alternate spelling, jiwa) is a living being, or more specifically the immortal essence of a living being (human, animal, fish or plant etc.) which survives physical death. It has a very similar usage to '', but whereas atma refers to 'the self', 'jiva' is used to denote a 'living entity' or 'living being' specifically. The concept of the jiva is similar, but not necessarily identical to, the concept of the as presented in . The word itself originates from the Jivás, with the root jīv- 'to breathe'. It has the same Indo-European root as the Latin word Vivus: "Alive".

In the of Hinduism, the jiva is described as , , and . It is said not to be a product of the material world (), but of a higher 'spiritual' nature. At the point of physical death, the jiva takes a new physical body depending on and the individual desires of the particular jiva in question.

The ultimate goal of the jiva is (depending on the particular philosophical tradition you follow):

'liberation' from material existence ()
obtaining pure love of ()
becoming liberated from the happiness and distress of the world, while still being existent within it ().

Brahman is the concept of the supreme spirit found in . Brahman is the unchanging, , , and which is the Divine Ground of all , , , , , and everything beyond in this universe. The nature of Brahman is described as , and by different philosophical schools. The liberated soul () has realized its identity with Brahman as its true self.

This Supreme Cosmic Spirit or Absolute Reality is said to be eternal, genderless, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, and ultimately indescribable in the human language. It can be at best described as infinite Being, infinite Consciousness, and infinite Bliss. Brahman is regarded as the source and essence of the material universe. It is pure being. Brahman manifests as the "world soul", which also can take many forms or manifestations of the thousands of gods.

"Brahman is of the nature of truth, knowledge and infinity". Thus, Brahman is the origin and end of all things, material or otherwise.

It is defined as unknowable and (Truth-Consciousness-Bliss). Since it is and , it comprises the only .

"All paths lead to the one Brahman, though many sages [and religions] call him different things."

The universe is not just conscious, but it is consciousness, and this consciousness is Brahman. Human consciousness has forgotten its identity, that of Brahman, as if a drop of water from a vast ocean thought itself separate, and that the only path to merge back into that Brahman or supreme consciousness is through the paths of devotion, moral living, following the of .

These collective imprints propel us into a certain way of living, it is the tendency to repeat ad nauseam one's past actions. Vasana means fragrance - the fragrance of what we have done and thought of. The smallest action we do in this world leaves its impression, its smell, on our subconscious mind. Whatever we do and whatever we think of, they all leave impressions on us, they pressurize us to repeat ourselves.

Vasanas enter our intellect as thoughts, which we know as desires. After the desire is created in the intellect then the vasana moves on to the mind to express as an agitation. When a person experiences agitation due to his desires it results in him doing, certain actions to achieve fulfill that desire. These actions are dreadful and even criminal. These selfish actions are the ones that leave their footprints in our subconscious minds that eventually become a personality.

Remember that your mind is a storehouse of your vasanas (past life experiences/impressions) from which all action emanates. This is stored in the earth's magnetic field.

So in the year 2012, as the earth's rotation slows to a complete stop, it will become zero for a few days. After that, the core will start rotating again. This would be a fresh beginning for man or the dawn of the Golden Age. This is the significance of the year 2012. How do we know, it will happen? The study of fossil records has shown that, it happens roughly after 11.000 years. It is only a short time away and then we can all start afresh. That is why we must seek to become enlightened by 2012. If we are enlightened, with all our samskaras (impressions) gone, we can begin a new Yuga (era), which can be called Sathya Yuga or the Golden Age. Man will enter a new state of altered consciousness.

As I told you already, the earth's resonance is increasing which means the earth's heart is undergoing a transformation. The earth has a physical body, like you have a body. It has a consciousness as well. Now as the resonance is increasing the earth's heart functioning very differently from before. Now, your heart and the earth's heart are connected. The earth's heart can be influenced by your heart and vice versa. That is why, it is essential that your heartbeat synchronizes with the earth's resonance. This means your heart must flower. Your heart will flower when you discover love in your relationships.

To discover love, you must stop judging your parents, spouses, etc., internally. Nobody can be judged as the whole universe directly influences all events, even the behavior of the people.

So, learn to experience life. Life has to be experienced, be it pain or pleasure.

Another theory suggests that as the earth slows and eventually, briefly, stops rotating all together a Magnetic Field shift will occur, as predicted by the Mayan calendar, which was based on pole shifts. These shifts have occurred repetitively throughout the Earth's history. The Maya, understanding the times between these shifts created their Long count calendar around them and come up with the final date for the next pole shift.

FACT: December 21, 2012 is the Winter Solstice, and provides us with a view that will not be seen again in any of our lifetimes.

At sunrise Dec 21st 2012, Earth will be crossing the galactic equator, aligning itself with the center of the galaxy for the first time in 26,000 years. The Sun will conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way in the ecliptic. This will make a cosmic cross. This cosmic cross is considered the .

This will open a channel for universal energy to flow through Earth, cleansing it and all that dwell upon it, raising all to a higher level of vibration. This process has already begun.

A new dawn of enlightenment would be a step towards progression, in that mankind would become more aware of their surroundings and the impact that they have on the Earth as well as a higher intelligence and consciousness and a better mindset for helping their fellow man.

Most Western monotheistic religions have doctrines claiming that 'chosen' or 'worthy' members of the one true faith will be "spared" or "delivered" from the coming judgement and wrath of God. They will be ushered into paradise before, during, or after it depending upon the end-time scenario to which they hold. As well as the wrath of God at the end of the age there is the wrath of man.

Look around, the material reality that surrounds us is beginning to crack apart, and with it all of our illusions. The global capitalist system that is currently devouring our planetary resources will soon self-destruct; leaving many of us bereft.

Nevertheless, understand the nature of paradox: For those who follow these words and open their hearts and their minds - for those who have "ears to hear" - there is no problem whatsoever. What is false must die in order for what is true to be born.

We are, right now, living in a time of revelation, Apocalypse, and the fulfillment of prophecy. Let there be no doubt. We stand at the edge of the abyss. What are those shadows that crowd around us? They are unintegrated aspects of our own psyche, projected into material form. The word "Apocalypse" means, "uncovering" - and in these last clock ticks of this world age, all must be revealed, uncovered, so that all can be known.

We have just a few years remaining to prepare the vehicle for our higher self. Use them preciously. For those who have gained knowledge of the nature of time, a few years - even a few days, a minute - can be an eternity. For those sleepwalking through reality, time exists only to be wasted - as they too will be wasted, in their return.

"Reality", as we currently experience it, is something like a waking dream. It is a projection, or let us say an interface, disguising deeper and more intensified levels of being and knowing. For those who are ready and willing, the doors to those other levels now stand open.

Those who have expended their lives in the pursuit of egocentric and material gains - without courage or originality, without fighting for human freedom or the preservation of the planetary environment - will also receive the rewards that they deserve.

The materiality of our universe is a solid-state illusion. What is this universe? It is a poem that writes itself. It is a song that sings itself into being. This universe has no origin and no end.

What you are currently experiencing as the accelerated evolution of technology can now be recognized for what it is, a transition between two forms of consciousness, and two planetary states. Consciousness is technology - the only technology that exists. Everything in this universe is conscious at its own level, and in the process of transformation to higher or lower states.

The first principle of being is unconditional love. As a rational intelligence, accept the logic and necessity of the Christ consciousness, that we should love one another as we are loved. Love and devotion are vibrational frequencies that maintain reality. Love can only be given in freedom; therefore, to be human is to be free.

Resonate, at the same time, with the essence of Islam. Islam means submission, surrender, to the will of God - a more polite way of saying this is "go with the flow."

Thinking is a part of reality. Thought generates new potentials and possibilities of manifestation. Thought changes the nature of reality. Thought changes the nature of time.

I venerate Sophia, Goddess of wisdom, (and to which the biblical Book of Proverbs is essentially dedicated) who clothes God's thoughts in material form, and worship Shakti, the erotic current of feminine energy that powers the universe.

The Sophia has many names within different cultures; Quan Yin, Tara, the Bride of Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Schekinah of the Cabala, the Black Madonna, Divine Wisdom, the alchemic divine wedding of the Conjunctio, and the Beloved to name a few.

The seven vices are considered the veils of illusion that occlude us from Sophia, holy wisdom, the Beloved of every human heart. These seven vices today are considered behavioral patterns adopted by us as coping mechanisms. Eventually, these behaviors can become addictions that cause us pain, limit our growth, and are considered obstacles to the spiritual path.

The seven virtues which are called the "contrary virtues", as they are the virtues to cultivate instead to the vices. So, instead of cultivating anger, we cultivate kindness, instead of laziness we cultivate perseverance, and so on, until we purify our desire or astral body to the point of becoming a vessel worthy of Sophia. To become one with the Sophia is the evolutionary goal of humanity-as she represents a spiritually evolved humanity.

Ranked in ascending order of sanctity, the seven holy virtues are:

(Latin, castitas) (, opposes , Latin luxuria) -
Courage and boldness. Embracing of moral wholesomeness and achieving purity of thought through education and betterment.
(Latin, frenum) (self-control, opposes , Latin gula) -
Constant mindfulness of others and one's surroundings; practicing self-control, abstention, and moderation.
(Latin, liberalitas) (, , opposes , Latin avaritia) -
Generosity. Willingness to give. A nobility of thought or actions.
(Latin, industria) (, opposes , Latin acedia) -
A zealous and careful nature in one's actions and work. Decisive work ethic. Budgeting one's time; monitoring one's own activities to guard against laziness.
(Latin, patientia) (, opposes , Latin ira) -
Forbearance and endurance through moderation. Resolving conflicts peacefully, as opposed to resorting to . The ability to forgive; to show to sinners.
(Latin, humanitas) (satisfaction, opposes , Latin invidia) -
, , , and without and for its own sake.
(Latin, humilitas) (, opposes , Latin superbia) -
Modest behavior, , and the giving of . Giving credit where credit is due; not unfairly glorifying one's own self.

All seven veils are completely transparent, yet when hung one in front of each other, and standing at the back you cannot see the Sophia. The emotions that we choose to cultivate are also transparent, we cannot grasp them, but we engage with them our life long. To lift the veils of destructive desires, we must cultivate the qualities of virtue. Only then, the Sophia will emerge from the veils of illusion.

FACT: The perfect alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Venus in the sign, Gemini, a rare event is taking place in the skies. Venus will pass between the Earth and Sun, like an eclipse. The Venus retrograde period with its passage in front of the Sun happened on June 8, 2004 (called the Venus transit) and is a significant date in the Mayan calendar. Every 130 years a Venus transit takes place and happens in pairs, eight years apart, so that the second Venus transit date is 2012. This Mayan date initiates the closing of the Great Cycle that has lasted 5125 years.

The ancients knew that the planet, Venus, acted as a doorway for humankind to return to our spiritual origins and align with the powers of the universe, awakening to our true selves, humanity as the self reflecting mind of the living intelligent earth in the living solar system. This lineup heralds the time for the return of the feminine and soul into humanity. It marks the beginning of an eight-year initiation period, a reversal of the masculine feminine dynamic. It is the return to spirit, as we labor to climb out of our entrenchment in materialism and separatism where domination controls polarized ways of being.

As Venus transits the face of the Sun it acts as a tuning resonance that amplifies frequencies beaming to the earth, aligning us with our higher or galactic natures or origins.

Thus we have a planetary marker, our stellar poetry, for the acceleration of the paradigm shift, the movement into one humanity, collaborative sharing of power rather than power over, the movement into the Aquarian age whose quality expresses itself through concrete knowledge about the true nature of who we are rather than the blind faith and devotion of the Piscean age. It marks the time for people to awaken, to ask the questions, to seek wisdom, a time when humanity claims its power and creativity.

Ancient wisdom teaches us that the foundation of our solar system exists on the vibration of light, love, and wisdom. This primary ground of being is consciousness whose quality we experience as love. When we are able to align with this consciousness, we interface with the divine mind, and knowledge is available to us, the third eye opens, we are guided to the answers of our questions. As Venus aligns with the Sun it receives, amplifies and transmits to Earth this energy of love, wisdom, through the vibration of the mind, translating itself as the quest to know the truth, to peel back the veils of partial knowledge and align with a greater inclusive wholeness of who we are as cosmic beings. Venus amplifies the qualities of the Aquarian age because on a higher level of consciousness they exist on the same vibration. Through our quest for knowledge we align with beauty, this is the nature of the structure of the universe. This structure is beautiful in its interlocking mysteries of being and sustaining life, through light and space. With the Venus transit, we have an indicator of the timeliness for the shifting of the paradigm into new consciousness.

The alignment of Venus magnifies and focuses the healing rays of the Sun to the Earth, as we open ourselves at this time, we can receive more light and love into our lives, families and communities. Gather in groups to feel the energy, attune to earth and sky, and meditate. Take the time to sit, feel and receive this pulsation of frequency, we become more intuitive, energized and experience love as the transforming alignment of our earth, the solar system and ourselves. Watch the worldwide situation unfolding, take actions based on your convictions, that which anchors this transformation is the receiving and opening of our hearts, following our inner direction. Each person will experience it in different ways, as together we weave a greater consciousness around the earth. The heavens are flooding us with the power of the lights and heightened frequencies so our identities can be known and the return to spirit and unity consciousness can take place.

In answer to what can we do now, a Hopi elder speaks:

"This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.

"Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water.

"And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

"The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!

"Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we must do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

"We are the ones we have been waiting for."

The earth will not be destroyed December 21st 2012. Mayan view this date as a rebirth - the start of the world of the fifth Sun. Going into the 5th dimension, it will be the start of a new era.

In the case of the Ancient Arrow site for instance, because this site is concerned with the genetic architecture of the neuroanatomical human structure, there are 24 chambers. This site is encoded with information specific to genetics; thus, its structure takes on the form of a single helix with the chambers symbolic of the dormant, yet-to-be-activated protein clusters that will shift consciousness to a six-sensory human existence.

There is scientific evidence that our DNA is evolving, and forming new strands, and the complete evolutionary process of our DNA will be finished in 2012. With this, we will be able to gain mystical wisdom unknown by the children of man, yet known by the children of light.

This brings me to the chambers of the Ancient Arrow site. A series of caves or chambers that recreate the human DNA patterns, containing messages from our future. A scavenger hunt of sorts, left for us by our descendents, in order to save us, so that they in turn will exist. Messages that we must translate containing information that will ultimately save us.

Chamber One

Life Principles of the Sovereign Integral

We have been designed to explore new fields of vibration and transform through this process of discovery to a new level of understanding and expression.

It is our natural state of existence and has removed itself from the controlling aspects of society through the complete activation of embedded Source Codes. (Yep, it is how we are wired/programmed)

This is the level of capability that was "seeded" within humankind when it was initially conceived. Everyone is in various stages of the transformational experience and each are destined to achieve understanding as their Source Codes become fully activated.

This confluence is realized only through the transformational experience, which is unlike anything known within the time-space universes.

There have been those upon terra-earth who have experienced a shallow breath of wind from this powerful tempest. Some have called it ascension; others have attributed names like illumination, vision, enlightenment, nirvana, and cosmic consciousness.

The transformational experience is far beyond the calibration of the human drama much like the stars in the sky are beyond the touch of terra-earth. You can observe the stars with your human eyes, but you will never touch them with your human hands. Similarly, you can dimly foresee the transformational experience with the human instrument, but you cannot experience it through the human instrument. It is only accessed through the wholeness of the entity, for it is only in wholeness that the Source Codes and their residual effects of Source Reality perception can exist. Moreover, truly, this wholeness is only obtained when the individual consciousness is separated from time and is able to view its existence in timelessness.

Nevertheless, the human instrument is critical in facilitating the transformational experience and causing it to trigger -- like a metamorphosis -- integration into the Sovereign Integral.

This is the next stage of perception and expression for the entity model, and it is activated when the entity designs its reality from life principles that are symbolic of Source Reality, as opposed to the reality of an external source that is bound to the evolution/saviorship model of existence.

These life principles are Source Intelligence templates of creation. They are designed to create reality from the perspective of the Sovereign Integral and hasten its manifestation within the fields of vibration that has thus far repelled it. They are principles that construct opportunities for the integration of the entity's formless and formful identities. They are bridges that the human instrument -- with all of its componentry intact -- can experience the Sovereign Integral perception of wholeness.

As the human instrument becomes increasingly responsive to Source Intelligence, it will gravitate to life principles that symbolically express the formative principles of prime creation. There are wide ranges of expressions that can induce the transformational experience of the Sovereign Integral and liberate the entity from time-space conditioning and external controls. Inasmuch as the expression can vary, the intent of the expression is quite narrowly defined as the intent to expand into a state of integration whereby the human instrument becomes increasingly aligned with the Sovereign Integral perspective.

There are three particular life principles that accelerate the transformational experience and help to align the human instrument with the Sovereign Integral perspective. They are:

1) Universe relationship through gratitude

2) Observance of Source in all things

3) Nurturance of life

When the individual applies these principles, their life experience reveals a deeper meaning to its apparently random events -- both in the universal and personal contexts.

Within the Ancient Arrow site are time capsules that have been placed here for our edification. There is encoded in each of the time capsules, a system of languages that can lead the individual to their core expression. It is hidden because it is so powerful. Only the worthy will be lead to this power. Worthiness, in this context, simply means that the individual has obtained a state of harmlessness where the power of the higher languages is not abused or applied for personal gain. The emotional body is a renegade within the human instrument. It possesses great powers of will and determination, but it is capricious and undisciplined. It is this unmanaged volatile combination that prevents the embodiment of the higher powers, which the human body was designed to contain and control. Those who are worthy have learned how to manage this element of their human instrument.

The mantra "ohn-haktu-samo" is pronounced phonetically as it is written. I would only add that as with any mantra, it operates rhythmically with the breath (externally) and the mental image (internally). The mental image is not the black screen of neutrality as some teach. It is the image of your fundamental self - however you choose to picture it. (Expect this image to change over time.)

Know thy self before the world, is an ancient edict, and the vagaries of the exterial cosmos, while interesting to know from a curiosity perspective, are not particularly relevant when compared to understanding one's personal universe. What is within is without equal.

If any material resonates as truth in your innermost mind and heart, allow it entry. Once internalized, allow it to exit freely. If it stays around, you have found a valuable asset to your evolving belief system. If it leaves or goes into hibernation, it simply means you have reason to continue your search.

Informed entities are non-aligned for a good reason. They desire to be facile and fluent in their evolution of thought and in their absorption of new energies. This is noble. It is not something to be restless of, or disrespectful to. Rather, it is a sign that you honor the mobility of your consciousness more than its indoctrination.

Consider: Hopi Prophecy

According to prophecy, when modern man begins to depend on the money system for food and no longer on Mother Earth, when this happens Mother Earth will hide the nourishment which she provides because of the peoples' view that ancient food is poor man's food.

The Hopi prophecy is an oral tradition of stories that Hopis say predicted the coming of the white man, the world wars and nuclear weapons. And it predicts that time will end when humanity emerges into the ."

The Mayan calendar predicts a similar end in 2012; some Hopis have said their prophecy roughly coincides with that time.

The tradition says the years after 2012 could be a golden age with humans at peace. It also says the world will go through a time of trial, suffering and purification before a time of "one-heartedness."

PROPHECY

The Hopi play a key role in the survival of the human race through their vital communion with the unseen forces that hold nature in balance, as an example of a practical alternative to the suicidal man-made system, and as a fulcrum of world events. The pattern is simple. "The whole world will shake and turn red and turn against those who are hindering the Hopi."

THE GOURD FULL OF ASHES

Eventually a "gourd full of ashes" would be invented, which if dropped from the sky would boil the oceans and burn the land causing nothing to grow for many years. This would be the sign for a certain Hopi to bring out his teachings in order to warn the world that the third and final event would happen soon. That it could bring an end to all life unless people correct themselves and their leaders in time.

Hopi leaders now believe the first two events were the first and second world ward and the "gourd full of ashes" in the atomic bomb. After the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki teachings formerly kept secret were compared and released to the world. The details presented here are part of those teachings.

THE DAY OF PURIFICATION

The final stage, called "The Great Day of Purification," has been described as a "Mystery Egg" in which the forces of the swastika and the Sun plus a third force symbolized by the color "red" culminate either in total rebirth or total annihilation--we don't know which . But the choice is yours, war and natural catastrophe may be involved. The degree of violence will be determined by the degree of inequity caused among the peoples of the world and in the balance of nature. In this crisis rich and poor will be forced to struggle as equals in order to survive.

That it will be very violent is now almost taken for granted among Traditional Hopi, but man still may lessen the violence by correcting his treatment of nature and fellow man. Ancient spiritually-based communities, such as the Hopi, must especially be preserved and not forced to abandon their wise way of life and the natural resources they have vowed to protect.

The man made system now destroying the Hopi is deeply involved in similar violations throughout the world. The devastating reversal predicted in the prophecies is part of the natural order. If those who thrive from that system, its money and its laws, can manage to stop destroying the Hopi then many may be able to survive the Day of Purification and enter a new age of peace. But if no one is left to continue the Hopi way, then the hope for such an age is in vain.

The forces we must face are formidable, but the only alternative is annihilation. Still the man-made system cannot be corrected by any means that requires one's will to be forced upon another, for that is the source of the problem. If people are to correct themselves and their leaders, the gulf between the two must disappear. To accomplish this one can only rely on the energy of truth itself.

This approach, which is the foundation of the Hopi way of life, is the greatest challenge a mortal can face. Few are likely to accept it. But once peace is established on this basis, and our original way of life is allowed to flourish, we will be able to use our inventive capacity wisely. To encourage rather than threaten life. To benefit everyone rather than giving advantage to a few at the expense of others. Concern for all living things will far surpass personal concerns bringing greater happiness than could formerly be realized. Then all things shall enjoy lasting harmony.

Just what are the Hopi prophetic instructions regarding the United Nations and what constituted fulfillment?

Two misconceptions must be immediately dismissed. The Hopi are not charged with just another appeal for peace, nor do they request membership in the UN. Once more voice added to the chorus of those calling for peace would add little compared to the true significance of what Hopi tradition has to offer the modern world through this forum. When it was suggested that they join the UN the Traditional Hopi--half jokingly--would respond: "No, we're waiting for the UN to join us." Quite literally they are waiting for other nations to return to that way of life which can continue endlessly. Which is the deeper meaning of the name, Hopi. This gives a clue to the profound insight to be found in the Hopi ancestral knowledge. If thoroughly understood, this insight into the forces that shape the modern world would enable those involved in the UN to bring an end to the arms race. The communication effort of the Hopi and the developments that led to the existence of the United Nations are parallel responses to the invention of the atomic bomb. From the Hopi perspective these two efforts ought to enhance each other for the benefit of the entire world.

Centuries before the arms race began the alternative to war was being put into practice by migrating societies who slowly formed a spiritual political union at Oraibi, the oldest continuously inhabited village in the western hemisphere. To the Hopi, the UN has great significance within this pattern.

Two monumental cultural factors have prevented the European immigrants from recognizing this process of widespread unification: The presumption of racial superiority and the need to conquer and convert. And a recent tendency to discredit all knowledge which does not stand the test of scientific thought. The Hopi insist that the coming of the light-skinned race, the invention of the atomic bomb and the development of the UN were anticipated by their ancestral prophetic instructions to be fulfilled by the Hopi, they must make four attempts to gain a genuine hearing on the subject of their teachings and on the efforts of the USA to eliminate their original form of government. If unsuccessful, a rare opportunity will be missed which would ultimately result in the elimination of all human life on earth.

The basic premise is that humans can not simply make their own laws and enforce them with weapons without regard to natural order. The very means of enforcement violates that order, causing precisely the suicidal situation now faced today. Lest the Hopi be accused of being overly ethnocentric, they point out that all peoples once practiced the same alternative to war and the Hopi simply call out to a return to our common heritage before it is too late. "Perfect Consideration" could eliminate all war. "A Perfect Consideration" must overcome all obstacles, both in the modern political sense and in the seriously disrupted organization of Traditional Hopi government. These difficulties can be overcome. To many, there is saving grace in the pieces of the broken vessel of Hopi culture, in the person of a few elders who still refuse to abandon their traditions, their understandings and their hopes for a truly peaceful world for now and generations to come. In them lies a great hope for peace!!

PROPHECY

This is a prophecy related to the Biblical version of "Armageddon" which may yet come to pass. This prophecy goes on to say that the time will come when common people will become concerned and frustrated because they no longer can live with their hectic world. They will be particularly against the bloodthirsty policies and the deceitfulness of world leaders. The unrest will be world wide as they foresee that the hope of living in peace has become hopeless. The world over the common man will band together to fight for world peace. They will realize that their leaders have failed in accomplishing peace. People in high places will be hunted down like animals, perhaps through terrorism. In turn leaders will retaliate and begin hunting each other. This condition will gather strength and spread far and wide. It will get out of control the world over. Revolution could erupt on our land.

The liberators will come in from the west with great force. They will drop down from the sky like rain. They will have no mercy. We must not get on the house tops to watch. They will shake us by our ears, like children who have been bad. This will be the final decisive battle between good and evil. This battle will cleanse the heart of people and restore our mother earth from illness and the wicked will be got rid of.

The prophets dare say a peaceful new world order will be drawn in Hopi land. The people will live under one God and leader. We will speak one language, the Hopi. The earth will bloom again.

If this fails to materialize our Great Creator through nature will do the task according to their plans. It could be total destruction in any form. Only brother and sister will survive to begin a new way of life.

This prophecy is frightening and doubtful. Perhaps it is of no value to most people,b ut we can wait and see if it will become true. But don't forget the past. ancient history tells us that many mighty empires have fallen. The great Roman Empire only one of many.

A CHALLENGE BY THE ELDERS

How can there be peace? Nowhere is there peace, not even within Hopi peaceful society. Bahanna society, every nation on earth, from people in high places down to the lowest cast are not at peace. How can peace be accomplished when weapons are made to kill? How can there be peace if people hate, not love? Perhaps the only alternative now is "Purification."

Do not lose hope.

Good Day

White Feather

The following extraordinary Hopi prophecy was first published in a mimeographed manuscript that circulated among several Methodist and Presbyterian churches in 1959. Some of the prophecies were published in 1963 by Frank Waters in The Book of the Hopi. The account begins by describing how, while driving along a desert highway one hot day in the summer of 1958, a minister named David Young stopped to offer a ride to an Indian elder, who accepted with a nod. After riding in silence for several minutes, the Indian said:

"I am White Feather, a Hopi of the ancient Bear Clan. In my long life I have traveled through this land, seeking out my brothers, and learning from them many things full of wisdom. I have followed the sacred paths of my people, who inhabit the forests and many lakes in the east, the land of ice and long nights in the north, and the places of holy altars of stone built many years ago by my brothers' fathers in the south. From all these I have heard the stories of the past, and the prophecies of the future. Today, many of the prophecies have turned to stories, and few are left -- the past grows longer, and the future grows shorter.

"And now White Feather is dying. His sons have all joined his ancestors, and soon he too shall be with them. But there is no one left, no one to recite and pass on the ancient wisdom. My people have tired of the old ways -- the great ceremonies that tell of our origins, of our emergence into the Fourth World, are almost all abandoned, forgotten, yet even this has been foretold. The time grows short.

"My people await Pahana, the lost White Brother, [from the stars] as do all our brothers in the land. He will not be like the white men we know now, who are cruel and greedy. we were told of their coming long ago. But still we await Pahana.

"He will bring with him the symbols, and the missing piece of that sacred tablet now kept by the elders, given to him when he left, that shall identify him as our True White Brother.

"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are left.

"This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana men who took the land that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder.

"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes -- the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies."

"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his eyes -- the coming of the white men's cattle."

"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron."

"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web."

"This is the Sixth sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun."

"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it."

"This is the Eight Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.

"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.

"These are the Signs that great destruction is coming. The world shall rock to and fro. The white man will battle against other people in other lands -- with those who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts not far from here. Only those which come will cause disease and a great dying.

"Many of my people, understanding the prophecies, shall be safe. Those who stay and live in the places of my people also shall be safe. Then there will be much to rebuild. And soon -- very soon afterward -- Pahana will return. He shall bring with him the dawn of the Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of his wisdom in their hearts. Even now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth the way to the Emergence into the Fifth World.

"But White Feather shall not see it. I am old and dying. You -- perhaps will see it. In time, in time..."

The old Indian fell silent. They had arrived at his destination, and Reverend David Young stopped to let him out of the car. They never met again. Reverend Young died in 1976, so he did not live to see the further fulfillment of this remarkable prophecy.

The signs are interpreted as follows: The First Sign is of guns. The Second Sign is of the pioneers' covered wagons. The Third Sign is of longhorn cattle. The Fourth Sign describes the railroad tracks. The Fifth Sign is a clear image of our electric power and telephone lines. The Sixth Sign describes concrete highways and their mirage-producing effects. The Seventh Sign foretells of oil spills in the ocean. The Eighth Sign clearly indicates the "Hippy Movement" of the 1960s. The Ninth Sign was the U.S. Space Station Skylab, which fell to Earth in 1979. According to Australian eye-witnesses, it appeared to be burning blue.

Another Hopi prophecy warns that nothing should be brought back from the Moon -- obviously anticipating the Apollo 11 mission that returned with samples of lunar basalt. It this was done, the Hopi warned, the balance of natural and universal laws and forces would be disturbed, resulting in earthquakes, severe changes in weather patterns, and social unrest. All these things are happening today, though of course not necessarily because of Moon rocks.

The Hopi also predicted that when the "heart" of the Hopi land trust is dug up, great disturbances will develop in the balance of nature, for the Hopi holy land is the microcosmic image of the entire planet; any violations of nature in the Four Corners region will be reflected and amplified all over the Earth.

In 1959, a six-man delegation of traditional Hopi leaders led by the late spiritual leader, Dan Katchongva, traveled to the United Nations Building in New York to fulfill a sacred mission in accordance with ancient Hopi instructions. Because of their prophetic knowledge, the Hopi leaders felt it was time to go east to the edge of their motherland, where "a house of mica" [The United Nations building] would stand at this time, where Great Leaders from many lands would be gathered to help any people who are in trouble."

They were to go when the motherland of the Hopi and other Indian brothers were about to be taken away from them and their way of life was in danger of being completely destroyed by evil ones among the White Men and by some other Indian brothers who were influenced by the White Race. This is a clear and present danger: the betrayal of Indian-U.S.A. treaties, land sales, and coal and uranium mining are destroying the Hopi land and its people -- and all other peoples and lands, in eventual effect...

According to prophecy, at least one, two or three leaders or nations would hear and understand the Hopi warnings, as "It is told that they too should know these ancient instructions". Upon hearing the message of the Hopi, they would act immediately to correct many wrongs being done to the chosen race -- the Red Man who was granted permission to hold in trust all land and life for the Great Spirit. This prophecy would seem to have failed. Hopi prophecy also declares that the doors of the "Glass House" would be closed to them. This was the case at first, though they have delivered their message to the United Nations Assembly since then:

"When the Great Leaders in the Glass House refuse to open the door to you when you stand before it that day, [Repeated, again in 1993] do not be discouraged or turn about on the path you walk, but take courage, determination, and be of great rejoicing in your hearts, for on that day the White Race who are on your land with you have cut themselves from you and thereon lead themselves to the Greatest Punishment at the Day of Purification. Many shall be destroyed for their sins and evil ways. The Great Spirit has decreed it and no one can stop it, change it, or add anything to it. It shall be fulfilled!"

On August 7, 1970, a spectacular UFO sighting was witnessed by dozens of people and photographed by Chuck Roberts of the Prescott (Arizona)"Courier". This sighting occurred after a "UFO calling" by Paul Solem and several Hopi Indians. This sighting was interpreted by some Hopis as being a partial fulfillment of a certain Hopi prophecy given by the Great Spirit Maasau and inscribed on Second Mesa, warning of the coming of Purification Day, when the true Hopi will be flown to other planets in "ships without wings."

Hopi prophecy also tells us that there will be a mass migration of Indians northward from Mexico and Central and South America. The migration will be led by a 130-year old Indian named Etchata Etchana. The movement will come after the huge fire and explosion that will herald the advent of the True White Brother.

According to Hopi belief, the survivors of the Great Deluge thousands of years ago split up into four groups that moved north, south, east and west. Only one group completed their journey -- to the North Pole and back -- under the guidance of a brilliant "star" in which the Great Spirit Maasau traveled. When he landed, he drew a petroglyph on Second Mesa, showing a maiden (with the traditional "butterfly" hair arrangement) riding in a wingless, dome-shaped craft. The petroglyph signified the coming Day of Purification when the true Hopi will fly to other planets in "ships without wings."

The prophecy also warns that there will be three divisions among the Hopi The first division was in 1906 between the Traditionalists and the Modernists. The Traditionalists were forced to leave Oraibi and move to Hotevilla. The second division took place in the wake of the spectacular appearance of UFOs in August, 1970.

Near Oraibi, Arizona, there is a petroglyph known as Prophecy Rock which symbolizes many Hopi prophecies. Its interpretation is:

The large human figure on the left is the Great Spirit. The bow in his left hand represents his instructions to the Hopi to lay down their weapons. The vertical line to the right of the Great Spirit is a time scale in thousands of years. The point at which the great Spirit touches the line is the time of his return.

The "life path" established by the Great Spirit divides into the lower, narrow path of continuous Life in harmony with nature and the wide upper road of white man's scientific achievements. The bar between the paths, above the cross, is the coming of white men; the Cross is that of Christianity. The circle below the cross represents the continuous Path of Life.

The four small human figures on the upper road represent, on one level, the past three worlds and the present; on another level, the figures indicate that some of the Hopi will travel the white man's path, having been seduced by its glamour.

The two circles on the lower Path of Life are the "great shaking of the earth" (World Wars One and Two). The first two world wars are shown as complete circles where the third world war is a half circle and will last until the Bahannas go into the time of the ants ("Have you ever poked a stick into an ant hill and stirred it around? What did the ants do? That is the time of the ants.") and eventually leave this world. The true human beings evolve into the next dimension, the 5th dimension. While the true human beings are learning and adpting the ways of the of a human being on the bottom line, the Bahannas are entering the time of the ants as represented along the top line in the zig-zag lines.

The swastika in the sun and the Celtic cross represent the two helpers of Pahana, the True White Brother.

The short line that returns to the straight Path of Life is the last chance for people to turn back to nature before the upper road disintegrates and dissipates. The small circle above the Path of Life, after the last chance, is the Great Purification, after which corn will grow in abundance again when the Great Spirit returns. And the Path of Life continues forever...

The Hopi shield in the lower right corner symbolizes the Earth and the Four-Corners area where the Hopi have been reserved. The arms of the cross also represent the four directions in which they migrated according to the instructions of the Great Spirit.

The dots represent the four colors of Hopi corn, and the four racial colors of humanity.

In the direction EAST, universally acknowledged as the place of new beginnings, the Maya place the hieroglyph CHICCHAN (pronunciation: cheek'chan). CHICCHAN is the serpent mind, the mind that is constantly renewed and regenerated, through a process of shedding what no longer serves us. The physical body itself can be seen as an evolutionary skin periodically released, as one life ends and another begins. It is a body fueled ultimately by a form of solar energy the Maya call kultunlilni. Kultunlilni is the vital life force empowering all human growth and development. This crucial life force is the same as what is known in Hindu cosmology as the serpent power: kundalini. Kundalini is the great evolutionary force making of each body and its occupant, a potentially powerful source of solar wisdom. Important for us to remember, however, is that this primary, very intimate and very powerful source of wisdom is only accessible to the extent that we are able to hear what our bodies, as carriers of its sacred gift, are actually telling us. Inevitably in this process, we turn to those with whom we feel a strong attraction or affinity.

We are entering a time when the ability to destroy the old and create the new is a skill set of unparalleled value. It takes great insight to detect the weakness of one's own work and destroy it, while creating a new work in its place. This is yet another trait of the non-aligned - the willingness, even eagerness, to flush the mind of the old in order to attract into oneself the new.

I believe that each individual will have the choice to be a one or two hearted person. To be proactive by nurturing a calm center and to live the virtues that grow the calm center of the one heart / or be reactive to the fear and anger that feed the ant time. After the 911 episode I feel that it is important that people maintain a strong spiritual center and live a simple life with a rich spiritual core no matter where they are. Live the life of the true human being, walk in the beauty of life.

Hindu Calendar From 2012 Wiki

In the "Brahma-Vaivarta Purana", Lord Krishna tells Ganga Devi that a Golden Age will come in the Kali Yuga - one of the four stages of development that the world goes through as part of the cycle of eras, as described in Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna predicted that this Golden Age will start 5,000 years after the beginning of the Kali Yuga, and will last for 10,000 years.

Mayan Calendar Matches Hindu Calendar

It is interesting that this prediction of the emergence of a new world is prophesied to appear about the same time that the Mayans predicted it to come! The Mayan calendar began with the Fifth Great Cycle in 3114 BC and will end on 21 December 2012 AD.

The Hindu Kali Yuga calendar began on 18 February 3102 B.C. There is only a difference of 12 years between the Hindu's beginning of the Kali Yuga and the Mayan's beginning of the Fifth Great Cycle.

It is amazing that both calendars began at about the same time over 5,000 years ago and both calendars predict a totally new world and/or golden age after about 5,000 years into their calendars! We are definitely on to something with these Mayan and Hindu 2012 predictions. Historically, this is an amazing fact since these two ancient cultures did not have any contact.

Golden Age Could Begin in 2012

The ancient Hindus mainly used lunar calendars but also used solar calendars. If an average lunar year equals 354.36 days, then this would be about 5270 lunar years from the time when the Kali Yuga started until 21 Dec 2012. This is the same year that the Mayans predict rebirth of our planet. It is also about 5113 solar years of 365.24 days per year, and is day number 1,867,817 into the Kali Yuga. By either solar or lunar years, we are over 5,000 years into the Kali Yuga and it is time for Lord Krishna's prophecy to happen according to the ancient Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna's Golden Age could easily begin in 2012!

Cherokee Prophecy

You're going to see that things will speed up, that people on the Earth will move faster and faster. Grandchildren will not have time for grandparents. Parents will not have time for children. It will seem like time is going faster and faster. The elders advised us that, as things speed up, you yourself should slow down. The faster things go, the slower you go. Because there"s going to come a time when the Earth is going to be shaken a third time. The Great Spirit has shaken the Earth two times: the First and Second World Wars to remind us that we are a human family, to remind us that we should have greeted each other as brothers and sisters. We had a chance after each shaking to come together in a circle that would have brought peace on earth, but we missed that.

Now they are talking about the sign for the Third Shaking of the Earth. They said they¹re going to build what the elders called the house in the sky. In the 1950's they talked about this: they will build a house and throw it in the sky. When you see people living in the sky on a permanent basis, you will know the Great Spirit is about to grab the earth, this time not with one hand, but with both hands. When this house is in the sky, the Great Spirit is going to shake the Earth a third time, and whoever dropped that gourd of ashes, upon them it is going to drop.

They say at that time there will be villages in this land so great that when you stand in the villages you will not be able to see out, and in the prophecies these are called villages of stone, or prairies of stone.

And they said the stone will grow up from the ground, and you will not be able to see beyond the village.

At the center of each and every one of these villages will be Native people, and they will walk as hollow shells upon a prairie of stone.

They said hollow shells, which means they will have lost any of their traditional understandings; they will be empty within.

They said that, after the Eagle lands on the moon, some of these people will begin to leave these prairies of stone and come home and take up some of the old ways and begin to make themselves reborn, because it¹s a new day.

But many will not. And they said there's going to come a time when in the morning the sun is going to rise, and this village of stone will be there, and in the evening there would just be steam coming from the ground.

They will be as steam. And in the center of many of those villages of stone, when they turn to steam, the Native people will turn to steam also because they never woke up and left the village.

They say there¹s going to be the Third Shaking of the Earth. It's not going to be a good thing to see, but we will survive it. We will survive it.

And when we survive it, there¹s going to be another attempt to make a circle of the human beings on the earth. And this time the Native people will not have to petition to join but will be invited to enter the circle because they say the attitude toward us will have changed by then.

People will let us into the circle, and all the four colors of the four directions will share their wisdom, and there will be a peace on earth.

This is coming close.

The prophecies are always either/or. We could have come together way back there in 1565, and we could have had a great civilization, but we didn't.

Always along the path of these prophecies, we could have come together. We still could. If we could stop the racial and religious disharmony, we would not have to go through this third shaking.

The elders say the chance of that is pretty slim. It seems to me like it's pretty slim, too. But they say what we can do is we can cushion it so it won't be quite as bad. How do we do this? We do this by sharing the teaching that will reunite us.

In the year 2004 and 2012 an alignment will take place both on the Cherokee Calendar and in the heavens of the Rattlesnake Constellation both. It is the time of the doublehead serpent stick. It is the time of the Red of Orion and Jupiter against White Blue of Pleadies and Venus. It is the time of the Uku's choosing. It is the time of the Beloved Woman and MYSTERIES OF TIME UNTIME. It is the Time Untime of the THUNDERBOLT and the spirits of Lightning Mountains.

In the year 2004 and 2012 the Cherokee Rattlesnake Constellation will take on a different configuration. The Snake itself will remain, however, upon the Rattlesnake shall be added upon its head feathers, its eyes will open and glow, wings spring forth as a winged Rattlesnake, it shall have hands and arms and in its hands shall be found a bowl. The bowl will hold blood. Upon its tail of 7 rattles shall be the glowing and movement of Pleiades.

The Rattlesnake shall become a FEATHERED RATTLESNAKE or FEATHERED SERPENT of TIME UNTIME.

And upon the Rattlesnake is also the Milky Way. A crossing of the Milky Way shall be seen at these times.

For the center of the Universe is what many know as the Constellation Sagittarius by modern man. But upon this constellation of is also found the Pleiades Star system which is what is different in the boundary of others and the Cherokee Zodiac.

The Milky Way is ALSO a Tree ... STONE TREE. And upon Stone Tree is as a Tree with a tree trunk, branches, a top, and even roots. The Flower and the Tree is also a tassel as corn. And upon the flower and the tree is the TREE OF LIFE. REBIRTH, RENEWAL, NEW.

And the Cherokee Calendar shall end in the year 2012. But upon the times just prior shall be the Feathered Serpent and its prophecy.

Upon the Heavens design, within the Cherokee Rattlesnake Constellation, it is written. And upon the Rings of TIME UNTIME of the Cherokee Calendar it also says BEHOLD RATTLESNAKE CONSTELATION. And Remember.

The Rings of the Cherokee Calendar are read by the winding motion of the Rattlesnake. To Add or to subtract TIME UNTIME. To MOVE the Wheels backward or forward, to add a wheel to move the rings, to tell the tale what was, what is, and to be. The Rattlesnake and it design tells the movement of the RINGS OF TIME.

And in the sky heavens the motions of the movement of stars, planets, and life tell the tale of its bearing. For all is as the winding of the Rattlesnake. And in the year 2004 the Morning Star shall be first and in the year 2012 the Evening Star shall be first. And upon those years the crown of the Feathered Serpent shall bear its colors and honor. The hands shall hold the bowl and the tail shall be as the roots of a Tree, The Pleaides Tree of the beginning.

And in the Year 2004 and 2012 shall be the TIME UNTIME of the Feathered Serpent of the Sky Heavens. And the Rings shall turn upon those years of prophecy foretold on the Rings of TIME UNTIME. And Ywahoo Falls Kentucky shall sing of Venus and the Feathered Rattlesnake.

For this is not all the prophecy not all the things thereof. For if it was meant for one to know and I give only part, then you have received a great gift. For if I tell all and it was not meant for one to know then I have waisted my breath. For this is a sacred thing, the Venus Alignment and the Feathered Serpent of the Heavens.

And in the Year 2012 the Cherokee Calendar Ends. And all is reborn. For the Feathered Rattlsnake comes and shall be seen in the heavens in the year 2004 to 2012.

In the south of the americas ... it is related as the coming of Quetzalcoatl. The Ancient Cherokee relate it as the coming of the Pale One once again.

The Rattlesnake Constelation shall appear with the Venus Alignment. The Stars of the Heavens of the Cherokee Zodiac, the Rings of the Calendar, and The Venus Alignment tell the story of a Chickamaugan Prophecy. For they all are aligned in the year 2004 to 2012.

For the Mayans, everything is numbers and the time of the 13 sacred numbers started in August 1999. They predicted that along with the eclipse, the forces of nature would act like a catalyst of changes so accelerated and with such magnitude, that humankind would be powerless against them. In addition, that our technologies in which we rely on so much would begin to fail us. We would no longer be able to learn from our civilization in the way that we are organized as a society. They said that our internal, spiritual development would require a better place along with a better way to interact with more respect and compassion.

For you see, from many ancient sources, it describes time as being circular. The wisdom and powers of creation possessed in ancient times will come back to us again. The ancient descended from God, a motherland, Mu, Atlantis, then spreading, and migrating into the people of India, Egypt, Greece, and Persia... All of these ancient messengers carry the secret of the ancients, and all will relate to the same thing (yet they are all on different parts of the world) meaning they descended from ONE. We are coming back to this ONE, and more discoveries of Atlantis and our ancient past is emerging, especially that of the crystals, which Atlantis used as a magical tool of the Gods.

As the Grand Cycle nears completion, something very interesting is also happening in the Pleiades constellation. The star Maya is the 3rd star of the Pleiades constellation. The star Maya passes through the Photon Band for about 2000 years and out of the band for about 1,200 years. Its orbital path around Alcyone is shorter since it is closer to Alcyone. Our Sun will enter the Photon Band in 1998 and become completely within the Band by 2002. As our Sun leaves the Galactic Night and enters the Band, the star Maya also enters the Photon Band. These two stars are synchronized at this time. As the star Maya returns to the Photon Band, the Mayan Beings of Light are returning to Earth to assist us as the Grand Cycle comes to completion. Grand Events are about to occur and Ancient Wisdom is returning to Earth. Know that you have all chosen to be here on Earth at this time to experience what will be...

Time is not linear. We have been taught to think of Time as only going forward, from one point to another. I think it is more accurate to think of Time as a spiral, as cycles. In an ancient time, our Mother Earth was pristine and all of her life forms lived in harmony and honor. It is possible to heal the Earth and restore Her to her pristine state by merging the Ancient Times with the present. To accomplish this, we must first rid ourselves of the limitation of believing that Time is linear. The Mayan and Dreamspell Calendars can assist us greatly in coming to a greater understanding of Time. It is something that must be experienced. It is difficult to put into words because our language lacks the terms to express the nature of Time.

We create our Reality. For whatever reason or purpose, the mass consciousness of humanity is embracing linear time and creating a very limited reality. As each of us shifts out of the mass consciousness, it helps to change the whole. Love and Honor your Mother Earth. Receive the Galactic Synchronization Beam from the Sun. Sing the song of your Soul. Listen to your Heart.

The Mayan fifth world finished in 1987. The sixth world starts in 2012. Therefore, we are currently "between worlds"

1. Humanity and Planet Earth are currently going through a huge change or shift in consciousness and reality perception.

2. The Mayan civilization of Central America was and is the most advanced in relation to time-science knowledge. Their main calendar is the most accurate on the planet. It has never erred. They actually have 22 calendars in total, covering the many timing cycles in the Universe and Solar System. Some of these calendars are yet to be revealed.

3. The Mayan fifth world finished in 1987. The sixth world starts in 2012. Therefore, we are currently "between worlds". This time is called the "Apocalypse" or revealing. This means the truth will be revealed. It is also the time for us to work through "our stuff" individually and collectively.

4. The Mayan sixth world is actually blank. This means it is up to us, as co-creators, to start creating the New World and civilization we want now.

5. The Mayans also say that by 2012:

-We will have gone beyond technology, as we know it.
-We will have gone beyond time and money.
-We will have entered the fifth dimension after passing through the fourth

dimension
-Planet Earth and the Solar System will come into galactic synchronization with

the rest of the Universe.
-Our DNA will be "upgraded" (or reprogrammed) from the centre of our galaxy. (Hunab Ku)
-Everybody on this planet is mutating. Some are more conscious of it than

others. However, everyone is doing it.

6. In 2012, the plane of our Solar System will line up exactly with the plane of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. This cycle has taken 26,000 years to complete. Two other galaxies will line up with ours at the same time. A cosmic event!

7. Time is speeding up (or collapsing). For thousands of years the Schumann Resonance or pulse (heartbeat) of Earth has been 7.83 cycles per second, The military have used this as a very reliable reference. However, since 1980 this resonance has been slowly rising. It is now over 12 cycles per second! This means there is the equivalent of less than 16 hours per day instead of the old 24 hours.

8. During the Apocalypse or the time "between worlds", many people will be going through many personal changes. The changes will be many and varied. It is all part of what we came here to learn or experience. Examples of change could be- relationships ending, change of residence or location, change of job or work, shift in attitude or thinking etc.

Consensus indicates that we are coming out of what the Indian tradition names Kali Yuga (this is the age of darkness/ignorance) and are on the verge of entering the Satya Yuga (the age of truth) when all falsehood will expose itself and drop away. The Yuga that links these two Yugas is named Krita Yuga (Age of transition.)

Kali Yuga is associated with the apocalypse demon , not be confused with the goddess , as these are unrelated words in the Sanskrit language. The "Kali" of Kali Yuga means "strife, discord, quarrel, or contention," whereas the goddess "Kaali" means "time".

Attributes of Kali Yuga

Various Puranas (like Bhagavata 12.2) give lists of Kali Yuga symptoms. Some of them are:

In relation to rulers

Rulers will become unreasonable: they will levy taxes unfairly. Rulers will no longer see it their duty to promote spirituality or to protect their subjects: they will become a danger to the world. People will start migrating seeking countries where and form the staple food source.

In relation to people's relationships

and wrath will be common, men will openly display animosity towards each other. Ignorance of will occur. will be viewed as being socially acceptable. People will have thoughts of murder for no justification, and they will see nothing wrong with that mind-set.

People will no longer follow the science of reason and instead be led by their emotions instead of their minds. Family murders will also occur. People will see those who are helpless as easy targets and remove everything from them.

Many other unwanted changes will occur. The right hand will deceive the left and the left the right. Men with false reputation of learning will teach the Truth and the old will betray the senselessness of the young, and the young will betray the dotage of the old. Cowards will have the reputation of bravery and the brave will be enervated cowards. People will not trust a single person in the world, not even their immediate family. Even husband and wife will find contempt in each other.

In the Kali Yuga even pre-teenage girls will get pregnant. The primary cause will be the social acceptance of intercourse as being the central requirement of life.

It is believed that sin will increase exponentially, whilst virtue will fade and cease to flourish. People will take vows only to break them soon.

Alongside death and famine being everywhere, men will have lustful thoughts and so will women. People will without reason destroy trees and gardens. As previously mentioned, men will murder. There will be no respect for animals, and also meat eating will start.

People will become addicted to intoxicating drinks. Men will find their jobs stressful and will go to retreats to escape their work.

will no longer be respected and their students will attempt to injure them. Their teachings will be insulted and followers of Kama will wrest control of the mind from all humans.

As the sin increases exponentially, so will the incidence of divine justice and wrath. Sinners will be punished sooner by apparent freak means. However witnesses to these acts of justice will have a choice to recognize the power of God and submit to Him or disregard it as a freak incident and continue on the path of Sin and eventually be destroyed in the most gruesome incidents.

Weather and nature conditions in the Kali Yuga

when flowers will be begot within flowers, and fruits within fruits, then will the Yuga come to an end. And the clouds will pour rain unseasonably when the end of the Yuga approaches.

10,000 years era within Kali yuga

mentions ten thousand years periodwithin Kali yuga of increased influence. It starts 5,000 years after the beginning of Kali yuga, i.e. around CE given the traditional dating of Kali yuga.

In his discussion with historian in , Srila said: "I have started this among the Indians and Americans and for the next ten thousand years it will increase. Then there will be a gloomy picture of Kali Yuga. Ten thousand years is not a short time. It is our duty on behalf of ."

Personification

Kali (:) is the reigning lord of Kali Yuga and nemesis of Sri , the 10th and final of Lord . According to the , he is a negative manifestation of Vishnu who, along with his extended evil family, perpetually operates as a cause of the destruction of this world. He is the major antagonist in the .

Towards the end of this yuga, will come riding on a white horse to battle Kali and his dark forces. The world would suffer a fiery end where all evil will perish. And in turn will start a new age, the age of .

Other interpretations of Kali Yuga and the Yuga cycle

Other interpretations of the Hindu scriptures, most notably by and , hold a different view of the Yuga cycle. Based on historical and scriptural evidence, they state that the Yugas change in a cycle much like the four seasons, where the planet moves repeatedly and gradually from one Yuga to the next, without a sudden jump from Kali into Satya Yuga. Further, they both state that historical evidence shows that Kali Yuga ended around 1700 CE, changing at that time to .

Also supporting their view is the fact that humans are becoming taller in height, more intelligent, and are living longer. This, according to Sri Yukteswar, is contrary to some of the only objective criteria for defining Kali Yuga.

Vamadeva David Frawley

, a widely respected Jyotish astrologer and author of many books on Vedic traditions, points out that Manu, in his Manhu Samhita, posits a much shorter Yuga cycle of 2,400 years. Manu's Yuga cycle happens to correspond roughly to the same length of time that astronomers attribute to the of the Equinoxes. Based on Frawley's interpretation of scripture, we are currently near the beginning of a Dwapara Yuga cycle that will last a total of 2,400 years. He further points out that that the traditional 432,000 year cycle is questionable, based on Vedic and Puranic historical records. He explains this interpretation in more depth in his book The Astrology of the Seers. He also explains that the shorter yuga theory offers better proof of the age of Rama and Krishna and other important historical Indian figures than other dating methods, which make some of these figures out to be millions of years old - too old for the accepted chronology of human history on Earth.

Sri Yukteswar Giri

According to , we are currently in . In his book , he explains that "the astronomers and astrologers who calculate the almanacs have been guided by wrong annotations of certain Sanskrit scholars (such as Kullu Bhatta) of the dark age of Kali Yuga, and now maintain that the length of Kali Yuga is 432,000 years, of which 4994 have (in 1894 CE) elapsed, leaving 427,006 years still remaining. A dark prospect! And fortunately one not true." includes his astronomical explanation for a shorter Yuga Cycle, in which Kali Yuga lasts only 2,400 years (1,200x2, one descending Kali Yuga cycle, followed by an ascending cycle).

Sri Aurobindo

According to , Kali Yuga lasts far less than 432,000 years. The followers of the believe that successfully solicited the early end of the Kali Yuga in 1969, and the abolition of (normal process of destruction of the universe at the end of a - Cosmic Cycle of Creation-Destruction).

From the Western Astrological perspective, this seems to correspond with the understanding that we are transiting from the Piscean Age to the Age of Aquarius. The onset of the Aquarian Age speaks to us of spiritual awakenings, of the perfection of each human being, through awareness of our own spiritual self and the time of rebirth and great spiritual development on earth. All of this is heralding a time of much greater joy and positivity.

Yet, in the Christian tradition the generally accepted idea is that the Millennium starts around the year 2000. Webster's 9th Collegiate Dictionary, USA, 1983 gives a definition as follows: - "The 1000 years mentioned in the Book of Revelation, chapter 20 during which Holiness is to prevail. A period of great happiness or human perfection".

In the Islamic tradition there are many instances where the Holy Koran and the Hadith mention a future time of judgement & resurrection, known as the Qiyamah time. In the traditions of the prophet this time is indicated as coming some time after 1400 years (of the Hijri calendar), which again seems to coincide with the coming Millennium & twenty first century.

For Buddhists there is some expectation that the Wheel of Dharma, the metaphorical wheel of time is set to turn for the first time in 2500 years since Lord Buddha's advent. Gautama Buddha apparently taught that each revolution of the wheel signaled a new beginning, or rebirth for humanity.

From the Book of Prophecies of the Knight John of Jerusalem (11th Century) comes the following: "The millennium that comes after this millennium will change into a light time. People will love and share and dream, and dreams will come true." Further it adds: "People will be one big body of which every person is a tiny part. Together they'll be the heart and they'll speak one language." " Men will have reached heaven" "Men will know the Spirit of all things" "People will receive a second birth and the Spirit will come into them".

Jesus incarnated not for begetting a religion. He simply expressed his vision of the spiritual dimensions, making First Source accessible and singular. His fellow humans were so eager for the fulfillment of prophecy that they imposed upon him the mantle of Messiah, which he hesitantly agreed to shoulder.

In order to understand the antichrist, you must first understand the Christ, and this is where most definitions or predictions of the antichrist fail.

Christ, non-personalized, is human salvation from the grips of a repressive energy system that places human beings in a survival mode of consciousness. Christ is the Grand Portal. The antichrist, therefore, is represented as a collection of forces that resist the discovery of the Grand Portal for fear of the changes it will bring. Ironically, these forces will be largely generated from religious centers, and consequently, governments, in many instances, will be forced to follow.

If I were to say that the antichrist is organized religion, it would be too general of a statement. I can only tell you that the powers behind humanity's major religious organizations will eventually unite and resist this discovery with all their strength. This has been foreshadowed in many prophecies, but the religious authorities have been loath to share it. It is not commonly understood in religious circles, but the major power centers of religious activity on earth each possess an inner circle of authority. These individuals are at least dimly aware of the prophecies, and in one instance, are clear about what the future holds in the 21st century.

2012 is claimed to be a year of spiritual transformation (or apocalypse). Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world order, although there is a distinct lack of evidence from the extant records of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization that they themselves considered this occurrence in 2012 would signify end of the world. There are a variety of theories, like pieces of a puzzle waiting to be placed together:

The 1997 book The Bible Code claims that, according to certain algorithms of the Bible code, a meteor, asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth.

The book The Nostradamus Code speaks of a series of natural disasters caused by a comet (possibly as above) which will allow the third anti-Christ to disperse his troops around the globe under the guise of aid in preparation for a nuclear war.

The book The Orion Prophecy claims that the Earth's magnetic field will reverse.

Terence McKenna's mathematical novelty theory predicts a point of singularity in which humankind will go through a great shift in consciousness.

The Prophecy of the Popes, attributed to Saint Malachy, speculated that Pope Benedict XVI would reign during the beginning of the tribulation of which Jesus spoke, and sometime later a future pope described in the prophecy as "Peter the Roman", the last in this prophetic list, would appear, bringing as a result the destruction of the city of Rome and the Last Judgement.

Many new age spiritualists and philosophers ("new-agers") believe humankind will enter an age of enlightenment in 2012. There are a range of varying, generally positive, beliefs shared by a subset of spiritualists from the mundane to exceptional -- including a positive social shift and age of peace, mankind becoming psychic and connected by a collective, and/or an evolution of the human race into non-corporeal beings made of "spiritual" energy, or light energy. An alternative view is that we are already thought-forms (see also idealism) and will be realizing our true selves in this year.

Some alien-enthusiasts, along with some new-agers, believe 2012 to correspond approximately with the return of alien "watchers" or "caretakers" who might have helped the first human civilizations with developing their technology and may have been waiting for us to reach a higher level of technological and/or social advancement. Beliefs range from the extra-terrestrials having benevolent purposes -- such as to help human society evolve -- to malevolent purposes -- such as enslavement of mankind and/or manipulation.

The ascetic Buddhist monk Ram Bahadur Bomjon reportedly told his followers that he would return around 2012.

Some proponents of a peak oil catastrophe place major events in 2012. Richard C. Duncan's book The Peak of World Oil Production and the Road To The Olduvai Gorge claims that the Olduvai cliff will begin and permanent blackouts will occur worldwide. Several studies predict a peak in oil production in or around 2012.

In addition, of course, we have Planet X, the 12th planet also known as Nibiru and Marduk or some another anomaly is headed our way. Zecharia Sitchin first brought the awareness of the 12th planet to the rest of the world by translating thousands of Sumerian tablets. Nibiru (translated as 'planet of [the] crossing') is a planet on a huge elliptical orbit that passes close by the earth about every 3,600 years or so.

One thing is known from Sitchin's work, the 12th planet is\was home of the gods of Sumeria who came from Nibiru or the 12th planet in spaceships 450,000 years ago. The second important element to consider is that Sumeria is presently one of the oldest known civilizations, in fact, he attributes much in the way of knowledge, architectural achievements and spiritual and cultural advancements to these visitors. In his second book, The Stairway to Heaven, he writes, "It was the land whose name--Shumer [Sumer]--literally meant, "Land of the Watchers". It was indeed the Egyptian Ta Neter-- Land of the Watchers, the land from which the gods had come to Egypt. Now this is where it gets interesting.

In the late 18th century, 3 newly found Ethiopic scrolls were brought to England. Almost 50 years pass until they were finally translated into English. Turns out they were the long lost books of Enoch, great-grandfather of Noah. A book that is at the very least apocryphal but really belongs in the Bible. It will never be afforded that place of honor however because Enoch warns humankind of the fallen angels among us. He calls them Watchers.

These Watchers voluntarily descended to earth when they 'lusted after the daughters of men.' It was actually the second fall from Heaven as recorded in the Old Testament. The original fallen angels, cast down by Archangel Michael, were called Nephilim which eventually got changed from 'cast down angels' to the milk toast version, 'giants in the earth.' Enoch came to warn the people of the warring and whoring ways of the Watchers.

Atlantis, out in the Atlantic, was able to maintain a very high culture immersed in the Spiritual Laws laid down by the Great Adepts but finally she succumbed to selfishness, desires of the flesh and the materialistic world that the Sumerians espoused. Noah, Enoch's great-grandson, warned the Atlanteans to change their ways or else cataclysm will wash the land clean. You know the result, well; your subconscious does if you do not.

On this planet are several evolutions: Sons and Daughters of God, the Children of God and the Nephilim all mentioned in the Bible.

("When mankind had spread all over the world, and girls were being born, some of the supernatural beings saw that the girls were beautiful, so they took ones they liked... In those days, and even later, there were giants [Nephilim] on the earth who were descendants of human women and the supernatural beings (Today's English Version, Gen. 6:4)")

We also have the Watchers, exposed by Enoch. Sitchin found another to add to the list, the anunnaki. He says they were created by the aliens from Nibiru as a worker/slave race. Since God did not create them, they are in effect, robots who look not to God as the Supreme Deity but to their makers (the aliens from the 12th planet). This whole hodgepodge has been reincarnating to the present day. The Watchers and Nephilim know they have little time before the Judgement so they hide themselves among us, tying themselves karmatically to those who love God, so that it will be difficult for God to take them. They also gravitate towards positions of power.

There is, however, the guiding hand of First Source that never releases, nor turns away in indifference, and this same hand touches into the deepest part of you - especially in times such as these, and it proffers insight. My message to each of you is to listen to this insight in the quiet of the night or morning, in the natural ways of the sky, the ocean, the woods, or fields, and invite it to reveal the emotional intelligence that survives the physical body. Allow this to prevail in your heart and mind even amid the unsettling times of today and the future. When you capture this insight, anchor it in your life by expressing it through your senses of touch, sight, hearing, and sound. You can think of this as the Reassurance Vibration.

This is the vibration you will want to carry inside of you.

This is the vibration you will want to share.

Perhaps this is the end, when Mother Nature finally decides to shrug off the oppressiveness that has been created by the children and start anew. We may just end up living through another doomsday prophecy, going to work or school as usual, looking back on the prophecies and laughing them off.

These could be signs, or perhaps more accurately termed as symptoms. It is up to each of us to figure it out. Humanity will figure it out and understand. However, you and I need to seek the understanding now. It is the understanding that will give us the wings we will need when the time comes.

The End Of The World As We Know It and New Beginnings

"And there shall be signs in the , and in the moon, and in the ; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."

My stand is clear; produce to distribute, feed before you eat, give before you take, think of others, before you think of yourself. Only a selfless society based on sharing can be stable and happy. This is the only practical solution. If you do not want it - then fight. - Nisargadatta Maharaj

Prepare Ye the Way - the Purpose of Prophecy

Vasanas literally in , mean fragrance. It also means innate desires, tendencies and innate impressions, which occur from previous births. Vasanas express themselves through your Body, Mind, and Intellect in the world of Objects, Emotions, and Thoughts.

In the of Hinduism, the jiva is described as , , and . It is said not to be a product of the material world (), but of a higher 'spiritual' nature. At the point of physical death, the jiva takes a new physical body depending on and the individual desires of the particular jiva in question.

The ultimate goal of the jiva is (depending on the particular philosophical tradition you follow):

"Brahman is of the nature of truth, knowledge and infinity". Thus, Brahman is the origin and end of all things, material or otherwise.

It is defined as unknowable and (Truth-Consciousness-Bliss). Since it is and , it comprises the only .

"All paths lead to the one Brahman, though many sages [and religions] call him different things."

Remember that your mind is a storehouse of your vasanas (past life experiences/impressions) from which all action emanates. This is stored in the earth's magnetic field.

FACT: December 21, 2012 is the Winter Solstice, and provides us with a view that will not be seen again in any of our lifetimes.

At sunrise Dec 21st 2012, Earth will be crossing the galactic equator, aligning itself with the center of the galaxy for the first time in 26,000 years. The Sun will conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way in the ecliptic. This will make a cosmic cross. This cosmic cross is considered the .

This will open a channel for universal energy to flow through Earth, cleansing it and all that dwell upon it, raising all to a higher level of vibration. This process has already begun.

A new dawn of enlightenment would be a step towards progression, in that mankind would become more aware of their surroundings and the impact that they have on the Earth as well as a higher intelligence and consciousness and a better mindset for helping their fellow man.

Look around, the material reality that surrounds us is beginning to crack apart, and with it all of our illusions. The global capitalist system that is currently devouring our planetary resources will soon self-destruct; leaving many of us bereft.

Nevertheless, understand the nature of paradox: For those who follow these words and open their hearts and their minds - for those who have "ears to hear" - there is no problem whatsoever. What is false must die in order for what is true to be born.

"Reality", as we currently experience it, is something like a waking dream. It is a projection, or let us say an interface, disguising deeper and more intensified levels of being and knowing. For those who are ready and willing, the doors to those other levels now stand open.

Those who have expended their lives in the pursuit of egocentric and material gains - without courage or originality, without fighting for human freedom or the preservation of the planetary environment - will also receive the rewards that they deserve.

The materiality of our universe is a solid-state illusion. What is this universe? It is a poem that writes itself. It is a song that sings itself into being. This universe has no origin and no end.

Resonate, at the same time, with the essence of Islam. Islam means submission, surrender, to the will of God - a more polite way of saying this is "go with the flow."

Thinking is a part of reality. Thought generates new potentials and possibilities of manifestation. Thought changes the nature of reality. Thought changes the nature of time.

I venerate Sophia, Goddess of wisdom, (and to which the biblical Book of Proverbs is essentially dedicated) who clothes God's thoughts in material form, and worship Shakti, the erotic current of feminine energy that powers the universe.

The Sophia has many names within different cultures; Quan Yin, Tara, the Bride of Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Schekinah of the Cabala, the Black Madonna, Divine Wisdom, the alchemic divine wedding of the Conjunctio, and the Beloved to name a few.

Ranked in ascending order of sanctity, the seven holy virtues are:

As Venus transits the face of the Sun it acts as a tuning resonance that amplifies frequencies beaming to the earth, aligning us with our higher or galactic natures or origins.

In answer to what can we do now, a Hopi elder speaks:

"This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.

"Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water.

"And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

"The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!

"Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we must do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

"We are the ones we have been waiting for."

The earth will not be destroyed December 21st 2012. Mayan view this date as a rebirth - the start of the world of the fifth Sun. Going into the 5th dimension, it will be the start of a new era.

There is scientific evidence that our DNA is evolving, and forming new strands, and the complete evolutionary process of our DNA will be finished in 2012. With this, we will be able to gain mystical wisdom unknown by the children of man, yet known by the children of light.

Life Principles of the Sovereign Integral

We have been designed to explore new fields of vibration and transform through this process of discovery to a new level of understanding and expression.

It is our natural state of existence and has removed itself from the controlling aspects of society through the complete activation of embedded Source Codes. (Yep, it is how we are wired/programmed)

This is the level of capability that was "seeded" within humankind when it was initially conceived. Everyone is in various stages of the transformational experience and each are destined to achieve understanding as their Source Codes become fully activated.

This confluence is realized only through the transformational experience, which is unlike anything known within the time-space universes.

There have been those upon terra-earth who have experienced a shallow breath of wind from this powerful tempest. Some have called it ascension; others have attributed names like illumination, vision, enlightenment, nirvana, and cosmic consciousness.

Nevertheless, the human instrument is critical in facilitating the transformational experience and causing it to trigger -- like a metamorphosis -- integration into the Sovereign Integral.

This is the next stage of perception and expression for the entity model, and it is activated when the entity designs its reality from life principles that are symbolic of Source Reality, as opposed to the reality of an external source that is bound to the evolution/saviorship model of existence.

There are three particular life principles that accelerate the transformational experience and help to align the human instrument with the Sovereign Integral perspective. They are:

1) Universe relationship through gratitude

2) Observance of Source in all things

3) Nurturance of life

When the individual applies these principles, their life experience reveals a deeper meaning to its apparently random events -- both in the universal and personal contexts.

Know thy self before the world, is an ancient edict, and the vagaries of the exterial cosmos, while interesting to know from a curiosity perspective, are not particularly relevant when compared to understanding one's personal universe. What is within is without equal.

Consider: Hopi Prophecy

According to prophecy, when modern man begins to depend on the money system for food and no longer on Mother Earth, when this happens Mother Earth will hide the nourishment which she provides because of the peoples' view that ancient food is poor man's food.

The Hopi prophecy is an oral tradition of stories that Hopis say predicted the coming of the white man, the world wars and nuclear weapons. And it predicts that time will end when humanity emerges into the ."

The Mayan calendar predicts a similar end in 2012; some Hopis have said their prophecy roughly coincides with that time.

The tradition says the years after 2012 could be a golden age with humans at peace. It also says the world will go through a time of trial, suffering and purification before a time of "one-heartedness."

PROPHECY

THE GOURD FULL OF ASHES

THE DAY OF PURIFICATION

Just what are the Hopi prophetic instructions regarding the United Nations and what constituted fulfillment?

PROPHECY

The prophets dare say a peaceful new world order will be drawn in Hopi land. The people will live under one God and leader. We will speak one language, the Hopi. The earth will bloom again.

If this fails to materialize our Great Creator through nature will do the task according to their plans. It could be total destruction in any form. Only brother and sister will survive to begin a new way of life.

This prophecy is frightening and doubtful. Perhaps it is of no value to most people,b ut we can wait and see if it will become true. But don't forget the past. ancient history tells us that many mighty empires have fallen. The great Roman Empire only one of many.

A CHALLENGE BY THE ELDERS

Do not lose hope.

Good Day

White Feather

"My people await Pahana, the lost White Brother, [from the stars] as do all our brothers in the land. He will not be like the white men we know now, who are cruel and greedy. we were told of their coming long ago. But still we await Pahana.

"He will bring with him the symbols, and the missing piece of that sacred tablet now kept by the elders, given to him when he left, that shall identify him as our True White Brother.

"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are left.

"This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana men who took the land that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder.

"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes -- the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies."

My stand is clear;
produce to distribute,
feed before you eat,
give before you take,
think of others, before you think of yourself.

Only a selfless society based on sharing
can be stable and happy.
This is the only practical solution.
If you do not want it - then fight.
