2012As we approach the end of the 5,125-year Long Count Calendar of the Classic

Maya, there is increasing fascination with the brilliant culture of this lost

civilization and the mysterious transition they predicted. Does the completion

of the 13th baktun presage a doomsday event as Hollywood chose to project? Will

we undergo a rapid transformation of global society in response to ecologicalcatastrophe? Could there be a shift into another "dimension" of psychic awareness?

The thinkers we have collected in the first of our occasional Transmissions offer

varied perspectives on 2012, which is quickly becoming an iconic symbol for the

potential and the peril that the human species faces now.

veil of delusion. Lost in the media haze of spin, bogus reporting,

and talking points, which reduce deep issues that affect our future to

mere sound bites, it has become more and more difficult to discern the

false from the true. The prevailing forces of the modern world have

brought us to a state where we are out of balance, out of tune. The

question is how did this come about?

Jose Arguelles speaks eloquently of this misalignment resulting from

the shift from the Lunar calendar to the Gregorian calendar. The

previous calendar, based on Lunar cycles as opposed to our

current calendar which is based on solar cycleswas attuned to

a different vibration, one of harmony with the rhythms and

cycles of nature. The transition from Lunar time to Solar

time was also a transition from cyclic time to linear time.

As the Lunar time period waned, our right-brain feminine-

based qualities of cr eativity, art and beauty were repressed

and the left-brain tendencies of order, efficiency and

logic became the dominant force. With industrialization,

the solar-based calendars took a firm grip on us and we

became bound by time, locked into mechanical rhythms,

habitual patterns of thought and motion. We have become a

society of slaves to the clock and to the machines that appeared to offer

us freedom, but at what cost? Today we are isolated from nature and each

other, a society of consumers. In our greed, we have not only gobbled up

the resources of the past, but we are devouring the future as well.

Think about it. The twentieth century with all of its invention, wars,

and change was brought to us by the power of one sing le substance

oil. Over the course of the last one hundred years, during this Age of

Oil, we have used up millions of years of compacted light created by

the bones and residue of the plants and animals that once occupied

this planet. On a metaphysical level that means our very environ-

ment is suffused with the ka or psychic residue of these living

beings from the past. Is the Age of Oil an outer manifestation of

the karmic traces, seeds of destruction left from the inhabitants of

a former age? It certainly appears so.

Now that the Age of Oil is comi ng to an end we will

all face enormous difficulties, but instead of planning for these

eventualities, our corporations, leaders and politicians are ignoring

their responsibilities and are using up the world at an even faster

rate than before.

The world, our environment and our future appear to have

become a gigantic closeout salewhere everything must go.

Just take a look around. It seems that everything is up for grabs.

Anything can happen. The real question that lies before us is this: will

the human race survive this process? Will we c ontinue to fall for the

seduction of materialism, war and domination or open our eyes and

live consciously? Will we finally achieve our potential and manifest our

destiny or will we wither away like the dinosaurs? Fac

essential questions, what can we do?

I believe that the answer is to free our minds; wake u

trance. And how can we do this? By shifting our focus in

ourselves with the highest spiritual values. If we look inw

with spirit, perceive and strip away the conditioned actio

Jose Arguelles calls it the climax of matter, Jean Houston refers to it

as jump time, and Ray Kurzweil names it the approaching singularity.

Each person who studies this phenomenon calls it by a different name, or

uses different terms to describe it, but they are all speaking of the same

ideathat human experience is reaching some kind of ultimate point.

Significantly, many prophecies from ancient traditions around the

world have also pointed to this time period as a time of great upheaval

and change, perhaps the most important in human history. The Mayans

of Mexico marked this ti me with their famous calendar; the alchemists of

Europe built the Cross of Hendaye to describe it; the Quero Indians of

Peru call it the PachaKuti; and the ancient Egyptians referred to it as the

Zep Tepi or The First Time. In the Indo-Tibetan tradition it is equated

with the final throes of the Kali Yuga, the Age of Iron. Each of these

traditions tells us that a great transformative moment is at hand, a mo-

ment in which we have the opportunity to release old patterns and re-link

ourselves with the essential rhythms and harmonies of the universe.

In all of these prophecies this shift is not just limited to historical tan-

gibles globalization, the internet, global warming and the destruction of

the environmentbut is deeply embedded in almost all of the great spiri-

tual traditions of humanity. According to these traditions this approaching

singularity will be the most profound event in history; everything that we

know, everything that we are, is about to undergo a radical change.

It might be said that right now there is a great slumber across the land,

Alberto Villoldo refers to it as a cultural trance, Jose Arguelles, a dream-

spell, Riane Eisler calls it the dominator trance or the last gasp of the

patriarchy. It is as if a glamour has been cast over our collective eyes, a

Man is the Measureof all Things.

Once upon a time in the outskirts of the Milky Way Galaxy, crea-

tures calling themselves homo sapiens, a Latin ter m meaning wise orknowing man, lived in one of its smaller solar systems on a very small

planet they nicknamed dirt or Earth. Ironically, they were not wise,

knowing -- or unique. They had simply forgotten their birth origins

and destiny as celestial beings of the Orion Nebula, the birthplace of

stars, the Suns of God on Earth.

So over the course of centuries, as they gazed into the night sky

sitting around campfires yearning for clues, a sign from on high, they

told each other creation stories, myths, and performed acts, rituals, to

explain why they were in this predicament.

Some religionists said they sinned against a god, in one form

or another, a being that had returned to the sky. That they were

now quarantined on Earth until a savior, in one form or another,

returned as promised at the end-of-time.

Others of these so-called wise men known as scientists taught

humans were accidents of a blind and dumb gene-generating universe;

freaks of nature, that gods and saviors did not even exist.

But then these myths and rituals, especially the ancient symbols

used in astrology began to make sense, add-up, with the modern obser-

vations of astronomy. One of these homo sapiens named Carl Sagan

even mused:Some 25 million years ago, a Galactic survey ship on a

routine visit to the third planet of a relatively common G dwarf star, our

Sun, may have noted an interesting and promising evolutionary

development: Proconsul, the ancestor of homo sapiens, or modern man.

Archaeologist, historian, and mythologist also known as D. M.

Murdock, conclusively documents that major world religions are in

fact founded upon an astro-theology: the story of stars as gods sent

down from heaven to earth to save men from ignorance.

The larger realization based upon the overwhelming evidence

suggests these humans represented the gods as action heroes on the

ground to the people, as she catalogues in her book Suns of God:

Krishna, Buddha, and Christ Unveiled. Of course, we have Jesus

himself saying: I have said, you are gods; and all of you are children

of the most High.

Nonetheless, once we saw the creation story focused

through the lens of Galileo and later Hubble and Herschel

telescopes, the lights came on to full-star power again across

the entire spectrum of science and religion theories of origins.

And a whole new way of seeing oursel ves not as freaks of

nature but as a planned family of geneti cally engineered, star

seeded, celestial beings emerged. Clearly, the occult, or hid-

den, records collected by esoteric societies were beginning to

pay rich dividends too with respect to our relationship to stars.

One of these pioneers, Alice Bailey, reported: In the secret of the

Sun Sirius are hidden the facts of our cosmic evolution, and inciden-tally, therefore, of our solar system. The Sirius System is always beam-

ing helpful rays to the poor people of Earth who wallow in appalling

ignorance, violence, and oppression.

Suddenly the musings of mystics, s hamans, and prophets of every

culture made more sense, fit a pattern mir rored by stone structures at

sacred sites worldwide; in particular Asia, Egypt, Mexico, England as well

as the Hopi Nation in North America and Inca Empire in South America.

Egyptologist Wallis Budge, and others, linked the stars in Si rius,

Orion, and Pleiades with emitting spiritual rays of li ght that vivify

gods, men, cattle, and creeping things ... out of the seed of the soul.

Budge even declared, The mention of Orion and Sothis (Sirius) is

interesting, for it shows that at one time the Egyptians believed that

these stars were the homes of departed souls.

This rediscovered truth is straight-forward: We humans were

designed to operate on a cosmic larger-than-life scale, as a super-

man mystics called Adam Kadmon, and artist Leonardo Da Vinci

portrayed as perfection personified in The Vitruvian Man. That is,

our human body was the mathematical mirror-image of the Phi ratio

Fibonacci series spiral, the golden mean of the Cosmos.

Overall, we see our self-image in a new light as that of a super-

star, the Sun of God, in fact, what theologian Matthew Fox calls The

Cosmic Christ.

Plato was very clear in his treatise, Timaeus, that God made

souls in equal number with the stars and distributed them, each soul

to its several star, and he who should live well for his due span of time

should journey back to the habitation of his consort star.

Consciousness is King, proclaimed philosopher of Rome, Ploti-

nus, in the 3rd century A.D.

This then is true hidden knowledge: Stars are conscious beings of light

and co-create planets for the development of infinite Christs-in-potential!

Gregory Sams, co-founder of the Harmony/Whole Earth Foods

outlets in the United Kingdom, chaos theory expert, and now bestsell-

ing author of Sun of God: Consciousness and the Self-Organizing

Force that Underlies Everything has it spot on: This is the greatest

cover-up in history!

In other words, human beings are created to live eternally as

physical beings made of sunlight. We are Children of the Sun, and the

Sun behind the Sun, the Mother Star Clusters in the Orion Nebula of

our Milky Way Galaxy.

The Orion Nebula is the birthplace of our Suns solar system and

its lifecycle known as World Sun Ages. T he Maya, for example, saw the

rebirth of Ear th as beginning the Fifth Sun Age on December 22, 2012.

Ancients saw how species are seeded and mutated by starbursts,

supernova explosions, solar flares, and Coronal Mass Ejections, or

CMEs, as well as advanced civilizations. They saw cross-breeding be-

tween gods and men potentially helped evolve new cosmic creatures in

an infinite loop of creation, destruction, and recreation: the life, death,

and rebirth cycle of Suns of God.

This was hinted in the Holy Bible that such was the case as in

Genesis 6:4: There were giants in the earth in those days; and also

after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men,

and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which

were of old, men of renown.

Now scientists agree: we are Star Children: In a very real sense,

says University of Illinois astrophysicist Larry Smarr, we are the

grandchildren of supernovas.

Harvard professor of astronomy, Robert Kirshner, says, Gen-

erations of supernovas created the elements we take for granted-the

oxygen we breathe, the calcium in our bones, and the iron in your

blood are products of the stars.

Fascinatingly enough, these sacred site ruins that we have turned

into tourist traps can now become star map repositories of i nvaluable

star seed information to reclaim our origins and destiny according to

many scholars of them today.

And as we dug deeper into the forensic evidence of sacred sites,

examined the blood, bone, and stones, so to speak; we decoded the

meaning of the 12 signs of the times: the houses, mansions, or

constellations the Greeks named Zodiac, or Circle of Animals.

Again, it was Jesus who said: In my Fathers house are many

mansions, I go and prepare a place for you.

So Zodiac signs were used to assign specific energy signatures to

stars in the night sky with stones carefully crafted on-the- ground to

create a mirror-image of their consciousness traits. This maps the 12

characteristics of constellations. Our own stars lifecycle through time

and eternity in what we know now as a 26,000 year precession of the

equinox of The Great Year.

Naturopathic health practitioner Amalia Camateros, proclaimed

in her book Spirit of the Stones: A Revival of Earth Wisdom, based

upon insights into the Anasazi of the American Southwest: This

knowledge was stored in the rocks as living libraries and kept safe

within until a future time.

Stones are in effect sponges: they absorb and store consciousness

that is carried by 12-rays of sunlight. Our human brain has 12 cranial

nerves and earth 12 major tectonic plates to process light energy

through them too. Needless to say, 12 is a key number to life, death,

and rebirth as it defines, partitions, or sectors space itself into 12 signs

of the Zodiac.

Perhaps, that is the greatest insights of so-call ed pa

For

To

John L. Petersen


8/11

Until now, this discussion has been largely descriptive.

What is going on? What might be in our future? The much more

important issue is, what are we going to do about it? It may not be

clear yet where we are going, but what is clear is how to get where

we decide we want to go. The future doesnt just happen; we make it

happen. It is the product of our desires, interests, perspectives, visions,

and actions.

What we think and what we do makes a difference.

It makes the only difference.

This is not just a meaningless platitude of the kind that is offered

repeatedly at graduation ceremonies. The images that we have in our

minds (or not) about what wed like to be, where wed like to go, and

what kind of world wed like to live in directly shape what we do. Ourbehavior is consistent with our worldview, and therefore contributes

to sustaining it.

Most people who have made their way through school, particu-

larly college, have watched their worldview change and in a short

period have seen the options available to them open up in ways they

never before anticipated. They see themselves and their possibilities

in a different way ... and then they choose different directions in their

lives. For me it was the Navy. Join the Navy, see the world, they said.

It was true. I saw and experienced all kinds of things in less than a

handful of years that radically altered who I believed I was and where

I was going for the rest of my life.

In the face of the rapidly converging trends approaching, not only

do we need to persevere, we need to be on the offense: to shape and

help manifest the new world that will c ertainly evolve, whether we take

an active role in it or not. We need a vision -- something to aim for.

Both an explicit and an intuitive sense of where were going is critical

to this whole transition. If you dont know where youre going, as they say,

any destination will do. In this context, that approach is not a good idea.Visions are magical. They function in strange ways to guide you to

achieving them. When you see the world in terms of explicit objec-

tives, opportunities, and options, serendipitous things seem to show up

to help you get to where you want to go. You dont have to understand

how they work to appreciate that visions really do work. Effective busi-

ness leaders know intuitively that if they havent hung a big exciting

vision in front of their employees, then the organization will wander

about rather aimlessly searching for some random objective to home

in on. If they are successful in crisply communicating exceptional

possibilities for the company and providing the resources to fuel them,

they can literally change their world. The same can be said for an

individual ... and for an administration.

We need to change theworld around a new vision.

Its important to keep in mind that were talking about a new

world. Were not trying to build a better version of what we alreadyhave. Here is the sequence:

In this new world, humanity has figured out how to do its business

in ways that do not produce the kinds of problems that caused the old,

smoldering decomposition in the first place. In this world, we certainly

learn something from the traumatic experience.

The key to getting to this new future is a vision. We need a picture

of a viable global future to guide us going forward. In practical terms,this new world needs to be pretty idealistic. After all, were really

(really!) going to build a new one in a new context, which makes all

kinds of things possible that certainly wouldnt work right now. Thats

what we should aim for. Thats the contextual objective we should

carry around in our minds.

After that,we live it.

The trends and plausible big-change events discussed here appear to potentially

An increased emphasis on connectedness and interdependence.The Internet, the global

economy, the environment, and many other aspects of life have made transparent that we are all directly

and indirectly connected to each other and the larger context in which we live in ways that were previously

not obvious. All transactions now take these li nkages into consideration. Because of this interdependence,

it is logical that nonconstructive relationships are intrinsically destructive and that there has been ...

A shift toward cooperation and away from competition. The interdependencies that we live with

coupled with the highly destructive potential of advanced technologies have made it obvious that finding

ways of working together is much better than fighting over differences. This has translated into a ...

Commitment to conflict resolution without resorting to violence. The potential destructive

capability of new technologies juxtaposed with the need to build a new world has mandated that violence,

especially between developed nations, as in all-out world wars, is no longer feasible. Sophisticated methods

of negotiation and influence become the main tools of persuasion.

A commitment to justice for all people. Since in an i nterconnected society injustice to some ultimately

affects all others, a broad-based commitment to justice for all is imperative.

A world of abundance. The resolution of energy problems and the advent of advanced information-

technology applications presents the possibility of a world without intrinsic scarcity. Equitable access to and

distribution of food, knowledge, shelter, and work could well become possible.

Individual self-realization. The crucible of ph enomenal global change would produce a new perspective

of oneself and the untapped potential in each of us. A dedication to self-realization would be reflected in all

aspects of human activity.

Individuals choose for themselves rather than taking their cues externally.

Interdependency coupled with unsurpassed knowledge and a common allegiance tojustice weakens the requirement for centralized authority.

That new world might look like this:

Values and Perspectives

Harmony with nature. The fact that everything that lives on this planet is

connected with everything else means that we live with nature, actively cocreating

the context within which we live. We herefore see ourselves as part of the larger,

global system. Maintaining harmony with nature is a priority that produces

personal, spiritual, physical, and economic benefits.

A shift toward localization. The failure of global supply chains initiates a reliance

on local suppliers rather than distant ones. This is especially true with food items, for

which local farmers and ranchers become preferred.

A commitment to healthy food. Fresh, healthy food is a necessity for sustaining the

physical and mental requirements of living in the new world.

These values and perspectives are reflected and reinforced in all other areas:

Science and Technology

A clean, all-electric world is achieved. We have entered the post-petroleum

age and the world is moving toward all-electric status. Electricity is produced by

pollution-free sources that in most cases require no extracted fuel, like generators

that run off tidal currents , turbines driven by deep-well-produced steam, and

advanced solar and wind devices.

The global brain is rapidly evolving. Unprecedented knowledge generation,

discovery, and problem resolution are everyday occurrences, spurred by exponential

developments in computing and communication technologies. Intractable problems

are solved with capabilities that were impossible to imagine just ten years earlier.

New agricultural methods that do not rely on synthetic petroleum-based fertiliz

become dominant. Seawater-based agriculture is becoming commonplace, encouraging f

in vast areas that previous had no freshwater for irrigation.

The challenge of environmental sustainability is resolved.Problem-solving knowledge

technology and a new perspective on our relationship with nature results in significantly new

ways of maintaining our environment.

Pressing Problems

We have moved beyond the petroleum age. Clean, sustainable, independent sources of energy are

the only approaches that are supported.

Energy production is decentralized and more distributed.Energy producti

into electricity. All sources contribute to the grid, fewer c entral power plants are r

Social Systems

An equitable way to have a global yet local civilization is worked out.Tensions have been

balanced between the forces of globalization, universal connectivity, and interdependence, as well as the

increasing marginalization of people and cultures that always seemed to attend those trends.

Decentralization along with an ecology of cultures is effected. Local, cultural character still

colors societies, but at the same time all groups have learned how to relate effectively to the larger world

Global issues become global interests. A communications process is in place that allows all c

a current interest in pressing global issues. The world thinks and acts together for the common goo

Global security is discovered, removing the legitimacy of war.The experience of having lived

through or narrowly sidestepped a major world war with unheard-of new weapons convinces the world

that modern combat is not an option. Sophisticated behavior-modification approaches and incentives are

The possibility of nuclear war is prevented with 100 percent reliability.War is n

Charter closely resembles this vision. It was written with the input of

five thousand people, has been endorsed by numerous governments,

organizations, and a multitude of individuals, and draws more than

one hundred thousand people to its website each month.

Effectively transitioning to this new world will require envisioning

it into reality. We will all need to use a model like the one above to

build a coherent idea of what the new world might look like-the

principles, values, structures, behavior-and begin to carry that common

picture in our minds. We need to get together at regular times with

as many others as possible to project the new images, talk about them,

and debate them. We should do it as though our lives depend on it, as

they probably do.

Recently,

I have taken as my personal

mantra the not very transcendent phrase,

I dont know. The list of things I feel unsure about seems to

be steadily increasing. For instance, I dont know if our soli psistic species

will survive much longer, and sometimes I am not even sure how much I care.

I dont know if Barack Obama is a warm-hearted leader who will unite people at a time

of adversity, or the most brilliant puppet ever put forth by the New World Order conspirators

(who, as radio journalist and documentary filmmaker Alex Jones suggests, may be plotting a program

of rapid depopulation). I dont know if the increase in UFO sightings means we are approaching abenevolent contact experience or a horrific predatory ambush. I dont know if global warming is mainly

caused by human action, or if it is part of a phase transition of the entire solar system, as the Russian

scientist Dmitriev proposes.

I dont know if men and women should be monogamous or if it is better to be bonobo-like in ones erotic habits. I

dont know if we will develop some type of new energy technology that will rescue us from Peak Oil, or if we are destined to

see industrial civilization devolve and disintegrate as fossil fuel becomes scarce. I dont know whether to learn to grow food and

harvest rainwater or to master some weird new esoteric discipline like Vortex Healing or Keylontic Science. I dont know if free

will exists, or if we are conditioned robots, performing an illusory spectacle scripted by Hindu deities or dreamtime ancestors.

I dont know if we should get rid of reli gions or create a really cool new one.

I dont know whether to stockpile gold or create an intentional community. I dont know whether to stay in Manhattan or head for

the hills. I dont know whether we are approaching global enlightenment or regressing into barbarism. I dont know whether

biotec hnolog y and nanotechnology will fuse to give us immortal physical bodies or if we will all croak as our mis treated planet falls apart.

I dont know if any thing special will happen on December 21, 201 2. I dont know if I should start a ri ot or throw a party. I

dont know whether to panic or relax.

Something seems to be happening that is beyond my capacity to understand or articulate. I can only assume other people are feeling

this way as well. We are witnessing the coll apse of the old, rigidified structures, while the new hasnt come into realization yet -- that is, i f

there is going to be a new anything. A change seems to be happening at the level of logic, which is becoming less dualistic, less either-or, and

more binary, both-and. Former diametric opposites are moving toward confluence, as well as dissonance, in various areas: Like tweakedout psychonauts, the physicists at CERN discuss opening portals into other dimensions. As the financial system evaporates, incredible new

gizmos like Pandora and Cool Iris spread freely on the Internet. Obama references Chicago 1968 in his acceptance speech at Grant Park,

then hires as his economic advisers the guys who, under Clinton, deregulated the banking system, causing the current disaster.

Reality is becoming more improvisational and up-tempo. Although I dont pretend to have certainty about it, the ideas that Jose

Arguelles, Terence McKenna and others have proposed about time speeding up and going through ever-faster fractal spirals of historical

pantomime -- including, alas, the mass suffering usually caused by historical convulsions - seem increasingly on the mark. If we are

shifting away from dualistic separation and linear logic to a binary thought marked by polarities, this also suggests a shift from the

modern historical perspective to a revived mythological consciousness. Like processes in the unconscious, myth resolves oppositions

through symbol and image, without need of rational explanation. A society that reintegr ates mythic thought at a deeper level

of awareness will be able to handle seemingly contradictory perspectives without breaking down.

I dont know if we will live to see the birth of such a new worldview as part of a regenerated civilization, or if we

only get to see the decline and fall of our current dinosaur. It does seem that ever-increasing numbers of people are

done with it and ready to move on, but move on to what?

Some theorists propose we have reached a point in evolution where we have the capacity to consciously

co-create reality, and choose our own script for the future. Sometimes, this feels fuzzily plausible to me.

On the other hand, our past actions and intentions have created the reality we experience now. It

seems highly unlikely we can phase-shift to hyperspace, the fifth-dimension, or whatever it is

until we have learned how to take proper care of this material world and those who share it

with us. Although maybe I am wrong and we will get a free pass. I just dont know.
