ASPECTS OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS PART 2

This blog posted immediately prior to the winter solstice 2012.

In this blog will be highlighted several areas of human reality that are apparent to me. First I was stimulated by a recent Youtube piece concerning the theory of the Holographic Universe by its author Michael Talbot. The theory states the idea that all of reality is contained within each part. In an additional element to the talk the author proposed the idea that all reality is a projection from within the human consciousness. Thus in a sea of vibrations three-dimensional reality is projected on to those vibrations by human awareness as a result of mass agreements.

These mass agreements are now breaking down according to my insights and the perspectives of other mystics. So we have the idea of a change of reality. In essence what we do have is a change, a development of consciousness. This development is occurring across all levels of three-dimensional existence. The human, animal, vegetable, mineral and non-physical being mass consciousnesses are all changing in concert with each other. So the total mass consciousness is a combination of all the others combined. They interact and interpenetrate each other.

We project this mass consciousness development by attaching three-dimensional constructs to it as causes.

‘Oh, It’s the end of the Maya calendar,’ we say.

We are entering a higher vibrational area of the universe,’ we add.

Some of us will say ‘The Aliens or a religious deity will come down to save us from the end of the world.’

No-one, religious or Alien, will be dropping down to Earth to waft us away before the final destruction of planet Earth in my view. The beings of Earth are going no-where other that remaining in their developing mass consciousness. The physical appearance of the Earth is part of the mass consciousness. It is apparent to me that the Earth consciousness is an awareness in its own right and part of this whole.

So what is occurring is simply a change, a development. How that will manifest we will have to wait and see at this objective consciousness level.

 Second part.

The Tibetan and other spiritual ancient spiritual traditions propose the idea of a higher self or consciousness. This higher self releases a number of aspects of itself into dimensional existence and awareness for the purpose of development. These aspects may be human in form or not. Into this system is built a feedback system so that all aspects or forms can learn from each other if sensitively attuned.

This learning can be developed through insights and meditative techniques. In some cases the feedback thus generated will empower the aspiring being with powerful learning opportunities. It may be that this learning occurs spontaneously.

 wrote the following in our first book ‘So You Think We’re Alone’. The book was written in the third person through the eyes of the co-writer and friend Peter Haines.

Birch mused, one day in meditation, on the reality physically of other beings in ’his’ family. Instantly, on the screen of consciousness, two images appeared. One was the head of a lizard-like being, almost crocodile headed. As it turned to look in his direction he saw that this being had incredibly intelligent eyes. The vision quickly faded to be replaced by another one. This was of a group being which looked like a clump of tulip flowers, but each individual head possessed an eye in the centre of the tulip shaped head. Each eye, Birch felt, possessed its own intelligence but was also part of a group intelligence. Perhaps this group intelligence worked similarly to the way that birds do  when they are wheeling very fast together, Birch mused. This vision also quickly faded leaving Birch again to attempt to make sense of the baffling images.

The concept of doubles is possibly related to this aspect of reality. In a previous blog I highlighted these strange phenomena. More commonly than generally realised people meet or see at a distance an exact copy, a replica, of themselves; even down to the clothes being worn.

   

The following information was downloaded to my awareness in the middle of the night.

At the Solstice many people will change timelines, either permanently or for a short period. (Timelines are different levels of awareness functioning simultaneously with the current reality. Some may call them dimensions. Scientists now theorise that different dimensions exist.)

Humans move back and forth between timelines regularly but may not be aware that they are doing so. However humans exist in a primary timeline where most of our consciousness resides. If this were not the case humanity could not cope with the kaleidoscope of impressions that would impinge on consciousness from different timelines.

In spite of this likely move to a different primary timeline family units will maintain in the same reality given the karmic connections that were decided on before birth. If the karmic responsibilities have been completed at the solstice then connections will be rapidly terminated.

It may be puzzling that new people suddenly arrive in your lives or old friends and contacts suddenly depart. This is what happens at an energy change which this solstice signals.

Old illnesses and perspectives will drop away to be replaced by new opportunities. It is possible to navigate these changes with humour and resilience.

Have fun and enjoy the coming ride!

ASPECTS OF THE HUMAN CONDITION PART 1

ASPECTS OF THE HUMAN CONDITION PART 1

As the energies heighten in this quadrant of the universe and the much anticipated winter equinox 2012 approaches there are developing issues for humans.

Foe those of a spiritual and psychic disposition the issue of our antecedents and our human makeup are questioned. It seems to me that those that made us created beings that are of a particular genetic hue which, increasingly, have the ability to develop beyond the three dimensional form that we inhabit.

I have written before of my pre-human form as purely energetic co-operating with other similar beings. I have also written of my memory of first incarnation in a Cro-Magnon physical body. No doubt I volunteered to enter three-dimensional existence although I have no memory of such a momentous decision. I don’t have to remind the readers of the difficulties and challenges we experience in this reality. If one knew before hand of those issues one would face in the third dimension I wonder if we, as soul consciousnesses, would agree to enter psycho society.

However let’s not be negative for, as many say, we are about to enter a more peaceful and agreeable age after December 21^st, This, of course, remains to be seen. Much of the future is down to us to create. No-one is coming to rescue errant humanity in my view. No saviour will incarnate. No Alien presence will remove our problems. These issues and problems still be here after the anticipated energy shift. We must deal with them.

OK, enough preamble; let us examine some aspects of our humanity. We all have a reptilian brain encased in other elements. In my perspective those that made us started with this early brain and then built other aspects around it thus creating a potential consciousness that we have named hu-man.

The man already existed in early form as Cro-Magnon, Austalopithecus and other early experiments. The hu element was built in to exemplify those traits of societal organisation, compassion, intellectual attainment and development potential. From there on in the plan was that it was down to us.

What the planners did not anticipate was manipulation and control by outside forces which stripped the developing human consciousness of much self will and determination. Some mystics place this manipulation in the hands of off-planet forces that came here to rob and pillage humanity as well as the beautiful Earth.

One Toltec mystic called these interfering beings, the Allies. Although one could question quite how they were or are allied to us. Some reporters say that these parasitic beings are Reptilians and Alien in nature.

It is also alleged that these enemies of humanity have now been removed by those that are our Alien friends. There is no hard evidence to back up this supposition. I write the above as background to that which I now pursue.

One aspect of my marriage to my dear wife has always puzzled me. Here I am a mystic and student of the spiritual life married to a person who has little interest in the subject. It struck me this morning, as I prepared to write this piece that there is, indeed, a good reason for this partnership from a spiritual perspective. Being married to someone who is well grounded and living totally in the material and mental worlds has assisted me in staying grounded also. It has helped me to fullfill my role as a bridge between the material and spiritual worlds. Without that grounding I could not have done the work of the spirit very well. It is a requirement of the human to be in this world even if, as the Master Jesus is alleged to have said, it is best not to be part of it.

Alternative my personal Alien awareness has frequently impinged on this rational mind and human consciousness. Until now it has been necessary to keep it in the background.

A wonderful friend well versed in the spiritual life similarly has a partner less than interested in the deeper aspects of the inner world. Perhaps, in her case, this relationship has assisted her in developing her great social network and context with which she lives her spiritual life. In this way her intense fairy self has been kept in the background working subtly.

A mutual contact, a healer and psychic of great ability has not developed this enhanced social context which is now and will be greatly needed as the world rapidly changes. For I see a role as a communicator explaining changes in reality that are rapidly coming. When I meet with this healer I see an Alien presence struggling inside a human body.

I intend to write more concerning the human condition in Part 2.

I would greatly appreciate feedback.

WINTER EQUINOX 21/12/2012

Last year I wrote a blog concerning 2012 and the possible changes wrought within it, particularly at the winter equinox. It may be useful for those interested in the subject to review that blog before this one.

My guidance suggested that I prepare and post this blog around the spring equinox.

So what is the background to the supposed changes. According to some sources there will be an astronomical alignment on that day. The Sun, the Earth will line up with the centre of the galaxy. This will ’lock in’ the planets in our universe to the final and greatest inflow of energy. As stated in the previous blog there are cycles within cycles that will finish on this day. As Roy pointed out in the previous blog one of the universal cycles is 93 million years in length. I am not sure that this cycle is locked in to 2012. The Tzolk’in calendar is 26,000 years. There are other cycles of different lengths also finishing on this day. This includes one of 104,000 years. Does that mean that reality as we know it will collapse at that point; perhaps not? There are mystics who are suggesting a time lag between the alignment and profound changes to this environment and reality.

The following is information that I received from friends Julia and Ken.

I think there has been a lot of rubbish written about it (winter equinox 2012), a lot of it seems to be set on causing fear.

Luckily Kenny has a very good memory and he writes down and records a lot of the information that I give him.

Apparently last year I told him that the earth energy would be completed by February 2013.  I give these messages and completely let it go from my mind.  I've been told that this transition will be very beautiful and many people will be working positively with these powerful and beautiful energies.  There are many master souls and evolved beings carrying this work forward.  That many wonderful things would come into being.

I don't get any technical information - only the very basics.  So I hope what I've said will be helpful.

Obviously the earth planet is still dealing with and throwing off negative energies and karma, so there will still be so called traumas and atrocities happening throughout the world for some time longer.  But in the long run all I get is positivity and optimism for the future and Kenny and I look forward to it and our future work with great joy.

The following is a summary taken from a youtube piece by Japanese Princess Kaoru Nakamaru entitled ABOUT 2012 AND UNDERGROUND BASES OF THE ELITE AND INTO THE 5^TH DIMENSION.

When Earth goes through winter equinox 2012 there will be three days of complete darkness, no electricity, no mass media. The hidden government know this and plan to escape from the planet or by digging underground cities in Norway, Holland, Switzerland and Australia. About ten thousand people are planned to be saved by living there.

The princess doesn’t think that they will be saved. Humanity needs to purify its physical and spiritual condition in order to save itself. We (the ordinary humans) have the energy of God’s love in our hearts. Each human being has that beautiful part of the creator, our soul, that will re-incarnate. That is the internal life that we have inside.

In order to purify our soul, every five years or so, we can clarify and purify ourselves. As we do this our heart expands. Each time that we have the experience all the darkness goes out of our heart and golden light enters. Physically we can purify our body by never drinking canned juice or beer. Aluminium is harmful to our bodies. Some kind of exercise is also necessary. In essence each human being is light and love because we have put the creator in our hearts.

Since 1913 there has been a split between those that believe in spiritual matters and those that do not. The latter will re-incarnate on another planet.

If you feel fear concerning the three days and nights then you know what you have to work on. (A student of Dolores Cannon claims that we could sleep through the three days of darkness. For me this period is the birth experience of the re-born Earth. It is the passing along the birth canal of a new existence). Remember you are a spirit experiencing a body, not a body experiencing a spirit. Wake up so humanity can unite. It starts with you. We all live on the planet together.

Dark hearted people will be born on another Earth. They cannot incarnate into the 5^th dimension (that will be the Earths new reality)

Hypnotist and psychic Dolores Cannon believes that nothing will happen at the proposed shift.

My perspective is that there will be warning signs, some subtle some overt. Sensitive humans will feel the shift in energies. Indeed these changes are already apparent to many. For many the shift is already happening as far as awareness of energy is concerned. Other realms of existence on planet Earth and in the universe both physical and non-physical are and will be preparing for the shift. Preparing for these changes by going inward and meditating will help beings to align with new paradigms of energy, to new conditions of existence and new realizations.

Being in and assisting nature will be a beneficial way of aligning oneself with the new energies. The old material existence will pass away. Nothing that anyone does can retain it. Let it go. It no longer serves us. Welcome the inflow of the new. It has much to offer those that continue to incarnate on the re-born planet Earth.

Many beings, again both human and non-human will take the opportunity to pass over from the physical realm into that of so-called death. They will then prepare for a new incarnation.

The alter ego planet Earth that will take over the responsibility for the negative and non-awake persons must be a truly advanced being. To be prepared to absorb the heavy load of dark thoughts and actions is a great karmic act. Beings of light will incarnate with these souls in order to point the way to a way of being that will release them from the karmic cycle.

Be happy and fulfilled. This is your birthright.

WE'RE STILL NOT ALONE

Five years ago friend Pete Haines and I wrote a third book concerning my adventures and perspectives with inner and outer journeys. A little later our second book 'Maturity and Chi Gong' began to have modest success. Gloucestershire NHS had funded it and gave me work to promote it and work with community and health groups. My focus shifted away from our third text as the chi gong book took over more of my time and creative potential.

Lat summer my intuition whispered to me 'It is time to publish the third book' was its quiet message.

'Yeah, Yeah,' was my reply. 'I am still busy with chi gong'. I immediately forgot about our third book again.

Soon the whisperings returned.

'Yeah, Yeah. Later later,' was my, by now, slightly exasperated response. Back into forget mode did I go.

Within days I was woken at three in the morning. My guidance was, by now, insistent. It would not be denied.

As a person who loves his sleep I realised that I, perhaps, ought to listen this time and do as was suggested.

So I returned to this third text. Pete was now busy with foreign business interests so the work of preparation was down to me.

I 'dusted off' (metaphorically) the text and prepared it for editing, updating it and adding to it as more information came into consciousness. I was advised by a fellow 'crazy' that Choir Press in Gloucester was an efficient publishing house and so it proved as I handed over our 'baby' to their tender care.

'crazies' is the word used by wife Jaqueline for those people of a psychic and spiritual disposition not in the mainstream religious perspectives.

Friend and fellow 'crazy' Paul Hover said of the above story, The spiritual forces must want this book published in 2012, the year of the alleged great shift'.

So, the book, We're Still Not Alone' by Peter Haines and Clive Birch is now available on Amazon. I hope that those that decide to invest in a copy enjoy the read and find things therein that inspire and are thought provoking. Our first book 'So You Think We're Alone' created resonance with some people that was most unexpected to me. They saw and perceived elements in the book that was totally unexpected to me.

I write from inspiration so guidance from the powers of light must be an element within the context of Pete's and my humble words.

I will finish with a few few words concerning friend and co-writer Pete Haines. Without his vision, inspiration, writing skills and enthusiastic support none of these books would have been written. This is a man of great talent as well as psychic abilities.

Thank you Pete.

The following is the write-up on the back cover of the book.

The amazing and fascinating adventures of the self-confessed 'crazy man' continue. The tales are laced with humour and much fun. the fantastic travels range from the mountains and crags of the Languedoc, France through the mystical heartland of Brittany and finish in the dusty and chaotic heartland of Mexico. The haunting and ancient temples of Malta and Gozo thrill and excite. Birch's stories range from scary ghost stories, the use of magical symbols and words to little known inner secrets of blood and bones. These tales are truly transformational, different and mind openeingh for the sincere seeker of truth.

MAYAN NINE LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

I, and many others, have written extensively concerning 2012 and the upcoming potential changes to our reality. The truth is we don’t have a clue to the background of the momentous events about to enfold as we struggle with the concept from a western, linear, intellectual construct.

The Maya, on the other hand, have for thousands of past years anticipated the upcoming events. They did so from the background of their cyclical calendars that encompassed vast eons of time. They see themselves as the keepers of time as well as being the children of the stars. Their antecedents originate in the Pleiadian areas of the cosmos.

The Maya propose nine levels of consciousness exemplified in concrete terms by the nine platforms of the pyramid of Kukulcan, Chichen Itza, Mexico.

First Level             This began 16.4 billion years ago when the physical universe began. This is called the cellular level.

Second Level        This started 820 million years ago and is called the Mammalian cycle because its product was mammals.

Third Level            Commenced 41 million years ago and is called the family or familiar level. Consciousness of the family arose. Monkeys first appeared.

Fourth Level          This started 2 million years ago and began the tribal cycle.

Fifth Level             The cultural cycle began which started 102,000 years ago.

Sixth Level            The National consciousness began in 3115BC in Egypt.

Seventh Level        This started in 1715AD and is called the planetary cycle. This was the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

Eighth Level          Galactic Consciousness began on Jan 5 1999. There was an energetic shift upward in vibration every 360 days.

Ninth Level            The Universal level started on February 10 2011. This cycle is 260 days long in total.

Thus the nine levels are completed on October 28 2011.

Changes of consciousness will then occur every 20 days.

We are co-creators in this revolution.

This is not my work. I found it on Youtube in the video ‘2012 The Online Movie – The full movie’. It occurs about 45 to 50 minutes in to the video. I think it important to share it at this time.

Gregg Brescott says that on October 28 2011 there is an acceleration of creation. More and more of everything is available in every second. The acceleration is so great that everything is possible and happens at the same time. Consciousness and creation exist in total. All past and future exist right here.

To Paraphrase and ameliorate an ancient Chinese curse so that it becomes a blessing,

May we all live in interesting times.

Lots of Love

Clive

EARTH STRIKES BACK

It is a given in much of Western consciousness that the Earth is a piece of rock flying through the universe to be mined, drilled, utilised as a piece of real estate and generally abused as a resource for human needs.

Many mystics, me included, believe that the Earth is a living being with her own life plan and objectives. In addition the animal, vegetable, mineral and human kingdoms are a projection of Earth’s consciousness. Thus we humans, as a specie, and the other kingdoms owe our very existence to the beneficence of our terrestrial mother. Without her co-operation and, yes, love we would not be here.

Humanity, in the main, does not have the conscious awareness that they are not in charge. The Indigenous peoples have been aware throughout the centuries that our mother is beneficient as long as we do not abuse her. Many of their ceremonies are based around the premise of loving and giving thanks to her for our existence and sustenance.

So given the general perspective of superiority of man over the Earth and, thus the elements, the consciousness of man perceives existing in a straight line reality. Everything proceeds according to a human plan marching forward into the future. Nothing could be further from the truth. Reality works in a cyclical fashion repeating cause and effect on higher rungs of the spiral. Perhaps I will write further on this perspective later.

There is another factor to be considered. That is the law of Karma or cause and effect. Every action invites its opposite re-action in this third dimensional reality. This law of the universe works between kingdoms as well as between individual and groups of humans. So, let us consider recent some events.

Some time ago a TV nature commentator suffered a horrific death after being stung by Manta Ray while swimming. The strange thing about this sad death was that such an attack is practically unknown. These animals are not known to attack humans. I began to think and meditate on this strange and awful event. I remember that this person had made a successful TV career by manhandling crocodiles and snakes in a way to create a reaction from the viewing public.

 I saw these programs as an affront to nature although it was, most probably, exciting for much of the viewing public. It came to my intuition that the death was a karmic recompense for the, as I saw it, an affront to nature. I am not comfortable saying this. Any death is a sad loss to family and friends. However natural law will be fulfilled whatever our human perception is of such an event.

Let us examine a much larger natural event. An undersea earthquake near Japan caused a Tsunami and the death of thousands of people. Damage caused has been on a massive scale. Half a million people were living in temporary shelter; Apocalyptic. Again one must send heartfelt love and compassion to the Japanese people and the grieving families. The worst damage was caused around the seaports and inland areas around the North-East coast.

In an apparently unrelated event the Japanese have been catching and killing whales much to the opposition of the International community and, in my view, against Mother Earth. These catches, it is said, are for unspecified ‘scientific’ research. Now whales are not only intelligent and sentient mammals but are the holders of vital codes of information for humanity and Mother Earth. So are the unforgiveable deaths of whales, to mystics, connected to the terrible scenes from Japan recently? Is Mother Earth operating her own defence against the human attacks on her charges, the whales? The loss of life on both sides is appalling and difficult to comprehend.

After a meditation friend Joan told of European men married to Japanese women re-locating their families to Europe thus bringing the Oriental energy further into the west. In addition The Japanese authorities have been forced to call in support from abroad in order to begin to overcome the desperate Tsunami problems. Thus the mixing of cultures and energies continues apace. This can only be good for mutual understanding.

In a TV program, told to me by friend Mary, Japanese consumers were confronted by a Western reporter. They were asked about the source of their delicacy Shark fin soup. When informed that the Sharks were brutally slaughtered to provide the, to them,   delicacy those interviewed shrugged their shoulders saying that this had always been the case for hundreds of years. So, could it be argued that Nature was striking back through our Mother Earth in order to protect her specie?

In a subsequent meditation I was given two other pieces of information. First, that the disaster to the human population was an attempt by Mother Nature to open the emotions of the Japanese populations. Our Earth Mother needs humanity to be emotionally balanced for the coming times. After all humanity is the equivalent of a chakra of the Earth and is, therefore, necessary for her continuing evolution. I was informed during the meditation that this necessary change was taking place.

A few day after writing the above I received an e-mail from friend Paul Hover who received the following from a  Japanese Tsunami survivor.

Things here in Sendai have been rather surreal. But I am very blessed to have wonderful friends who are helping me a lot. Since my shack is even more worthy of that name, I am now staying at a friend's home. We share supplies like water, food and a kerosene heater. We sleep lined up in one room, eat by candlelight, share stories. It is warm, friendly, and beautiful.

During the day we help each other clean up the mess in our homes. People sit in their cars, looking at news on their navigation screens, or line up to get drinking water when a source is open. If someone has water running in their home, they put out a sign so people can come to fill up their jugs and buckets.

It's utterly amazingly that where I am there has been no looting, no pushing in lines. People leave their front door open, as it is safer when an earthquake strikes. People keep saying, "Oh, this is how it used to be in the old days when everyone helped one another."

IF the above is common experience then, indeed, the Japanese emotional psyche is opening up.

The second intuition centred on the unfolding nuclear disaster. I was informed intuitively that this disaster gave the Japanese the opportunity to become disenchanted with this toxic form of energy generation. Once set aside the powerful Japanese engineering abilities could then develop a threat free mode of energy generation. This was a gift to Japan from cosmic forces.

What I an arguing is that there needs to be a balance of give and take between Mother Earth and her kingdoms. This requirement for balance has always been in place. The Indigenous peoples know and have known this. We, the supposedly modern societies, have lost the knowledge and thus the will to maintain this balance. This will be to our future detriment as a race unless we reverse current attitudes.

So how do we reverse that which has been part of man’s psyche since the enlightenment? What we do is return to the wisdom of the ancients and the indigenous peoples. We honour Earth in meditation, in rational thought in our behaviour and in physical work with the planet; sounds easy doesn’t it? It is. After all it is the way that ancestors and indigenous have survived and prospered on our Mother Earth.  If we don’t change our ways then the inevitable decline of our society, which is well under way, will result in its demise. This will, in my view, be sooner rather than later. We can start to change as individuals. There is always something that can be done.

My intuition tells me that no disaster, cataclysm whether human or otherwise is fixed in time. If anyone tells you that ‘the end is nigh’ ignore them and work positively. You can and do make a difference. Start now. There is no time like the present. Our work with our Mother is akin to the way that DNA works. Our thoughts and actions change our DNA as we move through life. Our positive work with Mother Earth helps her and will change those cataclysms and troubles that would otherwise occur to an unconscious populace.

Those that would rule us will attempt to tell you differently. They will either say that nothing will happen and for us to carry on in the same old way or they will say that disaster cannot be avoided. Don’t listen to them. They are deluded or power hungry. Publicity of every difficult situation that humanity faces is constantly replayed through the electronic and paper media. It is in our remit, as humans, to be aware, to witness, to be compassionate and to help where possible. It is also important not to be permanently dragged into the drama of others. It can deflect us from our path towards our developing consciousness and that of Mother Earth. Those that would rule us would love to trap us in a constant frenzy of fear and stress.

On a related issue I was given a perspective connecting Earth to her neighbours the Moon and Sun. There are some that say the Moon is an artificial construct and was placed in orbit around the Earth. I know not if this is true or not. The information that I was given in meditation relates to the function of reflection.

This is an important function of our consciousness and was a gift to humanity as a result of the interaction of Mother Earth and the Moon and the Sun. Now the key element in this interaction is the energetic process which results from the Moon reflecting the light of the Sun to the Earth and thus humanity. Also the Moon reflects back the light of the Earth back to the Earth. Without the Moon creating this energy matrix we humans would not possess this wonderful function of consciousness. So we can see how important the heavenly bodies are in our continuing developing consciousness.

Friend Doug sent the following.

Do you think the horrific disaster in Japan is due to

1. The natural forces of the earth settling or
2. The earth reacting to the abuse it has endured for millenia - 
enough is enough sort of thing

If 2 then

1. is the earth ITSELF sensitive and conscious or
2. is it under the influence of a Consciousness that controls the Universe

If 2 then

1. is the purely materialistic godlessness attracting retribution
2. If so would a spiritual return on the part of the people of Japan 
AS A WHOLE attract vibrations of protection and a quelling of such 
horrific disasters.

What do you think out there, consciousnesses linked to the electronic matrix? Your views and perspectives are at least as important as those of Doug and me. I would really like to hear from you.

2012

A SPECIAL YEAR OR IS IT ALL HYPE?

Tthe debate as to whether there will be major changes to Earth and Humanity at the winter Equinox 2012 rages on among mystically minded people. It has now entered the consciousness of the general public through the media and films such as 2012.

I had pretty much put the issue out of my mind until I received the following e-mail from friend Roy.

 I am becoming aware that more and more people studying mysticism and spirituality are taking the subject of 2012 seriously.  Whereas a lot of silly things are being said about it I have actually found astronomical (not astrological) evidence for it.  Have you had any inner spiritual guidance on this subject matter?

I thought about Roy’s question and replied. The following is the basis of that reply and some extra, subsequent perspectives

For me the idea is exemplified in the rise of energies both cosmic and those of the Earth. These rising energies are creating enhanced vibrational conditions for humanity should individuals care to embrace them. In addition social, political and religious structures tied to the old energies are falling apart. This is particularly so where these structures and thought patterns do not take account of those opportunities for change created by the enhanced energies.

Mystics and seers do not know if there is an end date for the possible changes to humanity and the planet to become fully manifest. Drunvalo Melchizedek believes that the full effects will not take place until February 2013. Chris Thomas believes that there is a window of change between October 2011 and December 21st 2012. Don Alejandro, head Maya priest in Guatemala, on his website, is now saying also that a window of change opened in 2007 and could terminate in 2015. He obviously has changed his position because he told me and others in 1999 that the end date was December 21st 2012.

 Don Alejandro had spoken powerfully of the Earth changes at the end of the Mayan calendar. The Mayan calendar is a complex system of interlocking elements. Understanding requires years of study. It is 26,000 years in length and ends on 21^st December 2012. By this date, great changes to the Earth are forecast by many commentators, including the Mayans

The truth is that no-one really knows for sure what will happen. My intuitions are telling me that we are now in the changes; that the old reality is going fast. For me it is a sliding scale of change. One only has to look at the sudden uprisings in the Middle East and the failing financial system to be aware of what is happening. Unfortunately there are negative perspectives such as the terrible tragedy of the Japanese earthquake. The Earth is stretching itself into a new paradigm.

Even the religionists are getting in on the act. I saw a huge motorway billboard display when traveling in the US two years ago. This claimed that Dec 21st 2012 was now a religious event and the saviour would arrive on that date! Many people are keeping their options open. Personally I don’t believe anyone is coming to rescue us whether it is a religious person or Alien as others are claiming. This is our responsibility to see through changes, you, me and everyone else. No-one is coming to ‘save us’. We live on a free will planet. This free will is ours to exercise

The Maya seem pretty relaxed about the whole thing. Don Alejandro and others say that this is only one cycle that will terminate or is terminating. There are cycles within cycles, according to Maya beliefs, that are coming to an end. So hang on to your hats!

If I was to believe anyone outside my own intuition I would go for Don Alejandro. One only has to look into his eyes to see that he is a great soul and of wonderful insight. Many others are deluded and power hungry. I hasten to add that this does not apply to any others quoted in this piece.

Roy followed up with his perceptions later

Our galaxy has a diameter of 100,000 light years and an average thickness accross the spiral arms of 100 light years.  In other words the thickness is only one hundreth of the diameter.  Most astro-physisists are agreed that in 2012 the solar system cannot come into alignment with the centre of the galaxy as it has NEVER BEEN OUT OF ALIGNMENT WITH SUCH.  In my last communication I did state that as the solar system travels around the galactic centre once every 250 million years it does not do so in a flat plane, in alignment with the galaxy's equatorial plane, but has a slight wobble up and down. 

 I did speculate earlier as to whether the peiodicity of cutting through the equator ( above - then down and through - below then up to starting point) could be related to a periodicity of a Precessional Age of 2160 years.  But I have since found astronomical evidence that the periodicity is about 2.7 times in one circuit of 250 million years, in other words, 93 million years!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would seem that the supposed alignment with the galactic centre is another one of those New Age Spirituality money-making ruses.

That does not mean that there are no changes taking place.  The period of overlap between the in-comming Aquarian Age and outgoing Piscean Age is 36 years.  There are 3 x 12 in 36.  Add another 12 and you get 2012 ( the overlap was between 1964 and 2000 - coincidence- nothing to do with the millenium!).    Major changes are currently taking place in the Planetary consciousness and will continue through 2012 into 2013.  These are now affecting everything on the planet on a physical, etheric, and spiritual level, and are demanding that we heal ourselves and raise our consciousness in line with such.

My sense concerning the alignment with the centre of the galaxy is this. Planetary beings are sentient as is the energy at the centre of the galaxy. I believe that we are being pulsed with energies from this source. This energy is consciously directed.

There is another postulation that I read on the Internet recently that the demise of the Dinosours and other great changes was due to the disruption caused at the end of previous cycles. Thereafter mammals spontaneously were birthed by mother Earth from her new consciousness.

I believe that friend Margaret has a point when she claims that the changes, whatever they are, will take place over several decades. The awareness of humanity could take that long to grasp that we are in a different energy pattern viz a viz the universe.

It also seems to me that all this activity and focus around 2012 is a metaphor for changes within the human psyche. In that case the date may be irrelevant. What matters is that humanity is changing itself at the level of the mass consciousness which will then filter to the individual human. A major feature concerning  this time is that the changes are accelerating.

Joseph Robert Jochmans said on the Internet

. "Both the Hopis and Mayans recognize that we are approaching the end of a World Age... In both cases, however, the Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same theme can be found reflected in the prophecies of many other Native American visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear."

Carl Johan Calleman (Ph.D) wrote the following.

"Many people have an intuitive sense that the end of the Mayan calendar will bring a shift in consciousness. Yet, it is rarely clearly stated or explained exactly what is the source of such a shift, how it will happen or what would be its nature? Maybe however shifts in consciousness are actually a little less mysterious than many people tend to believe. In fact, shifts in consciousness have been happening from the beginning of time and continue to happen whenever there is a significant energy shift in the Mayan calendar, such as between any of its days and nights. Despite all these previous shifts in cosmic history, I feel however that there is something very special and significant with the new consciousness that may be expected to be generated by the ninth(?) wave."

"For this event to be successful in generating the intention for the shift to the consciousness of the ninth wave a massive participation in it will be desirable also at preparatory stages. The preparatory efforts have to be shared by the millions that intend for a shift in consciousness to take place. To bring it about a collective effort will thus be needed and already making a choice to participate is part of creating the intention that has been discussed here. Initially, there will be a great need for people to take initiatives to disseminate the call for the Conscious Convergence around the world. It is important to approach organizations to have them embrace it. Then there will be the need for people to make their unique contributions known through public web sites, social media and other networks."

For those interested in this subject there are as many perspectives as there are enquirers. For me not only is the Earth and humanity involved but also the other kingdoms on this planet. The animal vegetable and mineral kingdoms may be ahead of humanity in preparing for and coping with potential change. We wrote concerning changes to the animal kingdom in our book ‘So You Think We’re Alone’.  The mineral kingdom is part of the earth and therefore uniquely tied into her consciousness.

As far as the vegetable kingdom is concerned I share an interesting story. A contact of friend Mary Fitzgerald tells of her work that she used to do of conscious alignment with trees. Recently she approached some trees at the normal time in the year for her work. She was communicated with by the trees telling her in a most direct way that her contact was no longer required. The trees were on their own path working through their own development.

There are those that say humanity will be leaving the planet or will ascend to a new dimension free of the physical body. I believe these views to be erroneous. I don’t see us as humans going anywhere. Earth is our home and our mother. Whatever changes to human consciousness manifest we will still be here. After all there is nowhere else to go. It is important to stay grounded, confident and fear free in the coming months and years.

The film 2012 was one attempt, among others, to label the upcoming changes with fear. Don’t buy into it. There are those that would rule us that want humanity to be fearful and to look to moribund authority for comfort. This is yet another attempt to continue the enslavement of the human psyche. It is important to be positive concerning the future to be filled with confidence. We are making the new reality by our conscious efforts, The Earth responds to its human charges with love. We can and we are making a difference.

So, what will happen on the, allegedly, fateful day, perhaps something perhaps nothing. I tend towards the something school of thought. Why so? because we are already making a difference by our meditations, thoughts, words and actions. The Earth will respond to the positivity or otherwise of her human children. We can reduce the birth pangs of  Earth’s new being.

For those further interested in the Mayan calendar much information can be found on the Internet.
