THE AQUARIAN SHIFT means... I can't get out of bed. Can't get my dreams out of my sleepy head. I open up my eyes and wonder where you are. And soon I realize that you're not real. And I am. In between a day and dream, life and death are a lazy, crazy stream. I go against the stream. But that, too, is part of the dream. Hello, goodbye, you shifting, starlit screen! I try to seal my mind and get back to where you were. You were that perfect kind. I'm floating down again. And my world is a syrup waterfall. I can't remember when. Or where. Or why. Where is my enlightenment? The world does not shift (revolve, evolve) without a revolution.
The Age of Aquarius is when peace will guide the planet and love will steer the stars.
(Oct. 7, 2011) The banker backlash in the United States is spreading, with major rallies held in the capital, Los Angeles, and other cities. Thousands have joined to express their distress at economic inequalities, war spending, environmental degradation, and high unemployment.
The peace demonstrations began last month when protesters started pitching tents in front of the New York Stock Exchange under the banner "Occupy Wall Street." Heavy-handed police, given financial donations by the banks, were filmed using batons and pepper spray to violently disperse the demonstrators.
The aftermath of years of financial strife is causing people's hope and patience to run out. And they are upset at the banks (foreclosing on homeowners after cheating them with dishonest loans, a credit crisis, and constantly draining the economy with welfare bail outs) for triggering the strife in the first place. Journalists reporting on the campaign, themselves unconstitutionally subjected to arrest and harassment, say the protesters will continue demanding social and economic justice.
(HowStuffWorks) Thousands of people across the globe believe the world will end in 2012 -- but why? The beliefs of 2012 fans, from interpretations of the ancient Mayan calendar to concerns over irregular sunspot cycles and solar storms, spell new hope for humanity or doom of biblical proportions.
Doom is the end of the world. Doom is death and destruction. Doom, we can't get enough of it. Why are we obsessed? It may be fear of death the forces us to pay attention. It may be relief -- we need another "failed" prediction to bolster our sense that no one will ever predict anything. No one has seen anything. No one knows anything. We're safe.
We are safe. But as we sleep in safety, are we ignoring the doom all around us? The Buddha's final words as he exited this samsara (the round of death followed incessantly by rebirth) were:
All conditioned phenomena are hurtling toward destruction; work out your liberation with diligence.
Translators may tweak the tone or sentiment of these words. Yet the message is incontrovertible. Things fall apart. They are always falling apart. That is the nature of "things" (all that arises supported by causes and conditions, which is everything with the sole exception of nirvana). Release from this, freedom from this, liberation from this is knowing and seeing nirvana.
Mahayana Buddhism popularizes a confusing notion, "samsara is nirvana," a dangerous witticism on par with "If you meet a buddha on the road, kill him."These are odd ways to say simple things. This is not nirvana. It can be. Nirvana is not elsewhere. But we have not realized that liberation. The belief that we have does not bring us closer to it.
And if a paradoxical Zen instruction says reject authority because we have that in us, great. But to "kill" (utterly disregard, denounce, silence) a guide who points out the way? That is like rejecting a prison door labelled EXIT and deciding, "I'll just keep looking for myself."
Buddhas point the way.
There is precious little time for us on this plane, so fortunate to hear the path to freedom from all suffering. We go from here onto other states, only very rarely coming back. It is not likely that we will hear this message again for a long time. We ourselves are conditioned phenomena, and everything (material form, sensations, perceptions, formations, and consciousness) in us that we regard as us is hurtling toward destruction.
The Buddha (teacher) is a guide. The Dharma (teaching) is a guide. The Sangha (those who have successfully followed the path) collectively is a guide. The path does not simply lead to nirvana, final emancipation. It leads to all good states along the way. If one should wish to be reborn in one of the many heavens (states superior to the human in terms of longevity, beauty, pleasure, radiance, etc.) that is available by the path of serenity and insight, concentration and mindfulness, stilling and seeing.
The Maya or Mayans knew one thing for sure. The Ages change. And this one is coming to an end. As of today, or perhaps December 21, 2012, we transition from one to another. This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
There is great astronomical and astrological significance in this. But few of us now regard the significance of astronomy in our lives, and astrology has been made a pop media joke. There is significance. We are separate from space. We are in space. This is a space world. It is visited by other space worlds. It is influenced and influences other space worlds.
The Maya were told that and taught various calendars and synchronaries. The days of the week, the phases of the Moon (which is the Earth's timepiece once so valuable to everything we did that the powers that be -- other space or subterranean entities -- could not stand for it and obscured it as evil and replaced it with worship of the Sun, which also was always important), the days to undertake an endeavor.
We laugh. How naive of our forest-dwelling forbears who somehow built monoliths and observatories, pyramids and spiritual centers (all with aid from above). Never mind that all over the world similar groups did the same thing, from Egypt to Cambodia, from Sumeria to India, from Easter Island to Stonehenge, from unknown site to unknown site. These sites are everywhere.
The world will end, guaranteed.
But it will spring up again. That is certain.
If we fear change, we will always live in fear, because change is the only constant.
What can we do?
We suggest we work out our liberation (salvation, emancipation, improvement) with diligence. We'll see you in heaven, in paradise, in good states supported by the profitable karma willed, performed, and accumulated right NOW. And for a few all praise is due, who confirmed that it is possible right here, right now, in this very life: Nirvana is visible within samsara. They are not the same thing.
Rick Fields' book will remain as the first attempt to document the Buddhist movement in America. There are approximately eight hundred persons and places named in the book, from Shakyamuni, who started it all, through to the Tibetans, Koreans, Vietnamese, Japanese, Sinhalese, Chinese, and a plethora of Westerners. It's a fascinating story full of eccentric characters, good intentions, and unstinting effort....Buddhism's migration to the new lands....
All around the planet hundreds of millions of people are waiting for events to unfold in 2012. Many believe these events will bring either the birth of a harmonious new reality as the Age changes. Is it the dawning of the Age of Aquarius or the end of the world?
But what if those events were actually taking place THIS YEAR, 2011?
The new film "The Quickening" explains why so many people have been experiencing the sensation that "time is speeding up," particularly since the earthquake in Japan.
It shows the research that indicates that this accelerated experience of reality could peak sometime around October 28th, 2011, culminating in a global experience of unity consciousness, leading to the experience of a harmonious new way of being in the world.
The movie also looks at unfolding events directly relating to Hopi and Mayan prophecies. These indicate that we are on the cusp of great changes that mark the shifting of the Age and the birth of a new world.
2012 AND BEYOND Never before have so many peoples, cultures, religions (and their monuments and messages) been brought together in a chorus of wisdom, enlightenment, and ascension. Aztecs, Buddhists (Morton claims to have lived and trained with Nepalese Buddhists in the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition), Egyptians, Mayans, and the Bible all converge in a grand concordance of information. Their collective message speaks of “fantastic and amazing changes” in the way(s) we think and live. As we move through a “stargate” in this “Age of Wonders,” there is peril and potential.
Comets, Crop Circles, Collective Collapse, and the End of Time
Sean David Morton's message (Wisdom Quarterly) We are hurtling into the winds of a perfect storm. Astronomical [and astrological], economic, cometary, and Mayan calendar alignments could either doom us all or elevate us into a fabulous new way of living.
But the super technology of a small global elite (a Shadow Government composed of bankers, industry, corporate entities, paid scientists, and secret military that rules over our elected government) has triggered massive Earth changes.
This shadowy force has altered the physical and magnetic poles of the Earth. Given its choice (and taking into consideration the unrecognized effects of exopolitics), will we be saved from certain doom or reduced in number to 500 million people?
The world financial crisis is not accidental.
We must explore predictions about solar cycles, Elenin, the Red Star Kachina, and stunning new discoveries relating to the 2012 alignment of the Great Pyramids of Giza. More comets are coming at us. Crop circles have predictions embedded in them.
NO PREDICTION HAS TO COME TRUE. "Prediction" (or "prophecy" in the sense Gregg Braden uses it) is about potential events and doing something to choose another way.
Exopolitics deals with the biggest secret of all.
The end of TIME is not the end of the world, just the world as we know it. We soon come to the end of an age. We may already be there. Social and cultural change do not happen overnight.
The way we live our lives depends on us. More greed, hatred/fear, delusion? Or mutual caring, peace, and wisdom?

A number of academic archaeology textbooks rudely dismiss [America's most famous psychic] Edgar Cayce’s pronouncements about ancient history. Cayce was, to them, a “cult archaeologist” -- unworthy of further investigation.
...Despite the claims of archaeologists, the history of ancient America put forth in Edgar Cayce’s readings has never been tested. Edgar Cayce, America’s famous “Sleeping Prophet,” gave 68 “psychic readings” between 1925 to 1944 that provided information on America’s Mound Builders and ancient American history.
These readings have never been thoroughly analyzed and have been largely forgotten. For the first time, Cayce’s statements about ancient America are genuinely compared to current archaeological evidence.
The authors relate that they began with a skeptical point of view but the weight of the evidence eventually showed Cayce’s accuracy. Incredibly, nearly everything Cayce related about the Mound Builders and the patterns of migrations to ancient America is true.
Since 1997, a series of astounding developments have shattered American archaeology’s most cherished beliefs. Excavations have uncovered solid evidence that ancient America was probably settled at least 50,000 years ago.
Genetic evidence shows that several waves of migrations came into America from not only Siberia, but also from Polynesia, China, and Japan.
A mysterious genetic type has been identified in ancient American skeletal remains as well as in some modern Native Americans. This enigmatic type is also linked to Israel, parts of Spain, France, Italy, and the northern Gobi Desert. It may well have originated in a location between America and Europe. This genetic type entered America in about 10,000 B.C. and could be the result of migrations from the mythical land of Atlantis.
Another genetic type could be from the mythical land of Mu. More
2012 North Pole Expedition Brooks Agnew Ph.D. discussed possible cataclysms that may occur around 2012. And he offered an update on his planned North Pole Inner Earth Expedition.
The current timetable is to embark on the expedition in August 2009, traveling to the Arctic region aboard a nuclear powered icebreaker. A helicopter and ship stored in the icebreaker will be used to advance scout for the opening reported in the gradual curvature of the crust, he detailed.
Agnew said ancient Mesoamericans described visits from the "Shining Ones" (the literal translation of Buddhist devas) -- possible ETs, who may have imparted knowledge of astronomy, architecture, and agricultural practices.
One of the Mayans' complex calendrical systems ends in 2012, coinciding with the Earth aligning with a black hole in the center of the galaxy, Brooks outlined. This positioning will cause planets to heat up in the solar system, potentially wreaking havoc with our climate, he said.
A pole shift could take place within a short time period -- three to five days. And the reversal of northern and southern hemispheric patterns could set up a "global superstorm," with 300 mph winds lasting up to a month, Agnew warned. More at Disclose.TV
Carl Johan Calleman* The Ninth wave of the Mayan calendar showing: (a) closest distance to Honda,(b) Elenin between Earth and Sun, (c) closest distance to Elenin.
Mayan calendar end on October 28, 2011 Elenin and Honda fulfill Mayan, Hopi, and Christian Prophecies Many have heard of the upcoming entry in our inner solar system of the comet Elenin. There is a range of ideas and speculations about what this entails. Comets have always been seen as harbingers of auspicious or ominous tidings.
Ideas have been suggested that it is in fact a brown dwarf star or even a massive spacecraft, whose entrance is causing earthquakes on the planet. Regardless, in the fall, two comets (Honda and Elenin, to be followed by Levy), will arrive creating a sequence of celestial bodies in the skies.
The comet Elenin, which has received the greatest attention, is estimated to be closest to Earth from October 16 to 20, 2011. This is close to the midpoint of the seventh day of the Ninth wave (or Universal Underworld) in terms of the Mayan calendar.
This is right before the true 13 Ahau culmination date of the Mayan calendar (October 28, 2011). In spite of the specific nature of the comet and its role, it is an End Time phenomenon. The comets will arrive against the background of deepening global political and economic chaos produced because world institutions are inconsistent with the incoming "unity consciousness" of the Ninth wave.
This demands a study of how Elenin is related to various End Time prophecies. In The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness (2004) I wrote:
“At least some minor earth changes may thus result from the high frequency change in consciousness that we are now undergoing. But the reversal of cause and effect to generate a doomsday view where such earth changes are presented as the very purpose of creation is untenable. Any possible physical effects should be seen only as by-products of the consciousness field, and most climatic change will still probably be caused by carbon dioxide emissions rather than some purported insidious divine plan for the destruction of the earth through geophysical changes.” More
*Calleman is the author of Solving the Greatest Mystery of Our Time: The Mayan Calendar (Garev 2001), The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness (Bear and Co, 2004), and The Purposeful Universe (Bear and Co, 2009)
In this amazing talk framed in terms of Mayan calendar prophecy, a talk also given at the October 2010 Conscious Life Expo, Sean David Morton makes sense of what is really going on.
Some ideas may sound so outlandish as to put mainstream listeners off until these ideas are combined with irrefutable facts: Much of what Morton was saying in 2009 that was unbelievable then has already come true!
The rest of what he is saying, therefore, becomes more believable. He is not giving breaking news on specifics (that was already done by others, and each key term such as "FEMA camp" or "Promise 2 software" can be fruitfully explored with any browser).
He is tying together an incredible array of specifics from a spiritual perspective, as contrasted with the scientific perspective provided by his co-presenter in another talk.
It's not clear how this "settles" anything. It might have been better to convincingly answer why it was so hard to produce this evidence until now, or to explain why millions of dollars were spent on behalf of Obama to cover his history and paper trail. Try to interview anyone or to follow his meteoric rise from a poor school in Hawaii to Harvard. The best explanation was provided by Dave Emory, suggesting that Obama was groomed for many years by clandestine services and installed.
How does providing a government document from a corrupt government prove anything? After all, how hard is it for the CIA to produce the necessary documents to prove anything they want? Spy organizations do it all the time. The fix is in, and it has been for years.
They already pulled strings to make him a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Never mind that he abandoned his campaign promises to pull out of Afghanistan and close the US torture facility/prison at Guantanamo. Far from becoming more peaceful since being crowned a Nobel Peace laureate, he has orchestrated more war and causes of war:
launching drones to attack Pakistan
fomenting dissent in the geopolitical Middle East, particularly Iran, abusing the executive office just like Bush to depose Libyan leader Qaddafi while saying the goal was not remove him from office then saying that was the goal, and claiming there would be no "boots on the ground" when in fact he had already signed an order to put CIA agents' boots on Libyan ground
pouring billions into war on Iraq
pouring even more money into war on Afghanistan
growing the deficit (our national debt)
spying on Americans
continuing funding on all the secret or "black" budget operations engaged in by the Pentagon and the military-industrial complex
sinking the US dollar
promoting nuclear power even after Japan.
Obama has backed more corporate exploits and has successfully done more to further Bush administration policies than a President Dick Cheney ever could have.
Pres. Obama may not, legally speaking, be president of the United States as we know it. But, according to investigator and analyst Sean David Morton, he is president of the Corporation of the United States (US, Inc.). According to investigator and analyst Sean David Morton, that is why he "fumbled" the public oath of office and then did a re-do in closed chambers. There was no chance the Donald Trump was going to depose the possible future leader of the unfree world, a world-president.
What this public display between Birthers and Apologists reveals is amazing: It is not Republicans vs. the USA, nor is it Democrats vs. the USA. Both parties are partly in collusion and partly in the dark.
There is a "shadowy government" (Sen. Inouye) and a "military-industrial complex" (Pres. Einsenhower) that makes the decisions regardless of whether a Democrat or a Republican is in office.
They select who holds office, then they tell them what to say not by force but through advisers and pulling the strings of the media, industry, banking, and clandestine services (American spying agencies).
The hope that by voting for "change" we'll get actual change is revealed as a fantasy.
We're lucky to have a handsome, thoughtful, well-spoken fraud in Barack "Barry Soetoro" Obama.
What will we be offered as an "alternative" in 2012, a Sarah Palin/Donald Trump ticket? The bottom line is, We don't need a third party. We need a second one.
The Mayan calendar is used as a template to explain what will happen in the US -- banking crisis, debt, war, "natural" disasters, second coming, Barack Obama (born in Africa, made president of the US, Inc. ), FEMA camps, astrological chart, Quetzecoatl, and so much more.
(LINK) Why do people believe and fear the Mayan calendar's "end" when they will not give the Mayan "creation" the time of day? Genetic manipulation, the great flood, warring extraterrestrial factions, the "Gods" killing off humans wholesale, it's all there in the indigenous Popol Vuh or Mayan creation myth, a campfire version of Earth history.
Just as the Maya postulated an end date, an explanation was given for the beginning. Even before Mesoamerica, ancient India explained the origins of the universe.
The Mesoamerican Maya (aka Mayans) had a great deal of advanced technical knowledge. They used it to build an extremely sophisticated civilization. Their empire expanded in a man made paradise, an extremely fertile jungle. The nagas (feathered serpents, flying dragons, Draco star system beings) who aided them also filled them with a preoccupation with the stars, astrology, and the cycles of time and what these cycles would mean for future generations. The Mayan Calendar states that a new age will begin on December 21, 2012. The date has been disputed since we are not living on Mayan time and have had to transliterate their information to our own Gregorian chronology.
Their architectural feats are unmatched today. We would not be able to build what a culture with no power tools or heavy equipment was able to build with apparent ease. But the Maya were not alone in these feats. Evidence of similar accomplishments are found around the world -- most of them hidden due to a phenomenon known as "forbidden archeology."
This states that what does not make sense according to prestigious and established theories of how cultures evolved, from lower and more primitive to higher and more "modern," are rejected out of hand. One will be drummed out of the field for attempting or speculating something that contradicts current thinking. Such is the state of "unbiased" science and academic politics. The truth may eventually win out, but it would have won out much sooner had it not been hampered by obstacles that have nothing to do with the science.
The world is familiar with the magnificent Stone Age ruins in Buddhist Cambodia (Khmer empire), but we argue about the date choosing to believe the official royal histories of self-aggrandizing kings who claim construction to forward the notion that they were omnipotent. Stonehenge is also widely recognized as nearly impossible to explain (less well known being nearby complexes and burial mounds, not to mention similar sites found even in America).
The exact same thing has happened in Egypt, where pharaohs tore down statues of former rulers, erected their own, and claimed larger (much more ancient) monuments a result of their efforts. It worked. Those rulers basked in the glory of inherited sites too grand to be comprehended even in their time and all the more in ours. Zahi Hawass (Egypt's own Indiana Jones, a megalomaniacal Head of Antiquities, who has now been given a prison sentence for his ongoing outrages) ignores egyptologists and any alternative theories, as if to hide the truth to promote his own opinions.
Less well known are many underwater structures kept hidden, such as those photographed by deep water submersibles and those found in and around India, which has a mythological basis for them but very little formal research funding. Why? Governmental and extra-governmental (military-industrial complex) agencies do not want these widely known.
This brings us back to the Maya and the Mayan calendar. Their sophisticated understanding of time, history, and cyclical ages was not their own. It was handed to them from "on high," as it were, through visitations. We mask it in religious terms because that makes sense to those familiar with Judeo-Christian mythologies. But there is very little spirituality around this, except for the advances advanced civilizations (who have visited this planet) seem to exhibit as part of the evolution of any sophisticated culture. ETs are capable of things we would call miraculous, not only with their machines but in terms of their own organic abilities -- telecommunication, telekinesis, cloaking/invisibility, healing, and so on.
Being so intelligent and advanced, capable of genetic manipulation and war, they had much to say about time. What then did they say about the past, our origins, our creation? Mayan creation myths should be as popular a subject as their scatological myths: "2012, the end of the world." They never said such things, but that's what we hear. Their year 2012 merely marks a 26,000 year cycle that is the end of an age. The world will change. The world has already radically shifted in a relatively short period. Expect more, but the drama of obvious difference on December 22, 2012 is misguided.
Quetzalcoatl will return. A new planet will be announced (not "discovered" since it is already known an in view) in our solar system, and revelations will be made (but not the biblical doom and gloom). That disclosure is taking place even now. India knew thousands of years ago because devas had told humankind, and the Vedas record that knowledge. Sumerians were told. Every great culture that became an empire was told. Only we have been kept in the dark. But even we had the mythology and scripture discussing it. Science liberated us (by rejecting interpretations and editing of sacred texts), and science enslaved us when it was co-opted by powers who saw how easy it was to manipulate by funding and public relations campaigns.
The Vedas explained in very general terms how things began (animation starts at 2:03)
