2012 Human Kind at a Crossroads

2012:
HUMANKIND
AT A CROSSROADS
A Call to Action

Lauren Tratar

Undoubtedly, you have heard much about 2012, cataclysm and ‗end
times.‘ However, one crucial piece of this story has been omitted:
Ancient secret knowledge was destined to be unveiled at this
precarious point in our evolution so that we, as humankind, had the
tools to resolve the myriad challenges we are now facing and to
create a promising future.
However, even though this knowledge is being revealed right now,
an unsuspecting insidious power seeks to block our progress and
derail our efforts: our own resistance to explore what lies outside of
our comfort zones.

Past civilizations also reached the same evolutionary crossroads
we find ourselves at today but ended in cataclysm.
Seeking to alert our civilization to the deeper meaning behind
this galactic juncture, they left countless monuments, manuscripts
and essential advanced knowledge so that we could utilize this
unprecedented opportunity as it was intended:
to move into the next stage of evolution.
The task of resolving our issues and creating a hopeful future
may seem Herculean, yet it is indeed within our reach.
To learn more, view this presentation.

Our mission is to inspire and empower others to live life as a
magical experience. By simplifying ageless wisdom into practical
tools and techniques, we (An Alliance of Angels) intend to
improve the quality of life, alleviate unnecessary pain and
simultaneously, recreate our world!”
From my heart to yours,
Lauren

―Evolution made civilization steward of this planet. One hundred
thousand years later, the steward stood before evolution, not
healer, but parasite — a gifted society in so many ways, trapped
at last by greed and lack of vision. It ravaged the forests into
desert, consumed the soul of the land in mine-pits and waste,
smothered its air and its oceans, sterilized the earth with
radiation and poisons. A million million chances it had to
change, but it would not. From the ground it dug luxury for a
few, jobs for the rest, and graves for the children of all. In the
end, the children didn‘t agree, but the children had come too late.
How could a civilization have been so blind?‖

That, friends, is an excerpt from
a novel entitled ‗One‘ by Richard
Bach. It describes one possible
future for mankind — a future
some believe to be the most
probable future.

But I am about to present
compelling evidence which
proclaims that you and I have
both the power and
responsibility to change that
future.

Thousands of years ago numerous ancient civilizations all over
this planet — not geographically close to one another — took
great pains to communicate what they deemed to be essential
information for those of us living from 1987-2012.

They spoke of this 25 year period as a
major milestone in the evolution of mankind –
a time where we would have the opportunity
to birth the next stage of evolution.

However, unlike milestones of the
past that occurred subtly and
gradually beneath the surface of
everyday life, this one is different.

To gain admittance into this next stage,
we first must pass a test…

During this era, crises, conflicts, and great upheavals were
destined to occur. As we attempted to resolve these crises using
our current methods — predominantly power and force — we
would ultimately hit a brick wall for those methods would no
longer be effective.

At that point we, as
humankind, would
stand at a crossroads,
where we would be
called upon to alter
the course we are now
on, resolve our issues
in a different manner
and consciously
choose our future.

―For millennia, humankind has wandered in darkness… but now
there is a change coming. After hurtling blindly through history,
mankind has reached a crossroads. This moment was predicted long
ago, prophesied by ancient texts, medieval calendars, by the stars
themselves. The date was specific, its arrival imminent, and
preceded by a brilliant explosion of knowledge, a flash of clarity to
illuminate the darkness and give mankind a final chance to veer
away from the abyss and take the path of wisdom.
Our destiny is to light this torch of wisdom.‖
— Dan Brown - The Lost Symbol

―‗Open your eyes,‘ they were saying, ‗there is more.‘ More depth,
height, dimension, perspectives, choices than we have ever
imagined... Throughout history there were lone individuals here and
there, or small bands at the fringes of science or religion, who,
based on their own experiences, believed that people might
someday transcend narrow ‗normal‘ consciousness and reverse the
brutality and alienation of the human condition. They celebrated the
freedom found in the larger context and warned of the dangerous
blindness of the prevailing view. Long before global war, ecological
stress, and nuclear crisis struck, they feared for the future of a
people without a context. Although they themselves moved beyond
the dominant ideas of their day, they carried few of their
contemporaries with them. Most often they were misunderstood,
lonely, even ostracized.... Their ideas, however, served as fuel for
future generations.‖
— Marilyn Ferguson
The Aquarian Conspiracy

What are we opening our eyes to?
How might we light this torch of wisdom and create our future?

What You Can Do at This Critical
Moment in History to Ensure a
Promising Future

―This knowledge
is poised to open
a new door of
understanding
and once the
door is cracked,
it is only a
matter of time
before everything
changes.”

— DAN BROWN

The information I am about to reveal is going to challenge what you
thought you understood about the world and life itself. This will then
trigger a natural instinctive response within you to reject what
contradicts what you have been taught.

What you have been taught has created your belief system which has,
in turn, created your comfort zone, and your mind/ego has the job of
guarding that comfort zone. In fact, your ego is so protective, it has
built a fortress around it complete with soldiers ready to shoot
anyone who dares to approach the front gate.

But the purpose of this presentation is to provide you with new
information which calls into question what you have been taught.
Therefore, in order to evolve, you must be willing to step outside
your comfort zone, which means you must set aside your political
and religious beliefs and focus on the bigger picture: the human
race and our beloved home: Earth.
Bear in mind that regardless of what you now believe, the
moment you close your mind, you are not growing and
expanding, but withering and dying.

―Grasshopper, look beyond the game, as you look beneath the
surface of the pool to see its depths.‖
— Master Po

―The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It
is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion
is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt
in awe, is as good as dead: His eyes are closed.‖
— Albert Einstein

―Do not believe what you have heard. Do not believe in tradition
because it is handed down many generations. Do not believe in
anything that has been spoken of many times. Do not believe
because the written statements come from some old sage. Do not
believe in conjecture. Do not believe in authority or teachers or
elders. But after careful observation and analysis, when it agrees
with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live
by it.‖
— The Buddha

―To shape your future, you have to be ready and
able to change your paradigms.‖
— Joel Barker
Paradigms: The Business of Discovering the Future

―Throughout history, humankind has been resistant to change
and to the acceptance of new ideas. Historical lore is replete with
examples. When Galileo discovered the moons of Jupiter, the
astronomers of that time refused to accept or even look at these
satellites because the existence of these moons conflicted with
their accepted beliefs.‖

―The philosophies of one age have
become the absurdities of the next,
and the foolishness of yesterday will
become the wisdom of tomorrow.‖
— William Osler

―There is no absolute knowledge and those who claim it, whether
they are scientists or dogmatists, open the door to tragedy. All
information is imperfect. We have to treat it with humility.‖
— JOSEPH BRONOWSKI

Because of this natural
tendency to resist
information which doesn‘t
currently exist in your
comfort zone, I‘m going to
ask that you suspend your
judgment for the duration
of this presentation and
meet me in a place that
Rumi, a Sufi poet who lived
in the 1200's spoke of.
He said:

“There is a place beyond right and wrong.
I will meet you there.‖

— Rumi

I ask that you meet me there and allow me to present a case for
your consideration, for I have amassed a compelling body of
evidence which supports this thesis. And after hearing my case, it
will then be up to you to weigh this evidence and arrive at a
verdict.

This presentation is a synthesis of knowledge from many diverse
sources, each contributing a piece to the puzzle of life, which
when connected, provides a startling new worldview – a
worldview that has the power to change the world as we now
know it – just as the Ancients prophesied!

This presentation is not the ‗be all end all.‘ I do not profess to
have all the answers. My goal is to inspire you to look further
and deeper if your curiosity becomes as piqued as mine was.

―This information opens the floodgates of a new
thinking and has the power to usher in a fundamental
shift in the consciousness of man thus changing the
course of human development.‖
— DAN BROWN
The Lost Symbol

―This era is the result of a climax of human self-reflective
thought resulting in an exponential change in consciousness in
which all becomes revealed and known."
— Vladimir Vernadsky

But before we go any further, I‘ve got to ask you a really
important question…

and this is the same question that Morpheus posed to Neo in the
movie
―The Matrix:‖

Are you ready for the red pill?

Which means:
―Are you ready to explore what lies beneath the surface of life
experience?‖

Because once you learn the secrets, you cannot unlearn them.

Are you ready?

What qualifies me to be the messenger of this information?

I have spent the better part of my life exploring this subject-
matter.
The ‗dog-eat-dog‘ world we live in just never made sense to me. I
believed that we, as humanity, must have missed something; we
must have taken a wrong turn somewhere and so I began
searching for truth. And the truth I discovered was so amazing,
so life-changing, I had to share it with others,
so I wrote my first book which is entitled:

The subtitle of this book is: The
Secret To Life Unveiled: Who You
Really Are, How Life Really
Operates, And How To Unleash
The Incredible Power Within!
In a nutshell, this book is about a
premise you may be familiar with:

your thoughts
create your
reality

And though many are familiar with this premise, the process of
using our thoughts to create our realities can be challenging.

And in fact, the Ancients knew just how challenging it would be and
referred to those of us living in this era as:
―Those who walk between the worlds.‖

To make this transition into the next world a bit easier for myself
and others, I created ―Life‖ as a workbook and guide that takes the
―power of thought‖ out of the realm of the esoteric and
philosophical, and into everyday life.

After ―Life‖ was released in January of 2001, I began speaking
at various book stores and was scheduled to deliver a final
lecture in a series of lectures I was giving at my local Borders
book store on September 11, 2001.
But when the horrific tragedies occurred that day, I canceled
that talk, as I, and most everyone else in the country, was in a
state of shock and extremely distraught over these events.
Nonetheless, my phone began to ring. Some, attending this
lecture series longed for another perspective that might help them
make sense of what had just occurred.

They wanted to know if I could shed any light on these tragedies
as I was teaching that nothing in life is an accident.

And I believed I could.

While conducting my research I had discovered much about the
significance of the time we are now living. But I didn‘t include
that information because ―Life‖ was already 632 pages long and
I had to stop somewhere.

But when the tragic events of September 11 unfolded, I now felt
this information was important which inspired my second book…

And were I to release that book today, I would change that title
to the title of this presentation:
―Humankind at a Crossroads,‖
for I have learned that it is not only the events of September 11
that had a higher purpose, but also the numerous alarming
events that have transpired over the past few years. These events
are not only continuing, but intensifying today - touching the
lives of almost every person on the face of this planet.

Hurricane Katrina
AUGUST 2005

We are now juggling a host of overwhelmingly enormous and
complex issues;

most notably the debilitating effects of the economic crisis which
is restructuring the very fabric of our society.

Our middle class is undergoing a massive exodus into a newly
created poverty class through no fault of their own.

Economic Crisis
SEPTEMBER 2008

More and more people
are suffering: unable
to find a job, losing
their homes to
foreclosure, going
bankrupt in record
numbers, and watching
their retirement funds
diminish before their
very eyes. Businesses
are failing, banks are
closing, real estate
prices plummeting and
ghost towns being
created as a result.

At the same time, we are discovering that our government has been
bought out by lobbyists and the banking industry, those who represent
the richest corporations rather than what our forefathers intended:
a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

We are fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and paying their
ever-increasing price in terms of money and human life.

To make matters worse, on
January 17, 2007, the minute
hand of the Doomsday Clock
was moved two minutes closer to
midnight; now standing at 5
minutes before midnight. This
clock was created to warn how
close we, as Humankind, are to
catastrophic destruction — the
means by which we can
obliterate ourselves, represented
by the figurative midnight.

The Doomsday Clock has been
maintained since 1947 at the
University of Chicago by the
Bulletin of Atomic Scientists,
among them, 18 Nobel-prize
winning Laureates. The Scientists
focused on two major means of
catastrophe:
1) The threat created by 27,000
nuclear weapons — 2,000 of them
ready to launch within minutes;
and 2) Climate change — the
destruction of human habitats
upon which we depend for
survival.

―We stand at the brink of a second nuclear age. Not since the
first atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
has the world faced such perilous choices. North Korea‘s recent
test of a nuclear weapon, Iran‘s nuclear ambitions, a renewed
emphasis on the military utility of nuclear weapons, the failure to
adequately secure nuclear materials, and the continued presence
of 26,000 nuclear weapons in the United States and Russia are
symptomatic of the failure to solve the problems posed by the
most destructive technology on earth.‖
— The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists

"As scientists, we understand the dangers of nuclear weapons and
their devastating effects, and we are learning how human activities
and technologies are affecting climate systems in ways that may
forever change life on Earth. As citizens of the world, we have a duty
to alert the public to the unnecessary risks that we live with every
day, and to the perils we foresee if governments and societies do not
take action now to render nuclear weapons obsolete and to prevent
further climate change.‖
— stephen hawking

"Nuclear weapons still pose the most catastrophic and immediate
threat to humanity, but climate change and emerging
technologies in the life sciences also have the potential to end
civilization as we know it.‖
— sir martin rees

―In these dangerous times, scientists have the responsibility to
speak truth to power especially if it might provoke actions to
reduce threats from the preventable technological dangers
currently facing humanity. To do anything else would be
negligent.‖
―Global warming poses a dire threat to human civilization.
Through flooding and desertification, climate change threatens
the habitats and agricultural resources that societies depend
upon for survival. As such, climate change is also likely to
contribute to mass migrations and even to wars over arable land,
water and other natural resources.‖
— Lawrence Krauss
bulletin member & professor of Physics
and Astronomy at Case Western Reserve University

Very little. These
problems are indeed
inconvenient truths.
We have abdicated
our power to those
we believe to be
more powerful than
us and assigned to
them the
overwhelming task of
―fixing‖ our world…

we simply cannot handle any more;
we are being pushed beyond our limits…

However, denying these issues may be
unwise, because at this critical
evolutionary juncture…

alarming events will not only continue,
but will intensify.

The Ancients explain that discomfort, pain, conflict, and struggle
have a higher purpose.

They are catalysts for evolution…

signals to awaken us to the beginning of a new evolutionary
cycle.

“Crises and conflict serve as a catalyst calling you
to transcend the beliefs around you. You must look
within and ask if you are ready to be sovereign
and claim your power.‖
— PATRICIA CORI
No More Secrets, No More Lies

Now that you are aware of the enormity of the challenges we are
facing, are you ready to begin building a foundation of
knowledge and understanding? Are you ready to learn how we
can create our future? For the Ancients have left us the
knowledge we need to navigate these challenges with hope and a
sense of empowerment.

So let‘s begin with the ancient prophecies and learn of the
importance of the time we are now living.

Section 1

The Ancient Prophecies:
The Importance of the
Time We are Now Living

Some allege that the ancient prophecies are simply myth.
However, there is a common thread that runs through these
prophecies which makes them difficult to dismiss.
In fact, Albert Einstein actually felt the ancient prophecies were
a source of knowledge. He said:

―The Ancients knew something which
we seem to have forgotten.‖
— albert Einstein

What is the common thread in the ancient
documents?

They indicate that from 1987-2012, mankind would undergo the
most radical transformation of consciousness ever experienced
on this planet.

“Prophecy of a coming enlightenment,
a transformation of our human minds
into their true potentiality, is echoed
in virtually every faith, culture, era,
philosophical tradition, and in every
corner of the world.”
— Dan Brown
The Lost Symbol

The Ancients spoke of this time as:

―The Time of Trial on Earth‖
―The Shift of the Ages‖
―The Great Awakening‖
―The Apocalypse…‖

which in Greek means: the ―lifting of the veil,‖
the Ancients explain is the veil of incomplete understanding
that now pervades life on earth.

―This is the time of the Great
Initiation, Global Awakening.
All is to be revealed now. The
veil is lifting. Apocalypse is
upon us.‖
— Patricia Cori

What were the Ancients trying to convey to those of us in the future?

Many ancient civilizations were highly evolved and possessed
knowledge those of us living today can only understand with the
assistance of computers and satellite probes. They built
observatories, charted the movement of the stars through the
heavens and discovered that just as a cycle of seasons exists on a
planetary level, there is also a cycle of seasons that exists on a
cosmic level.

The Ancients learned that our solar system travels around the
Milky Way galaxy in an elliptic pattern whose far end carries us
to the most distant point from its core.
This long cosmic cycle occurs every 25,920 years and is called
―The Precession of the Equinoxes,‖ as it also relates to the
Earth‘s wobbling on its axis. The Ancients created a calendar
detailing the movement of the stars during this cycle as they orbit
through each house of the zodiac.

Mayan expert John Major Jenkins tells us that ancient
civilizations all over the world were aware of this 25,920 year
precession.

“The Sumerians, Tibetans, Egyptians, Cherokee, Hopi, Maya,
Kabbalists, Essenes, Navajo, Apache, Iroquois, Dogons,
Greeks, and Aborigines all had knowledge of the 25,920 year
Precession and developed calendars based on it.”
John Major Jenkins

These calendars indicate
that we are now
approaching the end of this
25,920 year cycle which will
culminate at noon on the
winter solstice:
December 21, 2012 .
On that heralded day, a rare
celestial conjunction in our
solar system will occur: the
Earth and sun will align
with the equator of our
Milky Way galaxy.

The Ancients communicated
these important dates with great intention by whatever means
they could think of: stone monuments, pyramids, temples and
tombs all over the world, many having precise calendrical
computations.

Why did the Ancients take such great pains to communicate this
knowledge to those living in the future?

this rare celestial conjunction has implications:

As the Earth draws nearer and nearer to the
Milky Way‘s equator, the energy at its core
affects the energy on Earth, triggering
geophysical changes in weather patterns, an
increase in solar flares, and the magnetic north of
Earth shifting a few degrees. These events have
the potential to cause cataclysms.

The Ancients wanted to make sure that we were aware of these
potentials so that we would know what to expect and could
prepare for these events.

Could this Ancient knowledge be accurate?

Recent data from ocean
sediment and polar ice
cores confirm that the
Earth has indeed
undergone cycles of
cataclysm which
correspond with the cycle
dates the Ancients
recorded.

Furthermore, the Ancients tell us
that specific events will occur
during this cycle:

1) The magnetic fields on Earth will decline.

Fact: Scientists have traced the magnetic fields of Earth since
1837, when Carl Friedrich Gauss invented the first device for
measuring the field. Data now shows a ten percent decline in
Earth's magnetic field —twenty times faster than the natural
decline rate would have been if the power source creating the
Earth's magnetic field had completely stopped. At this rate, the
magnetic field could virtually disappear in 2000 years.

2) There will be a sharp increase in the amount
of the sun’s energy reaching Earth.

Fact: NASA predicts an unusually powerful ―Solar Maximum‖
sunspot season for 2012 though it may peak as early as late 2011.
This intense solar activity occurs roughly every 11 years due to
cyclic changes to the Sun's magnetic field. Regions on the sun
continue to generate extremely energetic solar flare activity which
send charged particles crashing into the outer fringes of the
Earth's atmosphere at a high velocity, generating auroras and
geomagnetic storms thereby disrupting satellite and other
electromagnetic communications.

3) Global temperatures will increase.

4) Polar ice sheets will melt and collapse.

5) Global sea levels will rise.

Paleoclimatic evidence
shows that whenever
this 25,920 year cycle
has occurred in the
past, it has been
accompanied by
climate change, mass
extinctions and
evolutionary change.

Fact: Scientists agree that we have entered an unprecedented
period of mass extinction not seen since the age of the dinosaurs.
While estimates vary, extinction is occurring at a pace 100 to
1,000 times greater today than natural extinction with ever-
increasing intensity. According to a United Nations report,
almost a quarter of the world's mammals face extinction within
30 years, among them; lions, wild dogs, cheetahs, elephants,
gorillas, Siberian tigers, and the black rhinoceros. The UN report
has identified more than 11,000 endangered animal and plant
species — including more than 1,000 mammals and one in eight
bird species.

Is there anything we can do about this?
The Ancients say yes, if we utilize the ―secret wisdom‖ —
information prophesied to be revealed during this era —
information I will reveal later in this presentation.

Knowing that a cycle is about to take place allows us to prepare
for the general conditions created within that cycle. However,
how that cycle ultimately plays out, is determined solely by the
choices we make.

The
prophecies
are simply
warning us
of the need
to take
necessary
steps so that
we can
avoid
cataclysm.

What specific steps do we need to take now?

The Ancients explained that the issues we need to resolve would
automatically be illuminated during the end of this cycle in a
process they referred to as:
―The Purification‖ or ―Cleansing.‖

As we approach the equator of the Milky Way, the energy at its core
accelerates the energy on Earth which amplifies and illuminates both
that which is good and that which is bad. This creates greater and
greater polarity, separating the ―wheat from the chaff,‖ thus
distinguishing the valuable from the valueless. This ―Purification‖
exposes that which does not serve humanity which then allows us the
opportunity to resolve these issues and evolve to the next stage of
evolution.

For example: The recent financial meltdown has revealed aspects of
the banking industry which do not serve humanity. What has been
exposed through this process is that this industry is self-serving. It
preys upon the helpless and lacks both conscience and integrity.

How we treat the weakest members
of our civilization is our litmus test:
a test of consciousness echoed by
many leaders.

―The measure of a civilization is how it treats its weakest
members.‖
— Gandhi

―The moral test of government is how that government treats
those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in
the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of
life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped."
— hubert H. Humphrey

―The test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless
members.‖
— Pearl S. Buck

―You can judge a nation by the way it treats its most vulnerable
citizens.‖
— Aristotle

The Maya speak of the 25 years preceding 2012 as the ―Great
Hall of Mirrors,‖ for not only will we, as Humankind, be forced
to face those mirrors and examine our behavior, but each of us
individually will be called upon to do so as well with ourselves,
others and nature.

They explain that the cycles of the universe generate these
processes so that a civilization can evolve its understanding and
fundamental integrity with everything that exists.

During this period of Purification, the circumstances of this test
of consciousness will be set up and life will resemble a famous
excerpt from ―A Tale of Two Cities:‖

―It was the best of times and it was
the worst of times; it was the age of
wisdom, it was the age of incredulity;
it was the season of light, it was the
season of darkness‘ it was the spring
of hope, it was the darkness of
despair; we had everything before us,
we had nothing before us; we were all
going direct to Heaven, we were all
going direct the other way…‖
— Charles Dickens

How we respond to this ―test‖ will be
one measure of our level of
consciousness.

To tackle these specific
issues, we must first ask
ourselves what Dr. Phil has
made so clear:
―Is what you are currently
doing working for ―you‖?
―You‖ being Humankind.
And the answer to that
question is an emphatic NO!

We also need to listen to what others are saying; those who are
examining and learning from the mistakes, we in the United
States have made; those who can assess from a distance how we
have gotten ourselves into the mess we are now in.

In a rare interview, CNN‘s highly esteemed journalist, Fareed
Zecharia, asked Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao his view on
governing. And in my estimation his reply was very wise indeed.

―We had one important thought: that socialism can practice market
economy. Give full play to the basic role of market forces in
allocating resources under the macro-economic guidance and
regulation of the government. Ensure that both the visible hand and
the invisible hand are given full play.‖
Prime Minister Wen Jiabao citied two books, circa 1776, by Adam
Smith which inspired him: First, "The Wealth of Nations" which
deals with the invisible hand: market forces. And second, ―The
Theory of Moral Sentiment,‖ which deals with social equity and
justice stressing the importance of the regulatory role of government.
The prime minister agreed with Mr. Smiths premise, for he stated:
―If most of the wealth in a country is concentrated in the hands of the
few, the country can hardly have harmony and stability.‖

Although the mere word ―socialism‖ will incite many, we must
transcend the rhetoric and work on behalf of Humanity. We must
recognize that the wealth of our country has shifted dramatically
to a few at the expense of the majority.
Keep in mind: this is a test, a set-up in the Divine Plan to
measure consciousness.
To pass this test, our representatives in government must have
the courage to look beyond the next election and work on behalf
of the people, the majority of people, not the lobbyists.

I personally know many people impacted by the Economic crisis:
Upstanding citizens who worked hard all of their lives to
establish a business, buy a home within their means and pay their
taxes. Those same people now are losing their businesses or jobs,
their homes to foreclosure. Their credit scores, the measure of
who you are in our society, have plummeted to the degree that it
will be years before they will ever be able to get credit again.
They have literally been stripped bare and now face an uncertain
future, perhaps even homelessness. And how are they being
treated by those who perpetrated these conditions? The banks
and credit card companies are carrying on as though nothing has
happened; for them it is ‗business as usual.‘ They are treating
these people like sub-standard citizens, raising interest rates,
cutting available credit, demanding payment and threatening
litigation to people who did nothing to create the conditions they
are now caught up in. Can you see how this exposes their level of
consciousness?

How long will average people
tolerate not being able to feed
their families or send their kids to
college while a wealthy few at the
top enjoy conspicuous
consumption?

Just take a look at history and you
will discover how this imbalance
ultimately ends, for energy always
seeks balance; it is a tenet of
physics.

After studying the
monuments of many
ancient civilizations,
author Graham Hancock
concluded that within
these records and
monuments there is an
important message for
those of us living today:

To paraphrase: Humanity has arrived at this critical evolutionary
point before without successfully balancing the material and spiritual
aspects of our lives. As a result, Earth went through drastic physical
changes to rid herself of those who had the potential to destroy her,
and Humankind had to begin this journey again at a lower level of
consciousness. In our distant past, civilizations existed which were
advanced technologically but not spiritually. This imbalance led to
their demise. And so, our ancestors left information for us to discover
and contemplate which warn of terrible Earth changes that
periodically afflict our planetary home. Around the year 2012 ,
however, there appears to be a fork in the road of human destiny.
Which path opens for us is determined by the choices we make and
quality of life we lead. The die has been cast and each soul has a
choice to make: to turn toward the light or the dark.
— Graham Hancock
Fingerprints of the Gods

―Astrological mapping of the years up to 2012 provide valuable
insights into the nature of the coming changes upon the planet.
The way in which we respond to the released celestial energies is
crucial, because the upside of desperate circumstances will be an
accelerated flowering of the spirit amongst people who can relate
positively to what is happening. From the perspective of events
working themselves out as part of an intense global healing
crisis, this is an initiation process for the whole of humanity. An
astrological natal chart for December 21, 2012 says with great
deliberation: ―This is a test.‖

Beyond Prophecies And Predictions

With this information in mind,
let‘s now examine the prophecies from
different civilizations:

ancient Mayans

We are exiting the Fifth Age of Man –
the ―Age of the Intellect‖
And entering the Sixth Age of Man —
the ―Age of the Gods‖

The Classic Maya were extremely intelligent, possessing advanced
knowledge of the written language, mathematics and astronomy,
referred to by science as ‗The Maya Phenomenon.‘

The Classic Maya believed that their civilization existed in the fifth
great solar cycle. They described four different ages that existed in
the past, each ending in cataclysm created by mankind. They
explain that when a civilization arrives at the end of a ―great
cycle,‖ humanity is given the opportunity to evolve, but if it fails the
‗test,‘ the evolution of man must start all over again.

According to the Maya, December 21, 2012 is the beginning of
"a new world age" — "a new creation.‖ The world we create will
depend upon the choices we make now. They understood that the
cyclical nature of the galaxy never changes, that it is only
―Man‘s process toward Perfection‖ which changes.

―We are now in a transition period called the
―Cycle of the Merge of the Dark and the Light.‖
The cycle of the light will come in full force on 12/21/2012.
The world will not end; it will be transformed. Earth will
transcend to a new level of consciousness where everything
will change. Change is accelerating now and will continue
to accelerate. We will rise to a new higher level but to get there
we must transform enormously powerful forces that seek to
block the way. Earth can be renewed or ravaged. Now is the
time to awaken and take action. This is a crucially
important moment for humanity and for Earth.‖
— Carlos Barrios

―During the last few years preceding 2012, we are told that we
must disintegrate the corruption within the traditional world
order. For those who choose the old ways, it will be the end of
their world. For those who pledged allegiance to the sacredness
of life and the planet, the sound the old makes as it crumbles will
be the sound of one egg cracking.‖
— Carlos Barrios

Hopi prophecies

We are exiting the
―Fourth World of Destruction‖
and entering the
―Fifth World of Peace‖

The Hopi, whose name means "people of peace," have sacred
traditions that go back thousands of years. Their prophecies state
that a great purification would take place on Earth; a time when
the world would shudder and tremble causing much destruction
in order to cleanse the planet of the karmic negativity we have
created while serving as its caretakers.

The Hopi warn that humankind now stands at a critical point of
decision where we must choose everlasting life or total
destruction.

Hopi wisdom
explains:

―We now face the
final test of human
consciousness:
we must restore
our oneness with
creation. We are
going home. It is a
process. It is like
the seed becoming
the green shoot
and then the
flower.‖

―The key to going through these changes lies in meditation and
prayer and giving love to all things: people, animals, plants and
mountains for the spirit is one of the cantinas (expressions of
spirit) which are many.‖
— Hopi wisdom

Lakota Sioux prophecies

We are exiting a period of chaos and destruction
And entering a period of harmony and unity

The Lakota prophecies are quite interesting for they tell us that
the transition into this new era would begin when a rare white
buffalo was born.
The father of this buffalo was to die shortly after its birth and
then something extraordinary would occur,
for this buffalo was to change its color four times —
each color representing one of the root races in our world and
symbolizing the coming together of humanity.

And guess what? In August of 1994, an extremely rare white
buffalo, named ―Miracle‖ was born in Janesville, Wisconsin.
As prophesied, Miracle‘s father died ten days later and
amazingly her coat indeed changed color over the next 3 years:
from white to black to red to yellow.

―Miracle‖
color changes 1994-1997

The Lakota prophecies also present us with a caveat:
If we fail to achieve harmony at this evolutionary juncture…

life as we now know it will end.

Hindu prophecies
We are exiting the Kali Yuga,
―The Age of Ignorance‖
And entering the Satya Yuga,
―The Golden Age of Truth and Knowledge‖

The Hindu separated the great
25,920 year cycle into periods
known as Yugas. They tell us
that we are now living at the
close of the Kali Yuga:
an era characterized by
darkness, suffering, greed,
and violence — an age where
the helpless become targets to
be preyed upon.
But in the near future, we will
transition into the ―Satya‖
Yuga — an era characterized
by virtue and wisdom where
misery, hatred, and illness no
longer exist.

The Hindu tell us that we would know
when the transition into the next yuga was imminent
when problems became amplified and hypocrisy
reached its zenith, for in that discomfort, Humankind
would be compelled to seek solutions which would
then usher us into the next stage of evolution.

ancient EGYPTIANS

We are exiting the ―Piscean Age‖
and entering the ―Aquarian Age‖

The ancient Egyptians were an incredibly sophisticated culture
possessing advanced abilities in design, architecture, engineering
and construction incapable of being replicated today. The Giza
complex of ancient Egypt is the last of the seven ancient wonders
of the world. The great pyramid is considered one of the most
mysterious enigmas which exists today and is the largest and
most massive stone structure in the world.

Egyptologists claim that the Pyramids were built by pharaohs as
tombs, however, the Great Pyramid did not contain a pharaoh's
body, a treasure chamber, nor treasures. What then was its
purpose?

Legend
claims that encoded
in its architecture is a proph-
etic message containing the past and
future history of our planet. If this was
indeed the intent of the Egyptians, they had a tall
order, for they had to construct a monument that would
not only endure for eons, but be understood by a future
civilization.

The word
pyramid perhaps sheds
light on its meaning. In Greek,
the word "pyra" means light or visible,
and the word "midos," means measures. Hence,
the Great Pyramid of Giza has been called "the center
of measurement and enlightenment (knowledge)" for centuries.

Scientist and mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton was mesmerized by
both the legend of the Pyramid and its incredible accuracy of
construction. After studying the measurements made by numerous
investigators before him, Newton recognized that key measurements
would produce round numbers if he utilized the Sacred Jewish Inch,
a unit of measure said to have been used in ancient times. The
sacred Jewish inch is 1/25 of a sacred cubit, or 1/1,000 inch larger
than the British inch, and has a meaning beyond measurement for the
Bible often employs substitutions such as days for years.
Using one pyramid inch to represent one year, the pyramid reveals
unmistakable geometrical relationships.
So, let‘s take a look at some of those measurements:

*The relationship between Pi (p) and Phi (F) is expressed in the
fundamental proportions of the Great Pyramid.
*The length of a base is 9,131 Pyramid Inches from corner to corner
in a straight line.
*The length of a base side at the base socket level is 9,131 Pyramid
Inches or 365.24 Pyramid Cubits.
*The length of a base side at sidereal socket level is 9,131.4 Pyramid
Inches or 365.256 Pyramid Cubits.
*The length of the perimeter at the sidereal socket level is
36,525.63629 Pyramid Inches.
*The perfect formula height of the pyramid including the missing
apex is 5813.2355653763 Pyramid Inches, calculated from perimeter
of base divided by 2 Pyramid Inches.
*The height to the missing apex is 5,812.98 Pyramid Inches.

*The volume of the pyramid is: V = 1/3 base area x height =
161,559,817,000 cubic Pyramid Inches = 10,339,828.3 cubic
Pyramid Cubits. [(5,813.2355653 Pyramid Inches)/3 x 9 131
Pyramid Inches x 9 131 Pyramid Inches]
*The sum of the pyramid's two base diagonals in Pyramid Inches =
length of the Precession of the Equinoxes (25,827 years)
* The distance from the ceiling of the King's Chamber to the apex of
the pyramid = 4,110.5 Pyramid Inches, the radius of a circle whose
circumference = the precession of the equinoxes. [4,110.5 * 2 *
Pyramid Inches = 25,827]
*The perimeter of the 35th course of blocks, thicker than any of the
other courses, reveals a figure for the precession of the equinoxes.
*The outside surface stones are cut within 0.01 (1/100th) inch of
perfectly straight and at nearly perfect right angles for all six sides,
and placed together with a gap between them of 0.02 inch designed
to allow space for glue to seal and hold the stones together.

*A white cement that connected the casing stones and made them
watertight is still intact and stronger than the blocks that it joins.
*The Ascending Passage rises at the same angle, 26.3 degrees, as the
angle of decline of the Descending Passage.
*The Descending Passage lines up with the Pole Star. With the
length of the passage 334 feet long, the angle of view is only + or -
1/3 of a degree. Because of the slow motion of the stars, the passage
lines up precisely to a Pole Star only once every several thousand
years. Stars move, and the Pole Star, Alpha Draconis has not been in
direct alignment with the Descending Passage for thousands of
years. However, a new Pole Star, known as the North Star, or
"Polaris,‖ will align within the next few years.
*Each year the North Star shines further down the Descending
Passage thus illuminating the entrance to the Well Shaft in 1997.
*The North Star illuminated the floor of the Subterranean Passage in
2004.

*The Pyramid's immense weight is supported by a flat solid
granite mountain directly under the Pyramid.
*The great pyramid was built to face true North.
*The Pyramid is located at the exact center of the Earth's land
mass. Its East-West axis corresponds to the longest land parallel
across the Earth and the longest land meridian on Earth passes
right through the Pyramid.
*The Pyramid's cornerstones have balls and sockets built into
them. After 4,600 year, this structure would have been
significantly damaged without such construction.
* A universal relationship exists between the diameter of a circle
and its circumference. The height of the Pyramid's apex is
5,812.98 inches, and each side is 9,131 inches from corner to
corner (in a straight line). If the circumference of the Pyramid is
divided by twice its height (the diameter of a circle is twice the
radius), the result is 3.14159 – pi — demonstrated many times in
the pyramids precise construction.

*Each of the Pyramids four walls, when measured as a straight
line, are 9,131 inches, for a total of 36,524 inches — moving the
decimal point over = 365.24 — the exact length of the solar year.
*The average height of land above sea level (Miami being low
and the Himalayas being high), as can be measured only by
modern-day satellites and computers is 5,449 inches — the exact
height of the Pyramid.
*The four sides of the Pyramid are very slightly and evenly
bowed in exactly replicating the curvature of the earth;
the radius of this concave bow is equal to the radius of the Earth.

CHRONOLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS?
When years are substituted for inches, the Great Pyramid becomes a
prophetic calendar. Dates shown include the alignment of the last Pole
Star Draconis in 2141 B.C., the start of the Pyramid's construction in
2623 B.C., the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt in 1453 B.C., the
death of Christ in 33 A.D., and the start of World War I in 1914

I believe the Egyptians were trying to convey something to us in
geometry, said to be the language of the Universe.

In addition to the incredible stone monuments the Egyptians
constructed, they also possessed an astonishingly accurate zodiac
calendar which spanned 40,000 years.

This calendar ended on September 17, 2001;
six short days after the tragedies of September 11 –
a day that changed the course of history and forced
many choices which would impact the future of Humanity.
Some say that September 2001 marked the most intensive
end phase of our ―test‖ where the level
of our collective consciousness would be revealed..

This calendar is called the Dendera disk, a ancient celestial
zodiac clock ticking away Earth‘s journey through time. It is
embedded into the stone ceiling of the Dendera temple complex
in Egypt and clearly marks the shift from one world age to the
next. In addition, it contains all of the information needed to
calculate Earth‘s journey from one zodiac sign to the next. What
makes it interesting though, is that each zodiac sign is close to
one another with the exception of Pisces and Aquarius. Between
these two signs is a symbol referred to as ―the Square of
Pegasus‖ – a tablet that holds the ‗programs of destiny;‘ telling
us that during the cycle we are now in, there is a window of
opportunity for Humankind to evolve.

―Historical records contain
indisputable evidence that secret
wisdom came out of ancient mystery
schools in Egypt. They taught that the
Pyramid represents enlightenment: An
architectural symbol of ancient mans
ability to break free from the earthly
plane and ascend toward Heaven —
the supreme source of illumination.‖
— DAN BROWn
The Lost Symbol

In addition to the prophecies of the ancient civilizations, there
are other sources which have attempted to communicate critical
knowledge to those of us living in this historic cycle ,
―if we can ‗read.‘‖

And one of those sources is the highly controversial ―Bible
Code,‖ considered by some to be the most compelling enigma in
history.

The Bible Code not only corroborates the Ancient wisdom, but
warns that during the narrow window of time we are now living
in, we must open our minds, learn the ancient wisdom and
consciously utilize it to create our future.

For more than 3,000 years
it has been alleged that a
code existed within the
Torah; the original first five
books of the Bible.
Dating back to medieval
times, rabbinical scholars
first wrote about the
discovery of meaningful
words hidden in this
Hebrew text.

―The rule is that all that was,
is, and will be unto the end of
time, is included in the Torah,
from the first word to the last
word. And not merely in a
general sense, but as to the
details of every species and
each one individually, and
details of details of everything
that happened to him from the
day of his birth until his end.‖
— The Genius of Vilna
an 18th Century Sage

Even the Biblical book
of Daniel speaks of
‗sealing the book‘ until
‗the end of time.‘

―Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed
until the time of the end. Many shall purify themselves and make
themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act
wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who
are wise shall understand.‖
— The Bible Daniel 12: 9, 10

―But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the
time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall
increase.‖
— The Bible Daniel 12:4

Sir Isaac Newton was
among those who believed
that the Bible contained a
hidden prophecy of human
history. He was convinced
that the Bible was a
―cryptogram set by the
Almighty‖ and wanted
very much to ―read the
riddle of the Godhead, the
riddle of past and future
events divinely
foreordained.‖

The entire notion of a
Bible Code was myth
until 1994…

when two scientists, world-
renowned mathematician,
Eliyahu Rips, and computer
expert Doron Witztum,
stunned the world for they
had succeeded in breaking
the code!

They published their findings in a
journal called ―Statistical Science,
however, because this topic was so
controversial these findings were
subjected to intense scrutiny. A
panel of referees were appointed
to verify the findings and they
determined that the math used to
ascertain them was ironclad. In
fact, it exceeded the criteria
typically used as a benchmark.

―Our referees were baffled. Their prior beliefs made them think
the Book of Genesis could not possibly contain meaningful
references to modern day individuals, yet when the authors
carried out additional analyses and checks, the effects persisted.
The paper is thus offered to ‗Statistical Science‘ readers as a
challenging puzzle.‖
— Robert Kass
Editor

In addition, the Bible code was proven
infallible by a number of other credible
scientific sources. Famous
mathematicians, the highest level
Pentagon code-breakers, as well as
esteemed professors at Harvard, Yale,
and Hebrew University all agree that,
although incomprehensible from our
current knowledge base, the Bible Code is
valid.

This mystery was
unraveled by
eliminating the
spaces and
punctuation
between words,
essentially
turning the
original Torah
into one long
strand of letters
— a clue
intimated in
folklore.

The Bible code appears to foretell every major event in history:
current, future, and past, including the Kennedy assassinations, the
Rabin assassination, World Wars I and II, the Shoemaker-Levy comet
striking Jupiter, the Gulf War, and the September 11 tragedies. Some
also suggest that it foretells the future of man…

Investigative writer Michael Drosnin
authored ―Bible Code II: The
Countdown‖ where he reveals an
unsettling message regarding 2012.
Intersecting the word ‗comet,‘ are the
words: ―Earth annihilated.‖ More
important, there is a second message
which also appears:―It will be
crumbled, driven out;‖ ―I will tear it to
pieces.‖ In the second scenario it is not
Earth which is destroyed, but the threat.
More interesting though, a haunting
third phrase appears – a phrase which
appears throughout the Bible Code
when specific scenarios are identified:

―Will you change it?‖

The Bible Code appears to present various potential futures which
exist concurrently — a premise more fully understood with the
advent of Quantum Physics, because it says the same thing.

In his closing remarks in ―Bible Code: The Countdown,‖ author
Michael Drosnin explains:
―...the Bible Code is more than a warning. It may be the
information we need to prevent the predicted disaster. ‗Code will
save‘ appears right above ‗Atomic Holocaust,‘ just below ‗the
End of Days.‘ It is not a promise of divine salvation nor a threat
of inevitable doom. The message of the Bible Code is that we can
save ourselves. In the end, what we do determines the outcome.‖

The Bible Code appears to provide yet further
validation that we, as humankind, have arrived at a
point in our evolution where we must choose our
future.

There is yet another controversial book which
corroborates the Ancient Prophecies entitled:
―The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch.‖ ®

This book challenges us to go beyond
our rational intellect; telling us that we
are all experiential beings with free
will. By integrating our Higher Self
with the Divine in conjunction with the
energy field, we will bring forth the
knowledge of the true science of Life
enabling us to make a quantum leap in
our consciousness. The Keys teach that
we must unite the scientific and
spiritual realms in order to solve the
problems of Earth. Its ultimate purpose
is to advance humanity so that we are
prepared to make a quantum shift that
will move both us and Earth into the
next phase of our evolution.

The original Book of Enoch, said to
contain the Ancient secrets, was
banned from the Bible by early
religious leaders but in the 1800‘s a
copy was discovered in Ethiopia.
What knowledge did the church wish
to ban?
The powerful Ancient knowledge
which was relegated to only a few
high priests.
Enoch was the great-grandfather of
Noah. In this book it was explained:
―My great-grandfather Enoch gave
me all the secrets in the book and
parables which had been given to
him, and he put them together for me
in the words of the book of the
parables.―

The Book of Enoch was also found
intact in the Dead Sea Scrolls and
describes a wondrous civilization which
existed in the past – a civilization which
misused the keys of higher knowledge
and were unable to save themselves
from cataclysm. Yet Enoch promises a
return of this knowledge at the ―end of
time.‖
This knowledge suggests that ―Regular
cataclysmic changes act as an
evolutionary agent provocateur to
quicken the resident life forms to the
next evolutionary phase.‖

I‟m now going to present a provocative excerpt from a
metaphysical source — the best-selling series of books entitled
“Conversations With God,” by Neale Walsch. For in this book
there is an account of the advanced Atlantean civilization and
how it failed to pass the same test we are now undergoing:

And just in case you are uncomfortable
with anything categorized as “Metaphysical,”
or that which is beyond the physical,
it was Albert Einstein who said:

―The more I study
Physics, the more I am
drawn to Metaphysics.‖
— Albert Einstein

―Once before on your planet you had reached the heights —
beyond the heights, really, to which you now are slowly climbing.
You had a civilization on Earth more advanced than the one now
existing. And it destroyed itself. Not only did it destroy itself, it
nearly destroyed everything else as well. It did this because it did
not know how to deal with the very technologies it had developed.
Its technological evolution was so far ahead of its spiritual
evolution that it wound up making technology its god.
Walsch: Are you talking about the Lost City of Atlantis?
God: Some of you have called it that.
Walsch: So then it is true? We did get to that place before?
God: Oh beyond it, My Friend. Way beyond it.
Walsch: And we destroyed ourselves?
God: Why are you surprised? You're doing the same thing now.‖
— Neale Donald Walsch
Conversations with God Book 3

Another reason
the Ancients took
great pains to
forewarn of the
changes that
were to occur?

They wanted to make sure we were aware of
the reason for the crises occurring in our
world so that we could transcend the chaos
and utilize this unprecedented opportunity in
history as it was intended: to evolve.

The Ancient documents agree:

We have now arrived at a critical juncture in our evolution where
we must apply the ancient wisdom to create our future.

―The knowledge to unlock the ancient mysteries was to be
revealed at a pivotal moment in history where mankind could no
longer survive without the knowledge and wisdom of the ancients.
At this dark crossroads, mankind will herald in a wondrous new
age of enlightenment.
That moment is fast approaching —
it is always darkest before dawn.‖
— dan brown
The Lost Symbol

Have we now arrived at the point where we can no longer
survive without the ancient knowledge?
Many believe so.
The ancient prophecies indicate that around the year 2000, we
would arrive at a precarious point in our evolution. By that time,
we would have acquired vast technological and scientific
capabilities, but at the same time, we would lack critical
knowledge to use that power wisely which would threaten both
the planet and the human race.

And interestingly, it is not only the Ancients that
speak of this threat, for many contemporary
visionaries have recognized it as well.
The following is an excerpt from The Earth
Charter, a vision statement created by numerous
worldwide organizations:

―We stand at a critical moment in Earth‘s history, a time when
humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes
increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once
holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we
must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of
cultures and life forms, we are one human family and one
Earth community with a common destiny.‖
— the Earth Charter

―Humankind is standing precariously on the edge of its destiny. It
will either rise to a paradigm change or experience decline or
possible destruction. This is an unavoidable confrontation.”
— Glenda Green

―Within the next ten years, America will have a catastrophe or a
renaissance. Something is going to happen to take us back to
who we are.”
— Marianne Williamson

―The age of nations is past. The task before us now, if we would not
perish, is to shake off our ancient prejudices, and to build the
Earth… The future of the world is in our hands.‖
— Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

―We are the ones who have the most profound task in
human history:
The task of deciding whether we grow or die.‖
— JEAN HOUSTON

So, how do we grow?
What are we now supposed to do?

I‘m now going to share a rather strange prophetic message I received 24
years ago which provides a clue.
Again I ask that you refrain from throwing the baby out with the bath water
until you have heard the entirety of this presentation...
Late one evening a friend of mine called and asked if I would accompany her
the following day to an appointment she had made with a psychic. Although
she planned to go with another friend, that friend had just canceled and she
was a bit apprehensive about going alone.
Well, to tell you the truth, I wasn‘t too keen about seeing a psychic, but she
begged and pleaded and I finally conceded thinking, ‖What the heck, life is
an adventure,‖ right?
And indeed this meeting was an adventure, for in the midst of our session this
man stopped abruptly and told me that he was receiving an urgent message
for me from a group of teachers…
Now, this was a bit weird in my book, but he distracted me and told me to
hurry up and write down what he was receiving before he lost it.
This is the message I received on that day:

―Things only happen when you make them happen. To let go and
surrender is to let things happen to you.
You have free will and must set things in motion. Planet Earth is
on the verge of destructive power in the wrong hands. Things will
only change when people change. To raise people‘s spiritual
consciousness is the task at hand. It can only begin there and be
demonstrated as such. There is much work to do. Begin by
helping others become aware. You have the gift. Use it or it will
be wasted.

D.M.A. is your first step...
[DMA, or Dimensional Mind Approach was a course I was then
taking that dealt with the multi-dimensions of the mind]
…Every person‘s ―Universal truth‖ they espouse is holy unto
them. Formulate your own truth, live by it, share it, and teach it.
That is your mission. To blend the psychological awareness of
your past with the awareness of the reality of the future is key.
While men are building new and beautiful skyscrapers, energy
should be channeled into consciousness in this world.

They are blind. Make them see. Various civilizations that were
highly technical, fell. When there is technology without the
awareness of God, it cannot work. God, or Spirit is before
technology and channeling the power properly will benefit and
evolve mankind. It must be harnessed or all will be lost. Mankind
on Earth will have to begin again. All progress made by the
various souls will be lost. It is time, the time is now for these
events to happen. They only happen with individual people. That
is the task at hand.‖

What‘s the clue in this
message?

―Various civilizations that were highly technical fell. When there
is technology without the awareness of God, or Spirit, it
cannot work.‖

Without the integration of science and spirit, or achieving
balance in all aspects of who we are — body, mind & spirit —
stagnation occurs, evolution comes to an abrupt halt, and our
civilization begins to decline.

And English historian,
Arnold Toynbee,
agreed with that
premise. After studying
the fall of 26 ancient
civilizations, he
concluded that these
civilizations all
perished for
the same reason:

These civilizations had become so blinded by
their power, so convinced of their utter
brilliance, so unwilling to examine the
incongruities in their belief systems,
they unwittingly created
their own demise.

precisely where we find
ourselves today…

How can we avoid the same fate?

Albert Einstein provides
two more clues.
In the first he tells us:

―Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that
created them.‖
— ALBERT EINSTEIN

So, it appears that the
solutions to our
problems lie at the next
level of awareness,
which just so happens to
impel our evolution into
that next level.

In the second clue he
warns:

―We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if
mankind is to survive.‖
— ALBERT EINSTEIN

So, our manner of thinking seems to
be key to our evolution, and as you
learned earlier, the knowledge we
need to advance our thinking – the
ancient mystery of mysteries –
was destined to be revealed today.
But think about it... How would this
―secret‖ knowledge be conveyed and
received in today‘s day and age?
Was someone to appear on CNN and
reveal the secret? And if they did,
how do you think they might be
perceived?…

What would it take to capture the attention of the world to
the degree that our prevailing beliefs would change
dramatically?

What would it take to force us to look at the bigger picture;
the path we are now on?

Crises, conflicts, upheavals…
events so riveting they would shake us to our core and kick us out
of our comfort zones.

Remember, there a higher purpose to adversity,
crisis and catastrophe…

these events act
as catalysts to
trigger
evolution…

they provide
an
opportunity
for an
evolutionary
quantum
leap.

magnitude provide
a wake-up call
which challenges
us to ask
penetrating
questions:

―What are we doing,‖
and more important,

Consider the path Ebenezer
Scrooge was on in Dickens classic,
―A Christmas Carol:‖

Only until Mr. Scrooge was
able to experience
the repercussions of his
tyrannical ways from a
place of discomfort, was
he able to awaken and alter
the course of his life.

Where was he, and where was he
going before discomfort came
knocking at his door?

Now that you are aware of the importance of the time we are now
living, we will move onto Section 2
and examine the bigger picture:

SECTION 2

The Process of Evolution and How it
Unfolds

for unless you have a more
expanded view of life, nothing can
or will make sense. And that
premise was illustrated beautifully
in a song written by the gifted
songwriter Steven Schwartz, for
the movie
―The Prince of Egypt.‖

And I‘d like to share the
incredible lyrics with you.

A single thread in a tapestry though its color brightly shines,
can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design.
And the stone that sits at the very top of the
mountain‘s mighty face,
does it think it‘s more important than the stones
that form the base?
So how can you see what your life is worth or
where your value lies?
You can never see through the eyes of man.
You must look at life through Heaven‘ eyes.
A lake of gold in the desert sand is less than a cool fresh spring?
And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy is
greater than the richest king.
If a man loses everything he owns, has he truly lost his worth?
Or is it the beginning of a new and brighter birth?

So how do you measure the worth of a man,
in wealth or strength or size?
In how much he gained or how much he gave?
The answer will come to him who tries to look at
his life through Heaven‘s eyes.
And that‘s why we share all we have with you though
there‘s little to be found.
When all you‘ve got is nothing, there‘s a lot to go around
No life can escape being blown about by the
winds of change or chance.
And though you never know all the steps,
you must learn to join the dance.
So how can you judge what a man is worth?
By what he builds or buys?
You can never see with your eyes on Earth.
Look at life through Heaven‘s eyes!

To look at life through Heavens eyes, we must begin with the
perennial questions:

―What are we doing here‖,
and
―Why is life so difficult?‖

Throughout the ages, spiritual teachers have taught that life is a
course of experience we must go through in this schoolroom
called planet Earth,
before we can graduate to higher levels of being.

If that‘s the case,
what‘s the
curriculum?

the evolution of consciousness…

the expansion or advancement of our souls
through experience.

Whether you know it or not, evolution is
occurring in your every moment.

Think about it. Do you know more today
than you did ten years ago?

Probably.

But more important:

Have you grown wiser as a result of those experiences?

―There are no
mistakes, no
coincidences.
All events are
blessings given to
us to learn from.‖
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

―Evolution, innate to the overall field of consciousness,
guarantees the salvation of mankind, and with it, all of life.‖
— Dr. david Hawkins
Power Versus Force

So, if evolution is the
name of the game,
is there an organizing
process to evolution?

I believe the answer to that question is:
yes,
and it is best explained by a scientific theory called:

Spiral Dynamics is an
offshoot of
Developmental
Psychology which
studies the growth and
development of the
mind,
with Spiral Dynamics
focusing on the
dynamics of
consciousness..

The dictionary defines it as:
awareness; wakefulness;
the executive control
system of the mind.

I discovered the premise of
Spiral Dynamics in a book
entitled:
―A Theory Of Everything‖
by Dr. Ken Wilber.
And I just loved that title for I
thought ―this dude has a
theory of everything,‖ and I
was curious to learn what his
theory was all about.

Fundamental to Dr. Wilber‘s
theory, is the premise of
Spiral Dynamics. For he
believes that without
an understanding of
Spiral Dynamics, it would
be difficult to understand
anything in life.

And after reading his
book and experiencing
a number of epiphanies,
I agreed.

What does Spiral
Dynamics say?

.

More than one hundred different research studies conducted
across the globe which tested more than fifty thousand people,
agreed on one item:

Humanity is divided into 8 distinct levels of consciousness –
each representing a stage of evolution.

The development of consciousness occurs as one progresses
through these stages, referred to as memes, and every person on
the face of this planet happens to be in one of those memes.

Just as our schools are separated into various grade
levels, the schoolroom called planet Earth is also
divided into different levels.

Each meme has a specific set of beliefs and attributes that operate
unconsciously but significantly influence a person‘s behavior. These
beliefs are so deeply ingrained within one‘s psyche, that he or she
believes that their meme is the only legitimate meme and as a result,
they adopt the following stance:

―My beliefs are right, yours are wrong, and if I can‘t convince
you of the err of your ways,
I had better rid the world of your kind or else the world will go to
hell in a hand basket!‖

This is the old ‗save the world from evil‘ story that has been told,
retold, and embellished upon for ages.
And if we take a closer look at those who hate or have disdain for
the United States, or for that matter, western civilization, what we
see is a contemporary version of this story being played out.
From their perspective, their level of consciousness,
they have concluded that westerners are a decadent, corrupt,
unspiritual bunch of folks who will ultimately infect and destroy the
human race if they don‘t eliminate us from the face of this planet.
A noble premise, and that‘s why they‘re able to recruit
and incite so many followers; they believe they are saving the world
from evil. Only in this case, we‘re the
ones perceived as evil.

You may be thinking that we would
be better off if those at more primary
levels of consciousness just didn‘t
live on this planet…

It would certainly
eliminate a lot of
issues, right?
But think
about it…
What would life be
like if we lived in a
place where
everyone looked
similar, held
similar beliefs,
and behaved in
similar ways?
In other words,

Would you want to live in a world populated by
7 Billion of you?

I don‘t think so... I think you might become a bit bored with
yourself after a few weeks...

But let‘s take that idea even further:

The different memes, or levels of consciousness, provide
contrast — variety and diversity, which in turn, provides a
context from which to define and experience life.

And what is the purpose of life?

The expansion of consciousness through experience.

How could you define
‗hot‘
if ‗cold‘ didn‘t exist?

How could you
appreciate the
euphoric experience
of love if its opposite
did not exist?

You couldn‘t.
For there would be no
context from which to
define, compare or
experience it.

Furthermore, in order for evolution to occur, there must be
something higher to evolve to and something lower to evolve
from. Therefore:

We live in a world of duality, of opposites –
and these opposites have a higher purpose.

They provide a context and contrast which in turn, creates
an environment where we can make choices
and then experience those choices.

And if we discover that we have made a bad choice,
we can choose again —
and thus evolve.
Can you see how valuable this information is?
For it enables us to understand why people
think, believe and behave the way they do.
And interestingly, the premise of ever-evolving stages of
development was also found in a
2,500 year old Essene document which states:

―What is Truth? For the same things appear different to different
minds, and even to the same mind at different times. What then
is Truth?... To men Truth is revealed according to their
capacity to understand and receive. The one truth hath many
sides, and one seeth one side only, another another, and some
see more than others, according as it is given to them.... That
which appeareth true to some, seemeth not true to others. They
who are in the valley see not as they who are on the hilltop.
But to each, it is the truth as the one mind seeth, and for that
time, till a higher truth shall be revealed unto the same.‖
— The Gospel of the Holy Twelve

In another excerpt
from the Essenes we
are told:

―God giveth you all Truth as a ladder with many steps for
the salvation and perfection of the soul, and the truth
which seemeth today, ye will abandon for the higher truth
of the morrow.... As I have received the Truth, so I have
given it to you. Let each receive it according to their light
and ability to understand, and persecute not those who
receive it after a different interpretation.‖
— The Gospel of the Holy Twelve
The Essene New Testament

As you can see, the ever-expanding nature of truth,
or the evolution of consciousness, has been around for a long
long time. So, now that you have an idea of how evolution
unfolds on an individual basis, let‘s explore how it unfolds
collectively:

Just as you and I progress through the various memes in
our personal evolution, the same is true of humanity.
However, our collective evolution differs
in one way for there is always…

one dominant meme which holds the seat of power.

This meme is at the helm of mankind‘s
evolution and will remain in power
until we have completed our lessons in
that meme.

How do we know when we have completed our lessons?

When we are able to acknowledge the incongruities that exist within
our current dominant meme: when we can recognize that solutions
touted by this meme are ineffective and those in power are willing
to compromise their integrity in order to preserve their power, we
are then ready to graduate to the next meme.

To illustrate how Humankind transitions from one meme to the
next, let‘s take a look at history.

Religion was the
dominant meme
for hundreds of
years.
But when people
discovered that
―express tickets to
heaven‖ were
being sold to the
highest bidder,

and that the church was taking a strong stance on scientifically
invalid ―facts,‖ such as the sun revolves around the Earth,
incongruities were illuminated within religion.

At that point in the 17th century, people became rather
uncomfortable and began looking for another source from which
to understand life; a source which would provide meaningful
solutions to life‘s problems. And the baton of power was then
passed to…

Science and
Technology…
which has reigned
ever since that time.

The next requirement for graduating to the next
stage of evolution?

All aspects of our being: body, mind, and spirit,
must be balanced.

Therefore, if we‘re evolving more rapidly in the technological
and scientific arena, the mind,
and lagging in our spiritual growth,
an imbalance will result.

And that‘s where we find ourselves today, for we currently have a
number of imbalances in our collective being.

How do we identify an imbalance?

An imbalance first appears as a
small problem. If that problem
is not resolved, it becomes a bigger problem.
And if the problem is still not resolved,
it eventually becomes a catastrophe where we
are then forced to deal with it.

Therefore, before any large-scale tragedy
occurs, less critical events
will precede it.

These events have a higher purpose…

they are warnings, alerting us of an imbalance
which must be resolved.

In the case of the tragedies of September 11, the bombing of the
SS Cole as well as the embassy bombings in Africa preceded
these events, did they not?

However, because we are currently unaware of the higher
purpose of these less critical events,
we typically don‘t take decisive action until something
catastrophic occurs.

And this poses a serious problem today. For during the process
of ―Purification,‖ smaller critical events are inevitable.
They serve to illuminate the imbalances in our collective being –
issues that must be resolved. Therefore, if we ignore these events,
regardless of where they are occurring in our world, the potential
for catastrophe grows greater and greater. The bottom line?

Until we recognize the higher purpose of adverse experiences,
we will continue to experience tragedy.

Why?
From our current state of consciousness…

Critical events provide
the discomfort necessary to promote evolution.

“Accelerated evolution is made possible by exaggerated polarity
– an opportunity for humankind to explore a new understanding
of the nature of all reality.‖
— PATRICIA CORI

Now that you are aware of the significance of the time we are
now living and have a greater awareness of the bigger picture —
the process of evolution and how it unfolds — and understand the
importance of addressing smaller critical events before they
become catastrophes,
we will now move onto Section 3 and explore:

SECTION 3

The Most Formidable
and Unsuspecting
Threat Now Facing Humanity

Where is this
threat coming
from?

And though that may
sound preposterous to
some, many
individuals who we
deem as credible
have recognized this
threat, but their
warnings have, thus
far, been ignored.

―I believe that human survival in the face of the threat of
nuclear holocaust and the devastation of our natural
environment, will be possible only if we are able to
radically change the methods and values underlying our
science and technology.‖
— DR. Fritjof Capra
The Tao of Physics

―As we stand at the brink of a second nuclear age and at the
onset of unprecedented climate change, our way of thinking
about the uses and control of technologies must change to
prevent unspeakable destruction and future human suffering.‖
— Kennette Benedict
Atomic Scientist executive director

―We‘ve arranged a global
civilization in which most crucial
elements profoundly depend on
science and technology. We‘ve
also arranged things so that
almost no one understands
science or technology. We might
get away with it for a while, but
sooner or later, this combustible
mixture of ignorance and power
is going to blow up in our faces.‖
— Carl sagaN

―One of humanity‘s constant nightmares has been that
technological growth...has always run ahead of...growth in
wisdom, care, and compassionate use of that technology. In
other words, exterior development has run ahead of interior
development.‖
— Dr. Ken Wilber
