DUTCH INTRODUCTION NEW!! This website has been set up as a data-base for information about the year 2012 ( not including Olympic games and political candidates for elections and similar trivia). In the next few years, there is bound to be speculation over the possible meaning of the so-called "end of the Mayan calendar", and there are already various theories circulating, from the catastrophic to the ecstatic. In 1999, I started circulating a booklet called Beyond 2012, listing information, theories and ideas from diverse sources which predict 2012 as an evolutionary pinnacle; a leap in consciousness; a dimensional shift; an end of linear time; an encounter with an asteroid; mass genetic mutation from solar or cosmic rays; etc. The ideas come from scientists, artists, mystics, alternative Egyptologists, prophets, divinatory systems, shamanic psychonauts, mythology, and Mesoamerican research. It was designed to be a brief, easy-to-read summary, with references, to promote more research. Although much of the information collated in Beyond 2012 has been produced to try and explain the Mayan end-point, some of it originated before the Mayan Long Count was known about, outside archaeological circles. For example, the McKenna brothers, who found a complex fractal "timewave" encoded in the ancient Chinese I Ching oracle, discovered its 2012-termination point several years before they heard anything about the Mayan Long Count. I had read and studied the McKennas' work several years before I had heard that the Mayan Long Count ended in 2012, and it was this synchronicity which made 2012 an area of urgent research for me. Here is a more detailed account;
2012: THE EMERGENCE OF AN ENIGMA
I first became fascinated with 2012 in 1981,
when I heard about a book by Terrence and Dennis McKenna, called The Invisible
Landscape. It took me 10 months to get hold of the book, and I had to read it
twice before I began to understand it, after becoming more acquainted with
advanced neurochemistry.
For those of you who may not know the story:
In 1971, the McKenna brothers went down to a remote part of the Amazon jungle
to investigate rumours that the shamans performed magic using a "violet
psychofluid" - a kind of ectoplasm which pours from all orifices and the
skin, following ingestion of a hallucinogenic brew called ayahuasca (only
visible to others who've taken the brew). They ended up taking a different
combination of sacred plants, but which contained the same active ingredients
as ayahuasca - dimethyltryptamine, and harmine (a beta-carboline) - both of
which are closely related to the natural secretions of the pineal gland
(especially in advanced meditators).
After a shared hallucinatory episode, the
brothers returned to the USA to develop the insights they had in the Amazon.
They were convinced that the ancient Chinese oracle - the I Ching, or Book of
Changes - worked because it was a mathematically coded form of the time
wave system that underlies change in the universe. The I Ching is a group of
64 six-line structures called hexagrams, which show all combinations of Yin and
Yang (like + and - ). Another researcher - Martin Schonberger, in 1973, found
an exact correspondence between the 64 hexagrams and the 64 codons in our
DNA, at the same time as the brothers worked on advanced neurochemical theories to explain
how the chemistry system worked, by which they had accessed knowledge stored
in their nuclear DNA.
Eventually, they found a complex fractal
wave, where each level is 64 times greater than the one below, consisting of
26 levels, which describes all change in the universe, from sub-atomic event
durations, up to a universe-length time-span. When they analysed the peaks and
troughs of history, and lined up the Timewave over the wave of history, they
found that the end of the wave, when all the sub-waves peak together, will be
in the year 2012 !! At the time they discovered this, THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE MAYAN
CALENDAR, or that the Long Count ends in 2012. The Invisible Landscape was
published in 1975, and knowledge of the Mayan calendar did not become
widespread until 1987, when Jose Arguelles published The Mayan Factor. Having
heard about this later, the McKennas published a new version of the Invisible
Landscape in 1993, in which the Timewave was refined to end on the winter
solstice, along with the Long Count.
The Timewave ("Timewave Zero") was
criticized by a mathematician called Watkins, and then checked and corrected
by a nuclear physicist called
John
Sheliak, so that the new "Timewave One"
fitted history even better (see Hyperborea for more
details).
More recently, it has been discovered that
the Mayan shamans actually used the same mushroom which the McKennas took,
leading to knowledge of 2012 in both cases.
The end of the wave shows "ingression
of novelty into spacetime" or change, accelerating to incredible levels.
To paraphrase Robert Anton Wilson's summary; the last 384-day cycle contains
more transformations than in all previous cycles - below that is a 6-day
cycle, when things accelerate even faster, and in the last 135 minutes, 18
barriers comparable with the appearance of life, or the invention of language,
will be crossed - 13 of these will occur in the last second.
At this point, since McKenna had
demonstrated that the I Ching was once actually used as a calendar, I began to
wonder if there were any other ancient calendrical systems, or knowledge
systems which also encoded the knowledge, and began writing reams of notes,
which developed into essays - (must be careful this doesn't become one!)
Megalithic sites were used for calendrical purposes, and several, such as
Newgrange in Ireland, are aligned to the winter solstice sunrise....then
there's the Tarot, from which we get our 4x13=52 packs of playing cards (4
seasons of 13 weeks = a 52-week year) - some say it has Egyptian origins -
could that have encoded 2012 too?
When the Bible Code was published -
apparently a third independent ancient encoded source of 2012 info (Earth
meets shattered comet), I condensed my "Omega Pointers" into
summary paragraphs, with references, and started getting the information out
there for others to get their teeth into. In 1999, the handouts had become
an A4 booklet, "Beyond 2012 - a Convergence of Eschatological
Information". In Autumn 2000, I added a "Pre-millennial
Supplement", and did a couple of presentations on the
material.
In 2000, the internet really started kicking off, and this is the obvious place to share information, so 2012: Dire Gnosis will be the morphing, on-line version of BEYOND 2012, (though Beyond 2012 is now available in book form). A version you can interact with. YES, please donate your info., and I will give you the credit, as I add it to the data-base. You MUST see the 2012 Links page - a guide to over 300 internet sites, all 2012-related !
Remember (to paraphrase Wilson again), in
order to keep an open mind, and not censor any information to bolster our
favorite theory, we should, once a week, seriously consider the most absurd
and preposterous theories.
There will hopefully be no bias here; all ideas will be reported, though opposing viewpoints may also be quoted.
