CULTURAL EVENTS

Transition Initiatives is a positive, empowered response to the challenges of our times. Initiated in the UK in 2006, already this approach to the critical necessity of RELOCALISING is gaining momentum worldwide. 50 communities have begun working with this model for their transition to more sustainable, more fulfilling, more socially connected and more equitable lifestyles; at least 700 communities around the world are currently investigating what the Transition Initiatives commitment REALLY MEANS. Check out “the head, heart and hands” of this Transition Model at http://transitionculture.org and also the list and activities of “communities that have adopted the Transition Model for responding to the twin challenges of Peak Oil and Climate Change” at www.transitiontowns.org/

Blessed Unrest is a book by environmentalist and social activist Paul Hawken about how the ‘world is busy saving itself’. Through its awe-inspiring examination of the form, scale and consequence of social and environmental activism worldwide, this book invigorates readers with hope and determination. It is a ‘celebration of the awakening of the human spirit’, showing how - as participants in the largest movement ever, ‘collectively we can - and are - changing the world’. Blessed Unrest portrays the massive groundswell of humanity’s genius and compassion as nothing less than the story of the Earth’s own immune system hard at work… as ‘the civil society movement reveals itself as the action that has replaced the talk’. David Suzuki writes: Read this book and shout “Hallelujah!” www.blessedunrest.com

The Global Oneness Project
Naked before the unmistakable signs that our current way of life is no longer sustainable, the Global Oneness Project travels the globe documenting the upsurge of a great planet-wide transformation. From Ahmedabad to L.A., from the Andes to Uluru, Global Oneness Project films show the diverse ways that the understanding of oneness – the sense of ‘responsibility to each other, the earth and future generations’ - is being expressed in our time. The Project portrays the changing fabric of society - in the fields of sustainability, conflict resolution, spirituality, art, economics, indigenous culture, and social justice. Believing that ‘free exchanges of information allow for greater, collective creative potential’ and that ‘love, care and compassion have the power to transform’ our world, and in the hope that others will be inspired ‘to create solutions to personal and community challenges from their own lived understanding of oneness’, Global Oneness Project films are licensed under creative commons and are freely available from their website for non-commercial purposes. www.globalonenessproject.org

WiserEarth : “Towards a just and Sustainable World Created by Community” WiserEarth serves the people who are transforming the world. It is a community directory and networking forum that maps and connects non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and individuals addressing the central issues of our day: climate change, poverty, the environment, peace, water, hunger, social justice, conservation, human rights and more.

The following entries are for those opening to Ancient Wisdom and New Age Awareness, for those who are stretching beyond the limited confines of modern materialist empiricism…

World Council of Elders
Many cycles are coming full circle. The pieces of the puzzle are coming back together. The traditional indigenous wisdom-keepers are gathering in council all across the globe. The prophecies, ancient stories and teachings of their peoples tell them that now is a time of critical choices. The Elders, who have carried the wisdom of their peoples for millennia, are now willing to share their sacred teachings and healing knowledge to restore the balance of life on Earth.” From the World Council of Elders: “We are living in a very special time of transformation long prophesied by the wisdom-keepers or Elders of the world’s indigenous peoples. Our human family has an unprecedented opportunity for reawakening our connection with all life, restoring balance with the natural environment and each other. Therefore, many Elders are now willing to come forward to share their ancient, yet timeless wisdom for the benefit of our precious planet and to preserve the future for our children.” www.worldcouncilofelders.net/

Infinity Point 2012
Some mathematicians plotted the asymptotic graphs of all of humanity’s technological developments and projected them out to the point where they all, relatively simultaneously, hit infinity. The day that they arrived at is December 21st, 2012. www.sculptors.com/~salsbury/Articles/singularity.html

The Oneness Commitment represents a world-wide consecration to the awakening of humanity by 2012. Initiated with Global Meditation and Prayer Link Ups during the Venus Transit of 2004, the Oneness Commitment considers the 8 year period between the 2004 and 2012 Transits of Venus as a profound Window of Opportunity - hence the Commitment. www.experiencefestival.com/oneness_commitment

Pachacuti ~ Incan Prophecy Fulfilled
The 2nd Latin American Humanist Forum was held in Bolivia in November, 2007. The event brought many people together from around the planet. Prior to the Forum, a ceremony was held at the sacred site of Tiwanaku. The Mayor of Tiwanaku, concluding the ceremony, shared a local prophecy that affirmed: “When people of different colors and places get together in [Tiwanaku], it will [mark] a new cycle – ‘Pachacuti’ - a new age.” For many, the ceremony was the fulfilment of that prophecy. www.tortuga.com/portal/node/2057

The Shift Is Happening Now: There are many quantifiable scientific indicators proving that the Earth and the Solar System are going through changes which have never previously occurred in recorded human history. …Gregg Braden …became intrigued …when he was working for Phillips Petroleum in the late 1970s and noticed that the magnetics of the earth were at their lowest point in 2000 years and decreasing at a rapid rate… According to Gregg: “The speculation is that there is a correlation between consciousness and magnetics. In order to understand how this connection might work, it is useful to compare it to a computer’s memory. The magnetic fields in the memory are held in place through an electrical charge - a trickle charge - within the computer itself. When the batteries in the computer die, the charge is gone, and the memory is lost. We have to reload the operating system. [It is suggested] “…that when the earth goes through.. a magnetic reversal, it also will be a great shift and cleansing of the earth’s consciousness. There will be nothing holding all the magnetic patterns that have been put in place. So when we awaken from this shift, what becomes consciousness will be our truest nature, our truest essence.” www.crawford2000.co.uk/braden1.htm

What’s up on Planet Earth?
Many individuals riding the swelling wave of the planetary shift appreciate Karen Bishop’s regular ’status reports’ or ‘Energy Alerts’. Her website: What’s Up On Planet Earth? provides insights into where we are heading, how we will get there, and what we can do to stay in alignment as we move into new and higher ways of being… www.whatsuponplanetearth.com/

“When we really and truly know who we are at the highest levels, we can easily become clear about what our purpose is, or more importantly, what our passion is.
…the earth is the location where this grand process of evolution and expansion is occurring… It is through the earth that we can access these higher states. She is the doorway and the portal, as well as the self…” www.whatsuponplanetearth.com/SAbook.htm

“The 7th Golden Age manifesting before us is the fulfillment of the Divine Plan, which promises to create a new heaven and a new earth. Awakening to unity with the one creative source, humans are to be the co-creators of an age of love, peace and abundance. Our consciousness is becoming one with the mind and heart of God…”

The 11:11 Doorway is a twenty year portal – opened in 1992 and closing in 2012. This is a Portal of Transformation – from duality to unity consciousness. As Solara, its visionary, affirms : ‘One Being, and only One Being, will walk through this Doorway.’ You can assist this initiative by participating in annual link ups. www.nvisible.com/1111/1111Doorway.html

The Mayan Calendar
From the team working with the Mayan Teachings of Jose Arguelles: “Great discoveries occur because the time demands them. The more urgent the need, the more necessary is the discovery. The Law of Time was unearthed to facilitate an unprecedented shift in human consciousness. Only by such a shift can the global crisis be resolved and surmounted.

“By 2012, according to the Law of Time, we must be ready for this shift, the unparalleled transition into the next stage of our evolution, the noosphere …[that is,] attainment of a unified field of planetary consciousness. …[O]ne preliminary step is to change the human macroprogram - the calendar. The most practical application of the Law of Time is the Thirteen Moon/28-day calendar. With this elegant tool, the Law of Time lays the foundation for the reformulation of the human mind… Whoever you are, whatever your beliefs, if your cause is for a just future, a regenerated planetary environment, peace, spiritual unity and the furtherance of art and culture, then join with us in the excitement of participating in the discovery and creation of a New Time of Peace on planet Earth.

“A calendar is a macroprogramming device, it holds in place all of the established beliefs and customs of a society or culture. To replace one calendar with another one is a revolutionary act. It is an act of changing time, of going from one time to another. Hence to change the calendar today is the opportunity for calling the old game over…” Changing to the 13 Moon / 28 Day Calendar represents a return to the natural timing frequency or synchronic order - i.e., the actual nature of reality in which all phenomena are in synchronicity with each other. And so we may enter … the new time of harmony. www.lawoftime.org/

ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS

According to Dan Eden writing for ViewZone: Infra red technology reveals that we are NOT from the Milky Way Galaxy: we are from a satellite of the Milky Way Galaxy called the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy!! We - of the overarching Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy have finally come down next to and even with the massively powerful spiral armed equatorial plane of the Milky Way Galaxy. In our movement through space, our Earth has now fully begun to respond to the more powerful galactic energies and electro-gravitational bias of the massive Milky Way. We have reached the higher energy equatorial disc region of the massive spiral arm. We have now been “adopted” by a new system, a stronger and more powerful system, and we can expect changes on almost every level of energy… Enjoy the pics and animations on this site and scroll down the page for data on the climate changes now happening on all the planets of our solar system! www.viewzone.com/milkyway.html

While not naming the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy as our home galaxy, Wikipedia corroborates many points made in the ViewZone article: The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy (SagDEG) is a …satellite galaxy of the Milky Way Galaxy. …discoveries by astrophysics teams from both the University of Virginia and the University of Massachusetts, drawing upon the 2MASS Two-Micron All Sky Infrared Survey data, revealed the entire loop-shaped structure. In 2003 with the aid of infrared telescopes, and super computers, [scientists] …were able to …distinguish the full Sagittarius Dwarf presence, position, and looping shape …and found [it]… to be at a near right angle to the plane of the Milky Way. …the main parent cluster is on the opposite side of the galactic core from Earth… …the extended looped shaped ellipse is actually even now extended around and through our local space and on through the Milky Way galactic disc in process of slowly being absorbed into the larger galaxy, calculated at 10,000 times the mass of Sag DEG. At first, many astronomers thought that Sag DEG had already reached an advanced state of destruction, so that a large part of its original matter was already mixed with that of the Milky Way. However, Sag DEG still has coherence as a dispersed elongated ellipse, and appears to move in a roughly polar orbit around the Milky Way… …some astronomers contend that Sag DEG has been in orbit around the Milky Way for some billions of years, and has already orbited it around ten times. Its ability to retain some coherence despite such strains would indicate an unusually high concentration of dark matter within that galaxy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_Dwarf_Elliptical_Galaxy

From ABC Science News: …in the frozen outer reaches of our solar system Australian researchers have found “debris of the birth of our solar system”… So far about 1000 large bodies, including Pluto and the recently discovered Xena, have been located in the ‘Kuiper belt’ – as well as many objects ranging in size from 300 metres to one kilometre …. The original estimate of some 100 billion objects in the belt is now known to represent only a fraction of what’s there… www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s1696218.htm Note: This research was carried out using fiber optics technology. It does not connect its findings to Dan Eden’s conclusions based on the research on the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy (SagDEG) using the infra red technology… but IF both the so-called Kuiper Belt and the Sag DEG are in fact our nascent home - well, they must be one and the same! Yes?

Is Dan Eden onto it or not? Check the diagrams accompanying the suggestion that our solar system is drifting down, down, down… and on December 21st, 2012, becomes exactly level with the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy… After 2012, if we are still here, we will be passing through the bottom zone, viewing the Milky Way from the South. www.viewzone.com/endtime.html

“The date December 21st, 2012 A.D. (13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count), represents an extremely close conjunction of the Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator (the plane of the Milky Way) and our solar system’s Ecliptic …’ Concurrently, the sun will be directly aligned with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy… www.greatdreams.com/2012.htm

By means of satellite instrumentation, astronomers in 1961 discovered what appeared to be an unusual nebula. Named the Golden Nebula… it was realized that this nebula’s location was coincident with the projected orbit of our solar system. Around the early 1980s a radio announcement in the U.S. was made (heard by the author) that our solar system was, in fact, going to collide with an ‘electromagnetic cloud’ in the not too distant future… What is this electromagnetic cloud… Its more universal designation is ‘photon belt’ or ‘photon band’… Overall a toroid or doughnut-shaped cloud, the Photon Belt is an immense region of space which is radiating intense electromagnetic radiation throughout the visible spectrum and beyond, into high-frequency invisible light; even including some x-ray spectra. It is part of a magnetic flow of light… The Pleiades, about 400 light years from us, is encircled by this photon belt. Our solar system traverses an orbit around the central sun of the Pleiades, Alcyone, every 24,000 years or so, twice entering the Photon Belt during this cycle. The information indicates that Earth is now entering the belt, but does not enter fully until 2012. www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~noelh/photonbelt.htm

…the Photon Belt and the accompanying manasic radiation are scientific terms for a spectacular coming event… Science first admitted knowledge of this phenomenon in 1962, 33 years ago! Our passage through the Photon Belt occurs twice during the procession of our Solar System around the Central Sun, Alcione, of the Pleiades. This counter-clockwise cyclic procession around Alcione requires 25,860 years to make one complete orbit. Our present-day sun, moon, and planets must twice pass through the Photon Belt during this time, that is, once to the North and once to the South… www.2012.com.au/Photon_belt.html
