Timewave 2012
http://www.timewave2012.com/

The Singularity, the Quickening, the Cosmogenesis, a period of exponential change - the New Age, the New World Order, Times of High Strangeness, the Hunab Ku, Kali Yuga, I Ching, ancient prophecies and predictions - it seems that we are witnessing the culmination of a Global Paradigm Shift.

This is a time where technological and global changes are happening faster than we can track them. The convergence of science and 'metaphysics' is gathering towards some kind of critical mass. Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence are on the cutting edge of Accelerating Change.

Is the human race evolving into some kind of 'biotech' hybrid? Or has Nature outpaced us? Is the 'roar of approaching cataracts' of our own making - or is it simply the clockwork of the Cosmos?

This group focuses on the Mayan Long Count and Terence McKenna's Time Wave Zero, both of which culminate on Dec. 21, 2012 - but other topics are frequently discussed.

But back to the question - are we heading for a Singularity? Physical evidence points to the facts that the earth's magnetic field has weakened by 8% in the past 150 years, the sun's coronal magnetic flux has doubled in the past century, and the magnetic north pole has moved 1,000 km in the past 100 years. The last sunspot cycle ended with two of the biggest flares in history, and the second highest sunspot count on record. The next solar max will be in 2012, the year of the Global Shift, the extinction of Time Wave Zero, the end of the Mayan Long Count. Where will you be in 2012?

For all club members both new and old who are wondering - "What's this club all about - what's so special about 2012?" This is my attempt to summarize what I have uncovered so far. We appear to be in a time in the earth's history where not only are both human and geological events are speeding up, but the rate at which they are speeding up is speeding up. It's fractal time. At the current rate, the next 10 years will bring about changes so rapidly that we will experience a GLOBAL PARADIGM SHIFT. There is a virtual mountain of evidence out there - and I mean it's HUGE! - both physical and metaphysical, some credible and some incredible, that suggests we are approaching an unprecedented breakthrough on a planetary scale. Some views are cataclysmic, others are a bit more rosy. The truth may lie somewhere in between... First, the metaphysical evidence: As part of his Novelty Theory, the late Terence McKenna devised a graph which attempted to quantify history by plotting 'novelty' and 'habit' against time - as far back as 7 billion years. This graph, which he referred to as "the eschaton mathematically formalized," is generally known as Time Wave Zero or Fractal Time. The graph shows history repeating itself in ever-decreasing intervals until the last several billion years are compressed into a mere fraction of a second as we fall over the lip of the event horizon. I have provided a link where you can download a free copy of the program. Although his criteria were rather subjective, the graph nevertheless shows an interesting correlation between sudden increases in novelty and mass extinctions. The graph has been extensively analyzed, with mixed reactions. He has his supporters and detractors, but regardless of whether the Time Wave is empirically sound or not, his Novelty Theory is both compelling and elegant. The most interesting thing about the TWZ graph, however, is that it predicts that novelty will become immeasurably great on December 21, 2012. Apparently this end-date was discovered before Terence became aware that the Mayan Long Count of 5,125 years ended on the same date - winter solstice of 2012.

Now, about Mayan Time. The best source for this is John Major Jenkins, author of Mayan Cosmogenesis. The Mayan method of reckoning time is amazingly intricate and accurate, and even accounts for the precession of the equinoxes. There are many highly educated and scholarly people who study the Mayan calendar - there is even an Institute of Maya Studies in Miami, Florida. Those who dismiss scholars of the Maya calendar as flakes are either grievously misinformed or lacking in knowledge. Jenkins believes that human civilization is passing through an era of great transformation. "When the solstice meridian [aligns with] the Galactic [Center - on December 21, 2012], a rare era in the earth's journey is engaged. How does this affect human society? Maybe it sets the stage for earthquakes and volcanoes and pole shifts and so forth – the recurring Atlantean cataclysm mythos may be based in this 26,000 cycle... My own ideal scenario is that we hear the message that the alignment expresses... The winter solstice meridian [on December 21, 2012] will coincide with the Galactic [Center of] the Milky Way... There are two more celestial features right near where the sun will be on the end-date in 2012 A.D.: 1). The'dark rift' which the Maya call 'the road to the underworld.' This is a dark area running along part of the Milky Way caused by interstellar dust clouds; and 2) The Galactic Center. In many mythological contexts, the 'dark-rift' is understood to be the birth canal of the Great Mother, the Milky Way. It is the birth place of the next World Age. The celestial cross defined by the Milky Way crossing over the ecliptic is also important, and this was recently identified by Mayan scholar Linda Schele as the Mayan Sacred Tree. The heart of the four-directional symbolism is the fifth direction, the center. This is the navel and source of creation. And again, the 'dark-rift' runs through all these features." I disagree with Mr. Jenkins on the alignment of the solstice meridian with the galactic equator. I believe it is actually an alignment with the galactic CENTER. For this reason I have exercised some editorial license in the above quote (shown in square brackets).

Scott Mandelker, Ph.D.: Dr. Mandelker discusses, among other things, exponential changes taking place in our solar system culminating in a "Global Shift" on or before 2012. "As I see it, the end of this century and the beginning of the next will treat us to both: an unprecedented, rapid decay of current civilization followed by an equally stupendous rebirth, with long-term implications beyond our wildest dreams. Ultimately, I also expect wondrous things for Earth and her people, but before that happens, a profound Dark Night of the Soul will shake humanity to its roots. In the language of Wall Street, I think we can look forward to some major 'corrections' on many levels: personal, collective, and metaphysical." More at (http://www.universal-vision.com) David Wilcock: "We strive to completely redefine human scientific understanding by proposing an integrated zero-point energy or 'aether' cosmology, backed with credible experimental research evidence. In this model, anti-gravity and free energy technologies are easily explainable. Furthermore, this new cosmology can clearly and scientifically prove that a dimensional shift will occur on Earth on or before 2012. This work is not "channeled" material - it comes from years of our director David Wilcock's rigorous scientific and metaphysical research. This multi-disciplinary information, featured in the Convergence series, is tantamount to the"Holy Grail" of New Age teachings, and is of enormous religious and scientific significance to humanity.

We will not experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century; rather we will witness on the order of 20,000 years of progress... Accelerating technology will lead to superhuman machine intelligence that will soon exceed human intelligence, probably by the year 2030. The results on the other side of the 'event horizon' are unpredictable."

Now for the Physical evidence: The earth's magnetic north pole has migrated 1,000 km north in the past 100 years (http://www.geolab.nrcan.gc.ca/geomag/e_nmpole.html) The earth's magnetic field has been weakening for the past 2,000 years (http://earth.agu.org/sci_soc/hoffman.html), and has weakened by 8% in the past 150 years (http://www.zetatalk.com/theword/tworx365.htm ). If we assume a weakening of 1% every 19 years, this means that it would now be less than zero - so it must have been more rapid in the past 150 years. In other words, things are accelerating! The sun's coronal magnetic flux has doubled in the past century (http://www.wdc.rl.ac.uk/wdcc1/papers/nature.html ) The last sunspot cycle ended with a bang, with THE most powerful flare ever (an X-20 class CME on April 15, 2001) and the second highest sunspot number in the past 400 years (http://www.spaceweather.com)Okay, there you go people - I've done my homework! Now it's up to you to explore these sites and decide for yourself - are we in for something BIG or not??? My conclusion is that yes, I see time and change accelerating immensely in the following decade. We all know we are on the accretion disk, we just can't see beyond the lip of the event horizon. But I think it will be something that will utterly revolutionize science. The Age of Science will come to an end - not to the end that it is invalidated, but to the end that it becomes a useful tool in a realm of consciousness where the soul is openly acknowledged, and intelligence is much more clearly experienced.
