It left me breathless, unable to speak for years. The last time I died it was not a textbook experience.

The brain stems are an area of the brain that controls basic life support functions.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">According to Dr James Bernat, a Neurologist at Dartmouth College's Geisel </span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">School of Medicine in New Hampshire, the advent of the mechanical ventilator, which pushes air into and out of the lungs, necessitated a new category, called “brain death.”</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">Brain death is medically defined as "irreversible unconsciousness with complete loss of brain function", although the heartbeat and respiration may continue.

And despite its frequent occurrence, the term "clinical death" doesn't actually have a consistent meaning. Dr Bernat told Live Science, “In most hospitals, the doctor in charge of a patient's care makes the death determination, and there aren't universal guidelines for when to make that call”. Adding that, "You're dead when a doctor says you're dead."</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">A Doctor had said I was dead – on two occasions.

Some beat death. They return from the dead following illness or trauma, which left them breathless, without a pulse or neural activity for minutes at a time, with remarkable stories.

In an interview on ABC's 7:30 Report, Packer said of his experience, “Believe me, there is nothing on the other side. I’ve been there.” Stating that “The good news is there’s no devil. The bad news is there’s no heaven. There’s nothing.”</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">In contrast to Mr Packer's, my own experience was everything but nothing. In one sliver of a moment blackness consumed the world around me. I was skimming almost imperceptible, or maybe just ineffable layers of … something enveloping Earth. I could feel the tension of each as I pushed against it. Kind of like pushing your finger into a balloon-sized soap bubble. Just as you feel the tension of the membrane against your finger, it bursts. Except these layers would self-repair as soon as I was through them, closing behind me like an automatic gate.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">I was expanding, reaching out of time. I lifted as if from a moist cocoon, soaring, shining. Opening to the light; the light that was itself reaching for the Sun.

I experienced these lives. Not mine. Other people’s, yet somehow familiar. Lives of dead people. Lives of unborn people. I saw probabilities lurking in forgotten moments and histories played out in some other space and time; I saw futures that slumbered in pregnant pauses and dreams pushing out through bubbles of wishful thinking. The link with my physical matter tugged and extinguished the limits of my mortal consciousness.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">All emotions possible coagulated around and inside of me, dispersing me everywhere and yet leaving my I subsumed. The doors of perception opened. The shape of truth arrived. Time was no longer an unattainable prospect—it swallowed itself, the days, and the eons. I was in a world outside of yesterday and beyond tomorrow. I was All and I was everywhere. If you know the feeling - this state of heightened consciousness—there is no mistaking it.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">I was overwhelmed.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">In the illusionary bliss of human ignorance, such a scenario, as wild and strange as it seems, is barely enough to convey the dismantling of my preconceptions.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it’s different. Consider again that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every ‘superstar,’ every ‘supreme leader,’ every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity — in all this vastness — there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known, so far, to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.</span></div>

<br />
In short, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineal_gland" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Pineal gland</a><span style="text-align: left;"> or the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_eye" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">Third Eye</a><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajna_chakra" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">chakra</a> is the SoulGate<span class="commentBody" data-jsid="text">.</span><br />
<br />
This word made itself known to me in 1996. For ten days in a row, as I walked to my car from the office, the word '<i>downloaded</i>' from somewhere and would buzz around in my head for the few minutes it took me to get to the car. It meant nothing to me at the time. Yet, I knew I had to pay attention.<br />
<br />
So I began using it as a username for various accounts, registered it as a business name for my consulting practice and a few years later, also as a Trade Mark.<br />
<br />
Strangely, it is only in the last week or so (since people began queering its meaning) that I actually clearly understood.<br />
<br />
And the answer is as banal as it is simple: <span style="color: #20124d;"><b>SoulGate is the doorway through which the Conscious Light energy - commonly referred to as the soul - <i>engages</i> with the physical body to give it life.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="commentBody" data-jsid="text">Although the Crown Chakra is where the Conscious Light Energy enters the body, it is in the Pineal where it creates the 1st vortex which in turn sets the others into motion down the spine. It is the doorway to our<span class="text_exposed_show"> Higher Self. Meditating on the 3rd Eye turns our perception from this 3D reality, toward the 5th Dimension, where the Higher Self - the Soul - resides.</span></span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><br />
<br />
As simple as this <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditation" target="_blank">meditation</a> may be, and as some would like you to believe, it is not at all a straight forward concept to implement. There are many elements, including:<br />

They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world right now. It is true, one has to have strong cojones and ovarios to withstand much of what passes for "good" in our culture today. Abject disregard of what the soul finds most precious and irreplaceable and the corruption of principled ideals have become, in some large societal arenas, "the new normal," the grotesquerie of the week. It is hard to say which one of the current egregious matters has rocked people's worlds and beliefs more. Ours is a time of almost daily jaw-dropping astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people.</span></blockquote>

<span style="color: #444444;">...You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking. Yet ... I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is — we were made for these times. Yes. For years, we have been learning, practising, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement. I cannot tell you often enough that we are definitely the leaders we have been waiting for, and that we have been raised since childhood for this time precisely.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">...I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able crafts in the waters than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind. I would like to take your hands for a moment and assure you that you are built well for these times. Despite your stints of doubt, your frustrations in arighting all that needs change right now, or even feeling you have lost the map entirely, you are not without resource, you are not alone. Look out over the prow; there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you. In your deepest bones, you have always known this is so. Even though your veneers may shiver from every wave in this stormy roil, I assure you that the long timbers composing your prow and rudder come from a greater forest. That long-grained lumber is known to withstand storms, to hold together, to hold its own, and to advance, regardless.</span></blockquote>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">...We have been in training for a dark time such as this, since the day we assented to come to Earth. For many decades, worldwide, souls just like us have been felled and left for dead in so many ways over and over — brought down by naiveté, by lack of love, by suddenly realizing one deadly thing or another, by not realizing something else soon enough, by being ambushed and assaulted by various cultural and personal shocks in the extreme. We have a history of being gutted, and yet remember this especially ... we have also, of necessity, perfected the knack of resurrection. Over and over again we have been the living proof that that which has been exiled, lost, or foundered — can be restored to life again. This is as true and sturdy a prognosis for the destroyed worlds around us as it was for our own once mortally wounded selves.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">...Though we are not invulnerable, our risibility supports us to laugh in the face of cynics who say "fat chance," and "management before mercy," and other evidences of complete absence of soul sense. This, and our having been to Hell and back on at least one momentous occasion, makes us seasoned vessels for certain. Even if you do not feel that you are, you are. Even if your puny little ego wants to contest the enormity of your soul, that smaller self can never for long subordinate the larger Self. In matters of death and rebirth, you have surpassed the benchmarks many times. Believe the evidence of any one of your past testings and trials. Here it is: Are you still standing? The answer is, Yes! (And no adverbs like "barely" are allowed here). If you are still standing, ragged flags or no, you are able. Thus, you have passed the bar. And even raised it. You are seaworthy.</span> </blockquote>

Do not focus on that. Do not make yourself ill with overwhelm. There is a tendency too to fall into being weakened by persevering on what is outside your reach, by what cannot yet be. Do not focus there. That is spending the wind without raising the sails. We are needed, that is all we can know. And though we meet resistance, we more so will meet great souls who will hail us, love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear. Didn't you say you were a believer? Didn't you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater? Didn't you ask for grace? Don't you remember that to be in grace means to submit to the voice greater? You have all the resource you need to ride any wave, to surface from any trough.</span></span> </blockquote>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">...In the language of aviators and sailors, ours is to sail forward now, all balls out. Understand the paradox: If you study the physics of a waterspout, you will see that the outer vortex whirls far more quickly than the inner one. To calm the storm means to quiet the outer layer, to cause it, by whatever countervailing means, to swirl much less, to more evenly match the velocity of the inner, far less volatile core — till whatever has been lifted into such a vicious funnel falls back to Earth, lays down, is peaceable again. One of the most important steps you can take to help calm the storm is to not allow yourself to be taken in a flurry of overwrought emotion or despair — thereby accidentally contributing to the swale and the swirl. Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts — adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take "everyone on Earth" to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.</span> </blockquote>

Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires ... causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these — to be fierce and to show mercy toward others, both — are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.</span> </blockquote>

I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it; I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate. The reason is this: In my uttermost bones I know something, as do you. It is that there can be no despair when you remember why you came to Earth, who you serve, and who sent you here. The good words we say and the good deeds we do are not ours: They are the words and deeds of the One who brought us here. In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt.

And snakes. Two twining brightly multi-coloured snakes. The <a href="http://www.goddessgift.com/goddess-myths/egyptian_goddess_bast.htm">cat-goddess</a> and the snakes seemed to happily coexist.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Ancients believed that dreams are premonitions predicting the future:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The first known book on dream interpretation, now called the '<a href="http://www.cbl.ie/Collections/The-Western-Collection/Papyri.aspx" target="_blank">Chester Beatty papyrus</a>' (dating from the 12th dynasty), came from Thebes in Upper Egypt, and is preserved in the British Museum.</li>
<li>In Homer's <a href="http://classics.mit.edu/Homer/iliad.html" target="_blank">Illiad</a>, Agamemnon is visited by a messenger of the god Zeus to prescribe his future actions.</li>
<li>From India, a document called the <a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/av.htm" target="_blank">Atharvaveda</a> (dated to the 2nd C BCE) contains a chapter on dream omens.</li>
<li>A <a href="http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/babylonian-dream-beliefs/" target="_blank">Babylonian dream guide</a> was discovered in ruins of the city of Ninevah among tablets from the library of Ashurbanipal (685-627BC).</li>
</ul>
<br />
The moment light peeped through the cracks between my eyelids, my inner Jungan dream analyst sprung into action.<br />
<br />
According to Jung, cat represents instinctual energy that's been tamed and is relatively close to consciousness; feminine power/energy; the feminine archetype.<br />
<br />
In ancient Egypt the feline-headed goddess <a href="http://www.egyptianmyths.net/bastet.htm" target="_blank">Bastet</a>, was considered a personification of the soul of <a href="http://www.egyptianmyths.net/isis.htm" linkindex="41" target="_blank">Isis.</a> Isis being the goddess of protection and sensual pleasure.<br />
<br />
Ancient Egyptians praised cats for their ability to kill snakes, even cobras.<br />
<br />
Bastet's twin, or her mirror, goddess <a href="http://www.egyptianmyths.net/sekhmet.htm" target="_blank">Sekhmet</a>, wears a cobra crown.<br />
<br />
Given that in ancient Greece the serpent was seen as a healer - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asclepius" target="_blank">Asclepius</a> carried two intertwined on his wand (a symbol today associated with medicine and/or healing) - it makes more sense that it was actually Sehmet I dreamt of. The lion-headed war mother-goddess, who is also the goddess of the sun, healing and healers, is cat elevated to its most powerful expression of feminine energy.<br />

The original custodians of this burned land of Oz I call home, consider the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_serpent" target="_blank">Rainbow Serpent</a> as a benevolent protector of its people. It is closely linked to water, land, social relationships, life and fertility. Again, things feminine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The message of the dream? Although I set out on the info gathering, analytical path, my conclusion is purely from instinct:<br />
<br />
Healing of the world lies in full acceptance of the feminine power.</div>

At first triple ones (111), then 11:11s.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Couple of days ago I received an email via this blog that prompted me to revisit my musings and finally make the post public.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />Multiple ones continue to haunt me: My newest postcode has 111 in it, as does the new phone number and my most recent bank account number. On new years eve of 2010 my stove clock stopped working at 1:11; A message in my IM said 111 of my messages were not delivered (none were actually missing(?)). Not to mention countless times of looking at the clock at precisely 01:11 or 11:10 or 11:11.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Incidentally, my birth soul number is 11, as is my year’s path number for 2011, so somehow it seemed logical that none of these peculiar coincidences should surprise me. Surprised, yes; Coincidences, no.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />I’ve always had an affinity for numbers, and in an attempt to unravel the mystery of the haunting 1s I turned to both scientific and mystical fields for answers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />Science says that w<span lang="EN-US">e live in a causal universe where for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Some call that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma">karma</a>. To me, it says that there is meaning behind everything, however obscure it may seem at first.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><br />
<o:p></o:p></span><span lang="EN-US">According to Kabbala, many coincidences make a law. Carl Gustav Jung called this law <a href="http://www.carl-jung.net/synchronicity.html"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;">synchronicity</span></a> - the experience of two or more events, that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance, that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This concept maintains that just as events may be grouped by cause, they may also be grouped by their meaning. Since meaning is a complex mental construct, subject to conscious and unconscious influences, not every correlation in the grouping of events by meaning needs to have an explanation in terms of cause and effect.</span></div>

</span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Although there are various systems dealing with numbers and no common definition for the meaning of specific digits, I am convinced that it is only in the bringing together of all the pieces of information that we can glean the scope of the context and get closer to the true picture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />Causality and synchronicity may not be mutually interdependent but it is probably safe to say that there are two aspects to the multiple 1s mystery: The symbology of the numbers themselves (1, 11, 111 and 11:11) and the meaning behind their synchronistic influx.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">MEANING…?</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All that summed up (pun intended), where does it leave us?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The dictum of the <a href="http://www.pythagoras.name/">Pythagorean school</a> was, ‘All is number’. What this meant was that all things of the universe had a numerical attribute that uniquely described them. Numbers mirror our world and so can be used as the signposts along the road of life.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The grand architect of the universe certainly didn’t leave much out: The human brain is wired to pick up patterns and once made aware of a particular pattern, the brain becomes sensitised to it. Once the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotoma"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none;"><i>scotoma</i></span></a>, the blind spot, is removed by our mind dropping it’s guard so that particular signposts can be brought to our attention, we begin to perceive signposts all around. It is not that they had not been there before, rather that we were unaware of them. The real value of that lies in the demonstration of the mind's power to perceive the universal "truth" in nearly anything, since everything is connected.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is definitely something about 1s and this year in particular - It includes four striking dates: 1/1/11, 11/1/11, 1/11/11 and 11/11/11 - signposts.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Obviously, they imbue the symbolism of 1 and its twins, triplets and quadruplets. Considering the symbolisms, this year is the marker on and of the evolutionary ladder.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It heralds the time to remember.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the words of Pythagoras,</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><i>‘To cognize the Divine Essence — </i></span><span lang="EN-US"><i> this is the highest purpose of soul, </i></span><span lang="EN-US"><i> sent by the Creator to the Earth!’</i></span></span></blockquote>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When the critical mass of thinking/self aware beings remember who they are – a union of the Father (heaven) and the Son (earth) – the effect will ripple through human consciousness and everyone will instantly become aware of who they are. And the game will be won - We can ascend/move on home, at will.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Legendary English witch and soothsayer, Mother Shipton (circa 1486-1561) seemingly foretold many modern events and phenomena.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Although no biographical information concerning Mother Shipton is based upon trustworthy sources and her identity seems clouded in here-say and flights of fancy, someone <i>did</i> write the verses first published in 1448 then republished in 1641.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">The most famous claimed edition of Mother Shipton's prophecies (published in 1862), widely quoted today as if it were the original, contains over a hundred prophetic rhymed couplets in notably non-sixteenth-century language. Many of the rhymes are obscure and like many obscure riddles - such as those of Nostradamus - can be moulded to fit a number of events.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Still, whoever wrote these verses seems to have had an incredible gift of foresight. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And now a word, in uncouth rhyme</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of what shall be in future time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then upside down the world shall be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And gold found at the root of tree</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All England's sons that plough the land</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shall oft be seen with Book in hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The poor shall now great wisdom know</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Great houses stand in far-flung vale</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All covered o'er with snow and hail.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A carriage without horse will go</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Disaster fill the world with woe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In London, Primrose Hill shall be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In centre hold a Bishop's See</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Around the world men's thoughts will fly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quick as the twinkling of an eye.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And water shall great wonders do</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How strange. And yet it shall come true.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Through towering hills proud men shall ride</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No horse or ass move by his side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beneath the water, men shall walk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall even talk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And in the air men shall be seen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In white and black and even green.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A great man then, shall come and go</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For prophecy declares it so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In water, iron, then shall float</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As easy as a wooden boat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gold shall be seen in stream and stone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In land that is yet unknown.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And England shall admit a Jew</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You think this strange, but it is true</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Jew that once was held in scorn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shall of a Christian then be born.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A house of glass shall come to pass</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In England. But Alas, alas</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A war will follow with the work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where dwells the Pagan and the Turk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These states will lock in fiercest strife</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And seek to take each other's life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When North shall thus divide the south</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Eagle build in Lion's mouth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then tax and blood and cruel war</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shall come to every humble door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Three times shall lovely sunny France</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be led to play a bloody dance</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before the people shall be free</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Three tyrant rulers shall she see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Three rulers in succession be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each springs from different dynasty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then when the fiercest strife is done</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
England and France shall be as one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The British olive shall next then twine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In marriage with a German vine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Men walk beneath and over streams</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fulfilled shall be their wondrous dreams.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For in those wondrous far off days</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The women shall adopt a craze</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To dress like men, and trousers wear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And to cut off their locks of hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They'll ride astride with brazen brow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As witches do on broomstick now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And roaring monsters with man atop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does seem to eat the verdant crop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And men shall fly as birds do now</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And give away the horse and plough.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There'll be a sign for all to see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be sure that it will certain be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then love shall die and marriage cease</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And nations wane as babes decrease.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And wives shall fondle cats and dogs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And men live much the same as hogs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In nineteen hundred and twenty six</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Build houses light of straw and sticks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For then shall mighty wars be planned</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And fire and sword shall sweep the land.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When pictures seem alive with movements free</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When boats like fishes swim beneath the sea,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When men like birds shall scour the sky</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then half the world, deep drenched in blood shall die.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those who live the century through</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fear and trembling this shall do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Flee to the mountains and the dens</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To bog and forest and wild fens.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For storms will rage and oceans roar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Gabriel stands on sea and shore</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And as he blows his wondrous horn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Old worlds die and new be born.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A fiery Dragon will cross the sky</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Six times before this earth shall die</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mankind will tremble and frightened be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the sixth heralds in this prophecy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For seven days and seven nights</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Man will watch this awesome sight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tides will rise beyond their ken</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To bite away the shores and then</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The mountains will begin to roar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And earthquakes split the plain to shore.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And flooding waters, rushing in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will flood the lands with such a din</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That mankind cowers in muddy fen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And snarls about his fellow men.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He bares his teeth and fights and kills</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And secrets food in secret hills</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And ugly in his fear, he lies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To kill marauders, thieves and spies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Man flees in terror from the floods</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And kills, and rapes and lies in blood</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And spilling blood by mankind's hands</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will stain and bitter many lands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And when the Dragon's tail is gone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Man forgets, and smiles, and carries on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To apply himself -- too late, too late</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For mankind has earned deserved fate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His masked smile -- his false grandeur</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will serve the Gods their anger stir.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And they will send the Dragon back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To light the sky -- his tail will crack</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Upon the earth and rend the earth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And man shall flee, King, Lord, and serf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But slowly they are routed out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To seek diminishing water spout</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And men will die of thirst before</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The oceans rise to mount the shore.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And lands will crack and rend anew</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You think it strange. It will come true.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And in some far off distant land</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some men -- oh such a tiny band</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will have to leave their solid mount</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And span the earth, those few to count,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who survives this (unreadable) and then</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Begin the human race again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But not on land already there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But on ocean beds, stark, dry and bare</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not every soul on Earth will die</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the Dragon's tail goes sweeping by.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not every land on earth will sink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But these will wallow in stench and stink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of rotting bodies of beast and man</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of vegetation crisped on land.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the land that rises from the sea</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will be dry and clean and soft and free</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of mankind's dirt and therefore be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The source of man's new dynasty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And those that live will ever fear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Dragons tail for many year</div>

They echoed there for the following 9 days, incessantly.</span></span><br />

On my trip to Egypt, I met Basaam, an Egyptologist from the Cairo Museum. He was surprised, asked how I knew that, where I got it from - Explaining that the phrase "just came to me" was a challenge.<br />

This is their meaning:<br />

As myths go, the story of the Avatar is my absolute favourite. If you’ve been reading this blog from <a href="http://soulgate.blogspot.com.au/p/my-why_19.html#axzz49iwnOjfh">the beginning</a>, it should be quite clear why.<br />
<br />
Once I understood the basic concept behind the word, my inexplicable experiences had found their context. Or should I say, I realised I wasn’t crazy after all.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, I loved James Cameron’s film, <a href="http://www.avatarmovie.com/index.html">Avatar</a>. The story superbly weaves a number of profound themes totally relevant to today, to deliver truly immersive, spectacular entertainment.<br />
<br />
<o:p></o:p> <br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
What struck me is that Cameron, like George Lucas, seems to have been a student of <a href="http://www.mythsdreamssymbols.com/functionsofmyth.html">mythology</a>:</div>
<blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: 100%;">“</span><span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 100%;">And the only myth that is going to be worth thinking about in the immediate future is one that is talking about the planet, not the city, not these people, but the planet, and everybody on it.</span><span style="font-size: 100%;">”</span> [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Campbell">Joseph Campbell</a>, 1904-1987]</blockquote>
</div>
</blockquote>
<span style="color: white;">. </span><br />
‘Avatar’ delivers a broad environmental message by echoing a prime mythology: Man's need to understand himself and his place in the greater scheme of things.<br />
<br />
It's title and story reference an ancient Sanskrit word meaning, "<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/10/magazine/10wwln-guest-t.html?_r=2&scp=2&sq=avatar&st=cse&oref=login" style="font-style: italic;">to cross over</a>". That is, to deliberately descend the soul - assumed to be a self-aware conscious energy - into a life-form in a different dimension to experience and contribute to that life-form’s reality.<br />
<br />
The simple act of consciousness projecting into another dimension defines the concept. The consciousness becomes the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar">Avatar</a>.<o:p></o:p> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
<br />
</span>We're replicating the myth not just in new versions of the story, but also in virtual worlds like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_life">Second Life</a> (SL), <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Mars_%28video_game%29">Blue Mars</a> (BM) and various <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game">3D games</a>.<br />
<br />
However, I don't agree that all virtual worlds are quite games. A game, by definition, is a structured activity with a specific goal and rules. The only limitations imposed in virtual worlds like SL and BM, are those of technology and people's imaginations.<br />
<br />
Like life, the only purpose of the 'game' is to learn how to play. They help us remember who we truly are - the All of the One.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.avatarmovie.com/index.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><span id="goog_707703219"></span><img border="0" height="181" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zA-7O4L_WIo/Ugs8wfmMrXI/AAAAAAAABXE/-tBTKYf1o1c/s320/AVATAR_human_network.png" width="320" /></a><span id="goog_707703220"></span><span id="goog_707703210"></span><span id="goog_707703211"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a></div>
The need to connect with other soul-nodes is an innate one. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network">Social Networking</a> phenomenon is a clear indicator that there are not only people looking for answers in the heavens to understand the human place, but that souls are looking toward each other to understand their spiritual place. In the end, we're not human beings on a spiritual journey, we are spiritual beings on a human journey.<br />
<br />
The film’s box office ultimately confirms the audience’s need to immerse in this kind of mythology. After all, it is the story of who we are.<br />
<br />
The ancients – the ones who came up with (or are represented in) the story of the <a href="http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/southasia/Religions/Avatars/Vishnu.html">Avatar</a> myth – called this age, the one we live in, The End Times, the time of Awakening.<br />
<br />
Which is the real world, which is the dream …?…<br />

<span style="font-style: italic;">When I connect with people who resonate on my wavelength I feel empowered, as if our connection increases my amplitude.</span><br />
<br />
Couple of years ago I had an amazing chat with a dear friend. We were deliberating why and how some people are 'connected' beyond comprehension.<br />
<br />
They feel not only an immense pull towards each other, but finish each other’s sentences, experience events the same way, sense intense emotions in each other’s lives when apart. We were wondering if DNA recognises its kind by emitting some type of a signal, acting as a beacon in search of it's 'brethren'.<br />
<br />
Little did we know that scientists were wondering the same.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">DNA Double Helices Recognise Mutual Sequence Homology in a Protein Free Environment</span><br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: 100%;">"DNA has been found to have a bizarre ability to put itself together, even at a distance, when according to known science it shouldn't be able to. No explanation, at least not yet.<br />
<br />
Scientists are reporting evidence that contrary to our current beliefs about what is possible, intact double-stranded DNA has the amazing ability to recognize similarities in other DNA strands from a distance. Somehow they are able to identify one another, and the tiny bits of genetic material tend to congregate with similar DNA. The recognition of similar sequences in DNA’s chemical subunits, occurs in a way unrecognized by science. There is no known reason why the DNA is able to combine the way it does, and from a current theoretical standpoint this feat should be chemically impossible.<br />
<br />
Even so, the research published in <a href="http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/jp7112297">ACS’ Journal of Physical Chemistry B</a>, shows very clearly that homology recognition between sequences of several hundred nucleotides occurs without physical presence of proteins. Double helixes of DNA can recognize matching molecules from a distance and then gather together, all seemingly without help from any other molecules or chemical signals.<br />
<br />
In the study, scientists observed the behaviour of fluorescently tagged DNA strands placed in water that contained no proteins or other material that could interfere with the experiment. Strands with identical nucleotide sequences were about twice as likely to gather together as DNA strands with different sequences. No one knows how individual DNA strands could possibly be communicating in this way, yet somehow they do. The “telepathic” effect is a source of wonder and amazement for scientists.<br />
<br />
“Amazingly, the forces responsible for the sequence recognition can reach across more than one nanometer of water separating the surfaces of the nearest neighbor DNA,” said the authors Geoff S. Baldwin, Nicholas J. Brooks, Rebecca E. Robson, Aaron Wynveen, Arach Goldar, Sergey Leikin, John M. Seddon, and Alexei A. Kornyshev.<br />
<br />
This recognition effect may help increase the accuracy and efficiency of the homologous recombination of genes, which is a process responsible for DNA repair, evolution, and genetic diversity. The new findings may also shed light on ways to avoid recombination errors, which are factors in cancer, aging, and other health issues."</span></blockquote>

The eminent quantum physicists Fritz London and Niels Bohr suggested that quantum phenomena might be essential for life processes. During the last decade especially, increasing evidence has accumulated that indicates this is indeed the case. Especially the experimental work of Garajev et al (see point 1 below) indicates that a radical reinterpretation of the regulatory mechanisms of DNA is required.<br />
<br />
Below you'll find brief summaries of some interesting texts along with links to their sources. Genetic code is only half the story - DNA is a quantum mechanical biowave computer.<br />
<br />
Recent research has demonstrated that electromagnetic signals are of key importance in the regulatory functioning of DNA. Part of it is based on ultraviolet luminance creating biophotons that have been experimentally demonstrated to be able to enhance metabolic reactions thousandfold (1). Another aspect is an electromagnetically mediated "language" for communication between DNA and the cells. Actually laser light generated in DNA, experimentally demonstrated by <a href="http://twm.co.nz/DNAPhantom.htm">P.P. Garajev</a> (2),(3) is a key element in this information transmission system.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Excerpt from:</span><br />
Gariaev P. et al, "The DNA-wave BioComputer" (3)<span style="font-size: 100%;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br />
</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: 100%;">"...These assumptions produce a chromosome apparatus and fast wave genetic information channels connecting the chromosomes of the separate cells of an organism into a holistic continuum, working as the biocomputer, where one of the field types produced by the chromosomes, are their radiations. This postulated capability of such "laser radiations" from chromosomes and DNA, as will be shown, has already been demonstrated experimentally in Moscow, by the Gariaev Group. Thus it seems the accepted notions about the genetic code must change fundamentally, and in doing so it will be not only be possible to create and understand DNA as a wave biocomputer, but to gain from nature a more fundamental understanding of what information [Marcer in press] really is! For the Gariaev Group's experiments in Moscow and Toronto say that the current understanding of genomic information i.e. the genetic code, is only half the story [Marcer this volume].

The latest Hollywood $260-million-dollar-apocalyptic blockbuster - "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190080/">2012</a>" - is about to hit theaters across the world this Friday, November 13.<br />

<br />
This <a href="http://www.whowillsurvive2012.com/">movie</a> is primarily based on the theory that since the <a href="http://www.mayacalendar.com/">Mayan Long Count calendar</a> ends on December 20, 2012, this signals the destruction of life as we know it. The end of the world!<br />
<br />
Does December 20, 2012 mark <span style="font-style: italic;">the</span> end of the world, or '<span style="font-style: italic;">the end of the world as we know it</span>'(?)<br />
<br />
According to the film's researchers and promoters:<br />
<blockquote>
"The title refers to the end-date of the current (13th) b'ak'tun of the Long Count calendar, used by the Mayan Meso-American civilization. In their creation myth, we live in the fourth "attempt" at creating the world, while the third attempt was dismissed as a failure after its own 13th b'ak'tun. Though Mayan documents contain no such information, popular culture and certain religions predict an apocalyptic event at this date. It is popularly misunderstood that the calendar "ends" on this date, however the Long Count calendar can express dates from approximately 3000BC (their date for the creation of the current world) to approximately 40 octillion years in the future. It is almost impossible to express this date in a mortally comprehensible fashion.<br />
The doomsday theory has sprung from a Western idea, not a Mayan. Mayans insist that the world will not end in 2012. The Mayans had a talent for astronomy, and enthusiasts have found a series of astronomical alignments they say coincide in 2012, including one that happens roughly only once every 25,800 years. Once every 25,800 years, the sun lines up with the center of our Milky Way galaxy on a winter solstice, the sun's lowest point in the horizon. In 2012 that will happen on December 21; which happens to be the same day the Mayan calender expires, since the calendar is aligned to natural and astronomical cycles.<br />
In addition to the Mayan calendar, the modern doomsday myth is bolstered several ostensibly scientific reasons for a disaster. Examples include a pole shift, the 'return' of Planet X or the Sun's sinister counterpart Nemesis, a galactic, planetary, or other celestial alignment, global warming, global cooling, a massive solar flare, a new ice age, and so on. None of these have any basis in respected science. For example, the 'galactic alignment' between the sun, Earth, and galactic center happens every December. The best alignment was reached in the 1990s and was accompanied by its own set of doomsday theories. Alignments since then have been increasingly poor."</blockquote>
<br />
The word ‘<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse">apocalypse</a>’ has been made almost synonymous with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_times">Doomsday</a>, which is, strictly speaking, incorrect. It derives from a Greek word meaning to ‘reveal’ or ‘disclose’ and by extension, it simply means a prophesy or vision of the future, not necessarily an ominous one.<br />
<br />
It is a fact that the ancient Maya and Aztec astrologers studied the mysterious influence of the rhythms of the sky on earthly life. At the core of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoamerican#Calendrical_systems">Mesoamerican</a> astrology is the notion that time periods have meaning.<br />
<br />
The most important time cycles in ancient Mayan and Aztec astrology are those of the day. Days are looked at intervals of 9, 13 and 20 days. Each day is then part of several other cycles, so no two days are exactly the same, as represented by interconnected cogs. One of the most important time periods, is the 'katun', followed by the 'baktun'. Thirteen baktuns form a 'creation cycle'.<br />
<br />
The <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popol_Vuh" linkindex="93" title="Popol Vuh">Popol Vuh</a></i>, a book compiling details of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%27iche%27_people" linkindex="95" title="K'iche' people">K'iche' Maya</a> <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoamerican_creation_accounts" linkindex="94" title="Mesoamerican creation accounts">creation accounts</a>, notes that we are living in the fourth world. According to the <i>Popol Vuh</i>, the gods failed with the first three creations and so put in motion the fourth world seeded by humans.<br />
<br />
This <a href="http://www.blogger.com/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoamerican_Long_Count_calendar">Long Count cycle</a> began on August 11 of 3,114BC and ends after completion of the cycle of 5,125 years. However, the calendar is perpetual, meaning: there is no end to it. Just like the Gregorian calendar where the same cycle of 24 hour days, 7 day weeks and 12 month years, repeats after completing 365 days, ad infinitum. Neither is there a known traditional Mayan prophecy for the year 2012.<br />
<br />
However, the end of each Long Count calendar cycle appears to predict a turning point in human history for the Mayans.<br />
<br />
In the Maya Long Count, the forth cycle will end on December 20, 2012, followed by the start of the new cycle, fourteenth b'ak'tun - 13.0.0.0.0, on December 21, 2012.<br />
<br />
What stands out is that a number of cycle centers <a href="http://www.salagram.net/cycleOages.html">confluence</a> around December 2012. Including alignment of our <a href="http://2012rising.com/article/the-galactic-alignment-in-2012-part-2">Winter Solstice Sun</a> with the center of the Milky Way galaxy, called <a href="http://www.astunit.com/astrocrud/2012.htm">the Cygnus Rift</a> (although the actual mid point of the 100-or-so year Cygnus Rift<a href="http://www.astunit.com/astrocrud/2012.htm"></a> occurs in 2030).<br />
<br />
This Galactic Center is located between Sagittarius and Scorpio, and was thought of by the ancient Maya as the Creation Place in the Sky, the Womb of the Great Mother. This alignment of the solstice sun with Galactic Center occurs approximately once every 12,700 years.<br />
<br />
The last time this happened was when the sphinx at <a href="http://www.jawest.com/">Gizah was eroded by flood water</a>. It seems something happens. Apparently the Earth responds to the heavenly bodies of the bigger <a href="http://www.grahamhancock.com/forum/WestJA2.php">cycles</a> like the waters on the Earth's surface and within the body respond to the moon's cycles.<br />
<br />
For the scientific 'facts', I defer to the experts at NASA who recently announced: <span style="font-style: italic;">"Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012." </span> NASA offers this article as a <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/yoemans20091110.html">scientific reality check</a>.<br />
<br />
My question is, "How big a context are today's scientist able to embrace?"<br />
<br />
When considered in isolation or - out of context - the facts around December 2012 seem insignificant. As signified by various prophecies, this year is important to many cultures around the world. But that is just one piece of the puzzle.<br />
<br />
Many ancient prophecies note 2012 as a time of change. Certainly, we live in a time of crisis and each crisis is a herald of change, at the very least an opportunity for change.Lilyanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06079623216481942495noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404856953945878778.post-64347512817144196482009-10-10T22:10:00.005+11:002018-07-14T14:53:11.601+10:00inception<blockquote>
