As our Solar System aligns with the Heart of the Galaxy...


Here's to a glorious destiny for all in a whole new octave of evolution where Beauty & Truth - not 
Money & Power - are the measure of success.

A Brief Intro to MAYAN-PLEIADIAN COSMOLOGY & THE GALACTIC CALENDAR


The subject of Mayan or Incan Cosmology in relation to the Pleiades is V-A-S-T. When I said this was an INTRODUCTION to the subject, I more or less meant EXACTLY that: sort of like... “People, meet the Tzolkin. Tzolkin, these lovely people would like to get to know you a little better. Here are a few names & addresses & websites. Good luck!”

Indeed, research on Galactic Timefields has accelerated so fast since 1987 that I find myself at the bottom of the class in Mayan-Pleiadian Cosmology. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to impart the modest insight that I do possess to as many people as I can - simply because I believe that even the most casual understanding of this system of thinking is a crucial key to surfing the tidal wave of radical changes that's about to smash our familiar worldviews to pieces.

WHAT IS THE TZOLKIN? For the best answer we must turn to visionary artist and cultural historian José Argüelles, who spent 33 years contemplating the mystery of the Maya, and finally published his mind-boggling conclusions in one of the most significant books ever written. In The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology, Argüelles explains it this way (more or less):

The Tzolkin is a Harmonic Module. A Super-Macro-Chip in the Galactic Computer - in fact it's the Mother Logic Board, for those of you with a bit of computer savvy - that constitutes the Operating System of the entire Milky Way Galaxy. And yet it's a very simple device consisting of 13 tones (think of them as musical tones if you like) interacting with 20 frequency zones (each frequency zone representing a specific range of experiential probabilities or mental-emotional qualities). The 13 tones are signified by numbers - although the Mayans, like the Egyptians, the Hebrews & the Tibetans, regarded numbers as qualities as well as quantities - if you can bear that in mind at all times.

In other words, two isn't just a pair of eyes or ears or whatever, two represents bi-polarity, maleness & femaleness, yin & yang. Three represents evolutionary movement - one + one = two & when you add one more, you don't just get three, you get the possibility of evolution symbolized by the triangle or the trinity. Four, the basis of squareness, represents stability (when taken as the basic geometric structure underlying all structures, viz. the tetrahedron) & also measure, for only when a structure is stabilized can it be measured; perhaps that's why the most common measure in music is 4/4. Well, I don't want to get too involved with details. This is a subject that deserves months, years of personal research & study - if you find it interesting & I hope you will by the time my time runs out!

Anyway... 13 tones interacting with 20 frequency zones (which the Maya called the 20 Sacred Suns or starglyphs) produces a 260-day probability-wave-field. Another area I won't delve into too much is Mayan mathematics. For one thing, my head gets rather woolly when trying to deal with numbers & for another this is a subject that would take an entire 9-day or 9-year course to even begin to understand its implications. Let's just say that the Maya worked with fractal geometries & therefore all their numbers are fractal values: which means, the Maya work with hologram realities, where each part essentially contains the whole.

[“A fractal is a proportion that remains constant: e.g., a 36-degree segment of a circle will always be 36 degrees no matter how large or small the circle. Also, in this segment of the circle sufficient information is contained to allow one to construct the whole circle. The fractal principle underlies the holographic nature of things; from one fraction of a particular whole, the entire whole can be constructed." - José Argüelles, The Mayan Factor.]

13 X 20 = 260 which is a fractal of 26,000 - the approximate number of years required for the Earth's orbit around the Sun to complete a grand tour of the Zodiac. Note, too, that the 20 Sacred Suns are represented by our 10 fingers & 10 toes, which means 5 is a central figure in their calculations. The pentatonic musical scale is derived from this ancient system of reckoning. The Chinese have their 5 elements, we speak of our 5 senses, and so on. Well, 260 divided by 5 = 52... & there are 52 weeks to the year. 52 is also a fractal value of 5,200 - which is the number of tuns or Mayan years it takes for us to travel from the Beginning to the End of History - and that's just one Great Cycle in the Galactic Scheme of Events.

Let me try & explain what all this means. Please bear with me while I spew a few more numbers. Now the Mayan calendar is an intricate cosmic gear mechanism which integrates many micro & macro movements first there's the k'in or day; then there's the tun or solar year of 360 k'in; then the katun of 20 tuns, the baktun of 20 katuns (approximately 394 solar years); the pictun of 20 baktuns (approx.imately7,900 years); the calabtun of 20 pictuns (approximately 157,600 years) - and this can go on infinitely till the numbers get so huge we can't even speak them. For practical purposes, the Maya decided to work with only 9 orders, culminating with the alautun (approximately 63,040,000 years).

Now, it's obvious the Maya are NOT your proverbial frog under the coconut shell. The Maya are, in fact, pretty cosmic thinkers & navigators. With the Maya we are, in fact, dealing with a highly evolved galactic intelligence which has been gently guiding the course of human evolution for hundreds of thousands of years.

WHERE DO THE MAYA ORIGINATE? If you look at the simple map of the Pleiades among your notes, you'll notice that the second star after Alcyone is called MAYA. I don't mean to be obtuse, but THAT's where the Maya originate. You see, one of the most astounding facts I've stumbled upon in the last 5 years is that our Sun - yes, good old Sol - is an integral member of the Pleiadian Star Alliance. Don't bother asking an astronomer or your local planetarium whether this is true. They don't have a clue about this. When I first read about this in a book by Barbara Hand Clow (one of her Mind Chronicles trilogy) I instantly felt a shiver of recognition. For years, the word “Pleiades” had given me a strange feeling of familiarity. I just didn't know why. I simply liked the sound of the word “Pleiades” – it felt like ‘home’ to me! Now, I have very good friends from Arcturus, Sirius, Aldebaran, Andromeda, Orion, even Betelgeuse (or Beetlejuice as the Americans call it) - but my Pleiadian friends are the least “alien” of all - WHY? - because in Malaysia we call them Orang Asli!

Yes... the indigenous tribes of Earth are almost entirely of Pleiadian origin, although a few odd specimens here & there may originate rom a whole spectrum of different lineages. As for myself, I consider myself an Earth native (& therefore Pleiadian) -but I now accept that I may have DNA strands from all over the galaxy – perhaps even other galaxies! This way I get to feel much more of a mystery to myself - which is a rather entertaining state of mind, you never get bored with yourself this way!


THE LOOM OF MAYA
. The heart of the Tzolkin is the most mysterious part of the entire Harmonic Module. It consists of 64 units - corresponding with the 64 hexagrams of the Chinese Oracle I Ching and the 64 codons of the Genetic Code. The number 8 evokes the Chinese paat-quah or 8-sided mandala, representing the 8 points of a double tetrahedron, an extremely important configuration in sacred geometry). 8 also represents the Octave. So, 8 X 8 = 64 produces the central core: a Crossover Polarity Zone where male transforms into female, electricity into magnetism, negative into positive, and so on. Which is why Argüelles calls it the “Loom of Maya” - for this is where Spirit is spun into Matter and vice versa. This is the engine of Energy-Consciousness-Matter Conversion. By means of the Loom of Maya, what is imagined by the Galactic Mind becomes real. And what is real to us converts back into the Cosmic Dreamtime.

Now, please bear in mind that the Tzolkin as a Harmonic Module is entirely holographic. Meaning: each atom, each cell within us – in fact, our entire physical-mental-emotional infrastructure (which defines the motifs and patterns of our lives) - is itself a Galactic Calendar, a Tzolkin, a blueprint and a ledger of our days. We are fractals of the Mother Logic Board of Intelligent Evolution, the Spiral of Life itself.

The Galaxy as a whole and ourselves are One: 13 tones written as a recurring sequence of numbers; 20 symbols that represent different colors, different feelings and moods - working interactively, radially, multidimensionally off one another in 4 horizontal directions in external reality; and 7 attentional vectors in internal reality (we look forward, backward, left, right, up, down, and within).


Thus, we have our 260-day Tzolkin: the Super-Macro-Chip that informs the operation of this galaxy, in holographic harmony and resonance with all other galaxies in the Intergalactic Confederation. With this basic understanding, we as humans poised on the brink of a new millennium are ready to take a quantum leap - not of blind faith, but with fully conscious anticipation and joy — into the greater universe beyond the ‘coconut shell" of provincial, national, and even planetary barriers!

Om’ta ku oyasin! (We are all interrelated and I salute Thee!)

Five Years After 2012: Are We All Going Crazy? ~ by Flemming Funch (written in October 2017)

Pointless by Cosmic Rapture

A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, I started observing/believing/predicting that our human experience was quickening, and that the rules were changing, in somewhat predictable ways, as things speed up. A metaphorical way of talking about it would be that we were passing through successive "dimensions", each one with different rules. It wasn't my original idea in any way, but I latched on to it, and wrote a few blog posts about it.

One of the key points is that various kinds of things (emotions, thoughts, difficult situations) will come up for people, and need to be dealt with and somehow "processed" on an individual basis, in order to make it to the next level. It would be a moving target. As soon as you find your peace with things, another layer is peeled off, and you need to figure out how to deal with that. You have to keep up with what life throws at you. Now, if you don't deal with things, if you don't pay attention or if you don't bother to do the required personal intellectual or emotional work, you'll be in trouble. Basically, if you keep denying what is going on for you, and you don't do anything about it, or you do the wrong things, you end up going insane.


Back then, I had gone along with the spurious prediction that something big and cataclysmic would happen in 2012. The end of the Mayan calendar and that kind of stuff. Seemed like that might be the deadline for entering the 5th dimension, or whatever exactly it is. Well, 2012 came and went, and nothing really dramatic happened. But well, even if the expected timing was a bit off, it did more or less happen. It is now 2017, and an alarmingly large percentage of the population seems to have gone insane. That should be visible both in the news, on social media, and among people you know personally.

A lot of people are out of their skulls panicking, succumbing to their neuroses, fighting invisible enemies, feeling targeted and victimized by evil forces, freaking out daily about the latest thing they heard, and seemingly having no tools left for rational thinking or for finding their own peace. Some people only do it once in a while, some apparently do it 24/7. Either way, they just can't. deal. with. it. Unfortunately, if they don't, it will only get worse.

Whereas, for people who successfully deal with what is thrown at them, things get better. Currently it might be hard to see, as we could say that we're going through a period of at least metaphorical darkness.

Whether it is entirely clear yet or not, people have picked different ways of dealing with it. The people who are going crazy have maybe not picked very well, and not very consciously, but they have picked. If they simply continue to panic more and more, they'll find themselves increasingly in hell. Whereas the people who've managed to keep their sanity will, once the fog clears, more likely find that new and better things are emerging, and there are paths forward, and they know what to do.

How it will look, with those drastically different kinds of realities co-existing, I'm not sure. Maybe they will part ways in some manner that I can't quite imagine. Droves of people committing mass-suicide, because they can't handle the noise in their heads and the pain in their hearts, I don't know.

Oh, and to not make it too bleak, there's always a choice. Particularly for people who get a little of each, who go a bit crazy once in a while, but who then find themselves. We're all a little nuts, so that's pretty normal.

11:11 ~ Starseeds on Earth (reprise)





I was invited to the Sacred Valley in Peru in early March 2011 to join a dozen others for 9 days of intensive training with Solara, so that we can serve as 11:11 workshop facilitators. Unfortunately, the airfare to Peru is way too prohibitive (approximately RM8k) - and at the time I was undergoing training of a different order on the island of Koh Phangan. A week after I left the whole of southern Thailand was flooded with feeling!





These videos by Starseedjourney are not directly related to Solara's work. Solara was the first to speak about the 11:11 activation code. Many others have since been awakened to their own earthly missions. Jennifer is clearly one of them and has done a brilliant job of synthesizing and summarizing a vast and complex field of converging ideas - though she could do with some help when it comes to spelling (another trait of Starseeds is that they often have stronger right brain activity than left).

José Argüelles ~ Visionary of the Circumpolar Rainbow Bridge to the New Earth





















We, the Elders of the Supreme Star Council of the Federation of Galactic Federations, communicate to you through channels of multidimensional paranormality. That is, we speak through various channels spanning numerous dimensions in a manner that to you can only be paranormal – beyond the senses. This means that through a specially selected medium we can communicate in such a way that the medium will make as universally available as possible what we are communicating.

This communication is called the Gospel of 2012. It is a pure expression of the sentiments of the Elders of the Supreme Star Council of the Federation of Galactic Federations in their desire to assist in the attainment of universal consciousness upon your line of force.

When we speak of 2012, we are speaking of an event-point located within the parameters of a multidimensional reality. With your telescopes and technology you have attempted to make a map of what you call the universe. But this is only the physical universe, it is but a thin sliver or layer of the Universal Reality and it would be a naïve mistake to think it was the whole of it.

In actuality the universal reality is an entity of multidimensional grandeur. Most of the dimensions are supersensible, non-physical and exist as layers of lines of force of consciousness in a hierarchical construction that is entirely systematic.

Among the middling dimensions of this Great Universal Reality, are the ones you refer to as time and space. Time and space are actually an integration of dimensions extrapolated from the universes of number and consciousness.

All that is measurable – such as all that you can name and define in your physical line of force universe – co-exist in the universe of number. This universe of number provides all phenomena with qualities: such as weight, height, volume, depth, and duration.

Duration is a measure proportionate to a cyclic eventuality, the definition given by the dimension of time. As a convergence of dimensions, timespace actually constitutes a cube of singular order, such that any point in the physical universe is the center point of that cube equidistant to it six sides and eight vertices or corners.

No matter where you are, your perceptions will define a world of up and down, right and left and front and back. These are the six sides of the timespace cube. Because you can know this, this timespace also converges with the dimension of consciousness, such that we may define Reality as a multidimensionally conscious timespace cube. It is the fourth dimension that gives the third-dimensional universe its cubic order.

The fourth dimension is the universal field of paranormality that encloses the third-dimensional reality or physical universe.

The fourth dimension can only be known or experienced through various states of consciousness. Where space perceptions reach their limit, the mental time perceptions expand into the invisible reaches of the fourth-dimensional cube. The fourth-dimensional time cube encloses perfectly the sphere of third-dimension space perceptions.

In the multidimensional perspective, all events are event point convergences of timespace and consciousness. Significant event points are the convergences of timespace and consciousness coinciding with measures of cyclic duration.

In the timespace cube a measure of cyclic duration defines the parameters for the unfolding evolvement of different stages of consciousness.

The minimum duration of such a cyclic unfolding is the fractal time measure of 26,000 years.

2012 is a timespace event point where one cyclic measure of consciousness completes its duration of 26,000 years and commences its next such cycle. These cycles are known as “aeons of consciousness.”

The Astrology of 2012 and December 21st ~ Craig Howell


Big movements are afoot in the heavens as the planets jostle into position, signifying no less than the birth of a new consciousness. But with birth sometimes comes painful transitions until mother and child are resting in each others arms. The beginning of this goes back to the “Harmonic Convergence” of the ‘80s, but the most recent turn of events is showing a ratcheting up of the energy to the point where something’s got to give, as they say.

In June of 2011 there began a series of hard aspects between Uranus and Pluto, sometimes forming Grand Crosses with other planets in the Cardinal Signs. Uranus is the planet of independence and revolution and by that time last year it was in full swing with the “Arab Spring” and the “Occupy” movement not far behind. Pluto deals with old energy that needs shifting and in this case, in Capricorn, old structures that have been mainstays of society that need an overhaul. All astrologers agree that when planetary energies push against each other such as these, the friction and pressure create something like a world seismic event that lasts for a long time. It’s like an earthquake that has been building over years, starts swarming and then releases the pressure in various eruptions.

When other planets join in and form a cross in the sky, it intensifies this pattern. Cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Capricorn, Cancer) show that the effects of this transition will be temporary, yet fraught with emergencies, creating issues or problems that require immediate solutions. It also shows that although there will be wasted energy spinning wheels, there will ultimately be growth and change for the better. Hard aspects will come to a conclusion in 2016, but it doesn’t mean that we’re done. It’s going to take a while to straighten everything back out. As one channeler expressed about this transition, “we are waist-deep” into it. We are in a major transition.

It’s time for “business as usual” to change, whether you want to or not. The Universe doesn’t ask if you are ready. This will turn the tables on the Plutonian power brokers if they are using their energy to control and manipulate the masses, because the masses just woke up and they are not going to lie down and play the game anymore. This is the beginning of the end for old political, financial, cultural and even religious structures (especially male-dominated types) that have run their course and are no longer assisting our evolution. This is the general climate at this time.

Now it is 2012 and everyone is wondering what’s going to happen when we get to the date of December 21, 2012. As an astrologer, there are indeed real physical alignments of planets around that date, but are of a more subtle nature. There is still Uranus and Pluto pounding it out along with the Sun and Moon, showing a minor flare up, but there is another configuration that begins at this date and continues for a short time. This is called a Yod, or the “Finger of God.”

Although this sounds ominous, it is actually symbolic of a time when a clear choice must be made as to where or how to proceed. With that choice a new destiny is born. It shows that we are at a crossroads, everyone knows it, and in fact may have even felt this for a long time, but now the realization that we can not go on like this has arrived. On December 21st, this may be but an inner knowing among us, but by late March, 2013, we will see what our choices have brought us. This configuration is helped along by having Pluto and Saturn sharing each other’s ruler. Pluto in Capricorn is saying tear down the old systems. Saturn in Scorpio is saying reuse and retool what is worth saving into something that works for us now. Because Jupiter is the trigger for this transit, it may be that people will be assessing their belief in their own abilities to accomplish a major shift (both inner and outer) and checking their personal spiritual beliefs. Maybe because Jupiter is in Gemini (and retrograde) people will be talking a lot about this to each other as well, attempting to process this and gauge other’s experiences of this at the moment. Then we will see what we have manifested in March, 2013.


Along the way there will be more exposing and reversal of power structures that do not serve our spiritual growth at this time. This may create some emergency situations that must be dealt with. It will also be a challenge to us to take back our power individually; to be accountable for our decisions and for the circumstances we find ourselves in. This may be felt as just a nudge now, but a more visceral effect will show around April of 2014, especially for the United States, as Jupiter moves into Cancer and triggers the Uranus /Pluto formation all over again.

This year Neptune moves into its home sign of Pisces. I believe it will be seen on one level as personal and group spiritual involvement and, on another level, as a social concern for the underprivileged or disenfranchised, where people are volunteering and sacrificing to help others in need. But there is more.

Because this involves Neptune, one must tread carefully so as to be able to get a constant reality check. This position will open people more to the spiritual realms, but also become the gateway for delusions, illusion and fantasy. Although we will be learning to be our own spiritual guide by connecting through our heart and soul, there will still be many searching for that one who they can follow, the one who they believe can save them and save the world.

Neptune tries to get us to live in higher consciousness while living in a lower vibrational third dimensional world, which provides some conflict for most humans, to say the least. Neptune seeks perfection in an imperfect world by any means possible, hence the negative reaction in striving to feel Nirvana through drugs or any escapist tendency instead of going within to align with their higher awareness. With Neptune, the “real” world weighs heavy on the soul.


As far as 2012 goes, this could mean that there is so much belief from so many that a particular event can occur, this event—or series of events—begins to manifest. Whether it is a manifestation of fear or of love is up to us. It comes down to the question, “How do you envision your future?” It may be the beginning of a time when we really start seeing our own thoughts and feelings manifest in our lives very clearly. Those that do not understand this may be creating more negativity for themselves and, only seeing this, they may believe it to be their reality—a never ending circle. This may be what people have predicted as a shift or separation in reality, which could be very confusing if you’re not prepared for it.

The greater effect for the United States will come around 2014-2024, as planets make harsh exact aspects to planets in the United States chart. This will shift the country in a deep and long lasting way. After this transit the USA will never be the same. This sounds dire, but it is actually going to bring a breath of fresh air after the power struggles are over between those who don’t want change and those who do.

My take on the big picture is that Neptune in Pisces is the last gasp of the Piscean Age with all the attending irrational fears, hypersensitivity and emotional hysteria until it goes into Aries (2026) about the same time as Pluto goes into Aquarius in 2024. Then we will see the real beginning of the Aquarian Age where people have a greater understanding of the spiritual energetic principles that create our existence and a tolerance for the beliefs and lifestyles of others.

A special message from Princess Kaoru Nakamaru of Japan



The granddaughter of the Meiji Emperor, Princess Kaoru Nakamaru spent her early childhood in the Forbidden Castle in China. While at Columbia University and in graduate school, she furthered her research into international politics and since 1970, as a journalist, has interviewed kings and presidents, prime ministers and business people from many countries, and has given speeches, written books, and appeared on television as a commentator on international political affairs. In 1973, she was acclaimed in the U.S. magazine, Newsweek, as the “World’s No.1 interviewer,” and the Washington Post described her as “one of those rare women in the world with an outstanding international sensitivity.”

Later, she was producer, director, and interviewer of her own Japan/U.S. talk show, for which she traveled to war-torn areas around the world and carried out positive discussions with the heads of state of those countries. Among those were Colonel Gadhafi of Libya and then-president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein - figures that were considered hostile by the West. Nakamaru even covered the frontlines during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-88) and video taken of it was shown to President Hussein who suggested that the war be immediately halted. The images of her broadcast on TV pressing President Hussein with the question “Why is this war being continued?” and asking Colonel Gadhafi, “Are you really a terrorist?” drew strong reactions. From those experiences, she exerted her energy into “personal diplomacy,” serving as a go-between among warring countries, using her own funds.

In order to finance her “personal diplomacy,” she bears all expenses. Kaoru’s network of contacts include many “big names” of whom the staff at TV stations say “Even with our connections, there is no way we can approach these people,” and this is linked to the fact that Kaoru, who is not affiliated with any organization, travels the world at her own expense and as a private citizen. Saddam Hussein, Moammar Gadhafi, top North Korean leaders, and other important figures that western journalists are unable to meet, talk with her-- the main reason being “Princess Nakamaru is not a person who is moved by personal motives and so we considered a meeting with her.”

In response to her personal diplomacy Kaoru established the “International Affairs Institute for World Peace” in New York in 1985, and in 1991, the “Following the Sun Association” was organized for people aspiring toward peace. In doing so, royalty and presidents from various countries as well as cultural figures signed their names to the statement, “I endorse all of your activities,” and these people have been welcomed as advisers and special members. Accordingly, this began in earnest a movement of enlightenment in which the realization of a “one world” policy where the “path of life” is based on mutual understanding and trust, and not on a “one world” policy where the “path of power” is based on military power and tension. Since her days as an interviewer, she has so far traveled to as many as 186 countries.

Nakamaru’s aim is for a “world peace through human renaissance. Wealth, fame, power do not make humans happy, as true happiness is borne from a heart filled with love, harmony, and peace. When there is peace within the hearts of each person, from VIPs to average citizens, then world peace is realized. The phrase ”one world” mistakenly conjures up a religious movement, but Nakamaru has absolutely no religion ties. Nakamaru believes in a religion of her own, but does not belong to any group, saying that “The world transcends all the many religions, races, ideologies so there cannot be just one."

As for her personal life, in 1966 she married Tadao Nakamaru, an actor who worked with Toshiro Mifune. She has a son and a daughter.

In addition, she has maintained a close friendship with South Korea through its former prime minister, Kim Jong-Pil, and with North Korea through the late Kim Il Sung as well as Kim Yong Sun the Secretary of North Korea’s Worker Party (who died in 2003 in a car accident), and has strived to improve relations between Japan and both Koreas as a bridge between the Japanese and Korean governments by bringing about the temporary return of a Japanese woman while at the same time acting as a mediator in bringing about a summit meeting between South and North Korea.
