Remember 2012? The magical, fearful, portentous date of December 21st? The portal through which we would all pass into a transformed epoch of peace, enlightenment, and the effortless integration of the darker factions into a newly harmonious human family?
When the magic moment arrived, I stood on the easternmost point of the world’s time zones, at Byron Bay in Australia with my then-girlfriend on the beach, waiting (somewhat skeptically) for the wave of photonic light to wash over the planet on its journey from Galactic Center, in accordance with the end of the Mayan Calendar and the birth of the New Timeline of Redemption and the Ascension of the human spirit. I was then working as a free-lance journalist in an expose of elite financial corruption covering the Global Collateral Accounts story, which would shortly take me on an extended high-risk adventure in Jakarta, Indonesia, and thence over the ensuing five years to a leadership role in a movement to create a new and enforceable international court of human rights (which, sadly, was all too predictably hijacked by corruption when a massive grant was on the table). But on that day in Byron Bay, the world indeed appeared to be shifting and revolution was in the air.
As we all know, the world proceeded as before with no noticeable shift of any kind. My girlfriend and I had an unpleasant quarrel that day, and the yoga festival at which I was supposed to lead devotional chant had no replacement for my harmonium (which the airline had managed to lose en route from Los Angeles). In short, the day was a dud.
Still, there were those folk (of some credibility) who claimed that while nothing had changed, everything had changed, and that humanity had managed to avoid a dreadful timeline of chaos and violence, and was now proceeding toward gradual and deep transformation, which would culminate in a year of revolutionary upheaval twelve years hence.
In other words, 2024.
So here we are on the eve of yet another prophesied crucible of change. For those of us who endeavor to practice Sacred Activism (that blend of contemplative mysticism and compassionate action extolled by Andrew Harvey), and who have struggled through these last twelve years with our idealism barely intact, it is tempting to hope that this time, this final time oh please, we will truly pass together through a time of intense crisis to emerge into a world we could scarcely have imagined only twelve months before.
As a student of history I tend to look for precedent. When unheard-of transformation is said to be in the air, I like to discover similarly rapid change which in fact got heard of. For it is an odd fact of history that times of extreme and speedy change which the pundits of the day dismiss as impossible are then viewed by those same pundits (only a year or two after the incredible events) as having been inevitable and indeed a ho-hum matter of I-told-you-so.
For example: that Mayan Calendar thing and the “Harmonic Convergence.” In early 1987, before the Internet, before Google, before smart phones and email, back in the days of cassette answering machines and snail mail, Jose Arguelles, the purported authority on the Mayan Calendar, managed to ignite a wave of similar End Times enthusiasm over a convergence of cosmic rays which he stated would culminate on August 17th, 1987. And if only we could get the magic number of 500,000 souls around the world to commune and pray for peace on that day, he prophesied, a wave of peace could wash over the world, which would enable us to pass through what would otherwise be perilous times, so that the far-distant year of 2012 could then truly usher in the Millennium.
I heard of it through my then mystically-inclined older brother, Brian, who lived in Madison, Wisconsin (a fine place at the time to catch the latest New Age thing). Early that morning we perched on a local Indian mound and meditated after a fashion, listening to the enthused chirping of a no-doubt enlightened squirrel as the sun rose.
I don’t know if anyone was able to determine afterwards if the requisite half a million souls had participated. But I do feel confident in stating that if Jose Arguelles (who was already regarded as a dubious and un-accredited eccentric by those few mainstream outlets which covered the story) had been so bold as to predict the following, he might have been institutionalized:
“If only we will all meditate together on that day,” (we will suppose Jose to have promised), “then I prophesy that the following epochal events will transpire within five brief years following the Harmonic Convergence.”
The Iron Curtain will fall and the Berlin Wall will be peaceably torn down by citizens on both sides.
The Soviet Union will peacefully dissolve and the Communist Party will be outlawed. All subject nations of the U.S.S.R. will reclaim their sovereignty and the Russian Orthodox Church will become the state religion of a Russia restored to its original borders.
East and West Germany will cease to exist, and Germany will be peacefully reunited.
Lech Walesa, the imprisoned hero of the Solidarity Movement, will be released to become the first president of a free Poland after a bloodless revolution.
Vaclav Havel, the imprisoned playwright and hero of resistance in Czechoslovakia, will be released to become the first president of a newly free Czech Republic after a bloodless revolution.
Nelson Mandela, the imprisoned hero of the Anti-Apartheid Movement in South Africa, will be released after a quarter-century in jail to become the first president of an Apartheid-free nation after a (largely) bloodless revolution.
Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria and other Communist Bloc nations will all throw off Soviet domination and eventually join NATO as the Cold War (once thought to be endless and the certain origin of an eventual nuclear holocaust) will come to an end.
All this, Jose might have promised, will certainly come to be in a mere five short years if only we will all meditate together on this one auspicious day.
And, incredibly, not only did all those unimaginably epochal events indeed take place within five years, but many of them transpired within a few months of each other in the unforgettable autumn of 1989.
Take it from one who obediently hid under his desk at St. Edmund’s Grammar School in the 1960s as we all rehearsed for a nuclear attack, these events were ludicrously unimaginable only a few weeks before they transpired.
I begin to think we may now be on the precipice of a similar pedal-to-the-metal period of inconceivable transformation. One thinks of April 11th, 1861 - the day before the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter which launched the American Civil War. Patronizing assumptions of madness would have been leveled at anyone daring to predict that within four short years not only would slavery cease to exist, but that citizenship and voting rights would be (for a time) granted to the freed slaves, and the Confederacy (and with it the whole South) would fall from its arrogant pinnacle of power to languish in poverty and racist resentment for the better part of a century.
The factors in play here on the eve of 2024 which may lead to a similar time of greatly accelerated change are these:
The American Election - Economic factors are said, in the end, to be the primary driver for how Americans vote. Based on that assumption, as 2023 draws to a close, despite all the brew-ha-ha over Donald Trump’s many indictments, legal jeopardy, and potential ineligibility (the 14th Amendment issue), the non-aligned moderate middle section of the U.S. demographic will (traditionalists claim) vote with their pocketbooks and restore the doddering but oddly effective Joe Biden to a second term in the White House.
But this traditional view is thrown into uncertainty because of cultural and spiritual factors seething beneath the surface. As documented vaccine-related deaths and injuries skyrocket and Big Pharma and its corporate media mouthpieces ratchet up the stakes with dire predictions of new pandemics and new mandates of rushed and dubious injections (making additional tens of billions for the liability-free pharmaceutical industry), the viability of the already energized campaign of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is assuming potentially decisive momentum. If Trump is in prison, or is deemed ineligible by the Supreme Court (or both) it seems safe to predict that his die-hard cultist base (amounting to some 30% of the electorate) will not take it sitting down. Many are likely to support Kennedy instead, as will independent-leaning Democrats who are beginning to awake from the Woke. This portends a possible constitutional crisis in which no candidate wins an Electoral College victory, and whole states refuse to certify a winner while the razor-thin Republican edge in the House restores an utterly discredited (and possibly imprisoned) Trump to power or is outmaneuvered somehow to reelect Biden (the election of Kennedy remains a long-shot intriguing possibility). Whatever the outcome, an acknowledged historic precursor to revolution may be in place - the collapse of faith in the legitimacy of power. An eventual break-up of the federal Union is among the possibilities which may be set in train in 2024 (though I do not anticipate civil war).
The Drumbeat of War and the new Bogeyman of an EMP - “Governments love pandemics for the same reason they love war,” said RFK Jr. in an address in Berlin last year, “because it gives them the ability to impose controls on the population that the population would otherwise never accept.”
Amidst the horrific crisis in Gaza, the ongoing Ukraine war, and the recent U.S. strike on Iran (supposedly in retribution for an EMP attack), we are, oddly enough, being treated to a high-profile film (Leave the World Behind, produced by no less than Barack and Michelle Obama) in which a massive Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) attack (presumably from Iran or North Korea) wipes out the infrastructure of U.S. civilization, forcing the film’s characters to live a newly spartan life in the remote reaches of Long Island, far removed from the imploding modern world. The film even features whispers of an evil Cabal which may have engineered the disaster. As to the intriguing coincidence of the timing of this film, it is said by some that the Cabal (which certainly exists) likes to openly advertise its plans, so that the dumbed-down, well-vaxxed populace may be said to be complicit in their own enslavement.
The martial law which would doubtless follow an EMP would be the end-game move for the Cabal in this scenario, allowing the imprisonment and forced vaccination of dissidents and the final death of American freedom. The potential electoral chaos and the growing momentum for Kennedy may trigger such an attempt as a desperation move to prevent the Cabal’s exposure and final fall from power. However, another crucial factor comes into play as well - the looming likelihood of economic collapse, distribution disruption, and widespread food shortages.
Currency, Coins, and Central Banks - Back in 2012 I was in the middle of an immersive education in the reality of how money actually works in the world, triggered by an interest in a rumored reset of the global financial system which would dissolve the precarious fiat currency system (in which currency is backed only by faith) to a new asset-backed system, empowered by the supposed revaluation of the Iraqi dinar, which was poised (believers claimed) to be a massive wealth-creation engine for the disenfranchised of the world.
Such a reset is now openly being advocated by world elites (notably Charles III) in which, it is said, people will “own nothing but have everything.” Yes. All it takes is trust in Big Brother and obedience to the latest medical mandates, as the disappearance of cash will allow governmental control of every digital penny you have. The elite factions behind the central banking system will, as usual, require the appearance of a major crisis to be able to impose this control (new pandemic, war, EMP, new 9/11, take your pick).
But there are Good Guys on the scene, it is said, and I believe it.
Block-chain technology is one of the game-changers here, and it is being positioned to manifest so many freedom-enhancing, decentralizing dynamics in new rival systems of exchange that the banking cabal already has its hands full in a desperate game of whack-a-mole to co-opt or sabotage the latest threat. Look for viable alternatives to emerge early in 2024, with ineffective crackdown attempts by the elite to ensue.
Quantum Reality, Sacred Science,and the Power of Love: About the Good Guys - Here we return to our theme - Sacred Activism. All the above looks fairly bleak, I know. But I am an unabashed, God-adoring, Universal Christ-believing, Kriya Yoga-practicing, student of Templar sacred science and devotee of the Divine Mother. And from the beginning of my years as a seeker, I needed to satisfy head as well as heart, and to find a solid scientific underpinning for the unignorable spiritual yearning, which began with my discovery of the visionary work of French Jesuit paleontologist/philosopher, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and culminated in becoming a lifelong disciple of the scientific Kriya Yoga path taught by Paramahansa Yogananda through Self-Realization Fellowship. And which has further crystalized since then in the growing realization that what is now being called Quantum Intentionality is indeed the determining factor in how human destiny will play out in the crucible of these times.
So we come to meditation, love, and storytelling. We are controlled by and create the timelines which align with the stories we tell ourselves. The corrupt elite knows this well. It is no accident that the mainstream entertainment industry has been shown to be tightly controlled by the elite agenda (see the Shadowland documentary). Endless Hollywood recyclings of dystopian nightmare scenarios of societal collapse, alien invasion, and the inevitable domination of humanity by Artificial Intelligence are now so tediously fed to us over and over that the time has been shown to be ripe for such revolutions as the uncontrollable success of spiritually-based, Cabal-exposing films like “Sound of Freedom,” and “The Chosen.”
Recognizing the lever of consciousness (shaped by the power of story) as the true manifesting dynamic in this world, I choose to share tales here of amazing sacred technologies such as The Holy Grail Vortex Protocol, the visionary work of Rev. Maia Nartoomid, the division-transcending gatherings of mystics and contemplatives convened by The Global Peace Initiative of Women, as well as to share my own rather miraculous experiences of the Divine Presence in my two published memoirs, Romancing the Divine, and Templar Return.
For as Tyrion Lannister, the sadly wise dwarf of Game of Thrones, asks at the conclusion of the saga, “What unites people? Armies? Gold? Flags?…No. Stories. There’s nothing in the world more powerful than a good story. Nothing can stop it. No army can defeat it.”
I will share here in the coming months a story of heroism, hilarity, heartbreak, mysticism, miracles and exhilarating inspiration. The plot remains a mystery even to me as of this writing, but I can assure you it will be entertaining at the very least, as that is my essential nature (if I have made someone laugh, the day has not been wasted). But it will be sufficiently reality-based to engage your credulity, and sufficiently fantastical to provoke your awe. Stay tuned, friends! For this is how we shape our world, in the frequency of the stories we tell ourselves and then to our children.
“This story shall the good man teach his son…and this day shall ne’er go by from this day to the ending of the world, but we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!” (Shakespeare, Henry V)
So let us find that path of communion with Source which answers the call of our souls, find that cause of Sacred Activism which breaks our hearts, and tell each other stories of redemption, healing, freedom and compassion. For then we ally ourselves with that which can never be defeated, and we work not for a cause, but for the loving Causeless Cause which sang the world into being.
