THE 7 SISTERS OF THE PLEIADES

THE BIG DIPPER

by Dee Finney

4-14-00 - DREAM - I spent all night dreaming this...  it was a web page with a star background and the names of the stars in alphabetical order... however I came to a place half way down the page that the name of the stars were missing.  There was a blank space there and it seemed that it had a symbol of a Lion or some large animal... but I'm not sure of that.  However, then I spent the rest of the night looking for it.

When I woke up, I asked Joe if he knew anything about a missing star and he said the 7th Sister of the Pleiades was considered to be missing.  

I fell asleep again and dreamed continuously of a white web page exclusively about the 7th Sister of the Pleiades.  I couldn't read any of this... it was like looking at something without my glasses on.

This is the second time within a month I've had this same dream.

On 4-15-00 I spent 5 hours dreaming about a spaceship lost in space. I was told it was long distance and I was given the name Seth.  Is this something coming in our future? Or has this already happened and we don't yet know about it?

The name Seth may relate to these events.


Joe Mason had a dream in November of 1990 in which he saw a hand reading for a branch. It was bitten by a bison bull. A voice spoke saying "The bison symbolizing sex rolls, and the sacred herb springs up, giver of life."

He knew that it related to something he had read in Black Elk Speaks. A part of his great vision, he saw a red man turn into a bison which rolled, the sacred herb sprang up.

Later this herb is planted in the center of the nation's hoops, in other words in the encampment.  In another part of his vision, from the highest point in the world, he saw that the sacred hoop of his nation was one of many hoops wider than daylight or starlight and in the center was one mighty flowering tree of one Mother and one Father and he knew that it was holy.

This seems quite similar to the New Jerusalem as described by St. John in Revelation 21. The New Jerusalem Plan according to John Mitchell is a ring of 12 circles with a 12 pointed star inside formed by 4 overlapping triangles. This follows the same order as the camp positions of the tribes as described in Numbers 2 and to the Zodiac in the Heavens above.  It represents the order of the Heavens made apparent on Earth. At the center of the New Jerusalem is the Tree of Life.

The meaning of the bison dream became more clear when he read Isis Unveiled Vol II by H. P. Blavatsky.  In her discussion of the Biblical patriarchs being Zodiacal signs, Blavatsky says that Adam, Cain, and Abel form the first triad. Cain presides over the Taurus Bull, which belongs to the earthy trigon. In the Persian 'Avesta', Ormazd produced a being, the source and type of all the Universal beings, called "Life", or "Bull" in the 'Zend'. Ahriman (Cain) kills this being (Abel), from the seed of which (Seth) new beings are produced. Abel means 'son'. Apollo was also 'Abelius,' of Bel. Cain means a "Hermaic Statue, a pillar, the symbol of generation."

The symbolism of the bison/Taurus seems quite similar to "death/destruction/creation", attributed to Kali and her consort Shiva the destroyer God. This is equated to a seed growing into a plant. The seed is destroyed in the process of the plant's growth.

This is apparently the process of change during the Kali/Yuga time cycle which is nearing it's end.

On 4-15-00 when I was meditating, I saw the url 'www.kalkorff.org'
I didn't know if that existed. I was surprised to find that it did and that the book that Kal Korff wrote was an anti-Billy Meier book, and that I actually had a copy of it which I haven't read.

I also saw this twice:  "the stark makers of 7".  I haven't figured out what that means yet.

On 4-16-00 - I dreamed a long time about Telstar. I was sewing it onto the back of some cloth so that others could see the front of it permanently.

DREAMS OF SKY EVENTS


Joe wrote this quite a few years ago:  Some incredible coincidences happened about the Pleiades. It relates to a dream, and concerns the Seven Days of Creation, which are still in progress. I later read a book, called, "Beyond the Blue Horizon," which has a full chapter on myths about the Seven Sisters. (The Pleiades) A number of the myths indicate six stars, with the dimmer seventh being "lost" or missing. (in Greek, it is the "Lost Pleiad"). In a couple of the myths, the lost star was abducted to the handle of the Big Dipper. In the "Enoch" book, Dr. Hurtak says the handle of the Big dipper will be broken in the coming change.

Another related dream-coincidence idea is that the seven days of creation are not yet completed . . . we are not "Man" yet, and therefore we have not yet received free will.

Joe wrote this web page about them: The Pleiades and the Seventh Ray on the Seventh Day

The Pleiades in Mythology

In the Encyclopedia we find this: Pleiades (mythology), in Greek mythology, seven daughters of Atlas and of Pleione, the daughter of Oceanus. Their names were Electra, Maia, Taygete, Alcyone, Celaeno, Sterope, and Merope. According to some versions of the myth, they committed suicide from grief at the fate of their father, Atlas, or at the death of their sisters, the Hyades. Other versions made them the attendants of Artemis, goddess of wildlife and of hunting, who were pursued by the giant hunter Orion, but were rescued by the gods and changed into doves. After their death, or metamorphosis, they were transformed into stars, but are still pursued across the sky by the constellation Orion.

IMIN.BI (Sumerian), ilu sibitti (Akkadian). Greek myth says these were 7 daughters of Atlas and Pleione. They are in the constellation Taurus. Japanese = Subaru. Pleiades means 'flock of doves'. These are Nordic aliens originally from Lyra. Alcyone is the central star.

Lyra is the original star of the Nordic type aliens. Lyra was invaded by the Saurian type aliens, and the Nordics escaped to the Pleiades, Hyades, and Vega. These are the good guys. Note that some Nordics have been seen under the control of greys, however.

The Taygetans : These aliens are from the star system Taygeta, in the Pleiades star cluster, in the constellation Taurus. So they're probably the Nordic types originally from Lyra.

In another encyclopedia we find this: Pleiades - The Pleiades are the seven daughters of Atlas and Pleione. They were the virgin companions of Artemis. When Orion, a beautiful hunter, pursued them and their mother, they prayed to the gods for rescue. The gods answered they prayer and they were changed into doves, and later into stars. Zeus placed them in the sky where they formed a part of the constellation of Taurus.

According to another myth, they committed suicide after the death of their sisters the Hyades.
Native Americans call the Hyades the husbands of the Pleiades.

The Pleiads are Alcyone, Electra, Celaeno, Maia, Sterope, Merope and Taygete. In doing some research on my own harddrive, this is the first thing I came across: Ancient Egyptian records translate the Pleiades as "Krittikas" , "female judges of mankind" - they primarily equated them as the Seven Hathors, whom the dead had to remember and speak the names of those Goddesses to pass their examination to enter the ancient Egyptian perception of paradise, which was in the distant stars ... Modern Egyptians relate to the Pleiades as the Seven Midwives.

In archaic seven-gated Thebes, the Pleiades were represented by Seven Mantic Priestesses, who were linked to the Seven Pillars of Wisdom, an era when the Seven Hathors ruled over a rather grim calendar cycle which had the Sacred King slain every seventh year.

In ancient Europe, the Pleiadian May to November cycle was represented by the Maytime feast of life and the November feast of death ... Though quite obviously frowned upon by the early church in that era, upon All Souls Day (November first), prayers for the dead were recited in the direction of the Pleiades (a somewhat obvious archaic hold-over/link to the Egyptian ritual of the dead, which included, speaking the names of the Seven Hathors to enter the paradise in the distant stars)

Interestingly, milk is a symbol in stories about Skanda, the second son of Shiva and Parvati. Scholars say that the symbolism in these stories is rather silly, but quite meaningful. Skanda has seven heads and twelve arms. He lives in a forest of trees. His seven mouths are fed milk from the seven stars of The Pleiades. The Hindu Milk Miracle


THE 7TH SISTER - MEROPE

History of the star: This is the seventh of the sisters. She alone, married a mortal man and she repents of it, Sisyphus, and hid her face in shame at being the only one not married to a god and from shame at the deed, she alone of the sisters hides herself in the sky (there is some dispute over whether it is Merope or Electra that hides herself, i.e. the star does not shine). She married Sisyphus, a mortal, and bore him a son, Glaucus, who was torn to pieces by his horses because he would not allow them to breed.

Her husband, Sisyphus, son of Æolus, grandson of Deucalion (the Greek Noah), and great-grandson of Prometheus. Sisyphus founded the city of Ephyre (Corinth) and later revealed Zeus's rape of Ægina to her father Asopus (a river), for which Zeus condemned him to roll a huge stone up a hill in Hades, only to have it roll back down each time the task was nearly done.

The bright star shrouded in nebulosity at center left is Merope, the star that marks the southernmost corner of the Pleiades "dipper," while the bright star at the upper right in its own nebulosity marks the easternmost corner of the "dipper."

The nebulosity evident is deceptive. It's not gas, but mostly dust, and it's not around those stars, but actually much closer. What appears to us as nebulosity surrounding these stars is actually a huge and very sparse dust cloud which happens to lie along our line of sight to the bright Pleiades cluster. The dust cloud glows a bluish color only because it is diffusing the light of the bright blue stars which lie behind it.

Deep Sky Photos

Merope - 23 Tau, SAO 76172, HD 23480, magnitude 4.18, spectral type B6 IVe.

Merope often is considered the Lost Pleiad, because, having married a mortal, the crafty Sisyphus, she hid her face in shame when she thought of her sisters' alliances with the gods, and realized that she had thrown herself away. She seems, however, to have recovered her equanimity, being now much brighter than some of the others. The name itself signifies "Mortal."

This star is enveloped in a faintly extended, triangular, nebulous haze, visually discovered by Tempel in October, 1859; and there is a small, distinct nebula, discovered by Barnard in November, 1890, close by Merope, almost hidden in its radiance, although intrinsically very bright.

It is sometimes said that Electra is the 7th Sister. This is her story: One of the Pleiades, the mythical ancestors of the Trojans. She is known as the "Lost Pleiad" for she is said to have disappeared before the Trojan War so that she would not see her favorite city destroyed. She shows herself occasionly, but only in the guise of a comet.

The seven "sisters" are Alcyone, Asterope (a double star),
Electra, Maia, Merope, Taygeta and Celaeno; Atlas and
Pleione are their "father" and "mother".

Taurus Star Chart  

In Taurus, the better-known group of 'maidens' is the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters, a small but very noticeable cluster of stars on the bull's shoulder. They were called the 'sailing stars," for early Greek seamen would set sail only when they were visible. On a clear night a person can resolve six individual stars, and thousands of years ago, it was likely that seven were visible.

The Maya say the solar system rotates around Alcyone in a 26,000 period. The end of this period is Dec 23, 2012 and is supposed to be the birth of Venus.

Various events are prophesied by various cultures' use of time cycles. The Phoenix cycle happens every 500 years and is based on the Christian calendar. The Aztecs and Mayans have their own cycle, based on the rebirth of Venus, which ends on Dec 23, 2012. Another Mayan 26,000 year cycle is based on the Pleiades star cluster and is called the Great year. On Dec 23, 2012, a Great year and a Sun year (104,000 year cycle) ends.

The Pleiades is a name given to a cluster of stars in the shoulder area of the constellation of Taurus, the Bull. Six of the many hundreds of stars in this cluster are easily seen with the naked eye. A seventh star, that is invisible or hidden, is often included when reference is made to the stars of the Pleiades. These stars have been recognized and celebrated in nearly every culture that has lived on the Earth.

During November the stars of the Pleiades can be seen in the sky for nearly the entire duration of the darkness of night. During this time of the year the stars of the Pleiades rise as the Sun sets, reach their highest place in the sky at midnight and then set at sunrise.

Another Pleiadian cycle involves the planet Venus. Every eight years for a few hours after sunset during April Venus can be seen very close to the stars of the Pleiades. Viewed from Earth, Venus returns to the same area of the sky every eight years. As Venus returns every eight years, it gets closer and closer to the Pleiades. In 1972, Venus reached a position within 1° of the star Alcyone. It approached even closer in 1980 and closer still in 1988. Venus' return will again be even closer to the Pleiades in 2004. When Venus returns in 2012, it will be nearer to the central star Alcyone than some of the other stars in the Pleiades including the one called Maia.

THE PLEIADES IN ASTROLOGY

THE ZODIAC

ZODIACAL ORDER - SIGN OR CONSTELLATION - (ENGLISH NAME)

1- Aries (Ram) 2- Taurus (Bull) 3- Gemini (Twins) 4- Cancer (Crab) 5- Leo (Lion) 6- Virgo (Virgin) 7- Libra (Scales) 8- Scorpio (Scorpion) 9- Sagittarius (Archer) 10- Capricornus (Goat) 11- Aquarius (Water Bearer) 12- Pisces (Fishes)

The zodiac was considered to be the 'true earth.' The stars and planets that inhabited the true earth were called the 'lords of time,' the originators of history, with earthbound man playing the role of mere spectators to 'earthshaking' cosmic events.

The four seasons are related to the four 'corners' or 'pillars' of the sky. These 'pillars' are the constellations in the zodiac where the sun is located at the equinoxes and solstices. The equinoxes are the two events during the year when the days and nights are of equal duration, roughly March 21, the Spring equinox, and September 21, the Fall equinox. The two solstices are the events when the day is longest and shortest, roughly June 21, the Summer solstice, and December 21, the Winter solstice.

If one connects the 'four corners' of the zodiac with imaginary straight lines, one obtains the 'square earth.'

The 12 signs of the zodiac are envisioned as 12 'doors' or 'houses.' Because of the Precession, the sun enters a different 'house' at springtime about once per 2-thousand years and causes us to enter a new astrological 'Age.' The phenomenon was well known to the ancient astrologers, and it was used as a title of the Age of human history in which one lived. If the sun rose in Aries at the Spring equinox, it was called the Age of ARIES. If the Spring equinox was in Pisces, it was called the Age of PISCES, etc. Actually, every astrological Age had a double name, e.g. ARIES-Libra, PISCES-Virgo, etc. The double name comes from the names of the constellations or 'signs' where the sun rises at both the SPRING and Fall seasons of the year. Modern astrologers say that we are now entering the Age of AQUARIUS-Leo or Leo- AQUARIUS.

Next, we consider some astrological symbolism in the Book of Genesis. Genesis 49 is a word picture describing the signs of the zodiac and are correlated with the names of the 12 tribes:

Reuben, 'boiling over with water,' is Aquarius (the Water Bearer)

Simeon and Levi, 'the brethren,' are Gemini (the Twins)

Judah,'the lion's whelp,' is Leo (the Lion)

Zebulon, 'who shall dwell at the beach of the sea,' is Pisces (the Fishes)

Issachar, 'a gelded donkey lying down in the cattle pens (REB)' is Taurus (the Bull)

Dan, 'a serpent in the way,' is Scorpio (the Scorpion)

Gad, 'a troop shall press upon him; but he shall press upon their heel,' is Aries (the Ram). [Aries, being the first sign of the zodiac, 'presses upon their heel' in the circular zodiac.]

Asher, 'the weigher of bread,' is Libra (the Scales)

Nephtali, 'a hind let loose,' is Capricorn (the Goat)

Joseph, 'whose bow abides in strength,' is Sagittarius (the Archer)

Benjamin, 'ravening as a wolf, devouring his prey by morning, dividing the spoil at night,' is Cancer (the Crab)

The 12 sons have been named but one sign remains- Virgo (the Virgin). This sign is 'veiled,' and is correlated with Dinah, Jacob's daughter (Gen 30:21).

In addition to the names 'Pisces,' etc., the ancient Jewish astrologers named the signs of the zodiac after the twelve tribes in the manner suggested in Genesis. Thus the name of the first sign was 'Gad/Aries'; the second sign was 'Issachar/Taurus', etc.

Zodiac-Gematria


THE PLEIADES IN THE BIBLE

And there is a link to the Bible. The Lord challenged Job : "Canst thou bind the sweet influence of the Pleiades ?", Job 3:31.

In pre-patriarchal Jerusalem, the Menorah (the 7 branched candlestick) originally symbolized the Pleiades in their aspect of the sevenfold "Men-horac"/"Moon Priestesses, with links once again to the Goddess Hathor" which returns us once again to 7 ladies and the Pleiades.

Job 9:8 - Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. 9:9 Which maketh Arcturus (the great bear), Orion (Hebrew, the fool fettered with "bands.") and Pleiades (lit. "the heap of stars." Arabic: "knot of stars." The various names of this constellation in the East expresses the close union of the stars in it ass in Amos 5:8), and the chambers of the south (the unseen regions of the southern hemisphere, with its own set of stars, as different from those just mentioned of the northern. The true structure of the earth is her implied, a globular form). One scholar, named Brinkley presumed that the stars mentioned here were those of Taurus and Scorpio, and that these were the cardinal constellations of spring and autumn in Job's time, calculated by the precession of equinoxes, the time of Job to be 818 years after the Deluge and 184 years before Abram.

Job 38:31 - Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades (The sweet influences reflect the joy diffused by spring, the time when Pleiades appear. Gesenius translated, "bands" or "knot", which is a better answer. The seven stars are closely "bound" together as seen in Job 9:9) or loose the bands of Orion?

Job 38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

Job 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

Amos 5:8 - Seek him that maketh the seven stars (lit. "the heap or cluster of seven larger stars and the smaller as seen in Job 9:9, 38:31. The former whole passage seems to have been in Amos 'mind. He names the stars well known for shepherds. Orion as the precursor of the tempests which are more threatened, and the Pleiades ushering in spring) and Orion, the turneth the shadow of death into the morning and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea and poureth them out upon the face of the earth, The LORD is his name.

The seven stars are not mentioned again until Rev. 1:16, 1:20, 2:1, 3:1 as the seven churches in Asia

The Seven Churches

The Seven Churches of Asia

Revelation1:11 Saying, I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and last and what
thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in
Asia, Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos and unto Thyatira, and
unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the
seven stars which thous sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden
candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the
seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

Job 38:31 may represent a very remote age. Alcyone, brightest of the 7 stars of Pleiades, was considered by the Ancients as the central point around which our universe of fixed stars revolves, the focus from which and into which the divine Breath of Motion works during our present Space-Time span. The Chaldeans called the Pleiades 'Chimah." meaning 'hinge'.
Occult legends associate the Pleiades and Orion, known in Hebrew as 'kesil' the 'Strong'.

Some believe that the loosening of the bands of Orion means distortion of gravitation as stated in Job 38:13. "Have you taught it to grasp the rings of the earth, and shake the Dog Star from its place?" The Holy Bible states Job 38:13 as "That it might take hold of the ends of the earth (Spread itself over the earth to it's utmost bounds in a moment), that the wicked (those who hate the light, and do their evil works in the dark as seen in Job 24:13) might be shaken out of it? (the corners or Hebrew, wings or skirts, of it, as of a garment, are taken hold by the day spring so as to shake off the wicked)"

The shaking of Sirius (Latin Sirius, from greek Seirios, from seirios, burning), was very sacred to the Egyptians. The Dog Star or Sirius , is the brightest star in the sky, approximately 8.6 light-years distant from earth. It has another name of So this (Greek So this, from Egyptian spdf) Procyon is the binary star in the constellation Canis MInor, which is also called the Dog Star (Latin Procyon, from Greek Procyon; pro-, before; + kuon, dog).

Job 39:5 - Who hath sent out the wild ass (Hebrew' the ass of the woods' and 'the wild ass'. See Job 6:5; 11:12; 24:5; Jer. 2:24) free? or who hath loosed the bands (man can rob animals of freedom) of the wild ass? 39:6 - whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren (unfruitful) land his dwellings 39:7 He scorneth the multitude (dim defies the driver who tames) of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. 39:8 The range (lit. searching) of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.

The Orion Mystery


THE PLEIADES TO THE MAYANS

One of the important associations made with the movement of the stars of the Pleiades is that of time-keeping. Many calendar systems utilized the positions of the Pleiades, some agricultural and some sacred. Every 52-years a celebration in Mesoamerica was timed to when the Pleiades were directly overhead at midnight.

The Pleiades were used to orient many sacred sites. The pyramid and temple complex of Teotihuacan, near Mexico City, is an example of a site oriented to where the Pleiades set along the horizon. The temples in Greece and Ancient Egypt were oriented in space to these stars. The Great Pyramid at Giza is also said to have been built in alignment with the Pleiades. Many temples, stone circles and other rock formations in Polynesia and numerous other places on the planet indicate Pleiadian alignments.

During the peak period of Mayan civilization 300 to 800 AD, the Pleiades passed directly overhead of the ceremonial temples of Tikal (17°N13') and Palenque (17°30'), every day. In the late 900s, Chichén Itzá it is reported that this site was "reactivated" by the historical Quetzalcoatl. Not only the Pleiades passed directly over this site, but the star called Maia passed directly over the zenith of Chichén Itzá (20°N41'). The passage of the Pleiades over the Yucatan no longer occurred by the time the Spanish arrived in the 1500s.

Starting about the middle of May the Sun is aligned between the Earth and the stars of the Pleiades. The Sun is astrologically conjunct these stars at this time. The stars of the Pleiades are not visible at any time of the night during this time of the year due to their close proximity to the Sun.  The Pleiades are visible and can be seen rising at dawn staring about ten days later around June 1 and is called the heliacal rising of the Pleiades. This time period is regarded as sacred to those who honor Pleiadian cycles.

The 5000-year Mayan calendar cycle ends in 2012, the same year as a Venus passage through the stars of the Pleiades. Also in 2012, on May 20, there will be a solar eclipse astrologically conjunct the stars of the Pleiades. This alignment will be of the Sun and the Moon between the Earth and the stars of the Pleiades.  See: All About 2012

It is said that our spiritual guidance comes from this area of the stars - - - The Pleiades.



THE  PLEIADES AND THE CALENDAR

Exemplified in the writings of R.G. Haliburton, in the journal titled Nature (December, 1881 issue) he was able to gather sufficient information to offer some rather dramatic thoughts about the Pleiades. He believed that, a world-wide tradition of relating to the Pleiades had its source at a distant, beginning point in the history of humankind. An era when the constellation represented the "central sun of all religions, calendars, myths, traditions, and symbolism."

Haliburton recorded that "the ancients believed that Alcyone of the Pleiades was the center of the universe ~ that Paradise, the primal home of humankind and the abode of the Deity and the spirits of the dead, was in the Pleiades". Haliburton only had access to research more than a century away from the present. In many respects, the current total of information makes some of his observations seem rather conservative.
Note:  One macro-cosmic way to answer that question is to say that our World is coming around the Sun at a rate of once every three hundred sixty-five and one-fourth days. Our Sun, bringing us with it, is traveling around a star in the Pleiades called Alcyone (sound familiar?). One complete cycle encompasses the duration of twelve Ages of 2,160 years each; a total of 25,920 years. Alcyone, in turn (bringing our Sun and us with it) is traveling around a Great Central Sun. The time for that trip takes ten of the cycles that are twelve Ages each; ten of the 25,920 year cycles. This information is very ably provided in the book The Seven Rays of the Q.B.L. by Frater Albertus.

The Universal Christ Spirit

The Hopi Indians are the Record Keepers of the Native Americans. The Hopis call this the "The Fourth Age of Man". According to them the earth has been wiped clean 3 times already. First by Fire, next by Ice, most recently by the flood... approximately 11,000-12,000 years ago. Some believe that the actual date of the flood occured on June 5, 8498 BC. According to the Hopis we are about to enter "The Fifth Age", which they call "The World of Illumination", which seems to coincide with the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. The Hopis say that there will 2 more worlds after this. "The Sixth Age" which is "The World of Prophecy and Revelation" and "The Seventh Age" which is "The World of Completion".

In pre-Vedic (Dravidian) India, the Pleiades were referred to on two levels: as the "Seven Mothers of the World" (one of which was Kali); and as the "Seven Priestesses who made judgment on men. An ancient calendar was discovered in Tirvalon. Within that calendar, the time frame we relate to as November, was recorded as "Kartica", the Dravidian word for the Pleiades. In modern patriarchal India, the Pleiades, who were once symbolized as the source of the 7 Mothers of the ancient human/Pleiadian race & as the 7 Spiritual Judges of humankind ~ are now known as the 6 nurses.

That Dravidian calendar designation for the Pleiades is important. In truely ancient Greece, the Parthenon as well as many of the oldest of the Greek temples were astronomically oriented to the Pleiades. In that Dorian era of Greece, the calendar was regulated by the position of the Pleiades.

The Doric calendar had two prime times, two times virtually forgotten and yet prominently remembered. A time frame set between, what is now, the 1st of May and the 1st of November, became the navigational season for ancient Greece ~ a time to honour the Pleiades, that had an archaic link to travelers to the Dorians. The ancient/astronomical calendars, had 13 moons, and the solstices and equinoxes. But there were also four other significant times, the cross-quarter holidays, each half-way between an equinox & a solstice. The two prominent Dorian cross-quarter times evolved into specific days on modern calendars ~ May Day & Halloween.

May Day, the Feast of Life and November Eve, the Feast of Death. Though severely suppressed by the Church, in Northern European Countries (such as Ireland), there was an All Souls Day tradition of offering prayers for the dead in the direction of the Pleiades (an archaic remnant of the Egyptian ritual of the dead, which included speaking the names of the Seven Hathors/the Pleiades, to begin the journey to the paradise in the distant stars).

According to Gary Val Tenuta regarding the calendar change, the Mayan's did not specify 22 December 2012 in their writings. That's just the date which happens to fall on the day they said would be the end of this current age. The beginning of this current age was marked by what the Mayans called "the birth of Venus". This was the event of Venus rising on one horizon at the same time the Pleiades was disappearing below the opposite horizon. It just happens that on 22 December 2012, we will witness the "death of Venus", marking the end of this age, when Venus will disappear below one horizon while the Pleiades will be rising over the opposite horizon. So this all has to with celestial events, including sun spot cycles, and their effects on human populations. The Mayans had a "day count" which corresponded to these events and, thus, they were able to predict future celestial events. The number of days from the beginning of the age to the end of the age is 1,872,000 days. The way we know 22 Dec 2012 is the last day of that number is that a man named Alfred Maudsely, in the early 1900s, worked out the Mayan coding in comparison to our own calendar. His work was considered ground breaking and was published in 1905 in the journal American Anthropologist. As I understand it, any differences between the Julian calendar and our current Gregorian calendar were taken into account. In any case, it wouldn't seem to matter anyway. The beginning of the current age was marked by a celestial event the date of which we can identify by backtracking with the use of modern computer programs. From that starting point we can count forward 1,872,000 days and the date we arrive at is 22 December 2012.

When studying the Zodiac" it is amazing to see that all the major themes of scripture concerning God's great plan of creation and redemption are clearly figured in the Signs of the heavens. God wrote the gospel in the stars! Many people have shied away from teachings concerning the Zodiac out of fear of venturing into the occult of astrology -- a valid concern.

However in Job 38:31-32 we read, "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?" Mazzaroth is a Hebrew word which means "the constellations of the Zodiac." Hidden in plain sight in Job chapters 38 and 39, are given the twelve Signs: Battles of heaven -- Job 38:37; Lions -- Job 38:39; Ravens -- Job 39:41; Wild goats -- Job 39:1; Hinds -- Job 39:1; Wild ass -- Job 39:5; Unicorn 39:9; Peacocks --Job 39.13; Ostrich -- Job 39:13; Horse -- Job 39:19; Hawk -- Job 39:26; Eagle -- Job 39:27.

What is the purpose of placing these verses in the Bible. Does it merely concern some mysterious physical influences of the sun, moon and stars over the earth and men's lives -- or is it something far grander and greater?

In the book of Revelation the Holy Spirit gives us the symbols of the lion, the calf, the man, and the eagle and also of the twelve tribes in the heavens. Are these the true powers in the heavens that project their dominion upon the earth! Are these the ensigns and standards that show that the heavens rule!

There are also religious implications from the practices of the ancient Babylonians. 40 is the number of probation; trial; initiation; death. As an elevation of four it is wholeness and totality. The importance of the "forty days" probably comes from the Babylonian forty days' disappearance of the Pleiades, a period of rains, storms, floods and dangers. The return of the Pleiades was a time of rejoicing and a bundle of forty reeds was burned for the forty days of evil power.


THE SPIRALING ENERGIES

RIGEL

His energy is the spiral of creation.
He is often perceived with the eagle or hawk's head and a human body.
Some people see him as a white column of light.

SEED - TREE- FRUIT
the cycle of creation

The whole universe is held together by means of vortices within vortices of centripetal energy--with their associated electromagnetic fields--like whirlpools on water, within larger whirlpools. These spiraling energies give rise to natural space-time orbits: satellites around planets, planets around stars, solar systems around other more major vortex centers, and so on. Our planet Earth orbits the Sun once a year but our solar system as a whole also traverses an orbit in this section of the galaxy with a period of about 24,000 years. There are many other solar (star) systems in this cyclic motion. The Pleiades, about 400 light years from us is part of this system and in fact our solar system orbits the central sun of the Pleiades, Alcyone; the photon belt encircles the Pleiades system. Thus our solar system, and therefore planet Earth, takes some 24,000 years to come back to its same point in this particular orbit. Picture several star systems in a massive orbit, but now envisage a torroid or doughnut-shaped cloud cutting across these orbiting star systems. This is the photon belt. This means our solar system goes through the belt twice each cycle of 24,000 years (that is, every half cycle). The thickness of the photon cloud is such that it takes about 2000 years for our solar system to pass through, and therefore about 10,000 years between each encounter with this belt (2 x 10,000 plus 2 x 2000 = 24,000 years). When will this occur? Scientists around the globe in 1992 predicted that the encounter would occur within months to a year; with significant disagreements. However, Pleiadian extraterrestrials indicated that it would not occur until just after 2010 and that it was difficult to predict since the belt was oscillating randomly. There are in fact huge discrepancies in channeled material regarding the date of this revelatory occurrence, ranging from 1996 to 'definitely before the end of this century' to 2003 and finally, and more likely, about 2011-2012.

The term "electromagnetic" is used to describe the phenomenon-- this is the same as photon, which is a particle of light or electromagnetic radiation.

It appears that for mankind on this planet the photon belt encounter will be essentially a spiritual experience--but this really depends on man. If we are sufficiently evolved at the time, great advancements will occur in our consciousness as we attune to the high- frequency photon rays. If we are negative, that is, possess too many lower vibrations, the result of selfish actions, we are not expected to survive the radiation. In other words, there will be a natural spiritual selection.

The Convergence- Two Streams of Future Probability - by Kiara Earthwalker

In his book Spirit Visions - The Old One's Speak, Dennison Tsosie  the Native American seer said, There's people called Light People who carry the flame of the Source . . . They are here to teach healing with the hands . . . Healers will work with light energy through their hands and will be able to do things you can't even imagine now."

"Do you know the names of the stars in the Pleiades? . . . Keep an eye on the stars in the handle of the Little Dipper; from them will come a message for all mankind to see."

Telescope Pursues Mystery

By John Fleck - Journal Staff Writer

Los Alamos scientist Jim Wren is chasing an odd new astronomical beast.

Using an unusual telescope that scans the entire sky night after night, Wren and his colleagues are helping study a strange galactic object discovered 11 days ago with a NASA satellite.

"It's a mystery," said Wren, a Los Alamos National Laboratory astronomer.

The object seems to flare and then dim like a slow-moving searchlight, said Massachusetts Institute of Technology astrophysicist Ron Remillard.

It's probably a black hole of some sort on the fringes of our galaxy, but exactly how it's doing the things the astronomers are seeing remains a mystery, Remillard said.

Remillard, using an instrument aboard a NASA satellite that records naturally emitted X-rays from distant stars, began playing cat-and-mouse with the strange object March 29.

He was analyzing satellite data collected over the previous week and saw a new bright object in the Big Dipper.

"It was a fun puzzle from the beginning," Remillard said.

As soon as he verified that he was seeing something real, rather than an error in his data, Remillard sent out an electronic alert to the international astronomical community, asking people to make follow-up observations of the object.

Within an hour, an observer in Japan reported that he had spotted the object.

But since the object seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, Remillard needed to know its history. Had it flared before? If it was pulsing, how fast were the pulses?

That's the sort of astronomical mystery Wren and his colleagues with the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment salivate over.

Where most telescopes peer deeply at a single tiny spot in the sky for hours, ROTSE (pronounced "ROT-see") uses a wide-angle lens to march across the sky, building a mosaic of images of the entire visible sky every night.

Because they scan the entire sky every night, Wren and his colleagues had an archive of pictures of the object.

Finding the object would have been a needle-in-a-haystack sort of problem. ROTSE takes pictures of 10 million stars and galaxies a night, so many that it's unlikely the scientists would have seen the strange, changing object on their own.

But Remillard's announcement told them where to look, allowing them to go back through their data and find that the object had flared at least once before, in January, Wren said.

The object brightened rapidly, then leveled off before fading, Wren said.

"It's definitely a strange object," he said.

Remillard theorizes the light is coming from the neighborhood of a black hole, an object so massive that nothing, not even light, can escape the clutches of its gravity.

The black hole, he thinks, is sucking in dust and gas, which heats as it spirals toward its death, giving off the light and X-rays the astronomers are seeing.

He has seen similar things before, but the pattern of pulsing light and X-rays this time is different.

"There's a big mystery here that's not solved," Remillard said.

The ROTSE data was crucial to figuring out what is going on, Remillard said, because there is no other way to look back over time and see what the object had been up to.

ROTSE was built in 1997 by the University of Michigan, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to study gamma-ray bursts, strange blasts in the distant universe.

But while it waits for a gamma-ray burst, the telescope spends its nights scanning the skies, and has become a valuable tool for studying stars and galaxies that change over time, said Carl Akerlof, the University of Michigan astrophysicist who heads up the project.

It occupies an odd astronomical niche.

Most astronomers study objects one at a time, revisiting them occasionally if needed to see if they're changing.

ROTSE sees 10 million objects in the sky every night, said University of Michigan astrophysicist Tim McKay, another member of the ROTSE team.

Because it scans so much sky, it misses the fainter objects that can be seen with larger telescopes, but it makes up for that with the massive number of repeat observations it can carry out, according to McKay.

"Anything that gets bright enough, we've got it," he said.

It has already paid dividends, according to Akerlof.

"When you open up another corner of nature," Akerlof said, "nature usually rewards you."

Fleck

"The Grail is abundance for all Mankind, a time when all man will believe in the same Source. It is the return of Nature, the return of the Golden Age, the return of the Gods to Earth. Paradise regained. Mankind will be one with God."

"The Grail is also a bloodline. There was a time when beings you called Sons of God and Angels walked on earth. They were from another plane. They wished to manifest in physical form, and they combined with Mankind, to create beings who were half 'God' and half man."

"There will be beings called Aloids that will come into existence at this time who will interact with Mankind and be accepted by Mankind. They will look more like humans, but they are what you call aliens. They are made from samples of human genetic material taken from earth beings."

"We call the Watchers planetary beings. They are associated with the regenerating of Mankind and oversee the resources on the planet, reassuring there will always be Mankind."

"Why does Mankind fear so much when there is nothing to fear? They create their own fears when none are there. That's a lesson yet to be learned by him."

" . . . certain symbols, like the cross, the triangle, the square, and the circle, have a lot of power, and if used properly, they can manifest things you want . . . The serpent or dragon had a very powerful meaning."

"The human body is a reflection of Mother Earth. We humans have certain points of spiraling energy that go in different directions, either clockwise or counterclockwise. We call them Chakras. The earth also has such points . . . There are certain places on earth, such as Stonehenge, as well as many other sacred places, that relate to these points. Some of these places, if seen from above earth, form the shape of a dragon. These points relate to and are connected to certain stars and receive energy from these stars. The star pattern also forms a serpent or dragon."

"Another powerful symbol is the Tree of Life. It is directly related to man's spiritual connections to the earth and the Creator."  

"The old earth religions and the ways of the primitive peoples, the spiritual practices and teachings, are what kept the world in balance. We must learn them again if we are to survive."

"There are still many things that exist on the earth plane that are yet to be discovered, such as the Cup of Christ - things which people's belief systems will manifest."

"As people come to believe in something, when the belief energy is strong enough, it will be manifest."

"Our history is all wrong. Our beliefs are all wrong, and things must come about to shake our belief systems before new beliefs can come in."

If Dennison's sources and others are right, the new ideas need to be shared with those interested. I do think this is critical to bringing about the positive change.

Joe Mason states, "One of my dreams showed this as being like gravity . . . each believer adds their small part to the whole. Dreams of atomic or nova explosions may hint that "critical mass" has been reached, that will cause a sudden, dramatic change. "

In 1998, Ludwig Kumpf, an elderly German ham radio operator and his assistant, both international pioneers in transcommunication techniques, picked up transmissions from an interstellar group calling themselves the Umer who said that they were our ancestors from star number 20 in the Pleiades. In several transmissions, this group said they had made crop circles and also gave a series of warnings. Basically, these said that mankind was disgracing and killing the Earth because we couldn't be good. However, the nature of the material is now being accelerated by the starfire of the entire Cosmos that is now moving here. The Umer say that unless we change, the Earth will go through a shambles because we are "lighting the atom" again. The Umer are coming back to talk to us of the language of and in the Earth and are genetically seeding it with pictograms. They say a quantum leap is coming up and the whole world is being embraced now in readiness for this event.

If I may insert an opinion of my own and others who dream vividly and frequently of world changes, there is no doubt that we are being led to some 'truth' which is evident to the other higher dimensions of the spirit world and they are imparting this information to us so that we may be aware of impending disaster and perhaps work towards solving this problem in advance and perhaps avert the disaster or at least diminish it.

It is evident that the crop circles we are seeing more and more frequently and in increasing complexity, that messages are being imparted to the entire world in a graphic way rather than in words ... the language of the higher dimensions.  

See:  Crop Circles - Their Meaning And Connections  To Dreams

A reprogramming of the physical consciousness is taking place in twelve major crystalline regions around the Earth. These twelve major regions are all focused towards the Great Pyramid at Giza which is the central alignment for major star positions controlling the geomagnetic grids of the earth.

Into these twelve pyramidal regions the capstone of Light will come down to complete the changing of the spiritual hierarchy. This will be the time when the twelve tribes of the physical Israel and the twelve consciousness levels of the spiritual Israel will unite around each manifestation of the Eben Shettiyah, the foundation stone for the Living Light upon this planet.

It is important to note that the The Hall of Records exists physically within the Giza Plateau. The same information that is in that space is also located within other locations throughout the world: South America, India, China, Mexico, etc. When these halls of records are discovered, mankind will find that they validate each other with story of our true past.

The Emerald Tablets is an example of the validation of the Dead Sea Scrolls which have already been transcribed by the Benedictine monks that were sworn to secrecy. This information is now being released; the contradictions of what religion is today and where Christianity began, the Israelites and the Hebrews. All the information that Moses brought forth is better recorded in the Dead Sea Scrolls which go back to ten thousand five hundred years ago. It was about the communication between other dimensions. They communicated with the star Sirius and the Pleiades and other star systems. Now with our contact with higher dimensions we are repeating the First Times.

The grid structure of the Earth is such that the Great Pyramid is the central cornerstone within the New Jerusalem which connects the pyramidal capstone of the Merkabah vehicle (under the Order of Melchizedek), with the twelve consciousness Light zones on this planet."

In 1993, approximately in November, Joe Mason had a dream/voice message "The Merkabah will not come for another five years." That makes the date approximately November, 1998

Joe Mason is a direct descendant of Patrick Henry, the great statesman who said, "Give me liberty or give me death". Joe continues the family heritage.

Joe feels that the symbolism is related to the great solar eclipse of Aug. 11, 1999. At that time the planets were aligned in a "Grand Cross" pointing to Leo, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius, which are the Four Living Creatures of Ezekiel and Revelation. The book of Ezekiel says that there are 4 wheels that travel along beside the living creatures and their spirits are in the wheels. H.P. Blavatsky calls this "Ezekiels Wagon", and said that it is related to the Sanskrit concept of the Vehana which means vehicle. The kabalists word for this is the "Merkabah", which means four wheeled chariot. The Keys of Enoch calls it the "vehicle of vehicles".

The total solar eclipse of the sun on August 11, 1999 at 11:11 a.m. was at Cornwall, England, it's first landfall after crossing the Atlantic Ocean. It is at Cornwall, England that King Arthur reigned who quested after the Holy Grail. It is said that King Arthur is going to return, and that return is related to the Second Coming of Christ who is the capstone of the Great Pyramid.  Details and maps of the Eclipse

TAURUS STELLIUM SUPPLEMENT to the Universal Festival Calendar for May, 2000

The Grand Planetary Alignment of May 2-5 is the most momentous astral event since the Grand Cross formations of August, 1999. It is also the moment of cosmic birth at the end of the gestation period that began last summer. 5/5/2000 comes 269 days after 8/11/99, thus bringing to birth the energies seeded by last year's first Grand Cross. The arithmetic of the moment is easy. Far more complex and controversial is the question that ends this report: exactly what will be born this year in the early days of May?

This Supplement has four sections:

1. Defining the Window
2. Astrology
3. Mythic Resonance
4. Cosmic Birth

1. General Introduction: Defining The Window -  A stellium (Latin, plural stellia) is any astral alignment in which five or more planets--including the Sun and Moon--are concentrated in one of the 12 signs of the zodiac. A grand stellium is an alignment of seven or more planets in one sign. The most accurate way to describe what will happen on May 2-3 (depending on your time zone) is that a grand stellium will form in Taurus for about 14 hours, followed by a stellium lasting until May 13. The main energy of this powerful planetary cluster is on May 2-3, and that is why our main attention naturally goes there.

The exact sequence of events:

. 4/29 (Sat)--4/30 (Sun): Mercury enters Taurus, followed by Venus, to join the four planets already in Taurus and form a stellium.

. 5/3 (Wed), 4:54 a.m. UT ("Universal Time" in Greenwich): the Moon enters Taurus as the seventh planet forming a Grand Stellium. Note that this will occur in the evening of 5/2 in the Americas and other locations west of Greenwich by 5 hours or more.

. 5/3 (Wed), 7:19pm UT: Mars exits into Gemini. The Grand Stellium ends.

. 5/4 (Thu), 4:12am: New Moon, Sun conjunct Moon in Taurus.

The Moon exits into Gemini on 5/4, leaving a stellium of 5 planets. When Mercury moves into Gemini on 5/13, the stellium ends. By the month's end, only Jupiter and Saturn are in Taurus, forming the Chronocrator, or "Ruler of Time" conjunction (see Universal Festival Calendar for 5/28). The main energy of the planetary alignment is in the first few days of May, at the time of the Grand Stellium and New Moon, while the two weeks from 4/29 to 5/13 are almost as highly charged as the Grand Stellium itself. It is also important that the astral energy of the Grand Stellium is fortified by the earth energy of the Mid-Spring Festival, which comes annually on May 1-3.

Stellia are not that uncommon. Many people, including the author, have a stellium in their natal charts. Even grand stellia are not that rare.

A superb article by Mark Krueger documents nine grand stellia between April, 1845 and May, 2000. However, only two of these nine stellia (in 1962 and 2000) are the rarer ones which contain none of the "outer planets" (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto), but consist only of the seven bodies defined as "planets" in classical astrology: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Broadly speaking, this year's Taurus Stellium begins on April 29, when Mercury enters Taurus to join the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn in forming the critical mass of five planets in the same sign. Venus enters Taurus on April 30, followed by the Moon on May 2, forming the maximum cluster of seven planets. The energy of the Stellium begins to wane on May 4, when both Mars and the Moon begin to exit into Gemini. The Stellium dissolves on May 13, when Mercury enters Gemini. By May 25 only Jupiter and Saturn, moving into exact alignment in the Chronocrator ("Ruler of Time") conjunction, remain in Taurus. (See Universal Festival Calendar for 5/28).

While May 2--3 will be the ideal time for synchronized meditations, the energy of the Grand Stellium remains very strong throughout the weekend, and this is why countless events such as Earth Healing Day are scheduled for Thursday, May 4 (when the energy of the Taurus Stellium is fortified by the New Moon) and Friday, May 5. Synchronized meditations and ceremonies will continue through the weekend of May 6-7.

2. ASTROLOGY

Readers who wish to avoid technical material, or astrology altogether, may wish to skip to the Interpretation section of this piece, or to 3.

Mythic Resonance.

a. Specifications:

As always, casting a chart for an event like the Grand Stellium requires that the astrologer choose a specific moment within a time window that may last hours, even days; and also decide the place for which the chart will be cast. The possibilities are limitless, and choices are necessarily subjective, depending on the interests and beliefs of the individual observer. Several Grand Stellium charts will appear in the months to come, cast for places that astrologers have conventionally designated "Taurus countries" and for exact planetary combinations such as the New Moon (5/4 at 4:12 a.m. UT).

The Grand Taurus Stellium chart cast for this report will be visible soon on the new Hermes 3 website. The chart can be set up from the following coordinates, cusps and planetary positions:

May 3, 2000 9:12 a.m. Greenwich Mean Daylight Time (8:12 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time, Greenwich, England)

1.) First House (Ascendant) cusp: 14° Cancer 50'; Moon's North Node (Dragon's Head) at 27° Cancer 40'

2.) Second House cusp: 0° Leo 31'

3.) Third House cusp: 18° Leo 46'

4.) Fourth House cusp: 13° Virgo 13'

5.) Fifth House cusp: 19° Libra 12'; The sign of Scorpio is "intercepted" in this House

6.) Sixth House cusp: 5° Sagittarius 59'

Pluto at 12° Sagittarius 17' Retrograde; Chiron at 16° Sagittarius 12' Retrograde

7.) Seventh House cusp: 14° Capricorn 50'; Moon's South Node (Dragon's Tail) at 27° Capricorn 40'

8.) Eighth House cusp: 0° Aquarius 31'; Neptune at 6° Aquarius 34'

9.) Ninth House cusp: 18° Aquarius 46'; Uranus at 20° Aquarius 38'

10.) Tenth House cusp (Midheaven): 13° Pisces 13

11.) Eleventh House cusp at 19° Aries 12'; The sign of Taurus is "intercepted" in this House, and contains a Grand Stellium: Moon at 1° 58', Venus at 2° 44', Mercury at 6° 27', Sun at 13° 12', Jupiter at 16° 44', Saturn at 19° 29 and Mars at 29° 40'.

12.) Twelfth House cusp: 5° Gemini 59'

The chart shown here is within the narrow window described above for the Grand seven-planet Stellium on 5/3. This chart has the obvious advantage of being symbolically and aesthetically pleasing, with the entire Grand Stellium located within the 11th House, which is traditionally considered the house of friends and allies, and thus implies that we shall gain the full benefit of this astral moment if we link together lovingly with people all over the planet who are like-minded and like-hearted with us in their desire to lift and transform all of humanity. The 11th House is also associated with Aquarius, the 11th sign of the zodiac, and expresses the additional import of the Grand Stellium as one of the true harbingers of the coming Aquarian Age.

The disadvantage of this chart is that the sign of Taurus, and everything in it, is "intercepted" in the sense that the cusps or border points of the 11th house are in Aries and Gemini. When a sign is entirely enclosed by the two neighboring signs, as Taurus is here, its energy is said to be blocked or inhibited in some way. This is perhaps appropriate for the Grand Stellium, as human progress now depends largely on the transformation of negative and limiting thoughtforms, and, as we shall soon see, some of the aspects in this chart clearly embody the increasingly palpable tension in today's world between the growing desire for genuine freedom among more and more individuals, and the determination of fear-based authorities everywhere to maintain domination, manipulation and control. More of this in Mythic Resonance.

b. Aspects:

. Sun conjunct Jupiter, sextile Ascendant and Midheaven, quintile Moon's North Node (Dragon's Head)

. Moon conjunct Venus and Mercury, square Neptune and both Moon's Nodes (Dragon's Head and Dragon's Tail), quintile Uranus and Ascendant

. Mercury square Neptune

. Venus quintile to, and exactly on the midpoint between, Ascendant and Uranus

. Mars trine Moon's South Node (Dragon's Tail), sextile Moon's North Node (Dragon's Head)

. Jupiter conjunct Saturn, sextile Ascendant, quintile Moon's North Node (Dragon's Head)

. Saturn square Uranus (This square is, in fact, the only remaining component of last summer's Grand Cross alignments)

c. Interpretation:

The meaning of this chart, any chart cast for the full or partial Grand Stellium, is mainly in the concentration of so much planetary energy in a single sign--and in the chart shown here, in a single house as well. The two houses and interest areas most highlighted in this chart are: The Second House of money, beauty and art on the earth plane; of the alchemy of attraction on the spirit plane. This house is naturally aligned with Taurus, and is ruled by Venus.

The Eleventh House of friends on the earth plane; of the alchemy of loyalty on the spirit plane. This house is naturally aligned with Aquarius, and is ruled by Uranus.

The brief version of the opportunity this represents is one of the real advantages of the Aquarian Age: that we shall have the chance to master the management of money as an exercise in teamwork and a ceremony of friendship, rather than a conspiracy of fear and paranoia, as it is now that the spiritual ideals of the Piscean Age have largely withered into the terrified grasping of money by those who fear scarcity, and the self-righteous hatred of money by poverts who believe money is dirty, and they themselves are pure because they do not have it. While greed and hatred of money may seem opposite to each other, they are in fact complementary forces that work together to continue to anchor poverty consciousness on the planet. The Grand Stellium offers, among many other things, a chance to help liberate from ignorance some of the people who remain stuck in this two-lane reality tunnel.

It may not be possible for all of humanity at once to get what Buckminster Fuller meant when he said, "There is no shortage of anything. There is only an abundance of ignorance." Or, if the Hundredth Monkey idea is sound, it may indeed be possible for humankind to awaken en masse. Our responsibility to attempt this has been plain for years now. The only question is when we will get it done. Until we do, we can count on receiving signals like the Taurus Stellium, the events of 2012, and more.

In some way the Taurus Stellium must involve a transformation of consciousness about money, as Taurus is the money sign. What form this will take, whether it even signals the birth of a broad-based, post-capitalist economy that will operate better for the good of all, remains to be seen. What we can foresee is that government will become more vocal and ruthless in its attempt to regulate and squeeze cyberbusiness, as the internet is better understood in more of its implications, as not only a movement for the freedom of the mind, but also a system for protecting money against illegitimate taxation and control, and a spiritual vehicle for joining people worldwide in ceremonies of love, forgiveness and liberation. The presence of Neptune, ruler of Pisces, in the Eighth House of Death and Rebirth, suggests that some outworn Piscean thoughtforms may pass on at this time, though the change may not be visible until later. Which pieces of worn Piscean baggage humanity will now choose to discard remains to be seen--but something will get pitched away. As Neptune is square (90 degrees away from) Mercury, Venus and the Moon in Taurus, and thus implies delusion in the areas these planets rule, we can expect more confusion and distortion from Piscean control forces that are facing the ebb of their influence, but will not let go of their claims on billions of human minds.

Which of the old hierarchic notions from the Piscean Age will be the first to go? It's a matter of opinion and taste. Will it be the alleged primacy of intellect over intuition? The supposed inferiority and submissiveness of women? The inherent sinfulness and unworthiness of human nature, and all the rest of the disempowering "original sin" thoughtform? The ultimate authority of purely materialistic science?

Which of these errors will be discarded soon, and which will hang on until the last--for the Tooth and Nail Prize, the smart money is on original sin--remains to be seen, but as all of these thoughtforms are impediments to human and planetary ascension, all of them will have to be outgrown if the progressive Aquarian spiritual paradigm is true. The unstoppable flow of change is also evident in relationships involving the Ascendant in Cancer and the MidHeaven in Pisces. These two points represent, respectively, the horizontal field of consciousness projecting itself in the world, and the vertical thrust of soul aspiration and divine expression. Happily, the Ascendant and MidHeaven are trine each other (at a 120° angle), The 90° relationship between Pluto and the MidHeaven embodies what is already increasingly clear: that moribund policies and institutions of government not only do not support the needs of spirit, but actively align against them, so that the liberation of the collective human soul will come when greater numbers of human beings succeed in discarding the old adversarial habits. In the end, as more human beings perceive that focused intention is less violent and messy than revolution, governments will not have to be terminated. They will evaporate from lack of attention and serious regard. Humanity will have more important work to do.

3. MYTHIC RESONANCE

The mythic resonance of the Grand Stellium is not in the complex relationships of all the planets positioned in Taurus, but in the sign of Taurus itself. If we accept the premise that the sky is a map and picture gallery in which the Divine Teacher displays old and new information for humanity's benefit, and uses exact star and planet formations to encourage human beings to contemplate certain figures and themes more deeply, then one symbol we are meant to study now is Taurus itself. When so many planets gather in one sign, they are in effect asking us to notice something new about that sign--or to remember about it something that humankind used to know, but has forgotten.

While Taurus has always been regarded as a male image--the Latin word itself, like its Greek ancestor, is masculine in gender--the ancients were not nearly as certain as most of us are now that Taurus is a Bull only, period, and cannot possibly be a Cow. Among ancient peoples, Taurus had a mysterious double identity as both a male force of stamina and power, and as a female force who ruled the time of year in which the green plants leaf out, and the new animals begin to grow in the wombs of the mothers to be, from the seeds planted in the month of the Ram.

Venus--and her counterparts such as Aphrodite, Hathor, Inanna and Freya--has been the ruler of Taurus since ancient times. While Venus and her many sisters have always been called "Love Goddesses", and have always embodied the force of erotic love, they have also, all of them, been mothers, and have therefore represented the Triple Goddess (Virgin, Mother, Wise Woman) in the second, physically productive phase of her life. And while Taurus' great "Bull's Eye" star Aldebaran has always been identified with Mars/Aries and other male war gods because of its red color and giant size, the feminine star family of the Pleiades is at the back end of Taurus, perhaps to suggest the double nature of this sign that is formidable Bull in front, and prolific Cow in back, where the milk and the calves emerge. Perhaps this is why the surviving temples, art and historical documents from the Age of Taurus (roughly 4,300 to 2,150 BCE) show, along with the massively-muscled Babylonian winged bulls and the bulls' horns of the earliest Minoan temples, the cow images of Mother Goddesses as well.

Perhaps this is why the Egyptians revered both the Apis Bull, said to embody the male vitality of Osiris, and such female Neters as Isis and Hathor, both often depicted with the symbol of cow's horns. Perhaps this is why the Hindu image of the cow as a "poem of pity" was already very old before Gandhi coined the words. Perhaps the reality is that Taurus is both Bull and Cow, always has been, and one thing that we are supposed to notice, at a time that is ruled by the most intimidating, violent and possessive qualities of the Bull, is that right living requires a proper balance between the Bull and the Cow, and that if one is greatly empowered at the expense of the other, much suffering will result for humanity and for Mother Earth.

This is why the Return of the Goddess is not only at hand, but is already underway all over the planet, and is evident in both positive and negative terms, in everything from the increasing empowerment and public voice of women to Taliban bullies in Afghanistan, elephant-sized SUV's on the other side of the planet, and many other signs of insecure manhood. The restoring of balance is now possible, as women reconnect with the long-forgotten mythic symbol of the Triple Goddess, and understand anew that in her old age she is not merely a "crone" or "witch"--but a Wise Woman whose knowledge of herbs and stones, stars and waters is among the keys to the survival of the community.

The Return of the Goddess is possible only if it is complemented by the Return of the True Warrior, after a time in which false warriors have been dominant. This does not mean that we are on the eve of a battle between the spiritual bird men who fly in love and the material crocodile and donkey men who bite and kick in fear. The point is that the True Warrior's most powerful weapon is Love.

The star map of the winter sky, in which Taurus lives, offers clues about this. Taurus stands facing east toward Orion the Hunter, who apparently extends his left hand, with something in it, toward the Bull/Cow. Behind Orion are the two dogs, the larger of whom is very prominent as the great star Sirius is his left eye. The horns of Taurus point upward, toward Gemini, the Twins, the next constellation in the zodiac. The previous zodiac sign, Aries, is below and a little behind Taurus. Above Taurus' back are the hero Perseus and Auriga, his Charioteer. While Taurus is often shown in pictorial sky charts as charging toward Orion, who holds a club in his hand and is ready to whack the Bull--as though any true Hunter would be mentally unfastened enough to stand in the path of a charging bovine of either sex--the reality is that Taurus has not lowered his horns into a charge. He is standing still, looking at what the Hunter offers him.

The winter sky is a lesson in the education of the Hunter and Warrior, just as the summer sky is a lesson in the education of the Virgin and Mother. Orion is surrounded by others who teach him, from below and going clockwise, when to retreat and conceal (Lepus the Hare), when to link with loyal allies (the Dogs), when to negotiate (Gemini, the Twins), when to attack and how to move (Perseus and Auriga) and most important of all, how to defend with minimum effort and maximum posture (Taurus the Bull) and how to practice mercy and peace (Taurus the Cow).

All of these qualities together compose the True Hunter and the True Warrior, but the Taurus qualities are most exalted because without them the others mean little. The ideal Taurus nature, like the true Warrior, is brave and loyal, hearty and good-humored, gentle, merciful and protective. Thus another very desirable effect of the Grand Stellium could be the drawing away of some focus from the warrior caricatures endlessly created by the world's dominant fear culture, and toward the True Warrior as the growing world culture of love understands him.

In these terms, the most important point of the Grand Stellium could be that it induces people all over the planet to understand the equal and balanced power of the Bull and the Cow, the ways in which the balance has been upset in many parts of the world, and how the balance might be restored in order to realize and release fully again the Taurus energy of Love. As the Taurus nature is generous, sensuous and fun-loving, the keynote for spiritual communication and persuasion at ceremonies and gatherings during the Grand Taurus Stellium is to fuse ceremonies of meditation and beauty with the joys of celebration, as a good, inclusive meal is one of the most basic ceremonies of love.

Much else can be said about the mythic resonance of this cosmic moment and will unfold in time to come, especially as we come to understand more fully the path we have taken to get here from our point of origin.

As Aldebaran in Taurus is almost exactly 180° across the zodiac wheel from Antares, another red giant star in Scorpio, and both are about 90° from Regulus in Leo, these stars in the "fixed" signs would necessarily be navigational beacons for any starseed race coming from afar to this sector of the Milky Way galaxy. These mythic voyages of humanity are also connected with the Grand Stellium in Taurus, and the story will unfold as it is better understood.

4. COSMIC BIRTH

For those who see the Grand Stellium as the culmination and flowering of a 9-month birth cycle that began at the Grand Cross alignment of last August 11, the most important question of the time is: who or what is going to be born, for the great joy and healing of humanity and Mother Earth, in the early days of May? We shall hear many answers to this question, some of them so bizarre and inventive that this section could unfold into the comic scherzo of the whole report. Who will be born? The Antichrist is always a popular item. He and the generic white-bearded old man who doubles as God the Father (bare-headed) and Nostradamus (with a hat) on the tabloid covers share an office and printing facility behind a 24-hour store near everybody. The media of the fear culture will inevitably exploit Antichrist to the max, as in Circus Maximus, as Hollywood is preparing to release a gore-and-agony spectacular about the gladiators of ancient Rome, starring the great Russell Crowe, on or just after the time of the Grand Stellium. As always, the fear culture will try to destroy the spiritual opportunity by creating as many fearsome diversions as possible. Including predictions of Earth Changes. Is an entire grand stellium of planets in the earth sign of Taurus likely to manifest in earthquakes, and in combustions of earth and other elements such as volcanic eruptions and tidal waves? Yes, certainly, for those who hold that thoughtform. Or is it equally likely that no notable earth changes will occur, as they have also not occurred during other recent grand stellia?

Yes, certainly, for those who hold that thoughtform. As always, concentrations of human fear and intensity will attract earth changes as a lightning rod attracts the sky's electricity. Events worthy of a Tiepolo skyscape have been predicted for the months to come. One recent report says the Chandra X-ray observatory has detected a black hole in our galaxy--"and the dangerous star-eater is pulling Earth, the Sun and our entire Solar System toward it at more than one million miles per hour. At its current velocity, our planet will be swallowed by the black hole on August 11th 2000--a date that could be Doomsday for all mankind, astronomers warn." This prophecy is certainly enough to get one's attention and is doubly intriguing because 8/11/2000 will be exactly one year to the day after the first Grand Cross alignment of August, 1999.

According to another story from Earth Changes TV, "NASA has just disclosed the finding of two new comets today as part of the recent 92 comets they have discovered over the last four years since SOHO's orbit. NASA believes this latest stream of comets are the remains from a breakup of 'one single gigantic comet' that may have occurred more than 2000 years ago." This report has enormous implications, and has been linked with everything from Hopi prophecies to the return of the planet Nibiru as described by Zechariah Sitchin. There is not space here to go further into all of this--but it may make good material for a Millennium Supplement at the end of the year, assuming we are not in a black hole by that time.

Who or what is going to be born in early May? For Christians, the obvious answer is that Jesus will return to bless the good, curse the bad and initiate a new kingdom of Heaven on Earth. As beautiful and desirable as this may be for so many, it is simply not in the cards. The Piscean Age has nearly run its course, and will not be the only one of the Great Ages to play an encore for another 2,000 years. Jesus will not be coming back--and not because he doesn't exist or his original, undistorted teaching was invalid. The Christos will not be returning to "save" us because that would not serve his purpose, and would be inappropriate to our current stage of soul evolution. It would only reinforce the false perception that God is outside and above us, at a time when our spiritual growth and responsibility require that we realize the divinity within ourselves and one another.

The reality is that divinity has been within us all along, though in a latent form that can be realized through spiritual practice. The being that will be born in early May will not be a specific person, but the beginning of a new human spiritual hive mind formed by the linking of intention by growing numbers of people who have perceived that the old paradigms of duality, judgment and separation are hollow, and can now be replaced--with much less effort than we anticipated--by meditations and ceremonies of love and good will.

What will be born is the Aquarian Spiritual Paradigm, with all that it implies for the linking of humanity in sincere and joyous friendship, and an acceleration of frequency toward the divine music that has been sounding in the soul's ears for a very long time.

Ken Kalb at Lightshift 2000 perceived some 25 years ago, and pointed out to the great astrologer Dane Rudhyar, the link between the Grand Cross alignments of August 1999 and the Grand Stellium of May 2-5, 2000.

Dreams of the Great Earth Changes


Joe Mason writes:  In 1993, two individuals at the same work place told me that they had recurring dreams of dead people in coffins, including their own fathers, speaking to them. Their fathers are alive in real life. I believe the context of this is spelled out in Revelation 3:1,2, ". . . you have the name of being alive, and you are dead. Awake, and strengthen what remains and is on the point of death, . . ."

In Ezekiel 9:2, six men came from the north upper gate, with weapons for "slaughter." With them was a seventh man, clothed in linen, with a writing case at his side. The seventh man marks the foreheads of those who will not be slain. This type of symbolism goes way, way back. The original meaning was a purification process, after which one is pardoned. The Kali-Yuga is an age of "death or destruction creation," and is equated to a seed growing into a plant. The seed is destroyed in the process of the plant's growth. (See The Hyades below) (Note: The Hyades actually consist of about 200 stars)

Certain constellations of stars, such as Orion and the Pleiades. Ursa Major, the Big Dipper, symbolize something negative, like the cup going round and round in the sky, pouring out upon us on the earth. I found it significant that the above mentioned constellations all have seven major stars. The importance of Orion seems to be coming to the fore, with all of the Great Pyramid associations.

Some incredible coincidences happened about the Pleiades. It relates to a dream, and concerns the Seven Days of Creation, which are still in progress. I later read a book, called, "Beyond the Blue Horizon," which has a full chapter on myths about the Seven Sisters. (The Pleiades) A number of the myths indicate six stars, with the dimmer seventh being "lost" or missing. (in Greek, it is the "Lost Pleiad"). In a couple of the myths, the lost star was abducted to the handle of the Big Dipper. In the "Enoch" book, Dr. Hurtak says the handle of the Big dipper will be broken in the coming change.



A Native American Legend

Bear and Three Hunters
The Musquakie
(Big Dipper)

The bowl of the Dipper form a bear. The stars of the handle are hunters chasing after the bear. The tiny star Alcor is a small dog named "Hold Tight." In autumn when the Dipper is low to the horizon the blood from the arrow wounds drips on the trees and turns them red and brown.

Coyote, Wolves and Bears
Wasco
(Big Dipper)

There are five wolves that would share meat with Coyote. The wolves stared into the night sky one evening. "What are you looking at?" asked Coyote. "There are two animals up there. But we can't get to them." They said. Coyote said, "That is easy." He took his bow and shot an arrow into the sky where it stuck, and another arrow which stuck into the first. Then another and another until the chain of arrows reached the ground. They all climbed the arrows with the oldest wolf taking along his dog. When they reached the top they saw the animals were grizzly bears. All the animals sat there looking at each other. Coyote thought they looked good sitting there so he left them and removed the arrow ladder.

The three stars of the handle of the Big Dipper and the two stars of the bowl near the handle are the wolves. The two stars on the front of the bowl that point to the North Star are the bears. Alcor, the little star by the wolf in the middle of the handle is the dog.

Fisher Goes to Skyland
Anishinabe
(Big Dipper)

Fisher was a small animal but a great hunter as well. One day the cold became too much so he told his friends, Otter, Lynx and Wolverine, "We will go where the Earth is closest to Skyland. The Skyland is always warm and we will bring some of the warmth down to Earth." They traveled far up in the mountains, closer and closer to Skyland. When they were close Fisher said, "We must jump up and break through to the land above the sky."

Otter jumped, bumped his head on the sky and fell back down the mountain. Lynx jumped, bumped his head and became unconscious. Wolverine jumped, bumped his head and kept jumping over and over until the sky cracked a little, then finally it broke open. Fisher jumped through after him and found the place to be absolutely beautiful and warm. Birds flew through the crack in the sky to the world down below. The warmth began to flow to the Earth and melt the snow.

The Sky-People saw the warmth escaping and called out, "Thieves!" Wolverine ran back to the crack in the sky but Fisher was making the crack bigger. Arrows were flying through the air. Fisher was killed. The great Gitchee Manitou took pity on Fisher, healed him and placed him in the sky forever becoming the Big Dipper. Each Autumn as Fisher falls towards the the Earth, the Sky-People try to patch the crack and Winter arrives. In Spring, Fisher climbs to the sky and reopens the crack - Summer.

Canoe Race
The Chinook
(Orion)

A big canoe (Orion's belt) and a small canoe (Orion's dagger) are in a race to catch a salmon in the Big River (Milky Way). The little canoe is winning the race.

Six Wives
Western Mono
(Taurus)

The husbands (The Hyades) had six wives (The Pleiades). The Hyades threw out their wives out of the dwelling because they ate too many wild onions that gave them very bad breath. When the wives went up to the sky to live, the lonely husbands followed them but have to this day have never caught up with them.

The Lost Children
Blackfoot
(Pleiades)

There were six young brothers who lived from handouts and wore torn and tattered old clothing. These orphans were not cared for at all, except the pack of dogs that played with them all day. People were unkind to them because of their appearance and teased by other children. The boys no longer wanted to be people. They considered becoming flowers but they might get eaten. Stones? No, they could be broken. Water could be drank, trees cut. So they decided to become stars. They are always beautiful and safe from others. The boys ascended to the sky to become the Pleiades. The Sun welcomes the boys and the Moon calls them her lost children. The Sun punished the people with droughts. The people heard the dogs howling to the sky because they missed them. The rains came after the Dog Chief asked the Sun for pity because it hurt all creatures.


THE DREAM CONNECTION

In 1995, The Dream Network Journal published a series of issues called, "Dreaming Humanity's Path." The dreams clearly were indicating great changes ahead. A number of the dreams were about constellations, such as Orion and the Pleiades, and events in the sky.

In volume 14, Numbers 1 & 2 (combined), on page 50, is a dream that starts with an earthquake. Burning KKK crosses fall on people and pieces of buildings fall. Pieces of the street are thrust up. Then it is night time and everyone is looking up at the sky. They see a strange thing, like a comet, coming slowly toward them. It is glowing and pulsating. Everyone is afraid, but the dreamer is told mentally that it is extraterrestrials who are coming to help, and save them. The dreamer knows that this is a worldwide destruction going on and that nothing will ever be the same again. But he and his companions are being saved and protected.  

In volume 14, number 3, on page 19, two dreams were printed side-by-side, titled "Signs in the Sky," and "More Signs in the Sky." The two dreams were submitted independently, yet they were almost identical. One dreamer saw a giant wheel turning in the sky with constellations going round and round. It was like time was turning, yet she and her friends were in a place of no time. Not everyone could see what was happening. She knew the identity of the constellations by name, old and new, and by "connected" names. She asked her friend, "Do you see THAT?" and described a sign in the sky. It was like the stars were making connections. The second dreamer was with a friend and looked in the sky with total awe. She asked, "Do you see THAT?" and described a sign in the sky. It was like the stars were making connections. She had a special name she described it by. Watching the sky signs was awesome, vivid, colorful, mesmerizing and felt prophetic. Some people saw what she saw, and others saw nothing. The wheel turned in the sky showing all the seasons and cycles. It was like looking through time, seeing past, present and portents to come. The dreamer talked to her friend a few days later. Her friend said she also had a similar vision, involving signs in the sky.

THE SQUARING OF THE CIRCLE

 
The Circle represents Heaven (the circular horizon) and the Square represents Earth (the crossing Equator and Meridian Zero). So, the Crossed Circle symbolizes the Cosmic Hierogamy, the union of Heaven and Earth. This "squaring of the circle" is a central feature of temples everywhere. In Christian cathedrals we have the square nave at the center and the round dome or cupola above, representing Heaven.

The Squaring of the Circle

In the Far East, many pagodas and temples blend the square base (the Earth) and the round (often conical) top above (the Skies). Two other instances from the Far East are the holy mantle of the Chinese emperor and the ritual basket of the Polynesians. The royal mantle of the Chinese emperor had a squared rim, which tapered to a circle at the waist. The ritual basket of the Polynesians had, likewise, a square wooden base to which the round upper portion of wickerwork was attached.

In the Great Pyramid — indeed a temple of Osiris (his Holy Mountain) and not at all a fancy tomb of vainglorious pharaohs — the circle is squared in a most ingenious way. The height of the Great Pyramid is worth precisely the radius of a circle having a circumference equal to the perimeter of the pyramid's base.

That this symbolism is not originally Jewish, nor Egyptian but far older and far more universal, is proved by the fact that it is found just about everywhere. It is found in the Far East, in the pyramidal complexes of Angkor, Burma and Java. Borobudur, for instance, also masterfully marries the round shape of the Celestial stupa at its top with the square, stepped pyramid at the base.

This same idea of "squaring the circle" is also found in certain American pyramids, for instance, in the well-known "Whirling Mountain" sandpainted mandalas of the Navajo Indians of North America. Likewise, the pediment of Greek temples such as that of the Acropolis also had a height equivalent to the radius of a circle having a perimeter equal to the width of its base. We could quote a further dozen of instances where the "squaring of the circle" is ingeniously embodied in the geometry of the temple.

The Atlantean Symbolism Of The Egyptian Temple

The Mathematics of Squaring the Circle

The Great Pyramid is being decoded and all previous pyramidal science from the squaring of the circle to calculating distant star positions will be understood in relationship to the cosmic Pyramid of Orion, and the cradle model of our universe - the Pleiades which governs the higher timepieces, the cosmic clocks.

The mathematical harmonies coded within the Great Pyramid create an invisible time-piece of Higher Evolutionary movements as a clock placed on the face of the Great Pyramid. These mathematics tell us the angle of the slope of the outside of the Great Pyramid is 51o 51'14.3". The altitude of the Great Pyramid is to the length of one side of the base as one is to 1/2 Pi.(3.141592654) The length of the Ante-Chamber multiplied by 100 is 11.626.02 Pyramid inches. Using this figure as the diameter of a circle or the altitude of the Pyramid as the radius of a circle, the circle is equal in area to a square whose side is 10,303.30 Pyramid inches in length, thus squaring the circle.  See:  THE CODE" OF CARL MUNCK AND ANCIENT GEMATRIAN NUMBERS - Hard Evidence of a Grand Design to Creation

The squaring of the circle is one of the greatest mathematical problems known in the calculus of the ancient Egyptian priest-scientists who were concerned with the greater solar movement, for it allowed them to use the astrophysical tables given by the Higher Evolution which were placed in the Pyramid. These showed how the human race within the squaring of the circle is directly related to Kimah, the Pleiades.

The key solution is the understanding of how terrestrial and solar movement are tied together in the greater "Precession of the Equinoxes" - the 26000 year cycle which connects with Kimah, the cradle from which our embryonic cycles of time are calculated by the Higher Evolution. Thus, the precession of the equinoxes is the length of time required for our solar system to make one complete revolution around the Pleiades, our greater parent sun, which calculates to a period of 25,827.5 years.  (Other scholars state that this number is 25920)



THE SPIRAL OF CREATION

THE OMEGA-ALPHA MOMENT: Omega-Alpha, the Time Spiral Zero Point, occurs on July 26, 2000. The nature and timing of a cycle’s end can be found, in seed form, within its beginning. To understand Omega-Alpha, one must go back to the Spring Equinox in 2,141 B.C., and examine the causal dynamics operating at that point. The important alignments of the Pleiades and Orion with the Great Pyramid that occurred at that time. These initiated the dimensional shift process that would slowly unfold within the Earth and humanity over the next several millennia.

AND THE SPIRAL GOES ON ... During the 16-year period that began with the Time Shift in 1992 and extends through Omega-Alpha to July 26, 2008, higher-dimensional frequencies continue to alchemically transmute the three dimensional matrix of our worlds into a far more ethereal, light-infused, multidimensional vibratory field. By July 6, 2013, the higher frequencies will be fairly stabilized and integrated within the Earth’s energetic environment, and the Earth changes should be over. The core patterning and structures for the new species will be present; in essence, we will be like newborn babies, learning how to live within a new dimensional context.

More on this subject can be found in this interview with Bill Brown.

The Spiral of Creation was known in ancient
as shown in this Naacal rock painting. The
country of origin is known to the scholars and
ancients as Lemuria, or Mu. It covered all of
central polynesia, including Hawai'i. New
Zealand Maori refer to Lemuria as Hawai'iki
(great motherland). Ancient Hawai'ians (Mu)
called it Havai'i-ti-Havai'i, or Ta Rua O Rani.
The pit or crater of Heaven. People of the
Lemurian 'Race' include the Naacal's, Polynesian's,
Chaldean's, and others. Writings about or from
Lemuria can be found among the Naacal of India,
and the old testament which was based on the
writings of the Chaldean's.

A Crop Circle portraying the changes regarding the spiral of creation appeared in Germany in 1999. http://www.fgk.org/99/Berichte/Martinhagen-1/index_d.shtml  This crop circle was interpreted through spirit message by Michelle Lavigne-Wedel on April 12, 2000. Australian Aborigine Douk talks about the Crop Circle found near Martinhagen Germany on June 26, l999

One of the most exciting, powerful, celestial events of this millennium according to astronomy and astrology experts on the evening of May 5, 2000, It begins with no moon or planet to light the sky as the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will be hidden from our eyes behind the Sun. The next morning, May 5th, at 8:08 a.m. Universal Time, the longitudinal span of these five planets, Sun and Moon will collimate within a geocentric (Earth-centered) sector of 27 degrees of the Constellation of Taurus in our Milky Way galaxy, forming a “Grand Planetary Alignment.”

(Collimate: Word first used in 1878 - : to make (as light rays) parallel)

On this 5.5.2000 all "naked eye planets of our solar system are visible from the earth at the SAME place. At this moment you can imagine a clock´s face with seven pointers (for the seven planets) which are all together at high noon. And then the "NEW AGE" will be rung in.

Earth, Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, the "old" planets and members of the planetary family are lined up like pearls on a chain.

United States Time Charts

For North Americans, the conversion from UT to local time is as follows:

Atlantic Standard Time (AST) = UT – 4 hours
Eastern Standard Time (EST) = UT – 5 hours
Central Standard Time (CST) = UT – 6 hours
Mountain Standard Time (MST) = UT – 7 hours
Pacific Standard Time (PST) = UT – 8 hours

If daylight savings is in effect in the time zone,  
you must ADD one hour to the above standard times.”

Synchronistically, the planets on this date will also be in alignment with the great central Sun of the Pleiades cluster, plus the current eleven-year sunspot cycle will be at its peak. Many cultures, including the Mayans and Hopi, have a prophecy predicting the May 5th Grand Planetary Alignment and this time that is now being called "the birth of the New Age of Enlightenment" - The Age of Aquarius.

To Jews it signifies the celestial Menorah, and for many the re-building of a third jewish temple.....

See: http://www.greatdreams.com/menorah.htm

NOTE: As of this date, April 15, 2000, the constellation of Pisces can no longer be seen and the constellation Aquarius is now on the horizon.

One of the Spiritual Laws is The Law of Monadic Return. This law concerns the 'force of evolution' and is the sum total of three influences. The strength of vibrations from the seven stars of the Great Bear depend upon the closeness of the connection and the accuracy of the alignment between any particular Heavenly Man and His Prototype. Second is the Seven Sisters, or the Pleiades. Third is the sun Sirius. It is the appearance or the disappearance of these waves of life-force which sweeps into incarnation the divine pilgrims, and which brings about the cyclic manifestation of such great Lives as the 'Silent Watcher' and the 'Great Sacrifice.'

Within limits, man is the controller of his destiny, wielding forces and energies, manipulating lesser lives and controlling lesser centers of energy, and as time passes, his radius of control becomes even more extensive.
