2012 End of the 5th Sun

2012: End of the 5th Sun
by Will Hart

Certain aspects of the interlocking Maya calendar system have filtered into public consciousness in the last decade and a half. One of them is the prediction that we will come to the end of a solar-planetary cycle in 2012. But what is this cycle exactly and why is it going to end on the winter solstice of that auspicious year? Is the world going to end as some people are forecasting?

The Maya conceived of time and human history as moving in cycles, small and large. While we use a single calendar to keep track of our annual solar circuit and to mark all of the important days within a year, the Maya used a variety of calendars. The array included a 365-day solar calendar; a 260-day sacred calendar and a Long Count calendar that operated something like an odometer with a zero start date. Unlike the other calendars the Long Count clocked linear time and was programmed to stop after 5,125 years elapsed.

The Long Count was begun at the onset of this current cycle, known as the 5th Sun, in 3114 BC. It will clock the required number of years to complete a full cycle of five suns on December 21, 2012. John Major Jenkins has made the case that this date corresponds to two major alignments, (one between the winter solstice sun and the galactic equator; the other an approximate one between solstice sun and galactic core) and it also completes the Great Zodiac precession cycle of 26,000 years. I am not questioning this thesis however I do wonder if that is all there is to the end of this solar cycle- the 5th Sun?

The Maya began their Long Count on what they referred to as the ‘Birth of Venus.’ Scholars have never been able to determine what the Maya were referring to and neither have alternative researchers. Nevertheless their sacred calendar, the Tzolkin, placed the synodic cycles of Venus in a central role. The 104-year ‘Venus Round’ cycle (2 Calendar Rounds of 52 years each), was a very important ceremonial event as this was the point in time when the solar and sacred calendars realigned with the cycle of Venus.

I need to insert an important numerical progression at this point to provide a basis for the rest of the article. The number thirteen was a root number for the Maya. It is both a prime number and the eighth number in the crucial Fibonacci series that is one source of the Golden Ratio, 1.618.

If we use 13 as the root of the Mayan calendar system we find the following sequence: 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91 and 104, which are achieved by simply adding 13 to each succeeding sum. These are the key numbers in the Mayan calendrics and they have a solid scientific footing. Venus was the central component of the Mayan cosmology. It is for good reason that our nearest planetary neighbor is called earth’s sister planet. They have a phase-locked orbital cycle that is based on a 13:8 ratio. That is derived from the fact that Venus revolves around the sun 1.6 times faster than Earth so that 13 Venus revolutions is equal to 8 years.

Why is this important? By establishing Venus as the key component of the sacred calendar they automatically built the Golden Ratio (1.6) into the system since that ratio defines the differencebetween the two planets orbital cycles. By using 13 as the root number they also included the crucial multiples, or powers, of thirteen - 13,000 and 26,000 - or half as well as the full number of years in the precession. We see that the 5 Suns, each lasting 5,125 years, also add up to the Great Zodiacal Year.

We can break these numbers down in different ways and each will show that there was nothing arbitrary about the Mayan system. We somewhat arrogantly disdain other cultures for being superstitious until we come to the number 13 and our own irrationality surfaces. But let’s examine how deeply embedded this number - as well as 26, 52 and 91 - are in our own calendar. Our year is divided into four seasons that are demarcated by the equinoxes and solstices.

Each of the four seasons is 91 days or 13 weeks long, which gives us a year of 52 weeks. We see the key Maya 13-base numerical progression reflected in our own calendar. Half of a year is 26 weeks. It is beyond the scope of this article to delve into all of the intricacies of the Mayan calendrical and mathematical systems; they were extremely adept in these fields.

What I have uncovered during my decades of research into this topic are two crucial keys to understanding the system: the ‘Transit of Venus’ and solar output cycles. It just so happens that the 2012 end date corresponds to a Venus Transit cycle that occurs twice in the next 10 years in 2004 and then in 2012. As mentioned above Venus was central to the Mayan cosmology. The Long Count began on what the Maya call the “Birth of Venus” so it is perhaps not too surprising that it ends on a Transit of Venus.

My research has revealed that a Transit of Venus occurred in 1518 and 1526. This was the period when Cortez landed on the shores of the Yucatan and wound up conquering the Aztec empire. The next transit was in 1631-’39. It was followed by a complete stoppage of the sunspot cycle, which lasted for 70 years (science has no explanation for this event). The ‘little ice age’ occurred between 1645 and 1720. What do we find associated with the next transit in 1761-‘69? We discover the birth of the American Revolution.

There is no doubt that the Transit of Venus was an important divinatory alignment factored into the Maya calendar. We will not have to wait for long to test this theory and also get a glimpse of 2012 during the ‘passage’ years. But in reality as Jose Arguelles and others have pointed out the precursor years began in 1987 and the final stages of this cycle really kicked into gear in 1991-’1993. How do we know? There has been a tremendous surge in the number and magnitude of natural disasters and this was also forecast as a harbinger of the 5th Sun’s demise.


Priests of Palenque. C. 2003,

by Will Hart

13,000 years is a very important time period since we know that the last ice age ended then. This indicates that there is a periodicity to the solar output cycle. There are short and long term fluctuations in solar output and as a result great ice ages, little ice ages and warm interglacials, which we are in nearing the end of now.

The cyclical nature of the long range weather patterns are well established is are the variable nature of solar activity. We know that that is true since we have been in a ‘global warming’ period for the past 300 years. The “little ice age” started to thaw in the early 1700s when the sunspot cycle returned. The level of solar activity has been increasing steadily from that ‘zero sunspot point’ right up to our recent sunspot cycles in 1989-‘90 and the double peak in 2000- ’02.

Is it a coincidence that 2012 also coincides with the next solar sunspot maximum? The actual peak of this 300-year cycle of increasing solar output occurred in 1960 when the number of sunspots exceeded 200, the usual peak is around 100-150. Now, what is interesting is that during the first half of the 20th century the Earth’s seismic and volcanic activity were comparatively quiet.

Then after 1960 the level of seismic and volcanic activity increases steadily to the point that the 1990s can accurately be called the ‘decade of disasters’. The surge in major earthquakes and volcanic eruptions radically departed from earlier decades. According to the chief scientist for the world’s largest reinsurance company Zurich Re, “since 1960 natural disasters are a growth industry.”

I hardly need to mention “global warming” since it is constantly in the headlines. However, the truth is obvious for those that care to see it. The Earth has been warming for 13,000 years with periodic short-term cold spells. However, solar output is the forcing mechanism behind global warming and the 5th Sun is intimately tied to that phenomenon. What does the end of the 5th Sun really mean?

I take it very literally to mean that the sun’s output is going to change. We are going to enter the flip side of a new 13,000 year cycle. The earth is overheated and so is the sun, the result being planetary instability manifested in rising earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and erratic weather patterns.

These will increase further starting in 2004. The volcanic ash will create more and more cloud cover and that will begin to cool the planet down. If my theory is correct the Maya knew that the Venus Transit acted like a circuit breaker switching off the sunspot cycle and impacting the Sun-Moon-Earth-Venus system. This appears to have happened just prior to the previous two ‘little ice ages’ that were preceded by what solar physicists call the Spoorer (1400-1510) and Maunder Minimum(s) 1640-1710), periods of radically diminished solar activity.

The Venus Transit will trigger the demise of the 5th Sun and set the stage for the next cycle, the 6th Sun. That is the physical side of the Maya 5th Sun forecast. Unlike many predictions this one is built into the Maya calendar and it can be verified with some historical research. Is the world going to end in a violent crescendo of natural disasters and impacts from cosmic objects? I do not think that is likely nor is it what the Maya predicted.

However, a prolonged period of change is on the horizon that will be ushered in by the 2004 – 2012 ‘passage’. It will culminate in the galactic alignment and complete the precessional cycle at that point.

Attitudes and Responsibility of Mastery (Life Coaching)

ATTITUDES AND RESPONSABILITIES OF MASTERY

Part of the process of Spiritual Integration of our Higher Selves or Expansion of our Consciousness involves "re-programming" the way we think. Our thoughts create our reality and the life experience we have on the inside and the outside of us. The following Attitudes and Responsibilities, when embodied and "lived" will help to change our thought patterns. Thoughts that we simply take for granted because they are part of the programming we currently carry. Changing the thought patterns is actually changing the programming in the personal shields.Twelve Attitudes of Mastery Study the 12 Attitudes of Mastery, make an affirmation meditation out of them, and try to make them your way of life.

1. LOVE - Recognition of the TRUTH of the ALL-ONE-ness
2. GRACE - Allowing the ALL-ONE-ness to Be what IT IS regardless of whether it suits you. Living Perpetual Forgiveness.
3. GRATITUDE - Appreciating the ALL-ONE-ness; knowing your Alive-ness.
4. REVERENT - RESPECT - Acknowledging and giving to the ALL-ONE-ness.
5. RESPONSIBILITY - Co-Creating with, Serving and being able to Respond to the ALL-ONE-ness.
6. TRUST - Knowing the Power and Love of the ALL-ONE-ness.
7. ACCOUNTABILITY - Being in a state of TRUTH with the ALL-ONE-ness.
8. IMPECCABILITY - Upholding and Protecting the ALL-ONE-ness.
9. MINDFULNESS - Loving, Nurturing, and Being Attentive to the ALL-ONE-ness.
10. FEARLESSNESS - Recognizing the Eternal Infinite Nature and Unconditional Love of the ALL-ONE-ness.
11. ENGAGED DETACHMENT - Permitting the ALL-ONE-ness to BE without assigning Critique, Condemnation or Value Judgment; understanding the IS-ness of and Validating the ALL-ONE-ness.
12. JOY - Choosing to BE the embodied ALL-ONE-ness.


Twelve Responsibilities of Mastery

Study the 12 Responsibilities of Mastery, make an affirmation meditation out of them, and try to make them your way of life.

1. Self-Actualization: Freedom from the "Victim-Victimizer Blame-Game" and willingness to be accountable for all perceivable manifestations as direct projections of intended learning from the personal Consciousness/DNA Template.

2. Self-sovereignty: Freedom from the need for approval from, or the need to rebel against any form of "external authority" through understanding that you, as a manifestation of the God Spirit, have the ability to create personal freedom without violating the spiritual rights of others and without allowing others to violate your spiritual rights of being.

3. Self Containment: Taking personal responsibility for, and realizing that at all times you are accountable for, DIRECTING PERSONAL ENERGIES. There is no one or no thing that "upsets you" and thus justifies or validates ANY personal spiritual misuse of reaction, idea, intention or action; YOU "upset yourself" by allowing the emotional body to follow misperceptions of the mental body that tell you your power lies outside of yourself. At any moment you can CHOOSE what words, associations and ideas you will use as the filters through which you interpret an event. "UPSET", "MAD", HURT" or any other category of labeling (conscious or subconscious) are all MENTAL BODY FILTERS that direct emotional and physical body function. The self contained individual recognizes that at all times the freedom of interpretation exists, and thus a "negative" experience and its associated dis-harmonic energies of "upset" feelings can only exist as a personal interpretation of events. Accepting any less responsibility for the direction of personal energies will place you directly into the Victim-Victimizer "Blame Game", which can only take place among people who are placing their personal power and responsibility for manifestation onto externalized sources. Only you have the power to "upset yourself"; regardless of what others say or do, you are fully entitled to your own interpretation. No one and no thing has the power to upset you unless you give this power away. Self containment comes when one recognizes that the direction of personal energies--physical, emotional and mental (ideas, beliefs, labels, interpretations), conscious and subconscious, is an attainable level of personal master and exists as an implied responsibility that comes with the gift of free will choice. The more responsible you become the greater freedom and personal empowerment you will know.

4. Self Discipline: Accepting responsibility for directing personal energies toward, rather than in opposition to, the outcomes you desire to experience. The physical, mental and emotional bodies have long been directed by the subconscious forces of the hidden "shadow", creating within us urges, reactions, thoughts, impulses, perceptions and feelings that often work counter to the life creations we desire to manifest. Part of spiritual master entails teaching ourselves to be consciously diligent in observing our own minds, emotions and physical body-talk, so that we may employ conscious redirection of subconscious shadow energies that run on "auto-pilot". If we learn to "catch ourselves" when "negative" thought patterns or emotions run through us, we can use that moment of recognition to reclaim this errant energy and consciously use the power of affirmative attitude, remedial word choice and direct energy-re-direction to direct opposing energies of the self into fulfillment of desired constructive, spiritually mature creations. It takes self discipline to become the "Lion Tamer" of the often roaring subconscious mind, but we do have the intrinsic power to help our subconscious shadow to evolve through loving but firm redirection, into a "cuddly lap cat" that will gladly join us in our constructive co-creations. Self-discipline emerges when we consistently remind ourselves to employ the "Spiritually Correct" thought, action or attitude, even if we don't "feel like it" when the shadow sneaks up from "down under". The shadow parts of self surface so that we may seem, these parts of self come to the conscious mind for healing, through which the conscious mind itself learns greater attributes of mastery.

5. Self Love: It is our own responsibility to love and nurture ourselves through the limitless gift of Divine Spirit that moves through us at every moment; genuine love must come from within, and can only me though genuine spiritual connection to the eternal God-self and its inherent connection to all creation. If we seek love "on the outside" in order to fulfill a personal loneliness or lack within, we enter relationships as "energy vampires"; we are seeking a substitute for our personal God-Force connection through tapping into the God-Force embodied within other people or beings. This is not "LOVE", it is "NEED", which implies the "LACK" of something essential, which in turn implies a limited personal connection to God-Source Universal Consciousness. Such lack cannot be filled by external "love"; it can only be filled by recognizing the God within you, and thus recognizing that you are a living embodiment of absolute love. Once this is recognized you will HAVE the greatest love of all--God Love, and from this Position of Divine Power, you can go into the world seeking those too whom you can give this love, rather than seeking those from whom you can "get" love. When love is approached through Self Love, the motivation is to give joyfully, knowing that anything you might need can be made manifest through the Love of the active God Force that you carry inside yourself. Self Love is a responsibility of spiritual maturity.

6. SPIRITUAL INTEGRITY: It is our absolute responsibility to chose to act with spiritual integrity at al times; there is no excuse to knowingly violate the spiritual rights of others, regardless of how poorly they may react to you. Spiritual Integrity requires that we begin to LOOK AT what we are REALLY doing in the way we live our lives. Do our eating habits violate the plant, animal or Earth kingdoms? Do our choices of words and actions show respect for other people and other life forms? Do we "play the survival of the fittest" lack-game to give ourselves an excuse for unethical behaviors in money matters, such as showing our silent rebellion against the government by trying to "cheat" on taxes, or by "showing up" a fellow employee at work to prove you are more worthy and thus more entitled to favor? Do you "tell people what they want to hear" in order to gain their approval and support, even if it is not fully true and does not reflect your personal needs or feelings? Do you try to "get others to do your share" as far as work or responsibilities? Do you use erroneous excuses such as race, gender, creed, academic or economic status to justify disrespectful, exploitative or unkind treatment of others? Spiritual Integrity requires that we take a good hard, FREQUENT look at how we conduct our lives, face the areas of activity in which we are performing in less than spiritually congruent ways, and employ active commitment and discipline to bring these areas of our lives into Spiritual Integrity. One does not "get through the gates of Heaven" (or anywhere else desirable) through using excuse for not employing GENUINE, not feigned, Spiritual Integrity. Cultivating spiritual integrity is a major responsibility on the path of spiritual mastery, and the way the universe works, you "can't leave home without it"... meaning that there is a biological reality of spiritual integrity that manifests chemically within the DNA as a result of that state and focus of your consciousness; if you do not possess a sufficient amount [of] consciousness bearing spiritual integrity, neither will your DNA Template, and though you might be able to "pull the wool over the eyes of others", your own biology will be your task master ... for passage through stargates requires a sufficient amount of chemically encoded spiritual integrity of consciousness.

7. APPRECIATION: Our present society continually teaches us to "want more", "need more", "be more", "do more" etc.... we are constantly influenced to perceive what is lacking in order to motivate us to buy more, work more, pay more taxes and be "good little consumer sheep". Very rarely do we stop to think about all that we DO have ... beginning with the gift of Life and mental free will choice. Through this disoriented perceptual filter we can cultivate a full-blow[n] mutation of mental consciousness, in which we begin to believe that "we are entitled", that "someone OWES us" (GOD, the Universe, our parents, spouse, children, employer, government, etc....). Once we fall into the "You OWE me" mind trap, we se ourselves up for continuing self-created frustration, as we place unrealistic and untrue expectations upon life, others and ourselves, and can then get mighty angry or hurt when we find the universe doesn't conform to our imagined "pictures". No one OWES us anything .. if we feel we are "owed", then we are entertaining LACK COSCIOUSNESS.. a void within the self is being recognized. If we give to another in order to RECEIVE for ourselves (such as do banks, and often parents or "lovers"...), and the other does not "pay back" what we expected to receive, we may feel cheated, "taken advantage of", or "owed". Perhaps instead such situations emerge in our lives as lessons to teach us that giving should be done for the GIVING ALONE, and not for the expected return. If we give what we desire to give, for the joy of giving, we do not feel owed ... if we live for the joy of living, without forcing our demands or expectations upon life, we will not feel that "life has short changed us" .... It matters not what your neighbor possesses, and in comparing ourselves to each other to see how we "measure up", continually distracts us from seeing and utilizing the blessings that are our own. If we can work to cultivate the ability to APPRECIATE even the smallest of gifts, blessings and gestures, we will begin to create a life that is at least "half full, instead of half empty". In terms of universal physics, what you focus your attention upon expands, and what you resist persists, and what you do not give the energy of appreciation toward will eventually de-manifest itself right out of your experience. When you approach the world through the chosen filter of genuine GIVING, you are "being an electrical transmitter", sending energy out to the word around you. When you release electrical energy in this way, you personally become "more magnetic", as the sending out of energy creates magnetic vortices within the Diodic Grid of your Kathara anatomy. The "magnetized" Diodic points then draw in more universal energy supply, at a higher frequency and quality than the expressed energy, to re-fill the energy void created by the "giving". When you approach the word with the attitude of "getting", this natural physics process becomes inverted; the more you try to "pull" energy from the outside world, the more your energy becomes "stuck" in the Diodic Grid as miasms. The miasms progressively reduce the quantity and lower the frequency of the natural energies you can internally draw from the universal supply. Giving, even in its simplest form of giving appreciation, keeps the natural energy flow moving. so whatever you give out will return to you amplified (this works in reverse as well, however; give goodness, you get more goodness in return. Give out bad attitude, ego arrogance and "garbage", and more of this will return flow your way.) Appreciate what you have, LOVE IT, find perspectives through which the joy of it can be known, and know that in the act of genuine appreciation itself you will set loose the powers of manifesting more of what you desire and less of the illusion of lack. The "Universe Owes Me" mind trip is one of the most powerful self-sabotage games in the world ...trade it in for consistent appreciation and your world will progressively expand to hold the reality of the things you most desire. If you feel put upon by the world, and resentful for having your desires unmet, YOU OWE YOURSELF SOMETHING! ... A greater understanding of the nature of creation and better use of your personal power within the life creation game. SAY THANK YOU to the GOD FORCE more often.. to help yourself remember what things you have to appreciate, and many more of the kind will be sent along your way.

8. PATIENCE: The God Force has its own schedule! We can either acknowledge this intrinsic reality of manifestation and choose to work co-creatively with the God-spirit within, trusting that together you and the universe will create the perfect "Divine Right Timing" (and if that isn't "Right NOW", there IS a very good reason for this), or you can let the ego self try to force its will upon the intrinsic nature of time. If Time does not cooperate with your expectations, you can "let that be OK, and trust in Divine Right Timing" or you can progressively frustrate yourself with attachment to the artificial time of clocks, and choose to believe that you cannot have what you desire just because it does not appear when you demand. If we learn to relax, and realize that most things we desire we can indeed achieve in Divine Right Time and Order, we can learn to work co-creatively with the consciousness of time, and find that it will progressively better conform to our wishes when we ASK nicely, rather than DEMAND, and when we trust the universal God spirit to do its part in our co-creation. Patience is a virtue that reflects our comprehension of the nature of Universal Order.

9. Kindness: Like Respect Kindness is a birthright, but one that is quite often overlooked and misunderstood. When we approach the world through genuine kindheartedness, sending love and respect to all of creation in honor of the God Force that lives within all things, we are again, transmitting electrical energy of a higher frequency, that will follow the mechanics of universal physics to bring more of like kind back to us through universal back flow. Kindness is a gift we must first give to ourselves in order to have it to give to others. Kindness implies being contentious [concerned?] and caring toward the needs, feelings and desires of both the self and others, and to express in action, attitude and intention this concern. Give to yourself random acts of kindness, then pass along the gift to all who cross your way. Try being kind to the mean and grouch neighbor, and you may help them rediscover the ability to smile. Treat all things with kindness and you are demonstrating that you acknowledge their intrinsic value as manifestations of the God Force, and you will find quite often the God Force lovingly returns the favor.

10. Conservation: Conservation is a form of respect and appreciation for the God Force energy in all of its expression, from conserving and protecting our natural resources, to being attentive to the needs of our bodies, to using the energies of our words and actions with gentle conservation by which we freely use what is needed, but not more. The God Force continually recycles its energies for the rebirth of new expression; all is given freely, but no thing is valueless or wasted. Conservation demonstrates that we have respect and appreciation for the gift of creative energy that God has to us provided, and as we learn to use this energy, in all its forms, with respect and clear intention, we will progressively fine tune our ability to create what we desire, while assisting all other kingdoms to simultaneously do the same. There is truth in the old saying "Waste Not, Want Not" ... if everything we perceive in our hologram of life is understood to be the manifestation of personal God Force energy that it IS, we might all employ a bit more respect, appreciation and conservation toward the use and applications of the energies of the Divine.

11. Cooperation/Diplomacy: Existence is and will always be a co-creative endeavor. We must be willing to allow other beings the fulfillment of their needs and desires if we hope to have our fulfillment known. Creating "Win-Win" situations is the natural way of being; creating with the intention of GIVING genuinely. We might not always agree with the intended creations of others, and we all have a right to our points of view. Diplomacy can be a bridge between forces of opposition, through which effective actions or decisions can be reached to mutually support each perspective. We CAN learn to agree to disagree respectfully, so the Spiritual Art of Co-operative Co-creation can progressively evolve to higher levels of expression.

12. Sense: Learning to identify and appropriately apply both "Common Sense" and the "Uncommon Sense" of spiritual knowing will allow us to establish the greatest balance of energy expression within all aspects of our lives.

Entangled Minds (Life Coaching)

In the future, it [will be] deemed a great oddity that 20th-century scientists had discovered elementary physical particles but had failed even to consider the possibility of elementary psychic factors.—Kurt Gödel

A restlessness is brewing in science. Unexpected discoveries in many scientific disciplines are shaking previously held assumptions. One commonality among these discoveries is that observations once believed to be meaningless, or mere anomalies, are being reconsidered. In the process, new revelations are surfacing about the nature of reality. A few examples will serve to illustrate the rising tension:

Cosmologists have learned that we might have accidentally overlooked 96% of the universe. The missing preponderance of the universe is dubbed "dark" matter and energy, and we know next to nothing about it.

Neuroscience dogma used to assert that neurons in the brain do not regenerate, and that mental functioning inevitably deteriorates when there is a brain injury or as neurons die in the course of aging. Now, new data are revealing that brain neurons do, in fact, regenerate. The brain is much more plastic than previously imagined.
In the borderlands between physics and chemistry, researchers are re-examining claims of cold fusion after 15 years in the deep freeze. Successful replications from laboratories around the world continue to suggest that unexpected effects, possibly nuclear fusion, really do occur in supposedly impossible ways. Have the prejudices of hot fusion researchers, who have spent billions of dollars in a still-vain attempt to build controllable fusion reactors, deflected attention from this anomaly?
In physics, the idea of entanglement--the quantum theory prediction that under certain circumstances particles that appear to be isolated are actually instantaneously connected through space and time-is not only known to be demonstrably real, but is far more pervasive and robust than anyone had imagined even a few years ago. Devising new forms of entanglement has become a central focus in the accelerating race towards developing practical quantum computers.
When science begins to churn with unexpected developments and tolerance for new ideas, breakthroughs are often lurking over the horizon. The consequences of such revolutions are not fully appreciated until long after they've occurred, but one thing is certain: Just as modern science propelled the world into the nuclear, information, and genetic engineering ages, the pregnant postmodern era is likely to introduce radical changes in everything-- from our daily lives to the dynamics of global society. One topic likely to change is science and society's view of the paranormal, that uncertain realm just beyond the reach of science but perpetually alive within our experience.
One element of the paranormal--which I will refer to as entangled minds--is, I believe, on the threshold of transforming from paranormal to normal. I envision that the process may go something like this:

The growing pressure to develop workable quantum computers is rapidly expanding our ability to create ever more robust forms of entanglement in increasingly complex systems, for longer lifetimes, and at room temperature. Existing techniques like "entanglement purification" and "coherence repeaters" will be further enhanced, and our understanding of what entanglement means and how to use it will advance rapidly.

Someone will ask, "I wonder what it would feel like when my brain is entangled with the outside world? Are mind fields bioentangled with the rest of the universe?
First, pairs of photons, and then photon-atom pairs, and then atoms will be successfully entangled in the lab. And then triplets, quartets, and ensembles of atoms. And then macroscopic systems. Pairs of entangled photons will be shot through metal sheets and remain entangled after they punch through to the other side. Photons will remain entangled after being transmitted through miles of open atmosphere. New forms of entanglement and robust, long-lived quantum coherence will be discovered. And then it will be proposed, and confirmed, that certain forms of entanglement extend to virtually everything in the universe, since, as far as we know, everything emerged entangled out of a single, primordial Big Bang. This grand entanglement is nonlocal, extending throughout time and space, suggesting that, despite everyday appearances, we live in a deeply holistic reality.
Researchers will discover that under certain conditions, living cells also exhibit properties associated with quantum entanglement. Then the idea of bioentanglement will emerge, a concept that is more general than today's special cases of entanglement involving inanimate particles and photons.
After scientists become used to the remarkably coordinated dances observed among entangled biomolecules and living cells, someone will get a bright idea and ask, "I wonder what would happen if two brains were entangled? Would they show correlated behavior at a distance, just like other forms of bioentanglement? And is it possible that minds and brains are complementary, like particles and waves, and that there are interpenetrating mind fields?"
An enterprising investigator will take up the challenge and conduct an experiment to see if stimulating the brain/mind of an identical twin results in a corresponding response in the electroencephalograph (EEG) of a distant twin's brain/mind. The postulated "EEG correlation" experiment will work, and it will be widely hailed as a scientific breakthrough.
Then someone will ask, "I wonder what it would feel like when my brain is entangled with the outside world? Are mind fields bioentangled with the rest of the universe?" The answer will be yes, and at this point telepathy, clairvoyance, and the entire panoply of psi phenomena will be rediscovered for the umpteenth time. But this time, and for the first time, it will be accompanied by a widely accepted theoretical foundation.

A Fantastic Scenario

How long might we have to wait before this fanciful "bioentangled brains" experiment is conducted? The answer is no time at all. The proposed studies have been performed at least a dozen times over the past 40 years. And they work.
One of the first such experiments linking psi with entanglement was published in 1965 in Science. That study reported that the EEGs of pairs of separated identical twins (two such pairs out of 15 tested) showed striking correspondences. When one twin was instructed to close his or her eyes, causing the brain's alpha rhythms to increase, the distant twin's alpha rhythms were also found to increase.

Shifting Opinions

Are there any indications that the concept of "entangled minds" is preparing to escape the purgatory of the paranormal? Given that scientific advancements depend not only on scientists' interests, but on how sociologically acceptable a given topic is, one affirmative sign is what editors consider to be newsworthy in leading journals and newspapers. Consider this news item published on January 22, 2004, in Nature, one of the premier voices of mainstream science and an interminable critic of all things paranormal. The article was entitled, "Telepathy debate hits London: Audience charmed by the paranormal." It began,
Scientists tend to steer clear of public debates with advocates of the paranormal. And judging from the response of a London audience to a rare example of such a head-to-head conflict last week, they are wise to do so.
The debate was between Professor Lewis Wolpert, a developmental biologist at University College London, who argued against the existence of telepathy, and biologist Dr Rupert Sheldrake, well-known for his theory of morphogenetic fields (see page 27). Sheldrake argued the case for telepathy. The Nature news article reported that most of the 200-strong audience agreed that Sheldrake won the debate:

[Sheldrake] presented the results of tests of extrasensory perception, together with his own research on whether people know who is going to phone or e-mail them, on whether dogs know when their owners are coming home, and on the allegedly telepathic bond between a New York woman and her parrot. "Billions of perfectly rational people believe that they have had these experiences," he said . . .Wolpert countered that telepathy was "pathological science," based on tiny, unrepeatable effects backed up by fantastic theories and an ad hoc response to criticism. "The blunt fact is that there's no persuasive evidence for it," he said.
Wolpert then provided the rationale for why he feels justified in rejecting any positive evidence for telepathy, by stating, "An open mind is a very bad thing--everything falls out." This may be an acceptable strategy for maintaining one's religious faith, but such prejudice seems anathema to science.

The audience saw through Wolpert, accusing him of "not knowing the evidence" and being "unscientific." In essence, Wolpert was attempting to argue his case through intimidation and repetition, rather than reason. Such strong opinions are not uncommon within the scientific community, and sometimes prejudices are based upon a kernel of truth. There is little doubt that many claims of miraculous health cures, flawless psychic predictions, and extraterrestrials living among us are naïve or motivated nonsense. But this does not mean that all unexpected phenomena, especially those reported for millennia by sober, thoughtful observers, are equally false.
Many similar snippets are starting to appear in academic journals and popular magazines, suggesting that the entangled minds scenario I've proposed is already proceeding. In due time, the zeitgeist will become emboldened as theory and experiments continue to converge. Then one day a sociological phase shift will occur and past prejudices will dissolve, seemingly overnight (but only in hindsight). On that day, a new understanding of who and what we are may dawn.
Today, nearly four decades later, positive results continue to be reported, and the use of identical twins is not necessary. In 2004, a review of this class of experiments was published in Mind and Matter, a new scholarly journal devoted to interdisciplinary research on the mind-matter interaction problem. Psychophysiologist Jirí Wackermann concluded that "the present state of research [is] prosaically demure. There are undoubtedly particular indications of progress." In less restrained terms, Wackermann was saying that even with increasingly sophisticated experimental methods and designs, EEG correlations reminiscent of bioentanglement continue to be observed in laboratories around the world (including in the IONS laboratory in 2003).
I believe one element of the paranormal—which I will refer to as entangled minds—is on the threshold of transforming from paranormal to normal.
After all the excitement over bioentangled minds settles down, scientists will rediscover that those quantum neuroscience-oriented experiments were the tip of the evidential iceberg. Literally thousands of other laboratory experiments exploring various aspects of mind fields have been published for over a century; they've just been languishing in the scientific outback along with other paranormal beasts, patiently waiting for science to catch up with the phenomenology.
Much more scientific work remains, but I believe that a rational framework for psi may be taking shape. At least, the needle on our explanatory compass has stopped spinning wildly and is now pointing in a promising direction. After the initial experimental verifications of quantum nonlocality in the 1980s, there was no longer any question that the fabric of physical reality supported the time-space anomalies presented by psi. Coming to grips with the idea that we live within a profoundly holistic reality still remains a challenge given that our daily experience more often reinforces a sense of isolation than a sense of unity. But as more people are exposed to these concepts, I expect that common sense may evolve into a new, uncommon sensibility in which psi is regarded as boringly normal.

The Laws of Success (Life Coaching)

The Seven spiritual laws of Success
By
Deepak Chopra
Reviewed by Niall Nichoson


As a former Aerospace Engineer and Mathematician well versed in the small math theory of quantum physics, my interpretation of this work touches many levels, however the most impact full of all is in the macro level of the theory of the creation of the universe.

The creation of all things in an instant, or the big bang. If the universe and all that is in it can be created in an instant, and if this great cosmic event is subject to natural law, then all things in it can also be created by that same natural law, and also as instantly.

As we are all a product of this creation, then we, by extension have the ability to create our own magic in a universal constant if we understand the simple laws that govern the universe that we live in. This universe, so vast that one can barely comprehend, has a positive and a negative charge. And yet the smallest sub atomic particle also has a positive and a negative charge. Therefore, if the largest thing and the smallest thing have such a characteristic, then accordingly, all things must also live by this law.

Deepak Chopra has taken these natural laws and given them a simplicity that belies the words and the logic that is imparted through them. In that they are beautifully manifested through his voice, heard from either the print or the spoken word, but still his voice, none-the-less.

As the author states, we are truly divinity in motion, existing in a state of grace, capable of majestic things if we can reach a true harmonic resonance with the universal constant of chaos or the uncertainty of life.

And yet the life that we are granted, which eludes most of us, is just out of the grasp of our fingertips, and with a minor shift of consciousness, we are all capable of attaining the brilliance of the sublime. Like a drop of mercury on a plate, beautifully majestic in its natural state, the tranquility and perfection our dreams lie before us to be manifested in our reality.

But, only by practicing the laws of divinity in motion, or the seven spiritual laws of success, can one truly attain harmony with ones unique gifts. To actually catch the mercury as it slides off the glass.

The laws of acceptance and detachment give us the ability to appreciate the beauty of things and allow us not to hold on so tight to a reality as to strangle off the possibility of another more correct reality, or the spontaneous right act that will occur when we choose the act in conjunction with the law of karma.

These laws when practiced with the law of pure potentiality create a space where we loose touch with our ego driven inauthentic selves. By practicing non-judgment and selfless giving, we create our empowered true authentic selves whereby pure energy and potentiality can freely emerge.

The prayer, “I will judge nothing that occurs today”, seems so simple and yet is extremely hard to do. Our very nature as human beings is to judge. Yet we must realize that we are spiritual beings occasionally caught in human circumstance.

That combined with the thought that you will bear everyone that you meet during your travels a gift; tangible or silent, is so powerful and yet in itself so empowering; as to create as space whereby the pure self can manifest its destiny.

Defenselessness, when truly understood and practiced; allows the true self to remain unchanged when confronted by either criticism or accolades, as our true self knows its own worth. When opposition or challenges emerge in life, we realizes if we bend like the reed in the wind, that life and its troubles flow through us and allow us to create new opportunities and solutions to each challenge as the beauty of life enfolds.

This laws when practiced, allow our unique abilities to come together with our unique needs, completing a cycle allowing us to create wealth in our lives. But living in a state of abundance, one must realize that in order not to become stagnant, we must keep the flow energized by recycling this wealth.

Continuing the cycle of giving and receiving, maintaining a constant in the universe, a universe that is based on a cycle of creation through destruction.

And as we give back to our community we realize our lives of manifest destiny are about the journey, not the destination.

Who Moved My Cheese? (Life Coaching)

WHO MOVED MY CHEESE
BY
Dr. Spencer Johnson

Reviewed by Niall Nicholson

This book can best be described as a metaphor for life and the way that we all live it. When we are young, we all behave like the mice, Sniff and Scurry. We chase about trying to find our ‘raison d’etre’, our cheese if you will.

And like the mice we are relentless in the pursuit of our ‘cheese’. Maybe this cheese is a material possession, a job or just the love of another being, in any event we desire it immensely. So we scurry about day and night until we find this most cherished of things. Then in time, all of the trappings of society and the bullshit that we feed ourselves causes us to become hemmed in by the imaginary walls that our minds can create regarding our lives and the way that we live them.

Then something comes along to change our basic equation, maybe the job changed, we got old and couldn’t play our favorite game, or a loved one dies, our cheese gets moved or changed. This creates an incredible amount of stress in our everyday lives. Now the modern day human being will fret and complain but usually not adapt to the changing world or marketplace that confronts him. And as he whiles away the time with his head buried in the sand, like Hem, the world begins to change and pass him by.

When Haw finally overcame all of his fears and set out to find his ‘new cheese’ it was a metaphor for transformation itself. The fear of changing has Hem frozen in time, until his unfortunate demise most likely; whereas Haw is taking the courageous steps of setting out on a journey of transformation.

Through this maze of life, adrift in a sea of his own fears, Haw represents all of us as we set out on our journey of transformation. With each step gaining strength, with each step gaining will, with each step gaining the courage to go on.

And as Haw realizes every day, as he continues in his quest, that he is too late for some realizations, and has just missed others, but none-the-less is all the more determined to accomplish his task. Finding the new cheese.

And like all of us, finding a new way of being.

Ego, Friend or Foe? (Life Coaching)

When we were younger, whatever we chose to blanket outselves in, to protect ourselves from our fears. seemed to be a close companion. A best friend, that never left our side and never let us down.
When we were younger that friend might have been imaginary, or it might have seemed real, but one thing is for certain, it served us well, then.
And as we grew older, that friend slowly grew into something different as our view of the world changed and our interactions with one another took on a more serious tone.

But why do we become so serious?
Why do we leave behind the wonder and amazement that was present in us as children?

That authentic being who was joyful, courageous, risking and beautiful. That bight light that lit up every room that we entered. That emotive soul who only knew how to be its highest self.

What has us build the walls around us in defense?
Love?
No, I think not.

Most likely it is a belief that something is going to harm us that creates a need for defense. And then, when this belief is strong enough, then we create ways of being that will re-inforce the walls that we have created around us.

Now, think about it. If we build it they will come. Rememeber that line from the move, 'Field of Dreams'. That is true, but what if it was true about what we are doing in our everyday lives?

The fact that we are building walls around ourselves in defense, and then once we build the walls, we have to have the armies to defend the walls. because 'if we build it they will come!'

So why do we build the walls?

First of all, as a child, we needed a protective set of beliefs to shield us from all of the imagined fears that the world entails.
After all, between our parents teaching us their fears, society teaching us its, and the school system and our peer groups influencing us with theirs; by the time we are in grade school, we have quite a few fears.

Think about it.

So either we have to invalidate everything that we are hearing, or we have to start building walls to protect ourselves from all of these imagined fears.

And what is fear?

Fear is: False Expectations Appearing Real!

Hmm.
False Expectations Appearing Real. Where did we get all of these fears from? Were we born with them? Who made them up in the first place? Why are we putting so much energy in them?

Is this what our Ego has allowed us to believe? Or are we willingly giving our power away to it beacuse we are either too lazy or afraid to confront these fears and have something authentically different happen?!

As we get older, what do we really want out of life?

Don't we all deep down, want to experience love and happiness?
And yet these walls that we have built are preventing us from connecting with the very thing that we say we want, Love!

Now I don't know about you, but that sounds a little crazy to me.
So maybe it is time to surrender the armies of Fear, and tear down the walls the Ego has created and allow the Love that is emanating from 'All That Is' to enter into our lives.

And in that space, allow Life to occur, and allow Love to occur and allow Joy to enter our heart!
