433 Eros

Many astrologers say that we are currently in the Age of Pisces, but this is about to change starting on December 21, 2012 — another curious coincidence to the end of the Long Count Calendar of the Mayans. On average, each zodiac age lasts for about 2,150 years.

The age of a specific era is based on the Zodiac sign that appears in the morning of the spring equinox. The spring equinox occurs after the Winter Solstice, which will happen on the 21st of December 2012. Pisces is said to be replaced by Aquarius.

What Will the Shift of Age Bring?

Astrologers do not necessarily believe that the world will come to an end after the Winter Solstice. However, they do believe that the shift of age will definitely bring forth a drastic change and humans will be affected. Basing on the Zodiac characteristics of Aquarius, this new age will be more about computers, modernization, revolution, humanitarianism, autonomy and democracy — things which have emerged in the last couple of years. The occurrence of such phenomena led astrologers to believe that the new age will be ruled by Aquarius, although no one can be sure until the morning after December 21, 2012.

Furthermore, it is believed that the new age will inspire a massive shift of global consciousness. People will be more aware and concerned about the whereabouts of the world. This is closely related to the Apocalypse described in the Bible which says that the end of the world will happen in a time when everyone around the world will be able to understand and “see” each other.

Many theorists believe that it is not a mere cosmic coincidence that the Age of Aquarius (the cupbearer and keeper of the waters of the Earth) is slated to start in the year of the water dragon and in the exact same day when the Mayan Calendar is also scheduled to end. They are convinced that all these things point out to one singular end: a possible Apocalypse!

Not the End, But a Beginning

However, beyond all these speculations about the end of the world, many scholars still believe that all these coincidences do not predict the coming of Doom’s Day; rather, they mark the beginning of a “New Earth”.

The end of the Mayan Calendar, for example, does not signify the end of the world – those who look at it that way might have missed the fact that the calendar is cyclic. This means that after December 21, 2012, a new cycle will then take place and life will go on as usual.

However, these scholars do not neglect the fact that a possible “change” will definitely take place at the start of this new Age. The changes inspired by the coming of the Age of Aquarius will most likely take place in the renewed planet.

In ancient astrology, the term ‘world age’ signifies the time period between two great purifications, that is, cycles of great destruction and re-creation.

According to the ancients, the perilous situation we find ourselves in today is nothing new, and it was very much predicted and expected.

Humanity was faced with the same situation about 12,000 years ago, when great floods destroyed flourishing civilisations which had become overly materialistic as they too approached the end of their age.

Through massive catastrophies, significant portions of humanity die, and we start the cycle again, all as a very natural and cyclical process of life and death.

Unlike Darwin had theorized, we evolve in these cycles of time rather than evolving along a path of linear time.

Albert Einstein, in his special theory of relativity, points out that the space-time continuum, which defines the physics of the perceivable universe, is curved.

Anything which is curved is part of a circle; it is not a plane, and nothing in our universe, including time, is linear.

This cycle of destruction and creation has happened before, and it is about to happen again.

“The critical mass of enlightenment can be defined as the smallest number of awakened human beings whose collective influence can initiate a significant shift in global consciousness. The process of creating enough enlightened ones to achieve this critical mass can be likened to the transformation of coal into diamonds. The pressure of surrounding human unconsciousness creates an urgency in the potential enlightened one to awaken from illusion. The total weight of so much unconscious ‘carbon’ exerts a tremendous pressure, through which a few coal stones reach the appropriate mass to become ‘diamonds.’ These awakened beings embody the crystal clarity of enlightened consciousness which can transform the level of consciousness of the entire planet.”

“The end of the Kali Yuga is history’s darkest moment. In her dark age, the population explosion has dumped more unconscious human burdens on the Earth than ever before. According to the Indian mystic, Osho, these darker times exert a higher pressure of unconsciousness, which could produce a greater buddhatomic detonation of joy and awareness. Osho estimates that at least 5 percent of the human seed base has the potential intelligence to germinate an awakening. Out of an expected manure pile of 5.5 to six billion people fertilizing earth during the nightmarish nineties, there are more potential buddha buds than there were people alive on the Earth at any time for most of man’s four million year history - between 275 to 300 million spiritual rebels!”

John Hogue

We have done enough stupidities. We have done enough harm to nature, to ourselves. We have been a nuisance on the Earth. Our whole history is a history of crimes - man against man, man against nature. What have we been doing here? Why should we be bothered to survive? What have you done in the thousands of years that you have been here? Can you justify that your being here on the Earth has been a creative addition to existence? Has it made it more blissful, more peaceful, more loving? Has it changed nature for something better?

What have you done in thousands of years except killing, murdering, butchering, slaughtering? - and in beautiful, good names: in the name of God, in the name of truth, in the name of religion. It seems you want to kill and destroy, and any excuse is enough.

Perhaps it is better that this world does not survive. But I am saying “perhaps” - remember that. Again perhaps.

The whole humanity perhaps may not be able to survive, but the few, a chosen few, can be saved. And that’s enough.

Osho (1984)

“What do you expect? People are machines. Machines have to be blind and unconscious; they cannot be otherwise, and all their actions have to correspond to their nature. Everything happens. No one does anything. “Progress” and “civilization” in the real meaning of these words, can appear only as a result of conscious efforts. They cannot appear as a result of unconscious mechanical actions. And what conscious effort can there be in machines? And if one machine is unconscious, then a hundred machines are unconscious, and so are a thousand machines, or a hundred thousand, or a million. And the unconscious activity of a million machines must necessarily result in destruction and extermination. It is precisely in unconscious involuntary manifestations that all evil lies. You do not yet understand and cannot imagine all the results of this evil. But the time will come when you will understand.”

G.I. Gurdjieff (1916)

“If the people would change their minds and really be spiritual, there would be no need for arms and fighting. Everything could be settled by speaking the truth. But now, people wouldn’t know the truth if you spoke it. It only upsets them. It hurts their ego. And then you are their enemy.”

Grandfather Semu Huarte (1983)

“According to the Sacred Hoop and the prophecies, it is time to share this ancient wisdom. It is time for the Great Purification. We are at a point of no return. The two-legged are about to bring destruction to life on Earth. It’s happened before and it’s about to happen again. The Sacred Hoop shows how all things go in a circle. The old becomes new, the new becomes old. Everything repeats. White people have no culture. Culture is having roots in the Earth. People without culture don’t exist very long, because Nature is God. Without a connection to Nature, the people drift, grow negative, destroy themselves. In the beginning we had one mind, and it was positive, a thing of beauty, seeing beauty everywhere.

“The Earth People (indigenous natives) never wrote anything down, had no written language. They knew that if they wrote anything down it would be disastrous. If you write something down you don’t have to remember it. And mind goes off into unconsciousness. It becomes negative, or unconscious force.”

Brave Buffalo, Brule Sioux Nation (1985)

Age of Aquarius: Age of Holy Breath

‘This age will be an age of splendour and of light, because it is the home of the Holy Breath; and the Holy Breath will testify anew for Christ, the Logos of the eternal Love. At first of every age this Logos is made manifest in flesh so man can see and know and comprehend a Love that is not narrow, circumscribed.’

Beyond 2012

The ending of the Kali yuga and the onset of the next Sat yuga will occur in a gradual, progressive manner. Thus, December 22, 2012 is unlikely to be markedly different from December 21, 2012. To our perception, it is analogous to switching on or off a ceiling fan. The fan does not reach full speed or come to a complete stop once the switch is flipped. Rather, it takes some time for the momentum of the fan to change. The transition to the Sat yuga will occur in a similar manner. True, some changes will occur suddenly and dramatically. However, the majority of the changes that are to occur will take place over several decades, with major transition points occurring again in 2018 and approximately 2030. Some people interested in 2012 concern themselves with rumors about outer changes that
will supposedly take place. Such readers focus on cataclysmic events including earthquakes, flooding, and other disasters that might or might not occur. To our perception, however, it is the inner changes that will take place within humanity that are much more important than any outer changes to the earth that could happen.

The True Golden Age

Thus, what determines the advent of the Golden age is not a particular date or time. Rather, it is a change in the consciousness of each individual. As the Devas had told us “Anything that is based on deception, lies, or deceit will simply go away.” On another occasion, we were told, “Anything that does not suit the high vibration of the new age will go away. This includes persons as well as things.” To our perception, the recipe for this high vibration (commonly referred to as ascension) is very simple and can be summarized in a few words:
-Constant unconditional love.
-Constant selfless service.
-Constant integrated awareness (the awareness that everything is One).

Year 2012 according to Sai Baba

Excerpt from a 2010 interview with Śri Sathya Sai Baba

Question: Have you heard of the year 2012 like a year where something will happen?
 

The truth is that the planet has been changing its vibratory state, and this change has intensified since the year 1989 where the magnetic poles have moved the last 20 years more than the past 2000.

Well, in one way there are several prophecies that signal this date like a term or important conclusion in the history of humanity, but the most significant is the end of the Mayan calendar, which prophecy has been interpreted in different ways. The most negative ones think that during this year the world will end, but it will not be like that, it is known that during that year a new era will start, the Age of Aquarius.

This has to do with the rotation of the whole solar system (solar cycle) that goes passing through the different eras each one of them lasts 5125 years. The era in which we now are, called the Age of Pisces, started on the year 3113 B.C. and ends on 2012. If there is a change on the earth’s magnetism, there is a change on the consciousness and also an adaptation at the physical level for this new vibration. The changes are not only on our planet, but also affect the whole universe, and today’s science can verify that.

Inform yourself about the changes on the solar storms (that are magnetic storms) and you will see that scientists are up to date with these things, or ask about the movement of the magnetic poles during the last years, and airports having to modify their instruments.

This change on the magnetism translates or it’s perceived as an increment of light, or an increase on the planet’s vibration. For you to understand it easily you must know that this vibration is affected and intensified due to the consciousness of all human beings. Each thought, each emotion, each new awakening of a human being towards the consciousness of God elevates the vibration of the planet. This might seem a paradox, due to the fact that the majority sees around themselves more hatred and misery, but this is not so.

There are many, even if I would like them to be more, that are trying to get out of darkness to grow and become a better Son of God. I have been saying this on previous messages, each one chooses where to focus the view, and those who only see the darkness are focused on the drama, the pain and the injustice. If you don’t see the spiritual advancement that humanity has made it is because you haven’t focused on it, but if you do the right work and liberate your mind of the negative you will open a space where you will be able to manifest your divine essence that will put on the focus of what is really happening with humanity and the planet. Humanity is elevating its consciousness as never before.

Question: But how!…Can’t you see the darkness?

Yes, I see it, but I don’t identify Myself with it, I’m not afraid of it…How can I fear darkness if I see such clear light?…Of course I understand those who fear, because I have also been standing where I could only see the evil.

This is why now I feel love for all of that. Darkness is not a force contrary to the light, it is absence of light. You cannot invade the light with darkness, that is not how the principle of light works. Fear, drama, injustice, hate and sadness only exist in states of darkness, because you can’t see the global context in which your life develops, and the only way to see from the light when you are there is through faith. Once you have increased your vibration and frequency (state of consciousness) you will be able to see towards darkness and understand what you have lived.

Question: But…How can You say this if there is more evil in the world everyday?

There is not more evil…there is “more light”, and that is what I’m talking about on this message. Imagine that you have a room or warehouse where for years you have been storing your things and is lit by a 40 w. bulb. Change the bulb to a 100 w. and you will see what happens. You will see the mess and the dust you didn’t think existed. The dirt will be clearer. This is what is happening, and this makes possible that a lot of people are reading this without thinking of it as foolish, like it could have been some years ago.

ou noticed that today lies and deceit come to the surface faster than before? Well, to access God’s understanding and life’s functioning is also faster than before.

This new vibration of the planet is what is making everyone nervous, depressed or sick, because to be able to receive more light and to rise to that vibrational level, people have to change physically as well as mentally, they have to change the way they think and feel, and delete or eradicate from their lives such beliefs or parameters that generally differ from reality or that take them towards the negative side of things.

You must put your warehouses in order, because each day you are receiving more light on your consciousness and even if you want to avoid it, you should start putting your hands on the project and start the cleaning or decide to live in the middle of the dirt.

This change creates physical discomforts, pains on the body, on the skeleton system and most of the time; the medical tests can’t find the reason or illness that provokes it. Generally they relate it with stress or nervous states; nothing farther from the truth, because these discomforts are provoked due to negative emotions accumulated during our lives, fears and anxieties that you have carried with you always and that now have the opportunity to transcend and transmute. It’s about that dust accumulated for years that you are now seeing, for it to be cleaned. 

There will be nights when you will wake up and stay up for a few hours…don’t alter yourself, read a book, watch TV, meditate, don’t fight thinking there is something wrong with you, it’s the new vibration of the planet that you’re assimilating, you will go back to sleep and the next day you will not feel a need to sleep more. If you don’t flow with this process properly, the pains will be more intense and you will be diagnosed fibromyalgia, which is a name that medicine has given to these pains that have no visible cause and or which they offer no treatment with concrete results, they only give you prescription for antidepressants and this makes you escape the opportunity to change your life.

One more time you chose which reality you want to live, only this time the drama will be more intense and of course will be the love. If the Light is increased, also is the lack of need for it, this explains why there is so much irrational violence during the last years.

We are living the best time that humanity has ever lived, we will be witnesses and actors of the biggest transformation of consciousness that you have ever imagined.

Inform yourself; wake up your unrest for these subjects. Science knows that something is happening; you know that something is happening; we all know that many changes are happening in many levels. Be a conscious actor of these changes and don’t let them take you by surprise because you don’t know what is happening.

“The coming months will be prime time for you to do all you can to take full possession of everything you need to become what you want to be. “

2012 HOROSCOPE

ARIES

In North America, a farmer who grows wheat gets only five percent of the money earned by selling a loaf of bread made from his crop. When my band recorded an album for MCA, our contract called for us to receive just seven percent of the net profits. I encourage you to push for a much bigger share than that for the work you do in 2012. It will be an excellent time to raise the levels of respect you have for your own gifts, skills, and products — and to ask for that increased respect, as well.

TAURUS

For much of the 19th century, aluminum was regarded as a precious metal more valuable than gold. It was even used for the capstone of the Washington Monument, dedicated in 1884. The reason for this curiosity? Until the 1890s, it was difficult and expensive to extract aluminum from its ore. Then a new technology was developed that made the process very cheap. In 2012, Taurus, I’m predicting a metaphorically similar progression in your own life. A goodie or an asset will become more freely available to you because of your increased ability to separate it from the slag it’s mixed with.

GEMINI

The coming year will be a good time for you to consider investigating the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Devotees of this religion call themselves Pastafarians. Their main dogma is the wisdom of rejecting all dogma. Having such a light-hearted approach to spiritual matters would be quite healthy for you to experiment with. For extra credit, you could draw inspiration from a church member named Niko Alm. He convinced authorities to allow him to wear a pasta strainer on his head for his driver’s license photo. Having a jaunty approach to official requirements and formal necessities will also serve you well.

CANCER

Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life is an ambitious work that deviates from formulaic approaches to film-making. Some observers hated its experimental invocation of big ideas, while others approved. New York Times critic A.O. Scott compared the movie to Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, one of America’s great works of literature. Here’s what Scott wrote: “Mr. Malick might have been well advised to leave out the dinosaurs and the trip to the afterlife and given us a delicate chronicle of a young man’s struggle with his father and himself. And perhaps Melville should have suppressed his philosophizing impulses and written a lively tale of a whaling voyage.” Using this as a template, Cancerian, I urge you to treat 2012 as a time when you will be like Melville and Malick in your chosen field. Trust your daring, expansive vision.

LEO

I love the way they celebrate the New Year in Stonehaven, Scotland. A procession of revelers swings big flaming baskets around on the ends of long chains. I recommend that you carry out a comparable ritual as you barge into 2012, Leo. Symbolically speaking, it would set the perfect tone. The coming months should be a kind of extended fire festival for you — a time when you faithfully stoke the blaze in your belly, the radiance in your eyes, and the brilliance in your heart. Are you ready to bring all the heat and light you can to the next phase of your master plan? I hope so. Burn, baby, burn.

VIRGO

Historian David McCullough wrote The Greater Journey, a book telling the stories of ambitious young American artists who relocated to Paris between 1830 and 1900. They had to move away because their home country had no museums or art schools at that time. You Virgos may want to consider seeking a similar enlargement of your possibilities in the coming months. As you seek out the resources that will help you follow your dreams, be prepared to look beyond what you already know and what’s immediately available.

LIBRA

Professional basketball player Ron Artest petitioned the court to let him change his name to “Metta World Peace.” “Metta” is a Buddhist term that signifies loving-kindness and benevolence. When the new moniker finally became official, Metta World Peace sealed a radical shift away from his old way of doing things, symbolized by the time he leaped into the stands in the middle of a game to punch a fan in the head. The coming months will be an excellent time for you Libras to initiate a rite of passage that will expedite an equally dramatic transformation.

SCORPIO

Many of the questions we had as children never got resolved or answered to our satisfaction. They still remain marinating in the back of our minds. Meanwhile, fresh queries keep welling up within us as the years go by. After a while, we’ve got a huge collection of enigmas, riddles, and conundrums. Some of us regard this as a tangled problem that weighs us down, while others see it as a sparkly delight that keeps making life more and more interesting. Where do you stand on the issue, Scorpio? If you’re in the latter group, you will be fully open to the experiences that will be flowing your way in 2012. And that means you will be blessed with a host of sumptuous and catalytic new questions.

SAGITTARIUS

The first half of 2012 will be an excellent time to for you to exorcize any prejudices you might be harboring toward anyone who lives or thinks differently from you. You’ll be able to see your own irrational biases with exceptional clarity, and are also likely to have exceptional success at scouring yourself free of them. This will give you access to new reserves of psychic energy you didn’t even realize you were shut off from. (P.S. I’m not saying you possess more intolerance or narrow-mindedness than any of the rest of us. It’s just that this is your time to deal brilliantly with your share of it.)

CAPRICORN

In Botticelli’s painting The Birth of Venus, the goddess of beauty and love is shown arriving on dry land for the first time after having been born in the ocean. Naked, she is trying to cover her private parts with her hand and thigh-length hair. Her attendant, a fully clothed nymph, is bringing a cloak to cover her up. Analyzing this scene, art critic Sister Wendy suggests it’s actually quite sad. It symbolizes the fact that since we humans can’t bear the confrontation with sublime beauty, we must always keep it partly hidden. Your assignment in the coming year, Capricorn, is to overcome this inhibition. I invite you to retrain yourself so that you can thrive in the presence of intense, amazing, and transformative beauty.

AQUARIUS

The coming months will be an excellent time to take an inventory of your life to determine whether there are any ways in which you act like a slave. Do you find it hard to defeat an addiction that saps your energy and weakens your ability to live the life you want? Are there institutions that you help sustain even though they cause harm to you and others? Is it hard for you to change or end your relationships with people who are no damn good for you? Are you trapped in a role or behavior that is at odds with your high ideals? Discover what these oppressors are, Aquarius — and then summon all your intelligence and willpower to escape them.

PISCES

California engineer Ron Patrick put a jet engine in his silver VW Beetle. Now he’s got a 1,450-horsepower vehicle — but it’s not legal for him to drive on public highways. In the coming year, Pisces, I suspect you’ll be tempted to try something similar: create a dynamic tool with a modest appearance or a turbo-charged source of energy in a deceptively small package. But if you do, please make sure that you can actually use it to improve your ability to get around and make your life better.

The coming 2012 year of the water Dragon is just about the corner. The Dragon symbol of the 2012 year is an intelligent and laborious worker who never puts aside work though sometimes this leads him to excesses. The water Dragon has enough courage to face challenges and easily finds weak points that stand on his way to success.

It’s a bit strange that people who are utterly convinced that something (usually bad) is going to happen in 2012 rarely discuss a major event in the sky that will happen on June 5, 2012: The Transit of Venus.

This is where Venus crosses the face of the Sun.  The danger mentioned earlier arises from looking at the Sun.  If you project the image or use proper filters, you are safe.  Transits of Venus only happen in pairs eight years apart every 121 years.  The last one was in 2004 and was visible in part of the US, but the beginning of the 2012 transit will be visible to everyone in the US who has clear weather.  During a transit, the disk of Venus is clearly visible on the face of the Sun.  No telescope or binoculars are needed to see it, just proper protection for your eyes.

For more information on this event that no one now living will see again, go here: http://www.transitofvenus.nl/details.html
