2012: TIPPING POINT
The Prophets Conference Cancun
January 22-24, 2010 Conference
January 22-28 Conference + Pilgrimage to Mayan sites

“For millennia, mankind had wandered in the darkness…but now, as had been prophesied, there was a change coming…Mankind has reached a crossroads…predicted long ago, prophesied by the ancient texts, by the primeval calendars, and even by the stars themselves. The date was specific, its arrival imminent…”  —Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol

2012 is now on everybody’s mind. The release of Roland Emmerich’s film, 2012, has popularized this date on a planetary scale. What does it mean? Where did it come from?
—Jose Arguelles

The Long Count calendar from the Central America Maya started on August 11, 3114 BC and will end on December 21, 2012 AD, How did these ancient peoples have such a sophisticated sense of time far beyond anything known today and what do their prophecies predict?

“In the final days of misfortune…the end of the world shall come…there shall be no priests, and no one who believes in his government without having doubts…Blood-vomit shall come. The [feathered Serpent god] Kukulcan shall return”.
—Chilam Balam, Mayan Jaguar Priest, prophecies about 2012

Astonishingly, not only the Maya singled out this date, now looming so close. Similar Last Days prophecies are found from the Hopi, Navajo, Cherokee, Apache, ancient Egyptians, Kabbalists, Essenes, Qero elders of Peru, Subsaharan Dogon tribe and the Australian Aborigines.

Over the last 50 years, many scientists have presented cataclysmic theories of what is to come – magnetic pole shifts, galactic core explosion and earth crust displacement, as featured in 2012. On 21.12.12, for the first time in 26,000 years, our sun and Earth align with the galactic centre, the dark rift of the Milky Way galaxy.

“The Hour Is Coming, And Now Is.”
The Bible, John 5 (3)

January 2010 sees a groundbreaking conference about 2012, featuring the world’s top speakers on the subject. This gives us an unparalled opportunity to create a feature documentary for a very attractive budget, hot on the heels of the Hollywood blockbuster. The conference takes place in Cancun in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, home of the ancient Maya. Right in the Jaguar’s mouth!

The conference will be followed by a guided spiritual pilgrimage to the breathtaking Mayan Sacred Living Temples of Chichen Itza, Coba, Ek Balam, and Muyil led by Miguel Angel Vergara, a modern Shaman in the Mayan lineage.

“The original, literal meaning of “apocalypse” (Greek) is not destruction but “lifting of the veil” or “revelation”, the disclosure of secrets hidden from the majority of humanity”
—Dr. Stan Grof

Our conference will explore a radically different, optimistic interpretation of the Mayan prophecy. Perhaps, it refers to the end of the world as we have known it, a world dominated by violence, greed, corrupt institutions and corporations, and conflict between organized religions. Instead of predicting a physical destruction of the material world, the prophecy may refer to death and rebirth and a mass inner transformation of humanity.

The entire 5,125- year cycle – merely an instant of geological time – is just phase we’re going through. This phase complete, a new evolutionary stage will begin. This is known as the noosphere, the mind of Earth. If we choose to evolve, we can now think and act as a single planetary organism and co-create our future together. A planetary consciousness will emerge, bringing not destruction, but, at long last, universal peace.

“Congratulations—you are among a select Group of souls who won the lottery to be here, on this planet, at this time! The prize not only ensures you a front row seat but also the unique opportunity to co-create the future of the human race.
This is a time to remember.”
—Dr. Christine Page

THE EXPERIMENT IN CANCUN

What Is Going To Happen December 21, 2012?

We hope to find out at the 2012 Tipping Point Conference in Cancun
through Remote Viewing
January 22-24, 2010 Conference
January 22-28, 2010 Conference + Pilgrimage to Mayan sites

And the way we plan to do this is by bringing in RUSSELL TARG, co-founder of the previously top-secret Stanford Research Institute’s investigation into psychic abilities in the 1970s and 1980s for the CIA and the military.

Conferees will participate in The Experiment in Cancun with Russell Targ to remote view December 21, 2012.

Russell Targ will discuss with us in Cancun his role as co-founder of a remote viewing/ESP research program for the CIA at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) during the Cold War.

(For a fun perspective about what went on with the CIA and US Army experiments and training with the psychic designs co-developed by Targ and his team at the then top secret SRI, go see the film “The Men who Stare at Goats”, starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, and Jeff Brides, opens Nov. 6, from the bestselling book of the same name by Jon Ronson. Film Trailer for “The Men Who Stare At Goats” — www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4nzXt4QaYk&feature=player_embedded)

The remote viewing program at SRI did yield significant intelligence, Targ noted. For instance, one remote viewer drew pictures of a Soviet weapons laboratory, and described a particle beam weapon under construction. Four years later, this information was verified by US spy satellites. We also found a crashed Soviet reconnaissance plane, and a kidnapped General, he said. Yet in 1995, after 23 years, the viable program was dismantled by Robert Gates, then head of the CIA because of religious fundamentalist pressure.

One of the secrets to successful remote viewing is being able to quiet the mind, and then draw what pops into your awareness, Targ explained. Skilled remote viewers like Ingo Swann were even able to see things off planet– he drew rings around the planet Jupiter, and Mercury’s magnetic field, before either were confirmed in 1974. Such experiences point to a field of non-local awareness that we can tap into.

Scientific and Spiritual Implications of Psychic Abilities:
Experiencing the Future (2012) with Remote Viewing
Russell Targ

What do the healer, the mystic, the psychic, and the spy all have in common? They are all in touch with their non-local mind and our community of spirit. During the 1970’s and 80’s, Stanford Research Institute (SRI) carried out investigations of our ability to experience and describe distant events blocked from ordinary perception. This intuitive capacity was named remote viewing, and the research was supported by the CIA and many other government organizations for gathering intelligence about world-wide activities during the Cold War.

Physicist Russell Targ, co-founder of this previously SECRET psychic research program, will describe the very best evidence for extrasensory perception, precognition, intuitive diagnosis and distant healing. In the Cancun workshop we will experience many of these applications, together with the spiritual implications of psychic abilities from the Hindu mystic Patanjali, and the Dzogchen dharma masters, down to the present time, as they might be applied to expanding ones timeless and nonlocal awareness. We will discuss how to recognize the actual psychic signal, and separate it from mental noise of memory, imagination, and analysis – and why should we bother with ESP? Finally, and most important, we will have lessons in remote viewing, just as they did in the successful Stanford Research Institute program, and then use these abilities to view a specific location on the Winter solstice of 2012, a location by its presence would give a message for all to understand.

2012 TIPPING POINT – The Prophets Conference Cancun

2012 AND HUMAN DESTINY: END OF THE WORLD OR CONSCIOUSNESS REVOLUTION? Stan Grof, M.D.

Since the publication of Jose Arguelles’ book The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology (Arguelles 1987) brought to the attention of lay audiences the ancient prophecy concerning the end of the Maya Long Count calendar, which started on August 11, 3114 BC, and will end on December 21, 2012 AD, this date has become the focus of many articles, books, and of a forthcoming movie entitled 2012. Similar prophecies about the end of the Great Cycle can be found in many other cultural and religious groups – the Hopi, Navajo, Cherokee, Apache, Iroquois confederacy, ancient Egyptians, the Kabbalists, Essenes, Qero elders of Peru, the Subsaharan Dogon tribe, and the Australian Aborigines.

With a few exceptions, the Mayan prophecy about the end of the cosmic cycle, the Fifth World, has been interpreted in terms of actual physical destruction of humanity and of the material world, in a way similar to the interpretation (or better misinterpretation) of the term apocalypse by Christian fundamentalists, particularly the millions of American Christians who believe that at the time of this global destruction they will experience “rapture” and be united with Jesus.

People who see it this way are not aware of the fact that the original and literal meaning of the term apocalypse (Greek) is not destruction but “lifting of the veil” or “revelation.” It referred to the disclosure of some secrets hidden from the majority of humanity to certain privileged persons. The source of the misinterpretation of this word is probably the phrase “apokálypsis eschaton” which literally means “revelation at the end of the æon, or age.”

The purpose of this conference is to explore a radically different, more optimistic interpretation of the Mayan prophecy – as referring to the end of the world as we have known it: a world dominated by unbridled violence and insatiable greed, egotistic hierarchy of values, corrupted institutions and corporations, and irreconcilable conflicts between organized religions. Instead of predicting a physical destruction of the material world, the Mayan prophecy might refer to death and rebirth and a mass inner transformation of humanity. In order to explore this idea, we have to answer two important questions, First, how could ancient Mayans two thousand years ago predict what situation humanity would be facing in the twenty-first century? And second, are there any indications that modern society, more specifically the industrial civilization, is currently on the verge of a major psychospiritual transformation? I will try to address these questions in the course of my presentation.

STANISLAV GROF, M.D., is a psychiatrist with more than fifty years experience researching the healing and transformative potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness. He is one of the founders and chief theoreticians of transpersonal psychology and founding president of the International Transpersonal Association (ITA). On October 5, 2007, he was granted the prestigious award – Vision 97 – from the Czech ex-President Václav Havel and his wife Dagmar. His groundbreaking theories influenced the integration of Western science with his brilliant mapping of the transpersonal dimension. Among his many books are Psychology of the Future, The Cosmic Game, When the Impossible Happens, and The Ultimate Journey.
