Life Transformation Retreats/Tours

Closing Of The Cycle
The Last Days and What Is To Be Done
Jose Arguelles

“How come all I see
Is the child of God in misery?”
(Song lyric heard in a hotel restaurant in Chennai, India

Message of the Time:
Let the wall fall into the moat
The civilization is in ruin
Use no force to correct things
But persevere in silence
The evil way is on the ascent
But it has no foundation
Within yourself the signs of tomorrow are ripened

When we look at our world today in the middle of the year 2010, we see something that more and more resembles the beginning of Roland Emmerich’s 2012. Devastating earthquakes, floods, an unprecedented oil spill – the hemorrhaging of the Earth – and volcanoes. Besides the Iceland eruption, on May 29 it seems three other volcanoes went off: One in Guatemala, one in Ecuador and one in the area of the North Mariana islands. Note that the Mariana volcano – an underwater eruption – is very close to the deepest underwater trench in the world, the Mariana trench. Deep water volcano, Earth’s response to BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig that blew up just about the time the Iceland volcano first went off. Choreography courtesy the divine plan!

The human experiment – for it was never anything more than that – is now out of control. If the cycle is truly ending on 21 December 2012, and something is going to happen, then what is left to be done? No one yet has stepped forward to say, “game over!” So all that is left to be done is to change our consciousness.

As we see from the riots in Greece and Bangkok, not to mention the Israeli response to the effort to get aid to Gaza, while demonstrating the frustration of the people, as always, those who hold the power, the guns and the bombs, wield and often brutally maintain the power. Retreat to the inner realms and cultivate the highest consciousness. This is the essence of the message of the time.

This is a grand drama that is playing out now. What we are seeing is the exhaustion of materialism, what the Club of Rome defined in 1973 as the Limits of Growth. I was recently on an investigative visit to East Africa (Kenya) and South India. For a counterpoint to the misery that was everywhere evident, as I was traveling through different parts of these two countries, I took time to watch CNN, Al-Jazeera or BBC in the hotels so I could follow the oil spill and witness the European union voting a trillion dollar bail out for the Euro and some failing economies. It made me wonder: Where is the trillion dollars to give every human being on Earth a roof that doesn’t leak, an actual sanitary toilet, clean drinking water and real food on the table? No, it was quite evident that the species has failed in taking care of its own and in its capacity to save its environment. What people need to understand is that 21/12/2012 is actually humanity’s deadline, and right now it would rather send a man to Mars then deal head-on with what it has created on its home planet.

So the message of the time, it should be emphasized, is not just to change but to transform your consciousness into a supermental force. The route of material evolution is over. Now we can return to the mainstream of cosmic consciousness.
Consciousness and not life and form is the essential evolutionary principle of the cosmos. As the great Indian thinker Sri Aurobindo wrote concerning this premise:
“In this vision of things the universe will reveal itself in its unity and totality as a manifestation of a single being, nature as its power of manifestation, evolution as its process of gradual manifestation in matter.”(“Supermind in Evolution”)

The power of the mind created the machine and the artificial time that governs our lives. Returned to itself, the power of the mind can ultimately heal all things. The power of a hundred thousand minds synchronized as a single planetary consciousness focused on a single point could alter the evolution of our mind and spirit irrevocably while providing us with the knowledge, insight and telepathic skills to turn our crisis into the second creation.

Such a supermental event of consciousness by 2012 is possible. It is the solution augured by the message of the time. We would then also know, that we are not alone. Cosmic civilization throughout the universe, we will find out, had been waiting for us to come upon this solution. We will hear the cry resounding across the Earth: “Welcome Home!” And we will know: Yes, we are home. A new time and a new day will dawn.

2012 TIPPING POINT – The Prophets Conference Vancouver
23-25 July 2010

Conference Information: www.greatmystery.org/events/vancouver2012.html
In-Depth Post-Conference Workshops 26-27 JULY 2010

The purpose of this GROUNDBREAKING 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. 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. The conference brings together JOSE ARGUELLES, FLORDEMAYO, ANDREW HARVEY, BARBARA MARX HUBBARD, JOHN MAJOR JENKINS, JOHN KIMMEY, JOHN PERKINS, DANIEL PINCHBECK, LLYN ROBERTS, RICHARD TARNAS, and MIGUEL ANGEL VERGARA and in the beautiful setting of Vancouver, Canada. Following the conference will be in-depth post-conference workshops. We hope you can join us for this powerful and inspiring event.

2012 – The Threshold for A Massive Alteration
In Our Psychic and Physical Existence

The following is from the forward by Daniel Pinchbeck to
2012 Biography of a Time Traveler: The Journey of José Arguelles
By Stephanie South

I FIRST ENCOUNTERED JOSÉ ARGUELLES’ work when a friend of mine gave me The Mayan Factor as a birthday present. I read through it quickly and found it entertaining, but I couldn’t take it seriously at that point. Although I had already absorbed the psychedelic philosopher Terence McKenna’s ideas about the potential for a rapid shift into a new realization of time, space, and consciousness in 2012, the prospect of a “Galactic Mayan” civilization that space-time tripped to earth to encode a knowledge system and engineer a transformation of human consciousness seemed fantastically implausible. A few years later, I was sent a copy of Time and the Technosphere by Jose’s publisher, some months later 9/11.

Reading Time and the Technosphere, I couldn’t escape the suspicion that José was on to something—that he had found an angle of approach, melding numerical puzzles and prophetic hints, which revealed a hidden teleology, opening new avenues into the future. Studying his work was in itself psychedelic, as it challenged my most basic conception about the nature of reality. I returned to The Mayan Factor, and this time I was able to enter more deeply into his way of thought. One morning in my local café, I read his proposition that the “Galactic Maya” were returning to Earth, now, as us, as we attain their level of psychic awareness and synchronic consciousness. As I considered this idea, I had the sensation of an alien intelligence and ancient sentience awakening within me.

(After Daniel meets José in Oregon)

…At one point, José was telling me how humanity would begin to voluntarily take down the post industrial “technosphere” as we approached 2012, returning the planet to a pristine garden, preferring to live in small groups, and engaging in telepathic ceremonies. I argued that this seemed impossible—that we were headed for wars and ecocide, not a return to the garden.

“My job as a visionary is to envision the best possible outcome for humanity,” he explained. “If I don’t do it, who will?” This seemed shockingly sensible to me. Most people, most of the time, allow their conceptions of what is possible to be determined by the mass culture that surrounds them. My psychedelic experiences had revealed that our social constructs were temporary artifices, and they could be reimagined and reinvented as soon as enough of us decided to take the matter into our own hands. I realized that this could only happen if courageous individuals demanded what seemed impossible in the context of their time.

I decided that the job description of visionary suited my particular talents. I would also dedicate myself to envisioning the “best possible” outcome for humanity,” and bringing it into realization. Another thing that I learned from José was the necessity to have complete dedication to the task at hand. Many people may have a great idea or artistic vision, but, when they encounter resistance or ridicule, they will abandon their ideal in order to take a safer path. José’s life story reveals a different stance, where one learns to accept and almost enjoy the gigantic obstacles encountered along the path as a series of spiritual challenges. By dealing with these challenges, you sharpen your own faculties and increase your capacities. As Nietzsche put it, “The deed creates the doer—almost as an afterthought…”

Reality appears to be an art form, where the myth-making capacity of the human imagination is ultimately more powerful than any technology or technique. José compacted this notion into an elegant formula in which “time is art.” At the same time, each one of us appears to be both a unique expression of this galactic-scaled conceptual performance piece, and, potentially, an artist in own right, able to revise the script when we discover our inspiration.

OUR PURPOSE OF THE 2012 TIPPING POINT PROPHETS CONFERENCE VANCOUVER 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. 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. The conference brings together JOSE ARGUELLES, JOHN MAJOR JENKINS, JOHN KIMMEY, JOHN PERKINS, LLYN ROBERTS, DANIEL PINCHBECK, RICHARD TARNAS, and MIGUEL ANGEL VERGARA and in the beautiful setting of Vancouver, Canada.
