The July 22nd Total Solar Eclipse and the Riddle of 2012

Yeah that "black pillar" sounds like it could be referring to the narrow shadow of the eclipse.

Another interesting thing:

"It suggests that old methods and technology is no longer working and that new systems are required to keep our society up to standards and to continue its survival." "This eclipse will affect monetary systems throughout the world. Remember during eclipse season, health matters come to the surface to be dealt with."

"The solar eclipse occupies the final degree of Cancer, a degree of fate, but also a degree of willpower, independence and egotism. This eclipse occurs conjunct the Fixed Stars, Procyon and Pollux, a Behenian Fixed Star in Canis Minor used anciently for magickal purposes!"

Sounds like the exact set of celestial circumstances that would be conducive for a psychic archetypal manifestation.

From an archetypal, comparative, panoramic, perennial perspective it makes no sense to disregard the Bible. Archetypes manifest in every mythology, every religion in different forms for different time periods and places. In order to see past the form, past the temporal inflection, to see the underlying pattern, in order to reconcile world myth and integrate pairs of opposites, in order to grok the esoteric currents, we must not turn away from any mythological system.We must look at each in light of them all.

An interesting note regarding potential earthquake/tsunami:

Could be a connection between the path of this eclipse and a recent crop circle.

From your above link: "In Hindu mythology, the two demons Rahu and Ketu are said to "swallow" the sun during eclipses, snuffing out its life-giving light and causing food to become inedible and water undrinkable."

In terms of archetypes, that would seem to roughly correspond with a Christian perspective that links this eclipse with the "anti-Christ" or "the beast". I'm interested in comparing perspectives from the Kabbalah calendar, and the Mayan calendar. Do you know if these two calendars also predict the manifestation of a negative archetypal "power" before the manifestation of the positive archetypal "power" in 2012?

Is Tezcatlipoca associated with any astrological events prior to 2012? In Mayan mythology, is Tezcatlipoca associated with ANY eclipes at all? Tezcatlipoca would be the Mayan archetypal equivalent of the "anti-Christ", as Quetzalcoatl's opposite and rival, correct?

Given the multi-layered nature of mythological symbolism, I wouldn't be surprised if the "smoking obsidian mirror" associated with Tezcatlipoca has a strong astrological aspect. 

Sorry for the long quote, but I think these are invaluable words of wisdom in these troubled-minded times...

"Both the cult of the sky gods and the cult of the earth deities require their offerings and their proper respect. Both the Goddess and the devil continue to exist even today, as secret lovers in the darkness of night, while God remains alone on his throne in heaven sexually frustrated. That is perhaps why he has been in such a bad humor. These two slandered against deities, the Goddess and the Devil, exiled from heaven and the light of consciousness, need to be called back from the outer darkness to which they have been banished by Western consciousness and the churches of the celestial gods. Let them return to our day time world and take their rightful places in the sun and within the temples of humanity.

When the Goddess and the Devil return to the sunlit world of human consciousness and are again acknowledged with the proper cults and offerings, they will cease to be demons and the embodiments of evil, the role to which patriarchal religion an d imperial monotheism now allots them. Only then can the burdensome schism within humankind's psyche be healed., the split between spirit and nature. For both spirit and nature, masculinity and femininity, are part of human nature and they are complementary. The presence of both is necessary in order to realize our full potential. The one-sided exaltation of the spirit and the denial of the flesh is ultimately self-defeating because we are denying something that is part of our own being-- the external material world is not some alien planet and the physical body is not some prison of the spirit. Both the world and the body are manifestations of an inner principle that transcends the dichotomy of spirit and nature. The external is a manifestation of the internal. Monotheistic religions assert that evil and materiality will be overcome by a radical alienation-- there will be a cataclysmic end of the world, a resurrection, and a final judgment. For those judged worthy, they will thereafter abide in a purely sexless spiritual existence, in a new world of light without shadows, without evil, without matter, and without the feminine. But this scenario is not possible because both light and shadow are created by the Nature of Mind. The light and the shadow require each other; otherwise there would be only stasis, an endless boredom and ennui for all eternity. In Buddhist terms, both Samsara, the world, and Nirvana, the celestial paradise, are ultimately of the same origin-- they both proceed out of the Nature of Mind. Not even the gods know this, for it is the Great Secret of Secrets.

(...)the serpent is the archaic symbol of change and transformation and rebirth. It is the serpent who taught the Mysteries to the first woman in paradise at the beginning of the world. The serpent is the companion of the Earth Goddess, the Mother of all life. The serpent lives beneath the earth and in the dark waters of chaos. But it is from these same waters and the womb of the earth that all forms come forth into manifestation and enter the sunlit world of consciousness.

(...) Moreover, the serpent is the bearer of Wisdom and the Gnosis to humanity. Whereas the celestial God would have kept primitive humanity in ignorance within the gardens of paradise during the great summer time of the world before the ice ages descended, it was the serpent, called by the ancient Sumerians Enki, the lord of the earth, who gave humankind the Gnosis of self-knowledge, for only with self-knowledge could this walking hairless ape evolve into a god. And the transmission of this Gnosis was only possible because of the alliance between the serpent and the woman. It is only the Gnosis that can liberate humanity from bondage and servitude, for the slave shall neither be liberated by faith nor by obedience to the tyrant in heaven.

However, these are the images of myth and myth does not actually represent a factual chronology of events in profane history. Rather myth is a sacred history of the gods and their deeds at the very beginning of time, those creative acts which brought the world as we know it into manifestation. But at a higher level, myth tells us in narrative form something essential about the human condition. Myth is a primordial and fundamental way human beings organize their experience of the world and understand themselves. Theology and philosophy only came later; but religion and self-understanding began with vision and myth. 

Characteristically, as exemplified by the dragon combat myth, the patriarchal sky gods overthrow and suppress the older chthonic gods worshipped by the mothers. The great sea serpent Yam, otherwise known as Lohan or Leviathan in Canaanite mythology, was driven back and bound beneath the earth or else slain by the young celestial hero god Baal, in the same way as did the Babylonian Marduk with the dragon Tiamet, or as did Zeus with the dragon Typhon and Apollo did with the serpent Python, or as did Indra with the great serpent Vritra, and so on. Yet in the later Biblical religion, mighty Baal himself became demonized and retired beneath the earth to become a chthonic god of sex and death, banished from human consciousness by the triumphant desert god Yahweh. The prophets commanded that the Old Gods be expelled from the temple and their idols destroyed, being ground in to dust, so that none might even know and remember their names. Yet the Old Gods have lived in the shadows for far too long, and now the stars have turned in their courses once more, and the priests in their temples shall have nightmares of their return."

"The SACRED (whatever that means) is surely related (somehow) to the BEAUTIFUL (whatever that means)..."

The Moment by Dorothy Walters (1928 - )

"We Must Die Because We Have Known Them" (Title of a poem by Rilke, taken from the sayings of Ptah-hotep, ms. from 2,000 BCE)

And not once,

but many times over,

again and again,

how we disappeared

into that deep well

of darkness, shuddering beneath that load of silence,

clinging to our narrow ledge.

Yet the darkness, sometimes,

unfolded as light.

Our atoms dissolved in it,

each separate molecule opening

into a radiant disk of feeling.

How still we became,

witness and thing seen,

spectacle and observer,

each point admitting an untrammeled flood.

"The SACRED (whatever that means) is surely related (somehow) to the BEAUTIFUL (whatever that means)..."
Gregory Bateson

Once again, our space-travelling friends have shown a great interest in local astronomy, and made two new crop pictures to mark the July 22 solar eclipse at Martinsell and at Liddington Castle.

Their Liddington crop picture also shows a small "teardrop" emerging from our Sun, on the date of the eclipse. So far this has not happened, but it still could soon...

Their Quetzalcoatl picture of July 5 contains two different binary codes, where lines or bars equal 1, and dots equal 0. There are 25 binary numbers on the left, and an equal number on the right. Can anyone read it? Try 5 x 5 in base-32!

Those codes have been solved, and they refer supposedly to two solar events in the autumn of 2009, but details have not been reported yet, because we are trying to make sure that such messages are truthful.

". He said to me take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey."

Early in the day: heavy purging, burped, spat out phlegm, racing thoughts, et cetera, but maintained my calm through it... at some point I had wrote down that the PDT of when the eclipse was happening was 5:51:17-9:19:26... in the afternoon I was on the computer, and all of a sudden a gripped by physical sensations, had to go to the bathroom RIGHT THEN, ran to the bathroom, didn't even quite make it. From the toilet I saw the time was 5:52. Began purging heavily for the next few hours, used hand-picked wild tobacco to ease the process... listening to my inner voice/guide(s)/holy guardian angel made the whole thing pretty smooth, though it was quite physically and at times mentally & emotionally trying. At some point I rose, burned some frankinsense and watched the flame, and when that was done my head emptied, and I sank into meditation. I arose at 9:30 or so.

Later that night I felt refreshed, but also physically drained, and in talking to other people realized how much more work does need to be done... this morning I feel much of my energy has returned, and I feel revitalized, and full of love and contentment. My dreaming last night involved the Union of opposites, particularly feminine and masculine.

I've seen two UFOs in the past two days. I think maybe it was the same one each time. I was expecting a general increase in UFO sightings after the eclipse. So I've spent more time than usual watching the clouds and scanning the skies. The one I saw yesterday was small, black, and I watched it skim along a cloud for a couple of minutes. The one I saw today darted out from behind a cloud and then darted back. It was small and black-ish too.

I expect UFO sightings and paranormal phenomena in general to increase, I expect natural disasters to increase,  etc. War, disease, famine, etc.

It's gloomy but I think the wrathful aspect of the sacred feminine is here. Metaphorically speaking, the wrathful aspect of Divinity was reflected back at us by the "smoking obsidian mirror" of Tezcatlipocaon the "Anti-Quetzalcoatl" on July 22nd. 

It focused our unconscious psychic strength and is sending it back to us as Divine wrath. Psychic phenomena is more of a participatory thing than an individual thing, more an unconscious thing than a conscious thing. Our own fear and shame and nager were reflected back to us, psychically amplified.

The alignment on 2012 will do the opposite, it will focus our collective psychic strength in a more positive direction thus resulting in the noosphere. 

There seems to be a correlation between local sidereal time and psychic strength, I think the galactic alingment at 2012 will be the psychic boost for the formation of the noosphere. A global psychic event will trigger it. And since psychic ability transcends space and time, in a sence the noosphere is already here. So no matter how bad things get, humanity will survive until 2012 to psychically form the noosphere.

But it could be a damn close call. Or it could be I'm completely wrong.

Ok so I was thinking about the "whore of babylon", and I would like to speculate a bit about her, assuming that there is a Biblical significance to this eclipse which connects it to her. When transcendent Divinity manifests in immanent space/time it comes in pairs of opposites. It fragments into archetypal patterns which can manifest to the conscious mind in symbolic forms, such as gods, angels, demons, etc.

They are archetypes of the collective unconscious, and the symbolic forms they take are metaphors. Ego-alien, seemingly autonomous metaphors. But because the fundamental nature of reality is consciousness (not matter/energy), and because we are all connected by real psychic ability (psi), archetypes can blur the boundary between "inner" and "outer" experiences, thus blurring the boundary between "symbolic" and "literal". Tat Tvam Asi, Thou art That.

Future events like the formation of noosphere in 2012 would send strong ripples back in time, like a pebble in a pond. Maybe all the way back to the 'beginning'...because psi transcends time and space. Such ripples would be detected by ancient psychic mystics of all ages. Their conscious mind would perceive pieces of ripples in symbolic form, and of course such forms vary from culture to culture. A whole spectrum of archetypes manifests all the way back in time, splitting into pantheons of pairs of opposites again and again as they manifest in different symbolic forms.

If there is a strong aspect of the Divine Feminine in this eclipse, then it will come in pairs of opposites. So what is the opposite of the Whore of Babylon? To an ancient seer, perhaps the Whore would represent the negative aspect of the Sacred Feminine, and the peaceful 'Bride of Christ', Sophia, would represent the positive aspect of the Sacred Feminine. The Whore of Babylon and the negative aspect of the Sacred Masculine (antiChrist) are manifesting now, I believe. Did the fruit of their un-Holy Union pour from the cup of the Whore on July 22nd?

They will all flip to their positive aspects in 2012, I believe, thus resulting in the Sacred Marriage of Christ and his Bride.

Symbolically the fruit of that Sacred Union is the noosphere of 2012, I believe, or something like it. Our collective psychic ability will form it, I believe. Metaphorically that would make the noosphere the fruit of the Tree of Immortal Life, and it would also be the Healing Waters that flow from the Holy Grail.

The Whore of Babylon holds a golden cup, filled with OUR abominations and filthiness and pours it back at us. Sort of like how the "smoking obsidian mirror" of Tezcatlipocaon reflects our evil back at us. That cup will invert into the Holy Grail in 2012, and the wasteland will change into Heaven-on-Earth. "Literally".

All that would mean that the 'rapture' could happen any time. I think it has been going on for a long time. Here is what I think the rapture is all about. In essence, it is the future noosphere psychically reaching back in time (remember psi transcends space/time) and protecting those who will form the noosphere 2012.

I believe those people are the 'Body of Christ', I believe they are the 'Man-Child' of The Book of Revelation, they are the 'elect', the 144,000. The rapture is that they are 'caught up' and protected from the wrath to come very soon. Maybe the 'missing time' phenomena associated with 'UFOs' has something to do with it.

The psychic will of the future noosphere 2012 manifests in our space/time in pairs of opposites and spread out over time. At the more negative end of that manifestation spectrum is the scary "alien abduction" phenomenon, frequently characterized by trickster and shadow archetypes.

And at the positive end of the 'Rapture' spectrum is the "angelic" rescue of the Body of Christ, the Man-Child aka the 'Rapture'. They will emerge at the right time, at the right place, and form the noosphere. The Phoenix will thus rise from its ashes.

I expect an acceleration in "alien" abductions, and I expect the end of the 'rapture' process to coincide with an astrological event and a natural disaster.

Anyway I know my exegesis is unusual, and could be deeply flawed. :-)
