The Day Zero Festival, Chichen Itza, McClure’s Beach, and the Nowever. We polled Reality Sandwich contributors to find out where they would most like to find themselves on December 21, 2012, as the heavily-hyped 26,000-year astronomic cycle comes to a close. Check out the results. Where will you be when the Mayan calendar ends? (more)

We are in the midst of an extraordinary evolutionary mega-mutation. Humans are evolving into a new species; not just a slightly improved animal, an almost inconceivably different variety of non-carbon-based life forms. (more)

We have tried occupying Wall Street. Now let us create new streets without walls. Wall Street will fall of its own dead weight. Let us choose the unknown, not the known exhausted ways of the past; let us give Gaia a good reason to allow us to continue our project of conscious existence as beings of peace, benevolence, and loving unity.

Without a clue as to where to go or what to do with my life, I took a dart and threw it at a map. It landed on Park City, Utah. There I went, having never traveled that far west before. I checked into a hotel. That's when I experienced my first out-of-body experience. (more)

Many people still want to waste time arguing over how serious a crisis is this really, or whether any leader can be trusted to guide us through the transition, or if renunciation of egoic jouissance is a necessary part of a redemptive path, or whether grace will simply descend upon us all one day. Thankfully, there is no more time for such barren debates. (more)

Numerous indigenous "prophecies" cited in writings on 2012 are simply not true. Similarly, one finds all manner of statements allegedly supported by NASA, when in fact NASA has spent a good deal of effort refuting such things.  Equally, there is dishonesty amongst the writings that seek solely to debunk. What's missing is a balance between visionary and critical thinking. (more)

Time is the music of eternity. You can clearly hear the changing music of time...it is reaching its death-rock climax. We are closing in on the majestic moment in which God reveals what She can do, She is pulling out the stops, She's about to start jammin'! Enjoy the ride. (more)

We are on the brink of an apocalypse that some have prophesied will result in a radical shift in how we relate to time. The yogic practice of greedlessness can shift our relation to time; when we let go of the habit of accumulating money and material things, we might have a chance to drop into the present, where our true multidimensional self exists, and where our destiny will be revealed.

As we approach the end of the Mayan cycle there are dozens of ideas floating around about catastrophic or amazing things that may happen. A rather less concrete but important suggestion is that there will be a shift in human consciousness. (more)

As someone who has written extensively on indigenous prophecies relating to this time, it is hard to escape the uneasy presentiment that the massive, ceaseless, devastating cascade of more than 100,000 barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico each day – apparently still mixed with the far more toxic dispersant Corexit that British Petroleum continues to inject, despite EPA objections – is anything but the inception of a new phase in the foretold unfolding of events that may terminate most life on earth, potentially leading to the rapid extinction of the human species.  (more)

Recently, a $250 million film linked 2012 with a mass wipeout of humanity from earth crust displacement and super-volcano spew. The spectacle seemed designed to curtail any deeper thought or discussion of the subject by making it appear ridiculous. (more)

A group of Adepts, determined to stop the world's downward course into materialism, caused a spiritual influx to be thrown down into America. Great souls from Atlantis incarnated into the bodies of North American Indians. It was they who brought forward the movement of Spiritualism. (more)

To understand why we project the apocalypse onto 2012, we have to understand where we are in the evolution of human consciousness. Despite our ipods and helicopters, we are still embedded in a cosmology that not long ago thought the Earth was flat. (more)

The lost world that imagines us does not need to be created; we, who are not other than its shadow, must learn how to approach it through the prism of our fear, whose force-fields we must navigate. A hair's breadth of a difference separates discovery from destruction. (more)

Commentators on this season’s crop circles have remarked upon the appearance of the so-called “Quetzalcoatl Headdress” and other Mayan glyphs and also on the continued predominance of planetary imagery -- including pointers to July’s multiple eclipses -- among the circles. As yet, no one has drawn a relationship between the upcoming total solar eclipse on July 22nd – the longest total solar eclipse that will occur in the 21st century – and the Mayan Long Count end date of December 21, 2012.  (more)

What if the Apocalypse has already happened? How should we live in a post-Apocalyptic world, when all of the values of the previous one have been destroyed? Aleister Crowley had an answer. (more)

St. John's Book of Revelations, like the Mayan Long Count, expresses a time cycle derived from the precession of the equinoxes. If we can penetrate the mysteries of the Mayan calendar, can we not bring similar effort to the archetypal work of Christian prophecy? (more)

My relationship of eleven years abruptly ended. Then I was propelled into a six-month period of unparalleled and nearly nonstop synchronicity that continued to reverberate for another full year and upon which I'm still surfing the shockwave. (more)

For a blog in which I interpret reader-submitted dreams, I receive dreams featuring an elephant every two months on average. Elephants are notable as symbols of memory, especially collective memory, which is to say, history. (more)

A few years ago, while working with shamans in the Amazon jungle of Brazil, I channeled a prophetic voice that announced itself as Quetzalcoatl, the Mesoamerican deity. The voice insisted a great karmic reckoning was on its way. (more)
