Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Here's a re-post with the link to the explanation of the Aquarian Age. --Jen Welcome to the list! The transition from the Piscean age to the Aquarian age is a concept that YB (Yogi Bhajan) touches on quite regularly in his lectures - for example, the "Sensory Human" lecture that he gave last year, which is meant to be used as a meditation (see: <kundalini yogakyt18.html> or the first issue of the Aquarian Times). This is essentially an astrological definition of the transition, and one thing you can do is use web searches to find what other people might have to say about that issue. Perhaps Gururattan can tell us more from her perspective. Something that I find particularly interesting is that the end of the transition (2012) shows up in other ways. For example, the Mayan "Long Count" calendar is the only calendar (that I know of) that has an end - all other calendars are numeric, and you can always add another number, but the Mayan calendar comes to an end in 2012. Terence McKenna, a (fascinating) philosopher of altered states of consciousness, came up with an equation that describes the amount of novelty (as defined by the mathematician Alfred Whitehead: essentially the level of new ideas) developed by cultures from a historical perspective, showing, of course, that the number of new ideas increases, but also that the rate at which they are found is accelerating. Well, the equation goes exponential (implying some incomprehensible increase in the level of new ideas - or perhaps something more profound), guess when? Yup, 2012. What does all this mean? Guess we'll find out. If you find more examples of this in your research, I'd love to hear about it!

We thought Nastradomus was on the same year but came to see we were off by a few months? Maybe years? The millennium was not last year at the turn of our century but just this past Jan. The Chinese celebrate the new year at a different time then Americans, and then there is the Jewish new year. So how do we really know what year it is? Or when?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 Dear Julie: >But the question remains.......... are we on the same year as they >are? We thought The Mayan calendar has nothing to do with Gregorian dating (the kind we use). It uses an entirely different numbering system, lasts about 5125 years (our years), and starts at a Mayan "Year 0" which appears to correspond to the year 3114 BC, and ends (the winter solstice of) 2012 AD - these dates, like the 2012 in question, were calculated by translating their calendar. In other words, it never said "2012". The archeologists did. That their "Year 0" was the year we would call 3114 BC has been validated by corresponding the occurence of known astronomical (and other) events with our dating system by what sounds to me (in my near- total ignorance of matters archeological) like legitimate scientific methods. >years? The millennium was not last year at the turn of our century >but just this past Jan. The According to some, but I (not alone) would argue that there are equally valid reasons to call 1/1/00 the beginning of this millenium. For example, as English is normally spoken, "the 20th Century" means "those dates that begin with "19", or 1900-1999. If someone says "I'm in my 30's", I take this to mean that they are between 30 and 39, not between 31 and 40. By the same token, the "2nd Millenium" means "those dates that begin with 1", as in 1000- 1999. In any case, the point here is that (at least) three completely independent systems point to a particular time as being somehow significant as a time of cultural/personal/transpersonal change. Coincidence is not something I believe in, only synchronicity... Love & blessings to all, Sadhant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
