This is a public service announcement Greetings Fellow Imagineers, August 17 marks the 13th anniversary of the Harmonic Convergence. For those of you who are not familiar with the event a brief history follows. On August 13th of 1987 Dr. Jose Arguelles led a worldwide meditation in conscious acknowledgment of the divine intervention in the affairs of humanity as articulated by the different prophetic streams from around the world. The principal one's being the Judeo-Christian Book Of Revelations, the Kalachakra prophecies from Tibetan Buddahism, the Hopi prophecies of North America and the prophetic traditions of the Maya's and Aztec cultures of Mesoamerica. At this time, the time projections of these prophecies converged. Hence Harmonic Convergence. We are living in the times of prophecy as were predicted thousands and hundreds of years ago by these different cultures. So what is the meaning of all of this. Well according to Dr. Arguelles research we are nearing the end of a 26,000 year cycle known by various names. The end date for this cycle is Dec. 21 2012. The reason that this date is so important is because at this very specific moment all of the celestial bodies and energies of the galaxy will be arranged in such a way that a " sounding " occurs. It is a energetic motion that reverberates throughout the entire galaxy. It is imperative to the continuance of life on this planet that all of humanity is in a state of receptivity to this event. To miss it is akin to " missing the boat " in the greatest way possible. It won't come around for another 26,000 years. That a long wait folks. This is the " ascension" that many speak of. Curiously enough the late Terence Mckenna the famed ethnobotanist developed a theory known as the Time Wave. It is actually no longer just a theory but a sound and independently proven mathematical equation. Mckenna posits history as some kind of an anomaly or aberration in the evolutionary scheme of things. His theory plots a start date and an end date to what we call History. The end date that his Time Wave churns out is ...... take a guess..... Dec. 21 2012. To find out more about more about the Time Wave and other very pertinent information by Terence Mckenna Please review the following site. http://www.levity.com/eschaton/hyperborea.html We are not in Kansas anymore. Between now and Dec. 21 2012. some very interesting things must happen if we as a species are to be ready for the event known as galactic synchronization. All of this news wouldn't necessarily need be worrisome. It is all part of life in the universe. The problem according to Dr, Arguelles's research is that Humans have deviated from natural law. That natural law is known as the synchronic order or the The law of Time which is the informing principle of all bodies in space whether atomic or orgasmic. The law of time give everything it's proper sequence in space. It is what gives beauty and harmony to all things. Human civilization is anything but beautiful or harmonious. The reason being that we live according to an artificial timing frequency that is held in place by the Gregorian calendar and the mechanical clock. We are out ,of phase, out of harmony, with the bio-sphere. Hence our destruction of it. The only solution to this problem is for humanity as a whole once again regain it's harmony with the rest of the earth. This is to be accomplished by rescinding the gregorian calendar and the mechanical clock in favor of real time as measured by the waxing and waning of the moon. This implies nothing short of a revolution my friends. A peaceful revolution where beauty, art, culture and knowledge is our strategy.

They resonate at a different frequency. They are so totally different from the caterpillar cells that his immune system thinks they are enemies...and gobbles them up--Chomp! Gulp! But these new imaginal cells continue to appear. More and more of them! Pretty soon, the caterpillar's immune system cannot destroy them fast enough. More and more of the imaginal cells survive. And then an amazing thing happens! The little tiny lonely imaginal cells start to clump together, into friendly little groups. They all resonate together at the same frequency, passing information from one to another. Then, after a while, another amazing thing happens! The clumps of imaginal cells start to cluster together!....A long string of clumping and clustering imaginal cell, all resonating at the same frequency, all passing information from one to another there inside the chrysalis. A wave of Good News travels throughout the system-- Lurches and heaves...but not yet a butterfly. Then at some point, the entire long string of imaginal cells suddenly realizes all together that it is Something Different from the caterpillar. Som ething New! Something Wonderfull!....and in that realization is the shout of the birth of the butterfly! Happy Birthday Butterfly!!! Since the butterfly now "knows" that it is a butterfly, the little tiny imaginal cells no longer have to do all those things individual cells must do. Now they are part of a mult-celled organism-- A FAMILY who can share the work. Each new butterfly cell can take on a different job.----There is something for everyone to do. And everyone is important. And each cell begins to do jus t that very thing it is most drawn to do. And every other cell encourages it to do just that. A great way to organize a butterfly! And a great way to organize a butterfly movement! In Barbara Marx Hubbard's book, Conscious Evolution, she states: As people started waking up, they became imaginal disks in the body of society. The environmental movement, the antiwar movement, the Apollo space program, the women's movement, the civil rights and human rights movements, new music, transcendental meditation, yoga, and mind-expanding substances all encouraged a young generation to act as instruments of social change--striving to birth the still-invisible societal butterfly. And often when new leaders did step forward, they were attacked by society's immune system fighting to maintain the old social order of the caterpillar: witness the assassinations of Ghandi, John F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. I think this is closer to the Tao than any other philosophy I know. I have been telling people from the beginning that the butterflies are Taoists, having never read the Tao de Ching. In December 1997 at the Earth Rainbow Network's first meeting, I met a gentleman and told him many of my stories, and for each one he showed me its counterpart in the Tao. He was somewhat of an expert in the Tao and that experience was my first real confirmation that my notion was right all along. You can't explain the mystery in words, you have to experience it. Now order is emerging out of chaos just as the butterfly emerges from the chrysalis. Chaordic science tells us that when the pieces of the puzzle come together there will be a new synergy greater than the sum of the parts, and a new unpredictability. It was this energy and what appeared as unpredicability that had some people concerned about me. Believe me, I had a formidable task to deal with. Fritjov Capra was amused when I told him it would be ironic if a butterfly group gets to prove the "butterfly effect", which he discusses in his book, The Web of Life. Last Friday he called, offered a grant that I could apply for through his Center for Ecoliteracy, and wants to meet over coffee the first week of March. He told me, "Your project sounds very impressive and would be a good candidate(for a grant)." There are literally butterfly people, emerged and now emerging, all over the world. They are the imaginals that Norie Huddle, Barbara Marx Hubbard, and others are talking about. All that is needed is the acknowledgement that this is all really happening. " The noble and very British organization National Geographic was qouted as saying that Beauty will save the world. "Beauty seems to be an intrinsic part of nature, and perhaps even the organizing principle of reality. Scientists, in testing their theories, invariably find that the simplest, most elegant, most beautiful equation, is the correct one. Rainbows, butterflies, and the periodic table are some examples of intrinsic beauty. The world will be saved by beauty." -National Geographic- "We may . . . come to see them as embodying all the beauty and complexity of nature itself. It is said that a butterfly can, with a flap of its wings, change the world . . . that the ripple it sends out can spawn a hurricane." -National Geographic Dec. 93- -Read about the butterfly effect in the Web of Life by Fritjov Capra- "Indeed, the ideas and the visions we now produce could be the butterflies of the ultimate decade. It is up to each of us to flap our wings and to make use of the chaos of our times to launch our bifurcating societies along the humanistic path." Ervin Laszlo on the Butterfly Effect of individual action from The Choice-Evolution or Extinction-1994 "Could we have a genetically based affinity for butterflies, which are the most salient demonstrations of metamorphosis present in the environments where humans have evolved? If genetically encoded, does the expression of this image require an environmental trigger? Could the archetype remain latent, within our subconscious mind, until some element in our immediate environment call it forth?" -Cultures of Habit by Gary Paul Nabham- "Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. . .Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now butterfly dreaming I am a man." -Chuang-tzu- I have often wondered about the when or what that causes us to recognize our true essence, our butterfly nature. Does the caterpillar look up from its munching and regard the butterfly soaring above the bush, only to forage faster and further down the leaf so as to hasten its own becoming? She makes little wing like movements with her fingers. "Very graceful, beautiful things...like so. But also change, how do you say?....transformation from ugly caterpillar to beautiful butterfly. Something that goes from crawling to flying. She opens her hands into a butterfly. I recite for her the famous lines, " Once upon a time, I Chuang-tzu, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. . .Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now butterfly dreaming I am a man. "She nods enthusiastically. "But now we come to the dream part. How would you explain that? Why the confusion between Chuang-tzu and the butterfly?" "Oh, that is easy," she declares, clapping her hands. "The man is a higher stage than the butterfly. So he wakes up as Chuang-tzu, still confused, because he has been dreaming he belonged to a lesser stage. He is waking up from the old dream." "I know where the new archetype will come from. China is the great cocoon for the birth of the new archetype. It will come out of our hearts when they break open. Then the dream will become real, and the new archetype, the butterfly will fly all over the Earth." -from A Mythic Life by Jean Houston It is only in the intentional silence of vigil and meditation, or in the quiet places of Nature, that we encounter the song of the universe. Like the wind through telegraph wires, this song echoes along the pathways of the cosmic web: it includes the celestial spinning of the planets, as well as the hum of insects and the dancing song of the grass; it includes the song of all the ancestors and spirits as well as the beating of our own hearts.- Caitlin Matthews "Rarely if ever do we get a chance to restore to nature even a tiny part of what we have taken away." -National Geographic Magazine Dec 93- "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has". -Margaret Mead / quote from origination of Earth Day in 1969- "Everyone has their own 'personal tree' to sit in. Life's circumstances sometimes seem overwhelming, but we must remember the amazing power of love. Just as the ripples in the ocean shape and form the land - from the cliffs to the tiny grains of sand - so do our actions, words, and thoughts shape and form our reality. Even more, ripples joining one another form tidal waves that change the planet. If we make sure that our every thought, word, and action are based in love then the ripples we create will bring about positive change for a positive future." Julia Butterfly "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it! Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." - Goethe - "Come to the edge," He said. They said, "We are afraid." "Come to the edge," He said. They came. He pushed them... and they flew. --Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918) French novelist, critic. "The real test of compassion is not what we say in abstract discussions but how we conduct ourselves in daily life." "In our struggle for freedom truth is the only weapon we possess." -His Holiness the Dalai Lama- "One who is willing to give one's body for the Earth,and do so with love, is the only one fit to be steward of the Earth" -Lao Tzu- This we know: All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth, Man did not weave the web of life. He is merely a strand on it. Whatever he does to the web he does to himself. -Chief Seattle- The World is full of people that have stopped listening to themselves or have listened only to neighbors to learn what they ought to do, how they ought to behave, and what the values are that they should be living for. -Joseph Campbell- "There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do." - Albert Camus If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear. People who can open to the web of life that called us into being, and who can rest in the vitality of that larger body. -Joanna Macy- Please help spread the word, attitude makes a the difference in the direction things take.
