We
have experienced an increasing number of large-scale natural
disasters since 1950. This includes earthquakes, volcanoes,
hurricanes and floods. While people are waiting for an
explosive 2012 event to announce Armageddon, the signs
these are indeed the ‘End Times’ appear to have already
occurred.
According to the ancient Maya solar priests, the end of
this age – the 5th Sun – would be precipitated
by an era of increasing earthquakes. Seven of the ten
biggest tremors of last century happened after 1950. In
fact, there has been a sharp increase in the number of
large-scale earthquakes and volcanic eruptions since 1960.
The frequency in occurrence of earthquakes analysed from
data accumulated since 1900 shows there were 120 strong
(6-6.9) tremors, 18 major (7-7.9) and 1 great
quake (8-8.9) on average annually. A chart for the
number of earthquakes worldwide from the last decade is
more revealing of recent tremor activity. In 1994 there
were 161 strong, 13 major and 2 great earthquakes. The
next year there were 185 strong, 22 major and 3 great
earthquakes. In 2000 we find 153 strong, 16 major and
4 great earthquakes.
The data makes it very clear that the latter half of the
century diverged greatly from the first half in terms
of Earth changes. From 1900 to 1960 there were few major
volcanic eruptions. Over the past 43 years dormant volcanoes
around the globe have become active again. The 1990s saw
swarms of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions around the
globe. At the same time weather patterns became more erratic
and severe storms more potent.
My research into the Maya 5th Sun prediction,
over the past 3 decades, has turned up some very interesting
connections: 1) the 2012 forecast is tied to the sunspot
cycle and 2) the 2004-2012 Transit(s) of Venus.
The solar priests appear to have been aware of short and
long-term solar output cycles. I am convinced the Five
Suns or ages the Maya Long Count calendar kept track of
were linked to the 26,000-year equinoctial precession,
which is connected to the patterns of alternating ice
ages and warming interglacial periods.
The Long Count calendar, which marks the passage of a
‘Sun’ cycle, about 5,150 years, began for this age in
3013 BCE. This calendar cycle simply counts the number
of days in a ‘Solar’ age. When that number has elapsed
the age comes to an end. The previous, 4th
Sun, was said to have ended in a deluge, and this 5th
Sun is predicted to culminate in earthquakes and impacts
from cosmic objects in 2012.
Now, here is where things get very interesting and even
disturbing. When I realised the Transit of Venus occurred
in June of 2004 and then again in December of 2012 I knew
I had to go back and examine past transit cycles. Venus
Transits are much like lunar eclipses only the planet
passes between the Earth and Sun. It is a fairly rare
celestial phenomenon and they occur, in pairs separated
by 8 years, in alternating cycles every 105 and 120 years.
My first surprise came when I went back and discovered
a Venus Transit took place in 1518-1526.
It was during this transit that Cortez invaded and conquered
Mexico. The Aztec priests
predicted this period would be fraught with danger and
this is why Montezuma failed to meet the challenge the
Conquistadors posed.
During this 8-year period many paranormal events occurred
in Mexico. Strangely enough,
“shields” appeared in the skies booming out dire warnings
to the citizens of the Aztec Empire. Several temples were
set afire by curious beams of light flashing down from
the heavens. And the people also told the Spanish chronicler,
Bernardino de Sahagun, that a “Pillar of Fire” had been
seen hovering on the horizon for an entire year.
Perhaps even more chilling, a decade before these events
took place unexplained events accompanied a lunar eclipse.
Just after the lunar eclipse occurred, Mt. Popocatepetl erupted.
The volcano, which can be seen from the Valley
of Mexico, had been dormant for
many years so the eruption made the people apprehensive.
In 1991, a similar sequence of events took place. As the
residents of Mexico City lined the streets to watch a full lunar eclipse, a UFO
appeared over the city at 1 pm.
Mount Popocatepetl and nearby Mount Colima began
erupting shortly thereafter and they have remained active
ever since. UFO sightings have become common throughout
Mexico
over the past decade. In fact, so numerous that local
bishops petitioned the Vatican asking how they should
handle the increasing inquiries about UFOs from their
parishioners. The Vatican
told them to simply accept the reports at face value.
I examined the next Venus Transit, which took place in
1631-39. I found that sunspots stopped appearing for 70
years immediately following this cycle. The radical drop
in solar output caused the ‘little ice age’ from 1640
to 1710. Then I pulled up solar data and found that solar
output has been on the increase for almost 300 years.
Sunspots went from zero in the late 1600s to above 200
in 1960, which appears to have been the peak.
This is when the real meaning of the 2012 prediction dawned
on me. The ancient priests were alerting us to a change
in solar output. I then turned to the 11-year sunspot
cycle and found connections between rising solar maximums
and increasing natural disasters, wars, economic cycles
and so on. It became apparent that natural disasters and
human activity were clearly tied to the sunspot peaks
and troughs. You can look at the recent sunspot peaks
in 1990-91 and double peak in 2000-02 to see the connections
to earthquakes, volcanoes and wars.
We are in a solar minimum phase right now, which would
normally last until the end of the decade. The next solar
maximum is predicted for 2012. Now, this certainly puts
a sharp edge on the end of the 5th Sun prediction.
It would appear the ancient solar priests were aware of
this double conjunction, the sunspot peak and the second
leg of the Venus Transit both occurring in the same year.
Looking at a graph of sunspot activity over the past 300
years what jumped out was the fact 1960 was the peak.
Sunspot peaks have actually been declining in each succeeding
11-year cycle since then, from over 200 down to about
the 150 range. Oddly enough, the last two peaks have been
mirror images of each other. There was a dramatic increase
in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions from 1990-92 and
again in 2000-02. In terms of the human sphere we witnessed
attacks on the World Trade Centre and Bush I & II
go to war against Iraq.
The wild cards in this next cycle are the Transits of
Venus. We have never gone through a Venus Transit since
the advent of our ‘electromagnetic’ civilisation. The
last transit was in 1882 and Mt. Krakotoa erupted
in that year.
My theory on the transit is that it disrupts the normal
flow of energy, the solar wind and other energies the
Sun transmits to the Earth. We already know solar flare-ups
disrupt radio-telecommunications and even power transmission.
If my take on the ancient perception of Venus is correct,
we are in for some nasty surprises in the coming eight-year
cycle.
Normally, the solar minimum period from now until 2010
would be a fairly calm time with few natural disasters
and little social unrest. However, the transit may change
that scenario. We can surely count on the years from 2010-2012
being intense and chaotic. We have been very lucky so
far because none of the huge earthquakes have hit major
cities. If the 9.2 quake that hammered Alaska
last year had struck Los Angeles, the American economy would have gone
in the tank and taken the global system with it.
We forget how interconnected we are today. My own forecast
for this period includes a radical increase in paranormal
events, UFO sightings and even miracles. The world is
going to be transformed and that process is already underway.
The unity of all life in the cosmos and the fact the Universe
is teeming with intelligent beings on many worlds will
be an undeniable reality by 2012. We will know the truth
of the ancient mysteries and also experience the reality
of being spirits in a material world.
