2012: Converging science and metaphysics ..

For all who are wondering - "what's so special about 2012?"

2012 appears to be in a time in the earth's history where not only are both human and geological events are speeding up, but the rate at which they are speeding up is speeding up. It's fractal time. At the current rate, the next 10 years will bring about changes so rapidly that we will experience a GLOBAL PARADIGM SHIFT. There is a virtual mountain of evidence out there - both physical and metaphysical, some credible and some incredible, that suggests we are approaching an unprecedented breakthrough on a planetary scale. Some views are cataclysmic, others are a bit more rosy. The truth may lie somewhere in between...

First, the metaphysical evidence:

As part of his Novelty Theory, the late Terence McKenna devised a graph which attempted to quantify history by plotting 'novelty' and 'habit' against time - as far back as 7 billion years. This graph, which he referred to as "the eschaton mathematically formalized," is generally known as Time Wave Zero or Fractal Time. The graph shows history repeating itself in ever-decreasing intervals until the last several billion years are compressed into a mere fraction of a second as we fall over the lip of the event horizon. Although his criteria were rather subjective, the graph nevertheless shows an interesting correlation between sudden increases in novelty and mass extinctions. The graph has been extensively analyzed, with mixed reactions. He has his supporters and detractors, but regardless of whether the Time Wave is empirically sound or not, his Novelty Theory is both compelling and elegant. The most interesting thing about the TWZ graph, however, is that it predicts that novelty will become immeasurably great on December 21, 2012. Apparently this end-date was discovered before Terence became aware that the Mayan Long Count of 5,125 years ended on the same date - winter solstice of 2012.

The Singularity, the Quickening, the Cosmogenesis, a period of exponential change - the New Age, the New World Order, Times of High Strangeness, the Hunab Ku, Kali Yuga, I Ching, ancient prophecies and predictions - it seems that we are witnessing the culmination of a Global Paradigm Shift.
This is a time where technological and global changes are happening faster than we can track them. The convergence of science and 'metaphysics' is gathering towards some kind of critical mass. Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence are on the cutting edge of Accelerating Change.

Scott Mandelker, Ph.D.:Dr. Mandelker discusses, among other things, exponential changes taking place in our solar system culminating in a "Global Shift" on or before 2012. " The end of this century and the beginning of the next will treat mankind to: an unprecedented, rapid decay of current civilization followed by an equally stupendous rebirth, with long-term implications beyond our wildest dreams.
Ultimately, expect wondrous things for Earth and her people, but before that happens, a profound Dark Night of the Soul will shake humanity to its roots. In the language of Wall Street, I think we can look forward to some major 'corrections' on many levels: personal, collective, and metaphysical." More at (http://www.universal-vision.com)


David Wilcock: "We strive to completely redefine human scientific understanding by proposing an integrated zero-point energy or 'aether' cosmology, backed with credible experimental research evidence. In this model, anti-gravity and free energy technologies are easily explainable. Furthermore, this new cosmology can clearly and scientifically prove that a dimensional shift will occur on Earth on or before 2012. This work is not "channeled" material - it comes from years of our director David Wilcock's rigorous scientific and metaphysical research.
This multi-disciplinary information, featured in the Convergence series, is tantamount to the"Holy Grail" of New Age teachings, and is of enormous religious and scientific significance to humanity. More at (http://www.ascension2000.com)

Art Bell: The "Quickening" is more than an Earth-Sun interaction; it is occurring throughout the Solar System, as we move into a more energetic area of intergalactic space.

Raymond Kurzweil: "The Singularity Is Near... We will not experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century; rather we will witness on the order of 20,000 years of progress... Accelerating technology will lead to superhuman machine intelligence that will soon exceed human intelligence, probably by the year 2030. The results on the other side of the 'event horizon' are unpredictable."
