The recently deceased philosopher, scientist (and some might say eccentric), Terrance McKenna was a complex man with a complex theory that ended in a simple statement: December 2012 will be a time we will never forget.
After intensively studying the I-Ching, the ancient Chinese oracle known as the “book of changes” (some say with the help of psychoactive plants in the Amazon), he began to see patterns. The I-Ching is made up of 64 hexagrams, which are made up of six levels, each of which alternates horizontal bars and dots. If you line them up and stack them so they fit into a perfect square, you start to see movement within the shapes.
He decided to create a linear model starting in time with the era the I-Ching was created in China and continuing to the present to see what patterns develop. When you enter this information into a computer program, it forms a graph with an ascending and descending line, like a stock market forecast. He then he noticed something amazing. The parts of the line that were higher or lower corresponded to times in history when new forms were developing.
When the line reached its peak, a new shape would activate people’s psyches. When the line fell into a crack, it aligned with a time when reality seemed to be falling apart, or there was a big event, or a group of events at once, that galvanized people. (The graph indicates when, not where or what happens.)
You can see from the chart that the important things happen at peaks and troughs, both. My personal theory is that spikes are when the lights go on and someone embodies this by creating a new form (which may not be able to assimilate and is therefore feared or shunned). The low points are when the lights go out and everyone is scrambling to find the switch because nothing is recognized. Each requires a new form to come into existence, but for a different reason.
Following the line on the graph, we see that it takes its last ascent around the time of classical Greece (around 700 BC) and then steadily dips until it simply dips down the graph to infinity, ending the modulus . And when was this event that had never occurred in the history of mankind? It was 2012. December 21, 2012 to be exact; the final moments of the Mayan Calendar, too, a calendar that had begun 5,000 years ago, ending with the same date Terrance’s module ended.
Terrance saw this time period ending with time compression, over and over again, from 1945 to 2012. What can we expect from this based on his calculations and discoveries of correlations of past event cycles?
McKenna said in an interview with the TV show Sightings that his best guess is that someone is likely to invent some kind of time travel machine, because it’s like the end of linear time. In other words, all time merges into one time. Everything connects with everything else. Past, present and future become one. In effect, we could be undergoing an infinite amount of evolution in a finite time.
Around 1968 the last peak occurred. This coincided with a very tumultuous point in our cultural history in the United States. As hippies cavorted and tried to create Nirvana on earth, the Vietnam War raged to its last deadly shots, and Martin Luther King’s message was carried amid riots and violence until his voice was silenced. We can see that this peak provided great events that touched the psyche of a group of people and still resonate today.
As we move forward in time, we experience more rapid evolutionary growth over shorter periods of time. The last one we had was between that time of 1967-68 until the 1990s, which was the Dark Ages of the past. Then it circles again from 2010 to 2012, only 64 times faster, then in 2012, 64 times faster still. In other words, we must adapt and evolve 64 times faster in each cycle. (Remember what I said earlier about 64 being the number of hexagrams in the I-Ching).
No one really knows what will happen. As different views of this time period converge, this date of 2012 is beginning to be known in the mainstream culture. Whether he takes it seriously or not, people are starting to notice. And when that happens, just like time compressed and accelerated, attention draws energy toward the date and accelerates that energy toward us, creating a fait accompli.
As we get closer and closer to 2012, I think it will be important to be able to be incredibly nimble, willingly releasing the old and adapting to every rapidly changing circumstance with lightning-fast decisions in the moment, decisions that come from the heart. . This will ensure that we are where we need to be for the best interest of our soul and that we will be there in peace.
We won’t have to look at a graph, know how fast things are speeding up, or ask someone what we should be doing. We will only know. If what Terrance McKenna says is true, this will be a day out of time while we are still on earth, and it could provide a chance for this life and all lives for every soul on earth.
