2. "The Psychopomp & the Trickster: Archetypes as Functions of DNA," by Sai Grafio

[Editor's Note: For more data on Kozyrev's experiments, see David Wilcock's complete paper "The Breakthroughs of Dr. N. A. Kozyrev" on his website (below). Kozyrev and the implications of his work are also mentioned in David's MP3 series "The Science of Peace."]

Dramatic scientific evidence that all physical matter is formed by an "aether" of invisible, conscious energy has existed for decades. Renowned Russian astrophysicist Dr. Nikolai A. Kozyrev (1908-83) proved beyond any doubt that such an energy source had to exist, and as a result he became one of the most controversial figures in the history of the Russian scientific community.

The awesome implications of his work, and of the work of those who followed him, were almost entirely concealed by the former Soviet Union, but with the fall of the Iron Curtain and the advent of the Internet we are finally gaining access to "Russia's best-kept secret." Two generations of remarkable research by thousands of Ph.D.-level specialists has emerged from Kozyrev's seed findings, which completely change our understanding of the universe.

An Unseen Medium of Energy

Aether's existence was widely accepted without question in scientific circles until the early 20th Century, when the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887 was co-opted to "prove" that no such hidden energy source existed. More recent breakthroughs, however, involving "dark matter," "dark energy," "virtual particles," "vacuum flux" and "zeropoint energy," to name a few, have moved reluctant Western scientists to acknowledge that there must indeed be an unseen energy medium throughout the universe. As long as you use a benign term like "quantum medium" and not the forbidden word "aether," it appears, you can talk about it in the mainstream press without much fear of ridicule.

One early example of proof for the existence of aether comes from the respected physicist Dr. Hal Puthoff, who frequently mentions experiments from the early 20th Century, conducted before quantum mechanics theory even existed, designed to see if there is any energy in "empty space." In order to test this idea in the laboratory, it was necessary to create an area that was completely free of air (a vacuum) and lead-shielded from all known electromagnetic radiation fields by using what is known as a Faraday cage. This airless vacuum space was then cooled to absolute zero (-273°C), the temperature where all matter should stop vibrating and thus produce no heat.

These experiments proved that instead of an absence of energy in the vacuum, there is a tremendous amount of it, deriving from a completely non-electromagnetic source! Dr. Puthoff has often called this a "seething cauldron" of energy in very high magnitudes. Since this energy could still be found at absolute zero, this force was dubbed "zero point energy" or ZPE, whereas the Russian scientists usually call it the "physical vacuum" or PV. Established mainstream physicists Dr. John Wheeler and Dr. Richard Feynman calculated that the amount of zero-point energy in the space volume of a single light bulb is powerful enough to bring all the world's oceans to the boiling point!

Clearly, we are not dealing with some weak, unseen force, but rather, a source of almost impossibly grand power which would have more than enough strength to sustain the existence of all physical matter.

In the new view of science that is emerging from aether theory, all four of the basic force fields--gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force--are simply different forms of aether/ZPE.

Professor M. T. Daniels found that the density of gravitational energy near the surface of the Earth is equal to 5.74 x 10¹⁰ (t/m³). (Let us not forget that gravity would simply be another form of aether in this new model.) Daniels's finding means that drawing a sizeable 100 kilowatts of this "free energy" power from the gravitational field dips into an extremely tiny 0.001 percent of the natural energy being produced in that area.

Research conducted by Dr. Nikola Tesla led to his statement in 1891 that the aether "behaves as a fluid to solid bodies, and as a solid to light and heat," and that under "sufficiently high voltage and frequency" it could be accessed--which was his hint that free energy and antigravity technologies are possible. Let us pay special attention to Tesla's statement that the aether has a fluidlike effect when we are dealing with solid objects, as this ties in directly with the work of Dr. N. A. Kozyrev.

Rethinking Matter

In order to truly grasp Kozyrev's work and related findings, certain new analogies for physical matter are required. Kozyrev's work forces us to visualize all physical objects of matter in the universe as if they were sponges submerged in water. In this analogy, we should consider the sponges as having remained in water for a long enough period of time that they are completely saturated. Bearing this in mind, there are two things we can do with such sponges underwater: we can decrease the volume of water they contain or increase it by very simple mechanical procedures.

1. Decrease: If a submerged, saturated sponge is squeezed, cooled or rotated, then some of the water inside it will be released into its surroundings, decreasing its mass. Once the sponge is no longer disturbed, the pressure on the millions of tiny pores is relieved, causing it again to absorb water and expand back to its normal resting mass.

2. Increase: We can also pump more water into the sponge in its rest state, such as by heating (vibrating) it, thus causing some of the pores to expand with more water than they can comfortably hold. In this case, once we relieve the added pressure, the sponge will naturally release its excess water and shrink back down to its normal resting mass.

Though it would seem impossible to most people, Kozyrev showed that by shaking, spinning, heating, cooling, vibrating or breaking physical objects, their weight can be increased or decreased by subtle but definite amounts. And this is but one aspect of his amazing work.

Dr. Kozyrev's Background

Since the Western world is largely uneducated about Kozyrev, some biographical and research information is in order. Far from a being a "crank" or "crackpot" scientist, he was in fact considered one of the preeminent Russian thinkers of the 20th Century. Kozyrev had his first scientific paper published at the tender age of seventeen, and other scientists were amazed by the depth and clarity of his logic. His main work was in astrophysics, where he studied the atmospheres of the sun and other stars, the phenomenon of solar eclipses, and radiation equilibrium. By age twenty he had already graduated from the University of Leningrad with a degree in physics and mathematics, and by age twenty-eight he was widely known as a distinguished astronomer who had taught at several colleges.

Kozyrev's abundant life took a most unfortunate and difficult turn in 1936, when he was arrested under the repressive laws of Josef Stalin, and in 1937 he began eleven torturous years enduring all the horrors of a concentration camp. In this state, he mused deeply on the mysteries of the universe, paying attention to all the patterns that exist in life, wherein so many different organisms show signs of asymmetry and/or spiralling growth. From his illuminated observations, Kozyrev considered that all life-forms might be drawing off an unseen, spiralling source of energy, in addition to their normal properties of gaining energy through eating, drinking, breathing, and photosynthesis.

Kozyrev theorized that things such as the direction of a shell's spiralling growth and which side of the human body contains the heart are determined by the direction of this flow. Should there be an area somewhere in space-time where the energy flow spiralled in the opposite direction, then we could expect shells to grow in the opposite direction and the heart to be on the opposite side of the body. Kozyrev suggested that life couldn't form in any other way, because it is actively drawing off this spiralling energy to sustain itself and must therefore follow its proportions every step of the way.

When Kozyrev was finally released from the prison camp in 1948 and returned to his field of expertise, he made many predictions about the moon, Venus and Mars which were validated by Soviet space probes more than a decade later. This earned him the distinction of being a major pioneer in the Soviet space race. In 1958, Dr. Kozyrev again aroused worldwide controversy by proclaiming that the moon exhibits volcanic activity in the Alphonsus crater.

Nobel Prize winner Dr. Harold Urey of the United States was among the small group who believed that Dr. Kozyrev's theory of volcanic activity on the moon was correct, and he urged NASA to conduct an investigation. As a direct result, NASA launched the enormous Moon Blink project, which confirmed Kozyrev's assertions by finding significant gas emissions on the moon. Not all of Kozyrev's work, however, was quite so readily assimilated into the mainstream world of NASA.

The Science of Time

In the winter of 1951-52, Dr Kozyrev began his foray into the world of exotic physics, with the first of what became an exhaustive series of thirty-three years' worth of very intriguing and controversial experiments. To reiterate, the spiralling energy patterns in nature unveiled themselves to the initiated eyes of Dr. Kozyrev while in the concentration camp. His "direct knowledge" informed him that this spiralling energy was in fact the true nature and manifestation of "time."

Obviously, he felt that "time" as we now know it is much more than just a simple function for counting duration. Kozyrev urges us to try to think of a cause for time, something tangible and identifiable in the universe that we can associate with time. On reflection, we can see that time is ultimately nothing but pure, spiralling movement. We know that we are tracing a complex spiralling pattern through space thanks to the orbital patterns of the Earth and solar system.

Currently, "temporology," or the science of time, inspired by Kozyrev's pioneering work, is under continual active investigation by Moscow State University and the Russian Humanitarian Foundation. On their website, they state: "In our understanding, the 'nature' of time is the mechanism [that brings about] appearing changes and occurring newness in the world. To understand the 'nature' of time is to point to ... a process, a phenomenon, a 'carrier' in the material world whose properties could be identified or corresponded with those of time."

This may seem strange at first glance, since a tree falling in your yard could be seen as a result of a strong wind, not of the "flow of time." We must ask ourselves, however, what caused the wind to blow. Ultimately, the motion of the Earth on its axis is most responsible. Hence, all changes are caused by some form of movement, and without movement there can be no time.

Several of the scholars whose papers are published through the Russian Institute of Temporology agree that if Kozyrev had changed his terminologies and use of the word "time" to more common scientific terms such as "physical vacuum" or "aether," many more people would have been able to understand his work sooner.

Torsion Physics

In 1913, Dr. Eli Cartan was the first to demonstrate clearly that the "fabric" (flow) of space and time in Einstein's general theory of relativity not only "curves," but also possesses a spinning or spiralling movement within itself he dubbed "torsion."

Most people are unaware that it is now generally accepted that the space surrounding the Earth, and perhaps the entire galaxy, has "right-handed spin"--meaning that energy is influenced to spin clockwise as it travels through the physical vacuum.

According to Sciama et aI., static torsion fields are created from spinning sources that do not, by themselves, radiate energy. Once you have a spinning source that releases energy in any form, however, such as the sun or the center of the galaxy, and/or a spinning source that has more than one form of movement occurring at the same time, such as a planet rotating on its axis and simultaneously revolving around the sun, then dynamic torsion is automatically produced. This phenomenon allows torsion waves to propagate through space instead of simply staying in a single "static" spot. Thus, torsion fields, like gravity and electromagnetism, are capable of moving from one place to another in the universe.

Furthermore, Kozyrev proved decades ago that these fields travel at "superluminal" speeds, meaning that they far exceed the speed of light. If you can have an impulse that moves directly through the "fabric of space-time," travels at superluminal velocities and is separate from gravity and electromagnetism, you have a significant breakthrough in physics--one that demands that a "physical vacuum," "zero-point energy" or an "aether" must really exist.

Torsion Field Experiments

Dr. Kozyrev's experiments began in the 1950s and were conducted as of the 1970s with the ongoing assistance of Dr. V. V. Nasonov, who helped standardize the laboratory methods and statistical analysis of the results. Detectors using rotation and vibration were specially designed and made that would react in the presence of torsion fields, which Kozyrev called the "flow of time." It is important to remember that these experiments were conducted under the strictest conditions, repeated in hundreds--in many cases, thousands--of trials and written about in extensive mathematical detail. They have been rigorously peer-reviewed, and Lavrentyev and others have replicated the results independently.

Now, to return to our earlier analogy that matter behaves somewhat like a sponge in water. If we do something to disturb the structure of the sponge, such as squeeze it, spin it or vibrate it, then it will release some of its water back into its environment.

Over the years, all of the following processes were discovered to create a "time flow" of torsion waves in the laboratory, due to their disruption of matter in some form: the deforming of a physical object; the encounter of an air jet with an obstacle; the operation of an hourglass filled with sand; the absorption of light; friction; burning; the actions of an observer, such as movement of the head; the heating or cooling of an object; phase transitions in substances (frozen to liquid, liquid to vapour, etc.); dissolving and mixing substances; the fading death of plants; nonlight radiation from astronomical objects; and sudden changes in human consciousness. Other than the perplexing final item related to consciousness, we can readily see how each process is disturbing matter in some way, thus causing it to absorb or release minute amounts of its aetheric "water," which fits perfectly with our sponge analogy.

Even more importantly, the fact that strong emotional energy could also cause a measurable, at-a-distance reaction has been repeatedly documented not just by Dr. Kozyrev but by many others, and this is where our concepts of psychic phenomena and consciousness come into the picture.

Such concepts became even bigger news after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, when Dean Radin and his team at the Institute of Noetic Sciences were able to measure a tremendous change in the behaviour of computerized random-number generators surrounding the time immediately before and after the attack. The data show that, somehow, a change in the mass consciousness of humanity affected the behavior of electromagnetic energy in computer circuits around the world, especially those computers nearest to North America. This suggests that torsion waves and consciousness are essentially identical manifestations of intelligent energy.

Aiding & Shielding Torsion Effects

Returning to the more "comfortable" arena of physical matter, Kozyrev's work showed that torsion fields can be absorbed, shielded or sometimes reflected. For example, sugar can absorb, polyethylene film and aluminium can shield, and other forms of aluminium or mirrors can reflect torsion energy.

Kozyrev found that in the presence of this energy flow, objects that are rigid and inelastic show weight changes, whereas flexible, elastic objects show changes in elasticity and/or viscosity. Kozyrev also showed that the weight of a spinning top changes if it is vibrated, heated or cooled or if it has an electric current passed through it.

The Einstein-Cartan theory, which in 1913 established a theoretical basis for the existence of torsion fields, predicts that there is either right-handed or left-handed torsion in space, depending on the location. Subsequent discoveries in quantum physics related to the notion of "spin" confirmed that "electrons" have "right-handed" or "left-handed" spin, meaning that movement will be detected that is either clockwise or counterclockwise. All atoms and molecules maintain varying degrees of balance between right- and left-handed spin. Kozyrev determined that strongly right-handed molecules such as sugar can shield torsion effects, whereas strongly left-handed molecules such as turpentine strengthen them.

Subsequent Russian investigations also determined that common polyethylene film acts as an excellent shield for torsion waves, and these findings were used in many different experiments such as those discussed by Dr Alexander Frolov.

DNA-related Definition of the Month

DNA Phantom Effect: discovery made famous by the Gariaev group in Russia that wave-activated DNA is capable of communicating outside space-time by creating wormholes as channels for transmission and reception of torsion energy.

The psychopomp is a symbol for Mercury, the Magician or Gemini the Twins, and is a function of intelligence ever seeking balance between opposites. Legend has it that the god Mercury was a messenger between heaven and earth; his symbol the Caduceus served as a reminder that balance resided in the intertwine of the coiled serpent kundalini and the double helix in DNA.

Although DNA is a single molecule with a double helix structure, its two complementary versions (twins) of the same text wrap around each other so as to duplicate or make copies of each other. Mercury also relates to speech and language; similarly, the structure of DNA as we understand it is made up of letters and language. The snake symbol is known worldwide through shamanism and religion. The cosmic serpent is also seen in the pattern that the sun weaves through the galaxy.

In Jungian terms the psychopomp is the mediator between the subconscious and conscious realms; hence, the shaman or magician serves as an intermediary. The psychopomp is the dream weaver in psychogenesis. What is this twilight state between the conscious and subconscious? Humankind has always been considered a microcosm within the macrocosm. The key to enlightenment is to unite the conscious with the subconscious and move into the superconscious--a state known as turiya or the fourth state in Hinduism. In the West Carl Jung called such an enlighened way of being the conjunctio oppositorium.

The prima materia is the beginning of this process and actually takes place in the mind. The symbol of the uroborus, the snake biting its own tail, represents this primal chaos in need of order or intelligence. Similarly, in kabalistic terms, we might speak of the crown of Kether which presides over Malkuth or matter. The dragon (snake) of the unconscious, sometimes called the ego, has to be sacrificed or integrated in order to enter the superconscious state. Mercury represents balancing all such opposites in a higher synthesis: the real Self or God.

Like Mercury, the psychopomp is also known as the "trickster." What is the trickster other than a play of illusion, maya? Hinduism teaches that the One becomes many; that is, God who is singular decided to become all of us. This transposition is similar to the singular DNA molecule which replicates and becomes many. In Jungian terms, unio mentalis is the function of the mind trying to unite all opposites through individuation. Like the godhead in myth, Mercury tries to beget himself through multiplication; hence, Mercury is uroborus, the "One and the many," the divine hermaphrodite begetting himself.

Another psychopomp symbol is the swan carrying souls to the afterlife. Cygnus (Swan) is in the constellation Aquarius. Paramahamsa (Great Swan) is a Hindu title given to swamis who can separate the personality from the soul, just as a swan separates milk from water. According to various traditions, the sun will align with Galactic Center on December 21, 2012, and be "reborn" via the cosmic mother or birth canal, the Milky Way's "Great Rift" as conceptualized by Egyptologist Ronald Wells. (See The Cygnus Mystery, by Andrew Collins.)

French philospher Jean Baudrillard often discusses the symbolism of the interaction between reality, symbols, and society. In Baudrillard's model, language is encoded symbols, whether via DNA or through computers. Semiotics is the study of this meaning. According to Baudrillard, modern society has (mis)placed all reality and meaning into symbols. The character of Morpheus in the Matrix refers to the real world outside of the Matrix as "the desert of the real"--a direct reference to the work of Baudrillard.

Coils and spirals are understood both in myth and science as a medium of transformation of different types of energy (electromagnetism, radio waves, etc.) from one plane to another. Hermes or Mercury is a divine hermaphrodite containing both male and female in balance as symbolized in the Caduceus. Humanity, both male and female, is a composite of twin waves of alternating energy, right and left, yin and yang, positive and negative.

In any discussion of rhythmic balance interchange, one must look at the work of Walter Russell, who wrote books such as The Secret of Light from a heightened state of cosmic consciousness. Russell offers that matter is merely motion and is insubstantial. Have we been tricked into mistaking the "desert of the real" (maya) for the real? "Electric matter is but a mirror which reflects qualities outside itself to simulate those qualities within itself," writes Russell, adding that "all matter is electric. Electricity conditions all matter under the measured control on the ONE MAGNETIC LIGHT which forever balances the TWO electrically divided, conditioned lights of matter and space."

The Caduceus is one of many symbols throughout the world that convey the balance between poles. The ankh of ancient Egypt, the yab-yum of Tibet, the yin-yang of China, and the Sri Yantra of India are some popular examples. Also, the great archetypes of shapeshifting ("trickstering"), including the Nordic Loki, the American Indian coyote and the Indian god Hanuman, symbolize conjunctio oppositorium.

Merlin the magician of Arthurian legend has the same potential of these gods to be invisible and to cloak himself. This power or siddhi has been called the twenty-sixth gene key. The great sea of quantum foam known as the Cinnabar Field can be manipulated in such a mercurial way that one can appear as anything--or nothing. Masters who possess this siddhi reportedly can create a body or maya virupa (body made out of maya) and appear anyplace they want, or even in multiple places.

This level of mastery begins in the thymus gland near the heart chakra. Love is repeatedly cited as the key to attaining such higher frequencies. Over time, sustained attunement to these higher frequencies results in (trans)mutation of DNA.

Each of us is magical in the true sense of who we are. The old "black magic" of the trickster is very real; however, positive manipulation of such power is a higher art form that, when perfected, produces the God being from within. In a profound and powerful sense, we are all seeking the God gene behind the shadow self of the trickster.

Did You Know ... that by making the conscious commitment to find ways to attune ourselves to Galactic Center's torsion energy emissions that stimulate our DNA to evolve us consciously from within, we personally perform the godlike task of ushering in the Age of Consciousness referenced in venerable wisdom traditions all over the globe? As inherently spiritual beings with an innate impulse to return "home," we are calling to us the very spiritual energies designed to take us there, dissolving at a stroke the bugaboo of causality as well as the false opposition between "nature" and "nurture," while demonstrating that "As above, so below" can, and should, be read the other way as well: "So below, as above."

On January 6, 2005, I attended a mind-blowing lecture on the Mayan calendar that finally gave me the "big picture" of the history--and future--of all creation. The good news is that despite some inevitable bumps in the road, the period between now and 2012 will be one of exponentially expanding consciousness--ending in the Golden Age so many of us have been awaiting.

The talk was given by Ian Lungold, an artisan who became fascinated by the Mayas while making jewelry based on their designs. Information began streaming through him, which took him on a path of exploration that resulted in a complex understanding of the Mayan calendar. Not actually a calendar in the ordinary sense, the so-called Mayan calendar is really a meter of the movement of creation, a tool to tune your consciousness to the flow of evolution in order to develop your intuition and become a co-creator with the divine.

A calendar is the dead center of any civilization's consciousness, said Lungold, and represents the intersection of time and place as a civilization's point of view or location of consciousness. The Gregorian calendar (est. 1582) is pinned to physical events: the rotation of Earth around the sun every 365.25 days. The Mayas, who used a total of seventeen calendars, had one like the Gregorian called the Haab, used only for commerce and tax purposes. The Tzolkin, or 260-day calendar, was used most frequently as a personal and astrological calendar, or chart of consciousness. It was based on a 7-day/6-night creation cycle familiar to us via the Old Testament, which came from the ancient Sumerians. (Apparently, both the Mayas and Sumerians had access to the same body of wisdom concerning the Arc of Evolution in this solar system that began 16.4 billion years ago.)

In a riveting four-hour talk, Lungold put a chart on the board that looked like a Mayan pyramid and took us through the precisely timed stages of evolution from single-celled organisms all the way up to October 28, 2011, when according to an increasingly substantiated interpretation often associated with the writings of Carl Johan Calleman, the Mayan calendar officially ends. Lungold went straight to Mayan elders to get this information after discovering that the dates and other facts publicized by Jose Arguelles in The Mayan Factor were questionable.

I will not attempt to recount all the historical events that show precise correspondence with the Mayan timeline; suffice it to say that it all made, and continues to make, perfect sense. Most recently, the "Planetary Cycle" that began in 1755 with the Industrial Revolution and culminated in 1992 with the Internet was concerned with the concentration of power. This was a time when the mind became king, and intuition went out of style and became basically a death sentence--as the burning of ten million women as "witches" sadly demonstrates.

Lungold made the point that the mind is at best a tool like a calculator--and at worst, a parasite concerned only with self-preservation. The mind can only operate at twenty-four frames or thoughts per second, which is very limiting in this age of rapidly accelerating technology and consciousness. Stress has become a worldwide epidemic as the mind tries and fails to keep up. Suicides are on the upswing and can be seen as an "equipment failure," while many others prefer to go unconscious through various addictions to sedate the stressed-out mind. In other words, denial is a sign of the times.

We'll all be going completely "out of our minds" and coming into present time, said Lungold, between now and 2011, when we head into the last year of the cycle. We're moving past the limitations of the mind into the intuitive space referred to as "the Zone" in athletics, when a player reaches a point of perfect equanimity. This is also the space of "no mind" found through meditation and other acts like sex (if you do it right, according to Lungold).

Science has found that while in the Zone, our whole brain lights up and every cell is activated. This is how we're meant to live. The key is getting centered, which comes from regular practice at attaining this state. Lungold likens this state to a spinning gyroscope with a calm center that keeps it from falling over. But if a piece is chipped or broken, the whole thing will fly apart. This is basically what we will be challenged to do in the next three years or so: stay centered in our intuitive knowing so that we don't fly apart as consciousness accelerates and world events grow more intense.

Paying attention and having intention will be key. The Neanderthals died out because after 100,000 years, they were still using the same tools. They couldn't imagine a different future, so they had no future. When you're centered in your intuition, Lungold suggests, you're actually creating your future. This would explain why our intuition is often right. Intention will become crucial in the coming time of exponential change, because there are so many more options available to us than ever before, and less persistence will be required to achieve our goals. Instant manifestation will become the norm! And in this scenario, there will only be two types of roles to choose between: creator or victim.

The "Galactic Cycle" began on January 5, 1999 and lasts for 12.8 years. The dawn of this cycle was the Y2K scare, which was a mass warning or planting of a seed conveying this message: "Don't trust your systems." Nothing happened at the time, but as of 2008 we find ourselves in the Fifth Night of the Galactic Cycle, which encourages a big opening in consciousness but also the crumbling of many old structures, which could involve economics.

Lungold says to pay attention to the wisdom of the Hopi, who advise: 1) Know where your food and water are coming from, and 2) Know all of your relations. Getting out of cities could be wise, he suggests, as the Fifth Nights of previous cycles have witnessed World Wars I and II, and prior to these events, the Dark Ages. The coming trial will be shorter and less severe than the previous ones, however, because overall, things are getting dramatically better.

By 2009, when we will have entered the Sixth Day (corresponding to the Renaissance and the beatnik/hippie time period of 1952-72), says Lungold, consciousness will overcome technology completely and our larger minds will merge with computers to produce such phenomena as teleportation, time travel, and age reversal.

On the Sixth Night, in 2010, according to Lungold, we can anticipate a period of bliss lasting almost the entire solar year. We'll be back to our roots, attuned to an organic value system. On the Seventh Day, at the start of the "Universal Cycle" which begins February 10, 2011, and lasts one hundred days, we will finally experience ourselves as co-creators with God (though some will have achieved this state sooner).

Anything we can possibly dream of already exists in the mind of God. As we discover more and more about the inner workings of Creation, this truth will be known by all. Some will fall by the wayside and become "mulch" for future growth, however, as consciousness accelerates too rapidly for them to grasp. This Grand Cycle affects not just Earth, claims Lungold, but the entire Universe, which is evolving alongside us.

What happens after 2011? Time and space will slip away as solid measurements. The best example Lundgold could give of what it will be like occurs in the film What Dreams May Come, in which thought creates instant manifestation. Meanwhile, Lungold advises not investing in anything that lacks integrity, such as the stock market, and to step back as our culture falls in a manner similar to what happened with the Roman Empire.

It can also be helpful to attune oneself to the daily flow of creation through the Galactic Astrology Mayan Calendar and Conversion Codex (available on Lungold's website, http://www.mayanmajix.com, still in operation since his passing). This website also teaches you how to calculate your Mayan birth sign and life assignment (which are both typically different from Jose Arguelles' Dreamspell version). Knowing your essential purpose and the intention for each day can attune you to your intuition, which puts you in sync with the flow of Creation and produces entrainment, or synchronization with All That Is.

For more information on many of the concepts introduced in this article, I recommend Carl Johan Calleman's The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness.
