The Madisonville Crop Circles

2007 Madisonville Crop Circle

While watching something on HGTV, I notice a garden being designed in the format of a crop circle. Though this is old news, some of you might not have heard it and it seems timely, somehow.

Last year, in Madisonville, TN, a true, unman-made crop circle appeared in a wheat field. It was truly amazing and beautiful to behold.

Then again this year, another one appeared nearby. Wow.

However, the WOW is greatly dismissed this time around. It seems that this latest one was man-made. Oh well.

Now you are probably wondering how I know this. Easy. The Independent Crop Circle Researchers' Association came down to investigate both circles and gave a public lecture on their findings.



Here are a few factors that real natural crop circles have in common:

• The growth nodes on the plants within the circle are elongated, unnaturally so.
• There is more radioactivity measured within the circle than outside of it, as well as elevated EMF readings.
• Most appear on the down slope of a field.
• They are near a water source.
• They are near power lines.
• They are near Native American Burial Mounds.
• There are rarely pathways into the circle when first found.

The first crop circle met all this criteria. The second did not. There were pathways (and sprayer lines) and there were no changes in the nodes of the plants (they did 700 plant samples). The ICCRA speculated that it probably took someone two hours to create the second one, and it was fairly simplistic.

There is quite a bit more, but you get the general idea.

Sadly, despite the fact that these circles may be interesting, they actually hurt farmers. It is one thing when it occurs by an act of something other than a human, but when copy cats go out into the field, they are syphoning away a farmer's profits.

Just some interesting local stuff.

Origins

We all seem to get notions in our head and here we are, writing and reading, clicking and moving on, and we make no mention of the origins of our ideas. In my quest to become a transpersonal psychologist (I'll always be a hypnotist), it occurs to me that I should honor my origins for my 2012 passion. I did not just stumble upon it all; it came directly into my consciousness from a particular source.

A bit over a year ago, I became part of a group known as the Fortean Society. It is a group of individuals, who meet once a week to discuss tales of the weird and strange, ghosts, conspiracy theories, crop circles, and UFOs. Normally we meet at a charming book store called Southland's in Maryville, Tennessee (check first, sometimes we meet else where). It is a great way to wind down at the end of the day - get a decent cup of coffee (maybe a home-made cinnamon roll), browse the paranormal books, and enjoy in the good company of other open-minded souls or people who are respectful of other's thoughts and ideas.

Well, it was at one particular meeting that 2012 came up. Maybe it was David Icke or a Discovery Channel show that we were centered on, but there it was, something odd about 2012. From there the rest is history.

But, Jason, our fearless leader of the Forteans has just begun a 2012 blog. It is still in its infancy, but if it is anything like the man behind it, it will prove to be very thought provoking (I mean that in the kindest of ways). So, please consider stopping by and visiting with him.

A Breakfast of Frequency with the Aliens

Theorist José Argüelles believes that we are and have been in a galactic frequency beam since 3113 BC. Guess when this period of the beam ends? Did you guess 2012? Boy, you catch on quickly. LOL.

Here's a delightfully fun view of Mayan history. The Maya were not of this planet. Yes, indeed they were aliens, aliens with a purpose. And basically, we may have four more years to figure it out what it was. The theory is that the first Maya (seed Maya if you will), came to this planet and left observations about seven other planetary systems where they have navigated. Once they had finished leaving information about our relationship with these seven other planets and the great beam, they were done.

So let us ponder a few things. We must ask ourselves why did the Mayan Great Cycle start on August 13, 3113 BC when their civilization began to flourish between 100-300 AD? If the Mayan calendar was just merely to be used for planning purposes, such as when to plant crops, etc., why is there such a gap between the beginning and the civilized time? Perhaps the Long Count came first and a pattern was recognized for crop production within it. Perhaps the calendar is something else - a code. If one takes the 260-day count, such as Argüelles does, and makes it into a matrix with 260 units, it coincides with the timing of the Great Cycle as well with that being 260 katuns (20 years to one katun). This is the same as the day cycle. It is then possible that the calendar is like a periodic table of galactic frequencies.

Basically this Great Beam is made out of a frequency that is generated from the galactic core and is mediated through the sun. The beam in itself is 5, 125 years wide and the same in diameter. Now if we look closely at the idea of resonance, we know that there are certain factors involved including the notion that resonance produces waves or vibratory cycles. When these reach a certain point, they become form or matter.

Also, this beam has frequency waves that rise and fall like those in our oceans. And like the ocean waves, there is a breaking point. When was the breaking point of our galactic beam? To be exact, it was August 16 and 17, 1987. Do you remember where you were then? (I was starting my first year away from home, a totally different consciousness).Heck, were you even born? LOL.

Now we are just waiting for the wave to cascade into our shore and that will happen in 2012. What will that mean? Will we be able to decode the Mayan code? Will it advance us?

Or maybe, just maybe advancing means devolving (in human terms). Think of animals and how they adapt to nature much more easily than we do. We need comforts like clothing, shelter, and such. But does this make us out of harmony, out of resonance with the galaxy? Have we grown too reliant on technology? Maybe we are using too many of our resources to power these advancements, and as Argüelles points out, have we spent those resources during one large binge? Are we letting technology clog our own receptors to being in balance with the universe?

He begs us to wake up and decide what fate we want for our plant.

The Alignment of the 2012 Astrology

On December 21, 2012, there will be a galactic alignment that happens very infrequently (about every 26,000 years). This is what I believe is the main mystique behind all the 2012 hype. Do not read this believing that I am a nay-sayer. It may indeed be indicative of change, and change we certainly need, but I do think the astrological alignment is the backbone of it all.

Basically, we need to consider ground zero for this event. John Major Jenkins believes this will be at Izapa, located in the Mexican state of Chiapas. It is here, upon the ancient Maya ball grounds that the the aliment really takes shape. One December 21, 2012, the Solstice sun will rise in unison with the galactic center of the Milky Way.

If one is to look at the position of the Izapa ball field, the alignment is astounding. This includes paying attention to where the monuments were erected and how they faced. When on the ball field and looking north (toward the Tacaná Volcano) one can see the Big Dipper rise (the pole star is considered the polar center to the Maya) and fall over this. Then there are six council seats on the court that look over to the initiate or shamans seat. This person sits facing the horizon of the December sun. All the elements will align perfectly from this vantage point.

This goes hand in hand with the Astrology characters the creation myth provides. The Big Dipper represents Seven Macaw. The Milky Way represents the Underworld. The December Solstice Sun represent Hunaphu. With the rise and fall of the Big Dipper, it relates to the taking down of Seven Macaw. With the meeting of the Milky Way and the Solstice sun, it is the resurrection of One Hunaphu. The Milky Way passes the alignment and the Sun remains shining through.

Corn People

Click here to see the video mentioned in this post.

You maybe thinking to yourself that this is old news - the whole Good Morning America about a documentary two college students are doing about the pervasiveness of corn in our lives. This includes what we ingest. And after looking for the story to post here, there seems to be a lot of sentiments and feelings about the idea that corn is in so much of what we eat. (It is true - go look in your pantries and refrigerator and notice how much high fructose corn syrup there is in there). Now I personally do not have anything against corn in general, but have tried to cut back on anything with high fructose corn syrup (my genetics may make me pre-disposed to diabetes).

But, really, I could not help but put this video on here, not so much for the health impact, but because it relates to my fascination with the Mayan Calendar. (See, I had not forgotten).

First, let me say that what struck my fancy in this video was the carbon testing they did on various people's hair. Apparently with such testing you can learn how much of your make-up (that is body, not the stuff you put on to look pretty) is corn-based. Diane Sawyer is 50%.

Interestingly enough, the idea of people being made out of corn relates to the Mayan Creation Myth. Not to simplify it too much, but in order not to write a dissertation, here's the gist. According to the The Popol Vuh, which is a text that references the Mayan Creation Myth, man is made from corn. Other substances were tried, such as mud and wood, but the true man was made out of yellow and white maze or cornmeal.

They came together in darkness to think and reflect. This is how they came to decide on the right material for the creation of man. ... Then our Makers Tepew and Q'uk'umatz began discussing the creation of our first mother and father. Their flesh was made of white and yellow corn. The arms and legs of the four men were made of corn meal.

There is much more to it all, but this is the part that totally relates to the GMA story. Man is made of corn. Our carbon make-up proves it.

Mayan Dating

12 . 19 . 15 . 2 . 14

Ha. Did you think I would post about the adventures of dating a Mayan, such as "will you go out with me?" (Well, I might literally go out in 2012, depending on your perspective. LOL). What I am talking about is, yes again, the Mayan calendar.

There is a part of me that is completely tempted to take up Mayan time - you know, really use it in the everyday world. I admit it is a complete novelty to me. You will note the five numbers above in orange. This is today's date on the Mayan Calendar. Curious how it breaks down?

• 12 is how many baktuns there has been since the Mayan Long count began (1 baktun is equal to 394.26 years).
• 19 is the number of katuns (1 katun equals 19.7 years) that have passed in the current baktun.
• 15 is the number of tuns (the number of vague years, roughly 360 days per vague year) or katuns that we are on.
• 2 is the number of uinals (vague months in a vague year, about 20 vague months to a vague year) is the amount of months that have passed in the current vague year.
• 14 is the number of kins (days) is the number of days in the current vague month.

The date all this began was on August 11, 3114 BC. Here's that fun number 13 again - on December 21, 2012 the date will be 13.0.0.0.0.

Just something to think about.

A Really Brief Look at the Mayan Calendar Math

So, are you now (or at all) intrigued with the Mayan Calendar and what it may mean for humanity in the near future? Well, grab your cowboy boots or whatever you need to go deep into the wilds of ancient culture. Its time to explore some mathematical concepts.

There is a lot to how the calendar works, and unlike the one most of us use these days - seven days a week, 28 to 31 days a month, 12 months in a years and so on - the Mayan Calendar was more complex. It is often described in terms of two wheels whose cogs turn together. One wheel is the tzolken, which loosely translates to "sacred calendar," which has a count of 260 days (broken down into something equivalent to 13 months of 20 days each). This works with the the other wheel - the Vague Year. This has a count of 360 days (some say 365) . These complete a 52 year cycle before starting again (which they do). This was to help them mark scarred times.

But does this have to do with 2012? It is all part of the Great Cycle, which is determined using what the Mayans termed the Long Count. Let's take it like this: we have one day. Twenty of these days equals a Vague Month. 360 days equals a Vague Year. Next in the Long Count, we have 7,200 days that is the equivalent of 19.7 years. And then we have 144,000 days or 394.2 years. Thirteen (that lucky number) multiplied by 394.2 years is one World Age Cycle. And are you ready for this? The end of this World Cycle is on December 21,2012.

There is more to it than what I have surmised, but what is interesting is that even though the Mayan people more or less vanished or assimilated into other cultures, their calender has continued, the time passing by, until...
