|   Chapter 1 Earth changes  Our dear mother Earth, Gaia is suffering under the  stress of human endeavours that have become unbearable as the world population  keeps growing at an unfathomable rate. The present world population counts 6  billion souls and will grow to 10 billion by 2030 and 20 billion by 2070 if the  present growth rate is maintained.
 Humanity alone consumes 40% of the net primary  production of food and energy that the Earth has available for its entire  species. In the last thirty years alone more than a third of the natural  resources were destroyed due to human endeavour. Our rivers are polluted and  our oceans are dying.  Gaia is no longer able to cope with the beatings  she’s had and we are going to experience the results rather sooner than later,  it’s only a matter of time. We no longer have to believe scientists who claim  that ‘global warming’ cannot be proven and that Earth is doing well. Everyone  with eyes to see and ears to hear should have noticed by now that our climate  is changing. By the end of this century the poles will have melted away, our  oceans will be polluted to the core, the rainforests the lungs of the Earth  will have gone and two thirds of all animal species on Earth will be extinct!
 Even in this alarming state, most of us seem more  bothered about our annual compensation for inflation and the results of our  favourite soccer club in the champion’s league than about the acid rain that’s  falling on our roofs. If we have a glance in the newspapers every day, we may  get the impression the world is getting more violent by the day. The Middle   East is in a state of turmoil, and the threat of  terrorism after 911 has become so imminent that it affects the lives of  millions already. The polarization and intolerance between world cultures and  religions is rapidly increasing.
 Many are  also experiencing dramatic changes in their personal lives. Intimate relations  and marriages seem to break up more easily and frequently than ever before in  the past. Our good old nine to   five jobs that seemed to guarantee us an easy passage  to retirement are gone and job rotation has become the buzzword! Burnouts among  managers are commonplace and we see many drop outs in this rat race.  Our  Western economies that were so very stable for decades seem very imbalanced  these days and employment in the West on a large scale is lost in favour of the  developing countries that are waiting for their economic boosts! Economic  developments seem to take place in an ever-increasing speed; the time to market  for new products has become unbelievably short. In many cases the product is  already outdated before its introduction on the market. And then there are  these billion dollar state deficits of our world economies that have become so  heavy that they may collapse under their own weight. Even our political  structures, the established parties that once were the cornerstones and glues  of our society have become unpredictable. New parties with radical political  ideas arise out of the blue and take on loads of followers in their wake, much  to the horror and surprise of the establishment.  On a large scale corruption and money laundry  scandals seem to surface in which prestigious multinational companies are  involved. Our world is changing, and it is changing fast, it  even feels as if time itself is going faster doesn’t it? What is going on in  our world today and what is it leading to?   Prophecies The world has known many prophets and many of them  predicted destruction and despair at the new millennium which seems such a  magical time for the world to end. This has not only been prophesised for the  end of the second millennium but it was prophesised for the first millennium as  well and as we all stand to testify, this catastrophe did not come to pass. Then there are other seers such as Nostradamus  (1503- 1566), who prophesised that mankind by the year 2000 would either suffer  an apocalyptic holocaust or would see unprecedented change and the birth of a  new global consciousness.

 Madame Blavatsky (1831-1891), mystic and founder of the  Theosophical Society predicted that at the closing of a 5200-year period, the  present Kali Yuga or Dark Age would be succeeded by an age of  light. So there is still hope! The most prominent seer of the last century  undoubtedly is Edgar Cayce (1877- 1945). He is the best-documented  clairvoyant ever. Edgar Cayce, known as the sleeping prophet has performed  14.306 ‘readings’ while asleep in an altered state of consciousness all of which were documented. Edgar Cayce  became very famous for his medical ‘readings’, since he could with an almost  hundred percent accuracy diagnose the ailment of his patients. In most cases he  would even mention the name and address of the physician to consult! All of  this while in a state of trance knowing only the name of the patient whom he  never met! In the latter days of his ‘career’ he began to pass on information  about past civilizations such as about the Egyptian and Atlantean culture and  also foretold events of the future of this planet that became known as the  ‘Earth changes’. Edgar Cayce himself founded the ‘Association for Research and  Enlightenment’ (A.R.E.) to preserve his own legacy. This organization still  exists today and is very active. Edgar Cayce has been studied at length, more  than three hundred books were dedicated to this mystical man alone.(2)
 Today Edgar Cayce still puzzles many people because already a  great number of his predictions were proven right and a lot of scholars mostly  archaeologists and Egyptologists have learned to take his information very  seriously and use it as a beacon in their scientific endeavours.  Cayce  suggested that the years between 1958 and 1998 would be a time of great  changes, a global transformation. These changes would not mean the end of the  world but would herald a New Age and a spiritual transformation. The Earth  itself would pass through tremendous changes in the form of massive  earthquakes, eruptions of volcanoes, intensified solar activity, dramatic  changes in weather patterns, submergence of land masses, culminating in the  shifting of the poles. Now these prophecies are not a very promising  perspective; however as we will show in this book dramatic climate changes are  indeed occurring and an upsurge of natural catastrophes is sweeping the Earth  even as this book is written. Fortunately,  one of the strongest arguments that Cayce used often was that the future is not  predetermined and that much depends on humanity’s own intention to shape its  own future. In this respect he left room open for other outcomes of his own  predictions. The sleeping prophet also glimpsed into the past of  human history and gave detailed information about ancient civilizations such as  the Egyptian.  Hundreds of his readings discussed the lost continent of Atlantis that  submerged in the Atlantic Ocean  10,500 years B.C. during a global cataclysm, a flooding caused by the shifting  of the Earth’s poles. He described the Atlantean civilization as the most  advanced civilization of human history. Cayce also mentions the Hall of  Records, a library of Atlantean knowledge that was saved after the inundation  by survivors of the sinking Atlantis in two places on Earth, one of them should  reside between the left paw of the Sphinx and the Nile  at the Giza plateau and the other place is Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula of the  Mayas. According to Cayce the Great Pyramid (pyramid of Cheops or Khufu) at the  Giza plateau in Egypt, was built 10.500 BC by Toth the Atlantean also known as Hermes  Trismegistus by the Greek and the high priest Ra-Ta both survivors of Atlantis. They built the  Great Pyramid in order to preserve the Atlantean culture. Edgar Cayce explained that he himself is the reincarnation  of Ra-Ta, the high priest who joined in the construction of the Great Pyramid. According to Cayce most of modern-day science and  technology is simply a rediscovery of technologies that once belonged to the  Atlantean culture. And as we will demonstrate in this book, indeed an ancient  knowledge is resurfacing again shedding a whole new light on science and is  helping to shape a new aether science. Bits  and pieces of the Atlantean knowledge have been secretly preserved in secret  societies such as the Freemasonry. A lot  of the original knowledge however was lost, but the fundamentals of this new  science has been preserved in an old art of science known as ‘sacred geometry’ that  now has been reconstructed.   Leonardo Da Vinci was a member of such a secret society who  throughout modern history preserved the art of sacred geometry in his art forms. The Roman Catholic Church  forbad this pagan knowledge since the Holy Scriptures of the Bible were the  only ones that were required and allowed.  The subject of  Leonardo Da Vinci’s  secret society membership has received worldwide attention since Dan Brown  wrote a book about it called the ‘Da Vinci Code’. Although the book is mostly  about the supposed marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene and their offspring, it  also hints at the fact that Leonardo Da Vinci stressed the importance of the  Golden Mean, Phi. In this book we will show you that scientists have been  using sacred geometry,  the geometry of Phi, to create a whole new physics based on the importance of  the Golden Mean, Phi! The ‘Holy Grail’ that is being discussed in the ‘Da Vinci  Code’ I believe is neither about a physical object, the cup used at the last  supper of Jesus nor his royal blood line (‘sang real’) but in fact is about the  preservation of sacred geometry and the significance of the Golden Mean that  humanity is now rediscovering! Last but not least, one of the most  amazing prophecies that is gaining interest worldwide, as the prophecies seem  to unfold as this book is being written, are the Mayan end-time prophecies for  2012.  The Mayan culture was a Native American  Indian culture that flourished from 300 AD to 900 AD in South America. For reasons still unknown to scholars, the classical Maya culture abruptly ended when  they abandoned their cities and temple complexes around 900 AD. Nowadays  descendents of the Mayas are still living in Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras and they still carry with them the prophecies of their ancestors.  The Mayas were excellent sky watchers and had a profound understanding of  astronomy. They were obsessed with time cycles and had developed several  extremely accurate calendar systems based on celestial cycles. One of them is the 260 kin (days)  Tzolkin calendar, another the 365  kin (days) Haab calendar. The Haab  synchronises with the cycles of Venus and the Tzolkin synchronises with the  mystifying Mayan Long Count calendar. The Long Count  calendar was used for long periods  of time and consists of 13 Baktun sub-cycles. A Baktun  consists of 20 sub-cycles called Katuns. Each Katun consists of 20 tuns and  finally the tun consists of 360 kins (days). So a complete Baktun lasts 20 x 20  x 360 = 144.000 kins, a very sacred number from antiquity and mentioned  multiple times in the Bible. Some scholars believe that the significance of the  13:20 ratio embedded in the Long Count Calendar is hinting at the Golden  Mean ratio of sacred geometry; however a 13:21 ratio would  represent a true Fibonacci ratio that converges to the  Golden Mean.    The total duration of the Long Count  Calendar is 5200 years. According to  Mayan scholars, the Long Count calendar started on August 11th   3114 BC and will end on the 21st December   2012. The Maya believed that the world had  gone though many epochs in the past which they called Suns. The end of the Long  Count calendar would be the end of the fourth Sun and the birth of the fifth  Sun, signifying the end of the old world as we know it and the beginning of a  new one. So the Mayan end-time prophecies are really about a new beginning, a  rebirth of the Earth.  The Mayan prophecies seem to be in  accord with Edgar Cayce’s predictions, since the Mayas too predict that this new  beginning would be preceded by serious upheavals in the world and great  challenges for mankind. These challenges would shift humanity’s consciousness on a global scale.  The origins of the Mayan prophecies can  be traced back to the Mayan book of creation, the Popul Vuh. Their greatest  prophet was Lord Pacal. The Mayan prophecies were kept secret for ages and decoding  of the only four Mayan codices that survived the Spanish Inquisition started in  the 1960’s and indeed the breakthrough in cracking the code was made as late as  the eighties. Meantime, the Mayan shamans passed on the prophecies orally from  one generation to the next with profound secrecy. Their policy to keep the  prophecies secret changed when the Mayas recognised the first signs of the  Earth changes that their prophecies had predicted. They knew it was the time  for the world at large to learn about them.  In 1997, a Dutch filmmaker was allowed  to film the gathering of Native American Indian tribes from all over the  continent of America at a sacred ceremony held in the dark forests of Guatemala. The ceremony was held to heal the Earth and the Indians no  longer attempted to conceal their prophecies and allowed Dutch documentary  filmmaker Wiek Lenssen to film the event. His film  ‘The Year Zero’ unfortunately didn’t get the international attention it  deserved. (3)
   Crop circles                   Among all above-mentioned Earth changes taking  place in our time of human history an almost neglected strange and ridiculed  phenomenon is happening; the appearance of crop circles all around the globe in  the last two decades. To date some ten thousand crop circles have been reported and catalogued. Many claim  them to be hoaxes and indeed many of them probably are as the infamous couple  Doug & Dave misled the world in 1991 flattening the crops with their wooden  planks. However the abundance of crop circles appearing all over the world cannot possibly  be the joke of a few hoaxers alone. Crop circles have been thoroughly  investigated and the real circles show no signs of crop damage only light burns  at the stem as if bent by some unknown energetic force. Studies have revealed  changes in the electromagnetic field surrounding the crop circles. Whoever or  whatever made these crop circles is irrelevant to the importance of the message  these crop circles are conveying. Crop circles are demonstrating to us the  principles of sacred geometry!  The elegant and often fractal shapes of crop circles contain sometimes obvious sometimes hidden  geometry. Crop circles are portraying the knowledge that was partly preserved  in ancient traditions that can still be found today in the Buddhist and Hindu Mandala, the architecture of churches and  cathedrals and many art forms such as in the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci.   Recapitulation
 Our last century has been a busy one and especially  in the last two decades many changes occurred that seems to create disharmony  and instability on social levels and in politics. It also has become obvious  that our climate is changing and there is mass starvation of species many of  them becoming extinct. Edgar Cayce predicted in the thirties of the previous  century many of the events that are now unfolding. He also predicted that  science eventually would restore the scientific knowledge of the legendary lost  continent of Atlantis. Now something definitely is going on on this planet  and surprisingly Edgar Cayce has forecast these events that came to be  known as the prophecies of the ‘Earth changes’. The same message is brought to  us from antiquity by the Mayan prophecies concealed within the Mayan codices  and the Mayas alive today are confirming the sacred message of their ancestors. Along with all of these Earth changes, as predicted  by Cayce also a new scientific awareness is being born. Its birthing took place  in a small circle of scientists mostly outside the ring of mainstream science.  This circle of scholars is expanding rapidly; among them are professors of  famous universities in the fields of physics, biology, and neurophysiology.  These scientists paint a whole new scientific vision that is breathtaking to  say the least, however there is little public awareness of this new emerging  vision since our newspapers and the late evening news hardly cover them. Of all  the scientists that ever populated this Earth, 99 percent of them now walk the  face of the Earth, no wonder there are breakthroughs! The new vision reveals a wondrous universe in which  human consciousness plays a far more important role than ever  fathomed. It also reveals that our civilization may not be the pinnacle of  evolution after all, it is becoming more and more clear that other great and  highly advanced civilizations must have preceded our current civilization.  Atlantis is rising as Edgar Cayce predicted! Could all of these developments be  pre-cursors of a burgeoning scientific revolution eventually leading to a  spiritual transformation that has been predicted in the past? In the new  scientific vision, science and spirituality are converging!
 Our knowledge seems to be speeding up so fast, that  if we don’t change the school system, we will be teaching our kids history only  in school! Probably sometime in the future, the history books will mark the end  of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century as the  epoch of a scientific renaissance. So let’s proceed and see what it is that  science has to say.    |
