The Earth doesn’t simply orbit the Sun as it moves through space; the Sun itself is also in motion. As a result, the Earth’s movement is not confined to a single plane but instead follows a spiral path. Some ancient cultures, such as the Mayans, seem to have had a better understanding of this concept than we do today. According to Amethyst Freeman, the Mayan Cosmic Time Calendar predicted the conclusion of four cosmic cycles and an era around 2012. Some researchers suggest that the fifth Mayan world ended in 1987, and we have entered the sixth world. They envisioned this as a period of cosmic evolution, during which a significant energy surge from the central Sun would propel all life forms, planets, and solar systems in this universe forward. This cycle takes approximately 26,860 years to complete. In “Ascend with Light,” Amethyst Freeman tells us they believed: “As our solar system and planet move closer in alignment with the galactic central sun, more and more highly charged photons bombard the planet, and all matter would be affected and time is speeding up.”
We understand the cosmic cycle; the Precession of the Equinoxes is passing a critical phase, starting a new era. As in the transition from night to day, the dawn is not an instant. This period of change from one age to the next will take some time. We do not know how long. It is very likely that only after we understand the significance of the changes will we realise the shift.
Dr. Paul LaViolette’s work suggests that we are currently in an area of the cosmos where we may be exposed to higher radiation levels. In his PhD dissertation, he introduced the theory of Galactic Superwaves, which could potentially have devastating effects on our civilisation. In 2006, Dr. LaViolette stated, “A conservative estimate would be that there is a 90% chance that a superwave will reach us in the next four centuries.” These changes could be so significant that they pose an existential threat to our civilisation.
The changes we face present a serious and immediate threat to our civilisation. As we contemplate the potential impact of these changes, it’s helpful to consider how ancient societies ended. Jared Diamond, an American geographer, historian, anthropologist, and author, has studied the collapse of societies and developed a framework that examines human environmental impacts, climate change, relations with others (friends and enemies), and attitudes (political, economic, and social) that affect society.
We have the scientific evidence to show that our civilisation is in crisis. Unfortunately, as a civilisation, we do not seem to understand or appreciate the severity of the situation. Two issues that have hindered previous civilisations from responding effectively are relevant today because we can see them in today’s society. One of these issues is the conflict between the short-term goals of decision-making elites and the long-term interests of society. The other equally important issue is the challenge of making decisions that go against deeply ingrained values. It is imperative to reevaluate our beliefs and values. The outcomes of COP meetings, aimed at reducing CO2 emissions, are compelling evidence of the difficulty of these issues for us.
Barry Saxifrage of Canada’s National Observer wrote in 2018: “Despite these decades of global promises and negotiations — on climate policies, emissions targets, clean energy and efficiency — CO2 levels have not stabilised. Not only are emissions still rising, they are actually accelerating upwards.”
He goes on to say:
“To appreciate how fast CO2 levels have been accelerating, look at the dotted lines. Each one shows the average rate of increase for a different decade. Instead of reducing our pollution pace since the COPs started in the early 1990s, we’ve increased it more than fifty per cent.”
