21-12-12

Well, it’s December 2012…finally. Is your mind reeling with possibilities? Your heart swelling with expectations? Your body anxious to house more of YOU? Your spirit so very ready to connect with Home in this new way? Are the many possibilities racing through your mind and heart about the grand Expiration Date of 12-21-12?
The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of beliefs according to which cataclysmic or transformative event will occur on 21 December 2012. This date is regarded as the end-date of a 5125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae have been proposed as pertaining to this date.

A date inscription in the Mayan Long Count on the east side of Stela C from Quirigua showing the date for the last Creation. It is read as 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ajaw8 Cumku and is usually correlated as 11 or 13 August, 3114 BCE on the Gregorian calendar. The date of 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ajaw 3 K'ank'in is usually correlated as 21 or 23 December 2012.

Five cycles of the Maya calendar add up to the great year

Both the Hopis and Mayans recognize that we are approaching the end of a World Age... In both cases, however, the Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquillity. 

We have gone through a difficult time leading into 2012. These difficulties are the result of our own disharmony of spirit. Governments, economic institutions and religions have let us down and begun to crumble. Resources are scarce and people are afraid.

The Mayan Prophecy shows, Kukulkan returning representing a rising of consciousness. People are reunited with the wisdom of the past as a new age unfolds. Not only does Kukulkan return but Mayan masters and initiates also return to help spread the wisdom of the Maya. People are drawn to the temples and ruins to remember the past age of knowledge. It’s a time for recording and writing things down. As we return to lost wisdom, we also return to living with the natural cycles represented by the calendars. People begin to elevate their own consciousness through the evolution of the energy centres in the body. We write the next phase of earth, the next age, together as people from all places unite.

The cycle of light will come in full force on 21/12/2012. This is considered the cycle of 13 lights and 13 heavens. Many cycles begin on that same date. Mother Earth as a living entity will transcend to another level or frequency or consciousness and a new and special era will begin. The preparation for this is now in the womb of the Earth so to speak and the process of change is bringing transcendental manifestations. This new era will be very positive. "Let all beings rise. Let not one or two stay behind". The times are here for total brotherhood. The spirit beings, different philosophies, different races must begin to weave together all knowledge to create the tapestry of harmony and balance. We are all seeing the evidence of this shift in human consciousness now. ...

The general Maya tradition believes that cycles of any length end with purification, followed by renewal.

We say it is the transition into the ‘New age’; the ‘Age of Light’ or the ‘Age of Aquarius’.

Some of us are filled with joy and elation, acknowledging, and rightfully so, that these old structures hold the old energy of the Piscean Age, and they are in no way in resonance with your New Age birthing on Gaia now.

There is a shift in your consciousness. Many of you have awakened to the knowing, to the truth that you are in charge of your own reality; that you are the manifestors in physical form – you are the creators of your own personal destiny! You understand now that it is time to co-create your unified future and not only your personal destiny. This is the main point to this time now to gather together in our groups large and small, to let go of the human beings in your life that drag us down, that drain our energy, that are not in synch with our awakening – and to magnetise towards ourselves others who are awakened and awakening; other who are conscious – because it is our combined power to co-create your combined destiny which is the most powerful force at work now!

The time is now to let go of what has been, regarding the lies and deceptions of the old world. The time is now to focus on what we choose! Do we choose love, abundance, peace, compassion, prosperity, health, justice, freedom, self-acceptance? This is our freedom, from this place, no one can hold us down at this time! It is no longer possible to bind us; to limit us; to keep us chained down through fear, which has always been the greatest tool of the Old World. Now we can manifest what we choose, not only individually but collectively – we find we are free! You are free!

Notice the emotions that are within you as you hear these words – emotions such as hope, joy and liberation! Only words that bring these emotions into your energy field are appropriate at this time. You must learn to scan your energy quickly as you feel whether things bring the vibration of fear or of freedom to you, then make the appropriate decision with what you will do.

21-12-12 is when the earth is rebirthed and the planet aligns with the new earth energies. It is a time for us to connect with the Divine on a deeper level, our consciousness expands and we move fully into remembrance of our true self. To let go of what is holding you back from embracing your soul's destiny and creative excellence.

Summer Solstice, traditionally a time of community and personal renewal and celebration. A powerful time to come together in group consciousness, to open us to this higher energetic frequency aligning your self with these positive energies to enhance your projection of success and prosperity for the coming year. Open your heart, celebrate your gifts and awaken to your greatest potential to meet the Aquarian Age.

At sunrise on December 21, 2012 for the first time in 26,000 years the Sun rises to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic. This cosmic cross is considered to be an embodiment of the Sacred Tree, The Tree of Life, a tree remembered in all the world’s spiritual traditions. Some observers say this alignment with the heart of the galaxy will open a channel for cosmic energy to flow through the Earth, cleansing it and all that dwells upon it, raising all to a higher level of vibration. 

2012 marks the end of a 26,000 year astrological period as recognized by the Mayans, Incas, Aztecs, Maoris and most of the ancient cultures. December 2012 is also the final end of the experiment of Atlantis. This took 10,000 years to set up, lasted for 240,000 years and is taking 10,000 years to tie up all the loose ends, so the 260,000 year experiment ends on 21.12.2012.

The special event of 2012 is the sacred triple rebirth of the sun. http://www.infinitelymystical.com gives us the details going over the rebirths one at a time.

Everyday when the sun sets, it goes below the horizon, seemingly under the ground of the earth, and we are left to endure a dark, cold night. Metaphorically, it can be said that the sun leaves our world and travels into the underworld, where it is said to be dead for the duration of the night. Yet at dawn, it rises above the ground and is reborn into our world bringing forth the light and heat we all need to stay alive. Obviously, if the sun would no longer rise, all of life would perish and because of this, the sun has been used for thousands of years by cultures all around the world as a symbol of the Creator's sustaining love.

Since the sunrise is so frequent, it is often taken for granted, but all of us of course know that this rebirth is truly vital. In addition to that, sunrises are often quite beautiful. In fact, this astronomical shift can be one of nature's most dramatic display of beauty with its blaze of red and pink, yellow and gold. This is the shift that naturally awakens us from our slumber.

Next is the winter solstice, which can be seen as the rebirth of the sun in the time frame of the year since the length of the day will now start to grow longer. If the days were to continue to grow shorter, the cold winter would only tighten its grip and we would all perish. So this rebirth is also vital.

Our comfortable homes insulate us from the long, harsh winter nights but when you think of both the daily and yearly rebirths from the perspective of cultures with significantly less physical comfort, you can appreciate that these rebirths of the sun would be experienced in a very tactile way. Add to that the rhythm of the harvest and you can certainly understand the strong motivation to celebrate these turning points in the cycles of time.

With excellent viewing conditions, which the Maya certainly had, it is possible to easily see the bright section near the center of the galaxy without a telescope, although the dark rift intrudes into it. For the Maya, the massive ball of bright lights at the center of the galaxy was seen as the pregnant belly of the mother of creation and the dark rift was seen as the galactic birth canal. In this way, the third rebirth occurs when the sun moves into the middle of the dark rift and this can be referred to as the galactic rebirth and it happens once a year. So the three rebirths of the sun can be referred to as the daily rebirth, the solstice rebirth and the galactic rebirth. A triple rebirth of the sun occurs in the year 2012 when all three rebirths happen on the same calendar day.

By the way, the solstice rebirth happens once every tropical year and the galactic rebirth happens once every sidereal year. A sidereal year is about 20 minutes longer than a tropical year and this difference is caused by the slow wobble of the earth's axis. This is what causes these two rebirths to come together in 2012.

On December 21, 2012, the sun will appear to cross both the middle of the dark rift and the galactic equator. Throughout the year, due to the orbit of the earth around the sun, from the viewpoint of earth, the sun appears to be continuously moving slowly against the background stars and it is this apparent motion that creates a visual illusion of the sun crossing the galactic equator since the galactic equator is part of the fixed background of the stars.

This crossing takes about 15 hours and the midpoint of the crossing is a perfect alignment of the earth, the sun and the galactic equator. Again, if we could push a button and make it so that we could see both the sun and the stars during this time, we would see the sun appear to cross the galactic equator very near the middle of the dark rift of the Milky Way. Please note that from the viewpoint of the Maya, both the background stars containing the galactic equator and the sun appear to move in the sky from left to right due to the spinning of the earth. But the apparent motion of the sun is not as fast as the background stars due to the counteracting effect of the orbit of the earth around the sun. This results in the sun moving from right to left against the background stars and this makes the sun appear to cross the galactic equator. Let's take a look.

This website goes into great detail of how the day was accurately predicted over 2000 years ago if you are interested in more information.

What ever you are doing tomorrow take some time out of your day to set your intention for the future and exactly how and why you would like to take part in life as you choose. This is a great time of shift and change when pure energy sweeps through the cosmos down the corridor from the central sun and onto the planet, there will be great calmness which will go beyond the events unfolding  for those who open their hearts and receive that which is pure love, light and knowing. 

I will be sitting in sacred space within myself infusing any insights I receive and blending the wisdom of the ancients into my future manifestation of how I wish to live, creating a bubble of love to live within and around me, encircling all those with whom I share a common life path and bond. 

It is important at this time to connect with the planet; with the elements of earth, fire, air and water, meditation is a wonderful way to do this. Sit outside facing the east the place of the rising sun, if possible do this at sunrise but any time will suffice. Using clear intention to connect with the 4 directions and the sacred elements which comprise our world, this will clear and transmute the energies of your body, just as our ancients ones did before us a means of transformation, letting go of the energies which are trapped within our cells and chakra system rising our vibration. Taping into the wealth of knowledge and creative opportunity that is anchored in the earth/Gaia, they are locked in the fields based in the elements of water, earth, fire, air and spirit and you can unlock them and awaken them into your body and emerge fuller, freer and filled with life. Doing this with joy and gratitude as you are safely held in her arms as you ascend. So much inspiration and upliftment comes through your spiritual practice now!

Goddesses of Crete

The famous quotation by Heraklion born author of "Zorba the Greek", Nikos Kazantzakis, which is repeated innumerably in hotels' advertisements, captures the essence of Crete:

Photo Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_civilization

"Crete's mystery is extremely deep. Whoever sets foot on this island senses a mysterious force branching warmly and beneficently through his veins, senses his soul begin to grow."

The "Snake Goddess" is today regarded as a particularly important manifestation of Minoan religion, art, and society. Crete's wealth of archaeological heritage and Minoan history, its dramatic ending in the times of earthquakes, volcano eruptions and Mycenaean attacks, bronze age clay statuettes of "worshippers in ceremonial postures" in the Heraklion Archaeological Museum all add to the wonder of Crete.

Goddess statues found in the museum.

Famous faïence bare-breasted and proud Snake Goddesses or colourful and fine-detailed depictions of Minoan life can be seen in this "palace frescoes".

The goddess a prevailing and beloved deity of the Minoans, as a priestess, as life giver, as the Lady of Nature and Animals, as receiver of worship of "adorants". She was nature embodied herself. Caves were (and of course still are) her wombs - and tombs, where death was probably seen as a meaningful transition of the soul into the afterlife. The ancient groves of sacred trees her original temples, twin-peaked mountains often related to the axis of some of the Palaces (like Youchtas for Knossos or Idi for Festos) her nurturing breasts. The mythical labyrinth, an allegory of Crete's multitude of caverns reflected then in the palace complexes, being perhaps the analogy of the sinuous interior of female body as well as the meandering, nonlinear nature of the Life's Mystery. She stood for reverence for life - in all its wild beauty and natural processes and passion for self expression. She reminds us of the sacredness and uniqueness of our day-to-day experience amongst human beings, animals, natural world, with its rhythms, birth, life cycles and transitions, death, its emotions, creativity and unknown mystery. She births all creation from within herself, and then she nurtures what she birthed, throughout its cycles, to finally take it back into her comforting body when its journey is over - humans, plants, thoughts, cultures, galaxies. The nature of the Goddess is growth, movement and transformation...interlaced with periods of dissolution, gestation and regeneration...and acceptance and understanding of these as part of life. Ancient cretan people left us a wealth of record of her many forms and expressions.

M. Gimbutas said "The main theme of Goddess symbolism is the mystery of birth and death and the renewal of life, not only human but all life on earth and indeed in cosmos. Symbols and images cluster around the parthenogenetic (self-regenerating) Goddess and her basic functions as Giver of Life, Wielder of Death, and, not less importantly, as regeneratrix, and around the Earth Mother, the Fertility Goddess young and old, rising and dying with plant life. She was the single source of life who took her energy from the springs and wells, from the sun, moon and moist earth. This symbolic system represents cyclical, not liner, mythical time. In art this is manifested by the signs of dynamic motion: whirling and twisting spirals, winding and coiling snakes, circles, crescents, horns, sprouting seeds and shoots. The snake was a symbol of life energy and regeneration, a most benevolent, not an evil, creature. Even the colours had different meaning than in the Indo-European symbolic system. Black did not mean death or the underworld; it was the colour of fertility, the colour of damp caves and rich soil, of the womb of the Goddess where the life begins..."

The website http://inanna.virtualave.net/snakegoddess.html offers the following information.

The most apparent characteristic of Minoan religion was that it was polytheistic and matriarchal, that is, a goddess religion; the gods were all female, not a single male god has been identified until later periods.
It is not easy to describe the nature of the mother-goddess of Crete. There are numerous representations of goddesses, which leads to the conclusion that the Cretans were polytheistic, while others argue that these represent manifestations of the one goddess.

In Crete women played an important if not dominant role: They served as priestesses, as functionaries and administrators.

They also participated in all the sports that Cretan males participated in. The most popular sports in Crete were incredibly violent and dangerous: boxing and bull-jumping. In bull-jumping, as near as we can tell from the representations of it, a bull would charge headlong into a line of jumpers. Each jumper, when the bull was right on top of them, would grab the horns of the bull and vault over the bull in a somersault to land feet first behind the bull. All the representations of this sport show young women participating as well as men.

Photo Source http://inanna.virtualave.net/snakegoddess.html

Women also seem to have participated in every occupation and trade available to men. The rapid growth of industry on Crete included skilled craftswomen and entrepreneurs, and the large, top-heavy bureaucracy and priesthood seems to have been equally staffed with women. In fact, the priesthood was dominated by women. Although the palace kings were male, the society itself does not seem to have been patriarchal.

Evidence from Cretan-derived settlements on Asia Minor suggest that Cretan society was matrilineal, that is, kinship descent was reckoned through the mother.

Since their are only ruins and other remains from Minoan culture, we can only guess at their religious practices.

There are no scriptures, no prayers, no books of ritual; all we have are objects and fragments all of which only hint at a rich and complex religious life and symbolic system behind their broken exteriors.

The Cretans do not seem to have evolved either gender inequality nor adapted their religion to a male-centred universe. The legacy of the goddess religion seems to still be alive today. Both Greece and Crete are Greek Orthodox Christian. In Greece, however, only women regularly swear by the name of the Virgin Mary, while in Crete both men and women swear by her name, particularly the epithet, "Panagia," or "All-Holy."

It is somewhat surprising that none of the goddesses which are generally considered to be "old Aegean powers" as various forms of Mother Goddess (e.g. Demeter, Aphrodite, Artemis, Hekate, Britomartis) are found mentioned in later Mycenaean texts.

There is no figure which can be convincingly connected with the dove or snake goddesses familiar to us from Minoan art, nor is there any mention on the religious tablets of bulls, horns of consecration, double axes, or other common objects of Minoan cult apparatus. Part of the reason for this must be that the remaining texts are products of Mycenaean rule at Knossos, and Minoan cult may have been partially suppressed by the official religion of the invading Greek rulers.

It's difficult to assess the nature of the mother-goddess of Crete. There are numerous representations of goddesses, which leads to the conclusion that the Cretans were polytheistic, while others argue that these represent manifestations of the one goddess.

Seals are an important source.

There are several goddesses which can be distinguish, though. The first one we call "The Lady of the Beasts," or the "Huntress"; this goddess is represented as mastering or overcoming animals. In a later incarnation, she becomes "The Mountain Mother," who is standing on a mountain and apparently protects the animals and the natural world.

The most popular goddess seems to be the "Snake Goddess," who has snakes entwined on her body or in her hands. Since the figurine is only found in houses and in small shrines in the palaces, we believe that she is some sort of domestic goddess or goddess of the house (a kind of guardian angel–in many regions of the world, including Greece, the household snake is worshipped and fed as a domestic guardian angel).

Represented by the MM III "Snake Goddesses" of the Temple Repositories at Knossos as well as by some of the later bell-shaped terracotta figurines of the LM III period, this particular goddess is usually considered to be a household divinity and interestingly does not appear on seals.

But the household goddess also seems to have taken the form of a small bird, for numerous shrines are oriented around a dove-like figure. Most scholars believe that the principle female goddesses of Greek religions, such as Hera, Artemis, and so on, ultimately derive from the Minoan goddesses.

Photo Sorce http://inanna.virtualave.net/snakegoddess.html

The head of the Minoan pantheon seems to have been an all-powerful goddess which ruled everything in the universe. This deity was a mother deity, that is, her relationship to the world was as mother to offspring.

Mistress of Animals (or of the Mountain)
A famous seal impression from Knossos shows a female figure holding a staff and standing on top of a cairn or rocky hill. She is flanked by antithetic lions, beyond which are a shrine on one side and a saluting male on the other. A second seal from Knossos shows a capped female with a staff walking next to a lion, another pose of the same Mistress of Animals figure.

Goddess of Vegetation
Dominating female figures on a number of seals are often identified as deities.

Double Axe:
Some large bronze examples of this, the most common of all Minoan religious symbols, were clearly used as tools, but miniature specimens in unsuitable and sometimes precious materials (e.g. gold, silver, lead, steatite, terracotta), as well as very fragile bronze examples (e.g. the gigantic specimens from Nirou Khani), must have had a purely symbolic function.

Photo Sorce http://inanna.virtualave.net/snakegoddess.html

"Horns of Consecration":
These occur both as three-dimensional objects of stone or terracotta, often stuccoed, and as painted or sculpted representations on murals, altars, vases, seals, and larnakes. Typically they serve either as stands for a narrow range of other cult implements or as architectural crowning members on both altars and roofs. The original significance of the "horns" is uncertain. It has been suggested that they are stylized bulls' horns, a symbol of the moon's crescent.

Birds, Bulls, Agrimia, and Snakes:

Birds appear frequently in religious scenes and are usually identified as "divine epiphanies", that is, as manifestations of divine beings , although in some cases they appear to be an identifying attribute of a divinity rather than an alternative form of one. Other frequently occurring animals are bulls, agrimia (Cretan ibexes), and snakes. The first two often occur in the form of votive figurines and probably figured importantly as sacrificial animals.

The Snake may have been a prominent symbol in earth (or chthonic) cults, just as birds may have been in sky (or atmospheric) cults.

Mentioned are a pot of honey, spices such as fennel and coriander, and jugs of oil. Wool, cheese, barley, and wine are possible offerings. Sheep are connected with the figure of Potnia, but not as offerings.

Human Sacrifice
This type of offering is unique and has led to much speculation. It is known that there were such things as "slaves of the god". Consequently, most authorities have seen here the consecration of certain men and women to the service of a deity. However, other specialists argue that the offerings made are extraordinary because they were made for the specific purpose of saving the palace just before it was actually destroyed. The suggestion has therefore been made that the human beings mentioned as offerings were in fact human sacrifices.

Kernoi: These are simply ceramic vessels with multiple receptacles of the same shape, where such offerings as wine, oil, graine etc. could be laid.

The Minoans particularly worshipped trees, pillars (sacred stones), and springs. The priesthood seems to have been almost entirely if not totally female, although there's evidence (precious little evidence) that the palace kings had some religious functions as well.

Caves were first used in Crete as dwellings or at least as habitation sites in the Neolithic period. Toward the end of the Neolithic, they also began to be used extensively as cemeteries, and such usage continued throughout the Early Minoan period and in some areas even longer.

Cave of Psycho

Caves appear to have first been used as cult places early in the Middle Minoan (Protopalatial) period, at more or less the same time when the first Cretan palaces were being constructed. There may very well be some connection between the establishment of powerful central authorities in the palaces and the institution of worship in caves. The evidence for the use of caves as cult places consists of pottery, animal figurines, and occasionally bronze objects. Such objects are found not only in caves which had previously served habitation or funerary purposes but also in caves which had as their earliest known function the housing of some religious activity. In addition to artefacts some cult caves contain large quantities of animal bones, mostly from deer, oxen, and goats and no doubt derived from some form of animal sacrifice.

One of the better known cult caves is the "Cave Of Eileithyia" near Amnisos, associated with the divinity Eileithyia on the basis of a reference in Homer'sOdyssey. This cave is some 60 m. long, between 9 and 12 m. wide, and 2 to 3 m. high. Near the middle of the cave is a cylindrical stalagmite ca. 1.40 m. high which is enclosed by a roughly built wall 0.45 m. high. Within the enclosure and in front of the stalagmite is a roughly square stone, perhaps some form of altar.

Photo Sorce http://inanna.virtualave.net

Peak Sanctuaries
These are cult centres located at, or just below, the tops of prominent local hills, not necessarily "peaks" on true "mountains". Such sites are characterized by deep layers of ash (without animal bones, hence interpreted as the remains of bonfires and not of blood sacrifices of some kind) and by large quantities of clay human and animal figurines.

Like the cult caves discussed above, the earliest peak sanctuaries date from the MM I period and most of the two dozen or more confirmed examples of such cult locales have produced material of this date. Moreover, the cult caves and peak sanctuaries are virtually the only sites other than the palaces themselves to have produced certain artefactual types.

Moreover, the large numbers of animal figurines found at the peak sanctuaries obviously cannot be explained in the same way, although these may have served as substitutes for genuine sacrificial animals or as votive pledges that such animals would be sacrificed elsewhere at some other time, since blood sacrifice does not seem to have been an acceptable practice at peak sanctuaries.

The two major peak sanctuaries so far excavated and published are Petsofa in eastern Crete (elevation 215 m.; serving the town of Palaikastro) and Iuktas(elevation 811 m.; just south of and hence presumably serving Knossos).

In MM III, an imposing building was constructed on Mt. Iuktas consisting of three parallel terraces, oriented north-south, of which the upper two at the west were approached by an east-west ramp at the south.

At Petsofa, a three-room building was first erected in MM III, again a long time after the sanctuary was first used. It is quite possible that these peak sanctuaries were visited only on special religious holidays, much as similar mountaintop chapels are today in Greece, since in many cases the sanctuaries are too remotely located to have served daily religious purposes.

Shrine of the Double Axes at Knossos
Bench sanctuary located in the southeast quarter of the palace at Knossos. This tiny (1.5 m. x 1.5 m.) shrine was abandoned with its religious furniture in situ and is thus extremely valuable as a source for our understanding of Minoan religion at least toward the end of the Bronze Age. The room's floor area is divided into three sections at different levels. In the front (lowest) part lie several large vases. In the middle area, a tripod "table of offerings" is embedded in the floor, and to either side of it are groups of small jugs and cups. At the back of the room is a raised bench ca. 0.60 m. high on which are fixed two stuccoed clay "horns of consecration". In each case, between the "horns" is a round socket, presumably to hold a double axe such as the small one of steatite found resting against the left-hand pair of "horns".

Between the two pairs of "horns" were found a bell-shaped female figurine and a smaller female statuette of Neolithic type, perhaps a treasured heirloom. To the left of the left-hand pair of "horns" was a male figurine holding out a dove, while to the right of the right-hand pair were two more bell-shaped female figurines, one with a bird perched on her head. The last is often considered to be a goddess while the remaining figures are identified as votaries.

Throne Room Complex West of Central Court at Knossos

Located near the northeast corner of the west wing of the Knossian palace, the "Throne Room" proper is part of a larger four- or five-room block which was apparently devoted first and foremost to cult rather than to the display or exercising of political authority.

The following website http://www.goddessalive.co.uk gives us many goddesses worshipped on Crete.

Amalthea
The Cretan goat goddess who suckled the infant Zeus when Rhea was hiding him from Chronos. She may have also been wet-nurse to Pan.

Ariadne
Consort of Minos, who much like Persephone spent half the year in the Underworld

Assassara

On one text from neo-Palatial period (1700-1450 BCE) the name of a Goddess Assassara has been deciphered, which makes her the earliest, and probably the least-known, of any Minoan Goddess. 

Carme
(Charmel, Carmenta) The goddess of Mount Ida, inventor of the alphabet, language and augery. Her name refers to kindness and charms (spells), and she was concerned with prophecy.

Britomartis
("good maiden") A youthful hunter, often depicted with arrows, suckling babes or holding snakes. Sometimes seen as a chthonic figure (associated with Hecate), she is a guardian of the dead who was sometimes seen by sailors as a mermaid. Like Hera, she was associated with the lily or lotus flower. Britomartis was also worshipped on Aegina and in Sparta under her titles, Aphaea and Laphria. The Spartans adored both her and Artemis as Ladies of the Lake.

Dictynna
The law-giving labrys Goddess of Crete and Mount Dicte, she is neither naked nor clad, and lines of force surround Her. Double axes, or labryses, represent her active Feminine Energy. Worshippers, in the original palace fresco, throw their arms up in amazement at her appearance. The labrys is also a symbol of the female community of Lesbos who worshipped only the Goddess in nature and in each other. The original "She who must be obeyed," Dictynna lived on top of Mount Dicta. Her powerful name lives on in our words "dictate" and "edict." Her sacred plant was dittany.

Eileithyia
The Goddess Eileithyia dates from neo-Palatial period (1700-1450 BCE) her name is not Indo-European in form. She was the matron Goddess of childbirth, and caves dedicated to her can be found at Amnisos in the north and Inatos in the south of the island.

Rhea
Aegean Universal Mother, Great Goddess, Pre-Hellenic Great Mother Goddess. Also known as Britomartis, Great Goddess of Bronze Age Crete and the Aegean Islands. Great Mother. She had no consort and ruled supreme before the coming of patriotic Hellenic invaders. Archetypal Triple Goddess. Britomartis, the Sweet Virgin, Dictynna, the Lawgiving Mother and Aegea, the foundress of Aegean civilization. aka Coronis. Pre-Roman Latium knew Her as Rhea Silvia, Rhea of the Woodland, under Whose rule, the Vestal Virgins were neither celibate nuns, nor servants of the state, as they became in later ages. They were choosers and deposers of the early Latin kings, a college of matronae who ruled the rulers and took no husbands. Her children were cared for by Acca Larentia - the Holy Harlot or High Priestess.

Snake Goddess

The Snake Goddesses were created during the Middle Minoan period, perhaps in 1700 BC. Two figurines were found they are similar, but have different arm gestures.

One figurine shows a woman in unusual dress with overlapping flounces, but her breasts are bared. On her head, she wears a hat, with a sitting cat on top. She is also holding up two small snakes, one in each hand, which reminds us of the Bronze Age goddess known as the Mistress of Animals (Potnia theron), holding a wild animal in each hand, often lion, stag, and bird.

A snake can bring swift death with their poison, she can be seen as the goddess of death or of the dead. Snakes, as well as the cat, can also symbolise the afterlife. On the hand, snake can also symbolise life, because snakes are often associated with healing.

Adding the cat with the snakes, the figurine may depict goddess of sexuality or fertility. Her sexual attributes were emphasized with the exposure of her full, rounded breasts. This may indicated that she is a mother goddess.

The second figure of the Snake Goddess is a slightly taller figurine, wears a different type of dress, but like the first one I had mentioned before, her breasts is exposed. The 2nd figurine wears a very tall hat.

This figure has a very long snake, with its head in her right hand. The snake entwined up her right arm, over her shoulder, down one side of her back, then across her buttocks; then up the other side of her back, over her left shoulder, and entwined her around her left arm, with its tail in her left hand.

The head of the second snake is found on top of her hat. Following its long body down the hat, in front of the woman's left ear, curving around the outside of her left breast, before continuing down until below her waist, across her belly, and back up the right side of woman's body. The snake's tail ends up looping around the woman's right ear.

Sea Goddesses

If we move forward from the Linear tablets to the written material of the Hellenic period, there are a number of little-known Goddesses from Greece in general and Crete in particular. The Greeks had many sea Goddesses, from Aphrodite who rose out of the waves, to Eurynome, who with Tethys and Thetis, were a trinity of sea and creation Goddesses. Another sea Goddess with a pre-Greek name was Amphitrite, whom Homer said was the manifestation of the ocean itself. She dwelt in caves under the sea, from where she emerged to tend her fish and mammals of the deep. She was eventually replaced by the male sea God Poseidon, but is certainly much older than him. A similar fate happened to the Minoan Goddess Britomartis, also known as Diktyna, who was extensively worshipped throughout Crete. Her later written story encodes the usurpation of native Greek Goddesses by the invading Hellenic peoples. In the story, she was pursued by King Minos, who chased her for nine months throughout the island, until she flung herself from a remote cliff at the far end of the Rodopos peninsula in north-west Crete. Here she was caught in nets by fishermen, nets that she herself had invented as a gift to humanity. She later became assimilated into the Goddess Artemis, and became a hunter, rather than a hunted, Goddess.

Moon Goddesses
Artemis was also a moon Goddess, but there was an actual family tree of Moon Goddesses, celebrated in Greek and Cretan mythology:

Telephassa (meaning “one who shines from afar”) was the mother of Europa (meaning “with broad shining forehead”). Europa was mother-in-law of Pasiphae (meaning “she who shines on all”). In one tradition Pasiphae is identified with the nymph Krete who gave her name to the island, and in another Pasiphae coupled with the bull, and gave birth to the Minator. Her name eventually became a cult epithet of the Goddess Artemis.

Other moon Goddesses were Phaidra (“she who shines”), the grandaughter of Europa, and Aerope (“she who shines in the air”) the great grandaughter of Europa.

Finally, it has been suggested that the Goddess Demeter had strong links to Crete, and was a descendant of the Minoan Great Goddess. She was associated with the town of Gortyn, where she consummated her love to Iasion ‘in a thrice ploughed field’. In the Homeric hymn, the Goddess herself tells how she came to Eleusis (where the Eleusian Mysteries were celebrated) from Crete. Crete was obviously the centre of many cults of the Goddess, who manifested in different places under different names.

From post-Palatial period comes an offering made to da-puz-ri-to-jo po-ti-ni-ja which translates as Labyrinthos Potnia, meaning “The Lady of the Labyrinth”. This is a fascinating designation, linking as it does the labyrinth to the site of Knossos. The name Potnia comes up time and time again, not just in Crete but throughout the Mycenean world. Although it only means “The Lady”, it is clearly the name or title of the Goddess, Potnia was probably one Goddess “worshipped at a number of places under various forms”.

Other named deities or aspects of the deity, who are given offerings and tributes on the tablets, and who may be translated as Goddesses are as follows:

po-ti-ni-ja-we-jo/ja = Potnia Aphrodite (?)

a-ta-na-po-ti-ni-ja = Lady of Athana (?)

e-re-u-ti-ja = Eileithyia (the entry links her to the cave of Amnisos, and she receives a wealth of offerings, including wool and honey).

e-ri-nu = translates as ‘Erinys’ which became an epithet for the Goddess Demeter

pi-pi-tu-na = Pipituna, an unknown moon Goddess.

a-pe-ti-ra = this name has been translated as ‘bow goddess’, which may be an earlier form of Artemis

qe-ra-si-ja = this has been translated in various ways, one of which is “the huntress”, which again would make her an Artemis figure.

a-ne-mo = this has been translated as “the Priestess of the Winds”, though it is not known if the Winds were Goddesses.

12-12-12

As we experience our life at 12.12pm today I hope you take the opportunity to do what you are drawn to do whether it is sit quietly and contemplate the rest of your life, meditate and add to the global consciousness that others will be sending out into the world etc I have come to understand that today is the start of  what will be happening on 21-12-12 and without today these happenings would not take place. Just honour yourself in the way that is right for you. Blessings.

The Ancient Mayan calendar speaks of 12-12-2012 as the end of times as we know it, and the beginning of a new cycle of evolution for planet earth, humanity and the cosmos. Mayan elders say that the Ancients were informing the modern world to be ready for a giant transformation for the human race. Interestingly, traditions across the world including Buddhism, Tao, Hopi and Vedic knowledge predict a ‘Golden Age’ or ‘Satyug’ in their calendars around the same period. December 2012 is being looked upon as a significant spiritual event and a momentous shift in the collective consciousness of the planet.

12-12-12 is a beautiful opportunity for transformation and healing on a personal and global level. We are invited to allow the supportive energies of Mother Earth to open our hearts and be ready for expansion. Sow seeds of love that are in harmony with the frequency of Mother Earth. Say yes to aligning our hearts to the heartbeat of the planet so that we may be joyfully lifted as the Earth lifts in her awakening. Come ready to step into the Age of Peace, Love and Brotherhood!

This is a one-time event in our lifetime and the Earth’s history as our planet enters galactic alignment with the Great central Sun. The Great Central Sun is a Source and a Centre of the All-Pervading Presence of the Great "I AM". It is a Point of Integration of the Spirit/Matter Cosmos, and an Central Concentration of God Consciousness and the release of Light and Life and Love to all creation. It is a Nucleus, Heart Center, or White Fire Core of the Cosmos.

Chichen Itza from Yucatec "at the mouth of the well of the Itza") was a large pre Columbian city built by the Maya civilization. Chichen Itza was a major focal point in the northern Maya lowlands from the Late Classic (c.600–900 AD) through the Terminal Classic (c.800–900) and into the early portion of the Early Postclassic period (c.900–1200). The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico and of the Puuc and Chenes styles of the northern Maya lowlands.

Chichen Itza was one of the largest Maya cities and it was likely to have been one of the mythical great cities, or Tollans, referred to in later Mesoamerican literature. The city may have had the most diverse population in the Maya world, a factor that could have contributed to the variety of architectural styles at the site. The Maya name "Chichen Itza" means "At the mouth of the well of the Itza." This derives from chi', meaning "mouth" or "edge", and ch'en or ch'e'en, meaning "well." Itzá is the name of an ethnic-lineage group that gained political and economic dominance of the northern peninsula. One possible translation for Itza is "enchanter (or enchantment) of the water", from its, "sorcerer", and ha, "water".

“Chichen Itza, a transcendent of the great Mayan soul, a transcendent of the human soul”.  The Great Pyramid, The Ball Park, The Observatory, The Monk Convent, and The Water Well are just a few of the magnificent buildings on the and site. The Mayas became the most powerful civilization in the area, we still don’t know for sure how, why or when they ceased to exist.

Today many people from all over the world will gather at this site in meditation that aligns us with the heart chakra of Mother Earth. In this way, they will calibrate their frequency to the Earth’s frequency to bring about harmony. Thousands of colorfully dressed Yucatec Maya will come from far and near to celebrate this special event with the assembled crowds who will be sharing their spiritual input with all who are present.

December 12, 2012, or 12/12/12, is the last date for the next 88 years when every number will be the same. At 12:12 a.m. and p.m. there will be five repeats of the number, six if you care to watch the clock tick until it reaches 12 seconds.

At the harmonic gateway, this year, 12-12-12 expect nothing less than the summation of everything that has come before. Make the leap that will give you unlimited access to the life and the love that you deserve. Energy will be available for you to receive through your energetic field and into your cells through sacred opening, these transformations have the ability to profoundly affect the spiritual life of each individual. As our spiritual life forms the psychic template for our material life, the effects of vibrational transformation extend into every corner of our individual existence!

"Mars is 12 light minutes from the Sun, the average temperature of the Earth is 12 degrees Celsius, and Jupiter takes 12 years to orbit the Sun,"

Globally for 12 Minutes today on the 12-12-12 Focus on Harmony – Peace Love & Highest Good this is the intent of Dr. Orme-Johnson on http://the2012scenario.com/2012/12/global-meditation-on-121212/

The remarkable findings show that large groups of peace-creating meditation experts decrease international conflicts, including deaths and injuries due to terrorism. A study reports that group practice of the Group Meditation by 7,000 people decreased terrorism and international conflicts worldwide.

On three different occasions during 1995, groups of approximately 7,000 meditators were formed for focal unified meditations from groups all over the world. The groups were asked meditate and focus on love, harmony and peace. To bath the world in love.

The results were astounding.

The effects were studied using terrorism data collected completely independently by the Rand Corporation, the prestigious & renowned California think tank. Five days after the group mediation, data showed that violence and criminal activities in the world calmed down. Results were scientifically compiled in a tedious 9 month review.

The study also found that warfare due to national and international conflicts decreased by approximately 30%. Assessment of the effects on warfare came from reports appearing in the New York Times and London Times.

It Only Takes A Few to Change the World

The formula from the Maharishi University predicts that the square root of 1% of the world population meditating together is all that would be needed to create a worldwide effect. That number was approximately 7,000 at the time of the study of focus on world peace”, said Dr. David Orme-Johnson of Maharishi University of Management. We found that the effect could not be explained by any trends or cycles in the data, or by the time of year or other factors. Nothing else was happening that could have explained the sudden drop in armed conflicts throughout the world at that time,” said the study’s co-author, Dr. Michael Dillbeck, also of Maharishi University of Management

Unified Higher Mind Can Change Reality

According to the researchers, Unified deep meditation programs take the mind to its innermost state of silence, which is the unified field of natural law, the source of order in the universe.

Mind can change reality ! Especially when groups meditate together toward a common positive goal.

When enough people in society experience this level of awareness, then the coherence of the unified field is spread throughout the world, softening ancient ethnic, political, and economic stresses that are at the basis of war.

“Fifty studies have shown that the influence of Group Meditation on the larger society can replace crime, hostility and fighting with mutual respect and cooperation,” said Dr. Orme-Johnson.

Pinnacle Mountain Arkansas

For those of you who are interested this is a very lengthy channelled teaching by Metatron you can find the  article and previous channellings  at http://shiftfrequency.com/james-tyberonn-12-12-12-the-pinnacle-of-the-ascension/ It is very interesting covering the concept of earth crystals aligning and sound waves, it also covers certain structures such a pyramids etc all tied together with the Atlantean Colony. I have not heard of this before and found in reading it helped me to understand more about the alignments happening today.

Showing where Arkansas is in the USA

Greetings Masters ! I am Metatron, Lord of Light and I embrace you in a vector of Unconditional Love. A Love that you will soon be able to experience more vividly for the Ascension is nigh. We are joined in this channel by Ra-Tybronn of the Pleiades, an Ascended Master of Crystalline Service, the root oversoul of the channel, who experienced service to the planet among the Law of One. Ra-Tybronn is of the Family of Thoth & Enoch. Both of Metatronic source.

We ask you to take a moment and allow our energy and love to nurture you, for we are family. We love you so very dearly, in ways that are above emotion, in a love that is omnipotent and flows from Creative Source, of All That Is…of which Divinity you are an intricate member. Each of you!

It is a time of quickening on your planet, and for some of you it feels hard at times, but we assure you that in higher aspect, you are dancing in joy. For the Ascension is nigh and you, Dear Human, made it happen. We honor you!

Dear Ones, that you term the Ascension can be defined as the transition to Crystalline dimensional expansion. The final completions within the Crystal Vortex of Arkansas are extremely important to the Crystalline Transition of the Earth. And the crystalline transition is tantamount to the 2012 Ascension. On the 12-12-12 the Crystallization of the planet will complete.

In a very real sense what occurs on the 12-12-12 is the Ascension, and what takes place on December 21, 2012 is the Initial Birthing Solstice of the New Earth. That is because the ‘mechanics’ of the actual ascending process (that enables the Ascension) occurs on the 12-12-12.

Accordingly it is what happens on December 12, 2012 that finalizes the activations and network-connections of all the Master Crystals, Crystalline Fields, Grid Points, Power Nodes, & Vortexial-Portal Sites to the Crysto-Sun Disc and 144 Grid.

On the 12-12-12, for the first time, all of these crucial aspects combine, network and tie into the completed 144 Crystalline Grid. At precisely 12:12 pm from the Crystal Vortex, will the ascending energy merge and be tangibly felt. All will tie initially into the Crysto Sun Disc of Pinnacle Mountain located in the largest strata of Crystal on your planet, and then connect to the grid.

We have told you before that the Ascension, the ‘New Earth’ is the expansion of your planet’s resonance into 12 dimensional fields. We have told you that the Ascension is purposed to expand the Earth and Humanity beyond the 3rd dimension, and burgeon into 12 dimensions. …the 5th thru 12th of which are in nonpolarity, zero point Crystalline Energy & integral One-ness. And that is the crystalline frequency.

It occurs in the Crystal Vortex of the ARK because it is not only the largest strata of Quartz Crystal on your Earth, but also because it is composed of ‘seeded, coded’ & specifically placed ‘Master Crystals’ within a very unique geological matrix. There is logic in this you see. There is a master design taking place, and it makes sense ! You have indeed been here before, and it feels right, does it not?

Kryon the Magnetic Master channelled to you a decade ago that evidence of Atlantis was in Arkansas. The mineralogical blend, the energetic cocktail that occurs in this area is extremely rare and it produces benefits and phenomena that your science does not yet recognize. We will say that the combined presence of crystal quartz, diamonds, radium waters, magnetic lodestone and gravitational anomalies is why the Law of One Atlanteans were in Arkansas. It is why the Crysto-Sun Disc is in Arkansas. Arkansas is the crystal-generator on the earthplane that opens the dimensional gates !

No place on the planet will vibrate with the incredible crystalline resonance on the 12-12-12 Ascension as powerfully as the Crystal Vortex. For we tell you the Atlantean Colony that Kryon spoke of in Arkansas was composed of the Atla-Ra, the Law of One, and they were there in what is now called Arkansas over 50,000 years ago planting the seeds and codes for the 12-12-12. They were there eons ago in an energy of 12 dimensions. In an energy of love and nurturing … and that energy is being turned back on.
Epi-Centre of the Ascension

So it is logical, is it not, that the Crystal Vortex is the Epi-Centre Heart of the Ascension on the 12-12-12.

Masters, 2012 is just the beginning for the crystalline energy is amazingly robust and effusively dynamic. This benevolent energy is indeed a force of omnipotent ubiquity that has not been seen on the planet in many millennia. It is a powerful combination of telluric, hyper-dimensional and cosmic forces that are capable of shaking the earth and opening dimensions. It is also capable of up shifting your frequency. All of these are in fact occurring, and exponentially so, as there are dynamics of crysto-magnetic physics at play that are beyond your current scientific comprehension. It’s less than 6 months away!

Sacred Contacts

That is one of several reasons why so many of you will be drawn to Arkansas for the final Triple Date Portal gathering, the 12-12-12. For those of the Atlantean Law of One, the completion is part of a sacred oath that the Crystalline Energy would one day return…and never again be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. Presence in the Crystal Vortex for many is a soul contract, and many of the Law of One will feel & answer that call. We will also tell you that several of the featured speakers at the 12-12-12 including John Van Auken, Graham Hancock, Dr Semir Osmanagich, Tyberonn and John Jenkins were highly esteemed senior members of the Atlantean scientist priest, the Atla-Ra of the Law of One.

All of their presence will add an immediately recognizable energy of sacred ‘reunion’, and that will be sensed and felt among all of the Atlanteans of the spiritual Law of One. And indeed several of these will be meeting for the first time, and will share the cognition very deeply. All who gather will feel a sense of exuberance, the magical knowing that what was promised millennia ago, will finally occur….the re-emergence of the Crystalline Energy.

What will be experienced in the Crystal Gathering in Arkansas will be absolutely unique. At the moment of the triggering, a wave of incredible energy, an energy not felt on the earth for a very very long time, will sweep through the Crystal Vortex. It is what may be termed a standing wave. It will feel like ‘home’ to many of you, and you will weep in joy and recognition. At that instant the earth will shift into 12 dimensions. At that moment the 144 Grid will be fully completed…and we assure you, it is an energy you have never experienced in this lifetime. The 12:12 pm Trigger on the 12-12-12 will be the moment of the Planetary Ascension! It’s initial surge on the Earth will be at Mount Pinnacle.

Arkansas Was an Atlantean Colony

The Magnetic Master, Kryon, channeled a decade ago, that evidence of Atlantis is indeed in Arkansas.

Arkansas, because of its crystal deposits was logically and absolutely an Atlantean colony. Crystals were seeded, programmed and coded. There remains in the vast chasms below the surface of Arkansas, ancient structures of the Atlantean era. These include a network of incredible tunnels, the remnants of a vast laboratory complex and what may be termed a hyper dimensional transport station. The latter of these is still maintained by the Sirian-Pleiadean Alliance.

There are also ancient housing structures, some of which remain inhabited by what is termed the ‘blue-skinned’ race.

Activation of the Fire-Crystal & Crystal of Thoth

On the 12-12-12, the two remaining dormant Master Atlantean Crystals will awaken. The Crystal of Thoth and the Ruby Fire Crystal. The former of which is located near Tiahuanaco, Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, the latter below Bimini.

The Crystal of Thoth is a very benevolent crystal of Arcturian construct that was utilized as what may be termed a balancing generator of harmonic geo codes. It was used in Atlantis in somewhat of a medical application in the balancing of the Etheric to Physical Body. It could be used to reduce or increase the specific density of the physical body. It could be regulated to differing frequencies capable of creating fields and complex standing waves for stimulating health, well being, chakric balancing and mental activity.

The Ruby Fire Crystal or Tuaoi is a far more complex design and much larger crystal. Unlike the other 8 Temple Crystals, the Tuaoi was not utilized in what may be spiritual purpose. It was originally utilized for the creation of the underground tunnels used for hyper dimensional travel and transport, having the ability to vaporize matter. It was also used for deflection in the earlier days of first Atlantis to deflect asteroids. Other versions of such crystals were in fact used in the exact placement of your present moon, having the capability of a ‘tractor beam’.

We will add that the initial surge and awakening of the Tuaoi will be closely monitored and it will not be fully activated for a number of years. Because it was misused in the hands of the Aryan Group for destructive purpose, there is great caution with its opening. The Tuaoi, unlike the other eight, was never relocated; it is in its original placement. It can be said that its purpose was then of the industrial utility. In a manner of speaking, a laser version of the nuclear, capable of being used for positive or negative. A collator, amplifier & generator of unimaginable energy, having purpose indeed, but not of the spiritual in the sense of the Poseidon Temple Crystals. It was retained in a protective dome structure (not a Temple), and activated for utility of energy.

The purpose for its activation is reparation. It will be regulated into balance at minimal function. It will be monitored, such that random erratic releases no longer occur. For the past 12,000 years it has randomly surged ionic bombardment of massive energy waves into the earth’s interior as well as the earth’s magnetosphere creating disturbances in space-time harmonics and imbalances in the gravitational field. The reparation will allow for the stabilization required in the New Earth by preventing damage from its uncontrolled discharges, you see. Uncontrolled these are capable of exacerbating tectonic movement and imbalancing crysto magnetic field harmonics that are necessary for the ongoing dimensional expansion. Do you understand?

In time it will serve great purpose, but only when humanity is of a higher vibration. It is not a living conscious crystal in the sense of the Temple Crystals. The Tuaoi is inlaid with circuitry, and is more akin to what may be termed programmed intelligence. It will be brought into the network very slowly; the activation is purposed.

Arcturian Crystal Masters

Although the incredible crystals beneath the lands of Arkansas have been dormant for over 14,000 years, we tell you that they are awakening…and within the next 4 decades, after 2038 specifically, Arkansas will be globally recognized for its unusual and brilliant crystalline energy. Many Master souls of the Atla-Ra and indeed Masters of the Sirian-Pleiadean Alliance will purposefully choose to reincarnate in the Crystal Vortex, and in fact have begun doing so now.

These are the Arcturian Crystal Masters, and Arkansas and Brazil are drawing them in the thousands. They are specialist in Crystalline Technology and will innately understand the importance of these two regions, and will thrive within, and play leading roles in the appropriate utilization of these potent energies of the Arkansas and Brazilian Crystal Vortexes. By the 23rd century, magnificent Crystalline Temples will have been built around the Crysto-Sun Disc of Pinnacle Mountain, and the Temple Crystal locations of Mount Maga, Wilhelmina and Eureka Springs. And while 3 centuries may seem a long time to you, it is but a flash from your nonlinear aspect. Indeed many tens of thousands of you of the Law of One, including the channel, will specifically reincarnate in that period, 15 of your generations from now.
Brazilian Crystal Vortex

Now we wish to mention the importance of the Brazilian Crystal Vortex located near Sao Tomas de Letres in Minas Gerais. Indeed it is as important to the southern hemisphere of the planet, as is Arkansas to the northern counterpart. The two representing the most powerful crystal frequency on the earth. Both containing enormous crystal deposits.

The reason the Arkansas Crystal Vortex is considered more influential is because two thirds of the earth’s land, and two thirds of humanity are in the areas above the equator, the northern hemisphere. But be aware that the two Crystal Vortexes, Arkansas and Brazil, are in correlated spin/counter-spin mode, and are necessarily counterbalances for the dissemination of the telluric portion of the crystal frequency.

On the 12-12-12 this alliance will upshift, and the standing waves of energy within both will be amplified exponentially.

So accordingly the activity of the Crystal Vortex will surge on the 12-12-12.

This will increase throughout 2012 and continue to amplify annually until 2038.

Arkansas on the 12-12-12 completion will emerge as one of the most important and powerful vortexial portals on the planet. It is the northern hemisphere source of the crystalline field. In 2012 and forward the crystals will begin emitting a frequency that benevolently interacts with the Human Aura in creating an enhanced gateway of multidimensionality within Mer-Ka-Na. It is the standing wave.
Sound Fields-Crystalline Standing Wave

Long ago the ancient Mystery Schools of Atlantis contained a section of the Atla-Ra that programmed crystals with light & sound frequencies. The Crystals emitted a hertzian vibration field that was extremely beneficial. These were used for balancing the human field, enhancing health, healing disease, and for awakening into higher dimension. Some were also able to open an inter-dimensional channel to other ‘worlds’ and especially to the Divine Self.
Hertzian Fields of Standing Waves

On December 12, the Temple Crystals are initiating a pulsed hertzian field that is capable of living ‘form’. This tangible energy interacts by induction with the human aura, and produces something of an altered state. The benevolent effect is akin to deep chanting, but understand that the waves produced are conscious, living, through the crystalline ‘conscious spirit’ of sound and light.

The living energy is similar to that of an elemental field, but of higher resonance. It is more accurately defined as the consciousness of crystalline color and sound. It is projected from the ‘living’ crystals, you see….an aspect emanation of the crystals themselves.

It is indeed the eventual recognition of this field that will motivate the construction of the Crystal Temples. The effect is myriad and prolific, and will powerfully influence the inner self, the higher emotions, higher harmonics of humanity within its energy reach. It is occurring now, and will progress from the 12-12-12 over the next seven years, forming a standing wave.

This energy is Atlantean Atla-Ra technology and still exists in some of your ancient Temples in Egypt, Peru, Central America, Java, Cambodia and Newgrange in Ireland. All of your ancient Pyramids built to Phi, contained in their original construct such standing waves within specific and relatively narrow hertz bands.
The Crystal Tuning Effect

In a very real sense, the triangulation within the oval vortex of the Arkansas crystalline field will become what you term a crystal bowl. Within the bowl will be similar, somewhat fixed, yet varying pitches or notes in the hertzian wave-range.The differing ‘keys’ are determined by the indigenous mineralogical energies. For example, the area of Magnet Cove will have a differing tonal resonance than that of Crater of Diamonds or the Radium Waters. The same will occur in 2012 around the Crystals of Sound and Regeneration in Brazil, in Bahia and Minas Gerais, respectively.

The crystalline standing wave will axialtonally join Arkansas to Brazil, (initially on the 12-12-12) and then envelop and bathe the planet by 2038. The effect will be the lessening of the ‘arc-swing’ of duality, by bridging the right & left hemispheres of the brain. The standing wave, when combined with meditation, moves through the prefrontal cortex of the brain, stimulates the pineal, and takes one into higher consciousness.

There have always been certain places on the planet that became recognized as sacred. Stone Circles, Temples, Pyramids and Cathedrals were placed in these areas by the ancients. In the last two decades, your academics have been involved in studying ancient monuments, and have credible evidence that certain ancient monumental structures around the Earth have several common features. One of the most compelling is around standing waves. We tell you many of the structures were planned architecturally and designed acoustically to enable specific sound waves and frequencies that affect your energy field. These can indeed stimulate the pineal in humans of sufficient light-quotient and thus enhance multi-dimensional experience. We tell you that it is not simply the structures; indeed the structures are dependent to a large degree on the vector of placement and the mineralogy of the site. In fact, identical structures built in differing locations will have different tonal frequencies if the geological matrix, latitudinal placement and mineralogy differ significantly.
The 144 Grid Completes on 12-12-12

In 2012, on the 12-12-12, the Crystalline Grid completes. The 12 dimensional fields join, with the dimensions 5-12 in crystalline format. As such all crystals on the planet amplify and harmonize. Those of you that work with Phi Crystals will be able to sense a great and greater leap within their energy resonance. Utilization of the Phi Crystal into thought amplification will remarkably increase.

Spiritual Emergence in Crysto-Magnetics

The new emerging Crystal Vortex of Arkansas will be far more powerful and serve a different function than it did in the Atlantean era. This is why the Atlanteans placed the aforementioned three Temple-Crystals in Arkansas before the tsunamis inundated Poseida. The purpose and potency of these Temple-Crystals have created resonance that is far more ‘spiritual’ in aspect and effect. The addition of these three huge natural crystals will add their succinctly specialized conscious programming of knowledge, wisdom, healing and multidimensional awareness. And while their sheer natural attributes are quite capable of shaking the ground and bending the space- time continuum as powerfully as the infamous Fire Crystal beneath the Sargasso Sea in the area of Bimini, their regulation into refinement via the Sun Disc and Pyramidal controls will insure that they are kept in optimal benevolent purpose and balance. The Temple Crystals are alive, and indeed highly evolved, and will benefit the Earth and humanity in ways beyond your imagining.

It is the magnetics of this location in Arkansas, in fact, that has held these crystal energies in dormant hyper-dimensional lock through millennia of tectonic movement and shift. That is precisely why the Atla-Ra specifically selected this area in Arkansas for their storage and seeding. You have no idea of the energy these are capable of generating. You see, it is the use of magnetic energies along with etheric light, light above and below the visible spectrum, light you refer to as ultra violet & gamma, that is used to both subdue and amplify crystals. An etheric gateway has existed over this area for the past 20,000 years, and a gateway of high frequency light is able to be focused into this area. This capability is sharpening.

The Law of One

The quartz Crystals of Arkansas are imbedded with the energy and wisdom of what is referred to as the Atlantean Law of One.

The Master Crystals placed there have frequencially transferred this vibration to the quartz indigenous to the area, and as we have explained, the Masters Crystals contain a higher dimensional alloy of gold conglomerate that has been received energetically by some of the natural occurring beds. The crystals from the McEarl mine carry this unique harmonic. These are especially potent.

Tri-Helix Vortex

The Arkansas vortex is quite unusual in its movement. Most vortexes in the northern hemisphere of your planet spin in either ovaline or circular counter-clockwise flows. The crystal vortex of Arkansas has a very unique, very specialized ‘ to and fro’ vortexial motion. Moving approximately one-third of its circumference counterclockwise, and then rapidly reversing back in clockwise motion. This occurs in 3 separate arcs of 120 degrees. The forward and backward shift of this vortex is most unique, and is purposed in generating greater upward thrust of the crysto-magno-hydro energies. The energy of Arkansas has three succinct telluric forces that contribute to its tri-helixed field. These are the magnetic, centered in Talimena Ridge, Crystalline apexed in Mount Ida and the radium hydro-energy centered in Eureka Springs. These make up the 3 discreet arc- gyros, which are regulated and tri-helixed through the Pyramids below Toltec Mounds and coded in the Sun Disc below Pinnacle Mountain in Little Rock. The unique pattern of the vortex generates the energy into incredible thrusts with both a receiving and transmitting manifold.

The graduation of your planet, that termed the Ascension, is in effect the critical-mass that will allow for the conversion of Earth’s receival capacity template from, in your vernacular, analog to digital, from black & white to color. An incredible transformation is literally only a breath away. The Crystalline Conversion thru the antennae of the 144-Crystalline Grid is about to vastly increase the earth’s dimensional reception from 3d to 12d and beyond. It is akin to your television changing from the archaic antennae to satellite reception. It is the Crystalline Age, the wind beneath the wings of the Ascension. The fulcrum apexial points are the Cosmic Triggers and the Triple Date Portals.

But release the fear Dear Ones, this time of the Ascension, in this New Crystalline Era, the mega power crystals will not be taken from you and misused as occurred in the sad demise of Atlantis. Indeed they will never again be used for any purpose other than the highest good. Be assured of this! It is a sacred oath that will indeed be kept. For you are the family of the Law of One returning to keep this promise. It is why so many of you are drawn to the completion in the Crystal Vortex, for indeed many of you feeling the call were among the revered Scientist Priests of the Law of One, the Atla-Ra, that relocated the Temple Crystals.

While many of you have carried guilt for the loss of control of the crystals, it was indeed the deceptions of the Sons of Belial, the militaristic Aryans of Atlantis that schemed and took the controls from Poseida that led to the destructive forces and deluge. The guilt some of you carried for millennia, and yet carry today is misaligned. It is time to release this. The clarion call is beckoning.

You of the ‘Law of One’ took an oath that the Master Crystals would never again be misused, that you would not allow them to fall into the wrong hands. Dear Ones, it is a promise kept. Their sacredness and benevolent purpose has manifested. You have waited a long, very long time for this completion. It is a contract nearing fulfilment  and you are to be commended. Indeed you made this happen! The Crystalline Transition, the heralded Ascension will occur. It is happening now!

And we tell you without the 12-12-12 there would not be a 21-12-12. The true Ascension is the 12-12-12.
I am Metatron, and I share with you these Truths. You are beloved!

And so it is.
