Fractal Time: the Secret of 2012

and a New World Age

By Gregg Braden, Hay House, Carlsbad, 2009

 

 

The winter solstice of December 12, 2012 brings planet Earth into an extraordinary alignment with the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Historically, ancient seers predicted this date as the end of one age and the birth of a new Eden. Our planet, in its solar system orbit, is at the end of two cycles, maybe more—the end of a galactic cycle and the end of a geologic cycle. [Drunvalo Melchizedek in

Serpent of Light, Beyond 2012 writes about the end of Earth’s Kundalini cycle in India and Tibet and its movement to the Andes in Peru.]

Since 1980, our planet has been experiencing end-time effects—natural disasters, hurricanes,

floods, droughts, tidal waves and fire. Braden compares where we are in our world cycle to past

cycles; the most recent geologic cycle was 1155 BC, the decline of Egypt.

Fractal Time

is rich with facts and information. The inside dust jacket states the essence of this book: "The key to our future lies in the wisdom of the past." Gregg Braden spent twenty years researching Mayan, Hopi and Tibetan wisdom as well as biblical and oral traditions. Multi-cultural wisdom, coupled with recent scientific findings, bring the author to the conclusion that 2012 may be a process rather than an event.

Braden writes about two scientific discoveries that open the process of a new Eden. 1)Scientists have documented that the human heart generates a doughnut shaped magnetic field that is five thousand times stronger than the field of the human brain. 2) A Global Coherence Monitoring System senses changes in the earth’s magnetosphere. Two extraordinary changes in the Earth’s magnetic field were recorded on different days and different years – one on the day Princess Diana died and the other on 9/11, the terrorist attack on the twin towers in New York. Braden’s book states that . . ."strong collective emotion has a measurable impact on the earth’s geomagnetic field." [Pg. 195] Heart based living will have a direct effect on how six point five billion people

experience 2012.

 

Fractals are repeating patterns found in nature—the spirals in atoms, DNA, pea tendrils, sunflowers, whirlpools,

hurricanes and galaxies. Antarctic and Arctic ice samples also show patterns. Previous planetary cycles reveal both global warming and the melting of polar ice. Our planet is changing, and change is a catalyst for spiritual growth. Braden suggests that if we shift the way we experience our selves and our world by seeing 2012 as a window of possibility and a choice point, we can shift into an age of love and cooperation. The Hopi say, "When prayer and

meditation are used rather than relying on new inventions to create more imbalance, they [the people of Earth] will also find the true path." [Pg. 187] (Using heart, prayer and ceremony is also the message of Rainmaker’s Prayers, Align with Global Harmony.)

Through his book, Fractal Time, Gregg Braden offers us hope as well as a recipe for the future. By accessing the silent language of the heart, human beings can solve the problems of our changing planet. Imagine living, thinking and acting as a world-wide family.

Look forward to these topics in our forthcomming anthology.
