Galactic Alignment

Over the past century philosophers, archaeoastronomers, and historians of ancient knowledge and wisdom have been deciphering ancient languages, the origins of ancient temples, and the mythology of ancient civilizations to find the source of inspiration and knowledge for the ingenious contributions of these ancient civilizations and what was left behind. Past civilizations such as the Maya, are now being newly interpreted for those of us who want to know of our past, our evolution as a species, and the destiny of humanity.

Unfortunately, much of the modern world has completely ignored the knowledge obtained by ancient civilizations, or have not given them any intellectual merit, thus creating a global culture, for the most part, steeped in secular and materialistic pursuits. The time has arrived when our local Milky Way galaxy is interacting with our local star system and the most dramatic changes ever to impact on human destiny are now taking place. Humanity is currently being transformed beyond anything ever imagined. Galactic Alignment, a book by John Major Jenkins, prepares us for this transformation.

In a world filled with a materialistic mindset, fueled by a system of profit and loss on accounting ledgers which penalize the poor it is self evident that the information provided in Galactic Alignment is as significant as was Galileo's discovery of a heliocentric solar system. Likewise, Oliver Reiser points out how the galaxy and our consciousness are directly interrelated. The information revealed in Galactic Alignment is embedded all over the planet in monuments and temples.

For all students and seekers of ancient knowledge, the material offered in Galactic Alignment will fill in many gaps and misunderstandings of the archaeoastronomical evidence left behind by cultures all over the world. It is time that a resurgence of interest be taken up by a new generation. Jenkins refers to this new generation as the "alignment generation". This is humanity's chance to utilize these great galactic forces for spiritual renewal. Galactic Alignment clearly demonstrates how to become aware of the destiny we are about to inherit on this planet. The unveiling of this information is profound and very real and effects every human being on Earth.

John Major Jenkins has provided a galactic portal we can all pass through by just paying attention to his own discovery of the galactic parameters of Maya cosmology, and in his revealing of supportive documentation from researchers around the world. We all owe it to ourselves and to the future of humanity to listen to what Jenkins has to say. This very well may be the blueprint for a new heaven on earth, a new global humanity which will assume a respect and devotion to the knowledge that is embedded in the universe, but not directly observed or measured. Jenkins' suggestion that the people of a new alignment generation recognize this galactic cosmology may be our only hope to survive as a human species in this solar system.

Our own transformation with the coming galactic alignment has already been destined to take place, and it is our own realization for personal and planetary growth that will see our successful passage through this galactic portal. The material covered in Galactic Alignment spans the world and the cultures that developed their beliefs around the knowledge of the solstice-galaxy alignment. Galactic Alignment needs to be read several times to break out of the materialistic paradigm, and enter into a new spiritual realm. How we elevate ourselves to see the dawning of this new world age depends on how successfully we pass through the North Gate. The time to act is now, and we only have a few years left to take full advantage of the forces that have been known by ancient civilizations for thousands and thousands of years. Humanity must pass through the Symplegades if it wants to continue the evolution of human consciousness in this part of the galaxy. This is not a fairy-tale.

There is ZERO evidence that the ancient Maya predicted the end of the world in 2012. The Maya calendar does not END in 2012. This Doomsday 2012 bs is a fallacious construct, a projection of exploitative and underinformed writers and Western nihilistic fantasy. A huge publicity campaign has begun for Hollywood's 2012 catastrophe movie, to open November 13, 2009. Is this Hollywood appropriation of 2012 mere harmless entertainment? At the very least, this entertainment comes at a price, and that is: the complete and utter misrepresentation of what 2012 meant to the creators of the 2012 calendar.

I believe that Johan Calleman's theory is the most accurate, and which makes more sense to me. He believes it's the consciousness that the Maya speak about. This consciousness is evolving, and we may all wake up to reality, and no longer judge time the same, so therefore the calendar ends. I do not believe it's a doomsday date, nor do I believe on that date everything will change, I think it's just the beginning of a new paradigm.

John Major Jenkins has done a huge amount of research, reading and thinking about the meaning of the Mayan Long Count end date of 2012. Whether His conclusions make sense to you depends on your belief system and your frame of reference.

It is difficult to evaluate a lot of his conjecture about ancient civilizations and what their icons, symbols, and writing might have meant in regard to the 2012 date. Jenkins reduces it to simplicity by clearly stating that it means the alignment of the Winter Solstice meridian with the plane of the Galactic Center, which is happening now, in our own era. Although the Mayans chose to end their count on December 21, 2012 (by our calendar), the actual alignment happens over a period of time. Many experts think a better date would have been 1998 or 1999. If the alignment is the reason for the end date, and if the alignment happens over some years of time, that seems to indicate the date does not signify an apocalyptic event, as many think. Jenkins speculates that the "end time" is really a period of rising awareness, a time when our very consciousness can shift to a new level.

Jenkins raises the intriguing idea that these alignments on earth -- which mirror the occult dictum of "as above, so below" -- may not have been deliberate, but may be an unconscious response to some type of energy from space, or some dimension beyond our senses.

Is the Galactic Center the source of wisdom, of spirituality? Has our evolution seen sudden jumps because of this energy, and are we getting more of it now that our solar system is lined up with the Galactic center? These seem strange questions to those of us living in modern urban areas where we cannot even see the Milky Way at night. It is always a rare and beautiful night for me whenever I can see stars because, living in the Detroit area, we have way too much light pollution and poor quality of air to see the kind of panorama of lights the ancients must have seen. Jenkins makes the point that the Milky Way, our galaxy, is very visible from the high areas of South America.

I thought large parts of the book were tedious, as the text went over numerous examples, quoted the author's favorite writers, and expounded on astronomical lore that was too obscure to evaluate. If you have no acquaintance with the Precession of the Equinoxes, then a lot of the material here will be hard to follow. I highly recommend Graham Hancock's book, Fingerprint of the Gods, which is a very good introduction to the concepts of Precession and how the numbers are encoded in ancient legends, writings, and monuments.

I have to wonder: If this is a period when we have the opportunity to open ourselves to higher levels of enlightenment, are we doing that? There certainly has been a lot of interest in spiritual topics and re-examination of ancient beliefs. People are studying the Kabbala, embracing New Age ideas, meditating, learning about charkas and natural healing...I dunno, we just elected President Obama, and the world is the worst it's ever been. With our strong and religious differences we continue to create war around the world. I can certainly build a case that none of this shows a human race ever becoming more spiritual or more enlightened.

Look in the mirror...are you more enlightened?....more spiritual?

In this book Jenkins demonstrates that the ancients knew that there are certain times during the cycle of precession, when the earth-sun-galaxy relationship allows the influx of some kind of energy that triggers a transformational leap in mankind. There are 2 crossing points of the Galactic meridian, (centre-line of the Milky Way), and the ecliptic (path of sun and planets across the sky), or equally, the zodiac which lies behind the ecliptic. These crossing-points were known as "Gates" by the ancients. These celestial gates were described by Macrobius as the gates of Capricorn and Cancer, and were seen as doorways through which the soul descends to be reborn on earth and ascends following physical death.

The gate of reincarnation is called the Silver Gate, while the gate of ascension is called the Golden Gate, but he says that the Silver Gate is the way of reincarnation, while the Golden Gate is the Way of the Gods and leads "beyond the circle of Necessity, ie to release from the round of birth and death" (to break the cycle).

These are the two routes from which the soul can exit from the world at death, and the Capricorn gate is the one through which the gods descend to earth.

Precession changes our angular orientation to the larger magnetic field of the galaxy in which we are embedded. during regularly occurring eras in the precessional cycle, as indicated by the solstice-galaxy alignments (probably the equinox-galaxy alignments, too), the earth's protective magnetic shield becomes unstable and oscillates. Without a complete field reversal being required, this oscillation allows greater amounts of mutational rays to strike the surface of the earth. While this may result in mutations and a greater chance for "evolution", of greater significance is the possible transformative effect on human consciousness during alignment eras, when human beings are exposed to higher doses of high-frequency radiation.

Jenkins refers to Swami Sri Yukteswar's study of the Vedic Yuga system, (that may have originated as long ago as 7000 BC), and shows how that system is also flagging the galactic alignment. He concludes that there is a Galactic Chakra system, with the base chakra at Galactic Center, and the crown chakra in the direction of the Galactic Anti-center. Earth is at the level of the fifth (throat) chakra, evolving towards the sixth (ajna or third eye):

"The as yet unspoken message in this survey is that the galactic alignment opens a channel for the kundalini shakti to flow through the earth, cleanse (it) us, and excite it (us) into a higher level of being."

This book has started connecting up many of the threads and has brought into sharp focus, the "underground stream" of knowledge encoded into virtually every religion you can think possibly think of.

They were all preparing us for the opening of the Golden Gate!

I have stopped finding fault with creation and have learned to accept it. We have some power in us that knows its own ends. It is that that drives us on to what we must finally become. We have only to conceive of the possibility and somehow the spirit works in us to make it actual. This is the true meaning of transformation This is the real metamorphosis. Our further selves are contained within us, as the leaves and blossoms are in the tree. We have only to find the spring and release it. Such changes are slow beyond imagination. They take generations. But it works, this process. We are already the product of generation after generation of wishing to be thus. And what you are reader, is what we have wished.

Are you god already? Have you found wings?
