Cosmic Alignment… Solar Cycle 24… GRB’s… Galactic Superwave… whew! It appears there are many curious astronomical facts and mythological serendipities surrounding the Era 2012 lines of thought. These all underlie our expanding understanding of our place in the universe. And that is what this site is all about, gaining all the information we can to find our true foundations of existence. Following the Hermetic axiom “as above – so below” we have some interesting times unfolding on the Earth plane.
Alchemy2012.com provides you links to keep abreast of what is happening on a wide range of observable geocosmic phenomena and human activities; the Portals page is your tool to monitor solar, terrestrial, cosmic states and events, as well as a place to connect with diverse streams of alternative thought. Check them all out, don’t allow your belief systems to stunt the expansion of your consciousness.
By allowing a wide range of data into consciousness from various disciplines & belief systems one can get a better grasp of the true state of our local universe and our place in it. As my dear old friend, the late Vince Gaddis, would admonish me, “keep a suspended judgement until all the facts are in.”
Like the Odilon Redon painting “Fallen Angel” at right, humanity has wings with which to soar, but instead walks on the ground groping its way through the dark materialism of the present earth condition.
In order to become conscious of our “wings” and learn to fly we must build up new cognitive organs within our full range of consciousness by cognizing all aspects of phenomena. Rudolf Steiner called this the Goethean method. Many people look forward to a new era where Art and Science, Astrology and Astronomy are all one mytho-cultural astrotheological supercognition.
“That there is an inward gold, or rather, that gold has an inward as well as an outward reality, was only logical for the contemplative way of looking at things, which spontaneously recognized the same ‘essence’ in both gold and the sun. It is here, and nowhere else, that the root of alchemy lies.”
Titus Burckhardt in Alchemy
Gold and the Sun have been linked through the ages. Alchemical gold is that which is within our being that is most durable, is purified in the fire of experience, is that which we use to deliver our highest creative expressions, and is carried with us beyond this mortal phase. We are in the dark/negredo phase of our planet’s alchemical experiment: gold is now treated as a mere commodity whilst fraudulent worthless paper backed by bankrupt corrupt governments serves as the basis of world exchange; the lowest grade of electromagnetism drains the planetary vitality and pollutes the ether.
Alchemy is the science and art of the transformation of time, space, being and matter and is our pathway out of this dark age. We can escape this slave planet and return to the Magical Land, the Kingdom of God! It is not about shipping our carcasses in a saucer shaped tin can physically to another planet, rather it is about seeing the true nature behind appearances. It is about where we stand in our hearts and minds, the higher worlds are all around us, always. This site contains the axiomatic derivatives of my understandings of this condition and how I see them apply to both science and art. It is all about alchemical transformation and metamorphosis.
The BioLuminous Body - Symbol for Homo luminous
Metamorphosing into Homo luminous is the goal. The exact origins of that name are unknown here. Author & filmmaker Jay Weidner claims that it derives from Incan shamans, we may safelly assume the Latin nomenclature is not historical from their tradition.
Many traditions from the Western Mystery schools to the Taoist alchemical traditions teach of building the Body of Light and Dinshah’s Spectrochrome system delineates the color-body relationships. Wherever derived, Homo luminous fits the thesis unfolding on these pages. Even if we only make it to Homo cogitatus it was worth the try!
We are already awake, it’s just that our primary perceptions are generally interpreted and altered by our singular belief systems so we don’t notice the higher pouring through manifestation. Once we get to the point of direct perception of reality beyond belief we realise our potential as agents of change and growth. I see this in so many people now it is hard to keep up on. So many ideas and concepts are floating around, 2012, astrotheology, psychedelic shamanism, holographic universe, quantum confusion, etc… To keep on point and progress there must be an ultimate system’s logic to any presented concept.
Alchemy2012.com could not exist without the incredible amounts of work done by people the world over on all aspects of advancing knowledge. A tip of the hat especially to John Major Jenkins whose research into the Mayan Tzolkin calendar and its anthropological, philosophical and astronomical connections have been the keystone of understanding all the diverse strands of information and events related to 2012. It is highly recommended that you read through his website Alignment2012.com and acquire his books. John’s erudite and accurate assessment should be fundamental to your studies.
This site is therefore not to rehash others’ theories and work in a jumbled personal fashion, rather it is my humble attempt to add something to the mix from the viewpoint of my research and experiences. For now this site is an observation platform, a link to other researches; and an expression of how I see the interweaving thread amongst it all; a web log for my views and experiences with connections to those areas I’m interesting in following … I love going down rabbit holes.
Is this part of the “2012 Bandwagon” as some call all this? We’re all on this bandwagon/planet going through the phase. Now is the time to express ourselves, when you’re dead it’s too late! The year “2012″ is not the point or focus for this work, but it has become a popular attractor for awakening people, and the underlying astronomical truth provides the requisite validity for my usage. What I’ll be doing in 2013 and beyond is still under consideration!
Where does one begin to measure a circle? Especially if that circle encompasses a wide range of concepts axiomatically derived from diverse perspectives: galactic, heliocentric, geocentric and anthropocentric, art, science, myth, history, etc…. Think of Alchemy2012.com as performance art. It will be growing and evolving as I try to measure and comprehend the infinite length of awareness…
Since I have started this site in late 2007, thousands of people from over 70 countries have viewed it, showing clearly the global interest in this topic. Homo luminous in process! Thank you for your interest.
Thank you,
