Terrence McKenna, Uranus, 2012 And Winged Pyramids

12/21/12 in Chichen Nitze.

I’ve been thinking about 2012 lately. I’ve gone from one side of the 2012 camp, to the other and now dance somewhere in the middle of it’s significance. Early on, back around 1995, when I was just starting to explore the work of Jose Arguelles and Angela Spillsbury, the whole concept of 2012 fit neatly into an inner paradigm that I had been constructing for a very long time. Hearing about “The Photon Belt,” “Alcyone,” “The Galactic Center” and so on, made a great deal of sense to me. All of this coinciding with the end of The Kali Yuga (Hindu epoch of planetary suffering) and “The Procession Of The Equinoxes” all made perfect sense to me. But as I began my descent down into the rabbit hole, I wondered how much of the 2012 mythology was fact and how much of it was fabrication, an orchestrated event to manipulate our consciousness and belief systems. Let’s throw Niburu into the mix, which supposedly will arrive on 2012 and violently alter the physical and social topography of our planet, adding yet another layer of complexity in the rapidly approaching drama.

I first met up with George Green back in 1990, in Olympia, Washington. Green and his wife were on tour, telling people about The NWO, right in the middle of the first Iraq war. I was not prepared for the level insider info that they had to share. It was so far out that in some ways, it had to be believable. He claimed that most of the high level bureaucrats were either clones or “robotoids” and that they were completely controlled. I left that talk with my own sense of reality and sanity pierced.

Green had been approached one time by The Carter administration to work with them, but as he got closer to the source, he backed away from any involvement with “The Peanut Farmer From Plains.” I eventually circled back to Green in the mid-nineties with a book he had published, a channeled work called, Handbook For A New Paradigm. If you haven’t read it, I found it to be one of the most profound pieces of channeled material I had ever read. It dwells mostly on the nature of the universe and God, from the standpoint of Prime Creator knowing itself through creation, without judgement and how there is counterforce to Prime Creator that thinks that it can create another universe unto itself based on darkness and anti-matter. However the endgame would always resort in Prime Creator having the upper hand, because even in the act of anti-creation, the dark could not separate itself from Prime Creator or source, even if they chose to alter the very nature of the source itself. It was a great read and then George Green faded again from my view.

Recently, when I was looking for samples for one of my tracks, I came across an interview with Green on “Coast-to-Coast” with George Noory. There he was again, unreeling wild tales about underground cities and concrete domed houses that can withstand up to 300 mph. Yes, it all centered around 2012 and Niburu.

So what we’re dealing with on the 2012 front is something that has profound, social velocity, which is going to pick up considerable steam when “2012” directed by epic disaster master, Roland Emmerich hits the screens. “2012,” stars John Cusack as a crusading anthropologist who takes it upon himself to counteract the apocalyptic events of 2012 and save himanity. It fits neatly in Emmerich’s end of days resume, which includes independence Day and The Day After. Emmerich also helmed, Stargate so I guess if you need someone to depict disaster films and future mythologies, he’s your man. But is there any meat on the bones of 2012, especially from an astrological perspective?

In my mind, Terrence McKenna was truly one of the great minds of The 20th Century. Unlike previous psychonauts who had travelled the dopamine soaked neural pathways of alternative realities, McKenna did as much as he could to keep his findings as closely as he could to the realm of academia. He published massive tomes on his experiences as a psychedelic explorer and his choice of substances, “entheogens” was his name for them was anything but casual or fun. McKenna took heroic doses of mushrooms, but his substance of choice was DMT, which Daniel Pinchbeck described as “smoking a lawn chair.” Strong doses of DMT can transport the user into an alternate reality in a matter of moments and keep the often bewildered traveler there for 15-20 minutes, which for them, often seems like lifetime. People that voyage to the DMT space describe strabge creatures that range from rapturous to phatasmagoric. McKenna would often witness the strange, almost cartoon-like rituals of what he would call, “Machine Elves.” But that wasn’t all McKenna witnessed.

While McKenna journeyed into the deepest recesses of his psyche he cam upon the future beaming back to us, like an event tractor beam, sucking us towards a point of social entropy and then being shot out like a cannon into a new reality of “extropic novelty.” He likened this to the apocalyptic visions that are held by a number of religions, however, for McKenna, the end result of the warp from one reality to the woof of another was quite different.

To test his theory out, he devised an elaborate mathematical algorithim and then ploted the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching across a linear timewave of history. McKenna was able to decode the rise and fall of epochs and ages, the movements of cycles through time, all the way to 2012 and that ‘s where his model, based on the algorithim and “Book Of Changes” stopped. In McKenna’s mind, this is where the event horizon of history ends.

As a brief experiment, I did a chart for 12/21/12 at 12;21 pm, for Chicen Itze, where the animus for Mayan calendar most likely took shape. The chart is very interesting. Notice how Uranus in Aries is just approaching the ascendant with the Moon, already there. The feeling is one of imminent breakthrough of some form or another. Uranus in Aries cannot simply rest in the solitude of the 12th house, especially as it approaches the ascendant. Later in the day, in Mayan time, Uranus in Aries will meet the ascendant with full force, uncoiling energies that have been dormant and repressed, for possibly ages. The moon has already paved the way and people will be feeling the pull towards some, emotionally transcendent experience, with more than just a sense of expectancy. But it gets even better.

In the chart, notice where Neptune and Chrion are. They’re conjunct in Pisces and they both form the tip of a grand trine. Neptune is right on the cusp of the 11th/12th and denotes an almost perfect merge with Chiron of the ideals of Aquarius in house 12th, true communion amongst one another and a return to source, Like The Moon, Chiron is leading the way, opening the door of the 12th, creating a portal through our vulnerability, To me, Chiron in this moment becomes a collective prayer for the soul of humanity, a moment where we must cross the divide between our ability to do it on our own and surrender to an energy that will carry us across some psychic divide in a way that we could not do on our own. Something opens up and the critical mass of awakening can tilt us towards a collective gnosis, but we cannot do it alone.

Just look at the chart for a moment and then digest what the Sabian symbol for Aries 4, which is where Uranus is stationed at 12/21/12, “A Triangle With Wings.” Go ahead, look at the chart again. What do you see? Notice where Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries are the tips of the wings, flanking Neptune at the head of the triangle or the tip of the pyramid?

What of The Capricornian Sun, rising up and illuminating Quetzlcoatl on the plain of Chichen Itze that very day? It’s at 0 degrees and the Sabian Symbol for that degree is “An Indian Chief Claims Power From The Assembled Tribe.” I find it more than mildly interesting that the degree/symbol evokes indigenous imagery, which for all intents and purposes is an indigenously driven moment in time.

Who is the chief? Christ? Anti-Christ? Godhead? Us?

Venus in Sag and Jupiter in Gemini also have their roles to play out. Venus in Sag, 8th house signifies a death, a transformation of how we relate to one another, the end of one story and the beginning of another. The Sabian Symbol for 8 Sag is “Within The Depths Of The Earth, New Elements Are Being Formed.” I think I’ll leave my interpretation out on that one as the power and resonance, aligned for this particular lends itself to rumination and not easy conjecture.

So there it is. I’m still not fully embracing the concept of 2012 as to how it’s being portrayed, but from McKenna, to the Mayan chart for that day and the Sabian Symbols, something is definitely in the air and I have no doubt that we’ll be able to gauge more relevance and meaning as we’re pulled towards some form of cultural epiphany at the end of time.
