2012 ? The Threshold for A Massive Alteration

2012 Biography of a Time Traveler: The Journey of José Arguelles
By Stephanie South
I FIRST ENCOUNTERED JOSÉ ARGUELLES? work when a friend of mine gave me The
Mayan Factor as a birthday present. I read through it quickly and found it
entertaining, but I couldn?t take it seriously at that point. Although I
had already absorbed the psychedelic philosopher Terence McKenna?s ideas
about the potential for a rapid shift into a new realization of time,
space, and consciousness in 2012, the prospect of a ?Galactic Mayan?
civilization that space-time tripped to earth to encode a knowledge system
and engineer a transformation of human consciousness seemed fantastically
implausible. A few years later, I was sent a copy of Time and the
Technosphere by Jose?s publisher, some months later 9/11.
Reading Time and the Technosphere, I couldn?t escape the suspicion that
José was on to something?that he had found an angle of approach, melding
numerical puzzles and prophetic hints, which revealed a hidden teleology,
opening new avenues into the future. Studying his work was in itself
psychedelic, as it challenged my most basic conception about the nature of
reality. I returned to The Mayan Factor, and this time I was able to enter
more deeply into his way of thought. One morning in my local café, I read
his proposition that the ?Galactic Maya? were returning to Earth, now, as
us, as we attain their level of psychic awareness and synchronic
consciousness. As I considered this idea, I had the sensation of an alien
intelligence and ancient sentience awakening within me.
(After Daniel meets José in Oregon)
...At one point, José was telling me how humanity would begin to
voluntarily take down the post industrial ?technosphere? as we approached
2012, returning the planet to a pristine garden, preferring to live in
small groups, and engaging in telepathic ceremonies. I argued that this
seemed impossible?that we were headed for wars and ecocide, not a return
to the garden.
?My job as a visionary is to envision the best possible outcome for
humanity,? he explained. ?If I don?t do it, who will?? This seemed
shockingly sensible to me. Most people, most of the time, allow their
conceptions of what is possible to be determined by the mass culture that
surrounds them. My psychedelic experiences had revealed that our social
constructs were temporary artifices, and they could be reimagined and
reinvented as soon as enough of us decided to take the matter into our own
hands. I realized that this could only happen if courageous individuals
demanded what seemed impossible in the context of their time.
I decided that the job description of visionary suited my particular
talents. I would also dedicate myself to envisioning the ?best possible?
outcome for humanity,? and bringing it into realization. Another thing
that I learned from José was the necessity to have complete dedication to
the task at hand. Many people may have a great idea or artistic vision,
but, when they encounter resistance or ridicule, they will abandon their
ideal in order to take a safer path. José?s life story reveals a different
stance, where one learns to accept and almost enjoy the gigantic obstacles
encountered along the path as a series of spiritual challenges. By dealing
with these challenges, you sharpen your own faculties and increase your
capacities. As Nietzsche put it, ?The deed creates the doer?almost as an
afterthought...?
Reality appears to be an art form, where the myth-making capacity of the
human imagination is ultimately more powerful than any technology or
technique. José compacted this notion into an elegant formula in which
?time is art.? At the same time, each one of us appears to be both a
unique expression of this galactic-scaled conceptual performance piece,
and, potentially, an artist in own right, able to revise the script when
we discover our inspiration.
____________________________________
OUR PURPOSE OF THE 2012 TIPPING POINT PROPHETS CONFERENCE VANCOUVER is to
explore a radically different, more optimistic interpretation of the Mayan
prophecy ? as referring to the end of the world as we have known it.
Instead of predicting a physical destruction of the material world, the
Mayan prophecy might refer to death and rebirth and a mass inner
transformation of humanity. The conference brings together JOSE ARGUELLES,
JOHN MAJOR JENKINS, JOHN KIMMEY, JOHN PERKINS, LLYN ROBERTS, DANIEL
PINCHBECK, RICHARD TARNAS, and MIGUEL ANGEL VERGARA and in the beautiful
setting of Vancouver, Canada. Following the conference will be in-depth
post-conference workshops.
