- The end of the world as we know it?
- I confess I haven't got a clue.
- It's all a little "new-agey" for me.
- I am doing all I can to avoid the millenium madness ~

The Eclipse of the Millenium ~ Ken Kalb
Roger's Notes
Do you believe in Magic? [6/1/99]
Recently as I follow my spiritual nose, I find myself continually bumping
into stuff approaching the apocalyptic. [reference yesterday’s note and
this was a topic in our Spiritwalk group tonight.] This has been going on
for about a month now. Don’t ask me why. It is an interesting
phenomenon. E mails I confess not reading fully about the things like the
death of “grandmother moon,” [ http://www.angelfire.com/ny/earthspirit ,
http://www.starknowledge.com/ ] brought to us by channelers and astral
explorers [keep an open mind, Roger]; but I couldn’t stand the idea of not
having the moon with me in the night, so I don’t want to think about it.
The collapse of the world economy [when should I sell my Magellan?] is
said to be coming soon; La Nina is going to eliminate the warm California
sun this summer, they tell me; The year starts out with two blue moons
sandwiching a month without a full moon at all [what does that do to the
mother earth’s menses program?], and the coming day of destiny August 11
or is it the 13th [what happens if you were holding out for the thirteenth
and it all comes down on the 11th]- http://dayofdestiny.com/Moreabout8-13-99.html
. We are about to celebrate
the 13th Anniversary of the Harmonic convergence [were you old enough to
OM along in 1986 ] http://www.1spirit.com/eraofpeace/ . All of this has
me in a real dither.
The guru I was hanging out with last month tells us that we are on the
edge of a disintegration that happens every so often and it’s actually no
big deal so don’t worry, be happy. I hear from Benjamin Crème that the
new world leader (Maitreya) is waiting in the wings for the world to call
for his leadership. He will help us through a major shift in
consciousness bringing the entire world into a community of love and
compassion and communion with God [This actually sounds great to me!]
check this out http://www.shareintl.org . He says the international
appearances of Mary, the bleeding crucifixes and the weeping statues, the
olive oil producing ikons, the milk drinking Ganeshas [see The Miracles
Page http://www.mcn.org/1/miracles/default.html ]
all point to the emergence of a [the?] new messiah.
I remember my friend Carlos White Eagle telling me about the earth’s
vibration changing and that we need to prepare for big things coming down
very soon. If you’re interested, check out
http://www.spiritwalk.org/rnotesarchiv.htm#Carlos
It’s all way, way, way beyond me. I just have my little meditation
practice and my little Spiritwalk group and I am trying to mind my own
business of awakening but the fact that this big stuff may be goin’ on is
mighty distracting. What do we do if this is the end. You know how I
hate to miss anything…
So what do we do? Here is what Standing Elk advises in his message about
grandmother moon: http://www.starknowledge.com/
Please drink water, a lot of water during this time, and share the
following keys.
1. No more judgment, do not judge yourself.
2. Forgive everyone, learn to forgive yourself.
3. Find peace with everyone, find peace with yourself.
4. Love everything and everyone, learn to love yourself.
Mitakuye Oyasin,
Standing Elk
Well, I guess I can work on that. It couldn’t hurt…
Have a great day all and stay awake….
Peace
Roger
Roger's Notes
Apocalypse Now??? [6/2/99, 3:30 A.M.]
And it continues…
After completing the note “do you believe in magic.” I started on my
meditation and discovery of the daily meditation. I found it immediately:
We are living in a very exciting and powerful time. On the deepest level
of consciousness, a radical spiritual transformation is taking place. I
believe that on a worldwide level, we are being challenged to let go of
our present way of life and create an entirely new one. We are, in fact,
in the process of destroying our old world and building a new one in its
place.
~ Shakti Gawain, Living in the Light with Laurel King (1978)
o.k. confirmation. Then I decided to search on and I find this ~
Unknown Man by Yatri (1988)
The ending of our century has more than its fair share of predictions and
omens. No other century has had such a wealth of apocalyptic prophecies
surrounding its closing years. And yet interwoven throughout the visions
of a cataclysmic end to our dark warring age is one very particular thread
of light ~ the supposed appearance of a totally new being who heralds a
new age of consciousness. [Weird ain’t it, I can’t help but read on]
Our collective consciousness is abundantly saturated with such archetypes
and the fascination of a popular superman image is all the more likely to
appear at the end of the century. The final years of any century are
notorious for wacky ideas which sweep across the planet and coming “golden
ages” are the perfect stuff for the end of our seventh millenium. One of
the prime requirements of our dreams of golden ages is that they never
happen now. Such glorious epochs are invariably reserved for the distant
past or the far future. The Hindu golden age is safely ten thousand years
old while John’s Christian view of Revelation sets the coming age of Light
and Peace two thousand years into his future.
But, like that apocalyptic vision, other prophecies are also coming home
to roost. And most of them firmly place the golden egg on our present
doorstep.
Gurus, psychics, mediums and channelers, all add their voice to the
gathering mystery of the forthcoming age, each with his favorite hero of
higher consciousness. The golden boy has become a commodity to be sold in
the New Age marketplace even before he has left the womb.
EVERY AGE HAS HAD ITS FUTURE AND ITS DREAM
The dreams of the thirties now seem sinister and totalitarian ~ fascists
dreaming neo-Romans and Soviets dreaming over-life-sized comrades in
superstates. Even as early as the 1920’s, Carl Gustav Jung prophesied
that a blonde monster would arise in Germany. He had been shocked to find
this archetype in so many of his patients’ dreams. It took another
fifteen years for the Nazi Aryan ideal to come into being. But all these
supermen proved to be inhuman monsters, horrendous parodies of the
collective mirage.
With such tragic failures so fresh in the memory just how realistic is the
new dream? Is this unconscious collective vision of a new magical hero
destined to end up in the same dark grave as his monstrous brothers of the
thirties?
Supposing we were to assume that a new changeling is a possible reality.
At this stage it doesn’t matter whether he or she has arisen in the
collective mind, awaiting actualization, or that somewhere deep within us
is a global precognition of an event which will send our species into
oblivion. The simple question is, how might we go about looking for him
or her?
Clearly, as investigators, we are at a considerable disadvantage right
from the start. These new entities are, by definition, unknown. There is
no description of what or who they might be like. There are no photo
albums, passports and forwarding addresses.
[Benjamin Crème has a picture]
Testimony of their existence is, to say the least, questionable, being
totally confined to such vague announcements as the “dawning of the new
man” or the coming “herald of the new age.” And it certainly does not
help that most of the prime “witnesses” have been dead for centuries. So
we must now look further afield than either the prophets or their
prophecies if we are to satisfy our curiosity concerned with such
predictions.
We might start the inquiry by asking whether there are any pre-requisite
conditions in the environment for such a profound evolutionary change.
There are many conflicting evolutionary theories. But there is only fact
that does emerge, which seems to be shared by most biologists. Available
evidence points to the fact that any major evolutionary jump is preceded
by some kind of crisis within the environment of the organism. This
usually happens when there is an imbalance or extreme in the natural
habitat which triggers powerful adaptive, evolutionary responses. [Do we
have imbalance?]
Never before has humankind faced so many crises all together at one time.
We stumble over critical threshold after critical threshold in a long
chain of events running parallel to one another which are destined to
clash simultaneously any moment. Any one of these thresholds of
pollution, population explosion, destruction of the ozone shield or the
dramatic climactic changes brought about by the greenhouse effect is, even
by itself, sufficient to detonate an evolutionary bomb which could totally
change the direction of our species.
However, if we then add the new technological thresholds which we overstep
daily in atomic physics, communications, artificial intelligence, space
technology, genetic engineering, solar energy and the revolutionary new
conceptual models of science, we have the most volatile mixture ever
concocted in our little solar system. From the sheer number and
magnitude of these accelerating lines of change all converging at the one
crossroads in the last years of this century, something quite shattering
is about to happen. On close examination the choice does not seem to be
whether it will happen, but whether we manage to destroy ourselves before
it happens.
If, for the moment, we assume that by some miracle we do survive the chaos
of the next decade [we have at least managed that] what would then be the
most likely coming scenario?
Before we can even begin to envision such a happening, some plausible
context, some background must be created. So as a prelude to the event
let us take a good look at the crossroads upon which we stand at the
present [1988] moment. Only by carefully surveying the landscape can we
hope to discover whether the claim, that we are about to walk across an
evolutionary minefield, is reasonably justified.
Most of the issues are so well-known and popularized that it is necessary
to enumerate them in detail. However, the main point is to be made,
despite the sheer weight of evidence, we still overlook the magnitude and
range of changes we are living through.
[I guess this examination comes in Yatri’s book Unknown Man published by
Simon and Schuster in 1988] [Who is this Yatri guy anyway?]
So it’s been an interesting day. I don’t know what to think..
but I’m working on it.
Looking forward to amazing times.
Good Night all.
All Blessings

THE LIGHT SHIFT
by Ken Kalb
LightShift is a spiritual revolution. It is a call from spirit, by spirit, and for spirit
to
unite in our silence and our light with grand intention. We believe that this is the
singular most powerful thing we can do to boost the frequency on this planet to
raise the light quotient to the point of critical mass awakening. We also feel this
surge will permeate into all areas of life and positively impact the course of
civilization on Earth.
In essence, spirit is energy which manifests as light. As we evolve, we become
more light and less dense. Powerful waves of awakening are now surging on Earth
as our natural evolution and spiritual destiny. The more light each of us can anchor,
the more good we can do for each other and our planet. Banding together in this
elevated frequency, we create a circuit whose resonance can create miracles. By
synchronizing a quantum of beings in this spirit, we concentrate our intensity and
form the radiant core from which a mass illumination ignites. For this is indeed the
manifestation of the Aquarian Christ -- blazing through each of our hearts as
one.
May all Lightworkers now unite to co-create our future!
For it is only in alignment that there can be fulfillment; only in unity where we
create manifestation. Though there may be great diversity in our lives, we all share
a divine spark, a luminous core of light from the great heart of God. Around this
core, may we find the unity in our diversity, and the harmony in our variety to rally
for this noble purpose.
Can consciousness change the course of history? Most certainly! If we shift our
own consciousness, our life changes; look at the incredible transformation of Baba
RamDass from Richard Alpert as a case in point. Or consider how different you
feel before and after a deep meditation, a good workout, a massage, dancing, sexual
union, or a gut wrenching belly laugh: Our vibration and attitude modulates our
world. Like a moth in chrysalis transforming into a butterfly, we can shift our
individual reality. So collectively, particularly in a massive united effort, we can
transmute the course of life and history in a similar metamorphosis.
LightShift 2000 was born from a reoccuring vision of divine instructions before it
became manifest in a plan. Now the plan is evolving, growing and creating itself out
of the wonderful linkages, inspirations, and partnerships which are being
engendered everyday. It amazes me that after billions of years of evolution -- right
at the shift of an age and the entrance into a new millennium -- when our very own
survival is at stake -- we have a global communication device through which we can
all connect and share. We wish to use this tool for its ultimate purpose.....for the
common good of humanity.
Our people need us, Mother Earth calls us to serve her desire to survive and
thrive.
We yearn to turn the current destructive course around into a sustainable and
renewable life. We hear the sound of the heavens silently beckoning us from within.
We feel the heart of God calling those who live for the flame of love. When there
are enough feathers on a wing, a bird is ready to fly. And when the wings gracefully
synchronize, there is flight.
Let us come together........ together as One........for this radiant millennial moment
is ripe with promise.
In the silence of our essence, we share the wellspring of creation. From this sacred
place, we are given the rare opportunity for a grand alignment of spirit, a linkage of
love, an awesome outpouring of hope. You, my friend, are the lightshift.....the hope
of the future.
January 1, 2000 is the radiant millennial moment when we can assemble as this
quantum of humanity necessary to form this awesome core of light. You are
invited, welcomed, and blessed to be part of this core. Let us join together in unity
from our vast diversity, where the divinity in all of us radiantly glows. For
together........
We Will Turn On The Light of the World!
"A joyful heart is the invevitable result of a heart burning with love"

http://www.lightshift.com/Inspiration/lightshift.html
By Ken Kalb
From ancient times, eclipses have been viewed as markers of powerful changes ahead. Because the luminaries block each other and distort or darken the light, eclipses take on an ominous flavor. Though there are usually four eclipses every year – two solar and two lunar -- major eclipses are viewed as clear demarcations between a former cycle and a dawning new one. They are boosts of energy escalating consciousness over an evolutionary bridge.
Two weeks after the July 28 total lunar eclipse, on Wednesday, August 11,1999, there will be a Total Solar Eclipse (TSE) of truly millennial proportions. It is fundamental for all of us to understand the significance of this unprecedented celestial event. During the period of darkness covering the path of the eclipse, you are invited to join millions of kindred spirits in your divine radiance to ignite the divinity of consciousness of this new period of awakening.
With surgical precision, the planets of the eclipse form a powerful Grand Cross formation in all four 'gates of power,' or middle of the fixed signs of the zodiac: Taurus, Leo, Aquarius, and Scorpio (representing the four Sacred Beasts of the Apocalypse – the Bull, Lion, Man, and Serpent/Eagle, of Ezekiel's chariot, of the Sphinx, and of the final card of the Tarot, the World). This directly links the energy of the conjoined Leo new Moon and Sun in opposition to Uranus in Aquarius, with each body squaring Mars (in Scorpio) and Jupiter (in Taurus).
Yet another "T-Square" or "Tau" is also formed by Neptune in Aquarius opposing Mercury in Leo, with both squaring Jupiter in Taurus. Both the Grand Cross and T-Square are dynamic configurations of challenge, intensity, and self-transcendance, and the fixed signs are powerful and archetypal. Are you ready for the most powerful shift in
human history? As God turns out the lights for two minutes and twenty two seconds, the Mother of all eclipses opens the charged portal of The Window, the gateway into the new Aquarian dispensation.
In Esoteric Astrology, Alice Bailey once described the fixed cross as a transition in consciousness and an initiation of the soul by the fires of God. Imagine yourself facing off the Bull, taunting the Lion, challenging the Serpent, and walking the initiatory path of the Soul. The prophetic days of purification are now upon us.
- The 19th century magus Eliphas Levi once said, "the grand symbols of the past
- are the prophecies of the future." Just as the Earth is being crossed by the planets in space, we find ourselves at a critical crossroads -- a simultaneous christing and crucifixion, as we cross this threshold into the 21st century and Aquarian age.
- The eclipse first shadows land in Southwestern England at Cornwall, the mystical land of
- Arthur, Merlin, the Holy Grail, and recently the mysterious crop circles. On May 3rd
- (precisely one year before the Grand Planetary Alignment of 2000), a magnificent ecliptoid representation appeared in the fields in Andover near Hampshire, England! The
- total eclipse will be visible within a narrow corridor traversing the Eastern Hemisphere, with the Moon's umbral shadow beginning in the Atlantic, crossing central Europe, the Middle East, and India where it ends at sunset in the Bay of Bengal in India. A partial eclipse will be seen within the much broader path of the Moon's prenumbral shadow, which includes northeastern North America, all of Europe, northern Africa, and the western half of Asia.
- This eclipse occurs at 11:08 am GMT (10:12 am -- 12:27 pm), in broad daylight, and
- though not visible to most Earthlings, all of us will feel it on the inner plane.
The coincidence of the swath of the eclipse with the flight path of the NATO jets over the Balkans is most intriguing. And how fascinating that this fixed polarity eclipse would focus on the Leo/Aquarius axis, just as the astrological age shifts into Aquarius.
For 13000 years ago, half way back around the 'Great Year' or galactic precessional cycle, the Earth entered the opposing Age of Leo -- often considered the time of the Great Flood – and quite possibly the last geopolar shift and secondary ice age. Many archaeo-astronomers now date the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau to this time, and feel the Sphinx (a composite of the 4 sacred beasts) was encoding the birth of this age in stone in grand Leonine symbology.
- Now proliferating the thought waves is a host of prophecy from the past which seems to
- focus on these mysterious times. In one of his most specific, yet least understood prophecies (Century X, Quatrain 72), Nostradamus states: "In the year 1999 and 7 months; From the sky will come a great King of Terror; He will resurrect the great King of Angolmois; Before which Mars rules happily....this will be preceded by the eclipse of the Sun, more obscure and tenebrous than has ever been since the creation of the world, except the eclipse after the death and passion of Jesus Christ." With the forward correction from the Julian calendar of Nostradamus' day to the current Gregorian calendar, this seems to correspond with this eclipse of August 11, 1999. On the dark side, The "King of Terror" has been speculated to be a comet colliding with Earth, an alien invasion, a nuclear war, or the return of the plutonium filled Cassini spacecraft. On the bright side, it has also been interpreted as the awakening of the spirit of Jesus within the masses, enlightenment, or revelations from the opening of the Hall of Records under the Sphinx – who in Arab tradition is called "the Father of Terror." In any event, we soon will know just what the mysterious mystic mused.
By gathering with radiance and passion in collective attunement, we are participating in a positive act of planetary alchemy which forms the hologram of love and activates the core from which the entire consciousness of humanity isignited.
- Many groups such as LightShift 2000 ( http://www.lightshift.com ),
- Rising Earth ( http://www.FreenetPages.co.uk/hp/risingearth/world_earth_healing_day.html ), Lotus Centre ( http://www.lotushealth.co.nz ), and many others(check the Global Meditations site at http://www.globalmeditations.com ) are organizing events around the eclipse.
- We invite all to join hands and hearts during this powerful flashpoint. Please see the
- vital information section of LightShift 2000 website to get further information and time zone corrections. http://www.lightshift.com/Vital/index.html
January 1, 1999 -- 111999 -- Alpha and Omega
- Consider how the first day of this last year of the century, January 1, 1999,
- exhibited a unique configuration of numbers with powerful metaphysical significance. Writing out the numbers, we get 111999, or two trinitys of the first and last number. The
- number one represents unity, and the beginning or alpha portion of a cycle, while the
- number nine represents the omega, end, or eternal phase. So implicit in January 1, 1999 is both alpha and omega, marking the beginning of the end of a two thousand year calendric cycle – signaling both a completion and an initiation.
Deuces Are Wild!!
- Here, the plot really thickens as we examine the space-time segment of this
- eclipse. The Total Solar Eclipse of 8/11/1999 aligns precisely 222 days after 1/1/1999.
- Now the peak of TSE intersects the Earth at 45 degrees North latitude and 22'30" East longitude near Bucharest, Romania. A division of the Northern hemisphere by 2 gives 45 degrees, and the Eastern hemisphere by 2 – three times (2,2,2) gives 22 1/2 degrees, the very heart of the eclipse! Now, If this weren't coincidence enough, Dr. Frank Espenak, director of the Nasa Goddard Space Flight Laboratory points out that an atomic timing of the eclipse calculates it will last precisely...2 minutes 22 and 1/2 seconds! This is all just too much: The odds of these synchronisms are so rare they give me a gogol of goosebumps. And TSE comes 144 (12X12) days before the Year Two Thousand!
So what does this obvious charge around the number 2 mean? Perhaps it has to do with the need to balance the 2 elements of being: Masculine and feminine, yin and yang, positive and negative into wholeness. In essence I think it boils down to the interconnectedness of you and I, together: A signal of the basic Aquarian principle of "we" instead of "me." It brings up the image of Noah and his arc in the face of the flood, loading up two by two. The formula for surivial and success in the 21st century is in synergistic win/win partnerships.
So let us join hearts and spirits in radiance and collective attunement during this sacred moment of entry into "The Window into the Third Millennium." For together, we will turn on the inner Light of the World.

August 11, 1999
The Millenium countdown begins?
On August 11, 1999, the last solar eclipse of this century occurs,
and a growing
movement of groups and individuals will be participating in a World Meditation
Day during the eclipse, and during the events of the week that follows. World
Meditation Day is for engendering world peace and harmony in our conflicted
human society. Some of the factors underlying World Meditation Day are now
emerging.
Here is some more information about this day
- Many groups are joining in a World Meditation Day on August 11, the day of the Solar
- eclipse, and in meditations throughout the week of August 11-18, 1999. The end-cycle
- of the Aztec calendar on August 13, 1999, is one such event. Find a group in your area
- to join with in prayer and thought, or organize your own gathering at a power spot
- near you! Celebrate the end of a very long and harsh cycle. Spend a few minutes joining
- with the Light, calling for Love to prevail in the Universe. We might be truly amazed at
- what we can do as a group, in Love.
See Spiritwalk's World Peace Page for more about this...
THE END OF THE WORLD AS I WANT IT
"The Grand Fixed Cross/Eclipse of August 11, 1999"
©1999 ANTERO ALLI, anteros@speakeasy.org
(HOLY GHOSTIES)
On August 11th, 1999 there will coincide, in the skies above and
the souls below, the magnanimous astrological configuration of a
grand fixed cross crowned by a new moon solar eclipse. I am
hard-pressed to find a more stunning extraterrestrial geometry for
this century. That it congeals less than five months before the end
of the millennium is but one of many dazzling points in this caustic
cosmic crucifix. Where to begin ? My bias; where I'm coming
from. The way I'm choosing to interpret this stems from my own
alignment with Creation as I know it; no matter how disturbing or
shocking my views may be, I believe they reflect the process of
Creation as I know it. It is certainly not my intention to act as any
mercenary messenger of dismal doom. How limiting; how boring!
For all I know, doomsday may've already been canceled. Or,
perhaps the Earth itself (suspended inside the calm center of the
crucifix) is calling the shots and we are set for the ride of our
lives, while our home planet is initiated to higher extraterrestrial
frequencies.
