This is the Time . . .

by Carlotta Tyler

We are entering a period of profound change characterized by increasing instability.
This change is happening on a planetary as well as on a personal level, illustrating the wisdom: “As above, so below.”

Many individuals are resonating, at a cellular, emotional, psychic level, with the harmonics of the most profound shift in the alignment of our solar system in several millennia. This a major process, yet it has remained virtually unnoticed by the news media.

Older traditions and cultures foretold this time as a shift in nature, in mind-set, in power dynamics around the world. The Mayans, consummate astrologers, were the most precise. Their five thousand-year solar calendar, now in the Museum of Natural History in Mexico City, ended on August 19, 1987. On that day, Buddhists all over the world gathered to meditate on world peace. Other indigenous people had been tracking the start of the paradigm shift for millennia. The Aborigines in Australia, North American tribal peoples, Indus Valley and African traditions all tell of this time, when a several thousand year cycle will end and a twenty-five year window will open, presaging the next several thousand year cycle.

Since thought manifests and humans are among the few species we know of who can focus thought energy, we have been given the task. In short, how humans envision the next cycle, these older wisdom traditions tell us, will determine what form that next cycle takes. 2012 is said to be the closing of that window. However, recent consideration of the Gregorian Calendar, where nine years were removed by Emperor Constantine and Pope Gregory, among others, has cast doubt on the accuracy of the dating of the twenty-five year window. Some are saying that 2003 is the true closing of that window and that the Age of Aquarius has already begun.

The last cycle, the Piscean Age using an astrological lens, was one characterized by human domination which resulted in a lot of aggression, conquest and war as a solution to differences. The predominant organizing thought form of society became “father right” or “patris-archy”. Domination overcame more egalitarian ways of life, religions defined the rules and governments enacted the controls. So the Huna of Hawaii succumbed to Christian Missionaries, the Celts, Goths and Saxons of Western Europe were overcome by the Holy Roman Empire, the Hyssops and other nomadic veldt peoples were subsumed by what became the Judeo-Muslim traditions, the Minoans were wiped out by nature and the Greeks.

This time also saw the development, organization and effective operation of nation-states that built knowledge-rich communities that fed, educated, governed, transported and bonded millions of people. They also degraded the environment and diminished the cultural value of the other half, females. As a consequence, we have whales desperately beaching on Cape Cod because the Navy is bursting their eardrums with undersea sonic booms. Our water supply is compromised from underground nuclear testing, DDT and road salt. We have sea currents and tectonic plates shifting, melting ice caps and pre-pubescent girls having sex boys to be popular.

Many guides, called by some “Star People”, were born into this time to help effect this shift. New souls are coming in with advanced sensitivities and cognition, called by some, the Indigo Children, they have been observed to self heal from Aids by African health care workers, to be rapid learners by Chinese and American educators. It is said that the 24th chromosome, non-operating in most of us, is functioning in them.

Some signs of the Paradigm Shift: Meltdown
  • Tieneman Square, where insurgents used the new fax technology to take their revolutionary aims to the court of world opinion, thereby co-opting government hierarchy.
  • The fall of the Berlin Wall, the result of a change in the mind-set, the acceptance of a critical mass of the people, not from a Summit Conference of leaders. A critical mass, incidentally, is 23% according to the MIT Media Lab, a visionary collection of quantum physicists whose work receives my careful attention
  • The implosion of the moral authority of the Roman Catholic Church: The epidemic of pedophilia came about as a direct result of the decision to write the women out of positions of authority within the Church.
  • 9/11: The ‘shot across our bow’ by international terrorists, thought to be Muslims seeking retribution, perhaps, for everything emanating out of the West since The Crusades.
  • The excesses of the Bush Administration: continuing to shift the fruits of a productive workforce to the already wealthy, denuding our natural resources, dissipating global good-will with a unilateral action-plan, further draining the Social Security account, repeatedly lying to a trusting nation and laying a crushing debt upon generations of Americans to come.
  • The Shifting Plates: the Tsunami in Southeast Asia, the Earthquake in Pakistan, the continuing instability of the planet’s mantle resulting in major movement of the tectonic plates. Look for more shifting, not less as “The Ring of Fire” encircling the Pacific heats up.

Some Signs: Evolving
The alignment of the planets in our solar system has presented us with several important and mysterious events. In May of 2000, all of the planets were in alignment with the Sun. This phenomenon had not been seen since the time of the birth of Christ. This alignment was what The Wise Men followed to find “the new Messiah” of the Christian tradition. On the 8th of November of 2003, a unique alignment of six planets formed a Star of David. I interpret the two overlapping triangles as the joining of the masculine with the feminine, since the upward pointing triangle imitates the male energy in organizing hierarchies of intention and the downward pointing triangle, used over time to symbolize female fecundity as the life force for forming communities. In China, this triangle is called the “Jade Gate”, the source of all pleasure, to men, and “the chevron” in Marija Gimbutus’ interpretation of ancient petroglyphs, in “The Language of the Goddess”.

There’s Hope: Metta-view
The next meta-cycle is foretold to be expansive, love-based, with all life forms vibrating at an intensified rate, helping the planet heal to another plane entirely. Called the Age of Aquarius, you may note that some in the entertainment industry were tuned in to this a while ago, in the 70’s Broadway hit and movie, “Hair”.

Sign Up: For Positive Change
Hey, we didn’t get to this linear, logos-worshiping, dualistic, causal, materialistic, female-demeaning worldview by accident. It took millennia and considerable revision of thought forms to enforce a hierarchy where females were distinguished by their absence, where competition and war was the answer. It took chutzpa to instill counter-intuitive concepts such as a trinity of male deities, virgin birth, the Burka and priests in satin and skirts. It took an establishment intent on removing essential female functions. With the advent of physician-assisted birth, test tube babies and in-vitro fertilization natural female functions have been co-opted. Women in this model are in danger of becoming obsolete, like hula-hoops, Edsel cars and girdles. Now that “womb envy” has been overcome by artificial insemination and Viagra has overcome waning penile tumescence, don’t you think it’s about time to bring in our voices to set the world aright?

So, are you committed to do your part, to speak your piece, to support positive change?
Speak up. Speak out.
The world is waiting for the authentic voice of women and girls.
