Moora Moora - a 2C Field Trip Open Day at Moora Moora by Jonathan Shaw - Blue Crystal Monkey Crystal Alpha 5, Red Magnetic Moon Spin Kin 1 Red Magnetic Dragon -- 12.19.14.6.12 The 2C gang escape suburban Melbourne to Dreamspell Geek it up in the Hills outside Healesville, as one Tzolkin Inevitably Becomes Another Mag Dragon’s don’t get much better than this: the hills of Healesville (70km to the east of the city of Melbourne) – Community Living – Garden Economies – Fresh Air.

maicha I should add) – then celebrated the new Tzolkin with a Galactic Fry Up (I know, terribly un-Spiritual, but hey, the Truth has a certain ring to it, doesn’t it? Please ? Someone ? ) Then we picked Nicko up from Eltham – and headed into Healesville where we bought socks, coffee and cake and then drove into the hills to be within the conﬁnes of the 30 house strong, 30 year old community called MooraMoora.

And boy was it cold on the hill ! Dang OK, wait, we won’t get too carried !! Freezing. A beautiful Moora Moora home away, idyllic paradise, blah-blah, we do live in a city, so any trip to The day we arrived was the (sic) the country makes us go ahhhhh – and it was Sunday – a monthly open day the community hosts and each cluster of good driving day, good driving weather – and overall I’d houses take turns guiding visitors around the site. We had like to think we are in the objective business of objectively the good fortune to manifest Phil who has been part of the exploring garden based communities without grabbing hard community since the 70s, has helped build houses on site on the idolatry stick and yanking. and who is a rabid Richmond Tigers fan. Actually, now that I consider our day in the Moora-Moora community of Healesville with baby eyed perspective, one of the more remarkable facts is that this community has only very recently added a communal garden to it’s stocks after a good 30 years in the business of being a community ! And Phil – our intrepid host and guide for the Red Magnetic Dragon experience – actually grimaced when we mentioned gardening. “Give me a house to build anyday,” he told us as we potted gently around. “If you’re after information about gardens you’re speaking with the wrong fellow.” The right fellow turned out to be a Canadian chap called Luke, who was a new comer to the community and who – with the help of his partner – had managed to convert a healthy pot of land into a very happening garden, that not only provided for the members of the Moora-Moora community, but had a presence in the township of Healesville as well. The model they used to set up the garden is called Community Supported Agriculture. But I’m getting ahead of myself: First we had a Cosmic Sun. Then we christened Mattrik’s new studio (and called it Cosmic Sun – Dreamspell Geek Tragic Plus) – then we did Magick Flight between Tzolkins over a cup of gen maicha (an outrageously hot cup of gen

As mentioned above Phil is not a gardener but rather a builder who works within the township of Healesville and has helped create links with the ‘townies’ and the “hippies on the hill”. Firstly Phil welcomes us, Phil talks about the community gives us permission to record and then takes us into the main / communal area of the community, shows us a site map (600 acres although only 200 are cleared) and explains that the community is made up of little clusters of houses. Local council has given permission for the site to host 30 houses. After Phil’s introduction, we continued along to visit one of the newer houses being built. The house we viewed was made of straw-bale. Being such a mightily cold part of Australia, straw-bale is the recommended material and a Northerly advantage is a must. About 25 thousand is what a couple pays for a share in the community. Once you have a share, houses can be rented, or bought for between 55 to 120 thousand. If you seek membership you must start attending

the meetings and integrate. You can’t simply turn up and demand a front door key. Moora-Moora is not bound by a theme or common interest. There are no statues erected in the centre of the playing ﬁelds. No copies of sacred (yawn) texts ﬂoating around. No hymns and prayers overseen by the vacuous zealots. Monthly meetings are not compulsory. General obligations are kept to a minimum. There are rules (the most notable being the ban on cats and dogs) but generally it’s a place of community and it’s a simple and or as convoluted as that.

a project called CSA – community supported agriculture,” he tells us. “When we moved here from Canada we were looking for a place to set up a similar scheme. This place seemed ready made.” Phil, especially, seemed very positive and impressed by the garden – which – as mentioned above – was having a presence in the local township. “We buy shares in the garden,” says Phil, “and I love it. Every Wednesday we go and pick our veges. I haven’t eaten this well in years.” ‘Is this a long term venture?’ we ask Luke.

And there’s fresh water! “We have a natural spring up near the valley,” Phil explains as we walk, “so there’s always plenty of fresh drinking water.” Always a plus in Oz.

The Moora Moora natural spring

We probe a bit into the background of the community. “Actually,” says Phil, “ local council were really supportive of our proposal. We even bought the land through a government approved loan. I couldn’t imagine that happening today.”

“What we’re really hoping,” he replies, “is that we get more people in the town to become members. That’s the best way for the project to grow.” “This here is the best example of under-cutting globalism!” Phil enthuses at this point. “Local farmers providing the community with locally grown produce!” It was a good observation and well made. We looked over the valley from where we stood and breathed deep into the day. The land was simple and green and everything seemed easy. New things became possible. It was a return, a revival, a renaissance. A garden. That’s all it took to bring the humanity back to the planet. A garden and us in it. Digging. No, wait. I’m getting carried away. First day’s of Tzolkins tend to do that.

And what is the biggest challenge facing the community? “Well, not everyone is suited to community living,” Phil replies. “The big challenge is to get all the dysfunctional elements of our community working together. Unlike suburbia where you can ignore people you don’t like, up here, we have to live with them and ﬁnd ways of making it work. This year our big challenge is to set up guidelines for behaviour …” And how will they be agreed upon? “Well, we used to have meetings where decisions were made by consensus which is a nightmare, because the one person saying No holds all the power. Now it’s majority rules. A much better way to do things.” Anyway, the garden! Phil took us down to meet Luke from Canada who was jointly responsible for the creation of the garden - with all it’s lovely bits of bok choi and carrots and broccoli etc and etc and etc. We asked Luke if he had experience working with community gardens before and he said he had: “In Canada we were involved in

And so we bid Luke farewell and Phil walked us back to Mattrik’s corolla. We shake hands and thank him for his hospitality. Once inside the car we crank up the heater, put the Talking Heads CD back in the player and follow the dirt road back down the hill. Is this then, the future? Clusters of like-minded individuals gathered around fresh water springs and fecund gardens as we count down to summer solstice two thousand and um 12? Were we – from the glorious perspective of Kin 1 – seeing a glimpse of How Things Ought to Be? Or was this just another Sunday drive, another bout of nostaglia for the days before all this, before all this clunky industrial, cling-wrapped, whole-sale, mass produced guk we somehow refer to as the modern life ? Ah, relax, mate. It’s never too late. So let us grab hold of the spade, brothers and sisters - and together begin the replanting. Thanks Moora Moora

Bunya in Nature by Mattriks - Blue Self-Existing Monkey

While researching and coming up with possible story leads for this episode of 2C I thought of my friend Bunya. Bunya had recently been in Melbourne for a sustainable living conference, and had stayed in our home for a few days. During his stay with us I was reminded of his knowledge of natural lore, his humbleness and his humor (Bunya is very funny). Interviewing him was a great way to share in his journey. In the Dreamspell Bunya is a Blue Rhythmic Hand, kin 227. Hey Bunya. We wanted to interview you for our garden culture communities’ edition of 2C because of your involvement with community gardens and your love and knowledge of nature. We’re interested in creating the space for you to share some of that love and knowledge with our readership. Let’s start with what you’ve been up to lately. I’ve started this massage course, which has been a good delve into the Chinese medicine stuff…spending a fair bit of time picking up more notes and revising some of that. I’m teaching Tai Chi once a week and doing another class and being really strong with my morning practice, and of course a bit of gardening work a few days a week and playing around heaps in the garden at home. We’ve had so much rain there’s all this beautiful soil so I’m adventuring through this. The other thing is this team leader stuff. Did I tell you about this volunteer conservation work where I’m a live in team leader? Yeah you said something about it, what’s the story there? I’ll be taking Uni students from the Northern hemisphere who come over for two weeks and we go to lots of conservation places. So I’ve got to do lots of emailing and paperwork and getting presentations together. You’re Volunteering? Nah this is a paid gig for me the guys who come are the volunteers. I’m paid to coordinate it. Gotcha, how did you hook that up? I hooked up to this website that sends me out Australia wide environmental management info (http://www.nrmjobs.com. au), I go for weeks on end without looking at it, but I saw this job and thought yeah this one’s for me and went for it and got it. You’ve got a bit going on.

Yeah mate heaps at the moment it’s just about managing it well. A few burn out days but overall it’s pretty well balanced at the moment. So you checked out the last edition of 2C? Yep had a dig through, read some of the articles and it actually served to reinforce probably my strongest experience I’ve had with the Mayan stuff. Okay great tell us about it. Yeah a little while ago on the way back from Confest a girl from Italy who got a last minute ride with us was seriously into the whole Tzolkin thing. She was way into it and she went through everyone’s galactic signature and shared her insights and her explanations really resonated with me. For sure some times it’s the oral transmissions that really help the info to get through Well that’s it and on a long road trip like that we got a chance to focus and be with her for a while. Often I can be chatting to someone who is into it but unless yr committed to the roll of it for a little while it may not all ﬁlter through. True Yeah that’s it and I enjoyed the whole experience with her a lot and really got into the vibe of it. Okay yeah it’s a vibration thing hey, you get a feeling and it inﬁltrates… And hey yeah I really dug the artwork of the woman you interviewed in the last edition too. (Here was a bit of a digression as Bunya realized that he knew Even and we had a bit of a chuckle and a chat about all that and the history of connections in general.) Okay yeah so let’s get it back to community gardens and nature and all that. Let’ talk a bit about your background about how you came into this stuff. Sure, I guess growing up on acreage and feeling quite removed from greater society, I formed a really strong connection with nature and nature spirits, from what I understand in a dreaming sense, playing around with climbing trees and all that, and then later down the track playing in the garden. My family had a bit of a veggie patch and once I started playing around with growing life and planting seeds and nurturing and getting the rewards of the harvest you know…. Sure

Through schooling I did stuff like biology and agriculture and somewhere along the line I became aware of this concept of permaculture. I was always a designer I drew a lot and was always designing houses and had quite earthy and practical ideas from living on the land, and then I started reading books with permaculture design which had organic natural shapes that followed the contours of the land and had ﬂows and geometries that mimicked nature rather than the imposition of checkerboard shapes. That whole design ﬂow really appealed to me and some of the artwork in permaculture books was so inspiring, to see human landscapes that were so colorful and creative and abundant.

really need this ﬂow of energy and support that comes from these travelers who come and offer their energy. So yeah this was really the start of the notion that I don’t belong to any one piece of land, I wasn’t responsible for any one piece of land more than any other but that wherever I went I was part of creating community.

From here I landed at the Uni of Western Sydney at a students for sustainability conference, maybe about six years back now. And they had a little garden on the campus, well it wasn’t so little really it was quite big. There was a guy coordinating it and during the week of this sustainability conference I kept getting drawn So those seeds were planted in back there. During the conference childhood which took me into there was all this talk there was lots studying landscape design at Uni. I of ideas and exploration and for me really wasn’t into that right from the the garden was my outlet to be able start because there was no strong to put my hands in and kind of earth grounding in ecological design, there these ideas and inspiration. About were lots of good skills to do with six months later one of the guys graphic communication but overall it from the uni I had befriended there seemed to be about imposing, in an let me know that the guy who was ego sense, a creation onto land. There coordinating the garden had left and was a real baggage about our imagery the whole thing had gotten run down. around nature, you know these cleared From here I felt it was my calling to get land pictures of rural Australia, or the involved and I ended up living there classic English farmyard, where we for about 18 months and coordinated take on this role of imposing something the garden. Initially myself and a few rather than learning the subtleties of friends would go and have a cup of Bunya at the “Day Out of Time” what nature will create in an area tea and pull a few weeds, which in Midginbill, Australia, 2005. and how to work with that and help it were all about ten foot high after a along. Like the sculptor with the block summer of random growth. A while of wood that carves itself, the sculptor just removes what after that a food co-op moved onto the space one day a needs to be taken away for the image to come forth. week and this brought community and energy to a space that had been really only been getting drib and drabs. Nice image. And after your uni experience what then? Well yeah I left that after a year and started studying Environmental Science, which was about forest ecology, agricultural ecology and the more socio-political stuff. And then I took a break from that and did a permaculture course up in Northern NSW, and hung out in Nimbin for the summer and had lots of mind-expanding experiences (laughs). And this took me on a real roll of woofing (working on an organic farm) you know, going woofing for years really, spending lots of time on lots of different properties with people who had landed where they were and wanted to create food systems. And the woofing was really the start of the whole community thing for me, because a lot of these farms are often doing things that are quite out there for the areas they are in, and they are quite socially isolated often, and they

Similar to what you were talking about with Wooﬁng - how it needs the people to come through. Totally and this is the great thing about gardens, that you can know in a very mechanistic sense all the things you need to grow a good garden, you need good soil and nutrition and water and certain climates and microclimates for different things, but human energy, and how we respond to the garden, is, you know, life force. It’s the same as how we relate to each other. When you are in a space with love or passing through with awe and respect it really does feed the whole place. And so you were here 18 months, was that a paid gig?

No it wasn’t. Rightio a love gig? Yeah a love gig.

It’s a strong idea coming through that tending the human garden and the garden being life force and people being life force is the same process. Absolutely, as the revelation deepens it keeps coming back to that. The inner and outer reﬂection of self and nature.

So how did you support yourself in this time? (To paraphrase this section (it was a long interview) Bunya ended up, with the support of a local fellow, creating his role in this garden as a work for the dole project, before getting over the whole paperwork drag of this and getting off ‘the system’. Bunya explained how by the end of his time there he had learnt a lot about the ‘human garden’ and felt like he had facilitated a great space for people to connect with their own inner nature. He made it clear that the interaction with the garden and what this offered for people was more important than what was actually planted.) We pick up the thread a little further along the interview….. So now it’s like wherever I am is the Garden, and who ever I am with is the Community. Virtually any share house I’ve lived in for any length of time that’s what we have gone about creating too. Particularly when I was studying and living in Canberra I needed a really good physical nature outlet, and you know what the community space of a share house is, and when you go with that and are part of that and have an intention to put stuff in the ground and everyone wants to share that, I think for most of us that is one of the main ways that we are living in community in relation to the nature, and it’s about how much intent or energy we can put into that you know, and we can all essentially be part of that in our own spaces, and/or when you do actually have enough land. And living on my Family’s land what I’ve been developing through my years of traveling and always coming back to here and planting here, is in a way a family community garden. We all have different visions and don’t necessarily sit down and nut it out together as when people do when they intend to come together and create a garden but it still happens that way, we all do our thing and offer our own piece when we have the energy. I think when yr into community and into the idea of what gardening is, which is really about nurturing life, those elements we can take into many facets of life, it doesn’t have to be an organized plot of land.

This episode of 2C is the response to a perceived movement of humans moving towards living together in communities as a central theme of what is happening on earth right now. Obviously there is polarization and different pockets of society are doing different things but in your perception of it and the things you see and the people you talk to do you see this happening? Yeah I think its growing for sure and that those who are making steps on this journey, it doesn’t feel like they step back, they are moving deeper and stronger into the garden, and from this you don’t see the wasteland that is around. In a way it is a bit hard to put it into perspective in relation to all the other stuff in the world, but totally it is growing stronger all the time. When I was down in Melbourne recently for the community garden seed savers conference it was an amazing gathering of people from Australia and around the world. For instance we had a phone connection with Vandana Shiva from India and she was talking about the cutting edge struggles of rural India against multinationals and the global stuff like genetic modiﬁcation of seeds so that they don’t regrow and you have to purchase them every year. So lots of stuff linking the roots do it in yr own backyard kind of movement to the big global picture. That conference certainly highlighted for me how many amazing things are going on in Melbourne, and a number of international speakers rated what is going on in Melbourne as being cutting edge in terms of community garden stuff. It’s right up there, which was very inspiring. Did I answer the question? I think you did a great job of answering what ever it was I asked. (laughs) In summary, Bunya was an accommodating and gracious interviewee. We had another whole dialogue about the origin of his name which I have left out for space reasons, but would love to share with you at some stage in the future. Maybe we’ll be able to do Bunya part 2. Contact Bunya: bunyabee@yahoo.com.au

Dragonmill Community Compiled by Anna Krasko - Red Rhythmic Earth We are inviting people from all over Europe and the World to come and help out on our land, in Schweta / Mügeln, Sachsen, Germany

Along with the homestead is a big bakery house, a grain storage, and a barn with a cellar and a lovely chicken house. So many things to do !

Some might be willing to stay on in a more permanent capacity. We would appreciate some teachers to come this spring to teach with us permaculture classes - working with the land of mother earth to establish new gardens, sustainable technology and sustainable/ intentional community design: for example practical agricultural skills, ethnobotanic, ethnobiology, psychedelic paintings, yoga, meditation, building, consensus decision making....

All these buildings are cycling spirals around a paved yard overgrown with herbs.

community

Name of the Eco Island: Naturinsel Drachenmühle or Dragonmill. The Dragon mill island is surrounded by meadows, alders, smalls creek, ﬁelds and woods in direct neighbourship to a nature reserve area. In the distance there are pre-archaic christian hill graves [Hügelgräber], a deserted castle, a thing lime [‘Thinglinde’] of ca. 1200 years. The mill itself has been destroyed repeatedly. It’s most recent rebuild was in 1830 from ﬁeld stones and slate - the stones from the old building!

What special skills people can have a look at or learn at Dragonmill: - identify Flora (plants) and Fauna (animals) - Permaculture - Bio-Regional-Animism - to feel the natural rhythm in harmony with the dragon mill and its nature. - handwork/crafts : woodworking, laying bricks, mowing with a scythe, growing fence, sheep shearing,milking - self-supporting lifestyle: collecting wild herbs for salads and soups, making fruit and vegetable preserves, like chutney and marmalade, bread baking, cooking, collecting & drying herbs to use them in kitchen & for healing. Where to ﬁnd us: info@drachenmuehle.de http://www.drachenmuehle.de http://www.dragonmill.net

Descent of the Garden of E:RTH By Edward Brungardt - Yellow Planetary Warrior “To think we must eat. That blunt statement expresses a whole economy, and reveals according to the way we look at it, either the tyranny of matter or its spiritual power. The loftiest speculation, the most burning love are, as we know only too well, accompanied and paid for by an expenditure of physical energy. Sometimes we need bread, sometimes wine, sometimes a drug or a hormone injection, sometimes the stimulation of a colour, sometimes the magic of a sound which goes in our ears as a vibration and reaches our brain in the form of inspiration” - Teilhard de Chardin The physical necessities required to sustain life are basic. First, we and every other member of the family of biology require water. After water, we seek the transformations of energy from the sun we identify as food and medicine. Beyond that, the application of heat to the elements and biological output of Earth begins the ascent of man into the arts and decorations of life we have come to call civilization. Civilization, in the presumed history of humans, makes a late appearance. The general overview of Mans’ presence identifies ancestor apes a staggering 25 million years in the past. Discoveries in East Africa reveal a transition to manlike apes (hominids) some 14 million years ago. It was about 11 million years later that the first ape-man classified Homo appeared. The first being considered to be truly manlike, Advanced Australopithecus was distributed over parts of Africa around 2 million years ago; another million years and Homo erectus appeared. Finally, it is almost a million years later we identify the “primitive” human named after the site of their discovery, Neanderthal. The linear progression from Advanced Australopithecus to Neanderthal is demonstrated by the fact that their tools sharp stones - are virtually identical. Then suddenly and inexplicably, some 35 thousand years ago, Homo Sapiens (“thinking man”) appeared as if from nowhere and swept Neanderthal man from the face of the Earth.2

The new “thinking men” have been named Cro-Magnon. He was in every aspect of appearance, a modern man. His society was organized; he lived in clans; he drew expressively and feelingly upon cave walls; he worshipped forces, buried his dead, and depicted configurations of planets, stars, and the sun and the moon. He was in substantial ways, different than all previous types of humans In EARTH ASCENDING, an illustrated treatise on the law governing whole systems3, Jose Argüelles identifies two different aspects of the human presence on Earth. He identifies one stream of humans as being members of Aboriginal Continuity (AC) and another as members of Civilizational Advance (CA). Elsewhere he terms these same two groups as “people of the dawn” and “people of the book”4. People of the dawn, the aboriginal populations of Earth, were characterized as being ideally situated in an environment of minimal material development, possessing strong psychic connections with nature and being telepathic among themselves. Their reality view is a whole pattern comprehension of consciousness, energy, objects, nature and spirit. They view the present as springing into being from a future imbued with purpose and perfection. The people of the book represent a complementary but very different pulse of human presence. They depend upon visual orientation to the physical environment. They receive information in verbal sequences and mathematical bits. Seeing and sensing less of their environment through the sensual functionality of their physicality but more through the filter of symbol and language, they are less holistic in their outlook. It is convenient and logical to string together their perceptions serially. Finally, they draw upon the past to explain the meaning and significance of the present. The sad story of the people of the dawn is told in the rise of the people of the book. The conditions that pertained to the Aboriginal Continuity presence on Earth were most probably incomprehensible to the Civilization Advance

humans. We have already identiﬁed the virtual overnight disappearance of Neanderthal man upon the appearance of Cro-Magnon, the “thinking man”. There is substantial evidence that this disappearance was accomplished with violence and bloodshed, the ﬁrst recorded genocide.

Why, after millions of years of unchanging conditions for the people of the dawn did a radically new kind of human being appear? We return to the trauma.

The crux of the story involves DNA. This genetic material is made from light-encoded Barbara Marciniak, acting filaments - tiny gossamer as spokesperson for the threads that carry information collective of energy identified the way fiber optics systems as Pleiadians, tells the story of do. These light encoded humanity living upon Earth in filaments exist as millions times far more ancient than of fine, threadlike filaments any of the anthropologists inside our cells, while have identified. The physical counterpart light-encoded Figure 46: Enki, the Anunnaki master geneticist, and psychic functionality of filaments exist outside of the depicted as a deity surrounded by flowing streams those humans corresponds body.

Pleiadians attribute the qualities of consciousness of these people of the dawn to increased functionality, in comparison The trauma is said to involve the laboratory manipulation to modern humans, of their DNA. of DNA in a successful effort to remove ten of the twelve light filament strands carrying information to the perceptual organs of the in-body consciousness. “DNA holds the code. It holds the blueprint of identity, the plan for existence, the history of the universe, and There is plenty of evidence as to the identity of the culprits the history of life in this particular locale. And, it is and their motives. The story is told with precision and clarity stored within the cells of the humans. The original… in Genesis Revisited 6.

The people of the book do not share the same DNA configuration possessed by the people of the dawn. This is a major point and, indeed, a controversial one. To understand the differences and the reason for them is to discover the history of a great trauma. And, just as we might suspect, based upon our modern understanding of trauma and its effects, this story of rape, pillage and plunder has left an entire planet of humans milling about in an amnesiac fog trying to forget what they cannot remember. This is where the book makes its appearance. Before we go there though, a more fundamental issue presents itself.

The motive for the crime is equally in evidence. We learn from Hebrew text that the Elohim, a plural term meaning “gods” not “God”, decided to engage in a spot of genetic engineering “for there was no Adam to till the land”. Also there was no Adam to mine the gold of southeast Africa where the invading extraterrestrial Anunnaki had staked a claim. The problem was put to the assembly. Was there no other way to obtain the gold, asked Anu, the ruling personality? Yes, was the answer according to the Anunnaki’s chief scientist and Anu’s son, Enki. “Let a Primitive Worker (Adamu) be created”. And so he was created.

The Anunnaki, the Elohim of the Bible, did not create Man from nothing. As Sitchin puts it, “The being was already there on Earth, the product of evolution. For the sake of simplicity let us call the “creature” that already existed then “Apeman/Apewoman”. Their plan, by which they hoped to create a being intelligent enough to follow orders and use tools, was to “bind” upon the existing creature the “image”the inner genetic makeup- of the Anunnaki; in other words, to upgrade the existing Apeman/Apewoman through genetic manipulation and bring “thinking man” into existence.

to toil hard to grow his food. “By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread”. After that, “He” instructed Able to be keeper of herds and Cain a tiller of soil. The Lord instructed the emerging people of the book to become shepherds and farmers.

The tragic truth is these new “thinking men” were nothing other than the dumbed down result of a crime against humanity. The effect of the manipulation of the Anunnaki geneticists was to disconnect many of the information “The earthly element bearing light filaments, in the procedure for leaving only two strands, “binding upon” a those concerned with survival being who already and reproduction.

The task of obtaining the “divine” elements was Ninti’s who was to obtain a young god’s blood and It is said that nature abhors a vacuum. Similarly it is said that shiru (semen)… What had to be obtained from the one man’s problem is another’s opportunity.

In modern terms we would call him a hybrid.” ... It was in vitro- in glass tubes, as depicted in this rendering on a cylinder seal (see illustration). And, as I have been saying since modern science achieved the feat of in vitro fertilization, Adam was the first test tube baby… 9

The Book of Genesis echoes aspects of this story. In fact, Biblical scholars, Sitchin among them, have demonstrated that each of the Old Testament stories of the Bible are retellings of more thorough and detailed accounts from far earlier times. Principally, they are Sumerian tales, recast and represented for a new audience. Genesis goes on to tell us that Man, expelled from the Garden of Eden, had

and they were in search of a meaning they were incapable of discovering for themselves. That was not a problem for the creators of this new human. Obviously, the Anunnaki suffered from rather extreme cultural insensitivity and chauvinism. They were unable to appreciate the deep psychic and spiritual resources of the Advanced Australopithecus to Neanderthal line and simply decided, in a manner familiar to any modern industrialist, to utilize a natural resource. “Good breeding stock. Bit of upgrade and we can make it into something useful and profitable”, you can imagine them saying. It cannot be said the Anunnaki have no sense of irony. Is it not ironic that these planet-raping individuals arrive upon a sphere of garden like perfection, enslave the population, plunder and steal the flora, fauna, precious metals and stones – totally trash the primordial garden that was home to twelve stranded humans living in harmonious splendor and explain the whole atrocity by blaming it upon the sinful and flawed nature of the little lulus who knew no better.

The Anunnaki had a program to take care of any search for meaning that might appear within the mind of their new work ready thinking man. They told the lulus stories they claimed explained how they had come to be and for what purpose. The famous Baltimore Catechism of the Roman Catholics has remained true to the original message. Q. Who made us? A. God made us. Q. Why did God make us? A. To know Him, to love Him and to serve Him in this world and to be with Him in the next. End of story, now get serving lulu; mine that gold, till that ﬁeld. The Anunnaki eventually presented, over the course of the last six thousand years, a number of books to keep the lulus occupied. The Bible, Koran, Vedanta and Bhagavad-Gita and Torah and Talmud are some of the major contenders today. Whatever good advise they may contain for a struggling and bewildered lulu, what they don’t contain is any truthful representation of the actual reality in the heavens or upon the Earth. The Anunnaki were intent upon perpetual disinformation.

slaves up to manage the new franchise and – to make it all plausible-told the biggest lie ever told to hide their tracks. The “big lie” was designed to be an ongoing system of perpetual deception. In the lie, the plunderers became our Creator (the singular was a ﬁction to hide the non omnipotent nature and plurality of the gene technicians). The lot of the sons of God was to work compliantly according the will of God. Ever since, the lost lulus have been induced to seek a return to the garden. The story was cynically thrown into the face of humans as the myth of their downfall and the promise of their redemption. We can pretty well deduce that those clever dicks were laughing up their sleeves at the gullibility of their little lulus. But not clever enough; for all their technological brilliance the Anunnaki were unable to actually remove the genetic material of the Neanderthals. The best they could manage was disconnection and scattering. That was enough to bewilder but not forever.

People of the book have explanations for the degradation of conditions that have resulted in what so many experience as “the hard struggle for existence”. The Pleiadians take up the story The basic story for these people at this point. “Earth is now is that in “God’s” eyes we entering a conjunction or line up disqualified ourselves from “His” with purpose through which the direct and on-going presence in Original Planners are returning to our midst by sinful desires and reactivate the twelve-helix system acts. God wasn’t happy about in the occupying species- the that, so “He” opted to teach humans to date and put the Earth Depiction of DNA from Dan Winter’s Alphabet us all a good lesson and in the back on track”12.

are. The whole of Earth is intended to be the garden for the community of humans. Welcome to the Garden of E:RTH. In truth we have a birthright as incarnate residents of Earth to re-enter the garden. The original comprehendors and articulators of the noosphere, Tielhard de Chardin and Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky saw clearly that human biology was destined for triumph in universe. Their observations and conclusions were based upon penetrating observation and analysis of pre life geological processes, the appearance of life, the appearance of thought and finally the appearance of self-reflective consciousness. They were able to perceive that it is the very process of being able to “fold into” one’s field, to “enfold” by “sphere-acizing” that consciousness becomes increasingly individualized and intensified. Cutting a complex story very short, the success of humanity in universe is assured by an inherent pattern of enfolding that finally creates the psychosocial unity termed the noosphere. Perhaps paying the rent or mortgage is such a worry that we find it hard to swallow the assured success of humans on Earth. Buckminister Fuller, one of the twentieth century’s most creative thinkers assures us it is so. He even goes a great distance to describing how to accomplish total physical and material success. Toward the end of his life Fuller set down those principles and processes he describes as necessary for man’s survival on Earth but, once embraced, insure complete mastery of his environment. In his final book, CRITICAL PATH9 He begins his analysis by identifying an ever deepening crisis on Earth which he claims is brought about by cosmic evolution being irrevocably intent on integrating the diversity of life and its creative productions into an harmonious whole. He also claims the cosmic intention of the process is to make humans “omnisuccessful”. Such a life would be at higher living standards than here-to-for achieved. They would be sustainable and conducted entirely within life’s cosmic energy account. “Bucky” calls this initiative and revolution “valve-ing the “Humanity’s cosmic energy account consists entirely of our gravity and star distributed energy dividends of water power, tidal power, wave power, wind power, vegetation produced fuels, methane gas, volcanism and so on. Humanity’s present rate of total energy consumption amounts to only one four millionth of one percent of the rate of its energy income”.

Ninety-nine percent of humanity does not know that we have the option to “make it” economically on this planet and in the Universe. We do. It can only be accomplished, however, through a design science initiative and technological revolution”14 Universe” and he identifies an obstacle, one that has roots far into an Anunnaki organized past and into a suspiciously similar present. Tax hungry governments and profit hungry business, for the moment, find it insurmountably difficult to arrange to put meters between humanity and its cosmic-energy income, and thus they do nothing realistic to help humanity enjoy its fabulous energyincome wealth.” In the face of such recalcitrant attitudes how can humanity reenter the Garden? The entire edifice of Man’s preordained success on Earth and in Universe as described by de Chardin, Vernadsky, Fuller, Arguelles and the Pleiadians is predicated upon the powers and potencies delivered to each of us by our incredibly complex and successful biological bodies. As mentioned previously, comprehending and accessing the potentials of DNA lies at the heart of our successful efforts. The originators and authors of “the book” have made an insidious and largely successful effort to turn us away from our physicality in favor of shifting our attention toward a promise for better conditions in a “not Earth” but Heaven or its equivalent. Their success has been in great measure the simple diversion of our reason from common sense. It is common sense humans need pure water to survive. It is common sense to seek transformations of sunlight for our food and medicine. It is common sense to recognize that our lives should be organized individually and collectively to insure that we, our children, their children and, in turn, their children for seven generations into the future are assured of these necessities. As humans riding the crest of Earth’s largest gardening “Your body is designed as a self-healing system. If you want to be really healthy, wealthy and wise, you must be fully present in your body to use it most effectively. You can learn to eat for health and let your food be your medicine. Direct communication with the land will open new levels of energy seeding that can be coded into the food you eat. 15

wave ever we can take the advice of Dan Winter, Sacred Geometier Extraordinaire, into our own personal garden and set our heart to the task of inviting the intelligent waves of cosmic light to descend into our own personal space. “To know how to align long magnetic waves on the land into ﬂowers, grid engineering, is to teach a planet to hold atmosphere, to make coherent climate, to actually create gravity by symmetry. Our human role in this symbiosis is the electricity of our emotional ﬁeld, literally braiding feeling into environment. This is the destiny for biology; to metabolize starlight directly.”

Humans will successfully transmute the tyranny of matter imposed by their imposter creators and, through the process of noogenesis, enfold within themselves the spiritual power of the Earth’s original inhabitants. Then we shall dwell in peace and love in our Noo Garden of E-RTH.

Permaculture and Patterns of Creation By Shelley Kashina - White Lunar Worldbridger Aloha fellow (r)evolution creators and navigators. I’m going to tell a little story about my journey, inspiration and research into permaculture and patterns in nature. Over the years I’ve lived in many share homes around the land, ones in the city, in the forest, temperate and tropical. Each yard I would look upon like an empty canvas awaiting the opportunity to be seeded and express its fertility in the form of juicy fresh organic food. In the beginning stages this initial enthusiasm was often followed by the realisation that I didn’t really understand the relationship between seasons and planting, like when my coriander would go to seed too early because I planted too late. It was also followed by the re-realisation that I shared this beautiful land and earth with many other just as hungry critters: white moths, snails, birds and others. Both wonderful realisations that sent me on a quest to get wiser and connect. Summer just gone I attended a permaculture course taught by Geoff and Nadia Lawson. Permaculture is a system developed by two Australian’s, Bill Mollison who now lives in Tasmania and David Holmgren who has a flourishing permaculture property near Daylesford, VIC. As the name suggests Permaculture is about creating a permanent culture. Here is a set of the Permaculture ethics: •CARE OF THE EARTH, all living and non living things. •CARE OF THE PEOPLE, to promote self reliance and community responsibility. •RETURN OF SURPLUS to enhance the above. Permaculture is an in depth system with a focus on the human ability to mimic nature and create self-sustaining ecosystems for all living creatures to co-exist together symbiotically. Much of this human ability involves recognizing and observing patterns. The environment is and responds to pattern; from the tiniest microcosmic unseeable quark to the grandest macrocosmic universal expanse we can find links in pattern. By tuning in to patterns all around us in nature, plants, crystals, and the solar system we can recognise patterns within our own DNA and harmonise with the unified web of creation. Loving life, Earth to Universe. Mmm… I love geometric information. Activate the (r) evolution! Permaculture is an amazing ever-evolving system to observe, tune in and play with the nature’s patterns. It has solidified my quest to get wiser and feel stronger in my connection to earth and my place in the cosmos. I love watching the spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, root

veges, onion and all the other winter veges that I planted a few months ago thriving. If you missed the opportunity to plant for winter and feel like you’d like to wait until spring to get into it, you could start making compost now so that it’ll be ready to fertilise your gareden for planting in a few months. A quick simple compost recipe: A key to compost success is a ratio of 25:1 carbon to nitrogen. Carbon being, straw, paper. Nitrogen being your fresh food scraps, green plant waste, urine. The carbon will be your substance and the nitrogen will be a catalyst to generate heat and the decomposition. The ratio is general but important, too much heat/nitrogen will kill all the good bacteria and fungi that do the decomposing. Not enough heat and not much will happen except smelly rot. Once you’ve got enough ingredients to start a pile of about 1metre2 (size is also important to get the process cooking) ﬁnd a suitable space so you have space to turn the pile easily. Let the pile sit for two days then turn it so that the outside of the pile is on the inside. Once turned, water the pile until it wet enough that you can just squeeze water out of it with you hand. Repeat this process, turning every two days until you have well decomposed dirt, remember if you add more nitrogen add the right ratio of carbon too. You will probably stop adding new waste after about a week or two. It’s important to keep your pile aerated and ﬂuffy, oxygen also helps with breaking it down. You’re aiming for a temperature of about 60-65 degrees celcius, so it’s going to be steaming when you turn it. This temperature means that all the seeds will be killed, stopping weeds and grass growing in the compost. After about a month or so and when you’re happy with the way your new healthy and alive soil looks you can mix it in with some other earth in you vege patch and let sit for at least a few days. Then plant it up yo! Permaculture is not only happening in my backyard, its happening all over the biosphere. If you feel inspired you can check out the permaculture research institute website: www.permaculture.org.au Shelley lives in Melbourne and is currently studying Renewable Energy Tecnology. She is into Permaculture, esoteric anthropology, the healing arts, poetry, music and harmonizing with the Earth and Cosmos. She spent a dedicated year with the dreamspell and found it an amazing tool for aligning with galactic consciousness, and feels truly grateful and blessed for this. As a true worldbridger she has now ‘let it go’ and started looking at the long count and other celestial and cosmic cycles.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

interview with Clint Cassell Interview by Mattriks & Jonathan Rampant Dreamspell Geeks we are, neither of us can remember what Kin it was when we drove down to interview Clint Cassell – the 27 year old Blue Cosmic Night – artist extraordinaire – in his two bedroom pad in Elwood, East Melbourne. Dang. It was a Tuesday. I mean – a Seli day in Dream-Geek terms. Mattriks had band practise afterwards and was very conscious of having to leave in time to pick up his bro. Marlene came down with us. She went for a walk while we had our Clint moment. We picked her up afterwards. She’d eaten a pie and said it was delicious.

JONO: Are the symbols you put in your work consciously placed there ? CLINT: No they just sort of pop out … with my work I really don’t plan what I’m going to do … they just happen and afterwards I do a bit of a commentary on them. “oh yes, this means such and such.” But really they’re as much a surprise for me by the end of it as they are for anyone else. During the process as it’s coming out I will start to see what I think something is and I’ll bring that out … in that there’s a bit of a deliberate element but yeah – overall they’re feelings and are quite random.

We caught Clint just before he and his girlfriend moved up to Byron Bay, Northern NSW, for reasons including to be nearer to the sun, which Clint ﬁnds essential for the Creative Process … actually, later on he told us “my work is solar powered” …

JONO: What’s your creative process like ?

CLINT: Well it’s important I’m in the right place. Like many artists. Usually Clint displaying his work at his stall I start with a rough outline, usually in St Kilda pretty faint, then I go over it again, bringing shapes out. Then I begin at the left corner and move across – I do it this way so I don’t Let’s tune in after the subject of 2012 has been raised … smudge it with my own hand as I’m colouring it. CLINT: I was made aware of it quite a while ago … when I was young … I always had little signs. Either it got embedded in my art work or my art work attunes to it – MATTRIKS: But it’s something you’ve been aware of for some time ? CLINT: Yeah, people I’ve met and … it actually mostly comes through my art work. I draw a piece and go back and look at it and it’s almost as though it’s communicating with me. As weird as that sounds …

JONO: Do you have a sense you’re seeing a world or a realm or something ? CLINT: I sort of see … I see that once it’s ﬁnished – I’ve had a lot of people say to me ‘I could jump straight into it.’ Comments like that make me look at it and feel the same way. But as I’m drawing, it’s just a Feeling, an all encompassing Feeling. I guess I’m in my own little world, really, because nothing else penetrates it.

JONO: Not at all ! Art equals Healthy !!

JONO: Have you ever experienced block? CLINT: Well, when I’m working it can be hard to keep the drawing up. I obviously need to have a lot of energy for it. That’s part of the reason why we’re moving to Byron Bay – there’s a lot of good energy up there. When we were there last I just sat at a café and almost immediately I started drawing.

Clint leaves at this stage to show us examples of his work. He reveals his chosen medium a soft lead prisma coloured pencil on paper. His work is extraordinary up close. Very beautiful, very detailed. Dreamy, sci-ﬁ styles. Of other worlds, other states of mind. Sunset of the Old World © Clint Cassel

JONO: Can you explain a little more about what you said before about ‘the picture told me’ …

a stall at an open day and a lot of people had a lot of things to say about it. Someone said they had a dream like that. Another guy came and gave me the low down on it. He said: ‘this is another world and they’d be a reptilian race there and a war’, and I was like, ‘oh ok …’

CLINT: Well, when I look at a picture, an idea or a thought will come to me … sometimes when I’m with people I can get a Feeling from them and it comes out on the page … in fact a friend of mine who I drew years ago keeps telling me that the picture is becoming more and more accurate every day. That’s why I say on my website that I can do intuitive drawing.

There’s this woman that swears black and blue that she dreamt almost exactly this picture. (Transition) She came back to my stall 3 times and eventually bought the thing … JONO: So do you have a speciﬁc Mayan / Cycle Closing / 2012 opinion ?

MATTRIKS: Is that something you’re planning to do up North?

CLINT: I certainly believe there’s a lot of spirit activity CLINT: Yeh-yeh. Well, at the going on right now … or maybe very least I’m going to do the it’s always been that way. No, markets up there … but the there is deﬁnitely something Intuitive stuff I really enjoy. I going on. I keep getting nudges like people and I like how the and it wouldn’t be happening picture comes from both of for no reason. But more than Egypt and Atlantis © Clint Cassel us. these general nudges to get on with your Life – without trying MATTRIKS: Some of these symbols in these pictures look to sound egotistical –I feel what I’m doing is important and like crop circles. Have ever been into crop circles? is adding to what’s going on. Yeah, an old friend of mine said she was sitting on a beach in Hawaii – and she’d heard CLINT: I have seen them – I’ve never taken a massive about all this sort of stuff but decided she didn’t believe it – interest in them, as in studying them. But I’ve been into the but then she got a message in her head that everything was patterns and take a great visual interest in them. all ok and that everyone was going to go where their energy is taking them and so there’s no need to worry – and in fact, MATTRIKS: Is there a particular culture whose symbols it was actually a weight off my mind. But I am certainly you’ve been into? interested in seeing what’s coming … CLINT: When I was younger I was really into hieroglyphics. I remember sitting down with Egyptian books, studying them – this was when I was at primary school. At the time I decided to write my own hieroglyphics. So I really looked at how they did them and copied them. That’s really the only time … I remember I’d never seen Arabic writing before. And then I read this book ‘Abductions of the 9th planet’ – and after that I just came up with these symbols and some guy said to me, “man, that looks just like Arabic writing.” It’s funny people’s reactions to my work .. I had this piece called Another World which lived in the back of my wardrobe for ages and I didn’t think that much of it. But after a while I took it out and added more colour . Then I had it at

JONO: So what Time are we in on Earth at the moment in your Professional opinion ? CLINT: Deﬁnitely a new beginning. I know it appears that the world is dying and we’re all screwed and all that, but I don’t have a bad feeling and I don’t think I’d be here otherwise. All the material aspects can be quite depressing, but I ﬁnd conversations about that don’t really go anywhere and it doesn’t help anybody. At the end of the day, it’s all based on trust. 2C wishes Clint all the best for his new Time in Byron … www.clintcassellart.com

Ancestral knowledge of El Pueblo Mapuche In the Presence of the Sacred BY Felipe JarA Leon - Red Electric Earth Translation By Sandie Hernandez - Red Lunar Moon An interpretation of an interview of Ivan Conuecar Millan, a Mapuche, published in Chilean magazine Aldea Tierra, a free publication focusing on spirituality, art, ecology & education. El Pueblo Mapuche is an indigenous community in Chile. The Sacred The first understanding of the community & culture Mapuche is that all that surrounds us is sacred and all that exists in the cosmos has a spiritual force. The Mapuche see the sacred very near and know that a spiritual force, the Kalfu Pilli ( the blue spirit), is always with them. Plants, forests, rivers, mountains and all of nature has a spiritual guardian, gnen, that are to be respected, according to the Ad Mapu - the traditional codice of natural laws of the Mapuche culture. The Mapuche seek permission from these guardians before using any space or place for the purpose of life ie; fishing, killing an animal, tilling the earth to sow seeds, cutting down trees or drawing water from sacred springs. According to the Mapuche, everything is alive and must be respected. They believe that this is the fundamental difference between the mapuche cosmovision and the vision of the occident. The meaning of Life From the moment of ones birth, the Mapuche is preparing to become a che, a person with integrity, who acts with awareness and respect for all of life. They believe that ones journey and life experiences are directed towards becoming a che, then a kimche, a wise one. The elders of the Mapuche community are seen as sacred and are much respected for their life experience & knowledge of ancient laws. They are responsible for transmitting this knowledge to the community, for being sure it is not lost. Life in the Occident The elders feel that the west has lost it’s respect for life, that we don’t understand the sacredness of all that surrounds us. A stone is imbued with life, the river flows with life force, a mountain stands proud as it conducts energy from the universe to the earth, all is pulsing and radiating life! Ivan believes that the west has much to learn from indigenous cultures, not only the Mapuche culture. The respect for life in all it’s forms and our sacred existence are fundamental to a more peaceful, harmonious existence. The lack of respect for nature and the spirit guardians has left westerners disorientated. Confusion about the

Kukulkan © Jorge Sanchez Another monad companion existence of god and programming by political parties & fundamental religious groups has generated psycho-somatic illnesses, violence amongst neighbors, stress & anxiety and the breakdown of communities & family. They believe that all these imbalances correspond to the disorientation of western cultures. Family The Newen is the Mapuche spirit guardian of families. It helps to guide and unite family and community. Ivan believes that the west is destroying the integrity of the family, not because of traditional beliefs but because we need to nurture the home from where human life is born and where we begin to learn to be people of the earth. The Mapuche pay respects to the newen, supporting each other, working towards maintaining strong, harmonious relationships and creating a space to share, educate & grow.

Return to the Garden By Vasumi - Blue Rhythmic Monkey Cosmic Gamma 24, Red Magnetic Moon Spin Kin 48 Yellow Solar Star -- 12.19.14.8.19 A light rain patters the roof and birds are singing. I have just come in from feeding the chickens the leftovers of yesterday’s meals from three homes, all from this earth, simply grown and naturally organic. There were slops of old goats milk, tamarillo skins, and veggie scraps. In exchange those chickens gave us ten eggs today, and as I returned from the chicken palace with the macadamia trees growing healthy and strong, I stopped to pick some tamarillos for my breakfast. I know they are sweet but I cannot resist the temptation of adding the nectar of amber honey harvested direct from the hives on this beautiful land. How beautiful it is walking in the rain, with the trees dripping jewels of liquid and the mud sloshing under my gumboots. I give thanks for this beauty that I find myself in. This community has been vibrantly alive for the past 35 years and the earth reveals the harmony of that dedication to living and loving a natural life. Everything is growing and alive and giving food abundantly for 30 people on 70 acres, not to mention the honey, fruit, eggs and hay that goes out to the wider community. When people visit their eyes light up and they become excitable spores as they see the magic and wonder of nature alive with its bounty, not to mention the natural folks abundant artful energy reflecting itself in beautiful structures that have become simple and nurturing homes. I live in a little cabin, fully self contained about 6m2 where I have all I need of the indoors: a kitchen, bed, table, chairs, drawers and fire, and ‘Soulkin’, my computer and window to the wider world. After a spell connecting to online community in the deep of this winter (don’t expect anything from me in spring, the earth needs prayer, and so do I), I open my door to the magical world of nature and physical community. With dear friends living all around, new babies being born, children playing, gardening, goat milking, chook feeding and all the wonderful chores that help me know that community life is definitely more fun than any other. Today is Solar Star and in my delight of daykeeping, I inform others of the synchronic read out and as the community is naturally following cycles, they see the reality reflected

and can start to feel that this Dreamspell thing might just have something to it that helps with the next step, as a guide to advancing collectively. So time IS evolving in this little neck of the woods, as we garden, or gather for pot luck to celebrate the rerooﬁng of a yurt that houses a family of four, as we do yoga together, as we watch a movie at the one house that has a big screen. We are considering growing hemp (hemp absorbs more co2 than any other plant on the planet - grow hemp, say goodbye to global warming). Last night we watched ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ and I was blown away by the wonderful dedication and the capacity that one person has to create change, a person dedicated and moving forward, amidst setbacks and denials. Al Gore, I thank you for the inspiration that you have placed in my heart. As I thank Valum Votan, Red Queen and Bolon Ik for taking step by step forward in the important work of readdressing our Time. And I thank the people who have lived on this patch of our great mother, who with dedication have moved forward amidst setbacks and created an oasis that inspires others to do the same. Four years now of dealing with council and a neighbor who is involved in the munitions trade in Mid East, who donated a lot of money to council and then directed council to get rid of the ‘hippies’. Four years and 100 thousand dollars later, the ‘hippies’ won their court case, as the judge came and saw for his own eyes, the incredible inspiration of human spirit in natural alignment with the land that has created this oasis of nurturing. The judge also visited the neighbor, and in reply to questions about family, the neighbor replied ‘Oh yeah I got rid of the kids as soon as they were old enough to leave’ and to the same question, the ‘hippy’ replied ‘that is why we have built so many extra dwellings, as the children create families they will also need places to live’. Perhaps that was what sealed it for the judge. A reﬂection of 35 years of working with this land, this oasis inspires many.

Nine years ago my ex-partner and I renovated and extended one of the houses on this land, and added a big seminar space. We had a lot of help with this place, after initiating rainbow gatherings here in NZ and being very involved in the Convergence Gatherings near Christchurch for a number of years, many people who knew of our efforts came and helped and within 6 months we had completed another oasis on this land with its share of luscious veggie gardens and food trees. This was a wonderful example of how quickly self sufficiency can be accomplished with the help of with communal intention. This house has always been the community house, it is close to the river and on the flattest part of the land. The opportunity is now arising for it to be a 13:20 centre. It was built from spirits guidance, for planetary service work, and is now coming of age. I returned here in the Galactic Moon of this past year, thinking I was only visiting, yet it was with such simple joy that I arrived to the arms of old friends and this gentle earth where I have worked so hard and feel so grounded and realized that I had actually come home again. So here I am at home, listening to the rain on the roof and the birdsong, viewing the olive trees that grow outside my door next to the flax that is used for weaving and open to the calling of this land. Having just completed the co-creation of the 13 Moon Journal for this White Lunar Wizard year, it is now time to ground deeply into the earth for a space of renewal, and when the journals arrive from the printer, a tour beckons, to share and learn timekeeping ways with the people of Aotearoa. The Maori and Waitaha of this land, both trace their dreaming back to the Maya lands of Central Mexico, and I look forward to the connections and the magic of the ancient future wisdoms which will be uncovered as part of this ongoing synchronic order of prophecy.

NZ is a small country with a small population, yet a ripple is happening here. The land has had strong weather in the past months, as has most of our earth, and people are ready for changes. Blessed be those who are ready, and those who have the courage to take the steps, to living the dream of harmony that is present for us on this planet. Our spiritual evolution depends on our physical evolution, they are not separate. The deeper our roots, the higher our branches and the more simply we know ourselves as spiritual beings embodied in the divine physical. As we learn to respect the physical body of our planet, so shall we reap the rewards of spiritual attainment. It is truly not difﬁcult, all it takes is a decision, to trust and reconnect to all creation. Let’s surrender to the coming year of White Lunar Wizard, be receptive to anchoring the cosmic order in the physical dimension, and ground in the earth dream, for seven times seven generations. It is joyful and it is TIME, to return to the garden.

Community, to Dreamspell or not, and the Hollywoodisation of 2012 by Mattriks - Blue Self-Existing Monkey I’ve had a few interesting conversations, and sifted through various shifts and transcripts since episode two was uploaded into the Noospheric databases, all those kin ago. Being drawn along by the creation of episode three has meant that I’ve been exploring lots of different ideas to do with humans in community. The thread that has bound this process is a question that goes something like ‘What organizing principles and systems of cooperation can we adopt for the harmonious co-existence of people and planet?’ I’ve visited a number of communities as part of asking this question, and worked and played to find harmony in the communities that I belong to. I’ve noticed that there are an infinitely diverse spread of communities (football clubs, bingo nights?) that we may be involved with, and that all of them are learning how to cooperate with themselves, other communities and the earth to find sustainability, balance and longevity (whether or not this is a conscious process). In this issue of 2C we have been interested in the general concept of community but have taken a special interest in the ‘intentional’ type of communities that share a particular region of the earth as a living concept. Generally, intentional communities are off the grid or maybe moving towards being off the grid, have gardens with food in them, and have some kind of communally orientated focus that brings them periodically together. They also feel good to visit. It’s so very heartening to know they exist. The notion of community has become all pervasive. It feels like that to be able to define ourselves in the context of an intentional community involves a complete reappraisal of the human being. Without a clear approach to how we are going to live together any notions of multi-dimensionality and Noospheric emergence collapse in on themselves. It’s a thorough exploration of the base chakra of humanity we are after. What are we going to eat, where are we going to shit and where will we sleep? And with whom? (monkey joke). It feels like we are in the process of a radical restructuring of the whole construct of home, family and life. On my wall my personal vision manifesto reads ‘My relationship with my partner, my friends and my community is stable and inspirational’. On the table next to the chair over there is a magazine opened to a heading that reads ‘A village

to reinvent the world.’ I’m talking to the people I’m having most of my strongest emotional experiences with about how and where we may be able to participate in and help to create an environment that will enable us to evolve with dynamic flow and grace. It’s a big picture to map. We’re looking to land myth constructs that can accommodate the changes that are occurring in our region of the cosmos, and dreams that can help us to ground and anchor the energies being brought to us by these changes firmly in the earth of Mother Gaia. There have been a couple of other story bundles that have been strong enough to share space with the Garden/ Community theme, and they are both signaled in the title of this piece. The first of these, ‘to Dreamspell or not’, applies to the Dreamspell but is also about a particular type of energy that I’ve been thinking and feeling about. There is a strong theme with the Dreamspell transmission that humanity actually needs this calendar to survive the current crisis. That is, unless we all adopt this harmonic standard of time we are doomed. This is, you’ll agree, a big weight to carry around. It can even prompt the idea that other people need saving. This sets up a dynamic where one person or group has the answer, and other people need to get up to scratch. This is inherently an unequal approach, with one side knowing more, or better, than another. While we may or may not be reliant on the Dreamspell for our salvation, there is a certain feeling that arises when someone tells you that you must do something. It is this type of energy that I’m exploring with this ‘to Dreamspell or not’ thread. The response to a ‘must’ is the same one that Jehovah’s witnesses often seem to elicit. A few well chosen words and maybe the quicker than usual time that it takes to shut the door. My early years with all things spiritual were an investigation into this type of energy. All of a sudden I had some answers and other people needed to know them, whether or not they wanted to. It doesn’t seem to matter whether it is a fundamentalist religion, a meditation technique, a principle of how to eat well, or a belief about the nature of God, as soon as it becomes about getting other people

to agree with this idea they run for the hills, and the often well-intentioned person doing the convincing is suddenly a weirdo with a cultish agenda. In my own life this dynamic has led me to become much clearer about what to say, when to say it, how to say it and who to say it to. If I become attached to what another person thinks about an idea I’m having, no matter what it is, the tendency is for this person to disengage. This came up again recently when a good friend became invested in a group based self-help technique, and felt sure that it would be in my own best interests to do the same. Needless to say, the more I was pressed the more I felt the need to disengage. Funny that - it reminded me of times when I may have been looking to ‘share’ with people about the ‘need’ to adopt a 13 Moon standard of timekeeping yada yada. These days I’ve been more focusing on following my joy as well as I can rather than telling other people how they might like to live. This has created more ease and flow around my interactions. I’m not suggesting here that Valum Votan and all the Dreamspell Kin are running around banging people on the head with the Tzolkin stick telling people how to live their life, but, as with many other groups who know they are onto a good thing, there can be that tendency to get just a little bit excited. At the same time, enthusiasm and passion are so important and if we don’t have these in abundance then what’s it all about hey? So I guess it’s about being discerning with our excitement, and learning not to see the world or her people as problems to be fixed, but rather as friends we might share time with. While studying a wee dash of psychology during a massage course some years ago, the teacher offered the paradigm of ‘I’m okay, you’re okay’ as a helpful one to adopt when working with clients. My feeling is that this paradigm, despite all the very real needs for the atrocities and injustices of our time to be addressed, is a good one to adopt across the board. This relieves the burden of a broken universe that requires us to constantly go around and fix things up. These days I do my best to discard any baggage prevents me from connecting in the moment with whoever I’m hanging out with. Easier said than done but certainly worth a shot. The third theme I’ve been tuning into is this phenomenon I’ve been calling the ‘Hollywoodisation of 2012’. Specifically, the tendency of popular media to sensationalize and distort ‘truth’, in this case as it applies to the galactic event. My first consciousness of this as a concept was back in the day listening to one of the ‘Barbara’s1 channelings of the

Pleiadians. I remember her/them warning of a plan by the powers that be to hoodwink us into a fear based vibration of separation, during the lead up to 21/12/12. I’m not so into creating hysteria around ‘Them’ and what they are doing to ‘Us’ but I do think we need to be aware of what messages we are on the end of when we go check out a flick. We are witnessing the increasing exposure of 2012 and what it’s all about in movies, books, computer games, music, and other media, and it’s worth keeping the Pleiadian perspective in view. Lots of stories are coming up and they all offer different insights and challenges for the astute cultural sign reader. I recently steered in the way of the following site and info: Now that the millennium has come and went, Hollywood is looking for the next big Doomsday date. And they have found it. December 21st 2012 is the last date on the ancient Mayan calendar. Many have theorized that the day is the last day before the end of the world. The Roman Catholic Saint Malachy predicted that the last Pope would arrive in 2012, inciting Judgment Day. Some UFO theorists claim 2012 is the year aliens invade Earth (a plot also featured in The X Files). Some scientists also speculate that a polar reversal will take place on earth, and that “once the earth starts rotating in the opposite direction, natural disasters of unknown proportions may occur.” So far Michael Bay is already eyeing a 2012-based Sci-Fi film. And tonight it was announced that Nickelodeon/ Paramount has hired Tom Dey (Failure to Launch) to direct a 2012-based family action-adventure. I’m sure more Hollywood studios will follow suit.3 So here we have it folks, 2012 is a mainstream phenomenon, as it should be. I don’t feel quite so far out as I used to. A countdown is going on and Hollywood will no doubt have an angle to spin. Or several weirdly juxtaposed angles. The most obvious lead in here is through ‘Apocalypto’, which I finally got around to seeing last weekend. I hardly know where to begin. On many levels the film is beautiful. Indigenous wisdom, a triumphant love story, some real bad baddies, it’s all there. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. At the same time it was quite strange and difficult to make sense of some of the underlying story and motives upon which the story is based. The action is set immediately prior to

Here referring to Barbara Marciniak and Barbara Hand Clow, both well received channellers of Pleiadian energy and wisdom. 2 http://www.slashﬁlm.com/2007/05/16/2012-a-new-doomsday-for-hollywood/ 1

the arrival of Cortes, and the Mayans who live around the temples are depicted as a confused, physically sick and bloodthirsty people, a barely contained mob. The Pyramid is featured as a site for sacrifices, with no signaling of any profound timekeeping practices and messages for modernity about galactic alignment. Many things could be said here, and I’m not going anywhere near deciding about whether or not the film deliberately sets out to obscure the truth about the Mayan Cosmo vision (some have suggested it does). What I will say is that if someone saw this movie and had no other knowledge of Mayan culture; I don’t think it would leave them favorably open to accepting that Mayan indigenous wisdom holds some very important information for everybody alive today. Now Mel’s film doesn’t have to be the answer to everyone’s questions about Mayans of course. It’s a film, and films are for entertainment. But the important Mayan information that it doesn’t convey is not exactly on the 6.00 news, (and when it is, I’ll be very interested in how it is presented) so I feel it is necessary to comment and redress what is a distorted and potentially harmful depiction of Mayan people, by bringing to the reader’s attention another film that does come closer to the mark, namely, ‘The Fountain’. John Major Jenkins has made the following comments about his preference for this film over Mel’s: Now, if you want to see a film that conveys an essentially Maya view of time and the meaning of sacrifice --- see Aronofsky’s new movie release The Fountain.3 I was very happy to see this film, and although it wasn’t totally satisfying, it does convey the fact of the ‘dark rift’ being an essential part of the Maya Cosmo Vision, and it is heartening that a film of this substance has made it to the screen. Of course it didn’t enjoy the same commercial success as Apocalypto, but it features a well known actor, Hugh Jackman, and can be found in your local video store, so it is accessible. It is also an encouraging sign, given that we seem to be at the start of a spate of media depicting Mayans and 2012 in God knows what light. Although ‘end of the world’ apocalyptic films have been around for a while, it’s certainly going to be interesting to see what comes up. On the same thread cited earlier, Jenkins sums things up well by saying: I hope that as the cycle ending of the Maya calendar (December 21, 2012) draws near, the pop media can do something more honorable with the Maya, 3

considering that they were advanced scientifically in ways we are just beginning to understand. Furthermore, as my research shows, their understanding of the cosmos transcends mere science; they formulated spiritual systems and metaphysical cosmologies that the average audience member who is lashed with endless images of Mayan barbarians slicing out hearts would be unlikely to grasp without extensive study.6 So there’s been a fair bit to sift through for sure. The Community thing has been so strong but these other two threads just had to get a look in. Which makes for a less cohesive article or at least, one that requires a more imaginative conclusion. While working on the last episode I went and stayed at Bundagen, a community on the north coast of NSW. This set me up to be immersed in the theme. Following this I had a flow of experiences. I had the good fortune to interview Bunya around his insights about the garden culture theme, and I got a good feel for the lives of the Moora Moora community by being shown around by Phil on their open day. I’ve worked toward harmony with the people and plants and food in my own living experiment (two couples sharing a house together), and I’ve instigated moves toward being part of an intentional community. My dreaming about how to live in connection with each other and the earth has been expanded and enriched by these experiences, and by the fabulous contributions of other kin to this episode. While exploring this, I’ve been keenly aware of what is going on in the media about 2012 and Mayans, and I intend to keep a good eye on what goes on there. I’ve also been strongly engaged with the type of energy I described in the ‘to Dreamspell or not’ section of this piece. I do Dreamspell and I love it and it works for me. That’s enough. I’m always eager to talk about it and share but I’m not really in to trying to convince anyone they need it. I’m learning to balance my enthusiasm for sharing information with the fact that sometimes people don’t want to hear, and that’s just fine. I’m up for focusing on the Garden, and the blossoming art spores that connect everyone’s Gardens together. Mattriks is a blue self existing Aussie Mayan.

Dreaming at the Tree Gate by Nick Cumbo - Blue Rhythmic Night When I was 17, my dad gave a copy of Carlos Castaneda’s book, Tales of Power; one of a series of books in which Castaneda writes of his apprenticeship with a Yacqui shaman/sorceror called Don Juan. In the past there’s been alot of controversy about whether or not the character Don Juan actually existed. What seems important is not so much the accuracy of the names and the places, but rather what the book alludes to - the presence of an invisible, magical reality, at work behind the scenes and circumstances of the surface world. I took with a special fascination, for example, to Don Juan’s advice that each of us has a dreaming double - a counterpart in the dimensions of dreaming. I set out to meet mine. Over the course of a number of months, I practised Don Juan’s instructions for accessing the dreaming body - our vehicle for travel in the dreamtime realms. Every few days, I’d remind myself that I was going to look for, and find my hands, in my next dream. I believed that if I were able to focus intently enough on this single act, then over time the bridge between the waking world and that of my dreams would strengthen significantly. Eventually I would find myself following through in the dreaming state - looking upon my hands, suddenly aware and fully conscious that I was dreaming! This practise or state of mind is more commonly known as Lucid Dreaming, and the techniques to attain it varied. Keeping a dream journal, and writing in it regularly are a great starting point. Once lucid, you can either float along on the wings of the dream, or act with a volition and willpower, like that we use to navigate the waking world. If I become lucid, then I can (to a certain degree) do what I want - communicate, play, and ask questions of other dream characters, or fly, and travel to other-worldly destinations I may never have seen before. I think here of places that myself, and other friends have visited: pasQuale’s Museum of Lost Memories, my Big Book Library, another dreamer’s Lucid Dreaming Training Center. Once I began lucid dreaming regularly, I had the good fortune to join a group of dreamers online. We shared our experiences by email, and practised dreaming with one another. We attempted numerous projects, with varying success. One project was to meet each other at a roundtable, another to intentionally travel to a lost city in Antarctica. We were not always as successful in our tasks as we might have liked, yet all the same we began to notice unusual overlap of dream content. I am certain we

benefited greatly from the opportunity to discuss aspects of conscious experience, which we might otherwise lack the words to describe. It was awesome to have a group of people to share my passion for dreaming with. The experience filled a gap that was definitely present in terms of my face-to-face communications with family & friends. One day I decided I would put a small booklet together, a travel guide of sorts, complete with pictures and accounts of dreamer’s travels to unusual and spiritually powerful places, perhaps even a few additional tips on lucid dreaming. I wondered - if this booklet were real, maybe it already existed in the dreaming realm? Could I take a sneak preview? I spent a large proportion of the day focused on the task. I imagined the booklet in my hands - the texture of the paper, the colour images inside. I told myself that I would search for it, when I awoke in my dream that night. Affirmations work a treat. After a deep sleep, I once again took up the visualisation; my mind slightly awake, gently resting on the goal. Soon, vibrations began to coarse through my body. I knew now that my dream body was splitting from the denser physical plane. I followed the feeling it awoke within me, until I found myself in my bedroom, completely lucid and aware that I was dreaming.

THE WEST COAST

Self-Existing Kali 18, Red Planetary Moon Spin Kin 150 White Resonant Dog -- 12.19.9.13.0 I think of the booklet, and intend it to appear before me. Before long, I see the outline of pages bobbing up on my inner field of vision. It seems to be more like a book than a booklet - I find myself turning through a multiple-page alphabetical index. Various images and pages follow, with one of particular significance - a map of the USA, with one of the state boundaries clearly outlined. I hear the voice of a man speak over the dream itself, “The West Coast”, as I woke up very pleased. Not only had I received confirmation that I might someday publish a work of my own, but I’d also received a definite clue as far as a location was concerned. At the time I was as unfamiliar with the state names and boundaries of the USA as someone

from that part of the world might be with the states and territories of Australia. My excitement started building the moment I saw that the state of Oregon had exactly the same shape as the state I’d seen in my dream. There it was, right on “the West Coast”. All the same I was hoping for a little more precision. The west coast is a big place. I asked for another dream.

THE LONGEST TREE

Self-Existing DALI 22, Red Planetary Moon Spin Kin 154 White Spectral Wizard -- 12.19.9.13.4 I’m in a car with Aaron (the elder brother of Ryan - my best friend back at primary school). We are driving on a highway, and seem to be on a getaway journey. Aaron tells me that Ryan left his “Ouija board there” (at our destination). I’m more concerned that we’re traveling in the reverse direction to all the other cars, and along the same lane. What if we crash? Somehow we manage to stay out of trouble. We stop driving, and as the road crosses another, we begin up a dirt road. It as though Aaron is cycling, carrying me up. We reach the top of the hill and the road turns right. I can see a street sign with the name of the road that we are heading into. We continue walking up the road - just the two of us. Aaron points out a tree on our right, among the forest. It’s fallen over, laid down in the undergrowth below. He tell’s me it’s the “Longest Tree”. I see the end of the tree to my right, “Wow, it is long”, I remark, focusing on it’s appearance. It’s surface is ridgy and brown, even moist. I am reminded slightly of decaying wood. As we continue along the dirt road/path, I watch a newspaper ﬂuttering down from the sky. It hovers in the air, about 100m away from me, before ﬁnally landing slapbang in my hands - a freak of nature! I think to myself, “It must be a sign”. The newspaper is turned to the exact place I’m at.

Now things were getting interesting! I recorded the dream in detail, and excitedly shared it with my dad at the breakfast table. He was quite sure the dream was generated from bits and pieces I’d picked up subconsciously, but he threw in some advice regardless. He pointed out that the tallest trees could probably be found in Tasmania (they come close), yet if I was sure about one thing, it was that these were from America”. Eventually, I got what what I was looking for, “the redwoods”.

A map of the West Coast showing the distribution of Redwoods

I was straight onto it. I rushed over to my computer, and started searching Google for whatever matches of the words “redwood”, “oregon”, and “west coast” I could find. As soon as the pictures of the Redwood trees that inhabit the west coast of California, and the southern tip of Oregon came scrolling into visibility, I knew that these were the same as I’d seen in my dream. I was overjoyed. While, it was true that the Redwoods were some of the tallest trees, I knew that if I could find a place name then that would bring it all together for me. I wandered the net for a while, suitably entranced, until I came to realise that my dream had been very specific - I’d been directed not just to the “tallest tree”, but the “longest tree”.

A few taps on the keyboard, and the answers fell right into my hands. Found in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, the world’s longest tree is known as the Fallen Dyerville Afterwards, I am walking up a ramp, Giant and is estimated to be some The upturned roots of the Fallen Dyerville made from a tree.

The ﬁrst tree toppled a second, and that one brought down the giant. No-one saw it happen.”

The coastal redwoods are ancient creatures. Their scientiﬁc name is Sequoia sempervirens which means “ever-living”. Redwoods blanketed much of the northern hemisphere over 100 million years ago when the climate was warmer and wetter. A mere 150 years ago California’s western edge was still dominated by an ancient redwood forest the size of Connecticut. Today, less than 3% of that original forest exists.

We spent a night there, before heading down through the Avenue of the Giants, a 32-mile (51km) scenic drive which parallels Highway 101, and is surrounded by the Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Making our way to the Rockerfeller Forest in the late afternoon, we wandered through the tranquility of the Founders Grove, breathing in the fresh air.

The Humboldt Redwoods State Julia Butterfly Hill Park is home not only to the longest tree in the world, but also to the incredible story of forest activist Julia Butterfly What a treat it was to finally find the Dyerville Giant there, Hill who only a few years earlier had made headlines by lying across the forest floor. It’s size was remarkable - the undertaking the longest tree-sit in the world.

The Gift of Winter By Sandie Hernandez - Red Lunar Moon The gift of food is a sacred offering. Accepting and eating is an act of love. A sharing of cultural significance, respect, gratitude and joy. The art of cooking and preparing food is one of intuition. Smell, touch, taste, seeing, a feeling in the belly are the most accurate measures. Food is a great healer. Through indigenous knowledge and self-study we may discover incredible healing properties of foods, many used medicinally in times of illness. Food has developed in many cultures to coordinate harmony between the Self and Nature. As keepers of this blue planet we may tread softly on her damaged parts, regenerate through cultivating indigenous plants and creating sustainable garden culture communities. The gift of intelligence allows us to help nurture peace and awareness. Food is fundamental to our physical existence and the kitchen is the warm heart of our homes. Let us chose with awareness the food we grow, harvest, prepare, cook and eat so that we may bring harmony into our inner and outer environ-ments. Winter is a time of deep reflection, a time to warm our bodies with nourishing & sustaining food and a time to really nurture our selves, families & fellow kin. Ancient cultures established the connection between various foods, the seasons & the elements to our internal organs, each in accordance with the environment from which they evolved. In Chinese physiology, winter is governed by the water element which affects the kidneys & bladder. Dark colored foods are beneficial to these organs - black beans, aduki beans, black rice, roasted rice, roasted millet, roasted seeds and seaweeds. Root vegetables are of a contracting, warming nature. Combined with beans & grains, simmered long & slowly or roasted with warm spices & sea salt, help to create internal warmth. In Australia, we are now passing the coldest season of the year. The Day Out of Time gives us the space to share our internal processes with kin, without judgement, freedom to speak and freedom to create, to sow seeds for future collaborations and abundant garden culture communi-

ties. The time is open to stoke the ﬁre, prepare and share a communal meal and give thanks to the abundant blessings of this earth.

Gatherings of Galactic Garden Culture By EveN DawN - Red Crystal Serpent

Like mushrooms which push their gleaming tops up through moist pats of poo and decaying matter, so too tipis, domes and tents of all descriptions appear virtually overnight in fields and open spaces across the Earth. A particular strain of the human species occupy these clusters of temporary dwellings. Whether these humans have gathered for the sake of music, dance, art, expression or sheer celebration, they have had enough cause to take leave of whatever routine existance they may normally maintain, to make it to an outdoor event - commonly known as a festival, that which I have come to define as a Planetary Gathering. What an effort it is at times to attend some of the less accessible events that occur: decifering directions from ambiguous flyer art, travelling over long distances to obscure locations where the locals (hopefully) won’t complain about the noise, the challenge of squeezing everything required for surviving amidst the elemental playground of Nature into the back of a car, camper or backpack, risking the likelyhood of whole evenings full of music you aren’t really that into being played at high volume, and not to mention deciding which of your favourite festive outfits to wear.

Mushroom Photo Montage - EveN DawN Blown Glass by Bodhi Seed - Yellow Crystal Human (reproductive organs actually) visible above the ground, circles, parties, festivals and all autonomous gatherings of earth dwellers are an outward indication of an occurance which is actually more wide-spread than may be immediately discerned. The body or mycellia network of a mushroom can sometimes occupy thousands of times the volume of the fruiting mass in a rootbase underground. Each little shroomie being one tiny part of an interconnected whole.

Mushroom metaphors aside, what makes me think that the future evolution of humanity is happening right before (and between) our eyes, anytime we attend a bush doof, rainbow gathering, trance party or folk music festival? The basis for coming to such a conclusion is that the culture of outdoor gatherings is nothing new at all. It is a continuation of a far-reaching heritage of nomadic corroborees, gypsy caravans, celebrated feasts and fairs. There have always been those who love to get down for a shindig when the moon is in full bloom and know how to ‘shake a leg’ when they see signs that the seasons are starting to turn. So too in these times there are earth dwellers who have retained their sense of the human species rightful, artistic role in relation to the whole. I consider festival goers to represent the emergence of the These humans are returning to a style of living which coming culture of life on planet Earth. Just as the fruits of aims to exist in accordance with the well-being of the mushroom organism are the only parts of the fungus the planetary life-support system, the Biosphere. So what is it that draws so many people across the many walks of life to this variety of events which occur with steadily growing frequency? What brings us out of our homes and hovels time and time again to stake out a little piece of the action to call homecamp? Perhaps it’s the natural spaces we crave, though we’re not likely to get much peace and quiet. Not untill the sound system is turned off and the geany is packed away. Maybe it’s the entheo-ambient-trance-dance music and all the original art splashed around the curious venues and village-like stalls? Or, is it the artful variety of fellow festival attendees, some of whom are indistinguishable from the surrounding art installations themselves?

As more homo-sapiens come to realise this function a collective state of self-reﬂective awareness is attained, raising humanity into an evolutionary phase termed ‘homonoosphericus’ or the evolved planetary human. In this way do we evolve along with the Earth, in attendance with the advent of the Psychozoic Era of post-history described by Russian scholar Vladmir Ivan Vernadsky. As an adept of the 13 Moon Synchronometer, a Chrononaught if you will, I acknowledge the great importance of this time and the part played by the apparent frivolity of cultural festivals. Events like those described bring the more reclusive minds amongst us out of the hills and hideaways to share insights into recent unravellings of Life’s mysteries. These gathering sites are the meeting grounds of the AltarNation, the pro-Native movement towards collective recognition of the Sanctity of Nature. On the danceﬂoors, throughout the day and night there can be found devout dance pilgrims from a diverse spectrum of cultures, some having trekked land, sea and sky to make their offerings of movement on that particular place on earth. The language which unites them all is expressed through the art and the music. It is a communion I sensed as I murmured into my beloved’s ear One Time over the booming bass “everyone understands the meaning of DOOF, Doof, doof, doof...” What does it all mean then, this incessant dancing, swinging, stomping and shaking? To me it represents a natural lifeforce impulse, a response signalling that we are all alive, and we know it! We are equipped with sense organs which allow us to percieve with wonder the experience of existence and we’ve discovered how to amp up just about all the parameters that our sensory input organs can sustain. I would wonder about the sustainability of it all, considering the waste and disturbance a large gathering can incur if it wasn’t for all the signs which convince me that the festival culture is evolving, maturing into a more responsive and responsible party animal. I was impressed at the last gathering I attended (Winter Solstice FNQ - PsyTek Productions) to know that all the human waste being collected there was being converted into usable compost or Humanure - thanks to Natural Event (keep changing the world from the bottom up!). It showed me that as we reconsider the function of all forms of waste we will trancend the mindless consumption of historic materialism. Instead of going to festivals to get out of it, we are going to get into it instead.

spun a rainbow serpent songline which spirals from the west and south coasts of the island continent of Australia, up the east coast in time for the total solar eclipse visible from Far North Qld (13th Nov 2012), and across the northern reaches to activate the continental center by the summer solstice. As this was described by Robin to myself, I envisioned patterns being left behind by each party site, these beautiful crop circle like mandala gardens left from where we had been. I’m sharing that vision with you now, because now is the perfect time. We have time to dream up a network of interconnected landbases, prepared to accomodate a massive exodus of earth dwellers. People who aren’t waiting to see if anything happens in 2012, we are the ones who have decided to make the manifestation of our highest dreams what happens! Everywhere around the world this movement can and will occur, we have what we need now to realise this grand vision’s quest. Come together, form a Planet Art Network node, ﬁnd a suitable landsite near you and activate that site on a regular basis, starting with a circle of intent. Gather on Crystal Days to cultivate the land, hold events on the solstices and equinoxes, as well as the Noospheric Pause Points of the 13 Moon Synchronometer. When we celebrate these days it is like transmitting a pulsing signal that the spirit of the Earth is still alive! Request that the intelligence of Nature show you how to assist the landsites to support a travelling convoy of conscious kin. Research permaculture and geodesic design principles. Dig composting dunnies and food gardens. Plant bamboo and building materials for kitchens, shelters and circular stages. Cooperate, communicate, cocreate, it is your heart’s intent. Be ready for the launching of Timeship Earth 2013. Together we create Planet Art!

I’ve had visions of what we’ll be getting into. They’ve come through talking with my friends and kin about an event that’s so shmicko it’s causing ripples in space time. Seven years before the Galactic Synchronisation Solstice (21st Dec 2012) I was already hearing suggestions being passed around about what kind of gig we could anticipate.

Codon 19: Wizard’s Aspiration Way of Wielding Power Shapes Space “To wield true power one must become the simple fool seeking to become a wizard. The power of shaping space comes from emptying the space in which you ordinarily dwell, that is, debunking your heavy-laden consciousness of all its pet beliefs and becoming like an empty vessel, joyous and receptive. You are joyous because you are free to receive from the spiritually nourishing power of the higher dimensions. Then, whatever thought arises will have the power to shape the space in which it arises.” ﬁrst quarter of the white lunar wizard year magnetic moon 1 - self-existing moon 7 july 26 to october 24, 2007 Artwork By Ceel - White Galactic Wizard
