10/27/2008 - Like Father Like Son

I went to lunch with Leo today. We discussed personal lives, politics and the Mayan calendar. I was fascinated to find that the calendar's proposed end of the world (December 20th, 2012) is actually the end of a 2600 year cycle, called a b'ak'tun. This timing seems to align with the current transition into the age of Aquarius and historically with the beginning of Leo age approx 13,000 years ago.

Key numbers in this calendar are 4, 13 and 20 which represent different cogs which rotate in different ways to display the dates of the calendar.

Leo's point about the alignment with these and other calendars is that it seems that the world in general has had more change in it over the past eight years then it has in a long time. We discussed the possibility that these changes may continue until 2012 when a global consciousness shift occurs signaling the arrival of the Aquarian age.

I also asked him about the significance to him of the KJ suited from the other night. He, before even hearing the context of the story, said something like this of the two Major Arcana cards: "I would say the King represents the father and Jack the son...a representation of the coming together of two worlds, the spirit and the physical and the knowledge transfer between them."

Comparing the numbers in the Mayan calendar and the poker night I find the following:

-A pair of four's won the hand (4 being important in the Mayan Calendar)
-K is card # 13 in the suit (13 being important as well)
-J is card # 11 in the suit (No significance that I can think of with 11 and the calendar)
-Maybe there were four King's, four Jack's, two four's and four players who did not fold (4+4+4+4+4 = 20, the third number...hhhhmmmm)

Was my presence the reason for this synchronicity? Was this just another way for the universe to let me know that I am still walking the path in the correct way and it is leading me to enlightenment (even at a poker game?)

10/24/2008 - Poker Night

I played Texas Hold'em poker Friday night with some friends. This was a relatively mundane evening with no exceptional happenings until I walked away from a hand I had just folded. When I returned to the hand everyone was standing up talking about it. It turns out four of the seven players each were dealt King-Jack of the same suit. The players were all amazed at about how unusual this was and how they had never, in a combined 50+ years of playing poker, seen such an improbable hand. All of the KJs hands were beat by a pair of fours. I was not sure what this all meant, and since I was not in on the round I figured it did not necessarily pertain to me anyway.

BTW: the number of possible hands in a seven player game is ≈1.2674 x 10^17 (more than 126 quadrillion) and I believe the probability of this hand is approx 1 in 832 Billion.

9/21/2008 - Stonehenge

I had the opportunity to do a public seminar for the Order today on Stonehenge. It was a wonderful exercise and allowed me to learn so much about it.

My wife and I were privileged to visit Stonehenge back in 2002, so it has always had a place in my heart. It is quite amazing that something built more than 5000 years ago still stands today.

Here are some of the great things I learned about Stonehenge:

• The Aubrey circle, built of 56 holes in a circle outside the most notable Sarsen Circle, is actually a calculator when used correctly will determine the exact date of solar and lunar eclipses with 99.8% accuracy.
• Bonnie Gaunt, using the Gematria value of "Lord Jesus Christ" (3168), believes that Stonehenge is a message from God verifying his existence. She says this because she calculates four times the diameter of the earth at 3168 mi, the combined distance from each planet to the sun is 31,680 mi. and the circumference of the Sarsen Circle to be 316.8 ft.
• I do not necessarily agree with this because: the average earth diameter is 7918 X 4 = 31, 672 mi, the Sarsen Radius is 52.2 ft = 327.8 ft circumference and I do not see why God would use British measurement to communicate to humanity.
• Bonnie also thinks that the station rectangle, a rectangle made by four stones in the Aubrey circle which align with the rising and setting of the sun and mood at different times throughout the year, when bisected points at 117 degrees off of north to the Giza Pyramid at Khufu.
• I give her that as the surveyed location of of the stones which are gone or have been moved over time vary (117, 117.1, 117.2, 117.38 and 117.415 degrees) and the actual angle to Khufu is 118.130 to 118.22 degrees depending on who is measuring. I can see the probablility of the Pyramid alignment. BTW, the distance is 2234.309 mi.
• This got me to thinking about what bisecting the rectangle the other way would reveal. Using gross estimation I discovered that the line travels south into Africa and could align with two villages in the middle of the Algeria in the Sahara (El Golgea or Laghouat [near Messad]). If you bisect each leg of a giant triangle as in the below image, the nexus is somewhere in the Mediterranean near Sardinia (ancient Tyrrhenia) which was at one point in history a potential location of Atlantis.
• I found it even more coincidental when I was referred to a book about Cleopatra Selene (meaning moon) II or VIII, the daughter of Cleopatra VII and Mark Antony, potentially spending most of her life in the British isles and may have influenced Stonehenge. I learned that her husband, with whom she is buried back in Egypt, was Jubba II, King of the Moorish empire at the time which encompassed Algeria and most of the Sahara.

I really enjoyed researching and giving the presentation.

9/04/2008 - 46664 - G15

Gong #15

Synchronicity has been slow for a little while. The universe is probably letting us recover from the loss of Shuga. :(

Yesterday I got a check from my previous employer for 401k rollover. It amounted to $4,666.40. I thought it was a mystical sounding number, but did not think twice about it.

When I turned on my car this morning and guess what the mileage was: 46,664. I thought this was cool, but what did it mean.

When I got in my car at the end of the work day, I looked at my mileage and found that I had misread it. It was actually short of the 46664 by a few miles. I found that on my way home from work it would hit the 46664 mark and wanted to take a picture for posterity.

As I like driving fast, I found myself racing a white Celica near an on ramp to north bound I-25. I decided at the last minute to not enter the freeway and follow the car I was racing and instead went past the freeway and watched the odometer. When I hit the 46664 mileage I turned off to a side road and saw in front of me a police car, fire truck and ambulance responding to an emergency. I took the picture and drove back to enter the free way a few miles north of where I left the Celica on I-25.



When I entered the freeway, I noticed a wreck directly in front of me and guess which car it was...the white Celica. This whole coincidence seemed to save me from a potentially bad accident. I wonder what would have happened if I had not heeded the warning. I will never know for sure, but it sounds probable and the whole thing is definitely amazing!

8/29/2008 - Sea Legs

My son and I were driving home this afternoon and were stuck in traffic. It was a typical New Mexico sunny day rain storm. The late afternoon sun was shining down reflecting through each and every raindrop. A great song came on and all of a sudden I realized that everything, I mean absolutely everything, seemed to be dancing along to the song: the leaves on the trees and bushes, the windshield wipers on all the cars around me, passing cars, the words coming from my son, the motion of the traffic. This continued all the way home while I looped the song on my iPod.

Here are the lyrics to the song "Sea Legs" by The Shins:

Of all the churning random hearts
Under the sun
Eventually fading into night,
These two are opening now
As we lie, I touch you
Under fuller light.

Girl, if you're a seascape
I'm a listing boat, for the thing carries every hope.
I invest in a single light.
The choice is yours to be loved
Come away from an emptier boat.

'Cause when the dead moon
Rises again
We've no time to start a protocol
To have us in.
And when the dog slides
Underneath a train,
There's no cry, no use to searching for
What mutts remain.

Throw all consequence aside
The chill aspire, people set alight.

Of all the intersecting lines in the sand
I routed a labyrinth to your lap.
I never used a map sliding off the land
On an incidental tide,
And along the way you know, they try
They try.

And we got sea legs
And we're off tonight
Can I've that to which they've no right?
You belong to a simpler time
I'm a victim to the impact of these words,
And this rhyme.

'Cause when that dead moon
Rises again
We've no time to start a protocol
To have us in.
And when the dog slides,
Open the door, and where'd she go?
There's no time, no use to searching for
The mutts remains.
Throw consequence aside and the chill aspire, people set alight.
