Time Monk Clif High on Big Changes in March



I've listened to this Time Monks Radio Network interview with Clif High a few times. I've found it hard to get through because it is long and much of it is really ponderous. There are some stunning revelations, though. It just isn't immediately obvious because they've buried the lede.

The big news is that dramatic happenings are anticipated for March of this year. This looks to be the long anticipated "hard wall" of the "data gap" which coincides with something High is calling a "breakthrough" point. There is an extended period of alternating release language and building tension language that ends with nothing but release language as far as the eye can see. This points to a fundamental change in the nature of society and possibly of reality itself. Whether or not High is aware of it, there are intimations of the kinds of changes the airy-fairiest of lightworkers have been talking about for some time. Of course it could also mean something cataclysmic and hideously destructive. And of course, it could go both ways. Within the lighworker paradigm, that dichotomy should be familiar. As light increases and the dark is disrupted, the purging process is awful. And I've found it to be axiomatic that whenever Karen Bishop, for instance, signaled a positive expansion, the fallout was horrible. It got to where I used to brace myself for the coming misery whenever she gave her sunniest predictions. To put that in more pedestrian terms, for something new to be built, whatever's in it's way has to be destroyed. And it could well be that in this case, what is set for demolition is the world as we know it.

In her last energy update, Lauren Gorgo announced that it was... wait for it... her last energy update. The reason? We're there. Gorgo, whose last 5 or 6 updates have been stunningly on the money for me, personally, says that we've reached the "promised land."

This is the year when all the proposed solutions to bringing our planetary systems to the next level will be met with great cosmic support, and all those who have sustained the visions of the future and held the pristine memories of home will be given the divine flow of perpetual grace to physicalize those visions of LOVE.  This year we begin to live our purpose (out loud) and finally make manifest the creations we have envisaged for what seems like forever.

So, it makes sense that we might see some rather dramatic expressions of change in the material world, some of which could get really uncomfortable. Gorgo says as much.

We will continue to exist between worlds (3D & 5D) for a while, using the 4th dimension as the bridge between the two, so the Pleiadians suggest a need to be more discerning with our energy & opportunities in order to maintain a sense of equilibrium during a potentially stressful time on the planet, especially for those (4D) bridgers working with more of the masses and those people yet to choose LOVE.

There is a fairly direct comparison to be made between that vision and High's explanation of the infinitely extended release language period he sees ahead. He explains, as he has before that release language periods can be either good or bad in terms of experience. It can be like a giant keg party where the majority of the conversation is in release even though a few exchanges in the mix are building tension. It can also be people reacting to learning that their about exterminated in a holocaust. The language pattern would look the same in his data. But here's what he says about the immediate future at around an hour and forty minutes into the interview.

I would hope that we're a smart enough species that when pushed to the brink -- because we're basically lazy butts and we don't do anything until we're forced to -- that we will get off our lazy butts, stop these idiots, and go right into perpetual, exponential renaissance, which I think of as giant party, where we all agree we're adults now. We grant ourselves the freedom to interact with universe the way we need to. We get out from under these parental institutions in a kind and gentle way -- because we wanna rehabilitate these poor souls -- and grab all the cool stuff and start go out and start inventing our future in a giant party mode. Because I sure don't want to live in the alternative.

After this period in March of a "crocodile teeth" pattern alternating and between release and building tension language, it's all release except for some very small subsets of building tension language which look to be amongst the "powers that be" and may have to do with solar flares. (Right around the 41 minute mark.)

High, for his part, seems ecstatic in this interview. He is very excited at the possibility that the game is afoot. I think this is the first time I've ever heard him sound upbeat and positive. He seems to be very much of the opinion that something truly huge is coming and that whatever it is, it will dramatically change the power dynamics on the planet. This looks to be the point at which the "powers that be" become, as he has been calling them for some time, "the powers that were." But, he says, this is a moment decisive action.

"Truly, we are at a point of commitment. If you are not taking action to thwart the powers that be in February and March of this year, there may not be a point to it in April or May."

High is still unclear -- though he engages in some wild speculation -- as to what causes the data gap. This is the time period that has shown up in report after report where-in his system is no longer able to gather data for these reports from the internet. Whether that means the internet will go down, the power grid will go down in a Carrington event, or we'll all lose our mental faculties, is anyone's guess. That there may be a mental component to this is bolstered by High's contention, at about an hour and a half in, that Russian parapsychologists are anticipating a "consciousness event" early in 2012.

In the first ten minutes of the interview, High postulates that our mental state (much like our electronics) is being affected by the changes on the sun. He also described in a number of interviews (and about the 43 minute mark in this interview) a mental state in which people just shut down and are basically standing in the middle of the street, drooling on themselves. I noticed that Denise LeFay has noted a similar phenomenon associated with the increasing solar flares and says she's seen the beginning stages of it.

This morning (Nov. 28, 2011) I had to go to two stores to grocery shop and it was as usual physically and psychologically painful, but there was something different that happened and that’s why I’m writing this. What I saw today while shopping was an eye-opener for me and gave me a sense of what 2012 is probably going to be like for many, many, people.

While in these two stores grocery shopping this morning (Nov. 28, 2011) my Mom and I kept running into other shoppers in the isles which is normal, BUT, every one of these people was totally unaware, confused, dazed, incapable of responding with any sort of normal reaction to their being in the way of other shoppers and so on. The first few times this happened I ignored it and pushed on past them all. But isle after isle we kept encountering this same mentally dazed, brain-dead, zombie-like state in 99% of all the shoppers...

These shoppers were not all seniors either but a good mix of society both in age and sex so this can’t all be blamed on the old people having a senior moment. Isle after isle we kept running into small groups of shoppers behaving like zombies who’d gotten themselves—and everyone else who came upon them—stuck in a zombie cluster-fuck traffic jam pile-up where none of them could even figure out how to solve the problem and escape the congestion. It really was unbelievable.

At about the 30 minute mark, High discusses psychic predictions that an off-planet entity may prevent a nuclear holocaust here on earth. After discounting much of it as a "savior myth," High allows that that doesn't mean it isn't true. There may be off-world entities that would prevent that because the damage would affect more than our planet but severely impact the rest of the solar system or farther out into the galaxy. I'd just like to point out that this is precisely what Bashar claimed in the eponymous channeled book. After first explaining that there was collective agreement not to destroy ourselves at some point in the early 1980s, he goes on to explain that we would never have been allowed to do so by nuclear means anyway.

Because you have made that decision, we can also tell you the following: that you never would have been allowed to annihilate yourselves through nuclear means anyway. It is your world: you can do with it what you will . . .  as long as what you do remains in your own back yard! Nuclear annihilation would have torn through the dimensional fabric of other space/time continuums, and affected other civilizations that have nothing to do with you. That is not allowed.

Another curious possible correlation to some of the more out there predictions I've heard through the years comes about the 2 hour and 17 minute mark. He describes a change in the "photonics" in which we begin to perceive colors that we didn't previously perceive. He suggests this may be due to changes in the magnetosphere and which affect our consciousness. This is something I remember Drunvalo Melchizedek talking about years ago regarding the pole shift -- that we would suddenly see colors that never existed in nature before.

I do think the entire interview is worth listening to, even though it's long and lacks narrative structure. I've tried to pinpoint the juicy bits by noting the times. Also, in the player below is a set of clips some helpful soul collected.

Also of note: High's newest report was just posted on High's site but it comes with some important caveats.

Future Recent History:2020 is specifically NOT a Shape of Things to Come report, although it has some element similarities. However, there are no immediacy, nor shorter term values used, thus much of the Shape report is not there, and a huge unreliability factor is present.

Vatican Scandal



And it's not... You know...

Money. This time it's money.

The Vatican was shaken by a corruption scandal Thursday after an Italian television investigation said a former top official had been transferred against his will after complaining about irregularities in awarding contracts.

. . .


Vigano, currently the Vatican's ambassador in Washington, said in the letters that when he took the job in 2009 he discovered a web of corruption, nepotism and cronyism linked to the awarding of contracts to outside companies at inflated prices.

In one letter, Vigano tells the pope of a smear campaign against him (Vigano) by other Vatican officials who wanted him transferred because they were upset that he had taken drastic steps to save the Vatican money by cleaning up its procedures.

For his crime of trying to bring the Vatican's spending into integrity, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano was "promoted" to a figurative Siberia: Washington DC, where he now serves as the papal nuncio.

Giovanni Maria Vian, the editor of the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, insisted on the show that Vigano’s transfer to Washington wasn’t a punishment for exposing wrongdoing or stepping on too many toes. He noted that Vigano had been in the Vatican’s diplomatic service for years and said he was being promoted to the Holy See’s most important overseas post.

“He wasn’t sent away. He was made the pope’s representative in Washington!” Vian said.

Letters revealed in Wednesday's broadcast show that Vigano was quite clear that he was being forced out of a position he was supposed to hold until 2014 because he was being all correct and stuff by demanding proper bidding for contracts.

Vigano's transfer may point to deeper rifts within the Vatican.


Marco Politi, a Vatican correspondent for the newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano and the author of a book about the pope, said in an interview that there were signs that “discontent is growing” with Cardinal Bertone’s administration. 

“This shows once again that Bertone does not know how to manage the Vatican machine,” Mr. Politi said. “It also shows that there is tension within the Curia, because that’s how the letters got out.”

Officially, the Vatican is putting the blame squarely on the shoulders of the media, expressing "disappointment," and threatening litigation over the public revelation of its internal communication.

The Vatican also warned that it could take legal action against a TV show that reported on the case. The Italian investigative news program, "The Untouchables," showed letters from Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano to Pope Benedict XVI begging not to be transferred after exposing corruption costing the Vatican millions of euros (dollars).

Robot Baby Weirds People Out



The wriggling, the squirming, the Moro reflex-induced jump... If you want proof that artificial intelligence is thriving, look no further than this robotic -- and yes, somewhat creepy -- baby.

. . .

Many bloggers and online commenters have called the animatronic baby "creepy" and "freaky" -- Technabob even ran a post about the clip with the headline "Skinless Robot Baby is the Stuff Nightmares Are Made Of." But, whether you are horrified or fascinated, there is no denying that Clarke's tiny robots serve an important purpose -- keeping real infants safe.

Sure, it's cute. But, do I really need to point out where this kind of thing can lead? Here?




Or maybe even here?




Things to bear in mind.

Huckabee, Mormons, and Blood Libel?



I will give a dollar to the first person who can explain to me why Mike Huckabee made this bizarre allusion to blood libel in his discussion of Mitt Romney's Mormon problem... because I'm flabbergasted.

"I'd like to believe that's not the issue," Huckabee told Fox Business host Neil Cavuto. "Four years ago, I was accused of making it an issue. It wasn't for me then, it isn't for me now. I would no more not vote for someone because they were Mormon than I would vote for somebody like Al Gore because he's a Baptist, for heaven's sake. I think that's a ridiculous reason to vote or not vote for someone, unless they've done something that's so wacky — like mix the blood of little children together in a public ceremony."

If you, like Sarah Palin, are unfamiliar with the meaning of "blood libel," here's a quick tutorial. Once upon a time, Jews were rumored to kill little Christian children and use their blood to make their matzo. Such tales served as a justification for pogroms and other anti-Jewish violence. Okay, Jews were not the only religious minority ever accused of killing children to use their blood in rituals, but this is the first time I've ever heard this even tangentially tied to Mormonism.

So what on earth was Huckabee on about? He reached for a random example of weird religion and pulled out blood libel? Who does that?!

And why has there been near silence about this bizarre and extremely provocative statement? The only mention I've seen to date is this one in the Arkansas Times.

Graham Hancock on UFOs, Faeries, and Shamans



One of the most fascinating theories explored in Graham Hancock's Supernatural is that there is a some correlation between UFO abductions, faerie lore, and shamanic experiences. In this lecture he discusses some of the overlapping elements and addresses the use of hallucinogens in shamanic practice which may date back to the paleolithic era. Brilliant!

More William Henry: 2012 and Sion



In this very recent Red Ice Radio interview, William Henry discusses his increasing discomfort with some of the factually challenged hype around 2012. He is also becoming more outspoken in his challenge of conspiracy theories about "the illuminati" and the like.

The major takeaway from this interview is Henry's illustrative tale of how the "the gods" hid the great mysteries from humanity.

The body is absolutely the machine. And that's the diversion to me. Because if you're lookin' for a machine out here -- I mean everybody's lookin' for the Ark of the Covenant. Where's the Ark of the Covenant? Is it in Ethiopia? Or is it? Where is it? Well, according to this tradition, the Ark of the Covenant is your first three chakras. And the reason why archaeologists can never find the Ark of the Covenant is 'cause they're always sitting on it. I mean, that's the old joke isn't it? Oh, the gods got together. They have this secret. They wanna hide this secret from humanity. Should we bury it in the ocean? No. They'll create a submarine. They'll be able to find it. Well, let's put it high up on a mountain. Oh, no, no. They'll be able to climb that mountain. Well, we should bury it in the desert. No. Someone will find it. Oh, I know. Let's put it inside them. They'll never think to look there.

If there is a "dark side of the illuminati," the biggest psych op they're running is planting conspiracy theories that demonize the very information that could set us free. As Henry points out, we're told that there are secret technologies that only the elite have access to, when the human body itself is the technology. We've just forgotten how to use it. And the key symbols and archetypes that serve as a reminder of how to activate that technology -- such as the "all seeing eye" -- are inverted and recast as symbols of oppression.

William Henry Talks Sun Worship, 2012, and More



I have not been and will not be doing much blogging until I get some computer problems resolved. Don't ask. It's been a rough few months on many levels. But, in the meantime, I've managed to catch some good new YouTube vids and this Coast to Coast interview from November is an excellent reminder of how much more advanced the ancients were than our current tech dependent civilization. George Noory's interview with William Henry begins a little before the 40 minute mark.

The Invincible Sun of Winter Solstice

Buy at Art.com

Wishing all a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Yule, Raucous Saturnalia, and all other celebrations of the enduring of the light at Midwinter.


The Shortest Day
Susan Cooper

So the shortest day came, and the year died,
And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world
Came people singing, dancing,
To drive the dark away.
They lighted candles in the winter trees;
They hung their homes with evergreen;
They burned beseeching fires all night long
To keep the year alive,
And when the new year's sunshine blazed awake
They shouted, reveling.
Through all the frosty ages you can hear them
Echoing behind us - Listen!!
All the long echoes sing the same delight,
This shortest day,
As promise wakens in the sleeping land:
They carol, fest, give thanks,
And dearly love their friends,
And hope for peace.
And so do we, here, now,
This year and every year.
Welcome Yule!!


Midwinter
Tomas Tranströmer translated by Robert Bly

A blue glow
Streams out from my clothes.
Midwinter.
A clinking tambour made of ice.
I close my eyes.
Somewhere there’s a silent world
And there is an opening
Where the dead
Are smuggled over the border.


An Old Man's Winter Night
Robert Frost

All out of doors looked darkly in at him
Through the thin frost, almost in separate stars,
That gathers on the pane in empty rooms.
What kept his eyes from giving back the gaze
Was the lamp tilted near them in his hand.
What kept him from remembering what it was
That brought him to that creaking room was age.
He stood with barrels round him -- at a loss.
And having scared the cellar under him
In clomping there, he scared it once again
In clomping off; -- and scared the outer night,
Which has its sounds, familiar, like the roar
Of trees and crack of branches, common things,
But nothing so like beating on a box.
A light he was to no one but himself
Where now he sat, concerned with he knew what,
A quiet light, and then not even that.
He consigned to the moon, such as she was,
So late-arising, to the broken moon
As better than the sun in any case
For such a charge, his snow upon the roof,
His icicles along the wall to keep;
And slept. The log that shifted with a jolt
Once in the stove, disturbed him and he shifted,
And eased his heavy breathing, but still slept.
One aged man -- one man -- can't keep a house,
A farm, a countryside, or if he can,
It's thus he does it of a winter night.


Midwinter
Sophie Jewett

All night I dreamed of roses,
    Wild tangle by the sea,
And shadowy garden closes.
    Dream-led I met with thee.

Around thee swayed the roses,
    Beyond thee sang the sea;
The shadowy garden closes
    Were Paradise to me.

O Love, ’mid the dream-roses
    Abide to heal, to save!
The world that day discloses
    Narrows to one white grave.

Michigan Christian Notices Christmas is Pagan

Buy at Art.com
Buy From Art.com


Christmas lovers in a quiet Michigan neighborhood were shocked to find a note appended to their mailboxes denouncing their holiday light displays. It began:

Hi neighbor
You have a nice display of lights and this love note explains how that pagan tradition began. For thousands of years Sun worshippers have celebrated the Sungod's rebirth after solstice. Pagans honored the birth of the "invincible sun" with a "festival of lights." They used big bonfires, pigs fat tallow candle lights, and today, billions of colored christmass [sic] lights. Rome's seven-day December Saturnalia was religious revelry with decadent drunkenness outrageous adultery and giving Saturn's nativity birth gifts to the children. The Norseman's yuletide solstice carousal used sexual soliciting mistletoe, Yule-log bonfire, and decorated evergreen wreaths and tree worship. None of this honors the life of Yeshua the Christ.

But for the invective, that could have been written by a pagan. (I particularly like the way Sungod and Saturnalia are capitalized but "christmass" isn't.)  In fact, last year I offered a bit of history regarding the pre-Christian roots of bringing evergreens into the home during solstice and the Bible's condemnation of it. But light-displaying Michiganders scoff at such litmus tests of their Christianity and do not take kindly to the grievous insult of being called "pagan."

Danette Hoekman, who received the letter, said: 'I laughed because I think it’s ridiculous that people would get upset over Christmas lights.'

. . .

Miss Hoekman added: 'It's a sin to judge other people and to tell people that if they have Christmas lights they are Pagans.

'We're not Pagans, we go to church regularly, my kids go to the Christian school.'

The mash note writer isn't the only one calling Hoekman's faith into question. George Conger at Get Religion points out that Christianity and single motherhood are oxymoronic and strangely conflates the whole thing with lesbianism.

A “Miss” whose kids go to the Christian school? That would be news.

But facts and George Conger don't seem to be well acquainted. Conger also takes both the Michigan do-gooder and the Huffington Post to task for claiming that it was Christians who coopted the pagan holiday when it was the Roman Emperor Aurelian.

This bit of conventional wisdom does not stand up to scrutiny. It will disappoint the crank of Hudsonville no doubt, but he (and the Huffington Post) have it backwards. As Prof. William Tighe wrote in Touchstone magazine a few years ago:
… the Emperor Aurelian instituted on that date [Dec 25] in the year 274 was not only an effort to use the winter solstice to make a political statement, but also almost certainly an attempt to give a pagan significance to a date already of importance to Roman Christians.
In other words, it was the pagan Emporer Aurelian who sought to paganize the Dec 25 holiday of the Christians, not the Christians who sought to Christianize the Roman pagan holiday.

Never mind that Christianity owes ancient Rome and its emperors for most of the Christian foundations we hold dear. It was the pagan Emperor Constantine who formally legalized Christianity and organized the Council of Nicaea which was responsible for hammering out Christian doctrine and assembling the Bible that fundamentalists today consider the irrefutable word of God. Constantine was only baptized into the Christian faith on his deathbed after a living a thoroughly debauched, wife-murdering, life.

More to the point, "the crank" doesn't appear to have said anything at all about who it was who so thoroughly enmeshed Christmas with paganism. But that enmeshment cannot be reasonably disputed.

The Wild Hunt has more on the link between Saturnalia and Christmas.

So get out your statue of Saturn, or if you don’t have one, I suppose a statue of Santa will have to do, place him on your best couch, and let the merriment begin!
“According to the Augustan historian Livy, following the sacrifice the Roman senate arranged a lectisternium, a ritual of Greek origin that typically involved placing the deity’s image on a sumptuous couch, as if he were present and actively participating in the festivities. A public banquet was held (convivium publicum), and afterward the shouting of io Saturnalia began, originally only on the single day.”

Harmonic Indigence



Well, we knew this was coming. James Ray's lawyers have washed their hands of the Harmonic Wealth author who hasn't been able to pay them for some time. It's funny. I was opening some of the newly posted court documents and before I even read this one, my eyes lit on Brad Brian's name at the top of the letter head and felt a rush of relief. I had this overwhelming sense that he felt done with James Ray. Then I read it. He is done with James Ray. As are his legal eagles Luis Li and Truc Do and all the other nameless, faceless attorneys and paralegals at Munger, Tolles, & Olson who have put in thousands of billable hours on this case. For all Li's grandstanding about how they're going to appeal this, that, and the other thing, his firm is handing Ray off to the public defender's office.

James Arthur Ray hopes to rely on a court-appointed attorney to further the appeal of his negligent homicide conviction, according to a request filed Monday.

. . .

If his request is granted, he will likely receive an in-house or contract attorney through the county public defender's office.

So the tax payers of Arizona will have the pay the legal bills of a man who until very recently claimed be a millionaire on his way to be being a billionaire. He'll either be represented by some overworked public defender or the state will contract it out. Could that be to Tom Kelly? Maybe. I can't help noticing that Kelly has been the one signing off on all the recent documents, such as his notice of appeal.

Meanwhile, Sheila Polk is preparing to appeal a number of the judge's rulings in the case, which could potentially negate many of the defense's arguments for appeal.

Also on Monday, Yavapai County Attorney Sheila Polk filed a notice of cross-appeal that outlines her intention to do more than merely defend allegations in the upcoming appeal of Ray's conviction, sentence, restitution and fines.

. . .

In the cross-appeal notice, Polk lists, without elaboration at this point, several areas of legal dispute the state intends to argue when the case goes to the Arizona Court of Appeals. All stem from rulings by Judge Warren Darrow that went against the prosecution.

Her notice of appeal is here. Among the decisions she's appealing is Judge Darrow's decision to run the sentences concurrently, which apparently means she's seeking the longer, six-year sentence.

Arizona prosecutors will seek a longer prison sentence for self-help promoter James Arthur Ray.

He was given two years for causing the deaths of James Shore of Milwaukee and two others in a 2009 sweat-lodge ceremony.

I didn't know you could do that. Huh.
