2012 - and the triple lights of humanity

To be honest, I wasn't sure where or how to put this page, which is basically some of my own playful reflections and a consequence of my interest in symbolism.

On the one hand, there is no doubt that the year 2012 will be significant for those of us living at the time. Similarly, the year 2000 was a milestone. And the year 2033 will be another such significant passage as the Christian world faces 2000 years since Christ's crucifixion (never mind for now the minor discrepancies in the dating of the event).

For myself, I consider three shining lights in humanity's individual and spiritual achievements: the Judeo-Christian tradition; the Hindo-Buddhist; and the secular-Humanist (or laïc) (each of these lights are opposed by spiritual forces that seek to extinguish the same – below I note the currently dominant forms).

In addition, I personally consider that the Divine manifests in various ways. St John's description of the Logos is one such manner, as is the Sophia. If we take the galactic centre as symbolic of Sophia, then the end of the Mayan (long) calendar in December 2012 marks an important conjunction of our Sun with that point, and is well worth celebrating.

In recent times, more has come forth from the Judeo-Christian traditions regarding the divine feminine aspect (which I here simply refer to as Sophia). Her 'blue' quality contrasts to the 'yellow' brightness of the Logos.

To symbolise the syncretism of what I have but briefly mentioned above, I suggest the following emblem, incorporating a meso-american symbol said to represent the God of the galactic centre (Hunab Ku) and a newish Buddhist flag signifying Compassion [Logos] and Wisdom [Sofia] (the Karmapa flag). At its corners are the traditional Jewish Tzitzith, reminding us of our moral and spiritual striving.

...and now for some rather strongly worded reflections

[Please note that most of the following was written prior to Obama being even nominated for the Nobel Peace prize, and prior to realising that his auto-biography was written on his 33rd birthday. Even with this said, and though there are numerous indication that Obama-like characteristics are what someone associated with the vehicle for Ahriman would more or less appear like, I do not claim him to so be – the similarity is very likely but another deception for things to come.]

Rudolf Steiner talks about the incarnation of Ahriman 'before even a part of the third post-Christian millennium will have passed' (Lucifer and Ahriman, November, 1919). I strongly believe we are seeing signs of this in our time, and that inevitably the individual is to be a well-liked and popular world figure that has strong appeal. Yet, it is by his or her actions that s/he is to be judged, not what one would like. For example, in the area of peace, the person is likely to on the one hand advocate a reduction in military spending or engagement, whilst simultaneously, on the other, actively support a (perhaps claimed temporary or needed) increase!

Where the individual is likely to have major influence is in worldwide databasing of individuals, perhaps strongly advocating genetic profiling, very likely presented in a positive light such as reducing illness and prolonging healthy life. Also, prevalent and ubiquitous encouragement of computer usage by children is likely to be encouraged and further tied to regulatory conditions (of either funding or of registration of schools or of teachers). And in a similar vein, the proliferation of genetically modified crops, even in countries that had previously been opposed to such, is likely to be seen, under his or her influence, as highly beneficial.

Such an individual is also likely to be awarded prizes, honorary positions and degrees, and other highly esteemed rankings, based more on perception than on actual contribution. To mimic an aspect of Christ, s/he would likely also have a biography written about him or her around (or precisely) at the age of 33 (or another figure closely connected with his appearance is likely to have the same), though the body for Ahriman is likely to be older than mid-30s in 2012, at which stage s/he is likely to 'end' and be metaphorically crucified. S/he will also be somehow 'announced' by another influential figure that already argues for all of the above (someone that has characteristics similar to Ray Kurzweil would fit this 'announcing' aspect quite well, as an example - see NOTE below).

Importantly, like his or her predecessor (the incarnation of Lucifer in about the 3rd millenium BCE in Fu Hsi), s/he will leave behind a long legacy for humanity that can, with our own conscious and conscientious awareness, prove beneficial.

Christ here plays a pivotal point in the time-line between these two incarnations: he is placed at the Golden Mean between Lucifer's and Ahriman's incarnations.

** Who is Ahriman?

the more I read Kurzweil and about him, the more it seems likely that such a person is the ideal candidate for the incarnation. He starts young (incredibly around the time of the 1962 eclipse); is incredibly influential, especially with high profile influential people; has not, until very recently, allowed himself to be too much in the public arena; is on numerous executive boards (is this the future form of 'government'?); advocates nearly all that I have listed above; has his name on so many items of increasingly necessary electronic tools, from scanners to electronic keyboards; and his claim for a need for a new world religion (often named 'transhumanism') is something quite astounding. Perhaps Obama and Kurzweil as keynote speakers at the 50th anniversary of the United Church of Christ was also such a 'link' and 'announcement', with Obama being the equivalent, in this case, of announcer. Even his first name, Raymond, is about the closest I could think of as a common name that, with only the first two letters swapped, becomes somewhat phonetically similar to 'Ahriman': Arymond. 'Kurzweil', by the way, stems from German and is, according to some online information, a nickname for a joker.
