20 years later, still no Harmonic Convergence (taps foot -still waiting)

[underpants]

The Harmonic Convergence was a loosely-organized new age spiritual event that occurred on August 17, 1987, when groups of people gathered in various sacred sites and "mystical" places all over the world to usher in a new era, a date based primarily on the Maya calendar, but also on interpretations of European and Asian astrology.

The Harmonic Convergence was supposed to be a global awakening to love and unity through divine transformation. It was initiated in 1987 by Jose Arguelles. According to his interpretation of Maya cosmology (an interpretation held as completely unfounded by Mayanist scholarship), this date was the end of twenty-two cycles of 52 years each, or 1144 years. The twenty-two cycles were divided into thirteen "heaven" cycles, which began in 843 A.D. The thirteen heaven cycles ended in 1519, which began the first of nine "hell" cycles.

People began arriving on August 15, 1987 at sites such as Mount Shasta, Stonehenge and Crestone, Colorado, which were believed to be "focus locations". Events began on August 16, culminating on the convergence itself on the 17th with prayer, song, meditation, dance, and rituals. If nothing else, this highly publicized event brought the New Age religion to public awareness and popularized quartz crystals, channelling and theories about reincarnation and extraterrestrial life.

2. Heh,

Even though I didn't put any stock in this, I did wander out to the big rock in my field, and sat there with my baby for 15 minutes.

Sounds like a nice break in the day!

3. I read that according to the Mayan calender, we are inbetween

worlds right now, a time where we work out our stuff personally and collectively. The new world starts in 2016.


edit - December 21, 2012 AD is the date.

6. December 21, 2012 is the end of the Mayan calendar. According

to some vase that's been translated, it's when the time lords return (they're the ones who wrote the original mayan calendar, having created time I think), and there's a big party and all creation is invited---not sure what else is supposed to happen, but it sure will be neat to find out!

9. Man, that kind of sucks

Since according to some interpretations, the Mayan calendar will run out in 2013, ending the world. Hey, that's 26 years between the two dates, and the Mayan's placed some significance on the number 52, which is twice 26... Hmmmm...
