Background:
The vision of a new century
Even by the quirky standards of astrology, I'm a bit offbeat.
For many years, I have been practicing an obscure form of western astrology called karmic astrology.
The approach I take is not easy to understand (even for other astrologers) given its arcane, esoteric, highly metaphysical and mystical underpinnings.
So I'm used to some pretty cosmic stuff as a routine part of my day.
Having said that, the announcement on March 15, 2004, of the discovery of a new planet, Sedna, pulled the rug out from under the astrological world as I had come to know it.
Sedna's 10,500-year orbit shatters all preconceived notions about mundane astrology, which is in part the study of human evolution and impersonal events.
It was the metaphysical equivalent of a thunderbolt going off for me.
That takes a bit of doing. I've spent my life grudgingly and reluctantly learning to accept that I have been given the gift to see things others miss. I didn't ask for this, at least not consciously.
It was just in the cards I was dealt at birth, and I thank my father for pointing out the gift to me while I was but a child.
As a young person this was an ability which often put me at odds with donkey-minded mainstream thinking, and often enough donkey-minded mainstream society. Decades later, it still does. BTW, one of my favourite childhood stories was The Emperor's New Clothes. I really related to the kid. Still do.
At any rate, I did recover from the thunderbolt which Sedna's discovery sent through my system. What was left after that was a coherent picture of the options the 21st Century would present to humanity.
Almost instantly the picture of where humankind could go assembled itself in front of me from the scattered and disparate pieces of what had been an inscrutable physical and metaphysical jigsaw puzzle.
Here we go again, I thought, it's the old connect the dots that no one else can see. The vision I saw was intense, and it is that vision which guides the 2012 Saga books.
There are so very many pieces from which the picture assembled, so I will name just a few, some of which are better known than others:
- The Mayan calendar's conclusion in December, 2012;
- The Uranus/Pluto signatures of three major world revolutions in the 21st Century;
- The stark astrological evidence of collapse in the world's stock markets between 2008 and 2010;
- The world-wide shortage of oil;
- The environmental crisis;
- The legends of the collapse of Atlantis and Lemuria;
- The Vedic history of humanity stretching back over one million years.
Be assured this is not the end of the world, just the end of a 25,770-year cycle of human evolution as defined by the precession of the equinoxes. Simultaneously this is also the beginning of a new 25,770-year cycle. Exciting times are guaranteed when the Cosmos converges on a planet, which is what we have here.
Our characters in the 2012 Saga will be addressing many issues in the vision as the story unfolds. This first book of the 2012 Saga, The Return of the Pleiadians, simply sketches out the beginning of the vision.
I honestly don't know if the series will be around long enough sketch out the latter part of the vision or not. I'm just they guy through which the story is flowing. For the most part I just observe and transcribe.
The 2012 Saga books are my way of communicating this vision of possible things to come in plain English to those who are open to seeing the path in front of the world. It is at best an uncertain path, fraught with conflicting cross-currents which lurches us into a new 25,770-year cycle in the evolution of humanity, but it is not a boring path.
Where the path leads is still has many open options. Collectively humanity will make choices as time goes by, particularly in the early years of this century. That's why I choose the literary vehicle of an ongoing saga to tell the story. Because this century itself is will be a saga.
Please understand that while the human characters are fictional, this is not the case for the world in which the characters live. As this first volume is written (from spring 2004 to spring 2005) we have at least a 50% probability that the world described herein will be how things are in the year 2012.
There's also a 50% chance things will be better. So flip your own coin.
Yes, these books describe a bleak world, but not without constructive options, which is the point. It is also a world where multi-dimensional characters float in and out of human form interacting with the humans and the human condition as once happened long ago on this planet but now is wilfully forgotten.
Indeed, human beings have this capacity as well, but seem determined to deny it at all costs, and the cost of that denial is high.
More importantly, it is a world with great potential for change. Whether that change will be for better or worse is explored by the characters in the book, as indeed humanity itself will have to explore through the rest of this century.
From that perspective the characters and their adventures in these books take on an allegorical quality. They are fictional proxies for those of us who will be living through this momentous era.
Nonetheless, the idea throughout for me is to make the books an entertaining and fun read. I deliberately added some fun comedic characters (Zelda to name one) to lighten up the story line and make it enjoyable.
Of course, the Law of Unintended Consequences took over, and now the comedy plot lines and characters have taken on a life of their own. You have no idea how enjoyable an off-the-wall character like Zelda is to write about. How many dope-smoking gun-toting 70-year-old hippie ladies do you know?
Zelda may yet outlive us all.
Still, there is some profound material tucked away inside for those so interested, but curl up in your comfy chair. This is mainly an action-driven story, easy to read.
