“The main difficulty during the Kali Yuga is to maintain dharma, to maintain the order of the world and the integrity of our own actions, which are intimately connected in Indian thought, because we are in part responsible for the smooth running of the universe.

“THE TIME OF KALI”
from interview with Jean-Claude Carriere, “Answering the Sphinx”, in Conversations about the End of Time (with Umberto Eco, Stephen Jay Gould, and Jean Delumeau), 1998
You mention Sanskrit, so perhaps we might think about the Hindu concept of time. According to them, we've come to the end of a cycle, haven't we?
Hindus believe we are now living in what they call the Kali Yuga, the age of destruction. It's an irremediable process. Shiva has, once more, prevailed...Which is no surprise: Shiva always prevails. At the end of the last of the yugas, which form a cycle, everything disappears. The world we know will disappear, but not for the first time. There is no use trying to resist this destruction, because the forces sweeping us away are infinitely more powerful than us. The main difficulty during the Kali Yuga is to maintain dharma, to maintain the order of the world and the integrity of our own actions, which are intimately connected in Indian thought, because we are in part responsible for the smooth running of the universe. If each of us observes his own personal dharma, if each of us accomplishes what he came into existence for the purpose of accomplishing, the universe will proceed along its course, and one day the world will be reborn. It's all a question, therefore, of knowing how – despite this prospect of inevitable destruction – to continue to strive for dharma.
When did we enter the time of Kali?
About 3200 B.C., on the death of Krishna, the eighth avatar of the god Vishnu. But how long will the time of Kali last? I've never managed to find out, though I must have asked at least fifty people.
The French comic Fernand Raynaud would have said: “For some time...”
If the time of Kali began around 3200 B.C., it's already lasted more than 5,000 years. How much longer? Some talk of fifty years, others of 3 million. It is very difficult to know how long a yuga lasts. Probably because, for Indians, that's not exactly the point.
It's the very idea of measuring time which is foreign to them.
Yes, because you can't measure a circular phenomenon.
What's going to happen at the end of the Kali Yuga?
We shall see – are already seeing – an increasingly radical and increasingly evident decline in the whole idea of civilization. One can find very precise accounts of the Kali Yuga in the sacred texts of India, in the Mahabharata, for example. We shall experience a period in which all social ties disappear. The laws will be called into question, opposed, and finally dispensed with. The texts speak of the 'laws of Manu', named after the Indian equivalent of Solon. These laws have provided the structure of Indian society for a very long time. When they cease to be in force, civil wars will follow, within states, within cities, within families, rifts of every kind. Wild animals will invade the cities. The texts are very precise on the matter. I remember Jean-Luc Godard saying fifteen years ago that the fact that the blackbirds had deserted the countryside to come and live in the towns and cities seemed to him one of the most important events of the last years of the century; within a short period of time the least tame of animals had become almost domesticated...One reads, too, in the Mahabharata: 'Crime walks abroad. Carnivorous animals lie sleeping in the streets...The vultures are gathering. Birds with iron beaks have been seen, crying: “It's ripe! It's ripe!” And so on. Predictions of the end of the world share a number of common signs pretty well everywhere.
Aren't these just metaphors?
Absolutely not. It is presented quite clearly as fact. The texts speak also of the human race degenerating: of people becoming shorter, of muscles weakening, of the hair of fifteen-year-olds turning white...
If we look around us, the opposite seems to be true. The new generation is taller, healthier than any previous generation.
The Indians argue that ones does indeed see many people living to the age of eighty or ninety. But they belong to a generation born before the Second World War, when more than half the population still lived in the country and ate natural foods, produce that grew from the earth without the aid of pesticides and chemicals, and when they breathed clean air.
Will the post-war generation face problems that we don't yet know about?
It's quite possible. More often than not, what happens in the future is unexpected. But if everything is going from bad to worse, according to the traditional Indian view, one thing is nevertheless getting better and better: the quality of wine is improving, throughout the world. An exception to the rule which is not without its charm! There is absolutely no doubt that wine today – in the Herault, for example, where I live – is better than it was thirty or forty years ago. And that's encouraging. But will wine survive the Kali Yuga?
Perhaps it's your taste buds which have deteriorated?
Absolutely not. Everybody agrees on the fact, the wind-growers especially. Consumption of plonk has fallen considerably, people are discovering quality wines all over the place. Individual wines, with their own personality, that refuse to be like the rest. The wine-growers have devoted considerable efforts to the choice of grape varieties. And to mention something I do know quite a lot about, Corbieres wines are in the process of becoming very fine wines, on a par with the wines of Bordeaux. And even Bordeaux wine is getting better. So there's one good reason not to despair completely. There's some serious resistance going on...
But according to your sacred texts, none the less, the human race is under threat.
I remember talking to an Indian in 1985, in Avignon, on the banks of the Rhine. We'd both been giving talks on the Mahabharata. It was rather an amusing situation. France had just offered to send a group of scientists to India to help combat the pollution of the Ganges, and there we were, sitting on the banks of the Rhone, when we saw several shoals of dead fish floating past. Then, thinking of this country that was proposing to come to the rescue of the Indians while neglecting to protect the species to be found in its own territory, the Indian calmy and simply said to me: “Watch out!” Throughout history, average life expectancy has varied. Historians contend that people in the West lived longer in Ancient Greece and Rome than they did in the fifteenth century. Great epidemics of the sort that decimated populations in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance were unknown throughout Antiquity. Since the introduction of chemicals on a grand scale into our agriculture from the 1960's on – into our air, our water, our soil - no one has been able to predict the long-term effects on the human species as a whole. It's equally possible, of course, that it will have no effect. I'm not trying to act the prophet of doom. I'm simply trying to caution against any unduly complacent assertions about the 'progress' made by our civilization.
And how does the Kali Yuga end?
The abandonment of the rule of the law, followed by civil wars and the degeneration of the species, lead to wretched deprivation, everywhere. And there are disasters on a global scale, great rains, red vapours, yellow vapours, deadly clouds, which will all turn the earth into one enormous swamp.
Richard Fleicher's film Green Sun [Soylent Green] seemed to be predicting a miserable end of that sort.
Yes, it was a moving account. The age of Kali is terrifying. And there is no remedy. It's pointless to resist. There's only one thing left for us to do in these dramatic times: maintain our dharmas in circumstances which will make it harder and harder for us to do so.
But why maintain this dharma if the cause is definitively lost?
Precisely because time is cyclical, and a certain number of values, of the elements that constitute the order of the world, cannot disappear for ever. When all that's left on our planet is a sort of grey mud, as the texts describe it, then at that moment Vishnu will admit defeat: Shiva will have triumphed, the world will have been destroyed. There are two great divinities in India, Vishnu and Shiva, and one creative principle, Brahma, of whom it is said that he is the third divinity. In reality, Brahma intervenes very little. There are only one or two temples in India that are dedicated to him. Vishnu and Shiva, on the other hand, are constant rivals: one preserves the world and the other seeks to destroy it. The Mahabharata is a great Vishnuist poem in honour of Krishna, who is an avatar of Vishnu. In difficult times Vishnu comes down to fight Shiva and to delay the end by a few years. Indian statuary often depicts Shiva with four hands. The top two are at the same height; in the right hand, the god holds a small drum to signify that the world was created to the sound and rhythm of a drum. In the other he holds a flame, which reminds us that everything that has been created shall be destroyed. The gesture that Shiva makes with his third arm is also the gesture that the Buddha makes, the famous abhaya, meaning “Be not afraid.” Fear is an illusion, it does not exist. Since everything that has been created must be destroyed, why be alarmed, why worry? The fourth hand is a finger pointing towards the god's feet. Shiva is standing on one leg and crushing a demon with his whole weight. He seems to be telling us: “Be not afraid, for look! By the power of my thought, I have lifted one foot off the ground.” This is one of the most emblematic and meaningful figures in the whole Hindu pantheon, which has no shortage of them. Shiva has prevailed, but all hope is not lost. He demonstrates the fact himself. From his raised foot our eye travels back to the original drum: one day everything will begin again. We all have our own little Kali Yuga in us, our own sense of apocalyptic doom. There's even something strangely inviting about this sense that the end is nigh. If so many periods in history have experienced it, that's probably because the feeling is part of us, deep down, and surfaces on this or that occasion as evidence of our fear, of our sense of guilt. In India, too, they are familiar with this human sense of being haunted by an ending. They simply respond to it in their own way.
“VISHNU'S SLEEP”
And what does Vishnu do during this time?
Vishnu sleeps. He sleeps for a very long time upon a limitless ocean. There are thousands of depictions of Vishnu sleeping. While asleep he must dream so as not to forget the beauties of the world that has disappeared. Which is why we must at all costs maintain our dharma, in order to help Vishnu not to forget. To help the god to dream. If all values, all beauty are destroyed at the end of the cycle, the world is in danger of never reappearing. If something of the equilibrium between the forces of destruction and the forces of conservation is preserved in the memory of the great 'maintainer' that we are, Vishnu and us together, then all hope is not lost. A new cycle will begin again...
So dream has a function as memory.
As non-oblivion, as the struggle against oblivion. Dream remains awake within the sleeping mind. Who decides when the world will be created? No one says. There is no text, I think, which talks about it. Indian thought is reluctant to give shape or words to what is not yet shape, to what belongs to the realm of the shapeless. Tat tvam asi, they say of the ultimate reality: 'You are that.'
That's the essential message of the Bhagavad Gita.
The Bhagavad Gita is a very dense text which cannot be reduced to an 'essential message.' We must stop thinking that we can summarize in a few sentences the great thoughts, the great texts, that come from outside our own tradition. In a sense, the Bhagavad Gita subsumes everything that went before and develops it in certain aspects. It's a complex text. People have even found Buddhist influences in it. I shall certainly not simplify it for you. I wouldn't be able to.
As far as the dharma of the Hindus is concerned (the word has a different sense in Buddhism), no one knows hot it came to exist in the first place. It's simply a fact. That's how things are. There have been many people – Jorge Luis Borges, for example – who have been surprised at this obligation without explanation.
As I said, it's almost impossible to assimilate Indian thought (or Chinese or Mayan thought) to our Western concepts. We are far from having a monopoly on ways of thinking. There's a certain intellectual racism to be found more or less everywhere in the West, and we should constantly be on our guard against it.
So it is with time. Indian time cannot be reduced to our own. It defies all human arithmetic. Taken to its limit, this way of thinking means that a civilization could disappear in a few seconds and then reappear. In a few seconds, in a few thousand million years; what's the difference in the eyes of an extinct cosmos? Brahma the creator acts in an instant. Shiva takes longer, being more tortuous about his destruction. But it all comes to the same. An age is an age. Often if all depends on us, on our feel for things, on our way of seeing, our attitude.
For a thinker like Rene Guenon, manifestations belong to different orders, some of which take place in time and other of which take place in other dimensions. Yes, perhaps in those parallel universes that the scientists tell us about these days. But let me finish talking about...what am I saying! One's never finished with him, with Vishnu, our official protector.
After a certain 'time', all at once and for reasons we don't understand, Brahma, the creative principle, suddenly emerges from the belly of Vishnu, seated on a lotus leaf, and recreates the world he was dreaming about. The job done, Brahma returns to sleep inside the stomach of the god, ready for the next occasion. Creation dwells in sleep.
THE ON-GOING 'ORCHESTRATION OF REALITY' PARADIGM
I wrote most of this article several weeks ago, well before Jose under-went inter-dimensional transformation. At first I was a little sad that he wouldn’t be here for the much-heralded “2012 event”, but then I thought about it, and concluded that, indeed, Jose is now “timeless” in ways few of us could pretend to know about, as well as that maybe with things going the way they are, he didn’t want to be hanging around for another 18 months becoming radio-active. Or maybe he wanted to be gone before everyone discovered what a huge hoax the 2012 thing has been all along and then came looking for him as its single biggest progenitor! Or maybe, unlike Osama, maybe he’s not dead!
I always had a lot of respect for the enormity of his contributions, especially his earlier, “pre-Mayan” work. To me, his greatest talent lay in visual art and this, along with his mission of the awareness of temporal and calendrical relativity, was his greatest contribution. I got to meet Jose a few times, our first meeting being in Boulder, Colorado in 1986. I personally think that some of his best work is, for example, a chapter in his book The Transformative Vision entitled “Art as Internal Technology”, and his book Earth Ascending, which has some of the coolest and most cosmically creative art/charts I’ve ever seen. With The Mayan Factor, what seemed like non-sense started creeping in, along with the number 666 and a lot of stuff about “ufo’s.” To be honest, since the Harmonic Convergence of 1987 I sensed an increase in non-sense in direct proportion to his rise into the “new age” lime-light. The last time I saw him was when he gave his first “down-under” presentation on Easter Sunday of 2003 I think it was, in Melbourne. His ideas then were pretty grounded. But when I listened to a recording of a “Signs of Destiny” talk in California in 2004, his credibility was undermined when I heard him say that, for example, the “people” on his planet referred to our Earth as something like “Velatropa 4368”…not his exact words but close enough. The implication is that 1) there’s another planet “somewhere” with people just like us, 2) they speak English, and 3) he’s from there, and is possibly back there now? All this, plus the fact that for many years now, he’s insisted that he’s actually this being called Pacal Votan, a resurrected priest from ancient Mayan Guatemala…the “Guatemala” of “his” planet, I presume? Truly, who can say for sure about the nature of someone else’s personal reality? I remain sceptical, but ultimately I am open to anything, especially if it’s coherently presented!
I found the closing insights in his chapter of the book The Mystery of 2012 to be of value, especially within a paradigm where “codes” are the in-thing; we do need to wake up, but why tag the ever-ubiquitous “ufo” meme onto all this? It would seem to me that many other topics of much greater significance could have been added on to the end of this piece, for example, research about how our brains interact with the Earth’s magnetic field, humanity’s seeming obsession with fiction, or the immense amount of negative karma that “man, the wise” has accrued for the past 5000 years and that must necessarily be cleared before any hope of “ascension” is remotely possible. Even talking about “other dimensions” and beings therein doesn’t necessitate talking about UFO’s, does it? Whales, trees, or undisrupted indigenous people could exist in or experience these “other dimensions.” Wizards and hobbits, too. Even sleep or ‘altered states’ could be “other dimensions”. So why does not only Arguelles, but almost every other “new age” guru, cosmic researcher, and alternative networker keep a bright spot-light focussed on the whole UFO thing? Every issue of magazines like Nexus, Uncensored, or Atlantis Rising has at least one major piece devoted to all this.
The articles that are of value to me are the ones that reveal how “flying disc” technology has existed at least since the days of the Third Reich; that “ufo’s” do exist, but that they are strictly human in design and operation.
Arguelles suggests that the modern-day UFO phenomenon began shortly after the detonation of atomic weapons in 1945: “they” suddenly took notice of what we were doing and amped up their surveillance operations, even allowing themselves to be seen by us.
But there’s another reason that the modern-day UFO phenomenon began just after World War 2, and it has to do with our old friends the Nazi psychiatrists and the CIA, both of whom crept onto the American scene at this time, and all of whom were working essentially for Wall Street. The CIA was commissioned by a national security directive in 1946, and in September 1947 what’s referred to as the “Roswell crash” happened.
The mainstream story is that a “ufo” crashed in the desert of southern New Mexico, rather close to the site where the Trinity atomic detonation had occurred. Military personnel arriving on the scene discovered humanoid aliens on board, some of whom were still alive. They were then transported to a secret base, debriefed, given cups of coffee, made deals, gave us a whole new generation of technology, had a jam, pitched Reese’s Pieces, phoned home, and so on…you’ve already seen it all in countless movies and tv shows. Early science-fiction shows and movies kept the “alien” thing going until it could be taken up by minds as creative and influential as Steven Spielberg, who has by now made sure that the whole bug-eyed agenda is firmly embedded in our collective psyche.
Former Naval intelligence operative William Cooper revealed, however, that the whole Roswell incident was indeed a psychological warfare operation in which monkeys that had been shaved and surgically altered were passed off as “aliens.” Many or most of the “military personnel” who “recovered” the “ufo” and crew were in on the plot, but the overall illusion was good enough to fool a lot of people, to this very day. This whole thing planted a potent seed of delusion which continues to be nourished.
The existence of “flying disc” technology in Nazi Germany is documented; and if thousands of Nazi scientists came into America, you can bet they brought their “flying discs” with them…or maybe even came ON them, who knows? This was in the mid-1940’s; what have they come up with in the intervening 60-plus years? Could it be that on 21 December 2012 they’re going to “let loose” with the whole shebang they’ve been working on all this time, to stage the much-heralded “fake alien invasion” foreshadowed by the “War of the Worlds” broadcast in 1939, using every technological innovation available, including tropospheric holographic projections from satellite-based lasers, supplemented by “real” successors of Nazi “flying discs”? With genetically-engineered “aliens” instead of monkeys? What might they have started from this time…mental patients? Did you know that, according to mainstream news, a few weeks ago the largest rocket ever was launched from the “new” American space-base on the west coast, its payload a huge “spy satellite”?
The engineers of the Roswell prank were really doing the exact same thing that producers, directors and special-effects technicians do when “faking reality” for a movie. The only difference was passing it off as “reality” rather than entertainment. Today, the boundaries have become increasingly warped, and it’s widely known, for example, in media-analysis circles that the vast majority of what is called “news” is in fact fabricated by public relations firms. Former CIA officials even admitted faking those “bin Laden” interviews! Before AND after he died! What more do we need to know? The only thing keeping us ingesting all this fiction is our overwhelming desire to be deceived!
“Photographic evidence” of “alien spaceships” or “moon-bases” or the “face on Mars” prove nothing except our sustained uncritical assimilation of images that are extremely easily faked or digitally synthesized. I’ve actually been “on-lab” at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory more than once in the 1980’s and 90’s. An air of “top-secrecy” surrounded the computer graphics lab; no unauthorized visitors were allowed entry under any circumstances.
Jay Weidner has written a comprehensive and very interesting article on how (and why) Stanley Kubrick “faked” the Apollo moon landings. Check it out…it’s quite believable. [note: Weidner used to have this article on his site but has replaced it with an advert to buy the dvd]

[note: DEFINITELY watch this film...it has actual footage from NASA that shows the Apollo astronauts talking when they didn't think they were being recorded, etc!]
Interestingly, Weidner actually says that even though Kubrick was commissioned to “fake” the Apollo moon walks, he never speculates on who did the commissioning, and that he believes astronauts did in fact visit the moon, but the public has never been allowed to see or know about what they really found. As the impossibility of living humans passing through the Van Allen radiation belts has often been the single biggest reason given for the unreality of “moon-walks”, this could be a subtle maneuver by Weidner to “leave the door open” for “aliens.” I’ve had suspicions about “hermetic expert” Weidner since my “run-in” with him a couple years ago when I criticized their placement of the Georgia Guidestones, quasi-occult monuments to world government and depopulation, in two films purportedly about 2012.
Regardless, however, if Kubrick did fake the Apollo walks, consider that this was in the 1960’s; the same elite interests who would have commissioned this project could only have forged ahead with countless more equally ambitious operations in their unreality enterprises. Most of Hollywood would be on the e.t. wagon by now, at one level or another.
The whole point is that a tremendous amount of time, effort and expense has been and is being mobilized to wage a massive “public relations” campaign on behalf of the existence of humanoid “aliens” from somewhere out there, at least as if to try to ensure that they seem real in our minds, that we’re not uncomfortable with their existence.
Real “UFO’s”?
I’ll conclude this aside with two true stories pertaining to another type of “ufo” that may be a little more real than the bug-eyed grays in their metallic discs.
In the mid-1990’s I was visiting a friend who was living in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Mike. I’d known him for several years and I know that if he was bullshitting me, I’d know or it he’d tell me. He told me of how once a few months earlier he and some friends had been driving back to Santa Fe after a ski trip up into Colorado. They were driving down Highway 285 at night. This is an extremely beautiful and very remote road roughly paralleling Interstate 25 from Denver to Santa Fe.
Mike said that all of a sudden, in the middle of nowhere, a luminous object appeared and “flew” along right next to the car, only a few meters away. He and the other guys were totally freaked out. Mike said they were on the verge of panic and he said “Don’t look at it and it’ll go away!” Right…as if you could look away from something like that!!!
When I asked him to describe it, he said it was roughly spherical, maybe three to five meters in diameter. He said it looked a little like an eye-ball, with pulsing luminescent fibers in it, kind of orangish-yellow in colour. He kept driving and it stayed right with them for a few minutes, then vanished. He also swore on a stack of Bibles that he was stone cold sober at the time.
Also in the mid-1990’s I was visiting a friend of mine in San Francisco who had been a close friend of Jose Arguelles for years and had just returned from a trip down to Mexico with him. The topic of “ufo’s” came up, and Mark asked me if I wanted to see some photos that someone had given them down there. I opened the folder and looked at several colour prints of what appeared to be something roughly similar to what Mike had described from their New Mexico encounter: a luminous object, more organic than mechanical, yellow-orange in colour, with barely discernible fibers inside. This one was more elongated than spherical, and appeared to be hovering just beyond where the highway in the foreground went around the mountain-side. Mark said the photos were taken by someone they knew and trusted, and that it was, indeed, a “ufo.” So maybe Jose is right after all.
The part I found most interesting, however, was Mark’s response when I asked him if the Mexicans knew where the “ufo’s” came from. He said, “They come from inside the rocks.” Not another planet or galaxy, not another “time”, not even another “dimension”…they came out of the rocks.
Very interesting…maybe they are the “guardian beings” portrayed in the pictographs of Barrier Canyon, Utah, who were “released” when “precious things were dug from the ground” at Black Mesa, on the Hopi reservation, and used to create the first atomic weapons.
The Reason for an “E.T.” Agenda?
I think it’s very clear that “someone” on this planet wants everyone else to believe in the reality of reasonably humanoid aliens, with big eyes, distorted heads and growths on their faces. Their agenda? Only time will tell. A massive amount of evidence exists that all this is the result of a massive and on-going “reality orchestration” campaign that began with Roswell in 1947. Check out the research of Jacques Valle and Dave Emory for what I think is the true story of “E.T.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJUWxC1rmh4
For insight into “who” may be behind the “alien” scam, read the quotation below, which is supposedly from Carol Rosin, who was Dr. Werner van Braun’s personal secretary for the last few years of his life. Van Braun had been a top Nazi SS scientist and developed the V-2 rocket (which significantly was designed as much for it’s psychological ability to terrify as much as it was to blow things up!) before being imported into America to head NASA.
“What was most interesting to me was a repetitive sentence that he said to me over and over again during the approximately four years that I had the opportunity to work with him. He said the strategy that was being used to educate the public and decision makers was to use scare tactics. That was how we identify an enemy. The strategy that Werner Von Braun taught me was that first the Russians are going to be considered to be the enemy. In fact, in 1974, they were the enemy, the identified enemy. We were told that they had “killer satellites”. We were told that they were coming to get us and control us-that they were “Commies.”
Then terrorists would be identified, and that was soon to follow. We heard a lot about terrorism. Then we were going to identify third-world country ‘crazies.’ We now call them Nations of Concern. But he said that would be the third enemy against whom we would build space-based weapons.
The next enemy was asteroids. Now, at this point he kind of chuckled the first time he said it. Asteroids- against asteroids we are going to build space-based weapons.
And the funniest one of all was what he called aliens, extraterrestrials. That would be the final scare. And over and over and over during the four years that I knew him and was giving speeches for him, he would bring up that last card. ‘And remember Carol, the last card is the alien card. We are going to have to build space-based weapons against aliens and all of it is a lie.’ “
It sounded like van Braun knew the blue-print well, a Nazi blue-print being re-enacted at the next level today.
And with Osama now dead, again, for the what, fifth or sixth time…you KNOW he’s not going to be happy about having been killed so many times…”they” will now have to deploy another, bigger and scarier “bogey” to terrify what’s left of the public mind: the threat of an alien invasion.

Will the resurrected Osamessiah be piloting the entire fleet of saucers as they descend on America…using his state-of-the-art laptop, the same one he used to orchestrate 9/11? Will Obama save the day? Will Obama be piloting the saucers? Homer Simpson? You never know these days.
To put the icing on the cake as it were, it’s not impossible that Jose Arguelles was involved in covert mind-control operations, along with people like James Hurtak, Richard Hoagland (both with histories involving the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and both proponents of the “face on Mars”), probably beginning no later than the writing of The Mayan Factor, where, as I mentioned before, the “ufo” non-sense made it’s major debut in his work. In an interesting book entitled The Stargate Conspiracy, investigative journalists Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince connect the dots with a lot of these “new age” gurus, the “alien” agenda, and the legacy of the CIA’s notorious MK-Ultra mind-control operation, whose various isotopes have decayed into on-going daughter projects, most of which remain unknown to outsiders. But the signatures abound, of a weird intersection of “occult” and “absurd.”
In conclusion, as I see it, Jose Arguelles was a fantastic and visionary artist who somehow “sold out”, if not to “occult” interests, at least to absurdity. I do think it’s conceivable that the Apollo moon-walks were in fact contrived by Stanley Kubrick, and that the lunar missions were a psychological operation, especially given Werner van Braun’s Nazi background. I also believe that the majority of “ufo” sightings, disclosures and so on are complete rubbish, and disguises for nefarious human activity, BUT that other, unexplained phenomena do exist, such as the similar “objects” (beings?) seen by my friend in southern Colorado and photographed by Jose’s friend in Mexico. These do not appear to be the product of human mind-control operations or engineering.
But appearances can be misleading. Those photos could have been fake, and Jose may not be dead. I didn’t see the body. But I do know he did exist, because I met him a few times. This much I can be sure of.
We as humans continue to go to extraordinary lengths to fool ourselves, yet the realities of the inner and outer cosmos remain not only unknown, but unknowable.

The Mystery of 2012
Predictions, Prophecies & Possibilities
from The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology, Jose Arguelles
2012: TIME TO WAKE UP
We must wake up. Right now, we live in a world where human consciousness basically is a function of what we call “mass mind.” The mass mind is controlled and manipulated by – and believes in – governments and the whole range of institutions that are the key factors in modern life. Governments, institutions and the mass-media continuously put out information of a negative nature, negative energy, so that mass mind thrives on negative energy. Governments and institutions support this creation of negativity, and so humanity as a whole is in the grip of a very bad type of cultural hypnosis or civilizational trance. What matters is that we wake up so that we can enjoy the transiting of the beam. We have created such an imbalance through our technological binge, depletion of resources, and pollutions of the planet that we must wake up if we want to continue enjoying the planet. Our waking up will mean that we actually see that technology can’t help us and that we have to go beyond it. If we don’t wake up, the planet will naturally self-destruct because it is already so far out of balance.
We’re precisely at the point in time where the difference between a considerable number of us waking up and taking command and not waking up is the difference between the planet going into self-destruction and the planet continuing on its evolutionary path. To continue with the image of spaceship Earth, although we have used up the reserve energy supplies, we still have the central source, the sun, and our own very sophisticated bio-psychic instrumentation, our very beings, our human bodies. In terms of spaceship Earth, the wrong crew is in command, and it’s time for a mutiny.
PARALLELS AMONG THE MAYAN CALENDAR, THE I CHING, AND THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS
There are actually many points of convergence among the Mayan galactic code, the I Ching, the Book of Revelations, and many other systems. The reasons for this are very easy to explain. We’re all operating in the same field. Be it ancient China, ancient Egypt, ancient Israel, or ancient Mexico, the human receivers picked up the same information beams, translating them into particular languages conditioned by already-developed beliefs in those particular areas. In one case, you have the development of the I Ching in China with its mathematical code, which is exactly the same as the mathematical code of DNA and exactly the same as the mathematical code of the harmonic number progression of the Mayan code, a binary progression. Or you have the mathematical code of the Book of Revelations, which is based on 7 and 13, and 144 and 144,000; it’s the same number code as the Mayan code.
The Mayan code is the master code. It’s the galactic code. It’s the master program. The other codes are there, as I said, because humans everywhere can pick up on the same information from the same beams that are affecting the planet. Most of these codes and systems, like the Book of Revelations and the I Ching, were developed several thousand years ago. In these earlier phases before technology became the dominant factor, human receivers tended to be more operative. Right now, our receivers are quite shut down. There are people awake, here and there, making efforts to get other people to awaken. From the point of view of the code, being awake means opening up our receivers. This can only be done by having a genuine change of heart; a change of heart about what is happening in our lives, about what is happening on our planet, and realizing that if we are to continue, we must open up our receivers so that we can begin to receive the information and know what to do next. One might ask, If this is all laid out, what can we do? The fact is, it is all laid out only in some regards. We are so asleep to what is laid out for us that we can’t take advantage of it.
The Maya made a visitation. They made a very skilful intervention into the biosphere of this planet and left a civilization behind that looks a lot like other civilizations. It’s very carefully disguised. Through my study of the calendar and my study of other code systems and calendars on the planet, I saw that all of them were contained in the Mayan code – particularly the DNA code and the I Ching code, which is contained as the central component, which I show in The Mayan Factor. There are no other codes like this on the planet.
GALACTIC SYNCHRONIZATION AND UFOS
In 2012 we will be at a place on the spiral, where only maybe one turn up on this particular beam, where we were in 3113 B.C., and what that means is that there’s a fresh start, and I think it means for ourselves here that there’s an evolutionary jump. The cycle that I’ve been talking about, the Great Cycle, is only a sub-factor of another larger cycle and all cycles – they go up (macro), and they go down (micro). The larger cycle that we’re dealing with is an approximately 26,000-year cycle that also ends in 2012. If you go back 26,000 years, this cycle roughly encompasses the evolutionary stage of Homo Sapiens. The peak of the last Ice Age was in 24,000 B.C. This is when what we call “modern humanity” emerged. So, this 26,000-year cycle actually encompasses five Great Cycles. We’re in the fifth and last of a set of Great Cycles that began in 24,000 B.C. It’s on this basis that we’re looking at 2012 as being a very, very critical junction. It’s what I refer to as “galactic synchronization”, and it also is a major evolutionary shift. The next evolutionary shift will occur in 2012.
There are other dimensions of reality, and there are more advanced stages of being and intelligence than ours. The universe is benign and compassionate. No one’s out to destroy us. UFO activity has increased since we entered a critical pollution stage, which followed the introduction of radioactive waste into the environment in 1945. It’s been since that point that the modern phenomenon of UFO’s has been with us. There is definitely a relationship between the Mayan factor and the UFO phenomenon, and I think that we can anticipate that the UFO activity will intensify. We must understand and realize that we are dealing with galactic civilization. That realization will facilitate a return to our own highest being, to our own receivers opening up, and the information, which right now we refer to as the information of the Mayan factor, will be information easily accessible to everybody.
