The Egyptians called the precession cycle the “Phoenix Cycle.” Some say that the “calendar in stone” of the Great Pyramid describes the Phoenix Cycle. Converting dates to the present time period shows the end of the Phoenix Cycle happening in 2012 C.E. Whether the date is contrived to fit the Mayan end date or whether it’s an exact conversion is hard to tell. Either way, it’s in the ballpark.

If you ever studied Greek mythology, you know the legend of the phoenix, a mythical bird that builds a nest at the end of its lifecycle and ignites it. The nest and bird burn to ashes and a new young phoenix rises from the ashes.

So there you go—another cycle ending that predicts the destruction of the old and the rising from the ashes of the new. The phoenix is still used today to symbolize resiliency, immortality, regeneration, healing, and divinity.

Near-Death Experiences

Remember Dannion Brinkley from Chapter 12? He was struck by lightning in 1975 and was clinically dead for 28 minutes before being revived. His account of this experience was detailed and life altering. He recounts going down a tunnel of light, passing through a life-recall, and then being shown significant earth events. Brinkley was shown that the earth would undergo an electromagnetic polar shift between 2012 and 2014. He went on to say that there would be the “return of an energy system that existed here a long time ago.” He claimed the process would be a tremendous spiritual opportunity to raise mankind’s consciousness.

Other people who’ve had a near-death experience also report seeing earth changes and consciousness shifts associated with 2012. As we approach 2012, more and more people are reporting feeling the energy shifts associated with this time period. We described this process in Chapter 19. People are having out-of-body experiences (astral projection), lucid dreams, remote viewing, and trance states.

Codex Cues

You can read about the dimethyltryptamine hormone in the book DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Dr. Rick Strassman (Park Street Press, 2000).

A newly discovered molecule called dimethyltryptamine (DMT) produced by the pineal gland produces altered states of consciousness, or trance states, indicating that trance states are a natural part of human consciousness. Some think the change in UV light caused by the decreasing ozone layer is activating people’s pineal glands causing higher production of DMT, preparing us physically for the times we are in.

You Were Born to Be Here

It’s not an accident that you were born at this specific time in history, in the specific place you live. This is a time of immense opportunity. You are here to seize the day; to see the condition the world is in, and act to change it; to see that the world is a reflection of your own inner beliefs and use that reflection to face your own shadow; to use the power of your mind to create a new reality. Just as the power of our collective minds created the suffering we face, we have the power to change. It takes a special individual to effect this change; you are that individual.

The Chilam Balam has much to say about this. The “singing Chilam,” writer of the Chilam Balam, tells us that the ancient Maya had a job to do. They had to listen to the words of wisdom from the “Lords of Light,” or masters, and return during the end times to spread awareness. The masters also promise to return and awaken those who have heard the truth in the past, restoring their memory. The same promise is made in many ancient predictions.

How Do You Know?

Some of you might be wondering how you know that you were born for this time. The fact that you’re reading this book, or any book on 2012, is your first clue! Look inside yourself right now and ask: Is it an accident? You already know the answer, but here’s a list of some of the clues; it’s not comprehensive and you don’t have to answer yes to every item:

◆ Do you have a love of nature?

◆ Do you feel regenerated in the natural world?

◆ Do you feel drawn to visit the sacred sites of different
