Time Wave Zero

Terrence Mckenna  was known as a psychedelic shaman. He was a great thinker,a prolific writer and ethnobotanist, but spent most of his time trying to educate people about DMT. DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) is a psychedelic drug  different from LSD. He believed it took you to another level of consciousness,put you in contact with extraterrestrials and opened the portal to astral travel through the brain’s pineal gland (known as the third eye).

    He was a fascinating character,whether you agree with his beliefs or not. Along with his brother he invented something called the Time Wave Theory. He took a keen interest in the ancient Chinese I-Ching which means “Book Of Changes”. The book is described as “a symbol system used to identify order in chance events.The text describes an ancient system of cosmology and philosophy that is intrinsic to ancient Chinese cultural beliefs.The cosmology centres on the ideas of the dynamic balance of opposites, the evolution of events as a process, and acceptance of the inevitability of change.In Western cultures and modern East Asia, the I Ching is sometimes regarded as a system of divination. The classic consists of a series of symbols, rules for manipulating these symbols, poems, and commentary.”

    The I-Ching is made up of 64 binary mathematical patterns that are called hexagrams. These hexagrams are made up of different line patterns that change according to yin and yang,and I am guessing,the changing of the world and how it can be applied to your life. There are 64 different hexagrams in total. They look like this :

   With an ingenious idea, Mckenna decided to mathematically collapse these hexagrams into a fractal wave pattern so he could map the change of what he called “novelty” in our world over time. Novelty means newness,change,innovations or as he puts it “the appearance of life in an inorganic world, of consciousness in an unconscious world, or of language in a world without language .” So it’s the mapping of changes from the creation of earth and the formation of life, to important human creations like language or the birth of religions etc…All the big transitions in epochs are mapped out on a graph on the computer. Now how the hell you do that using mathematics and the I-Ching I have no idea!!! 

  Now for the really interesting, nail biting part of this time wave theory…drumroll please…………Starting from the big bang and mapping time for 25 billion years his wave suddenly and inexplicably STOPS on December 21st 2012!! He calls this the Omega Point or the Zero Point hence “Time Wave Zero”. Even more interesting to note is that neither he nor his brother were aware of the Mayan calendar ending on that exact day! Repeat after me ::::Holy Fuck Balls::::

   Just considering for a moment everything that has happened over the last 25 BILLION years,most of which we probably aren’t even aware of,I am at a loss. From the extinction of the dinosaurs, to ice ages to global flooding etc…I have to wonder what the hell could possibly completely STOP the time wave when it ebbed and flowed with all kinds of extremely dramatic changes on earth for all this time??

Mckenna theorizes this “Novelty Theory suggests that on December 21 of 2012 AD, at the coincidence of the moment of the solstice and the heliacal rising of the galactic center, levels of planetary novelty will exponentially increase. Theory does not make clear the nature of the ultranovel event, however. Speculation as to the nature of the encounter with the trans-dimensional object at the end of time includes the following:

Hyperspatial Breakthrough
Planetesimal Impact
Alien Contact
Historical Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis of Natural Law
Solar Explosion
Quasar Ignition at the Galactic Core “

   That’s quite a list! Or maybe we all turn back into frogs? Is instantaneous metamorphic degeneracy a possiblity?  Top THAT Mckenna! You think you’re sooooo smart…. Actually, Terrence died in 2000 so I apologize. RIP. For more info on the Time wave theory and what it looks like, here are a couple of links-

    I don’t know what will happen on 12-21-2012 but it certainly doesn’t sound like a day that will go by unnoticed. I also can’t help but wonder if the goverments and NASA might already have an idea of what it is. If there is truth to both the Time Wave Theory and The Mayan Calendar it would make Al Gore’s global warming theories one of the greatest hoaxes of our generation. The idea of  misuse or overuse of fossil fuels and excess CO2 causing this degree of global problems just isn’t cutting it for me anymore.

The excessive amount of earthquakes have become frightening.Our news doesn’t really talk about it but Sumatra/Indonesia is STILL getting big earthquakes and Tsunami warnings all the time. The last one was just last month. Israel,which on average has one earthquake per century,has gotten six just this year! That last one was a 5.3 and it ripped a hole in the Temple Mount. Now for religious people that could be seen as a sign.

  If it IS something like planetesimal impact or major solar explosion and they know about it then there would have to be a great cover-up taking place to avoid mass hysteria. In theory it would have to include control over the population through distraction,lies and manipulation. The distraction could possibly be wars and the constant threat of (manufactured) terrorism. The manipulation could be through the media and also through all the drugs they are finding in our food and water supply that change people’s moods,health and even IQ. This is all just hypothesizing of course,there is no proof yet. Plus, it would have to be a lot of nations doing this,not just America. What’s happening here seems to be more of a political agenda so far.

The enormous Doomsday seed vault in Norway is pretty peculiar timing though. I think most people are aware of the underground bunkers/cities that governments around the world have had for years.All paid for by our taxdollars of course. It wouldn’t be unlike them to cover it up and then let the cat out of the bag and run underground. Only time will tell what the hell is really going on and by then it could be too late anyway.

  Terrence Mckenna I think believed that this date would bring either hyperspacial breakthrough or historical metamorphosis or both. At least I think he had FAITH that that’s what it would be. He didn’t have a particular religion but he believed in a creator or creators of higher intelligence and a greater existence beyond this rat race run by greed and materialism. Therefore he was on the same plane as people who believe in God. Always reaching for something greater to make a connection. I have a great respect for him even though his methods were pretty out there and involved heavy psychedelic drug use which I can’t condone. His end goal was much the same as a lot of people. I’m going to end this with a snippet from him which considering he is no longer with us is all the more poignant :

“We are flesh which has been caught in the grip of some kind of an attractor that lies ahead of us in time, and that is sculpting us to its ends; speaking to us through psychedelics, through visions, through culture, and technology, consciousness. The language forming capacity in our species is propelling itself forward as though it were going to shed the monkey body and leap into some extra-surreal space that surrounds us, but that we can not currently see. Even the people who run the planet, the World Bank, the IMF, you name it, they know that history is ending. They know by the reports which cross their desks: the disappearance of the ozone hole [?], the toxification of the ocean, the clearing of the rain forests. What this means is that the womb of the planet has reached its finite limits, and that the human species has now, without choice, begun the decent down the birth canal of collective transformation toward something right around the corner and nearly completely unimaginable. And this is where the psychedelic shaman comes is because I believe that what we really contact through psychedelics is a kind of hyperspace. And from that hyperspace we look down on…, we look down on both the past and the future, and we anticipate the end. And a shaman is someone who has seen the end, and therefore is a trickster, because you don’t worry if you’ve seen the end. If you know how it comes out you go back and you take your place in the play, and you let it all roll on without anxiety. This is what boundary dissolution means. It means nothing less than the anticipation of the end state of human history.”

“This is not a dress rehearsal for the apocalypse. This is not a pseudo-millenium. This is the real thing folks. This is not a test. This is the last chance before things become so dissipated that there is no chance for cohesiveness. We can use the calender as a club. We can make the millenium an occasion for establishing an authentic human civilization, overcoming the dominator paradigm, dissolving boundaries through psychedelics, recreating a sexuality not based on monotheism, monogamy and monotony. We.. All these things are possible if we can understand the overarching metaphor which holds it together which is the celebration of mind as play, the celebration of love as a genuine social value in the community. This is what they have suppressed so long. This is why they are so afraid of the psychedelics, because they understand that once you touch the inner core of your own and someone else’s being you can’t be led into thing-fetishes and consumerism. The message of psychedelics is that culture can be re-engineered as a set of emotional values rather than products. This is terrifying news. And if we are able to make this point then we can pull back, we can pull back and we can transcend. Nine times in the last million years the ice has ground south from the poles pushing human populations ahead of it and those people didn’t f*ck up. Why should we then? We are all survivors. We are the inheritors of a million years of striving for the unspeakable. And now with the engines of technology in our hands we ought to be able to reach out and actually exteriorize the human soul at the end of time, invoke it into existence like a UFO and open the violet doorway into hyperspace and walk through it, out of profane history and into the world beyond the grave, beyond shamanism, beyond the end of history, into the galactic millenium that has beckoned to us for millions of years across space and time. THIS IS THE MOMENT. A planet brings forth an opportunity like this only once in its lifetime, and we are ready, and we are poised. And as a community we are ready to move into it, to claim it, to make it our own. It’s there. Go for it, and thank you.”
