What Was The Harmonic Convergence

by Steve Beckow,

Although many people joined to make the Harmonic Convergence possible, it�s generally associated

with the work of Jose Arguelles.

About the Harmonic Convergence

There comes a point when things have to change.

A vibration signal was sent out.

Where the signal was coming from�whether it was coming from our genetic coding, whether

it was coming from the Earth, whether it was coming from outer space, or whether it was

coming from all of those�this signal went out and people responded to a signal.

It is very much like when a species gets a signal to change the direction of its migration

pattern.

The signal was, �go back to the Earth � if you want peace on this planet, go back to

the Earth.

� Jos� Arguelles on the Harmonic Convergence In 1987 Jos� Arguelles launched a word-of-mouth

Harmonic Convergence campaign calling for 144,000 �Sun dancers� to gather near sacred

sites at dawn on August 16 and 17 to �open the doors to the final 26 years of the 5,125-year

Mayan Great Cycle,� an era of unprecedented change and preparation for a new evolutionary

cycle on Earth.

The Harmonic Convergence was celebrated worldwide by tens of thousands if not millions of people

and marked the first time human beings simultaneously coordinated their prayers, meditations, and

ceremonies at sacred sites around the planet.

This was the first manifestation of a networked thrust toward a unified moment of collective

synchronization.

Everyone from Shirley MacLaine to Timothy Leary to John Denver celebrated the event.

Even talk show host Johnny Carson got his studio audience to OM on behalf of the event.

Many people reported significant shifts in consciousness and a reorientation in their

life patterns.

The dates of the Harmonic Convergence were based on prophetic events beginning with Good

Friday 1519 when Cortez led the invasion of the Spaniards into Mexico.

This day on the Mexican sacred calendar marked the precise end of a 52-year cycle.

Since then, nine 52-year cycles had elapsed, coming to a close on August 16, 1987.

This also marked the last day of the nine hell cycles as prophesied by Mexican prophet

Quetzalcoatl.

It was a signal indicating that only twenty-five years remained before the end of the Mayan

Great Cycle of History, which occurs on December 21, 2012.

Arguelles believed that the Harmonic Convergence was an event with meaning extending into other

dimensions.

What was occurring was a prophetic enactment on the third dimension was something that

had been previsioned and foretold at a higher level, in another dimension and in another

time, by seers whose sole purpose it is to monitor the karmic unfolding of this planet.

In the August 11th, 1987 edition of The New York Times, in the article: �New Era Dawns�or

Just a New Day?� Jos� Arguelles was quoted:

��The vibratory infrastructure holding the Earth together is in a condition of intense

fever called resonant dissonance.

Influences such as the arms race and insults to the environment could cause the breakup

of the Earth into smaller bodies not unlike the Asteroid Belt�This can be averted, by

harmonic convergence achieved in a synchronized collective of human beings, through which

the possibility of a New Heaven and a New Earth is fully present.�

The following is an interview with Arguelles on July 12, 1987.

Harmonic Convergence Interview

Excerpt from radio conference with Jos� Arg�elles regarding Harmonic Convergence

(July 12, 1987)

Dave Peyton: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to our conference with Dr. Jos� Arg�elles

of Boulder, Col., who has a controversial message for the world.

Dr. Arguelles has captured the attention of many people with his claim that a New Age

will begin on Earth in approximately one month.

Dr. Arguelles was born in 1939 and spent his early childhood in Mexico.

After receiving his PhD in Art History from the University of Chicago, Dr. Arguelles taught

at Princeton University, the University of California at Davis and at the Naropa Institute.

In 1970 he organized the first Whole Earth Festival in Davis which some say launched

the ecology movement.

He has studied the Mayan culture for three decades and has written three books including

Mandala, Earth Ascending and his latest entitled The Mayan Factor which has become an underground

bestseller.

Dr. Arguelles is currently a core faculty member and program coordinator of Creative

Arts for Union Graduate School and director of the Planetary Art Network, a global association

of artists and creative individuals working for �dynamic transformation of the planet.�

DP: Welcome, Dr. Arguelles, to our conference.

I�d like to begin the questioning, while others are getting in line for questions,

by asking to describe briefly where you obtained your belief that a new age is dawning next

month.

JA: This belief comes from a study of the Mayan Calendar which I discovered actually

describes the passage of earth and our solar system through a beam 5,125 years in diameter.

We entered this beam in 3113 BC and leave the beam in 2012 AD. August 16/17 1987 marks

the point in the beam when there is a break in the wave harmonic that this beam represents.

The date also corresponds to prophecies concerning the return of the god/hero Quetzalcoatl/Kukulkan

as well as various other inter-tribal prophecies calling for 144,000 awakened sun dancers to

dance the new age into being.

�

Audience Question #6, Mike Jones: Good Evening.

Dr., you mention that 144,000 people will be �chosen� to start this new age.

Will all of these people know that they have been chosen, and if so, by what means?

JA: The 144,000 people are self-selected.

No one is keeping tabs.

The point is to create a planetary field of trust.

These 144,000 will form a planetary human-to-human power grid that will ground the new frequencies

coming in at that time.

They will catalyze these frequencies by remaining in their integrity.

Their power will be equal to the square of their number 20,736,000,000!

Through them and those attuned to them, there will be an awakening kind of experience that

will catalyze a positive vision of our common destiny into being.

The World will be different as a result.

And everybody will know it.

MJ: I certainly hope you are right.

Thank you.

DP: Dr., it sounds like a new religion.

Is it?

JA: Yes, in a way it is a new religion: the religion of the Earth, a religion that encompasses

all religions and beliefs by shadowing our oneness with the Earth and all of life.

A religion galactically-attuned to the new frequencies so that the timeless values of

service and compassion for the higher good will be re-established in

the hearts of humankind once again.

What Solar Eclipses Can Teach Us About Being Human - Duration: 11:09.

What Solar Eclipses Can Teach Us About Being Human

By Kira M. Newman

Clinical psychologist Kate Russo saw her first total solar eclipse in 1999 on the coast of

France�fulfilling one of the bucket-list items she dreamt up as a teenager. Little

did she know that the experience would change her life and determine the course of her career.

�After it happened, I was so, so gobsmacked and so surprised. I thought I knew what was

going to happen, but I didn�t,� she recalls. �I just knew that I had to see another one.�

�Eclipse-chasers� aim to put themselves in what�s called the path of totality, the

thin region where the sun is completely blocked out. Next Monday, a solar eclipse will occur

where the path of totality arcs across the entire United States, offering Americans a

unique opportunity to witness this astronomical phenomenon.

While partial eclipses are interesting�many people who recall seeing an eclipse probably

saw a partial one�total eclipses are breathtaking. Full darkness descends as the moon blocks

the sun and its shadow covers the Earth. Viewers can remove protective glasses and stare at

the black circle and the �corona� of the sun�the wispy plasma that surrounds all

stars�with their naked eyes.

Since 1999, Russo has traveled around the globe, from Mongolia to Madagascar, to witness

10 total solar eclipses. (They occur somewhere about once every 18 months, although any given

city will only see a total solar eclipse every 375 years.) She has also embarked on a research

program to document and analyze the experiences of eclipse-chasers, publishing her findings

in the books Total Addiction and Being in the Shadow.

We checked in with Russo, who plans to view next Monday�s eclipse from Wyoming, to learn

why eclipses are such powerful experiences�and what that says about humanity.

Kira M. Newman: Based on your research and interviews, what are the common elements of

the experience of viewing a total eclipse?

Dr. Kate Russo: My survey data was interesting because it showed me that, again and again,

the eclipse-chasers were saying the same things. It was so amazing. For the first time, I was

like, Oh my god, I�m not the only crazy one here! There is something about this experience

that is so profound and really life-changing. I basically teased out the common elements

of it, and it creates an acronym called SPACED.

What happens is that you�re standing there waiting for it to happen, and there�s this

�sense of wrongness��that�s the S. You�re picking up that there�s something

in the environment that really is not right. This is the element that�s very hard to

describe to people who haven�t seen it, because they just imagine that it goes from

day to night, and we all experience that every day. But there�s something otherworldly

that happens; you just cannot communicate to other people how weird the environment

gets. We pick up on a very primitive level that this is not right, that this is wrong;

it�s like the rules of nature are turned on their head and it�s just too eerie.

And then that leads to a primal fear. The hair on the back of our neck stands up, we

get goosebumps, and this is the moment where the shadow comes towards us. You�re looking

at the sky and there�s this creeping darkness; it�s so ominous and really wrong and we

just think, What is going on? So, that�s the P, the �primal fear.�

And then as totality comes above you and the darkness descends, and you�re standing there

in the shadow of the moon and you�re looking up and you�re seeing the eclipsed sun, it�s

just the most spectacular thing you�ve seen. I know you�ve seen photos of it, but to

actually see it with your naked eye is just mind-blowing; it�s incredible. That�s

when we get that sense of complete �awe��that�s the A.

We know the emotion of awe involves vastness: We get a sense of the significance of something

and how powerful it is in relation to us, and so we feel insignificant ourselves. We

have to actually change our mental structures to help us understand what we�re seeing

because it�s just so vast, so huge.

I think the awe we experience during a total solar eclipse is very unique because it is

the universe that we are experiencing. When you think about it, you are actually standing

in the shadow of the moon, which is a solar object out there, and it�s the shadow that�s

passing over us�that�s what the darkness is. Therefore, the moon is a three-dimensional

object�and if that�s how vast it is, how much further does the universe extend? I believe

it�s probably the strongest awe we can feel, apart from going into space and seeing our

little planet from above.

So, we feel insignificant, but we also then feel �connected� to something greater�and

that�s the C in SPACED. I myself feel connected to humanity and nature, so I just have this

sense of how we are all one. It doesn�t matter what color, religion, background, culture

you come from, regardless of how you make sense of it, we all experience this. We are

human beings standing there at that moment at that point in time, all connected with

our experience.

We feel connected to our primitive ancestors, as well. I almost feel like time doesn�t

matter anymore and I go back in time and I imagine: What if I�m a primitive ancestor

and I have no idea this is happening and then suddenly everything you know about the world

just disappears and it goes dark? And you absolutely would imagine it was the end of

the world. And so you know how those people would have felt because you�re feeling elements

of that yourself.

And then afterwards is the �euphoria��that�s the E. There�s such a range of intense emotion

over a very, very short period of time, like a rollercoaster that happens within minutes.

You have the most intense highs and it�s just incredible.

And then the total eclipse is over and then we are just left with this �desire to repeat,�

and that�s the D. It�s so strong. If you�re in a group of people who have seen their first

total eclipse, the next question is When�s the next one? People just can�t fathom the

idea that that�s all it is; they have to see it again.

�I think the awe we experience during a total solar eclipse is probably the strongest

awe we can feel, apart from going into space�?Dr. Kate Russo

KMN: How does seeing a total solar eclipse in a group affect the experience?

KR: I�ve seen totality in a group, I�ve seen it by myself, with my partner, I�ve

seen it up in mountains and in the ocean. Every time is different and unique and beautiful.

I think the group experience adds an element to it that is pretty hard to beat. Whenever

you�re plunged into darkness and that ominous feeling, you can feel the group feeling that;

it�s electric. And then as the shadow passes over you, when everyone feels that euphoria,

people scream out, people cry. The noises of the crowds just lift up and the sound really

permeates within you. It is chilling, and that�s the moment that I get goosebumps.

Even now, if I sit here and watch a video clip of totality happening above a crowd,

I get goosebumps watching it�and it�s the sound of the crowd that does it for me.

But also when you�re experiencing totality itself, when you�re experiencing the awe,

you turn inward then. It�s like you�re in a private moment with the universe, and

it�s so, so powerful�it�s kind of like you�re in your own little world, you�re

connected, the universe is speaking to you. And then at the end it goes away and you�re

the crowd�s experience again. Everyone just comes together, there�s such a festive feeling,

there�s a feeling of excitement and connection; you�re hugging people you�ve never seen

before, there are tears, you�re emotional stories.

KMN: I�ve very goosebump-prone, so I�m getting goosebumps just hearing you talk about

it.

KR: I think that there are some people that are primed to be eclipse-chasers. There are

some people who are more sensate than others. If you�re someone who can have a very deep

emotional reaction to a piece of music, for example, or hear someone talking about something

with passion and have it really resonate within you, I think these are the types of people

who become eclipse-chasers when they see a total solar eclipse because the experience

is so profound.

It usually is one of the most profound experiences of people�s lives. I�ve heard grown men

say that it was more important than the birth of their child. It�s very, very powerful.

If you love to travel and you�re one of these people who experience things like that,

and you�ve got little passions and hobbies in your life already, then you�re probably

primed when you see the first total solar eclipse. It might change your life, too.

But you have to see the total eclipse. None of this happens during a partial eclipse.

KMN: You mention that seeing a total solar eclipse can create motivation and meaning

in life for certain people, beyond just the desire to chase eclipses. Can you talk more

about that?

KR: For me, it has given me so much passion and drive to experience life to the full.

Every time I see a total solar eclipse, it just confirms that I�m doing the exact thing

I should be doing, and I just feel so much energy. I feel so humbled that I�ve had

this insight into life, that [otherwise]I may only have gotten through experiencing

loss.

You learn life insights when you�re about to lose someone or when you have lost someone.

You understand that it�s so important to live in the moment, to take things day by

day; you understand that it�s the experiences you have and the people you share them with�that�s

what life is all about. And we tend to only really fully appreciate that when we�ve

lost someone, and then some people go on to say, Okay, I know how fragile life is, I�m

therefore going to make some big changes. The same thing happens during a total solar

eclipse, except there�s no loss. When you ask how has it enriched my life, it just makes

me feel so passionate, so humble; I want to do things for others.

I always say that if everybody sees a

total solar eclipse, the world would be a better place.
