The Local Interstellar Medium
Now, thanks to our study of the fossil record, combined with Tifft’s and Aspden’s models, it may be that all of the changes we have listed are caused by the solar system moving into a more highly charged area of energy in the galaxy. This appears to be directly affecting the behavior of our planets and their moons—showing an overall energetic increase as matter itself goes through a change of state, and the flow of time speeds up at the quantum level. If we are indeed moving into such a new zone in the galaxy, then we would expect to see an increase in the amount of dust and energized particles in our local interstellar medium—which is the area of the galaxy immediately surrounding our Sun’s magnetic field. Dr. Don Shemansky, a NASA scientist, reveals that NASA has had a “persistent, pernicious bias” against anyone trying to do research on possible changes in the local interstellar medium.154 Does NASA know something that they would like to keep a secret from the public? Have they been quietly documenting this interplanetary climate change, and putting the pieces together? Have they decided that humanity is too immature to handle the big picture? It is certainly possible.
However, some of these studies have made it through the cracks. In 1993, a NASA probe detected ionized helium and extreme ultraviolet radiation in the local interstellar medium for the first time. This led astronomers to realize that “the hot, ionized gas of the local interstellar medium extends much farther than previously thought.”155 In 2000 ESA/ NASA reported steady increases in the density and temperature of helium in the outer areas of the Sun’s magnetic field. One scientist said, “It’s not yet clear that the source of the helium is [from the local] interstellar [medium]. But we’ve done everything we can to remove sources within the [Sun’s own magnetic field] and the density’s still going up. . . .”156 He goes on to say, “A continued elevation would raise interesting questions about what’s going on immediately outside our Sun’s sphere of influence.”
By 2003, the Ulysses probe measured dust in the interstellar medium at a “factor of 4 to 5 larger” (i.e., 400–500 percent more dust) than what had previously been seen in ground-based observations, leading NASA/ JPL to suggest that there may be “an enhancement of interstellar dust in the local interstellar medium.”157 As of August 2003, an ESA/NASA experiment called DUST, launched with the Ulysses satellite in 1990, discovered that 300 percent more galactic dust streamed into the solar system between 2000 and 2003 than occurred throughout all of the 1990s.158 In 2009, NASA made a startling announcement about these ongoing changes in the “Local Fluff” outside our solar system.
The solar system is passing through an interstellar cloud that physics says should not exist. . . . Using data from Voyager, we have discovered a strong magnetic field just outside the solar system . . . [it] is much more strongly magnetized than anyone had previously suspected—between 4 and 5 microgauss.159
NASA scientist Richard Mewaldt announced that “in 2009, [galactic] cosmic ray intensities [from outside the solar system] have increased 19 percent beyond anything we’ve seen in the past fifty years. . . . The increase is significant.”160 In 2008, NASA announced that the Sun’s magnetic field, which extends well beyond Pluto’s orbit, had shrunk by 25 percent in the last decade and was now at its lowest level since the beginning of the space race fifty years ago.161
NASA scientists were baffled by this, but if we are moving into a zone of higher pressure in the local interstellar medium, this could obviously compress the Sun’s magnetic field. Lastly, although scientists think it is “purely coincidental,” not part of any natural law, all the energy and dust clouds in the local interstellar medium are expanding outwardly . . . away from the center of the galaxy: “For an observer at the Sun, the interstellar wind seems to flow [out] from the central part of the galaxy (the Sagittarius area).”162
This incoming energy does appear to have bioactive properties. In 2007, scientists from Arizona State University announced that salmonella bacteria became 300 percent stronger after being flown in NASA’s space shuttle Atlantis. Fully 167 different genes changed—making it three times more likely to cause disease.163 In 2008, it was announced that the Chinese were growing fruits and vegetables that were massive in size, such as twenty-one-pound tomatoes—simply by flying the seeds through space first.164 Dr. James Spottiswoode found that the earth’s alignment with the galaxy could create up to a 450 percent increase in psychic accuracy each day—within one hour of 13:30 local sidereal time—and the effect held true over twenty years’ worth of trials.165
The Darwinian model of evolution has been proven incorrect at every turn. What the fossil record shows is sudden, spontaneous changes from one form to another, like simple shellfish with external skeletons into complex bony fish with internal skeletons. No transitional fossils have been found for this and many other similar examples, like the transition from finned to limbed creatures. Furthermore, Drs. David Raup and John Sepkoski have discovered that these mass evolution events occur, like clockwork, every 26 million years in the fossil record—while Muller and Rohde found a 62-million-year cycle. This appears to be caused by geometric forces in the galaxy, as we said. How could the simple presence of a higher frequency of galactic energy affect DNA? As we said in chapter 10, Dr. Peter Gariaev was able to completely transform a frog embryo into a salamander embryo, causing a complete, fast-processing mutation, without conventional gene splicing of any kind . . . using nothing more than a laser beam. In Gariaev’s experiment, all that was required to transform DNA was a sufficient source of energy—in this case a laser light. Now, in our entire solar system, a similarly great source of energy appears to be streaming in from the galaxy’s own natural energy fields. It may be actively transforming earth, the sun, the planets and their moons. Since we are living on the earth, we might also be feeling the effects of this transformation—through a transformation of consciousness as well as biology and physical matter. Dr. John Hawks revealed genetic proof that human evolution is now moving 100 times faster than it was five thousand years ago, with fully 7 percent of our genetic material having transformed during this time—and the rate is continually accelerating.166
The Nineveh Constant
I’ve saved the best for last. Maurice Chatelain, the director of communications for NASA’s Apollo program while working for North American, a major defense and aerospace contractor, published some incredible cycle research in his classic book Our Ancestors Came from Outer Space. What do you get when you mix together 240 cycles of the 25,920-year precession? And who might have known about it? Chatelain studied the Sumerian clay tablets, which were apparently written in 700 B.C., and described events that took place three thousand years before they were imprinted. The Sumerian tablets were first translated in 1872 by George Smith, a young English Assyriologist. Chatelain explained how he found a tremendous new cycle on these same tablets.
Among the tablets translated by Smith was a certain quantity that contained nothing but numbers, fantastically huge numbers, apparently derived from very complicated calculations. . . . The translation into our decimal system was finally published a few years ago, and one number stood out. It consisted of fifteen digits: 195,955,200,000,000. . . . Many specialists in different countries tried to find out what this fantastic number could have meant three thousand years ago to the Assyrians, who were not known to be great mathematicians or astronomers. It seemed that [Assyrian king] Assurbanipal must have found this number somewhere, probably in Egypt, or Chaldea, or even in Persia.
I personally discovered the existence of the number in 1955, when I had just arrived in California. . . . Then in 1963 in Paris, when I was told about the calendar of the Mayas, who also calculated with enormously high numbers, I remembered this number from Nineveh, and began suspecting that it could somehow prove there was a tie between the Assyrian and the Maya civilizations. At that time I made some calculations, which showed that the Nineveh number could also be expressed as 70 multiplied seven times by 60. Then one day I remembered that the
Sumerians . . . used calculations based on multiples of sixty, more than three thousand years ago. We still do not know for sure who the Sumerians were and where they came from, but we have found out that they were truly great astronomers who knew the revolution periods of all the planets of the solar system, including Uranus and Neptune. They were the ones who divided the day of 86,400 seconds into 24 hours of 60 minutes with 60 seconds each.
Immediately, the realization came to me that the number of Nineveh represented the value of a very, very long period of time . . . expressed in seconds. It did not take long to calculate that the number of Nineveh with its fifteen digits was equal to [exactly] 2,268 million days of 86,400 seconds each. That was a good start, but did not answer the main question—what did this huge time span of more than 6 million years [about 6.2 million, to be exact] stand for?167
Did you catch that? The Sumerian cycle is 6.2 million years long. Ten of those cycles are 62 million years long—which is exactly the length of time Muller and Rohde discovered as a cycle of sudden species evolution in the fossil record. Now we may be seeing yet additional information suggesting that the ancients knew about these cycles—even on a galactic level. I was truly astonished when I first realized how this Sumerian cycle fit in with the evolution we see within the fossil record. It really does demonstrate how knowledgeable our ancient ancestors were—and how much of a story there is behind the 2012 prophecies.
Let’s continue with Chatelain, as this isn’t even half of what he discovered with this cycle.
[This 6.2-million-year cycle] was certainly longer than the age of man on earth. Then the thought flashed in my mind that the clever Sumerians were familiar with, among other things astronomical, the precession of the equinoxes.168
When I first read this part in 1993, I didn’t understand what the precession was, and I found it all highly frustrating. But now I know. And it is very exciting.
This movement [of the precession] has a cycle of about 26,000 years, or 9.450 million days of 86,400 seconds each. When I divided the Nineveh number by the cycle of the precession of the equinoxes, also called the Big Year, I had the greatest surprise of my life. The sacred number of Nineveh divided exactly into 240 Big Years of 9.450 million days each.
The Sumerians—an ancient culture—were tracking a cycle that is a direct subdivision of the 62-million-year cycle in the fossil record. This 62-million-year cycle also shows up as a galactic octahedron, or cube, that our solar system see-saws through as we travel along. Better yet, this same Sumerian cycle—one-tenth of the 62-million-year fossil cycle—can directly subdivide into the precession of the equinoxes by a factor of 240. Knock off the zero and you have twenty-four, which is two times twelve—and we’ve already seen how prevalent twelve-sided geometry is. We may now have a unified model that directly links the precession to the 62-million-year evolution cycle.
How did the Sumerians figure this out? And let’s not forget that this number was expressed not in years, not in months, not in weeks, not in days, not in hours, not in minutes, but in seconds. The complexity is astonishing, and yet it all fits together. And that’s just the beginning of all the goodies that are hiding in this cycle.
The Great Constant of the Solar System
Chatelain had done enough research to know that the ancients were after a holy grail of their own—the true Master Number that all other cycles, including every orbit of every planet, were being driven by.
Then came my conclusion that this enormous number of Nineveh could very well be the long-lost magic number called the “Great Constant of the solar system,” the number that alchemists, astrologers, and astronomers had been looking for for a very long time, while their ancestors were familiar with it more than 3,000 years ago. . . .169
Now he sets up the rules for how this Great Constant works.
If the number of Nineveh really was the Great Constant of the solar system, it had to be an exact multiple of any revolution or conjunction period of any planet, comet, or satellite of the solar system. It took some time to do this work and lots of numbers, but just as I had thought and expected, every period of revolution or conjunction of all the solar system bodies calculated by the Constant of Nineveh corresponded exactly, down to several decimal points, with the values given in the modern tables of United States astronomers—and nearly so with the French tables, which give slightly different numbers for the planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
I have not been able to find even a single period of revolution or conjunction of a solar system planet or satellite that would not be an exact fraction, down to the fourth decimal point, of the Great Constant of the solar system. For me that is a sufficient proof that the Nineveh Constant is a true solar constant, and has full validity today—as it had when it was calculated many thousands of years ago.170
Even Pluto, way out at the far edge of the solar system, moving so slowly, fits this cycle perfectly with only a very small tweak.
The sidereal year of Pluto has been estimated by American astronomers to be 90,727 solar days. But sometimes, as in the case of the comet Kohoutek in 1975, astronomers too make some mistakes. Since its discovery, Pluto has made only about one fifth of its voyage around the sun, so a slight mistake in observations is possible. A negligible error of only seven days in the calculated long year of Pluto would be perfectly excusable. So let’s suppose that the true year of Pluto is, in reality, 90,720 solar days. Now the Constant of Nineveh represents exactly 25,000 revolutions of Pluto—and this can be no more a coincidence than the fact that it also represents exactly 240 cycles of precession of the equinoxes.171
Tying It All Together
Pluto goes through 25,000 cycles every time this 6.2-million-year Nineveh Constant happens. Four of these Nineveh cycles add up to 24.8 million years, which seems close to Raup and Sepkoski’s 25-to-26-million-year cycle in the fossil record. Forty of these Nineveh cycles harmonize with the 250-million-year orbit of the galaxy, if the exact value is 248 million years. It really does seem that everything fits. The Maya calendar may have used the 260-day tzolkin as a much smaller version of this master cycle to serve a similar purpose. Elsewhere in the same book, Chatelain gives stunning proof that the ancient Maya civilization also had a number that allows us to calculate the Great Constant of the solar system.172 The Maya calendar cycles have therefore been clearly correlated with geometric phenomena that begin at the quantum level, extend through into the behavior of the earth and the rotation of its dodecahedron-shaped core, move on through the relationships of the solar system, and now appear to extend through the entire galaxy. These geometries create coherence, and since they are structures in time, they may allow for seemingly enormous blocks of time to be traversed instantaneously—and allows dinosaurs to appear in the present-day earth. This also suggests that when we finally move into a new sphere of galactic energy, many more portals of time will open up to us. The transformations in the solar system, as well as the enigmas of rapidly increasing human evolution, suggest that major changes are under way.
Were the American founding fathers quoting an accurate prophecy when they referred us to the Sibylline mystery texts from Virgil’s Fourth Eclogue—predicting a Golden Age in which “heroes and gods comingle” and we all gain these supernatural abilities, so that “the Golden One shall arise again in the whole earth?” Are we being led through a galactic evolution, and have not yet seen the full extent of who and what we will become? I will now share a bit more of the ancient traditions with you and let you decide for yourself.
CHAPTER NINETEEN
Not Just a Golden Age
Throughout this book, we’ve been trying to discover whether the 2012 prophecies of a Golden Age are genuine—and we’ve come up with a very clear case for DNA and consciousness evolution, as well as the possibility that some sort of dimensional shift may be going on as well. So let’s finish our quest to understand the legends of a Golden Age. If we want to know how the tradition got started in Western culture, we need to go back to the ol
dest literature in the Western world that described it—the classical literature of Greek and Roman times—and search for clues to reveal the even more archaic roots of these Golden Age prophecies.
