The Venus Transit of June 8, 2004 is clearly the astronomical event of
the year. But it may be much, much more than that. The Venus Transit
has always preceded great breakthroughs in human consciousness and
played a very significant role in the Mayan Calendar. It is also a
turning point in the Vedic tradition. According to the Indian avatar of
enlightenment, Sri Kalki Bhagavan,
the Venus Transit of 2004 will be the actual starting point of the
Golden Age, a process that will come to an conclusion at the next Venus
Transit in 2012. This article presents the significance of the Venus
transit on June 8, 2004 in its larger context and in relation to the
Mayan Calendar. It is also an invitation to take part of a global
celebration of this event called the Oneness Celebration.
The purpose of this article is to describe the role of the Oneness
Celebration at the Venus transit on June 8, 2004 in its larger context.
This will clearly be the “astronomical event of the year”. To begin
with, a Venus transit is an astronomical event where the planet Venus
passes between the Earth and the sun – a sort of eclipse. Venus
transits lasts for 6-7 hours and come in pairs separated by exactly 8
earth years minus two days. As far as human measures go such pairs of
transits occur only rarely.
Below is a list of the years of the most recent occurrences, where the
second transit in the pair is given within parentheses:
Since there is no person alive today who was born in 1882 or earlier
the Venus transit in 2004 will be everyone’s first such experience.
What may we then expect from this occurrence? To find out it is
certainly worth studying what happened in the world earlier in the
first of these pairs of transits.
We may then note that 1518 was when the first circumnavigation of the
globe by Magellan/del Cano was launched (they set sail in 1519). The
impact on the minds of people of this accomplishment was enormous.
Through their journey these captains had shown in practice that the
world was not flat, but spherical. In the following years a new world
view emerged in which it was clear that humans inhabited a globe. The
time of speculation was over and this may be said to have been the
first step in the development of a Global Brain.
The next pair of Venus transits approximately coincided with the
emergence of the first national mail services (Denmark, 1624; Sweden,
1636) and so also seems to be associated with human communications.
Written communications between people, initially in certain countries,
then became routine even over long distances. The second in this pair
of Venus transits is the first that is known to have been observed by
humans.
In the Venus transit of 1761 there is much information to be found. The
study of this event had long been prepared for by astronomers, who were
planning to use their observations as a means of measuring the distance
to the sun. This goal could however only be accomplished if
observations were made all around the world, and for this to happen
astronomers in different countries needed to collaborate.
The transit of Venus across the Sun was observed in 77 different places
ranging from Karesuando to Pondicherry including Tobolsk, Tahiti,
Beijing and Philadelphia. The point to realize here is that this was
the first international collaboration project ever in science. Never
before had scientists belonging to different national academies
collaborated and it was the Venus transit that compelled them to do so.
It may in fact be asked if this was the first international
collaboration project of any kind, wherein different nations
collaborated as such.
Regardless, an important step was taken in bringing the planet together
and it was initiated through an impulse from the Earth’s sister planet
Venus. Putting the idea of international collaboration into practice
was a crucial step in connecting the different peoples of the world.
The Venus transit in 1874 coincided with two very notable occurrences
in the development of the Earth into a Global Brain: The founding of
the World Post Union, and the completion of the Atlantic telegraph
cable in the same year, which both marked fundamental steps in the
development of global communications.
In 1874, moreover, Bell had his first idea of a telephone, which was
patented two years later. In this year it became possible, for the
first time, for people to routinely communicate around the globe as
rapid means for this were developed. Needless to say, today’s Internet
would not have been possible without these preparatory steps in the
development of global telecommunications.
Considering the occurrences accompanying these earlier Venus transits,
and the steps forward in global communications and the evolution of the
global brain that these have entailed, it is timely to ask what will
happen as the next one takes place in 2004. What events and changes
will accompany this? A fundamental difference compared to previous
transits is the advanced state of global communications that now
already exists. Hence, almost everyone in the world will, through
newspapers, letters, telephones and the Internet, have advance notice
of this Venus transit. The new steps forward on the path of humanity
will be taken within the framework of the Global Brain with its nerve
threads, i.e. the telecommunications network, that already exist.
Although this development of the Global Brain has been favoured by the
energies of the katuns (periods of 20 x 360 days = 19.7 years) in the
Mayan calendar in which the Venus transits have occurred, it is hard to
avoid the impression that the very transit of Venus across the sun has
somehow served to concentrate these energies and has sent an
intensifying beam to planet Earth. During the Venus transits the cosmic
energies were thus strongly amplified.
There are however many good reasons to believe that the Venus transit
on June 8, 2004, in contrast to at earlier times, will herald a
development of communications between human beings that is not based on
technology. The chief reason is that we are now at a stage, the
Galactic Underworld in the Mayan calendar, that favours the right brain
half and the intuitive faculties of our mind that are mediated by this.
And so, we may expect that the upcoming Venus transit will launch an
era of communications utilizing mental rather than electromagnetic
fields.
This new field, unlike gravitation in the National Underworld and
electricity in the Planetary, will emerge as a synchronizing field of
consciousness favoring spontaneous flow rather than linear planning.
(Unfortunately it is not widely known that the different Underworlds in
the Mayan calendar determine what fields are open to human beings to
use for communications). Of course, this intuitive field may to some
extent always have existed, but following the upcoming Venus transit
human awareness of it will increase dramatically. This field favoring
telepathic communication may be the most important factor in bringing
about a harmonizing effect on the Global Brain. It is primarily
mediated by the right brain half that at the current stage is favored
by the cosmos, and may be the field of communication that turns the
Earth into a new being, Gaia harmonica.
It seems obvious to a lot of people that the number of synchronicities
(someone calling just when you think of him or her, etc) has increased
sharply in recent times. Yet, these are really only weak premonitions
of the full effects of the telepathic field that will now emerge. If a
sufficient number of people become connected through this field we may
expect that they will be able to harmonize their activities in a much
more natural way than is currently the case. To support the emergence
of this is the whole point with the Oneness Celebration. It may then be
in its place to discuss the relationship between telepathy and the
Oneness Celebration of June 6-8, 2004. If the incorporation of a new
field of intuitive mental communication is the next step in the
development of the Global Brain, how will this affect us as
individuals? Before going into this it should be recognized that it is
impossible to tell exactly what the effects of this emerging field of
telepathy will be.
(Imagine yourself a year before the first circumnavigation of the earth
or the first global telecommunications trying to grasp the
consequences.)
In fact, the Oneness Celebration may be regarded only as the great
opening into this new field. Being able to see into, resonate with and
connect to the thoughts and minds of others must however have a host of
consequences that are difficult to predict in detail, but still
important to ponder. To many that are unprepared some of the changes
may in fact be shocking or hard to understand. Yet, if we imagine a
world without secrets, where you and others are unable to hide their
thoughts from each other, and where we, in a much more profound sense
than currently, are all one, what would life be like?
If intentions or thoughts can not be hidden in this strengthened field
of intuition an enormous amount of plotting against other persons,
hidden agendas, etc, would become useless. Manipulation would cease.
Hostile plans for deceiving others, in personal relations or in
business, would loose their effectiveness. Plans for hurting others
through crime, terror or warfare will become transparent. In general,
it will be obvious to everyone when someone puts his own interest above
the larger whole. Of course, that manipulative behavior or hidden
agendas become clearly visible does not mean that they immediately
would cease, but clear visibility would give others more of a choice as
to how to relate to those with hidden motives.
Those that enter fully into this new field will themselves come to live
in a world that is much more joyous than previously. Honesty and
truthfulness will breed love. The downplaying of conflicts between them
will allow them to function harmoniously amongst themselves. If we are
able to co-create such a field we would start to become one in a very
real sense. As we do, relationships between different individuals, or
groups of people, will start to harmonize to a degree where it is
obvious that hurting another is tantamount to hurting yourself. At the
present time, this idea, that hurting someone else means hurting
yourself however still has much the character of a “nice thought”,
something that express how you think things “should be” although they
really are not. The added clarity of the new vision will alter this.
The breakthrough of a new level of telepathic contact would also mean
that we add a new field of communication to the development of the
Global Brain. This field would bring harmony, since through this
everyone would be attuned to everybody else and to the purpose of the
cosmic plan as well.
While there may remain limits to our ability to enter other people’s
minds, it seems likely that our sensitivity to the existence of hidden
compartments, stored hidden agendas, etc., in others will increase
dramatically. Maintaining such will be a characteristic of those that
choose to see the world through duality and separateness. Of course, if
other people can read your thoughts and be certain about your
intentions, many would feel that they would loose something from this.
This would include many that have judgmental thoughts about themselves
and so want to hide parts of their inner reality. In fact, many whose
intentions are not aligned with the higher good of all will probably
avoid breaking through into Oneness. While it seems obvious that even
in the short term the survival of planet Earth will be favoured by
human beings getting to know how to utilize more extensive fields of
telepathic contact, this would have implications that not everyone is
likely to desire.
As should be obvious from the initial discussion Venus transits may be
alone among astronomical events to have a track record that associates
them with major steps in the development of the Global Brain. (The
completion of the Atlantic telegraph cable in 1874 may for instance be
seen as the creation of a kind of corpus callosum connecting its
Western and Eastern Hemispheres). Because of this track record the
Oneness Celebration at this Venus transit is not just another one in a
number of global meditations that for different reasons have been
proposed in recent years. Rather, previous ones, most notably the
Harmonic Convergence or Harmonic Concordance, may be regarded as
preparatory for the Oneness Celebration, the Venus transit of June 8,
2004. This will carry the major breakthrough in the development of a
new telepathic field on planet Earth, and the co-creation of this is a
pre-requisite for attaining the Enlightened state of Oneness by the
time the next in this pair of Venus transits occurs on June 6, 2012.
For all those wanting to help birth Gaia harmonica, the new harmonious
Global Brain, the Oneness Celebration is the time to do it.
Now, of course, some will say that this field will just emerge
regardless of what we do. ”Did not the Venus transit in 1518 trigger
the first circumnavigation of the Earth without this transit even being
known to the world?” some may ask. Well, maybe we should not be so sure
that our own participation is irrelevant. After all, what it is all
about at the upcomin occasion is the emergence of a mental field that
it is we, the human beings, that are the carriers of. It is entirely
possible that a conscious participation and awareness is needed this
time around. Maybe in fact those that participate fully in such a way
as to receive the new light to the right brain half will be the “meek
who will inherit the Earth”.
What seems likely is that those that truly want to live in accordance
with the harmonizing new field of Gaia harmonica should take the
opportunity of absorbing the energy of the Venus transit fully and
create such a field amongst themselves. This absorption includes the
communication in our own individual brains between the logical left
brain and the intuitive right brain, where it is now the latter that
will be strengthened. And so, while it is possible that the new field
will be there regardless of what we do, it is possible that to get an
entrance ticket we need to act as co-creators. Integrating this
intuitive field and unifying the mentalities of the brain halves, we
may also surmise, are pre-requisites for attaining the Enlightened
state in the years ahead. Although there are a few that may already
have attained this state as individuals, in the case of the Venus
transit we are talking about a major collective push towards that
state; Mass Enlightenment.
Really, what the Oneness Celebration means is a choice, a choice as to
whether to continue living as a separate individual or to harmonize
your life with the greater whole, the Oneness of Gaia harmonica, which
fully experienced is Enlightenment. The upcoming Venus transit will
thus present us, individually and collectively, with a very important
choice to participate or not to participate. To enter the new field or
remain in duality. Telepathy is a meaningless concept if it applies
only to a single individual. Only if a significant number of people
break through to this new field of communication will any individual,
in the full meaning of the word, be able to attain the state of
Enlightenment. Thus, there is a need for a collective breakthrough into
the new telepathic field of communication.
There has been some wondering among people why the changes brought
about by the Galactic Underworld (which began Jan 5, 1999) have, thus
far, seemed so relatively minor. Maybe we have now found the reason –
that this is that this Underworld has not yet been activated by a beam
of a Venus transit. Both the National and Planetary Underworlds had
activating Venus transits in their very first katuns, and one name used
for the Mayan Long Count (National Underworld) was in fact the Birth of
Venus. In the Galactic Underworld, we have had to wait until the Third
Night for this to happen. The Venus transit of June 8, 2004 may be what
really activates the new level of consciousness on.
This overall purpose of the Oneness Celebration of birthing a new field
of telepathic communication has consequences for the type of meditation
that we should conduct during this occasion. If we are open to letting
Gaia develop a new field of telepathic contact, then the focus of the
meditation should be to open ourselves up to this. Given that it is the
right brain half, in resonance with the Eastern Hemisphere, that
primarily will mediate this new field then this fact must be taken into
account in shaping your meditation. If we, in a meditative alpha state
with eyes closed, visualize Light, Cosmic Intelligence, entering
through our right brain, and then let this form an infinite loop
including the left brain for a sustained period during the Venus
transit, then this would mean that we could enter the new field of
telepathic contact. If this happens we will eventually come to live in
a completely open and honest world, free of conflicts. This love may be
ours if we are open to the harmonizing effects of the new field!
Certainly, if a world of extended intuitive awareness seems like a
welcome possibility to you, we urge you to network this idea and start
making presentations on a regular basis to friends and anyone you may
be in contact with. There is no money to gain and there is no money to
loose, but a new world for us all to win. If there is anything we can
be helpful with or have plans for the occasion that you would like to
share please contact us at info@onenesscelebration.com.
