From the I-Ching to 2012: Terrance Mckenna’s Amazing Theory and the Unique Event for Humanity

Terrance McKenna, a recently deceased philosopher, scientist (and some may say eccentric), was a complex man with a complex theory that ended in a simple statement: December 2012 will be a time we will never forget.

After intensively studying the I-Ching, the ancient Chinese oracle known as the “book of changes” (some say with the help of psychoactive plants in the Amazon) began to see patterns. The I-Ching is made up of 64 hexagrams, which are made up of six levels, each of which alternate horizontal bars and dots. If you line them up and stack them to fit within a perfect square, you start to see movement within the shapes.

He decided to create a linear model starting in time with the era in which the I-Ching was created in China and continuing to the present to see what patterns develop. When he entered this information into a computer program, he made a graph with a rising and falling line, like a stock market forecast. Then he noticed something amazing. The parts of the line that were higher or lower corresponded to times in history when new forms were being developed.

When the line reached a peak, a new shape would unleash people’s psyches. When the line fell into a rift, it lined up with a moment when reality seemed to crumble, or there was one big event, or a group of events at once, galvanizing people. (The graph indicates when, not where or what happens.)

You can see from the graph that important things are happening at peaks and valleys, both. My personal theory is that spikes are when the lights come on and someone embodies this by creating some new shape (which may not be assimilable and is therefore feared or avoided). Low points are when the lights go out and everyone struggles to find the switch because nothing is recognized. Each requires a new form for it to exist, but for a different reason.

Following the line on the graph, we see that it takes its last rise around the time of Classical Greece (around 700 BC) and then takes a steady leap until it just plunges off the graph at infinity, ending the modulus . And when was this event that had never occurred in human history, you may ask? It was 2012. December 21, 2012 to be exact; the final moments of the Mayan Calendar, too, a calendar that had started 5000 years ago, ending with the same date Terrance’s module ended.

Terrance saw this time period end with time compression, over and over again, from 1945 to 2012. What can we expect from this based on his calculations and findings of correlations of past event cycles?

McKenna said in an interview with the television show Sightings that his best guess is that it’s like someone is going to invent some kind of time travel machine, because it’s like the end of linear time. In other words, all time merges into time. Everything connects with everything else. Past, present and future become one. In fact, we could be experiencing an infinite amount of evolution in a finite time.

Around 1968 the last peak occurred. This coincided with a very tumultuous time in our cultural history in the United States. As hippies frolicked and tried to create Nirvana on earth, the Vietnam War escalated to its last deadly launches, and Martin Luther King’s message came amid riots and violence until his voice was silenced. We can see that this peak provided great events that touched the psyche of a group of people and it still resonates today.

As we move forward in time, we experience faster evolutionary growth in shorter periods of time. The last one we had was between that time from 1967-68 to the 1990s, which corresponded to The Dark Ages of the past. Then cycle again from 2010 to 2012, just 64 times faster, then in 2012, 64 times faster still. In other words, we must adapt and evolve 64 times faster in each cycle. (Remember what I said earlier about 64 being the number of hexagrams in the I-Ching).

Nobody really knows what will happen. As the different views on this time period converge, this date of 2012 begins to be known in the mainstream culture. Whether you take it seriously or not, people are starting to notice. And when that happens, like compressed and accelerated time, attention draws energy to the date and accelerates that energy to us, creating an accomplished fact.

As we get closer and closer to 2012, I think it will be important to be able to be incredibly agile, release the old people willingly, and adapt to every rapidly changing circumstance with quick decisions in the moment, decisions that come from the heart. . This will ensure that we are where we need to be in the best interest of our soul and that we will be there in peace.

We won’t have to look at a graph, know how fast things are speeding up, or ask someone what we should be doing. We will only know. If what Terrance McKenna says is true, this will be a day out of time while we are still on earth, and it could provide an opportunity for this life and all lives for every soul on earth.
