1. "2012: Exopolitics, Global Transformation & Personal Empowerment," by Sol Luckman

Exopolitics is a wide-ranging and often controversial field of inquiry that has gained momentum throughout the world in recent decades. Arguably, based on overwhelming cross-cultural evidence dating back thousands of years, the phenomenon of exopolitics is as old as human history itself. A leading proponent of the study of extraterrestrial intervention in earthly affairs, Dr. Michael Salla, has defined exopolitics as "the study of the key individuals, political institutions and processes associated with extraterrestrial life." In Salla's definition, exopolitics "focuses on the political implications of an extraterrestrial presence known to clandestine quasi-governmental entities that keep knowledge of this presence secret" from the masses.

Those researching and reporting on exopolitics do so with a wide range of more or less obvious agendas, from outright skepticism to scholarly curiosity to starry-eyed, new-age channelings heralding immanent "contact" with entities arriving on spaceships to "save" humanity. I am no skeptic of extraterrestrial existence and even involvement in human affairs, but I do question the wisdom of the widespread tendency to look to the heavens--whether expecting to see Jesus on clouds of glory or fleets of UFOs--for our personal and collective salvation.

I am well aware that to question the "exopolitics-as-savior" agenda is tantamount to heresy among many believers in and proponents of "messianic" extraterrestrial intervention in terrestrial affairs, for whom such a belief is often held with truly religious zeal. I would be remiss, however, if I failed to point out what seems quite obvious: such projection onto yet another "rescuer" represents a perpetuation of the very "victim consciousness" we, as individuals and as a species, are striving to move beyond. In other words, exopolitics can easily and naturally morph into an exercise in personal disempowerment, severely curtailing our ability to adopt unity consciousness and unconditional love that honor divinity in all things.

I have studied the profound--and in my opinion, unparalleled--body of "extraterrestrial" teachings known as The Law of One extensively and feel that, based on this material, contact on a mass scale is not likely to be the objective of those extraterrestrials who desire to serve humanity. The "social memory complex" known as Ra described itself in 1981 through renowned trance channel Carla Rueckert as "an humble astronaut" and member of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator--an alliance of higher-dimensional beings (some of whom we can think of as our "future selves") with a number of duties, one of which being to protect Earth (through a type of quarantine) during our Shift from the third to the fourth dimension.

In 2005 I wrote extensively about this Shift, that by many indications is poised to occur very soon during the 2011-13 window, in my book Conscious Healing, where I drew on the meticulous and intellectually satisfying research of renowned author and psychic David Wilcock, who has substantiated--unambiguously and scientifically--many elements of The Law of One, including the upcoming dimensional Shift, called by Ra Harvest and known in the Christian tradition as Ascension.

Preview the internationally acclaimed work that Nexus New Times called "a paradigm-reworking book" that introduces "a revolutionary healing science that's expanding the boundaries of being."

In The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?: Interdimensional Communication and Global Transformation, Wilcock and co-author Wynn Free first publicized the "Energetic Engine of Evolution," which owing to its importance in explaining the "ener-genetic" transformation now taking place on a global scale, I will briefly recapitulate here. Citing the work of numerous respected researchers, Wilcock outlines a model that unites a variety of disciplines and provides some critical missing elements to the evolutionary picture. In Wilcock's words, this groundbreaking model "suggests that humanity is on the verge of a near-spontaneous metamorphosis into a more highly evolved state of consciousness."

Basing his analysis on the increasingly popular notion that Darwinian evolutionary theory is "extinct," Wilcock observes that the "probabilities that DNA could evolve by 'random mutation' are so minute as to be utterly laughable." Greatly surpassing the reach of the "gradualist" theory of evolution, which certainly occurs as environmental adaptation, the fossil record makes it abundantly clear that species regularly evolve in previously inexplicable leaps and bounds, leapfrogging what would seem from a Darwinian perspective to be necessary evolutionary phases. Atop a long list of species whose evolution has baffled science is the human species.

Although for many decades a "missing link" has been assumed to exist based on unproven Darwinian presumptions, scientists have never managed to find it. "When we consider that the size of the brain literally doubled between that of humanity's apparent ancestors and ourselves, with no evidence of a smooth transformation whatsoever," writes Wilcock, "we see a spontaneous evolution of the creatures on Earth." One scientist associated with National Geographic, studying the complex bone carvings from 70,000 B.C.E. found at Blombos Cave in South Africa, concluded that behavioral evolution reflects physical development--an important observation meaning that (to cite Wilcock) "spontaneous evolution is not simply physiological, but consciousness-related … When a new bodily form has emerged, consciousness changes appear to occur."

Physicist Amit Goswami, author of The Self-Aware Universe: How Consciousness Creates the Material World, advances a parallel theory of evolution in which consciousness is primary and matter is secondary. Goswami similarly points out that natural selection simply cannot account for significant changes in the complexity of systems--as in, from primate to human. "Instead," writes Goswami, such changes "show the quantum leap of a creative consciousness choosing among many simultaneous potential variations." On a related note, human language, as pointed out by well-known linguist Noam Chomsky, clearly does not exhibit a linear development from animal to human speech patterns. "This poses a problem for the biologist," concedes Chomsky, "since, if true, it is an example of a true 'emergence.'"

Such an "emergence," or virtually spontaneous transformation of a species, or Harvest, is a hallmark of Ra's cosmology as articulated in The Law of One, in which souls evolve through dimensions or "densities" from so-called inanimate matter, to animals, to humans, to what might be described as "angelic" incarnations in higher dimensions of existence. A central point here is that such evolutionary leaps are indeed leaps, and typically occur within a single generation. Ra states, "Those who, finishing a cycle of experience, demonstrate … understanding … will be separated by their own choice into" an appropriate and comfortable dimension of experience. "All are harvested regardless of their progress, for [by this time] the planet itself has moved through the useful part of that dimension and begins to cease being useful for … lower levels of vibration."

As indicated by both The Ra Material and the Mayan calendar, rather than in fits and starts, such evolutionary fast-forwards of physiology and consciousness appear to happen in systematized, predictable cycles. Ra points out that in the third dimension of experience, Harvest occurs three times, once every 25,000 years, with those sufficiently evolved in consciousness "making the grade," as it were, to gain admission to Fourth Density.

Fascinatingly, the Mayan calendar can be interpreted to map out a 26,000-year cycle--one, like Ra's model, that ends in a few short years around 2012. Theorizing a "harmonic relationship" between the 26,000-year Mayan calendar and 26-million-year period between extinctions/evolutionary leaps in the fossil record, Wilcock notes that all terrestrial species have suddenly evolved, or metamorphosed, every 26 million years--making a compelling case for "an outside energetic influence that operates in a regular, cyclic fashion."

To understand what outside energetic influence is responsible for these regular evolutionary revolutions, it is necessary to touch on the concept of torsion energy, universal creative consciousness or--in Ra's terminology--"intelligent energy," a subject I elaborate on in considerable detail in Conscious Healing. Some writers, notably Barbara Hand Clow, have focused attention on something called the Photon Band, which can be envisioned as a torsion-wave "light lattice" connecting Earth via our sun to the Core of our galaxy that serves as a guiding data communication network for human as well as planetary evolution. Such an understanding of the universal communication network is deeply "shamanic," underpinning the majority of the world's native wisdom traditions, as well as my own form of energy healing called the Regenetics Method.

Wilcock's impressive body of research indicates that something very much like a Photon Band exists as lines of intelligent, higher-dimensional torsion radiation emanating from Galactic Center. Both Wilcock and Clow envision the Photon Band as tracing figure-eights throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. It appears from Dr. Nikolai Kozyrev's research involving aether that such looping "zero point" energy based on the phi ratio (1.6180339) is, among other things, directly responsible for our spiral experience of time.

From Book One on the Regenetics Method, Conscious Healing: The Photon Band & Black Road. It takes 225 million Earth years for the Milky Way Galaxy to make one complete rotation through the Photon Band, which is believed to be a birth cycle for our galaxy. The Black Road, a Mesoamerican phrase for a type of wormhole, can be conceptualized as simultaneously an astrophysical and genetic alignment with Galactic Center that engenders a Shift in consciousness and physiology.

This same energy, as I will share momentarily, also directly creates our DNA and imprints its inherent phi ratio on practically all of nature's systems, from the way our hair swirls atop our heads, to the growth patterns of leaves on plants, to the unmistakable shape of many seashells. As Geoff Ward observes in Spirals: The Pattern of Existence,

The spiral is the sign of the eternal, creative, unifying and organising force or principle at work in the universe, and especially of the ongoing creation of consciousness. It is a divine mark on nature, what may be termed God's personal signature on the cosmos, the Great Architect's own autograph--from the cradles of stars and planets in the awesome spiral arms of galaxies to the beautiful double helix structure of the DNA molecule [...] As the spiral seems to be integral to physical growth, so it is also the symbolic pattern of human spiritual growth ... [T]he spiral is as much part of our "cultural" DNA as it is part of our biological DNA [...] Indeed, I have come to realise that "spirality"--the condition of being spiral--and "reality" are almost interchangeable terms.

Recalling Kozyrev's aether theories, fellow Russian scientist Sergey Smelyakov's research demonstrates that the harmonic vibrations of phi, also called the Golden Mean and Fibonacci sequence, perfectly inform the fabric of space-time. Mathematically, the Photon Band appears to be structured on phi, producing set galactic intervals the Mayans were obviously aware of when constructing their uncannily accurate calendar and which Ra describes as occurring in virtually clocklike fashion. The Golden Mean further precisely defines the mathematical relationship between "above" and "below." The DNA molecule itself is minutely structured on phi, measuring 34 x 21 angstroms for each full helical spiral.

Smelyakov's "The Auric Time Scale and the Mayan Factor" convincingly affirms that Earth connects to Galactic Center via our solar system in a harmonic fashion he calls "Solar-planetary Synchronism," a vibratory relationship based on the Golden Mean. In an article entitled "The Ultimate Secret of the Mayan Calendar," Wilcock cites Smelyakov's article, writing that this study helps explain the end of the Mayan calendar in geometric terms as an "infinitely-converging end point" in which time appears to "collapse." This is because time as we experience it follows the imploding spirals of phi like a finger tracing the involutions of a conch shell to its center. History thus does not technically repeat itself; it is more like climbing a spiral staircase--one with pronounced evolutionary changes in consciousness and body types as we ascend from floor to floor.

Torsion energy spiraling as the Photon Band from the creative consciousness at the center of our universe--what Ra calls "Intelligent Infinity" or the "Logos"--is Wilcock's Energetic Engine of Evolution. Because of its curvilinear form, the Photon Band comprises swaths of lesser and greater density of torsion waves manifesting as higher-dimensional light. As our solar system orbits periodically into galactic areas characterized by greater density of torsion waves (i.e., greater light or consciousness), which it is now doing, life on our planet, including the living organism that is Earth, is intelligently stimulated to evolve in phenomenal ways--physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. The ancient Hindus were similarly aware of the ener-genetic connection between Galactic Center and DNA, as well as of the many cycles of time ending around 2012, employing the term somvarta to indicate the intelligent waves of Core energy responsible for the spontaneous evolution of species.

A salient point in the developmental model I am sketching here is that evolution of species is not driven by material, but by metaphysical energy, or consciousness, of a spiraling--what I call transgenetic--nature. Swedish Biologist Carl Johan Calleman reaches precisely the same conclusion in The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness, cautioning "against a narrow interpretation of the term cyclical. The Mayan calendar describes evolutionary rather than strictly cyclical processes, so history is more like a spiral of evolution, in which similar types of events are favored at certain points in the cycle." Calleman is quick to clarify that the "results of these cyclical bursts of creativity are never identical; a repetition of identical cycles does not generate evolution. History is rather a process resulting from stepwise increasing levels of consciousness."

In an article published in DNA Monthly entitled "The Real Meaning of the Mayan Calendar," Anthony Goodman writes, "Unlike other calendars, [the Mayan calendar as decoded by Calleman] does not time astronomical bodies. It is purely a calendar, a timeline, of the Evolution of Consciousness. The calendar comprises nine discreet cycles of creation, nested within each other, all ending on a particular date. That date, believed by Calleman to be October 28, 2011, as opposed to the more well-known date of December 21, 2012, is when this phase of conscious evolution ends and a transformation in consciousness takes place."

Reading between the lines, the experienced student of the Mayan calendar will hear in Calleman's words a critique of interpretations of the Mayan calendar as purely a measurement of revolving astronomical cycles--the type of reading given to the Mayan calendar by John Major Jenkins, for example. Instead, Calleman's Mayan calendar is, first and foremost, a map of the evolution of consciousness. Driving home his point, Calleman elaborates that "endlessly repeated identical astronomical cycles could never explain the evolution of consciousness." On the subject of embracing the Mayan calendar as a spiritual map with a clearly defined teleological focus, Calleman writes, "If today we are to embrace a worldview in which consciousness is more important than matter, we … need to base our timekeeping on the nonphysical, invisible reality [that gives rise to reality] rather than on the physical."

Although to the best of my knowledge Calleman is not consciously drawing on The Ra Material, his interpretation of the Mayan calendar is exceedingly consistent on numerous points with Ra's cosmology--and indeed, constitutes a further validation of the latter (in which the "body [the physical] is a creature of the mind"). Certainly, Calleman's central theme, like Ra's, is unity. Ra explicitly describes how our movement into the next density will have the effect of removing the veil in the mind that currently separates human from divine consciousness. In parallel fashion, Calleman writes of the end of the Mayan calendar, "No longer will there be an experience of separation between human beings and God. If we do not experience ourselves as gods, we will, at the very least, experience ourselves fully as the manifestations of the Divine that we truly are."

In The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind, a recent study that builds on Calleman's work, Barbara Hand Clow further elaborates on the very Ra-like idea that mind or consciousness is at the root of all experience: "Time acceleration driving evolution functions in all … dimensions … I believe that time in the ninth dimension is the actual driver of evolution in the Milky Way Galaxy, and I also think this concept is very close to what the Classic Maya thought."

In humans, as I observed back in 2005, evolutionary activation occurs as torsion waves stimulate "jumping DNA" (mobile genetic units that Nobel laureate Barbara McClintock termed transposons) to rewrite the genetic code--a phenomenon supported by a great deal of scientific evidence. Bruce Lipton's research in epigenetics, as detailed in The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, and Miracles, unambiguously demonstrates that cells possess the ability to reprogram their own DNA, with tangible physical results, when environmentally prompted. Dr. Lipton hypothesizes that such rewriting, which is typically favorable to the organism (an important point), accounts for the vast majority of evolutionary (trans)mutation.

In a similar vein, in a study entitled "Retrotransposons as Engines of Human Bodily Transformation," biochemist Colm Kelleher discusses the subject of radical genetic metamorphosis as a result of what he terms a "transposition burst." "If one were to hypothesize a transmutation of the human body," writes Dr. Kelleher, it "would be necessary to orchestrate a change, cell by cell, involving the simultaneous silencing of hundreds of genes and the activation of a different set of hundreds more." Concludes Kelleher, a "transposition burst is a plausible mechanism at the DNA/RNA level that could accomplish such a genome wide change … that eventually results in transformation of the human body."

In much recent literature on the subject, the transfigured body Kelleher envisions has been called the lightbody. Mounting evidence clearly shows that the lightbody is not merely an esoteric fantasy but, at the very least, a bio-spiritual possibility. Many ancient peoples, in fact, believed that to survive and thrive through the Galactic Alignment that is now occurring, one must be willing and able to develop a lightbody--which, according to Ra, is precisely what occurs, for those who have sufficiently prepared themselves, during the dimensional transition to Fourth Density.

Throughout the centuries the lightbody has been called by many names. Other historical names for the lightbody include the "Diamond Body" and "Jade Body" (Taoism), the "Merkabah" (Kabala), the "Adamantine Body" (Tantra), the "Glorified Body" (Christianity), "Holy Flesh" (Catholicism), the "Superconductive Body" (Vedanta), the "Supercelestial Body" (Sufism), the "Radiant Body" (Neo-Platonism), the "Immortal Body" (Hermeticism), the "Body of Bliss" (Kriya Yoga), the "Perfect Body" (Mithraism), and the "Golden Body" (Emerald Tablets). According to author and researcher Sai Grafio, who contributed to the foregoing list, the Tibetan Buddhist tradition is the only ancient tradition that actually refers to our ascensional vehicle as the lightbody. It goes almost without saying that the building of any kind of body, "natural" or "supernatural," is accomplished by way of life's building block, DNA, in one form or another.

With great prescience in the mid-Twentieth Century, Indian philosopher and holy man Sri Aurobindo referred to the lightbody as the "Divine Body," explaining that it "is indeed as a result of our evolution that we arrive at the possibility of this transformation … Here a slow and tardy change need no longer be the law or manner of our evolution; it will be only so to a greater or lesser extent so long as a mental ignorance clings and hampers our ascent" (italics mine).

In the Bible the lightbody is referred to as the "Spiritual Body" and the "Wedding Garment." The resurrection and glorification of the body is a central dogma of the Catholic Church, which maintains detailed records of lightbody activations in its strict records used in the canonization process for saints. Perhaps the most famous biblical passage that appears to describe the transformation of the human body into a lightbody occurs in Saint Paul's epistle I Corinthians 15:39-44:

All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differs from another star in glory.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

In the words of James Redfield, Michael Murphy and Sylvia Timbers in God and the Evolving Universe: The Next Step in Personal Evolution, we

can begin to picture bodily changes that might accompany the further development of our greater attributes, supposing: first, that esoteric accounts of bodily transformation, though frequently fanciful, reflect actual developments of physical structures as yet unrecognized by science; second, that supernormal capacities, like their normal counterparts, require distinctive types of supporting structure and process; and third, that we can extrapolate from physiological changes already revealed by modern research in imagining bodily developments required for high-level change.

God and the Evolving Universe is a thoughtful and scholarly study of planetary evolution and human potential whose focus--perhaps surprising for a National Bestseller--turns out to be "luminous embodiment."

Wilcock concludes that the human species, much like caterpillars entering metamorphosis, is currently "being programmed by the galactic center to become more advanced while … still here in our bodies." This is made possible because the "DNA molecule is like a programmable piece of hardware … so that if you change the energy wave that moves through it, the jumping DNA will encode it into a completely different form." Thus it is entirely possible that "as we move into increasingly 'intelligent' zones of energy in the galaxy, the DNA energy patterns for the creatures on the planet are all upgraded, and the mutations occur so rapidly--well within one lifetime--that no 'transitional' fossils exist."

In 2007 Wilcock expounded on the idea that DNA is actually a wave form in his blog on DivineCosmos.com: "For years now we've been saying DNA is a wave--spiraling 'nonliving' material together into a molecule. Now there's proof! A huge validation has just been handed to us from the annals of mainstream science, 'discovering' something we’d already know--and published--since 2001. Loose inorganic materials can spontaneously and intelligently spiral together to form DNA … in the cold emptiness of space! One DNA molecule is as complex as an entire encyclopedia--so without a higher, organized intelligence guiding the process, we really cannot explain this."

The research Wilcock is referencing involved controlled experiments in which DNA literally formed out of a hermetically sealed container--basically, a vacuum--when exposed to human consciousness, or torsion waves. "DNA is a physical materialization of what torsion-waves look like at the tiniest level," he writes. "Don't forget we are dealing with intelligent energy … This, of course, strongly suggests that life could form spontaneously from inert 'nonliving' material."

In 2006 NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope discovered some of life's basic ingredients in the dust spiraling around a developing star. These gaseous ingredients--precursors to DNA and protein--were detected in the star's terrestrial planet zone, where rocky planets such as Earth are believed to originate. The findings represent the first time that these gases, acetylene and hydrogen cyanide, have been found in a terrestrial planet zone other than our own. Caltech's Dr. Geoffrey Blake pointed out that if "you add hydrogen cyanide, acetylene and water together in a test tube and give them an appropriate surface on which to be concentrated and react, you'll get a slew of organic compounds including amino acids and a DNA purine base called adenine."

"This infant system might look a lot like ours did billions of years ago, before life arose on Earth," commented Fred Lahuis of Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands and the Dutch space research institute called SRON. Lahuis and his colleagues were surprised to discover the organic (carbon-containing) gases encircling a star called IRS 46 in the Ophiuchus or "Serpent Bearer" constellation approximately 375 light-years from Earth.

It seems hardly coincidental that Ophiuchus, which is an occulted thirteenth zodiacal sign symbolizing, among other things, DNA in the form of one or sometimes two coiling snakes similar to the Greek figure of Laocoön, is located (from Earth's perspective) almost on top of Galactic Center (Ra's life-producing Logos). Writing on the subject of 2012 in Galactic Alignment: The Transformation of Consciousness According to Mayan, Egyptian, and Vedic Traditions, John Major Jenkins explains that Ophiuchus was a key player in the cosmology of Mithraism, the influential cult of the ancient Persian god Mithras who was associated with the sun, representing the "soul's passage through the galactic gateways that open during eras of galactic alignment."

Also in 2006, staff writer Bjorn Carey for SPACE.com reported on a new study revealing that magnetic "forces at the center of the galaxy [had] twisted a nebula into the shape of DNA. The double helix shape is commonly seen inside living organisms, but this is the first time it has been observed in the cosmos." "Nobody has ever seen anything like that before in the cosmic realm," said the study's lead author, Mark Morris of UCLA. "Most nebulae are either spiral galaxies full of stars or formless amorphous conglomerations of dust and gas--space weather. What we see indicates a high degree of order."

"The DNA nebula is about 80 light-years long," reported Carey, and "about 300 light-years from the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way." Carey goes on to explain that the "recipe for a DNA nebula is strict but simple. It requires a strong magnetic field, a rotating body, and a nebulous cloud of material positioned just right. Massive central black holes are the best sources for both the strong magnetic field and rotating body, and since most large galaxies have them, Morris expects DNA-like nebula may be common throughout the universe."

As co-developer of a technique of activating DNA using torsion waves of sound and light to invite an influx of healing energy from Galactic Center, it is very gratifying that scientific discoveries suggesting that the center of our galaxy does indeed intelligently give rise to the stuff of life are occurring with great regularity. Equally gratifying is that the "wave-based genome theory" of Dr. Peter Gariaev, what Dr. Leonard Horowitz has termed "electrogenetics" and my partner Leigh and I call "Regenetics," also has met with further empirical substantiation.

Wilcock is quick to bring the discussion of the "DNA wave" that is in a profound sense "spoken" into being by Galactic Center, as I detail in Conscious Healing, back to the Shift or Harvest: "DNA itself is a resonantly-tuned antenna for the 'consciousness field,' and our entire Solar System is experiencing an energetic charge-up that our own fossil record suggests will have a spontaneous evolutionary impact on our DNA ... triggering the 'Ascension' or 'Golden Age' so many prophetic traditions have spoken of."

Even with such paradigm-shattering information relative to DNA widely available on the Internet and via such books as my own, not only does mainstream genetic science continue to miss the boat by focusing on biochemistry; a preponderance of the interpretations of the 2011-13 "singularity" remain stubbornly--given the overwhelming evidence that species evolve spontaneously--gradualist.

The gradualist way of thinking, although nuanced in its particular expressions, follows a general pattern of proposing that somehow humanity is to be transformed, and our current difficulties transcended, through external political and/or social means over a period of a few years, decades, or centuries. Ra makes it abundantly clear, however, that the Harvest is neither gradual, political, nor of any truly external agency (if not that of pure Intelligent Infinity) whatsoever--being an internal evaluation of the self by the self. And now, as touched on above, leading-edge scientific discoveries are beginning to lend strong support to just such a radical possibility, or probability.

One distinguishing aspect of The Law of One, an aspect many still heavily entrenched in dualistic thinking have difficulty grasping, is that there are two equally viable evolutionary paths available to humans at this space-time nexus: the Path of Service to Others and the Path of Service to Self. The philosophy presented in The Law of One, in which everyone and everything in existence are seen as part of a single identity, that of the One Infinite Creator, "blinks neither at the light nor the darkness," writes Ra, "but is available for service to others and service to self."

To a significant degree, the difficulty in embracing and living this philosophy for us as humans stems from the fact that our third-density "illusion," to use Ra's word, is all about polarization. In fact, polarization, or making the "Choice" to serve others or serve the self as a spiritual path, is the principle lesson to be gained in the third dimension, where we are to learn the importance of love (either focused on others or the self) in order to move to the next level. This ultimately "unitive" philosophy, in one fell swoop, once and for all does away with notions of good and evil and moves one quite beyond dualistic thinking centered on right and wrong.

Such wholesale dissolution of the old familiar boundaries between the acceptable and the condemnable is a hard pill for many today to swallow. Yet it is precisely this unity consciousness, founded in unconditional love, that is our one and only springboard into the next stage of our individual and collective evolution: the Fourth Density, the Density of Compassion or Understanding, in which not only our minds but our bodies change dramatically--and that in virtually an instant, as plausibly and scientifically explained above in a manner that is consistent with The Ra Material, at the moment of Harvest.

Wilcock has written a helpful article that, in my opinion, goes a long way toward debunking the gradualist interpretation of the Shift entitled "2012: The Facts." He cites Ra, who describes Harvest thus: "the movement over the boundary [between densities] is … that of discrete placement of vibratory level." Wilcock's telling commentary follows: "DISCRETE PLACEMENT. Discrete means 'separate and distinct.' A quantum leap. [Ra also says] that there is a 'boundary' that we move over. When is the boundary? 2011-2013. DISCRETE MEANS 'SPONTANEOUS.'"

Many people at this historical crossroads are facing two related stumbling blocks relative to traversing the 2012 "boundary." First, mired in materialistic lives and values, they experience difficulty letting go of their third-density "reality," which, ironically, is really just an illusion--what the ancient Hindus called maya. Second, many find it extremely difficult, if not completely impossible, to release judgment and see their perceived enemies or oppressors with all the unconditional love worthy of the self.

Barbara Marciniak, who writes a great deal about exopolitics--indeed, whose channeled books are inherently "exopolitical"--cautions that things are extremely unlikely to be as they appear during the "Nanosecond" leading up to 2012, and that discernment has never been more vital than during these potentially confusing times if we are to stay on our individualized "path of empowerment." On the subject of continuously vilifying Earth's "oppressors," the Illuminati or "Anunnaki," as so many have done and continue to do, Marciniak's Pleiadian sources state point-blank that such a focus, which almost automatically detracts from one's own all-important Now, is likely to be misplaced as well as misleading.

"You are Family of Light [Path of Service to Others] and Family of Dark [Path of Service to Self] simultaneously existing here, supporting and allowing each other to play out your own dramas," the Pleiadians state from a highly "Law of One" viewpoint in Family of Light. "Family of Light, do not worry about Family of Dark, for they will take care of themselves. The more you worry, the more likely you will end up at their reunion [Negative Harvest] in 2012. Actually it would not be such a bad thing; you would find that they are similar to you. Do you think Family of Dark worries whether they will end up at your reunion? They cannot even conceive of it."

The choice for most individuals inclined to worry and anxiety concerning 2012, where there is any consciousness of the impending Shift at all, is to choose a gradualist interpretation of the movement of history while either 1) pointing the finger at or assigning messianic roles to perceived Others (both forms of disempowerment) or 2) stubbornly and fearfully maintaining the status quo. Both of these actions, or nonactions, let it be noted, lead nowhere in an evolutionary sense; and such people more than likely will be faced, as Ra stresses throughout The Law of One, with the prospect of repeating Third Density in the hope of finally learning the liberating lessons of love.

By now I trust that most readers understand that an exopolitical solution to our world's ostensible troubles in which humanity is rescued by outside intervention in a massive deus ex machina, from the point of view of The Law of One, is neither necessary nor desirable. As I will explain in a moment, it is also not permissible.

Extraterrestrial global mediation of a physically present nature during these times of crisis and opportunity is not necessary because the dimensional transition is already well underway and will proceed whether anyone is here to experience it or not. While through various spiritual practices it is possible--and even advisable--for us to integrate this Shift gracefully and help others do the same, no external agency is required for it to occur. In any case, as Ra explains, the transition into Fourth Density is far, far beyond anything that conceivably could be achieved through war or peace, a change in government or an overhaul of the world banking system, grassroots community-building or green technologies.

In the words of Terrence McKenna, developer of Timewave Zero theory, in which with no conscious knowledge of the Mayan calendar the year 2012 was envisioned as the "final time," we are approaching a "necessary singularity, a domain or an event in which the ordinary laws of physics do not function [and in which we exit] one set of laws that are conditioning existence … into another radically different set of laws. The universe is seen as a series of compartmentalized eras or epochs whose laws are quite different from one another, with transitions from one epoch to another occurring with unexpected suddenness."

By indications too numerous to detail and only suggestively touched on in this essay, we are, in fact, approaching a fundamental, quantum Shift in the very nature of reality, in which even as I write these words the physical laws of the universe (including those governing the expression of our physical vehicles) are transforming. Many of my fellow energy workers in the field of nonlocal medicine--in which healings often happen before they happen, so to speak, as I describe and explain in Conscious Healing--know this experientially.

And now, slowly but surely, the scientific community is coming around to the same awareness of the mutable nature of what were heretofore considered nature's immutable laws. In the words of biologist Rupert Sheldrake in The Presence of the Past, the "assumption that the laws of nature are eternal" actually stems from early Christian influence on the scientific method that was developed in the Seventeenth Century. "Perhaps the laws of nature have actually evolved along with nature itself, and perhaps they are still evolving?" wonders Sheldrake. "Or perhaps they are not laws at all" but are "more like habits?"

Another forward-thinking scientist on a similar wavelength is physicist Lee Smolin. In The Life of the Cosmos Smolin writes that the "idea that the laws of nature are immutable and absolute … might be as much the result of contingent and historical circumstances as they are reflections of some eternal, transcendent logic." His intriguing alternative to this fixed viewpoint is "cosmological natural selection," where black holes grant access (possibly via "white holes") into different areas in the multiverse where cosmological conditions are at least somewhat different. The student of The Ra Material should have no trouble seeing how this is an uncannily accurate description of the creation of new "octaves" of existence after the evolutionary potentials of the previous octave have been explored and integrated.

As an interesting aside, rumors of a third DNA strand, many centered on a purportedly behind-closed-doors meeting of geneticists in Mexico City in 1995, have been circulating for years. Spectacular as these rumors may sound, they are anecdotally supported by reports that Watson and Crick, DNA's "discoverers," found additional protein material alongside the so-called double helix as far back as the 1950s, leading some to speak of "evolutionary debris" in a manner reminiscent of mainstream genetics' myopic dismissal of "junk" DNA--a move now increasingly acknowledged even by many scientists as an historic oversight.

From Book One on the Regenetics Method, Conscious Healing: From Biology to Triology. The above illustration shows how a third strand of DNA might interface with and modify the existing double helix. Both as a possible biological reality and as a metaphor for activating the latent intelligence in potential DNA, the triple helix is genetically consistent with the movement away from a binary or dualistic "operating system" in favor of a trinitized or "trinary" code capable of engendering an evolutionary Shift into unity consciousness. Note how the geometry of three strands naturally produces interlocking tetrahedral shapes suggestive of molecular merkabahs.

The generally accepted notion that DNA in its present form is a universal molecule actually finds little support when we examine the activity of DNA itself. DNA is continuously changing, mutating. To claim that it is impossible for DNA to morph into another molecule represents an empiricist bias based on so-called immutable facts (that the DNA molecule has been around a long time in more or less the same configuration, for instance) which are called into question by, among other scientific discoveries, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the logic-defying realization that we create our reality by observing it.

To focus solely on DNA as a biochemical phenomenon, as mainstream genetic science does, is in essence to put the cart before the horse. In a profound sense DNA is the result of Spirit's descent into matter. As Wilcock's research clearly demonstrates, behind the DNA molecule exists a template of energy or consciousness that directs the formation of organisms at the level of DNA. Change this energy template, alter this consciousness, and we potentially transform organic expression. The inability of science to cure many very curable diseases through the biochemical route is proof negative that biochemistry is merely the tip of the iceberg of being. On the other hand, the ability of DNA activation to address many of these very same conditions points us in a direction of great promise.

Moreover, if it is indeed true that a transformation is occurring not only in human consciousness but in universal consciousness, as many ancient wisdom traditions maintain for our historical moment, then such a microcosmic change in our genetic program would in theory be supported by the change occurring in the macrocosm. Of course, the opposite is also true, since the hermetic principle "As Above, So Below" can, and must, be read the other way as well: "So Below, As Above."

In the theoretical case of radical genetic (trans)mutation from two to three rungs of DNA, we are still looking at a single molecule of life. There is simply (or not so simply) the addition of a third rung requiring a reconfiguring of the manner in which base pairs of nucleotides (protein bases) attach to the rungs. This might occur through a large-scale genetic rearrangement as described in Kelleher's article above and look something like the quite obviously extraterrestrial Triple Helix configuration shown in the crop circle below.

Triple Helix Crop Circle.

As opposed to thought-provoking "teasers" like crop circles, exopolitical contact on a mass scale, from Ra's vantage, is not only unnecessary; it is ultimately highly undesirable. Full disclosure would constitute, from the perspective of the Path of Service to Others in higher dimensions, "truth with proof," as opposed to "truth without proof," and thus infringe on free will and the pivotal Choice between positive and negative paths we are all here to make. From previous incarnative experience on Earth, as well as repeated observation of the deleterious effects of alien interference in earthly affairs, Ra speaks of truth with proof (which would include contact or disclosure) as an infringement on free will--one which almost inevitably has the unintended effect of eroding the basic human desire to seek and search for the truth that is so critical to polarization and evolution.

In the simple yet profound words (that can be directly applied to this discussion) of Ken Carey in The Starseed Trilogy, "No lasting change is ever wrought from without." In many ways very much in keeping with The Ra Material, Carey's focus is at all times on "posthistorical," as opposed to "historical," solutions (of which exopolitics would be, although extravagant, simply another example in a long line of botched attempts to "save the world"). "A moment is coming after which nothing will ever again be thought of as it was before, a metahistorical moment, an event simultaneously alpha and omega to your species," explains Carey.

Although the above quote may sound to some like a description of contact, properly speaking, as any student of Carey knows, it is merely contact with the true and authentic self. "You who still slumber beneath the spell of matter, look beyond the descriptions of reality given by those who seek to lead you from without. Open to the living information of the life force that rises within you. This information is alive; it is the only guidance you require."

Once again, the similarities between this viewpoint and that of Ra are striking. On a related subject, that of healing, Ra states, "The healer does not heal [but is] a channel for intelligent energy which offers an opportunity to a [being] that it might heal itself." Virtually no external agency of change, other than ultimately self-directed "catalyst" (evolutionary experience), is condoned at this late stage of the game in The Law of One in "service" to those on the Path of Service to Others--as such external agency, again from the experience and observation of Ra, would violate the First Distortion, free will, and ultimately do more harm than good.

If The Law of One does indeed represent an accurate cosmology, which I believe it does far more than it does not, recognition that our Higher Selves and related higher-dimensional beings on the "positive path" have adopted a mostly "hands-off" policy rules out the possibility of an exopolitical solution being extended by the Confederation to which the Ra "social memory complex" purportedly belongs.

Indeed, in The Ra Material we learn that the Council that governs the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator does not allow large-scale "breaking of quarantine" with respect to Earth, although, admittedly, for other reasons with origins in free will there "is a certain amount of landing taking place. Some are the entities known … as the group of Orion." Ra elaborates that "the so-called Orion group calls itself to conquest" by heeding the call of certain individuals (the Illuminati or Anunnaki) who "vibrate in resonance with their own vibrational complex."

The nature of this "call" is thus described: the Orion group follows "the Law of One observing free will. Contact is made with those who call. Those [on Earth receiving this call] disseminate the attitudes and philosophy of their understanding of the Law of One which is service to self. These become the elite. Through these, the attempt begins to create a condition whereby the remainder of the [people on the planet] are enslaved by their free will."

From the above information we can make three important observations. One, and most importantly, any form of enslavement is a function of free will--on both the part of the enslaver and enslaved. Victim consciousness, in any of its insidious expressions, is thus an abdication of free will. Second, although there are occasional "ships" or higher-dimensional beings who manage to slip through Earth's quarantine, the latter is quite sufficient to protect the planet from any true extraterrestrial "invasion." And third, any widespread contact, were this somehow to take place, would almost certainly not be initiated by the service-to-others-oriented Confederation but by the Orion group, or another group with visions not of liberation but conquest.

While there may be a great deal of media scare tactics involving such theoretical contact that might seem to be initiated by the Orion group in an attempt to dissuade the public from embracing contact by the Confederation, with discernment surely we can affirm that there is an equal amount--often embedded in the most disturbing of such material--of media veneration of our extraterrestrial "masters." As always with the Path of Service to Self, the idea is not to encourage love of our "gods," but to shock and awe the masses into giving away their power. Discernment and self-honesty here are paramount for the true spiritual seeker.

The Choice what to believe and how to act on our beliefs, as always, is ours. My belief is that exopolitics is not only not a solution--at best, it is a distraction from our own necessary spiritual preparation for Harvest; at worst, it is a trap to keep us from finding the limitless power that resides in love and becoming harvestable. As Gandhi put it so eloquently, rather than expect someone else to make our world right, we must accept responsibility for being the change we wish to see in the world.

DNA-related Definition of the Month

White Hole: "yang" complement to a "yin" Black Hole theorized to be the procreative aspect of Galactic Center.

Did You Know ... that in the words of physicist William Tiller, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, as "a species, we are cognitively moving away from space-time awareness only and into frequency domain (conjugate physical-space) awareness"? In "the latter domain, distance and time are not limitations to our perceptions."
