“Jose Arguelles calls it “the climax of matter,” Jean Houston refers to it as “jump time,” and Ray Kurzweil names it “the approaching singularity.” Each person who studies this phenomenon calls it by a different name, or uses different terms to describe it, but they are all speaking of the same idea—that human experience is reaching some kind of ultimate point.
Significantly, many prophecies from ancient traditions around the world have also pointed to this time period as a time of great upheaval and change, perhaps the most important in human history. The Mayans of Mexico marked this time with their famous calendar; the alchemists of Europe built the Cross of Hendaye to describe it; the Quero Indians of Peru call it the PachaKuti; and the ancient Egyptians referred to it as the Zep Tepi or The First Time. In the Indo-Tibetan tradition it is equated with the final throes of the Kali Yuga, the Age of Iron. Each of these traditions tells us that a great transformative moment is at hand, a moment in which we have the opportunity to release old patterns and re-link ourselves with the essential rhythms and harmonies of the universe.”
