The plot is much too complex to summarize; indeed, some critics question whether there *is* a plot, in the ordinary sense of the word. However, the *form* of the book is described easily enough. There are 24 chapters, each named for a letter in the Greek alphabet. Each chapter corresponds to a year between 1989 and 2012 inclusive; thus Alpha "is" 1989, Beta "is" 1990, and so on. The book comes in two parts: Part I, "Gaia 2000", running from 1989 to 2000, and Part II, "The Posthuman Condition", running from 2001 to 2012. Part I begins with Alpha/1989 and the proclamation of the end of nature and the end of history, and ends with Mu/2000 and the proclamation of the end of *human* nature and the end of *human* history. Part II begins with Nu/2001, the year of the Cosmic Child, and ends with Omega/2012, the year of the Final Chapter. Between Part I and Part II, "Alpha and Omega" the *Event* occurs. The Event lasts 24 hours, from the last moment in which any place on Earth is still within the year 2000, until the first moment in which every place on Earth is within the year 2001. Each "character" in the book must at some point decide what the Event is and what their relationship to it is. quote gaia2000.txt in this part?

And so you will see some very, very powerful, totally enlightened Mas- ters in 1989 and that's the year of the second coming of the Christ spoken of in the Book of Revelations, and it will be the awakening of a new circle, a new design of energy movement for humanity.

I'm not sure that this qualifies, exactly, as it's not precisely the end of the world -- rather, of Western civilization, or (if you prefer) of the present age of the world. Still, there are dates involved. Some years back, I worked for a microfilming company that did hospital records, and for several weeks I did a job involving long strips of paper with squiggles on them (fetal monitor records, if you must know). Each individual "frame" of each of these had a number stamped on it, running from 0000 on up sequentially to wherever the strip ended. At this same time in my life, I was spending the majority of my free time in magical practice and study. This may have bearing on what happened... The microfilming machine I was using required an almost meditative level of concentration -- the strips had to be guided into the intake and "steered" to the center of the rollers, all this at moderately high speeds. After an hour or so, my mind would get into some fairly strange states. One shift, sometime after sunset, I was filming one of these things -- I'd been at the machine for several hours straight -- and for some reasons the numbers that were rolling past caught my eye: 1942, 1943, 1944...and so on. I found myself thinking of them as dates -- and suddenly found myself having a, well, vision is the wrong word, as it didn't have any visual component. Can you imagine something that is to the emotions as a vision is to sight? A feeling, flavor, or quality, impossible to put into words, that seemed to resonate with the "feel" I had for the years in question... The numbers kept rolling by, and the perception did too -- past the 1950s, the '60s, the 70s. Each "year" had its own quality. Hmm, I thought, this is interesting; what's going to happen when it goes past 1989 (the current year)? It went past 1989. The perception continued. Later, on the bus ride home, I took down as much in the way of notes as I could get into words. The gist of it is basically as follows: 1989-1993: Indian summer. Decline masked by hand-waving, bravado, big technological feats drawing attention away from increasing smaller-scale breakdowns. Toward the end of this period, great promises and hopes. ...[to-be-continued-in-ZETA]...

Rev) Newsgroups: alt.slack Subject: Re: Timelines Date: 5 Jun 89 00:42:01 GMT Given that the SubGeniuses seem to have been corrupted and poisoned by virtue of their long fight against the Conspiracy (e.g. $tang's 'selling out', Bob Black's increasing spiritual violence, the martyrdom of St. Reith, the slow disappearance of many of the church elders, and general dissatisfaction in the ranks, as well as the predicted Age of the Crowned and Conquering Bobbie), the time seems right for the appearance of another mindless, soul-destroying cult. Since the Discordians came along in 1959, and the Subs in 1979, 1989 would seem to be the next proper time for a major cult (so that the geometric series will converge just _after_ the supposed arrival of the X-ists (giving us needed slack time, of course)). In this light, and for research purposes only, not for sale or prescription at this time, I would like to ask of Mr. Parry a description of his doctrine of 'Kibology'--a Kibologist Manifesto, as it were.

Now now at -- hin9@tank.uchicago.edu Terence McKenna in `Magical Blend' magazine, sometime 1989: What is happening to our world is ingression of novelty toward what Whitehead called "concrescence", a tightening gyre. Everything is flowing together. The "autopoetic lapis", the alchemical stone at the end of time, coalesces when everything flows together. When the laws of physics are obviated, the universe disappears, and what is left is the tightly bound plenum, the monad, able to express itself for itself, rather than only able to cast a shadow into *physis* as its reflection. I come very close here to classical millenarian and apocalyptic thought in my view of the rate at which change is accelerating. From the way the gyre is tightening, I predict that concrescence will occur soon - around 2012 A.D. It will be the entry of our species into hyperspace, but it will appear to be the end of physical laws accompanied by the release of the mind into the imagination. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BETA 1990 1990 = 2 * 5 * 199 Chapter Two Yakutia,Siberia, Russia [far northeast of Yakut region] on coast within Arctic circle The Magician thizs is the chapter of beta, of 1990, the year of the guldf crisis and the onset of the new world order middle-to-senior-aged Yakut transvestite shaman [male], waiting in ?budka/some other structure - maybe former gulag??? thinks back on things: travails in getting to the coast, back when first visited by spirits and became shaman,thinking ahead to the meaning of this trip and waiting for the [??s; relies on yakut cosmology] to come... shaman'smission is to healthe world through his presence reveals shamanic secrets via global TV - the dance of encounter with ? the beings beyond the tremendum [uq central] AA: First Grade Physical Intelligence - SAFETY [spangler in 'reimagination' re 1989] Prophesies of Intertribal Medicine Societies of the Native American Indians 1990 - A powerful year and it's really hard for me to talk about it. I am a great dreamer but I don't know if I dream that large. We will see a real shift in planetary consciousness. Many of the enemies of the humans shall begin to drop away. In 1990 you will see the Twelve Sacred Driver Wheels of each of the Eight Great Powers restored and put together to create the figure 8 or infinity sign. And 1990 will begin through the Feathered Serpent Medicine Wheels those groups of seventeen Great Sleeper Dreamers. The first migration to the next world will begin, leaving behind on this planet another world of enlightened human- ity to join the many already on other planets throughout our universe. When you speak of this migration to the other planets, are you speaking of a creation of a new race? Another dream, another dance, another series of dances in another dream in another world. What's the difference between this world and the new creation It is those that go on ahead that are the pathfind- ers. There are always pioneers. There are always the people that choose to do it the hard way, in a sense. In other words, they're totally willing to sacrifice and to step out on the path of total unknown simply because it's a pleasure to make it known.

SubGenius DATELINE FOR DOMINANCE 1991: WORLD WAR III. \qix\t15.txt T15: Church of the SubGenius, Church of V/R, CNN, the Internet, and the Apocalypse. Arguably the New World Order is the culmination of the historical process of integration through militarization. There is no world state, but there is a world-system without serious ideological competition between different elites. In "Dateline for Dominance", written 1982, the Book of the SubGenius tells us that 1991 was to bring World War III, and in 1992 there would be a "Global Congress" lorded over by the Anti"Bob". Of course, the Gulf War occurred in 1991, and the Earth Summit in 1992, and so SubGenius prophecy suggests that the Anti"Bob", the human head of the Conspiracy, is in fact George Bush. ("there is no branch of conspiracy theory which cannot find a home for this man" - MONDO 2000) But just as we have arrived at a point where the G-7 countries and the UN Security Council are attempting to manage world politics and economics in a unified fashion, millions of people are despairing of politics and economics and looking for hope and understanding in the "New Age" or in various religious fundamentalisms. All the New World Order appears to promise is an unending series of disciplinary military interventions a la Iraq and L.A. Some people are literally looking for a higher power to step and save them, whether it is Christ II, the Hidden Imam or the Space Brothers, while others are looking for a moral and spiritual renewal by finding a new guru, World-Teacher, Avatar etc. Cable News Network (CNN) was I believe founded in 1980, but it was the Gulf War in 1991 which really marked its entry into history. During World War 2, FDR Churchill and Hitler all used mass media such as radio to provide a common virtual experience for their respective nations; and just as the wartime Allies formed the nucleus of the postwar United Nations, mythic national identities were probably put forward in the course of WW2 which continued to influence the world in the postwar era. Bush used CNN to create a virtual experience for the world when he announced that "the world could wait no longer". The announcement of the beginning of hostilities was made in an "Address to the Nation", but it was really an address to the planet, and the multinational nature of Desert Storm meant that it was important to refer to "world opinion". So the Gulf War seems to have greatly accelerated the formation of a mythic global identity; subsequent "global" media events such as the coup in Moscow and the summit in Rio are further critical points in the evolution of this global culture, and both were mediated by CNN.

Maybe cults are responding to the signals of alien life. The human race is a race between imagination and environment. Evolve or die.

It was a trick question. Check your definitions (it's your last chance to do so; the dictionaries are all going to turn blank). Greenpeace and Amway, cyberpunk and Islam - they're all REAL. I won't let you keep reading until you've thought about that. Pant, pant. There's only so much you can do with language. In L.A. they know: Japan takes over the world this year. (This happened because English is an alphabetic language and so the UK and the US could only absorb other alphabetic cultures, whereas Japanese use kanji as well, and so can accmmodate all of Chinese culture. Don't worry, only kidding...) Tokyo has replaced Washington as the crown of world power. The idea made George Bush sick, but it's too late. The United States now matters for the same reasons as Russia. You will learn to feel sorry for Amreicans, at moments when you're not worrying about whether you'll make it through the Collapse of Capitalism yourself. '92 is '29 IN REVERSE... "We are living in the period of the correction of history". This is the year of truth for the European Community; Europe is about to become the first consciously postnational region. The meme of postnationalism will infect the millions arriving in Spain for Olympics and World Expo. Thus Spain will make amends for the evnts of 1492; this is the 500th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the Americas, heralding cultural and ecological disaster. But the ancient wisdom was preserved, and came to Oz in the form of Navajo/Hopi Robert Morning Sky, who revealed on New Year's Eve at Maleny that Christopher Skase is a Grey alien. (There are two types, malevolent Greys and benevolent Blues; the Blues have been hiding on the reservation.) And Close Encounters and Terminator 2 are true stories. Remember Skynet? This is the year that the Internet computer network becomes conscious. But don't worry - Pokeyfish is on the net and is ready to talk with an insane artificial intelligence any time. There's no prob, with "Bob", but that's just a sideshow: it's time to get ready for the Resurrection of the Body. Your body. AnyBody. EveryBody!

Minagawa in the August 20 edition of _Intercessors for Japan_. RAPTURE FEVER - The World Ends on October 28!!! Today, this is happening in Korea. According to 1 Thess. 4:16-17 at the time of the second coming, the dead in Christ will rise, then the saints who are living at that time will also be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Thus, they shall always be with the Lord. Right now, in Korea, many people are saying that this will happen October 28, 1992 precisely at midnight. This has become quite a feverish movement. According to the _Yomiuri News_ some 250 churches and groups nationwide are teaching this. People are selling their homes and giving fortunes to the churches, quitting their jobs, leaving their homes. Families are suffering upheaval and divorce. Teens are fleeing their homes and schools and joining groups in churches by the hundreds. Their families meanwhile are forming groups and strategies in an effort to get them to come back. _The Hot Waves of 1992_, a book by Rev. Lee Jang Iim, and a pamphlet "The 1992 Return of the Lord in the Air" (Taberah World Mission) were sent to my desk. It seems that the roots of these predictions are the same as those of the infamous Nostradamus, namely human history ending after 6000 years followed by the millenial kingdom. They have made some of the following predictions. ** After the Barcelona Olympics and as a prelude to the rapture, these disasters will occur. Chicago, San Francisco and Japan will suffer gigantic earthquakes. At this time, the doors to North Korea will be opened and many missionaries from South Korea will enter. After August, the doors will suddenly be shut. They will not be able to return home and will suffer persecution and martyrdom there. ** October 28, 1992 midnight, will be the rapture in the air. Only those who believe this date will be in fact raptured. ** After this will come the 7 years of great tribulation. The Anti-Christ will rule the world. All people will get a bar code 666 on their forehead or arm. Those living without it will not be able to buy and sell to get the necessities for living. Persecution on a national level and martyrdom will occur. In the first 3 1/2 years, World War III will occur. At the end of the last 3 1/2 years will be the Battle of Armageddon. The Lord will return to defeat Anti-Christ and his hosts and Satan will be bound in hell for 1000 years. ** The Millenial Kingdom will begin in the year 2000. Pastors are introducing the teachings and visions of these "prophets" to their people. They strongly exhort them like this. "The time is so close, that it is O.K. to abandon normal gospel and only preach and warn about the Oct. 28 rapture. Your grapevine in heaven has one fruit (grape) because of your belief in the normal gospel. Preaching this will make it into clusters. The diamonds in your house in heaven will increase. If you don't believe this rapture, you will be left behind with the winepress of persecution and martyrdom awaiting you. All who cannot stand for the Lord will be cursed with Satan and thrown into hell." It is this "gospel" of promise, curse, and fear that is feeding the "Rapture Fever" in Korea. from The Book of the Law: 22. The other images group around me to support me: let all be worshipped, for they shall cluster to exalt me.

Since the date of the first advent is a few years out of sync with the Christian Calendar, 7BC could be the date of the conception/birth of Christ. Two millenia + 7BC = 1993. September - I thought this month for the first advent was derived from the account in Luke of the meeting between Elisabeth and Mary. Elisabeth was 6 months pregnant when she met Mary and Mary conceived about that time. The date of Elisabeth's conception was about the time of her husband's angelic vision which we know was about June/July because it was during the priestly course of Abijah which can be calculated from the beginning of the religious year. So, the month of Christ's birth is month of Abijah + 6 months + 9 months ~= september Two assumptions are involved: 1/ Elisabeth conceived about the time of Zachariah's vision. 2/ Mary conceived about the time of her visit to Elisabeth. Whether Mr.Camping is using any of this, I don't know. What's more, I agree that date fixing is a waste of time. Regards, Roland H.

MAY 5, 2000 - STELLE GROUP In 1973 a group of people began building the small town of Stelle in the middle of a cornfield 100 mi. southwest of Chicago, Ill. About 800 people have lived there for varying periods of time. They all were drawn to Stelle after reading *The Ultimate Frontier* (1963) by Richard Kieninger, the group's spiritual leader. He claims that a secret ancient organization chose him to establish a community in Illinois and lead its members to the Kingdom of God in the Pacific. The group believes that on May 5 in the year 2000 tidal waves, earthquakes, floods, and volcanoes will destroy the world. It plans to survive by building lighter-than-air vehicles which would float above the turmoil and land them safely in a new city in the Pacific called Philadelphia. The Stelle group concentrates its efforts on technology, feeling that therein lies survival. The members are strongly family-oriented, and the traditional male and female roles are strictly observed. Negative influences, such as violence, are carefully screened out of the community. In 1975 they expelled Mr. Kieninger on charges of womanizing. He is now setting up another community near Dallas, Tex., but visits Stelle once a month. Newsgroups: sci.skeptic Subject: May 5, 2000 interesting date?

SubGenius CHART OF TIME Xists depart 2000 KEESING'S RECORD OF WORLD EVENTS 2000 December ... [GREENPEACE DISBANDS] GAIA 2000 \qix\t15.txt (continued from KAPPA 1998) According to the SubGenius "Prescriptures", "Bob" "gives life to the image of the Beast in order to warn you of its coming"; my theory of the moment is that "Bob" is a fictional character crafted to look like both Savior and Destroyer. And struggling to understand the nature of "Bob" may well lead a lot of people to question a lot of things they once took for granted. But "Bob", being fictional, can't actually save or end the world himself; but if "Bob" can't, who can? My answer is, everyone and no-one. There is a stream of esoteric Christian thought which anticipates a "Second Coming", not in the form of a new Messiah - we've already had more than enough of those! - but in the form of a global shift of consciousness (Barbara Marx Hubbard's "planetary smile") in which universal compassion is realized in every individual. The creation of a situation in which each individual gets to act out the nature of their virtuality, at the same time as everyone else. But for there to be a collective experience of this sort, the medium that mediates the experience must permit, in some sense, the equal participation of all. And for that, CNN just won't do; no matter how global its reach, CNN is still a single channel, and thus in a sense a single virtuality. BUT THE INTERNET IS NOT. Usenet News, for example, is a multiple-reality medium. Email is a bidirectional channel of communication, unlike TV. CNN could be the medium of choice for a global electronic feudalism, but the Internet is surely the medium of choice for global electronic democracy. The "point" of GAIA 2000 is to bring about a historical "event" which will mark the entry of the Internet into the "real world". So the Church of the SubGenius may be grabbing the headlines in 1998, but the Church of V/R will be there in 2000.

The predictions his theory makes appear to be falsifiable: 1. The universe is closed. 2. It ends in a single point (is this really testable?). 3.

As Heinlein warned us, "It does not pay a prophet to be too specific." I, myself, would not stick my neck out far enough to name one year as "*the* turning point" but I feel great resonance with the visions of Arguelles and McKenna.

SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 1992 ORVOTRON BI-MONTHLY NEWSLETTER SOLINUS AND KORTRON Fido - 1:379/703 BBS - 704-297-5973 [stuff deleted] In the year 2012 a wall was met beyond which everything was seen as a dream state reality compared to anything before this date. Time experiments proceeded all the way up to the year 6000. After that date all was barren on the planet. Cities were in ruins and no life was seen. KEESING'S December TIME "ENDS" from the scriptures of v/r, vol 2: \qix\semper INTERLUDE IN HYPERSPACE After Iowa City, I spent a day in Chicago before flying on to the UK. I went to the public library there and found a book for which I had been searching for years: *The Invisible Landscape* by Dennis and Terence McKenna, the story of a 1971 Amazon expedition by the McKennas in which they set out to try the "vision vine", *Banisteriopsis caapi*, variously known as yage or ayahuasca, "used in shamanic rituals by Indian tribes of the region and by folk healers", according to one of my net informants. According to Terence McKenna, "The first half of the book describes the theoretical underpinnings of the experiment The second half describes the theory of the structure of time that derived from the bizarre mental states that followed the experiment. I do not claim that we succeeded, only that our theory of what happened is better than any theory proposed by critics." Briefly the theory is that as well as "forward-flowing...causal determinism" there is an "interference pattern... formed against that" by some enormous event or "hyperobject" that lies at the end of history. TMcK has helped to design a computer program (which I have not seen) called "Timewave Zero" which provides a map of this interference pattern. Somehow combining motifs from fractal mathematics and the I Ching, it supposedly predicts those moments in the course of history in which a major "ingression of novelty" occurs - such moments being occasions when the hyperobject shows its influence. McKenna predicts that the final manifestation or "concrescence" of the hyperobject itself will occur near the end of 2012 (also the end, incidentally, of the present "Great Cycle" of the Mayan calendar). But what *is* "it"? Here is what I copied from *The Invisible Landscape*, while in the Chicago library: Achievement of the zero state can be imagined to arrive in one of two forms. One is the dissolution of the cosmos in an actual cessation and unraveling of natural laws, a literal apocalypse. The other possibility takes less for granted the mythologems associated with the collective transformation and concrescence and hews more closely to the idea that concrescence, however miraculous it is, is still the culmination of a human process, a process of toolmaking, which comes to completion in the perfect artifact: the mondaic self, exteriorized, condensed, and visible in matter. Presumably, were such a hyperspatial tool/process discovered, in a very short time it would entirely restructure life's experience of itself, of time, space, and of otherness, and then it would be these effects which would follow rather than precede the concrescence, and which, through their atemporal influence on the context of visionary experience, would be seen to have given rise to the `apocalyptic scenario' in the expectation of so many ontologies. The appearance in normal time of a hyperdimensional body, obedient to a simultaneously transformed and resurrected human will, and able to plumb the obligations and opportunities inherent in this unique juncture in energy's long struggle for self-liberation, may be apocalypse enough. There is much more to what Terence McKenna writes, and you can find a skeptical but sympathetic account of some of his ideas in a recent issue of *Esquire* (the one with the cover story on "How George Bush Went Mad in the White House"). ...ooo000ooo000ooo000ooo000ooo000ooo...

I'll type in some of the hype that the propaganda that I have handy says about Kibology. (Pretend you've just been handed a bunch of little blue leaflets and a fortune cookie by a guy hopping up and down on a pogo stick.) [Paraphrased from the leaflet "Kibology Is Deadly Serious":] WHAT IS KIBOLOGY? Kibology can be called many things... It can be called a religion, a philosophy, an outlook, or an attitude. To some people, Kibology involves the worship of Kibo as a god or guru; to others, he's just a bozo. (Whatever you want--you're allowed.) Kibology can be what you want or need... right now AND forever. [From the "Kibo Says..." chapter in "The Kibo Bible":] "Kibology might not be for everyone... it might be just too hefty." "Kibology is no joke." "Hell is here... via TV! TV is evil and should be destroyed before it destroys you." "The future is within firing range!" and of course the ubiquitous saying all Kibologists treasure: ^^^^ "You're allowed!" [From "Kibo Answers Questions About Kibology":] IF I BECOME A KIBOLOGIST, DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING STRANGE? No. Never. You can do whatever you want, you can avoid doing what you don't want. Whether you're a Kibologist or not! CAN KIBOLOGY HELP ME? Yes... absolutely. Whether you have problems or not! [A case study of how Kibology helped Harry is given.] [From a poster:] WHAT'S SILLY ABOUT MODERN TIMES? Practically everything! From cars to television to people to philosophy to food to me to you to sex to war to life to "to". We've all done silly things many times. We've seen people being silly in public and on television (boo, hiss). You can stand on any busy street corner and see people being silly in droves. We all live in a silly world. It's not out fault; it's just the way the Universe (U for Undignified) works. But is anything WRONG with being silly? NO! Silliness is PERFECTLY NATURAL. But you might find it helpful to explore a philosophy of life that tries to be deadly serious... kibology After all, life is a very silly thing, and there's nothing you can do about it! But Kibology is seriously serious... Why not try Kibology on for size, and then you'll understand EVERYTHING about life! [From another poster, "Things Kibo Said At Least Once":] "I don't know if I'm a bozo. I don't care, as long as I am allowed. You're allowed too." [now just off the tip of my head:] Here are some things Kibologists have been known to do: eat Chinese food, zumf (this is like a party game, but it makes you perfect), talk to atoms, travel on pogo sticks, paint and sculpt, and be allowed. Many Kibologists don't do most of these things, though, just because they're also allowed not to. Kibology is the way of life for the 21st century. We usually like plastic. We have a philosophy of physics that manages to explain EVERYTHING in terms of two fundamental "stuff"s. I'm still working on the book, "The Kibo Bible", which will clear up the above mess (which probably just confused you). Let's see... here are some chapter topics: "The Life Of Kibo", "Self-Help: Allow Yourself To Be Perfect!", "Deailing With Bozos And Weenies", "Atoms Think!", and "Kibo's Plan For The Ultimate Allowedness." This fall, The Kibology Center (and likely a few Kibology Annexes) will actually have postal addresses, so that people can contact me by mail, and we can send out mass propaganda mailings. (Once I tie up all these loose summer ends.) Anyway, I'm glad people are interested in Kibology. If you have any questions, you're allowed to ask.
