indeed the 'signs' are everywhere I found this very interesting too
a friend sent it and I intend to explore more from DP

“If the god-form Quetzalcoatl has announced his return, it seems plausible that other archetypes will manifest in the brief historical period remaining to us. An intricate pattern of legends, mythic archetypes, and prophetic strands twine around the English village of Glastonbury, linking the town, in Michell’s words, ‘with the age-old prophecy of the golden age restored, of the recovery of the Grail, the reappearance of Arthur’s Round Table or the coming of Christ’s kingdom on Earth.’ One tradition, linking New Age visions with ancient yearnings, calls for the gathering of the twelve tribes of humanity at Glastonbury, creating a thirteenth tribe, reconciling Heaven and Earth in a ‘New Jerusalem.’ Glastonbury might provide a perfect setting for the cross-disciplinary summit, reconciling science and spirit, required to bring down the imprint of the new time, which could be disseminated through the global commons.“By reestablishing harmony, we would realize, in Black Elk’s words, ‘Every place is the center of the world.’ Or, as Robert Lawlor defined the aboriginal perspective, ‘There is no part of this existence that needs to be transcended, repressed, or gone beyond.’ Through this act of conscious concordance, we might also, quite naturally, reaccess the sacred sciences and ritual practices of prehistory, such as geomancy and alchemy. And if my hypothesis about the crop formations has validity, such a unifying gesture may be a prerequisite for humanity to enter into direct contact, benevolent communion, with other orders of galactic intelligence.

“In __The New View over Atlantis__, John Michell examined temples, pyramids, and monuments from Mesoamerica, England, Egypt, and elsewhere, propounding the thesis that there was once a planetary civilization based on a univeral canon of measure and proportion and visionary awareness of the Earth’s subtle energy fields. ‘The nerve centers of the Earth, corresponding on the human body to the acupuncture points of Chinese medicine, were guarded and sanctified by sacred buildings, themselves laid out as microcosms of the cosmic order, the universal body of God.’ He believed that knowledge of this order was preserved in the building of the Glastonbury Abbey, where various symbolic numbers, including 666, were utilized prominently in the architectural plan.

“‘The number 666 is that of Teitan, a solar deity,’ he wrote, ‘It represents an eternal, natural principle, transcending any moral category.’ Teitan—Cheitan, in the Chaldean language–was the snake god who brought knowledge to humanity. As mythic polarity gave way to mental duality, this deity was reduced to a baleful influence, given the name Satan in the Bible. While the institutional church associated the number with evil. Gnostics within the church ‘recognized the number for what it was, an essential element in the true cosmic scheme, and in laying out their mystic citadels they allowed 666, the number of solar power, to occupy its due place in the numberical order.’ According to the Gnostic version of the biblical tale, the serpent in the Garden of Eden was actually an apparition of Christ, bringing knowledge to humans, seeking to liberate them from the wicked demiurge who kept them in ignorance. The ‘Great Beast’ of the Apocalypse, first appearing in Revelation 13, possesses an intricate ambiguity, linking him to these older traditions.

“The shattering of the Glastonbury Abbey as ‘the devil’s temple’ during the Reformation represented the final destruction, in the West, of the ancient mind-set that understood the necessity of maintaining a proper balance between cosmic forces. For the Puritans, ‘the beast represented some absolute principle of evil, irreconcilable with the iron rule of humanly created morality,’ Michell notes. ‘The beast, like the dragon, had to be suppressed.’ For this reason, as well as many others, Glastonbury could be the logical place for reintegrating Sun, Moon, and Earth, establishing a template for planetary civilization.

“If we are graduating from nation-states to a noospheric state, we may find ourselves exploring the kind of nonhierarchical social organization----a “synarchy,” based on trust and telepathy—that the Hopi and other aboriginal groups have used for millenia. If a global civilization can self-organize from our current chaos, it will be founded on cooperation rather than winner-take-all competition, sufficiency rather than surfeit, communal solidarity rather than individual elitism, reasserting the sacred nature of all earthly life. Those who desire such a world will work to create it.
