The 2012 Phenomenon
Date: 11-29-09
Host: Ian Punnett
Guests: Gregg Braden, Richard C. Hoagland
Ian Punnett was joined, for the full four hours, by author Gregg Braden
and Coast to Coast science advisor Richard C. Hoagland for a discussion
of the December 21, 2012 phenomenon and what it means both physically for Earth and sociologically for its
denizens.
"My sense is that we are, in fact, living the end of a rare and
mysterious cycle of time," Braden mused. Regarding mainstream
scientists who dismiss the idea of a 2012 event,
Hoagland explained that this is because they refuse to examine the
emerging science of torsion physics, which he believes plays a major
role in the cycle coming to an end.
Braden noted that data from both archaeological and polar ice cap
studies suggests that the current physical condition of Earth is very
similar to previous time periods going through the cycle.
Additionally, he explained that his research on polar shifts indicates
that such an event requires the magnetic field of earth passing through
a certain low threshold.
Currently, Braden said, Earth's magnetic field is "so far above the
measurement" that the possibility of crossing the threshold in the next
three years "looks pretty slim." On the concern that many have with 2012-related disasters,
Braden said, "physical changes, we've always survived. What we haven't
survived is the way that we treat one another as we go through that
change."
To that end, Hoagland noted an ongoing increase in cultural
polarization, a trend that can be seen most clearly in contemporary
politics. Looking at the past, he recalled how this polarity may be a
symptom of the impending December 21, 2012 Mayan
calendar event as "these other civilizations killed
themselves" while going through the cycle. "It's more the
psychological, consciousness aspect of this physics that we may have to
fear, at the moment, than the physical aspect," Hoagland suggested.
