JUNE 7/8th VENUS TRANSIT 2004
NZ 8.20pm   AUST EST 6.20pm  GMT 8.20am June 8th
This transit is creating an energy cone through the Sun and Venus at the spaces in between, that connects into the hearts of humans and opens the doorway to the universal love that shines from the Sun within our hearts. It is accelerating the heart opening and is a trigger point from the Solar Cross at 11 August 1999 and with the next Venus transit in 2012 that creates the dimensional shift for those who choose to be in the Heaven on Earth of their own creation through the higher levels of consciousness that we are and operate from. 
In the build up to this transit there is much work going on in the inner planes assisting humanity to be receptive in their hearts to this cone of energy that is being gifted by this cosmic event. Take some time out to be, allow and do what you feel guided from your heart to do, in order to receive, share and give in this divine cosmic flow of high frequency energy. A great time for sharing in groups so if you do not have a gathering to join why not create one to share this amazing time with others.

Venus Transit of June 8, 2004 - A Breakthrough of Intuitive Awareness
By Carl-Johan Calleman and Anders Bjarstedt

The Venus Transit of June 8, 2004 is clearly the astronomical event of the year. But it may be much, much more than that. The Venus Transit has always preceded great breakthroughs in human consciousness and
played a very significant role in the Mayan Calendar. It is also a turning point in the Vedic tradition. According to the Indian avatar of enlightenment, Sri Kalki Bhagavan (http://www.experiencefestival.com/kalki/),
the Venus Transit of 2004 will be the actual starting point of the Golden Age, a process that will come to an conclusion at the next Venus Transit in 2012. This article presents the significance of the Venus transit
on June 8, 2004 in its larger context and in relation to the Mayan Calendar. It is also an invitation to take part of a global celebration of this event called the Oneness Celebration.
The purpose of this article is to describe the role of the Oneness Celebration at the Venus transit on June 8, 2004 in its larger context. This will clearly be the "astronomical event of the year". To begin with, a
Venus transit is an astronomical event where the planet Venus passes between the Earth and the sun - a sort of eclipse. Venus transits lasts for 6-7 hours and come in pairs separated by exactly 8 earth years minus two
days. As far as human measures go such pairs of transits occur only rarely.

The Oneness Celebration of
June 6-8, 2004 –
The Return of the Energy of Christ and of Quetzalcoatl

by Carl Johan Calleman

The Oneness Celebration of June 6-8 this year takes place at an amazing gathering of energies in the Mayan calendar. In the age old Tzolkin calendar that has been used without interruption by the Mayan people for some 2500 years it falls on the days 4 Ahau, 5 Imix and 6 Ik, which are most commonly translated into English as 4 Light, 5 Alligator and 6 Wind. It is now timely to take a look at these energies in order to
understand the nature of the possibilities that they will open up to mankind.
To begin with it is easy to identify the energy of 4 Ahau with the energy of Christ. The particular katun (20-tun period of 19.7 ordinary years) when Jesus taught was in fact ruled by the energy of 4 Ahau. And so June 6 will be ruled by exactly the same energy that brought the teaching of Jesus Christ to the world. The next day of June 7 has the energy of 5 Alligator (Alligator stands for the primordial beginning) and marks the beginning of a uinal (20-day period) ruled by Quetzalcoatl in the Tzolkin. June 8, finally, has the energy of   6 Wind. Since the wind god was an aspect of Quetzalcoatl so is the energy of this particular day sign. The Harmonic Convergence 17 years ago incidentally fell on the latter two day-signs of Alligator and Wind and in this we have a noteworthy parallel.
In ancient Mexico, Quetzalcoatl (in Mayan languages called Kukulcan or Gugumatz) represented the deity of light and duality and was seen as the creator of civilization. We may then ask ourselves what is the nature of the civilization that is now about to be created in this conspicuous gathering of energies. To understand this, two of the myths surrounding Quetzalcoatl in ancient Mexico may provide some perspective.
According to one of these, Quetzalcoatl, had been found to commit incestuous acts with his sister (probably then really alluding to the Yin energy) and so, to liberate himself from guilt he decided to sacrifice
himself by throwing himself in the fire. When he did so he was transformed into the planet Venus and since then this planet has always been identified with Quetzalcoatl. He vowed one day to return.
In another myth a priest in the Toltec capital of Tula, Ce Acatl Tipiltzin, who was recognized as an incarnation of Quetzalcoatl and bore that title, came in conflict with the priesthood of Tezcatlipoca, the principle of darkness. The reason was that Tipiltzin at this time sought to make a halt to practice of human sacrifice. The Tezcatlipoca priesthood however gained the upper hand and Quetzalcoatl was driven into exile.
According to legend he left the Atlantic coast of Mexico on a raft made of serpents and vowed one day to return on a day of his own energy. This myth played an auspicious role in ancient Mexico in that the later Aztecs came to expect a return of Quetzalcoatl from the East that would bring light and a new civilization to the people. Thus, as the Spanish Conquistador, Hernan Cortez, landed in Mexico on a day with the prophesized energy he was initially believed by their emperor Moctezuma to be an incarnation of the god Quetzalcoatl who had now returned. Cortez was invited to the capital of the Aztecs, Tenochtitlan, and the ancient legend substantially contributed to the fall of the Aztec Empire. Today, however, because of the atrocities committed by the Conquistadors, no one believes that Cortes was actually Quetzalcoatl.
What this means is that Quetzalcoatl has yet to return either from Venus or the East – or from both. What I am suggesting is that the Oneness Celebration is the time for Quetzalcoatl to return to mankind. But I want to point out that I do not mean by this that Quetzalcoatl is a person who is about to return. Rather it is an energy that will return by incarnating in the many of us who will participate in the transformation and recreation of civilization. Crucial for this will be the Venus Transit of June 8, when, during a period of about 6 hours, the planet Venus will transit across the disc of the sun. By astronomers this is heralded as the astronomical event of the year, an event, which has not happened since 1882. It represents one of those rare occasions when the energy of the planet Venus is projected onto the Earth. Venus is our sister planet that is almost exactly of the same size as the Earth and always turns the same face to it at passages. If the energy of Venus will then be projected onto the Earth by the rays of the sun it does not seem farfetched to identify the Venus Transit with a time when the energy of Quetzalcoatl will return to the Earth. The fact that the transit occurs on a day dedicated to the wind god, Quetzalcoatl adds to this prophecy.
It has been suggested several times that the energies of Christ and Quetzalcoatl are the same or at least closely associated. If nothing else, it was in the baktun ruled by Quetzalcoatl, AD 40-434, that Christianity expanded to a world religion. This, in contrast to many of the religions that had preceded it, brought a message of love and forgiveness to mankind. On a symbolic level the Cross of Christianity was an expropriation of the World Tree and Quetzalcoatl was really the Serpent that in so many traditions was winding around the World Tree and in this symbolism the two energies are immediately connected.
We have yet to explain however what was meant by the prophecy that Quetzalcoatl should return from the East after, around the year AD 1000, he disappeared on a raft. We should then first note that, since then, many pairs of Venus Transits have occurred that did not seem to bring the return of Quetzalcoatl. The most recent examples of such pairs are those of 1518/1526, 1631/1639, 1761/1769 and 1874/1882. (Venus Transits usually come pair-wise separated by exactly eight years minus two days). While these seem to have coincided with significant steps in the evolution of the Earth to a Global Brain through extended communications, they have not brought peace and harmony to the world. What then is the difference with the pair of Venus Transits that we are now about to experience June 8, 2004 and June 6, 2012? Why should we expect a return of Quetzalcoatl this time, when it did not happen at those previous Venus Transits?
The reason is that at the current time we are in an ”Underworld” in the Mayan calendar that, in contrast to at previous times, favors the Eastern Hemisphere and the right brain half. Thus, the light that is now entering the consciousness field of the Earth falls preferentially on the Eastern Hemisphere. We are in an Underworld that will set an end to about 400 years (a baktun in Mayan language) of dominance of the world by the Western and left brain hemispheres. This is the explanation that it is only now, with this pair of Venus Transits, that we have reasons to expect the return of the energy of Quetzalcoatl. Thus, both the myths of a return from Venus and from the East (looked upon from the perspective of the Western Hemisphere) now make sense.
It seems likely that this Eastern energy will have a strong emission point in India, where for instance the Golden City outside of Madras is about to inaugurated in direct association with the Venus Passage. At the present place on humanity’s path towards Enlightenment it seems obvious that balance and harmony can only come from the East. If nothing else, part of what is threatening the survival of our species is the
dominance of the left brain. This brain half tends to look abstractly at the life of our planet and regard it as dead matter to be exploited based on its calculations.
A crucial aspect of Enlightenment is the balancing of our brains, and on a larger scale the Earth’s, hemispheres. A pre-requisite for the Mass Enlightenment to happen at the completion of creation on October 28, 2011 is that such a balance is created. The creation of such a balance is really what sets an end to our externalizing of inner conflicts and a return to living fully in the present. This is exactly the change that we may expect the energy of Quetzalcoatl to help bring about – if we co-create its manifestation in the physical realm. If Quetzalcoatl is a symbol of the energy of light and this energy is now falling on the Eastern Hemisphere, it will now indeed serve to create a balance.
Without going too deep into Mayan calendrics we should note that the different Underworlds create a sensitivity of human beings to different fields of reality. The gravitational and electromagnetic fields are examples of such fields, which human beings became sensitive to and learn to control in lower Underworlds than the present Galactic. The current Galactic Underworld, however, which had its inception on January 5, 1999 in the Gregorian calendar, brings a sensitivity to the very consciousness field of the planet and living beings. There are several names for the energy that this field organizes, such as prana or Qi, and its most common description may be the “ether”. Another way of looking at this field is to regard it as a heavenly creation field that allows for immediate communication across the universe and synchronizes creation across the universe.
This field then is not one of the common fields of physics, but a creation field that only now human beings are developing sensitivity to. What this means is that for communication human beings no longer need to
transport themselves to another place or use the field of electromagnetism. Instead what is needed is to develop the intuitive capabilities of the right brain half that allow us to connect to the heavens, the fields that create the universe.
If a significant segment of humanity is in resonance with this field of creation it would more or less by necessity mean that it would be able to function more harmoniously. Its connections through this field would
depend on the capabilities of the right brain half, the brain half that is now in the process of balancing the world and eliminating its injustices. This is a process that leads human beings away from looking at the world through a dualist filter and projecting conflicts onto the external world. It is also a process that is about to set an end to the linear time consciousness of the left brain and so supporting a life lived in the present, in the power of now, if you will.
Most profoundly, however, this is the creation field, the ether of consciousness, that develops in accordance with the divine plan as this may be charted by the Mayan calendar. Thus, whoever has a mind in resonance with this field will act in a way that is aligned with the higher purpose of humanity and the planet and creating a pathway to heaven that will manifest on Earth, the Kingdom of Heaven. This prophecy is very much a part of the Christian tradition and the time allotted to humanity for this is the period between the two Venus Passages on June 8, 2004 and June 6, 2012.
But then, how is Quetzalcoatl to return? Regardless of by what means, anyone who is able to connect to the Oneness of All at the time of the Celebration will become a living incarnation of Quetzalcoatl. To become real the energy of Quetzalcoatl must manifest in human beings. At this time this must happen through through the absorption of the energy of light on the right brain and unifying this with the left. This is really about activating Kundalini energy for which humanity may now be ripe. A winding energy of light in our bodies, a manifestation of the movement of the serpent of light, Quetzalcoatl, may serve this purpose. This will set the road to wholeness in an otherwise turbulent time.

Venus Between Us

The Galactic Times for November 2003

by Philip Sedgwick

 

It seems to me that  a huge, undervalued cosmic event looms on our not so distant horizons. This would be the Venus occultation of June 8, 2004. The Venus what?

  Occultation. That's when Venus precisely passes in between the Earth and the Sun forming what amounts to an eclipse. Astronomers call this the "crossing of the solar disk." As we see it, Venus would appear to saunter directly across the face of the Sun. This event occurs at intervals of 121.5 years, eight years, 105.5 years and then again eight years. None has occurred in the last, approximate 121 years. After June 2004, we'll see another just in time for the "ending" of the Mayan Calendar in December 2012, which contains strong Venus reference. However, the exact Venus alignment occurs again in June. A note of astrological caution goes here:- should one use declinations of planets compared to zodiac placement (longitude), especially in examining an effect such as this, erroneous results will appear. It has been inaccurately argued that Venus makes these alignments all the time. Knowing Venus as we do, we should know she is far more discerning than that.

The grand event occurs at 08:20:49 GMT on June 8, 2004, not including yet unknown aberrant movement of the Earth. In this horoscope, each planet and angle make significant contact to potent, highly noted galactic points. Seemingly, this horoscope intends to initiate an eight year plan of potential for the persons of this planet to follow.  Progress likely results. During the last occultation intervals, both New Zealand and the United States adopted women's suffrage. The political implications of this horoscope remain potent and promising - however, I shall shun such commentary for the more down to Earth, "what does this mean to me," phenomena.   In this instance, this is a great question.

Venus, offering insight into inner values, resources and the plan for contentment, comes into a most strategic focus. Underscoring this horoscope is an amazing series of contacts to "bipolar" points in space. Bipolar, in this sense, does not suggest a need for lifelong therapy nor pharmaceuticals. This term implies a shared energetic role within any organic system. Sometimes advance is necessary. Then, for an approximately equal time, a receding energy fits the bill. Knowing when to "go for it," when to pause, and when to back up while carefully avoiding speed bumps displays an acute receptivity to the cosmic flow of any moment. Such receptivity, arguably, could be construed as feminine in nature.

Listening when it's time to listen and speaking only when it's time to speak further define the phenomena. But most important, an inner assessment of one's vital life force energy arises for observation, contemplation and perfected usage. This horoscope loosely suggests the application of a week of active energy followed by a week of receptive energy. The point remains to find one's internal energy clock, to flow within that rhythm and to accomplish more in life, even when doing what appears to be nothing. One of these important timing patterns in the occultation follows a 6.55 day interval - roughly a week. Not everyone will follow that metronomic beat. But everyone will have an inner advance/retreat clocking mechanism.

It would seem with that the demands of life, the world and the inevitable encroachment of time upon our lives, that constantly pressing forward offers the best solution. That supposition goes with a Mars overdrive temperament of doing, accomplishing and achieving. The Venus temperament suggests a study of time, the flow of energy and points out that the perceptive use of personal energy interwoven with cosmic energy produces greater results with less effort. Efficiency and effectiveness being a signatory component of the Martian world, one might stand back in awe and wonder while observing the ease of the life of one moving cyclically instead of "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead." Regardless, one need not be completely perspicacious to realize the merit of the occultation's message of timing. After all, Venus coyly observes, timing is everything.

Over the next months, tidbits of the essence of this beautifully powerful horoscope will continue to come your way. This is a rare, astronomically significant event. The anticipation of great change can be supported by employing the traits and consciousness endorsed by the horoscope well in advance, during, and well after the actual event. My own inner sense of timing suggests that now would be the time to start seeking this alignment at the edges of our personal radar screens. 

We stand in between the energies of two eclipses, the last one very strong, while continuing to receive the full-on effects of a highly active Sun. The energy has to go somewhere. On the heels of the Harmonic Concordance, take the cosmic dare. Feel the urge to create something of great worth. Allow it organic gestation. And when the time is ripe, you'll know what to do.
