The Bottom Line

This sequel to 2012: The Odyssey is another quest with seeker Sharron Rose. She journeys into the high Andes of Peru, to take part in a purification ritual with the Q'ero shamans. There are interview clips from the leading thinkers on 2012, woven together to show common themes. It's a clear-eyed view of what we face, and much of what is said is dark. But it presents another worldview, one that's ancient and yet so foreign to us.

It's the return to Mother Earth, and the way out of being "trapped in time."



Pros

• Gives a look into a nearly lost world of intimacy with time and the Earth.
• It places the Q'ero in the present, where even they are not as powerful as they once were.
• It presents the end of time as something that we can adapt to, if we're willing to change.
• There's simple wisdom on how to open to incoming high energies, which will help to adapt.
• Narrator Sharron Rose is a wonderful mix of knowledge and open curiosity.

Cons

• Some of the interviewees seem out of place, and break the rhythm.

Description

• There's fascinating info on our DNA, as the hardware to the software that is the light energy that we draw to our field.
• William Henry talks about the unveiling (apocalypse), and how these sacred secrets may only be available for a short time.
• It's time to learn to become shamans, to draw on the power of our future selves, as well as from the past.
• Gregg Braden says the emotional chemistry we're creating now, is what will determine our experience in the future.

• There's information on the alchemists' 13th sign Ophichus, the serpent holder, at the center of the galaxy.
• The film looks at the Mayan cosmology of the Serpent Rope that is dropped down at 2012 through a stargate.
• The stargate-wormhole phenomenon is explored in detail, as a moment of danger and possibility.
• It explores possible field effects, like a change in magnetics, as the Sun orients itself to the northern half of the galaxy.
• Albert Villoldo explains the DNA as a conduit for light. The 90 % we know as "junk DNA" is the pool of possibilities.

Guide Review - Timewave 2013

Here's a film that I had to watch a few times, for the mind-blowing concepts to sink in. Filmmaker Sharron Rose follows threads of inspiration, going further into the ancient myths and prophecies of 2012. By visiting the Q'ero shamans of Peru, she shows us a nearly unbroken lineage, from the Inca, a people that journey not to distant lands, but across their own timeline. It's this traveling across time that allowed the Mayan seers to envision a great change in 2012.

In the healing ceremony that takes places across the film, all the negativity of the world is put into a leaf bundle to be purified by fire. It's here that each of her visionaries give their take on this "end time." There's ecological collapse, and a sense of enveloping moral and spiritual darkness. John Major Jenkins sees it as cyclical, as we approach "galactic midnight," and the alignment that will re-orient the Sun toward the other half of the galaxy. He relates world ages to the Sun or Moon cycles, just on a longer timeframe.

The main message I took away, is that we're in a dark time that's heightened by our separation from nature. Mythologist Jean Houston laments that the TV has become the hearth, removing us from past generations or the Earth. She says, The Earth herself in her need and the world civilization is rising up from the depths to wake us up....sometimes with nightmares and sometimes with visions of a possibility.

After a divination, the Q'ero shamans say those in cities will suffer, since they will be unable to adapt. Through a translator, they said, Those that don't follow the ways of the Earth peoples will be expelled from the Earth. The message of the Q'ero is that we are 'saved' when we find our way back to Mother Earth and our own hearts. And that we are in a process of turning into light beings, and our preparation is going on now.
