new technology?
Some people think that the days of oil will be over...sooner than we think! Read this:
"An unusual experiment by the psychopharmacologist Dennis McKenna, together with his philosopher brother Terence, who categorized and
chronologically plotted the greatest discoveries and technological developments since 5000 BCE, then fed the information into a computer. Having digested the data, the computer provided a graphic printout showing how these discoveries fell into a hyperbolic curve that flattened out around 1975.Intrigued, they programmed the computer to project and predict future discoveries; this time the line took a dramatic upswing, flying off the scale at 2011, whereupon the predictions ended; during the last two hours of this time-scale, no less than 18 crucial discoveries are predicted, some rivaling the splitting of the atom. These accomplishments would be accompanied by transformations in human consciousness in the year marking the end of the Mayan calendar, which predicts this, the Age of Intellect, to be superseded by the Age of the Spirituality in 2012.
The McKennas' theory seems plausible, considering that in the sixty seven year cycle that includes the detonation of the atom bomb, technological and social breakthroughs have accelerated faster than the time between Galileo and Hiroshima. But there's more. Like the physicist Bohm, the McKenna brothers also present our Universe as a
hologram, a creation of two intersecting hyper-Universes, in the same way a conventional hologram requires the intersecting of two lasers. The McKennas propose that our holographic Universe consists of 64 (8x8) frequencies, of which ours is but one. As these two hyper-Universes intersect in 'time', our DNA will need to evolve rapidly to cope with all 64 frequencies as they intersect, the event reaching its crescendo in 2012. This date came about when the McKennas programmed a computer with the 64 time systems, each based on the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching, which itself is a model of the physical structure of a single helical strand of DNA (see The Invisible Landscape)."
