Invisible Landscape
(1975,
1993)
Terence McKenna & Dennis McKenna
1993 p. 196 – “... Because the winter solstice is precessing,
it is moving closer and closer to the point on the ecliptic where it will
eclipse the galactic center. This will occur sometime within the next two
hundred years. ... the most likely heliacal rising of
the galactic center with the solstice sun occurs on
GA: 1. The galactic center is not on
the ecliptic.
2. Within the next two hundred years is NOT
3. “heliacal rising of the galactic
center with the solstice sun” is totally made up, so okay, maybe true in the
author’s mind.
4. It is astronomically impossible for the Sun to eclipse the
galactic center, so yes, HIGHLY unusual.
1993 Figure 31 on p. 197 – “... Half an hour before the winter solstice
of
GA: Again: It is astronomically IMPOSSIBLE
for the Sun to eclipse the galactic center. Also the Sun rises at different
times all over the globe that day, constantly shifting the Sun’s position
relative to galactic center for a period of 24 hours and a total of about 1
degree in longitude.
1993 p. 197 – Quoting Hamlet's Mill (1969) p. 244 - “... the
constellations that serve as "gates" to the Milky Way must
"stand" upon the "earth," meaning that they must rise heliacally
either at the equinoxes or at the solstices.”
GA: So the McKennas take
“constellations rising” and come up with “galactic center rising” at the
solstice. The problem may have started here. Was it Terence or Dennis who
started this mess?
The Pleiadian Agenda
(1995)
Barbara Hand Clow
p. 5 - “… extremely close
conjunction of the winter solstice Sun with that crossing point (ecliptic with
the Milky Way) on December 21, 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar.” – Satya, Keeper of the Library on Alcyone
GA: How an alleged channelled Pleiadian can confuse the galactic equator (1998-2001) alignment
with 2012 is understandable, since the equinoxes and solstices are EARTH-based
events and have NO relevance from the Pleiades. Just wait though, Barbara gets
even better than this.
Maya
Cosmogenesis 2012 (1998)
John Major Jenkins
p. xxxiv -
Amazingly ... right where the ecliptic crosses over the Milky Way, is exactly where the December solstice Sun
will be in 2012.
... the “dark
rift" or the Great Cleft of the Milky Way ... and the December
solstice sun can enter it only in A.D. 2012.
p. 335 - The
earliest source ... was Hamlet's
Mill.
GA: What
is so pathetic about JMJ is that he knows and states elsewhere in his book
that these statements are not true. Once again: The ecliptic/Milky Way/solstice
alignment was 1998-2001. The dark rift or Great Cleft does not even reach the
path of the Sun (ecliptic) and even if it did, it’s a good 10 degrees wide and
so the solstice would be "in" it for a good 720 years! Actually
Charles Jayne wrote about the alignment astrologically in the 1947 edition
of the Encyclopedia of Astrology.
There is much, much more 2012/galactic alignment crap in this book,
but we just can't bear to wade through it. Sorry.
Catastrophobia (2001)
Barbara Hand Clow
p. 3 – … “On or about winter solstice 2012, our Sun
transits across our galactic center.”
p. 18 – “The Galactic Winter Solstice – 2012 – is the turning point of
the whole Great Year … the winter solstice at 0 degrees Capricorn points
directly to the Galactic center at 27 degrees Sagittarius …
GA: It’s astronomically impossible for the Sun to transit
across our galactic center. Th e second statement is one
of the most stupid 2012 statements ever! Obvious doesn’t get stellar or galactic
astrology, even a little bit.
Alchemy of the Nine Dimensions (2004)
Barbara Hand Clow with Gerry Clow
p. 157 – “Strangely, few Mayan researchers have paid much attention to
our solar system’s alignment with the
GA: Maybe because it happens circa 2240. Duh.
Beyond 2012 (2005)
Geoff Stray
p. 30 – Quoting Carlos Barrios with “… alignment with the heart of the
galaxy in 2012 …“
GA: Galactic “Heart” (Center) alignment is near 2240.
2012 The Return of Quetzalcoatl (2006)
Daniel Pinchbeck
p. 12 – “... a rare astronomical event: the alignment of the Earth and
the Sun with the "dark rift" at the center of the Milky Way on the
winter solstice of December 21, 2012 ... “
p. 238 – “On the winter solstice of December 21, 2012, the Sun will rise
within the dark rift at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, an event that
occurs once every 25,800 years.”
p. 240 – “At the moment of alignment, we cross the Galactic Equator, ... ushering in a new World Age, ...”

GA: Now the galaxy is aligning to our Sun? WTF?
p. 282 - Janosh quoting Carlos Barrios: “… the
solar meridian crossing the galactic equator and the earth aligning itself with
the center of the galaxy.”
GA: The solar meridian is constantly crossing the galactic
equator. Repeat;
p. 292 - Christine Page M.D.: “For the first time in 26,000 years, our
sun and … the Earth are aligned with the dark rift of our galaxy, the Milky
Way.”
GA: The dark rift does not even reach the ecliptic (apparent
path of the Sun), so the Sun is NEVER IN the dark rift, ever!

p. 9 - “On December 21, 2012, the
axis of the Earth … for the first time in 12,920 years … will also be moving
toward the center of the galaxy instead of away from it.”
GA: This guy is making up shit. It’s something he’s really
good at. Shifting of the axis in relationship to the galactic center? … Maybe
circa 2240, if at all; definitely NOT 2012!
Sag-ing While Aging (2007)
Shirley
MacLaine
p. 253 - "In
2012 the plane of our solar system will line up exactly with the plane of our
galaxy and the Milky Way. This cycle has taken 26,000 years to complete and ...
two other galaxies will line up with ours at the same time. A
real cosmic event!"
GA: This galactic
alignment peaked 1998-2001. Looks like you’re either way too late or way too
early for the party.

Christine R. Page M.D.
p 2 - “For the first time in
twenty-six thousand years, the Sun is most aligned with what is known as the
Great Cleft, the Dark Rift, or the Black Road of the Milky Way.”
GA: Repeat: The dark rift does not even reach the ecliptic
(apparent path of the Sun), so the Sun is NEVER IN the dark rift, ever!

2012 time frame …”
p. 117 – “2012 makes tremendous sense …. An even rarer
alignment happening just once every 26,000 years.”
GA: Imaginary is right. Are we getting the picture?
Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Awakening (2009)
Introduction by John Major Jenkins
p. xi - "I
believe that date was intended (by its creators) to target a rare alignment
between Earth, our Sun, and the center of our Milky Way galaxy - a factual
astronomical alignment that takes place only once every 26,000 years."
GA: The galactic alignment (with galactic plane) peaked
1998-2001. The Earth and Sun can not align directly with the center of our
Milky Way Galaxy. It's astronomically NO WAY! Is what he means by
"factual" … uhh … fuck-u-all?
SPECIAL FEATURE: Here's some CLASSIC 2012 stupidity by John Major
Jenkins:
"My
definition of the galactic alignment is based on the 1/2-degree diameter of the
sun and the precise calculation of the solstice point's alignment with the
galactic equator (May of 1998) made by Jean Meeus in
his 1997 book Mathematical Astronomy
Morsels. A clear fact-based definition of the galactic alignment is: the
alignment of the December solstice sun with the galactic equator."
GA: John wants us to
“believe” that the precise solstice alignment happened in May 1998 ... a
solstice in May? And that this is what 2012 is about. What an idiot!
The Book of Destiny;
Unlocking the Secrets of the Ancient Mayans and the Prophecy of 2012 (2009)
Carlos Barrios
Some of the material in this book is
interesting and helpful, in that it comes from a more indigenous
viewpoint. It is not without some major 2012 stupidity though.
p. 116 - "Finally, the famous date of
GA:
1. The solar meridian actually crosses the
galactic equator constantly all the time. Since they are using terms they don't
understand to express the solstice, I'm guessing, then okay, twice a
year. Still nothing
special in 2012.
2. The Earth never aligns with the center of the galaxy! If it did then it
would be a once a year thing. Still nothing special in 2012.
3. The "rising" thing happens every year also.
No unlocking of
SECRETS here!

& the
Coming of the Antichrist (2009)
Robert Powell
& Kevin Dann
p. 13 - Kevin Dann starts with: "Why then do so many speak of the
alignment of the winter solstice with the Galactic Equator as taking place on
December 21, 2012, the end of the Maya calendar? ... Instead of speaking of
"2012" we should speak of the "2012 Window," in the sense
that the precise end date of the Maya calendar, on

Powell concludes: "The Maya Long Count's culmination at the
thirty-six-year "window" marked by the alignment with the
GA: Good
question Dr. Dann. Maybe it’s the work of the
Antichrist? Let us clarify. The 36-year window comes from John Major Jenkin’s ripping off and not understanding Raymond Mardyks’ initial use of the solar disk imagery (1998, 2000)
to illustrate the galactic alignment. Mardyks was
using a visual metaphor to show how the Harmonic Convergence in 1987 and the
2012 end date have a galactic alignment, a term he coined, exactly in between
them in 1998-1999. Jenkins made this visual metaphor of the solar disk moving
across the galactic plane “literal”, a grave mistake, understood by anyone
familiar with Joseph Campbell’s work. Don’t confuse metaphor with reality!
Mr.
Powell assures us that his “error” was missed by the editorial process and
should have read Galactic Equator instead of
That’s
NOT all, folks. I’m sure there’s more to come!
