The
Oneness Celebration, the World Shift towards the East and the Feminine
and the Disintegration of Islam
by
Carl Johan Calleman
From the perspective of the cosmic plan and the Mayan calendar the Oneness
Celebration takes places at a very significant point in time. In the
Galactic Underworld we are approaching the Seventh Heaven beginning
on December 4 of 2004, when the World Tree once again will start to
make itself known and this time it will favor the Eastern Hemisphere
and the right brain half. The Oneness Celebration includes the day (June
6, 4 Ahau), when the current NIGHT reaches its midpoint and the approach
to dawn begins.
Hence, the Oneness Celebration takes place at a time when the planet
is starting to gear up for a very powerful shift away from the dominance
of the West and towards the creation of a global balance. In Europe
this is evident in the shift of the center of gravitation of the European
Union as this is expanded to include several members in Eastern Europe
as of May 1. This in fact means that the European Union becomes balanced
with respect to the trunk of the World Tree along the 12th longitude
East. Until now the European Union and its predecessor in the common
market has clearly had its center in Western Europe, West of the World
Tree, and the balancing of Europe in this respect is part of the balancing
of the entire planet. The recent election results in Spain, pointing
away from its participation in the Western coalition in Iraq, only serve
to underscore the movement towards the East in the current Underworld.
The point to realize is that this is not a transition that is dependent
on any particular administration in the US. The balancing of Europe
on both sides of the World Tree in fact was something I had predicted
already in The Mayan Calendar and is part of the larger cosmic time
plan.
Part of the shift is also the planned end of the occupation of Iraq
by the Western coalition as of July 1, 2004. This shift towards the
Eastern Hemisphere is further compounded by the increase in relative
economic strength of the Asian nations; The Tiger Economies, China and
increasingly India. Even though the presidential candidates of the US
election campaign are overbidding each other in claiming that jobs must
remain in the US, it should be clear to everyone that the jobs will
go where the lowest salaries are. Given the rapid development of the
competence of the work force of many Asian nations it seems likely that
it is exactly in this direction that they will go. We will in fact find
that the world will be increasingly mentally attuned to what is typical
of the Eastern Hemisphere. India will develop a kind of spiritual leadership
for the planet and especially as its economy grows this will be all
the more apparent.
The main factor that has been weakened in this ongoing shift in the
world seems however to be Islam, and especially its Sunni variety, which
is the most discriminatory against women. At first sight this may seem
very contradictory as, after all, Islam is a religion that has almost
all of its weight in the Eastern Hemisphere. The current decline of
the power of the Muslim world however finds its origin exactly in this
location in the Eastern Hemisphere, which conflicts sharply with the
left brain nature of this religion. At the current time it thus seems
that there is no nation or group in the Muslim world that would be able
to pose a serious challenge to the West spiritually, economically or
otherwise. Everywhere Muslim nations are being pushed back Egypt, which
emerged in the fifties as the leading Arab nation has been weakened
through its defeats in wars against Israel and economic stagnation.
Recently, the Sunni regimes of Iraq and Afghanistan have been defeated,
Libya and Iran has been forced to soften their stance. The same may
be said for Pakistan in its relation to India. Israel seems just as
powerful compared to the Palestinians as ever and at the current time
the very survival of the Arab League, the only modern semblance of the
Muslim unity of the Caliphate and the Sultanate in earlier times, seems
to be at stake. Compounding this sense of weakness rulings in both France
and Sweden have come out against the hiding of the faces of Islamic
women and the expansion of Islam to Europe seems to have found its limitations.
While the terrorism of certain groups of Sunni Muslims poses a risk
to the inhabitants of many countries, this does not reflect a position
of strength of Islam or of such groups like Al-Qaeda, but the very opposite.
The suicide bomber plays a role much more akin to the Kamikaze Pilots
in the ending days of Japan of World War II, than of the victorious
armies of Muhammad in the seventh century. A suicide bombing seems more
like a desperate act of someone whose civilization is falling apart
than as a sign of having wind on the back. The Quran clearly states
that suicide is not a permissible act under any circumstances and yet
they happen. While there are terrorist groups of different origins,
it seems that very few except for the Muslim groups practise the desperate
act of suicide bombings.
On one level the reason is that there is an obligation of every Muslim
to seek to spread this religion to every part of the world and certainly
to reconquer every Muslim land lost to infidels. The problem with this
attitude has been that ever since 1683, with the defeat of the Turkish
Sultanate at Vienna, and especially after the beginning of the Planetary
Underworld in 1755, the political power of the Islamic world has been
one of constant decline. While a brief recovery seemed to be at hand
during the oil crisis of 1973, the very existence of the state of Israel,
land lost from Islam harboring its third holiest city, remains a constant
proof of the weakness of Islam. Given the intermeshing of political
and religious power in this religion, this is in the Arab and Muslim
world perceived much as a sign of the weakness of their religion.
²Why is this?² we may ask. Why is Islam, a religion of the Eastern
Hemisphere weakened at the same time as this very same hemisphere as
such is strengthened? The chief reason is that while Islam is a religion
of the Eastern Hemisphere it is also an extremely dualist religion created
by the left brain hemisphere. This is very clear just from the fact
that in the Sunni Arabic area men dress in white and women in black.
It is clear also from the fact that in Mosques pictures (which are perceived
through the right brain hemisphere) are forbidden, while written texts
(created through the left brain hemispheres) from the Quran are covering
the walls. The omnipresent repression of the image of the woman (through
the clothing imposed) serves exactly the same function, one of repressing
and taking away the right brain image as well as the feminine qualities
at large. Regardless of what rationale, if any, is presented for the
dualist filtering out of all aspects of the feminine it is clear that
Islam is a religion that filters out the right brain hemisphere. The
reason that Shia Muslims today seem to be in a strengthened positioned
versus the Sunni is then simply that their repression of the feminine
is not as consistent as in the former tradition. There is little to
indicate that Muhammad personally disfavored women and so the tradition
that emphasizes the importance of his very family, Shia, also means
less repression of women.
Of course, also the other monotheist religions that emerged in the consciousness
of the National Underworld, which has dominated the world since the
beginning of the Mayan Long Count about 5000 years ago, are products
of left brain rule. They are however currently in a better position
as they are not to the same extent geographically based in the Eastern
Hemisphere. Islam¹s problem is that it is a dualist left brain religion,
which is not consistent with the current global creation field that
enlightens the Eastern Hemisphere. This, by itself, means that the evolution
is now moving away from left brain dominance and is supporting the return
of the feminine and the goddess. Ultimately, this is the reason that
many Muslims, and especially those of the more dualist Sunni variety,
see no future for themselves and their religion. The repression of the
woman that has been an integral part of their way of life will now,
because of the changing global creation field, by necessity come to
an end. For those that identify very strongly with the traditional Jihad
ideals of Islam, and the practices of subordinating women, the world
is coming to an end. This is the true background to the terrorism and
suicide bombings whose victims are not only Israel and the symbols of
Western power Various expressions of the Shia Muslims, not to mention
a country like Turkey, which has moved towards separating the state
from the religion and provided extensive rights for women are just as
much the targets of such desperate campaigns.
In the years ahead we may expect all organized dualist religions to
disintegrate. Their many practices of sexual and gender repression as
well as internal hierarchical structures are not consistent with the
global creation of the Galactic Underworld generating energies favoring
the East and right brain. Islam is however likely to first have to relate
to these energies because of its primary location in the Eastern Hemisphere.
The many mystical traditions emphasizing the unity with God and practicing
of compassion extending to all members of the human race, regardless
of religious or other affiliation, will however be their legacy for
the future. The words of the Quran describing the end of creation, ³judgement
day², as a time ³when no soul shall control another soul and the control
shall be entirely Allah¹s² are words for the future one of true
equality and the disintegration of all control-based human hierarchies.
The future belongs to spiritual traditions that recognize all human
beings as equal children of the divine, while those that seek to maintain
a dualist separation into believers and unbelievers will disintegrate.
This shift away from dualism takes place as Venus, a symbol of Islam
ever since the original visions of Muhammad at the time of one of its
conjunction with the moon, very directly conjuncts with the sun and
radiates the energy of the Returning Goddess to the Earth. In this new
light created by the unification of Venus with the sun only those aspects
of Islam that fully embrace the feminine and the ³unbelievers² will
be able to survive.
