Carl Calleman weighs in on Japan's quake-tsunami...

Seems like everyone has something to say about the Japan quake that hit two days after the beginning of the Ninth Wave.  Comments include  tasteless jokes by celebrities to fantastic theories by conspiracy buffs, and even disembodied spirits have had their say.  So it's not surprising that one of the leading 2012 pundits has a few words to offer as well.  And Carl Calleman's opinion on these matters is always of interest because he's a scientist with a pragmatic view at interpreting these events from the perspective of the Mayan Calendar. 

Here's his message:

Was the Japan earthquake related to the Mayan calendar?

Carl Calleman

In the discussions about the meaning of 2012,  there have commonly been suggestions that we would be approaching a time filled with so called Earth Changes and natural disasters of different kinds to the point where it has sometimes been presented as if this would be all that the Mayan calendar is all about.  Especially in the light of the terrible disaster that has struck Japan only a few days after the beginning of the Ninth Wave, it then becomes natural to ask if this was predictable based on the Mayan calendar and if there would be more such to expect for instance in the Pacific Rim of Fire.

Earthquakes have their origin in the continental drift, which is caused by convection streams of heated magma rising from the hot interior of the Earth.  As these convection streams cause tectonic plates to move,  these will--on the surface of the Earth experience--create tensions between these plates.  When these are released, enormous energies will create disasters--especially so when densely populated areas are hit.

As I have presented both in Solving the Greatest Mystery of Time: The Mayan Calendar (2001) and The Purposeful Universe (2009), the continental drift in general has its origin in the alautun shifts of the Mayan calendar that was behind this drift in the Mammalian Underworld. In this very general sense you might say that all earthquakes (and volcanic eruptions) have an origin in the kinds of shifts that the Mayan calendar describes.

Given that an alautun is 63.1 million years long, this has hardly allowed us to give any basis for any detailed predictions as to when and where an earthquake may strike given how large the geological structures are that are affected by the continental drift.  To my knowledge, no one has been able to provide a convincing pattern relating Earthquakes to the Mayan calendar even though serious attempts have been made (see for instance William C. Treurniet's website).

There are many complicating factors involved and so, for instance, while some sources claim that there has been an increase in earthquakes over the past decades for quakes 3.0 and above on the Richter scale, the US Geological Survey maintains that the number of quakes of 7.0 (which are potentially of a disastrous nature) has remained constant over several decades.  I see no reason to question their general assessment even though today with the high population density all over the world there is always a very serious risk that large numbers of human lives will be lost.

Nonetheless, I tend to believe that the terrible 9.0 quake that hit Japan was directly related to the beginning of the Ninth Wave. There are some reasons that I believe this to be the case. 

The first is that already on March 9, 2011,  a very unusual pattern was observed by Frank Zweers regarding the printouts of global seismographs. This observation was thus made before and lasted until, the actual quake in Japan, and showed that something was in the works already, as the energy of the Ninth Wave started to come in. 

The other reason to believe that the quake and tsunami in Japan was actually related to the beginning of the Ninth Wave is the astonishing parallel with the great Lisbon Earthquake in 1755. Both of these quakes, and the tsunamis that followed, happened as a new wave in the Mayan calendar began, the one in Lisbon at the beginning of the Planetary Underworld and the one in Sendai at the beginning of the Universal. The one in Lisbon hit several months (on All Saints Day) after the day on which the new wave was activated, but given that this had a much lower frequency this is what you would expect if you saw it as an immediate effect of this. The strength of both has been estimated to 9.0, and there were also many aftershocks in both cases. They occurred at exactly the same latitude and not far from opposite longitudes on the planet and this is again exactly what you would expect if they were related to the shift in the Mayan calendar. 

The logic here is that as a new wave is activated  changes need to take place in the interior of the Earth in order to create a new form of resonance to the human beings. While the Seventh Wave favored the back side of the planet (where Lisbon is located) the Ninth Wave is expected to favor the front side of the planet (where Japan is located). If this reasoning is true we would look upon these two quakes as reflections of adjustments in the interior of the Earth that are necessary to mediate the information from the Cosmic Tree of Life to the human beings.

The Lisbon quake in 1755 had enormous repercussions of a philosophical nature and so, for instance, Voltaire argued that the creator overseeing this world could not be benevolent as he allowed this disaster to destroy a whole capital of Europe taking more than 100,000 lives in several different countries. In a similar way I know some people are now asking if the Ninth Wave that seemed to be designed to bring unity consciousness will bring many natural catastrophes such as earthquakes. 

Is there a benevolent plan behind this? Before we place judgment on the intelligence that created this cosmic plan I feel we should be aware that it is not necessarily an easy thing to do to manifest such a plan with all that it entails. I do not see any evidence that it would be a punishment either, but something that came out of a necessity to create the resonance with a new wave. Yet, I believe this is a time when we need to show our solidarity with the Japanese people and offer help in the ways that it is in our power to do. 

My own view is that we should continue to focus on the transformation to unity consciousness and praying for and sharing the experience of the Japanese people is exactly an expression of this. I  do not believe that there will necessarily be an increased frequency of strong quakes in the time to come (there was for instance not such an increase after the Lisbon quake) and while we always have a choice as to how to look upon reality, I believe that what will lead us forward is the light. Maybe the Earth is now adjusted to mediate unity consciousness to the human beings, which remains our highest purpose and presumably that of the cosmic plan.
