Harmonic Convergence-Ninth Anniversary Proclamation - Total Recall at last, August 12, 1996
Jose Arguelles, (born 1939), planetary whole systems anthropologist, received his Ph.D. in Art History and Aesthetics from the University of Chicago in 1969. In a distinguished career as an educator, he taught at Princeton University, University of California, Evergreen State College, San Francisco State University, San Francisco Institute of Art, the Naropa Institute, the University of Colorado, and The Union Graduate School.
His pioneering books resulting from investigations into human whole systems include: Mandala (1972), A Psychophysical Aesthetic (1972), The Transformative Vision: Reflections on the Nature and History of Human Expression (1975) (1992), and most importantly, Earth Ascending: An illustrated Treatise on the Law Governing Whole Systems (1984, 1988).
As one of the founders of Earth Day, 1970 (First Whole Earth Festival, Davis, California. 1970), Arguelles is a career activist for peace and the planetary transformation of consciousness. With his wife and partner, Lloydine, they founded the Planet Art Network (1983), promoting the revival of the Nicholas Roerich Peace Pact and Banner of Peace (1935). Combining investigations of the Roerich Peace Pact with his lifetime study of the mathematics and prophesies of the Mayan Calendar, Arguelles initiated the Harmonic Convergence, August 16-17, 1987, global meditation and planetary peace event.
Following his unraveling of the Mayan calendar code in his international best seller, The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology (1987), Arguelles and his wife continued scientific and mathematic investigations of the timing frequency underlying the Mayan calendar system of ancient Central America. The result of their research was the discovery of the 12:60 - 13:20 timing frequencies and the breakthrough set of tools and proofs of the mathematics of fourth-dimensional time, Dreamspell: the Journey of Timeship Earth 2013 (1991, 1992), the Thirteen Moon Calendar (1992), A Treatise on Time Viewed from its Own Dimension (1992), and finally, Telektonon: the Talking Stone of Prophesy, the thirteen moon calendar, prophesy, game, and universal peace plan (1993-94).
If the human race does not reject the current twelve-month Gregorian Calendar and replace it by the new Thirteen Moon 28-Day Calendar by July 26, 1995, it will very soon bring about its own self-destruction.
Changing calendars by this date is a planetary ultimatum. The Thirteen Moon Calendar Change is the spearhead of a peace plan that calls for a universal cease-fire on July 25, 1995 to observe the historically unprecedented calendar change and a five-year follow-up program, Pax Cultura Pax Biospherica.
In order to implement their program, the Autonomous People's Planetary Moral Emergency Committees of the Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Movement are serving world leaders notice in the form of a "Biospheric Oath" to uphold the calendar change. Leaders who receive this Oath are given until July 24, 1995 to publicly affirm their support of the calendar change. After this date, if they do not agree to the Oath, they will be publically known as "enemies of the biosphere."
Through diplomatic channels the first world leaders to receive notice of the calendar change and Biospheric Oath are Pope John Paul II, Chief of State of the Vatican, and Boutros Boutros Ghali, Secretary General of the United Nations.
The premise of the Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Movement is that the current Gregorian Calendar and the mechanical clock constitue an artificial timing frequency which is responsible for human alienation from nature and the creation of a thoroughly materialistic civilization dominated by money and machines. By changing the calendars and calling a halt to all human activity for one day, the Day Out of Time, July 25, 1995, and beginning a new time, July 26, 1995, the human race will have accomplished an unprecendented moment of World Peace. The impact of this one event and the calendar change will redirect humanity into the correct timing frequency of nature represented by the biologically accurate Thirteen Moon 28-Day Calendar.
According to Thirteen Moon Calendar Movement Messengers, Jose and Lloydine Arguelles, "the calendar change is the only way to put the brakes on the self-destructive course of present-day civilization. It is the only way to stop the moral atrocities and environmental abuse that are now being committed on behalf of the nationalism and economic development. Not only is the Thirteen Moon 28-Day Calendar scientifically more regular and accurate than the current twelve-month Gregorian Calendar, but its implementation also represents a moment of prophetic truth for all of humanity."
Atonomous People's Planetary Moral Emergency Committee, Santiago, Chile, Resonant Moon 222, Red Lunar Moon Year, January 31, AD 1995
In a published interview in the Santiago, Chili, newspaper, El Mercurio, January 8, 1995, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, was quoted as saying that if the United Nations was to be thought of as something "more than a subcontract of the United States Department of State," that it had to explore new avenues for strengthening world peace, especially during its 50th anniversary year.
The United Nations Charter, Article I, Paragraph 2 reads:
"The purpose of the United Nations is to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace."(Italics the Author)
Two very recent examples of "appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace:"
Beginning with support from Robert Muller, Chancellor of the UN sponsored University for Peace, Costa Rica (September, 1994), the Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Plan and auxiliary documents were presented to the Director-General of UNESCO (December, 1994, and to Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Seceretary-General of the United Nations (February, 1995). At the suggestion of UNESCO and in order to support the proposed calendar peace plan, an auxillary Planetary Moral Emergency Symposium was proposed to explore the immediate possibilities and implications of such reform to occur July 26, 1995, preceded by a universal cease-fire, July 25. With the support of Francisco Barahona, Rector of the University for Peace, a plan for the three-day Symposium was prepared and circulated to various individuals worldwide. The Symposium was projected for May 12-15, 1995.
As proposed in the letter to Mr. Boutros Bouros-Ghali, the authors of the Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Plan were in New York, April 12-17, available for consultation regarding the Peace Plan. In addition, copies of the peace plan were left with the secretaries of Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali for deliverance to the representatives of the 180 member nations. No meeting with Mr. Bouros Boutros-Ghali occurred, nor was there any further support or interest demonstrated on behalf of the Moral Emergency Symposium. On May 11, 1995, the authors of the Peace Plan received a FAXed statement from Ronald L. Guinns, Senior Officer, Fiftieth Anniversary Secretariat. The critical part of this FAX reads:
" The United Nations' Anniversary commemorations will focus on educational and communications projects which convey to the peoples of the world information about the work and goals of the organization. I regret that it is not possible for the United Nations to sponsor or otherwise endorse other projects as part of this commemoration." Mr. Guinns' statement shows that Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali was insincere in calling for new directions for peace (January 8, 1995), and hense, invalidates the Secretary General's assertion that the United Nations is not a subcontract of the U.S. Department of State.
More critically, the refusal to sponsor or otherwise endorse the Thirteen Moon Calendar Peace Plan is in direct contradiction of the United Nations Charter Article I, Paragraph 2, regarding the UN's purpose of taking "other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace."The United Nations position of self-defensive retrenchment in promoting its own achievements and interests without and consideration of the scientific, social, environmental, and political implications of the Thirteen Moon Calendar Reform at this critical time on the planet and especially, as part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations, is a serious breach of its own covenant, and a default of its interests in serving the people and their planetary biosphere.
The Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Plan includes a five-year schedule for assertive peaceful change in accord with the natural timing frequency of the new calendar, replacing the artificial and irregular timing frequency of the old Gregorian calendar. Known as the Pax Cultura Pax Biospherica, the five-year peace plan takes as its legal historical support, the already existing Roerich Peace Pact for the Protection of Artistic, Cultural and Historic Monuments in times of war. Originally signed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the heads of the 21 other Pan-American Nations at the White House, April 15, 1935, this pact is recognized as part of the official archives of the United Nations.
In conjunction with the Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Plan commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations, were proposals to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Roerich Peace Pact. April 15, 1995, as well as to revive and extend the principles of the Roerich Peace Pact to include protection of the planetary biosphere. The United Nations rejected all proposals to celebrate in any way the Roerich Peace Pact and Banner of Peace. This refusal to honor an already existing Peace Pact that could provide new avenues and approaches to world and universal peace are again in contradiction of its own Charter, Article I, Paragraph 2, to undertake "other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace."
Given the current state of the world dominated by G-7 banking interests and the unilateral assertion of technological and military control of events including the performance of the UNPROFOR in the Bosnia-Serbia Civil War, the conclusion must be drawn that the United Nations is participating in the moral failure and incompetence of democracy that now characterizes all of world civilization. The behavior of the United Nations with regard to the Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Plan and Roerich Peace Pact demonstarates that the collective will of the human species is bankrupt and hopelessly at odds with its own best interests and the order of its natural environment.
In order to avoid ultimate catastrophe and to provide a legitemate basis for reestablishing a genuine nonviolent, non-militaristic peace on this planet, the Thirteen Moon Autonomous Peoples' Committees invoke the Roerich Peace Pact and Banner of Peace to promote and establish the new time of thirteen moons 28 days and the biospheric covenant of Earth Sovereignty to supersede the United Nations as it is now constituted.
The invocation of the biospheric covenant of the new time is effective as of June 26, 1995, Crystal Moon 28, the 50th Anniversary of the signing of the United Nations' Charter. As of July 26, 1995, Magnetic Moon 1, White Electric Wizard, the first day of the new time of universal peace, declarations of Earth Sovereignty will announce the beginning of the Autonomous Peoples Committees to implement the yearlong transition from the old calendar time to the new calendar time.
Change your calendar. Change your mind. Respespectfully submitted by Jose and Lloydine Arguelles, Coordinators World Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Movement.
re: State of Mind, USA, 1995: the problem of the Planetary Biosphere.
Description of collective state of mind: twisted, self-absorbed, inhumane, intolerant, morbidly fascinated, self-insulated in a bubble fortified by two powerful illusions: 1) world supremacy, and 2) money.
Result: world supremacy of money creating state of consciousness dominated by reflexes of self-defensive retrenchment incapable of receiving any new ideas or information; hence, genuine dialogue is non-existent, and should it occur, is treated as life-threatening.
The main information media and forms of entertainment are dominated by images of violence, and the maintenance of massive military forces considered a major political asset. Hence the society is riddled with gratuitous violence of all kinds and the growth of anarchic vigilante or militia groups. The central television media news focus for one year now has been the murder case and trial (21 weeks running) of a former sports hero. Following suit, the murder trial of a popular entertainer will soon be featured on the chief music-entertainment television channel. Despite this media fixation, the society elders act puzzled at the amount of violence and general decay characterizing American society.
Within this self-insulated bubble of dense, unquestioning ignorance, the idea of social or any other change appears to be unnecessary. The relation of the USA to the rest of the planet socially, politically, economically, and environmentally is dominated by a profound "I'm OK, don't bother me," isolationism. The oligarchy has deeply entrenched itself in political power exemplified by the Republican 104th Congress. The mass consciousness, including that of the poorest people, is characterized by complacency, apathy, and fear punctuated by random violence. The issue of job security is continuously used to maintain the lid on free expression. Artistic genres are characterized by violence, sentimentality and chaos. Rapidly engaged in the most accelerated forms of cybernetic technology, any real continuity with the past has been erased. The only commemorative events celebrated for purpose of maintaining the image of world supremacy are the events concerning the end of the last World War, as well as stock-in-trade patriotic holidays.
Intolerance of death and financial loss are characterized by massive medical technology to prolong life artificially and by financial stock market which only sets new, record highs. The insurance industry and burgeoning legal profession assure that the intolerance of death and accidents of any kind will be both lucrative and life-complicating.
This overall state of mind has become 'permanent' since the end of the Cold War, 1990, which actually ended the dialectic of history. At this point the balance of power shifted unequivocally to the Americans and their powerful industrial allies, all together known as the G-7. The notion that the direction in which the American mind has solidified itself is totally at the expense of the biosphere and the well-being of the rest of the planet is unheard of and unthinkable. It is also true that the American state of mind has forfeited any genuine self reflection and, immersed in its own form of hedonistic eternalism, is incapable of grasping in any critical way its self-defeating course of violence and destruction.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Never before in the 5,000-year history of civilization has one people or nation absolutely dominated the rest of the planet in its entirety as does the USA today. Not Rome, not Hitler's Germany, manifest such absolute power with so much abuse of the truth. American military supremacy and the philosophy of military force as the chief principle of political mediation are at the heart of world affairs.
From the point of view of the American mind there is no alternative whatsoever to the current state and course of affairs. Lacking all perspective, the inert momentum of the American will must be seen as a major contributing factor to the impending castrophe that will very soon and inevitably engulf the entire planet: the collapse of the planetary biosphere.
Recommendation: acts of divine intervention in the form of natural disasters to break the belief system bubble and collapse the artificial economic structure, while a critical mass 'underground' pursues enlightened return to natural order through the World Thirteen Moon 28 Day Calendar Change Peace Movement.

It must be asked: What is it that will help the people and at the same time help the Earth?
The religion of truth and the religion of the Earth must be one: people of the book reunited with the people of the dawn. This can only be done by placing everyone in a new, common time that is in tune with the cycles of nature and the Earth. This is the universal harmony accomplished by the Thirteen Moon 28 day Calendar Change.
The religion of truth is the religion of the Earth. Earth needs a religion of truth that is not dogma, not money, not sect, and not anything defined by boundaries, paper, or selfishness of any kind. Only truth will satisfy the Earth. If asked: Of what religion are you? Answer: I am the religion of the truth which is the religion of the Earth.
The Thirteen Moon 28-Day Calendar Change is a fundamental change. It is not a legislative change, but a change mandated by divine authority that transcends and unifies all sects and creeds in a higher calling of the Earth.
Planetary service is the basis of the new time. Ask not what you can do for yourself, your religion, or your country, but what you can do for your planet. New groups of planetary servers are needed to transcend dogmas of money, nationalism, and sectarianism of every kind. Who yet understand the fundamentally spiritual nature and divine unity of all creation.
Calling all planetary servers, those who can walk a Planetary Service Wavespell together on behalf of the Earth beyond creed of self, sect, country or dogma of any kind, free in spirit, knowing no authority but the one divine spirit of all creation!
Planetary servers, wizards of the Earth: the Earth is calling for all wizards to work a Planetary Service Wavespell. The Earth is recruiting now for duty beginning White Electric Wizard, July 26, AD 1995, the wavespell of planetary servers in action for the Earth.
The religion of truth is the religion of the Earth, a hoop big enough to gather all the nations beneath the flowering tree of the divine revelation of time, thirteen moons, 28 days, the planetary service wavespell path of human redemption and Earth regeneration.
Universal harmony, unification of all in a common time, peace on Earth everyday of every year, thirteen moons, 28 days. The time is now!
