“We will be witnesses to the confrontation of the Negative and Positive forces, the eternal fight among polarity, the fight between the Eternal Fire and the Eternal Ice, as the Great Masters have named it, rough and magical times, prophetic times, as the Master, Don Pascual, would have said”
– Carlos Barrios

A Confluence of Energies:
As we can see from the chapters in the Darkness Before Dawn series, there’s a confluence of energies taking place with many cycles and transitions shifting and overlapping:
1 – We are currently in a 20-year time period that returns every 256 years (the Maya Katuns Cycle/Short Count calendar) during which, major ideological, religious and spiritual crises arise that have historically led to revolutions and civil wars (see Part 2).
2 – The prophecy for Katun 2 Ahau is unfolding in real-time and is exacerbated by the effects of the ongoing Covid-19 measures. The feast to famine shift-point will be in the middle of this katun, at the end of 2022 (see Part 2).
3 – We have descended into the metaphysical underworld as defined by Mayan mythology, within the context of the Dark Rift transit (see Part 3). Between 2027 and 2032, we will traverse the centre point of the Dark Rift. Different rules apply in the underworld; we are constantly being tested by the dark forces within it (more details will be provided in this series).
4 – Human consciousness is in a general slump (and a slumber) and, therefore, a low, due to the World Soul transition in the Precession of the Equinoxes Cycle (Parts 3 4 5). Lower consciousness results in greater upheaval, because when consciousness descends it reverts to a less structured, and, therefore, less differentiated (i.e. less developed) state.
5 – In the Maya Venus Cycle, the same energy returns every 104 years. The years 1914 to 1918 are aligned with the years 2018 to 2022, placing us energetically in a similar (but not exactly the same) time-period as the First World War (see Part 5).
6 – The Spanish flu happened in 1918, which is 104 years ago (when counting back from 2022). That indicates a pattern in the Maya Venus Cycle (see Part 5). Since March of 2020, the world has experienced a pandemic-scenario called Covid-19. To date, the two pandemics have been very different, which is in line with the tendency of cycles to return, but to not repeat exactly in the same way.
7 – The new Light of Truth has starting to filter into the world because of the Vedic Subsubyuga shift that started in 2020. At the same time, dense and dark energies have been accumulating rapidly to suppress it (a phenomenon to be expected, according to Maya and Vedic sources). By 2032, the Light of Truth will have grown strong enough to illuminate much of the deepest darkness of the Dark Rift transit (see Part 5).
8 – In 2032, we will shift into the most spiritual katun – Katun 13 Ahau that will last until 2052 (there are thirteen 19.7 year katuns in the 256 year Maya Short Count/Katuns cycle and Katun 13 Ahau is the last katun in the cycle. A new 256 year cycle starts in 2052).
9 – In the Vedic Subsubyuga Cycle, we entered the Satya Sububyuga in 2020. In terms of consciousness, it means a shift from high materialism to lower materialism, and from low spirituality to higher spirituality (see Part 5). On a practical level, withdrawal symptoms could result in resource hoarding and competition over left-over resources and that could lead to wars.
10 – The world has entered a fossil fuel energy decline (see Part 5 and the Resources Page) and that’s likely to have significant repercussions in the years to come. This long-predicted scenario is in line with the 2022 feast to famine shift-point in the prophecy of Katun 2 Ahau (see Part 2).
11 – In the current 20-year energy pyramid of the Maya Short Count Cycle, we are passing through a peak-polarisation period from 2020 to 2025. We will be in the eye of the storm in the years 2022 and 2023 which will probably extend into 2024 (see the Energy Pyramid below and also the relevant chapter: Darkness Before Dawn – Part 1).
By J.J. Montagnier
Contemplating all of the above, naturally raises the question of how to navigate it all and as we continue through the two chapters linked below, we will see that by always having truth as our guide, we will have the wind in our sails:

I very much hope, Jean Jacques, that we will concentrate in the future less on materialism and more on spirituality ! In this sense all the best in 2022!:)

Hello Martina and Happy New Year! I agree and fortunately when we read the energies it seems that will indeed be the case (although it will probably take a few years). I wish you a peaceful 2022 and may we be able to travel again soon! 🙂 All the best!

Would you like to be part of a spiritual musings WhatsApp group? It is a group for like-minded souls who’d like to share thoughts, quotes, musings and all things related to spirituality. There are over 78 participants so far in a few weeks, these are friends from all around the world. Let me know if you’d like this and I’ll add you, the aim is to create community and tribe. My email is ~ ambervi0@outlook.com 🙏🏻✨
January 2nd, 2022 at 1:02 pm
Hi there Amber, thank you for the invitation! You might be surpised, but I don’t use WhatsApp at all since I don’t own a Smartphone (by choice). I would be happy to join if the group is also active by e-mail, or on another platform (generally I don’t do social media [FB & TWR, etc] except for WordPress.

Hi, JJ, and Happy New Year. During the New Year weekend, I have been pouring over past writings and past blogs, including an exchange we had last year.
Certain themes seem to re-occur, one having to do with predictions. Another involves the various frameworks people use to structure their perceptions of reality.
I still stumble over the definition of “truth”. It seems to rest with the perceiver. For instance, my little hen, Tweety, just jumped up from a dirt bath and ran under cover, afraid of a sudden gust of wind. Her “truth”, in this context, has survival value, but she has the desire to survive, according to my “truth” which desires her survival.
My position is convoluted, in that it encompasses many facets, belief systems, and experiences, but with little judgment regarding the “good” or “evil”, “dark” or “light”, which only have validity in relation to something else.
What good does it do to predict the future? The Venus cycle of 104 years, relating the Spanish flu to the current panic-demic is valid for deepening understanding, but it’s not going to stop a falling branch from hitting my Tweety.
January 3rd, 2022 at 2:11 am
Hi Katharine, Happy New Year to you too! If truth rests with the perceiver then everything and anything could be considered “good’ by the perceiver, for example theft, murder, rape, etc … on the other hand, human rights, freedom of speech, the right to safety, the right ro privacy, etc could be considered “abominations” by the perceiver.
To me that sounds like living in hell (a living hell), because anything would go … is that the world you would prefer to live in? (for real .?.).
Your Tweety (bless her sweet feathered soul) is not a human, although I take your point that humans are not much different than chickens in some instances (more like sheep, actually),
Some people are able to learn from history (from cycles) and some are not. I’m interested in cycles, so I write about it. Other people might be interested in knitting, cooking or gardening, so they write about that. Does any of that change the world? Perhaps, who could say. but we are compelled to do it, regardless.
I can however highly recommend learning about a very particular cycle in American history – if the future does not bother you (or Tweety …) then your’e one lucky bird! 😉
January 3rd, 2022 at 2:48 am
I’m interested in cycles, too, thus history, astrology, astronomy, life cycles. But I’m also a synthesizer who recognizes that every part of the whole contributes to the picture. How do you define “good” except by comparison to “bad”? Both are value judgments, depending on perspective.
I mention animals because they are innocently amoral, yet they subscribe to certain codes that allow them to function individually and in groups. Who taught them, was it genetic? The Nature vs. Nurture argument has gone on a very long time. How do non-human societies organize themselves without written rules and taxes, property rights and money?
Studying astrology has made me leary of predictions, because these set up expectations or fears that follow their own courses.
To be fully present in the moment is a skill that we can learn from animals and from nature, which never rests and is always changing.
January 3rd, 2022 at 3:26 am
Animals have instinct – they are naturally coded by nature – they are programmed by it. That’s direct evidence of intelligent design, yet somehow humans still can’t see that.
Humans, on the other hand, do not have well developed instincts – in that sense we are inferior to animals… Our replacement system for instinct is that we have to define what is good/bad; dangerous/safe for ourselves within each situation – and often we get it wrong! Your Tweety did not have to think about whether a hust of wind was ‘bad’, she simply reacted.
The probem with the modern human is that it has no frameworks for right/wrong or good/bad or safe/dangerous.
“Bieng fully present in the moment” is an impossibility for the Western mind because it’s utterly addicted to distracting activities and devices such as TV’s, Smartphones, Video games, social medias, etc.
Show me a western person who is capable of being consistent on any potions of right/wrong. One moment apartheid is wrong, the next moment it’s fine (medical apartheid in the form of those who have had injections and those who have not). One moment it’s all about equality (for all), the next moment only certain lives matter, but not all.
What a joke! Humans are not to be taken seriously, especially the ‘civilized’ ones.
January 3rd, 2022 at 3:59 am
Possibly humanity’s biggest problem is that we take ourselves too seriously. Watching animals–not just my animals–helps me lighten up, because they exude a joyfulness rare in humans. Before Tweety jumped up and ran, I was enjoying watching how she rolled around in that dirt bath–a truly sensuous experience.
How many humans have the capacity for pure pleasure without guilt or shame (or other self-conscious judgement)?
How many humans have the ability to allow for others’ divergence from conventional standards?
January 3rd, 2022 at 9:04 am
Those are all valid points and good questions Katharine. I suppose it call comes down to perception. One can look at it from one side or the other, a capacity that humans have and animals not. Because our consciousness is affected by duality there will always be at least two views or perspectives, but usally a whole plethora. That said, often divergent views are not tolerated – as you said, or views are imposed on others: human ego overrding consciousnes.
All in all I think it’s clear that human consciousness is still in development – and that we still have a lomg way to go, considering the all the polarization and conflict in the world right now. I fnd my solace in studying the cycles of time becuase it gives me a general indication of how humans will think and behave. The advantage of that (for me) is that it tells me that ultimately the Universe is in charge through the cycles, because the cycles to large extent detemine mindsets, trends and events. (Few humans can escape the cycles because few humans are consciously autonomous.).
I really enjoyed this dicussion, Katharine. Let’s see what 2022 holds. I’m postive about the year, but I sense it’s a year where one will have te pro-active to navigate it effectively.

I’ve been wanting to trade feedback on a feeling like we’re “going down the drain” – going faster and faster, to that place between North/South where the toilets flush the other way. Maybe the centrifugal force, will draw all the dark matter away that no longer serves. EVERYTHING is coming to a POINT of the Truth we’ve been going around and around to see.
January 7th, 2022 at 9:58 am
Yes, everything’s descending rapidly – will probably continue for a few years more, which is why people need preserve themselves individually until the turn-around eventually happens.
January 7th, 2022 at 3:38 pm
You just played the Truth in spades. It’s what I’ve been seeing over and again, that’s hard to hear and take to heart. I pray we can hang on to each other from far away, if not close up. I love you. I feel very “screwed up”. love, in lak’ech, Debra
January 7th, 2022 at 4:13 pm
What Ian Lungold taught as the “end-all” point at the top of the Tun calendar prophecy, is “everything happening at once” and Human’s transformation of Conscious to “know all at once” through our Gift of Telepathy. The further we tether out on the physical plane, apart from human thoughts – the more we only see the big picture. the NINTH TONE – the Ninth Wave? – that completes creation. Maybe it’s ALWAYS just above our human consciousness – and we transcend the Time that is a human construct,. .. to KNOW the ends of ALL Time is Love – and nothing else matters in the down below. My point was – the less we say and the more we use CHICCHAN, the more Truth shines in the ZENITH light. I’m SO glad – I can REALLY SIT T HIS ONE OUT. I’ll comment telepathically from now on – tune in to CHICCHAN channel. LOL

Your tag line is so perfect: Explorer, Philosopher, Photographer.
Wishing you the best as we move into more uncertain times, keep the spirit moving forward.
March 20th, 2022 at 4:05 pm
Much appreciate the feedback and best wishes. These are uncertain times indeed, but we have the cycles as our guide and the wisdoms of the elders which I believe we should revisit many times over. I will provide more examples of that in my next essay due in April.
March 17th, 2022 at 8:57 pm
Nice explanation, of Katun 2 Ahau , I enjoyed the post Jean-Jacques.😊
March 20th, 2022 at 4:02 pm
Thank you for reading and responding 🙂 Yes, we can already see and feel the turbulence and the year is still young! Seatbelts should be firmly ON!
