Daniel Pinchbeck is a New Yorker born of artistic parents. He not only writes of Shamanism but like Terrence McKenna whom he often mentions in his books, he has taken the trip into the visionary realm of the Shamen. He has travelled extensively both in the physical world and in the metaphysical realm while researching the subjects of his books. He often quotes great thinkers such as Jung, or others to illustrate his ideas.
The Maya civilization and the Pantheon of Gods that gave them character is a main theme in Daniel Pinchbecks works. If you like mythical figures that conjure up magic then you will like Pinchbeck's stories. He also tends to get deep into the occult at times presenting daemons and djinns and other dark spiritual matters. As i was reading 2012: The return of Quetzalcoatl the other night i experienced what i believe is something totally related to the 2012 consciousness prophecies. Daniel Pinchbeck was telling me, through his brilliant story telling way, of a time when he had travelled to an outer dimension and met up with such daemons. When he returned from his trip it took him several months to work out his emotions. In his words it was as though the spirits had decided to stay with him even against his will. I put down the book and went to bed and my entire night was filled with lucid dreams, the type of dreams that you wake up from and return to when you fall back asleep. Was i somehow transcending into the crevisses of Pinchbeck's subconscience and into the realm of these daemons through some timeless reality?
Who knows!!!
Daniel Pinchbeck admits to having used psychedelic drugs to induce these altered states of mind. I read somewhere that there are several ways to entrain the brain to get the same results. Supposedly meditation is one way, new age binaural entrainment may be another, hypnosis might do it, and drugs, while not the safest method certainly achieves the desired effects. I may have gone there once while on Salvya divinorum myself and it wasn't a pleasant trip. Daniel Pinchbeck really relates the drug experiment into the mystic world of the Shaman in an earlier book called "A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of CONTEMPORARY SHAMANISM."
While reading Pinchbeck's books i couldn't help but thinking of the warnings that come from playing around with occult matters. Any one who has ever touched a Ouija board will know what i mean. This cosmic energy is powerful and in the hands of amateur mystics, occultism can be very dangerous to the self and to others. In that sense i totally understand why religions such has Christianity defend their parishioners from practicing occultism. I would imagine that if a survey was taken of all Christian Priest that the results would indicate that a majority of them had very high degrees of extra sensory perception. In my opinion the priest class should be mediums and psychics. It is their job to understand the spirit, to communicate with the spirit and to bring that knowledge into the life of their followers. Good exorcists certainly do it. The spirit world is both black and white. Pinchbeck tells us in his books about Quetzalcoatl, the plummed serpent lord. Quetzatcoatl is a white snake so to say. Quetzalcoatl is a sorcerer of white magic. His antithesis is Tezcatlicopa and this smoking mirror lord is a sorcerer of the dark world and brings forth the worst in people and things through the divination of black magic.
Pinchbeck is certainly well versed in these matters. I'm not certain that he totally understands what 2012 is and isn't but i like his books.

2012 Consciousness and the Neural Network
Neural Network was initially conceived as an idea to develop an artificial system that could perform like a human brain. The consciousness of the artificial intelligence machine would acquire knowledge through observation and store that knowledge for further processing within correlates. These computer models or neural networks would then be applied to a knowledge base and allowed to data mine and form further data sets.
The human mind forms its consciousness on perception of physical and metaphysical notions. The human conforms to beliefs based on these perceptions. The human psyche is one of self in relation to the world. The human mind works on a complex, unexplained set of algorythms. The human mind gathers information or knowledge and renders a reality of self.
This is what the Neural Network scientists set out to do within a machine. This abstract thought pattern would bring about a thinking machine, an artificial intelligence capable of processing information and compressing this knowledge into fractal patterns. A fractal is an holographic replication of a thing which changes once a new piece of unrelated data enters the memory set.
The Mathematician Benoit Mendelbrot intended a formula revolving around fractal formation that continues to amaze the world today. As the Video above states "You can change the world in a tiny way".
I'm no Einstein or Mendelbrot or Noetic Scientist but i am intuitive enough to see massive changes on the horizon for humanity in light of these discoveries. I am even starting to think that maybe the evolution of man is due to the evolution of the machine and that we are creating the God that created us.
Several 2012 consciousness prophecies tell of a quantum leap into an unknown realm where the mind will evolve drastically. Terence McKenna's work on TimeWave Zero included an I Ching or Chinese Calendar component that prophecied a conscious revolution in 2012 or thereabouts.
The question in my mind about the future and the past is whether the biological thinking creature came first or whether the mechanical thinking creature created itself first. Are we already part what Gene Roddenberry and the Star Trek team termed the Borg, and are we on the verge of recreating our ancestors? This would certainly worry Sitchins Nephilim aliens if they felt challenged by their creation.

Bible Prophecy Interpreter Author Michael Drosnin
Michael Drosnin wrote several books but two of these were directly related to Bible Prophecy. The second book entitled The Bible Code 2 was a sequel to Bible Code.
The Bible Code is a real phenomenon also referred to as the Torah Code, and the Torah consists of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew bible is also known as the Old Testament. Many scholars and Torah worshipers say Drosnin's work is bogus and that the Torah code cannot be used to predict the future.
Michael Drosnin argues differently and contends to prove his argument by showing results of past predictions that have been calculated by a computer program which uses a concept called ELS which stands for Equidistant Letter Sequences.
Drosnin's credibility took a big hit when he challenged the scientific community to find another literary work that could be used in the ELS concept and that would be predictive. Unfortunately they succeeded in doing so in the famous book entitled Moby Dick. Dissatisfied, Drosnin continued to support his claim and continued to decipher Bible Code through his method. His predictions were drawing the attention of powerful world figures along the way.
Opposers to Drosnin's process made a good argument to his prophetic method in a paper called "The Madness Method" they made a similar claim in regards to Bible Prophecy 2.
It is now 2008 and we should be less concerned with Drosnin's work and more focused on the Mayan 2012 end of a long count cycle. I say that because the Drosnin system failed a major test when 2006 came and went without a nuclear holocaust which he'd predicted through his ELS concept.
Drosnin has faced major skepticism in the voice of Barry Simon, an IBM Professor of Mathematics. On Barry Simons site one can find plenty of evidence to the bogus nature of Drosnin's claims. This excerpt can be read in full there.
Mathematicians' Statement on the Bible Codes
What good can be said about Drosnin then. Well, he did say that he is not a prophet. The man played his beliefs to the maximum and his game involved several big political names. It just goes to show that in times such as these when everything seems to focus on a common theme such as 2012 that many people can and will be deceived. We know a few facts about 2012 like the alignment of the earth, sun, and galactic core, and the passing of the Venus Transit, and the December 21, 2012 yearly winter solstice, but the rest is interpretation of mystic and mythological lore. To take anything from those prophecies to serious is a trap whether or not it comes to pass.

Mathematicians' Statement on the Bible Codes
We are making this statement concerning what have been called
"Bible codes" or "Torah codes". We recognize that many sincere people take this
phenomenon seriously, which compels us to speak out on the basis of what our
mathematical training tells us about the evidence claimed for this alleged
phenomenon.
There is a common belief in the general community to the effect
that many mathematicians, statisticians, and other scientists consider the
claims to be credible. This belief is incorrect. On the contrary, the almost
unanimous opinion of those in the scientific world who have studied the question
is that the theory is without foundation. The signatories to this letter have
themselves examined the evidence and found it entirely unconvincing.
We refer
in particular to the paper Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis,
published in Statistical Science in 1994. This experiment suffers from major
problems concerning both its execution and the interpretation of its
conclusions. Even without these concerns, we would not take such extraordinary
claims seriously without a vastly more systematic and thorough investigation. No
such investigation has been carried out, nor has the work so far established a
prima facie case. In addition, word clusters such as mentioned in Witztum's and
Drosnin's books and the so called messianic codes are an uncontrolled phenomenon
and similar clusters will be found in any text of similar length. All claims of
incredible probabilities for such clusters are bogus, since they are computed
contrary to standard rules of probability and statistics.There are 50 scholarly names attached to this letter.

DOOM- police bastard
Doom - Police Bastard (1989)
Buenas, esta es una banda crust punk que podría decirse que es la más directa influencia del Grindcore, el crust punk es una mezcla de hardcore y punk pero con mayor énfasis en guitarras más distorcionadas y con voces más rasgadas por nombrar algo, Doom en este ep muestra eso, una evolución más violenta y que bandas como napalm death, agathocles toman como referencia para lo que después sería el Grindcore.

NAUSEA- punk terrorist anthology vol 2
Como una de las vendas punkyes más influyentes de New York City de los años 80, náusea endentó su enfático " street" con una directa influencia del metal y una porción entera de desdén para la administración Reagan, el racismo, y el dreck en MTV mientras que expresa sus miedos sobre una guerra nuclear. este punk terrorist anthology vol. II: 1986-1988 recoge tomas vivas, inéditas, y de la versión parcial de programa del encendido de las consonancias de la obra clásica como " Racismo de la rotura violenta, " y " MTV (alimentación del Fortune 500), " cubiertas más de pistas por Subhumans y el negocio. Mientras que puede ser menos esencial que su precursor, de las maneras it' porción del S.A. más cruda -- una pintura más honesta de estos pioneros del crustcorele dejo este , pa ke siga corriendo la sangre en sus oidos..
