The Web Bot Project and 2012

Maybe some of you have heard of The Web Bot Project, but for those of you who have not, it's quite intriguing. The Web Bot Project, developed in the late 1990's, was created to assist in making stock market predictions. The technology uses a system of spiders to crawl the Internet and search for keywords, much like a search engine does. When a keyword is located, the bot program takes a snapshot of the text preceding and following the keyword. This snapshot of text is sent to a central location where it is then filtered to define meaning.

The projects concept is aimed at tapping into the collective unconscious of the universe and it's inhabitants. As well, there is an interesting time concept involved and an unusual concept of a "tipping point" regarding the past, current, and future times.

So this goes a bit deeper than simply viewing what those of us on the Internet are saying, folks.

In 2001, the bot operators began to notice that stock market predictions were not the only matters being accurately predicted by the program and they began to take notice of the coincidence with occurrences and explored it further. One of the first accurate predictions from the bot program took place in June of 2001. At that time, the program predicted that a life altering event would take place within the next 60-90 days. An occurrence of such proportion that it's effects would be felt worldwide. The program based it's prediction on its filtered web chatter content which, I guess you could say, ultimately represents the collective unconscious of society.

Regrettably, the program's prediction proved accurate and the Twin Towers fell on 9/11/2001.

This is where it starts to become interesting. The bot program also predicts a worldwide calamity taking place in the year 2012. For those of you who study astrology, prophecies, and the like, you may already be familiar with this date. (At this point, I don't understand how anyone could not be. I'm seeing it and hearing about it everywhere now.) As you may already know, the Mayans are considered great "seers" by many and they built a society that focused it's studies on time, synchronicity, and consciousness. The Mayan calendar predicts that mankind will end in the year 2012. A period which also signifies the end of the current era in the Mayan calendar. But before you start hyperventilating, just relax. Because this end may represent a symbolic end more so than a literal end. A shift in consciousness, such as a societal shift into a spiritual age from a scientific one - an "evolutionary leap" if you will - by mankind. (Frankly, folks . . . its about time wouldn't you say?) Many have derived similar predictions from the I Ching or China's "Book of Changes." The I Ching was written in 2800 B.C. and is revered to this day in China.

A gentlemen by the name of Terrence McKenna studied the I Ching intensely and began to see a pattern emerging. From that pattern he produced a time line graph and called it the "Time Wave Zero" theory. Terrence's time line derived from the I Ching ended in the year 2012 - December 21, 2012 to be exact. The winter solstice.

More intriguing is the fact that many suggest that there is scientific evidence that points to a very rare astrological occurrence taking place the year of 2012. For millenia, the Mayans believed in the existence of a dark rift in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy and considered it fact. Only recently did modern scientists discover that it actually does exist. Previous to that, modern man was skeptical of the ancient societies belief. So, right smack-dab in the middle of our galaxy is a black hole. And in the year 2012, it is suggested that the sun and the earth will be in direct alignment with this black hole. Big deal? Yea, kinda. . . maybe. You see, scientists speculate that magnetic shifts could take place as a result. In essence, it is theorized that the poles could reverse. The poles have shifted before and Einstein, himself, had suggested this pole shifting theory in 1955.

And then there's Merlin. I'm sure many of you have heard of Merlin the magician. Merlin was believed to be a Celtic shaman that many of his day considered a "crazed man of the forest." As a result, during those times he was referred to as "Merlin the Wild." But what many don't realize is that Merlin was considered Europe's greatest oracle or "seer." And this "crazed man of the forest" predicted that the planets will "run riot" through the constellations completely off their normal paths of rotation. Scientists speculate that if this were to happen it would be a result of the earth changing it's rotation - or the poles shifting. Merlin also predicted that the use of "talking stones" would be taking place during this time of rioting. And for those of you who don't already know this - stone is the basis of our modern technology. Quartz stones in particular. Quartz technology is used in cell phones as well as computers. There's a little quartz crystal in your cell and the computer you're reading this on right now. And that little stone is the reason you can retrieve the information stored on your computer. You see, silicone quartz stores information that can then be retrieved at a later date.

Ever heard of the Mayan crystal skulls or "talking skulls" as they were referred to by the ancients? The Mayans coveted the crystal skulls which were carved from natural quartz crystal and they claimed the skulls talked to them and gave them information. Could it be that they actually did? Based on our knowledge of the capabilities of quartz crystal and it's uses for technology - it seems quite possible. Hewlett Packard studied the skulls in 1970 and their results were startling (check them out).

Even one of the oldest tribe in the United States, the Hopi Indian tribe, believed that the world has been created and destroyed four times previously. The Hopi's believe that we are on the brink of the Fifth World and they predicted that this occurrence would be preceded by submersion (rising waters), the sun getting hotter (global warming), and earth occurrences (hurricane's, tornadoes, and mass flooding). The Hopi's also predicted that the world at this time would be criss-crossed by a spider web (the Internet). They believed that the end of the Fourth World would be followed by the beginning of the Fifth World and that the evolution of life requires violence. Sad but true.

And it seems that all of these beliefs are in line with predictions made from one of the greatest book of prophecies ever written - the Holy Bible - and the Book of Revelation, in particular. The History Channel created a special that touches on this very subject titled: Doomsday 2012, The End of Days. It further explores the significance of this doomsday date in ancient prophecies, texts and writings. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out (and think on it for a while.)
