The Maya, in their wisdom, call the coming age the Age of Flowers. This will be an age where humanity 'flowers'. It is symbolised by the Hummingbird because the male Hummingbird vibrates at the same frequency as the female and is shiny and bright in all his glory and colour. This is the return of the male vibration to its true level, to the level where specialism is released as a way that no longer serves, and the male goes and 'sips from many flowers', just as the female does (she doesn't have the same colouring, she's always just been getting on with the work!).
This Mayan information aligns with the knowledge of the Age of Aquarius, the equalising of the flow and waveform of the two aspects of the duality, which were in oppostion during the Age of Pisces.
When the 26,000 year great cycle is divided by the true 13 constellations, including Orphiucus the serpent holder, we are confirmed as coming to the end of Pisces and into Aquarius, contrary to the theories of the ephemeris-led western astrological model, which dates the transition as being in about 160 years time.
The new human is one of harmony and balance, releasing the cycles of the past, evolving with the Galaxy as a whole.

Our Sun (Ahau Kin) is changing right now, and is causing major changes in our planetary weather and magnetic fields. This is physical fact. All the major storms and tectonic events can be shown to be linked with the huge solar flares which are regularly coming from certain sunspots area on the face of our Sun. Katrina was made huge and dangerous by solar flares, Rita was too. The Tsunami in January was caused by earth movement caused by solar flares, as were many other volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, storms and strange weather, all around the world in the last few years and more. We are in a period of solar activity the like of which has not been seen before in recorded time. It has prompted the Maya and others to warn that 'the Time is Now!' The changes are upon us. The Hopis said that "We are the ones we've been waiting for!". Another prophecy states that "only the Children of the Earth will survive". Many visions have been seen with flooding and chaos, with children being carried away from disasters.
Mars is also experiencing a warming right now. That means that 'global warming' is not caused by humans, it is caused by our very own Sun. The biggest ozone holes have been caused by solar flares. All this information and more can be seen through www.earthchanges.tv
We know that the Earth's activity is in direct relation to changes within the Sun, and that the Sun is receiving 'new' energy from elsewhere. According to some sources beams of energy are pulsing from Galactic Central.

In his website www.ascension2000.com David Wilcock says:

"The cause, as we have said before, is the Solar System increasingly penetrating into an area of higher energetic “density” in the galaxy – an area that is more highly charged. The Sun then absorbs and dissipates these charges out into the planetary system.

BRIEF TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

As described in the last two books of the Convergence series freely published on my website, the core of the Earth is actually composed of luminous energy, not molten metal. The Earth continually absorbs new energy from the Sun, energy known to the Russians as “torsion fields,” and this causes the pressure in the core to steadily increase – and this in turn is heating the oceans and causing the El Nino effect and a melting of the polar icecaps. Sometimes, however, there is a sudden spike in the energy levels streaming into the Earth, and this can be caused by certain astrological alignments, which have very real energetic effects in this new model. When the levels suddenly spike, some of the luminous core material is compressed so highly that it displaces into a higher “density.” In this model, that is equivalent to what is commonly called a dimensional shift.

Once this happens to an area of the Earth’s luminous core, a bubble of energy disappears from our physical “density,” and rotational inertia causes the bubble to fly away from the center of the Earth – as in a higher aetheric density it is no longer encumbered by the pressure of the physical matter in the Earth. However, within a short time of flying away from the center of the Earth it releases its excess energetic pressure and dips back down to our own density. When it does this, it is still at the blazing-hot temperatures at the surface of the Sun, and an explosive release of energy is created in the Earth along major fault lines, causing earthquakes and volcanic activity. In some cases the bright bubbles make it all the way to the surface, where they are seen as ‘plasmoids’ according to the Russian scientific community or “UFO sightings” to most of those in the West. These plasma formations often accompany earthquake and volcanic activity, as we have documented.

So again, as there is a sudden increase in solar energy output, earthquakes and volcanic activities result. In turn, these higher instreaming energetic levels have a direct effect on the mass consciousness of humanity, since the new energy coming in is of a higher quality of love. We have shown extensively how the Universe itself is composed of an intelligent, loving energy, and this instreaming energy is continually purging unloving structures in human consciousness, both in the individual and collective level. This often comes about through rather sudden and disruptive upheavals."

From another source:

"Our Sun is the mediator of intelligence projected as light from the Galactic core to the planetary mind of Earth. We as biological units of circuitry are the transducers of this information matrix. It is in discovering the co-creative nature of our relationship with the Sun and the Earth that our quintessential identity is revealed to us. For we are children playing between Earth and Stars. It is through us that the heart of our Mother is illuminated. To know ourselves as Servant Warriors of the Sun is to renounce our ego-based identity and invoke the purity of our souls to represent our Human expression. To embrace and empower unconditional love to take precedance over all other allegiances and agendas."

It will be many who choose the path of ascension, because they cannot walk the Earth without harming her. Those of us who remain will be here because we can walk in harmony and peace, with each other and with ALL living beings. We will need less and less to survive. We will be nurturers and carers for the planet. We will 'make more beautiful' and live totally sustainably. We will be in harmony with all the elements and in full communication with the 'other' 98% of reality around us. We will consume sacred plants in ceremony and harmony only, without addiction or fear. We will remember what has been forgotten, and use the other 5/6 of the brain, and other 98% of DNA. Our auras will increase in size to their full potential. We will release the hormone of death. We will collectively move great objects once more. We will remember the very important lessons of the past. We will 'Be' Love!
