When I ask a question of "Kosmos" about cosmos (the Living Being about It's body) the answer comes quickly.

Since publishing the cosmology pages on this site I have learned that "the scientific community" is now "nearly certain" by some reports, based on the latest information from our deep space high tech sensors, that the present accelerating expansion of cosmos will never turn back via the overall pull of gravity... but keep expanding into infinite space forever. So"they" say, and who am I to argue? A lay scientist (amateur) and, truth be told, a visionary mystic. But I "saw" what I "saw" in the previous pages and shared it truthfully.

So given the apparent discrepancy, I asked Kosmos, or whatever level/scale the One Being "hears" my questions:
"Does this mean that my vision of the pulsating (bang-crunch) cosmos was in error or somehow illusory?"

The answer came just this evening (11/5/03 for those "keeping time.")

The form of the answer was experienced as coming from Logos, Divine Mind or Word, specifically as a logical solution.
The formal logic of  "If...(premise)...Then...(conclusion)" applies here. This means that "If" the latest findings of science are true ("crunch" is NOT part of the whole cosmic "cycle"...not now a cycle at all but forever outward expansion)...
"Then"... the "bang-crunch" cycle I "saw" (truly) was not the whole cosmos but (I must now assume) the pulsaton cycle of galaxies. (This is the next step-down of scale for a fully integrated system of mass around a single center of gravity... not to complicate it with interacting galactic gravitational fields, "colliding galaxies", or "galaxy clusters", which are realities but "messy" for purposes of clear communication.)

It has been 53 years since, at age 5, I first "saw" this bang-crunch phenomenon on "cosmic scale", or so I thought. So it must have been galactic scale all along, if our brilliant and freshly informed astronomer/mathmaticians are correct.(And this is still an "If" even in the context of this divine answer to my prayerful question.)

The "visuals" are the same for superlarge scale explosions of matter from supermassive black holes..SMBH's... (now "known" to exist at the center of every galaxy) into the cooling and diversifying forms of star systems and solar systems like our own beloved "home." And these  SMBH's are now observed (indirecly of course) to go through phases of "feeding" and dormancy.
This clearly  indicates that all galactic mass is centerd and spinning around its  SMBH, and when any form of matter gets close enough to its gravity well, it gets sucked in and compressed into extremely condensed matter. It is "dormant" when no matter is close enough to "fall in." As the black hole gradually grows more massive, it eventually "eats" the whole galaxy which it originally birthed out of the last big (galactic scale) bang.

So, if it is not an accurate vision of the whole cosmos, it is a vision of the birth, death, and rebirth of galaxies, as they explode from the nuclear fusion at center of the Parent Black Hole, and eventually collapse by gravitational attraction to the center... to "crunch" into massive unity and "bang" (fusion explosion) into galactic diversity again... in cycles... as all galaxies travel outward into infinite space.

So how does this scaled-down version of the bang-crunch cosmology affect the "cosmic wave of global enlightenment" prophecy? The "timing" of prophecies for global awakening is based on "prophetic observation"(by visionary prophets) of the rate of evolution of consciousness "here at home" on Earth. But I have not directly "seen" this metaphysical/spiritual growth except as we all observe the "hard labor" and "birth pangs" of  this global awakening gradually emerging from the flames and ashes of global conflict. I see it in the widespread growth of interest in enlightement (and living examples of it) and "more enlightened solutions" to global crisis on all levels...as available options if not yet "chosen" by all concerned... leaders and "the masses" alike.
What I did "see" as a true Vision was the solution to the ages-old puzzle of the Great Pyramid's prophetic "Chronograph."
In the Vision I was a child standing before the "Great Step." (See any of the multitudes of pyramid prophecy books.) I "saw" through the (solid stone) step and saw clearly how the "inch-year scale" on the Ascending Passage floor was projected directly onto the horizontal passage approaching the inner granite structure called the Secret House of God. The resulting horizontal chronograph, now slightly "compressed" (same horizonal progress equalling the same time lapse as on the inclined passage floor)... gave late 2013 to early 2014 as completion of passage through the "Door of the House of God." (Into the "Antechamber" where the Greater Mysteries are "Unveiled.")
Then I was led to study the Hopi and Mayan prophecies, which give 2011 and 2012, respectively, as  dates of "birth" for this new global consciousness by whatever name.

This is enough for now. An apology for "seeing" the Vision on cosmic rather than galactic scale might be "in order", but I really feel no remorse, as if I had been intentionally  misleading. If  I was seeing on galactic scale and assumed it was the whole cosmos, I was over my head as to scale....but... it is a vast scale either way, even for a mystic who has been "seeing cosmic visions" since early childhood. I will therefore assume that readers will give me some slack here rather than me making some pseudo-apology to appease the "chronically correct."... Grinning here... Calling it like I see it... and the big "IF" (if cosmos expands forever) is still an "if" until at least as full a consensus as that the Earth is indeed "global" and not a flat disk on a turtle's back! Well, the global  view (not precisely spherical... being a little "fatter" around the equator...like some of us middle aged humans)... as seen from space is now familiar to us all, as the "forever expanding universe" may some day be. Until then we can only stay humble and open to new views and information. So for now I'll stick to galactic scale for the new "bang-crunch" cycle.
We will all know within 10 years whether the global transformation of consciousness is an experience we can all verify or not.
Until then, let no one "wait for everyone else." Awakening is always (and only in one sense) available NOW!
