On August 28, 1998, John Mirehiel (pronounced Ma-RAY-he-el), astrologer, first identified a still-to-come moment of great astrological potential. While he was surfing the future, using a sophisticated software program that displayed planetary positions around a horoscope wheel, his attention was drawn to the patterns forming in early November of 2003. As he watched the shifting planets, they began to align themselves in a planetary pattern known to astrologers as The Grand Sextile, (star tetrahedron ) thought to be highly beneficial when it appears in the chart of an individual. In this instance, however, the horoscope Mirehiel was seeing was not one for an individual, but rather it was a global one, for Mother Earth herself. It was a unique astrological chart, representing a moment in time during which we can change the world we see, and ourselves, if we so choose.  It has been called the Harmonic Concordance of 2003. The context in which the Harmonic Concordance information is presented happens to arrive in the language of western, geocentric, tropical astrology.

 The chart for that moment is rife with astrological details encoded in this specific date. The metaphors to which those details refer describe a moment in which a great shift in conscious awareness may well take place.  It is very interesting to note, however, that this year (2003) and this day (November 8th or 9th depending on where you are located in relation to the International Date Line), if not this exact clock moment, have clearly been anticipated within the framework of other traditions as well. 

 The Shifting World of 2003

 In the years since the Harmonic Convergence of 1987, José Argüelles and his wife, Lloydine, have been campaigning for a calendar reform that would place us on a Thirteen-Moon Calendar, to complete the necessary realignment of humanity to the cycles naturally experienced by the Earth. They believe that this is necessary if we are to avoid crashing into "the wall" of the 2012 necrosphere.  Interestingly, they tell me that on November 8, 2003, we will have exactly one galactic spin cycle left (as reckoned in the Mayan Calendar) to complete the realignment of humanity to the cycles naturally experienced by Mother Earth. But noted Psychic Silvia Browne has said the 2012 date itself is erroneous; that confusion arising over western calendar systems has led to our belief that 2012 represents the last noted year of the Mayan Great Calendar when, according to her guides, 2003 is the correct corresponding Gregorian year.  Yet another commentator, posting on the "Troubled Times" website, says that the "significant event" calendar date line, supposedly encoded into the architecture of the Great Pyramid, terminates abruptly at the end of the year 2003. Even some Christian ministers claim that the prophecies of Daniel predict  that the "End Times" will arrive in 2003. 

 Peruvian shamans of the Q'ero line (a lineage shared by both the Inca and the Apaches), descendants of those who fled into the high Andes to escape the Spanish conquistadors, have told shaman-psychologist Dr. Alberto Villoldo about the occurrence of an important event in the late fall of 2003. At that time, which they say will mark the end of the current, and final, "Pachakuti" (a period of cleansing, when everything is turned upside down), it is said that a tear, or hole in the fabric of time will appear, and that those who have prepared f or it will be able to walk through it and into their luminous bodies.  Another author, "time researcher" Preston Nichols, who has studied time and consciousness as they are shaped by frequencies and magnetic fields, has pinpointed 2003 as the significant year at the other end of the "time wormhole" that was first opened by the Philadelphia Experiment in 1943.  And Starr Fuentes, master healer and teacher in the "curandera" tradition, who works with similar metaphors of frequencies as the causal factors behind physical manifestation, says that she was alerted to the importance of November 8, 2003, by her own teacher in 1964.  The affirmations and confirmations of the importance of this time by these and other well-known seers, mystics, psychics, and researchers, as well as those of many private individuals, clearly indicate the power of the Harmonic Concordance Moment to stand at the hub of a wide variety of converging timelines.

 Some Astrological Factors In linear time, the Harmonic Concordance Moment of November 8-9, 2003,is presently a future astronomical event that will occur at the precise moment when a Total Lunar Eclipse completes an astrologically beneficial configuration known as the Grand Sextile. Like other previously announced, spiritually significant times (most notably the Harmonic Convergence mentioned above), the Harmonic Concordance of 2003 will pull a great many people into a prayerful alignment, at one moment, with a focused intent of a higher spiritual purpose. In this case, the larger purpose is the  Ascension of Mother Earth and her awakened inhabitants.

 I have been a practicing astrologer and spiritual seeker for more than  30 years. As the discoverer of the chart, I have identified many  individual astrological details that are in play at the moment of the Concordance Eclipse. My experience tells me that those factors, when taken all together, confirm a promise of hope, joy, unity, and transformation.   Nor am I alone in this astrological assessment of the Harmonic  Concordance chart. Astrologers of all rank, from the world famous to novice, have seen, been inspired by, written of, and spoken about its enormous  potential. The spiritually inclined, in particular, are invariably impressed by the  power and purpose expressed in the chart. 

 The Spiritual Meaning

 Although this astrological chart is set for our future, the ultimate perfection of that ascended world exists right now.  Many metaphysical and spiritual traditions have long told us that Time  is the great illusion; that, in fact, all time "happens" in the simultaneous  NOW. If that is so, then this "future" moment of ultimate balance, power, and peace is available to us in the present. As such, it behooves us to claim that moment now. If we can accept the idea that this perfect world is co-existent with the somewhat different exterior "reality" that most of us see, then we must also accept the possibility that we can change that exterior projection. To acknowledge that we are the ones responsible for the appearance of that projection means that we must begin to understand what immense and limitless creative beings we are. Unfortunately, we often have trouble accepting that thought,  even though the avatars and exemplars throughout the ages have told us this  is so. One major block to this realization lies in our persistent belief in solid space and linear time. However, if you can conceive of how it might  feel to live as an Ascended Master in an Ascended World, you can step  through a hole in time, anytime, and bring that existence back into your daily experience, right then and there, here and now.

 The Harmonic Concordance chart portrays a multi-dimensional mandala in sacred geometry, offering a variety of these reminders through symbols that are significant in many different belief systems. It contains, for example,  a two-dimensional representation of the 8-pointed star that is called the Merkaba, the symbol that represents the Light Body form as seen by those  who can perceive on this level. Practitioners of the Merkaba meditation essentially visualize rolling their light bodies through time, from one present  moment into the next. This exercise allows them to stay in an eternally perfect present, while learning how to work with new energetic concepts of time.

 Conscious Intent and Change In The Seth Material, Seth, speaking through the late Jane Roberts, proposes that what he calls "temporal consciousness," or time, is essentially a dimension of action. This certainly seems to have been demonstrated by recent mass consciousness experiments on Art Bell's "Coast to Coast" radio show. The background to these experiments was research conducted by the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Institute, which has placed thirty-two data-recording instruments around the world to pick up changes in the Earth's field.

 On 9/11, a couple of hours before the first plane struck the World Trade Center, the Princeton group reported, there was a significant perturbation, or change, in this field. Inspired by this indication that a field of mass consciousness exists  which carries some sentience about the outcome of human events, Bell and his guest host, George Noory, issued specific requests to their vast numbers of radio listeners challenging them to act collectively in order to deliberately influence that field of consciousness to achieve a positive outcome.  At the time of this writing, the last such challenge issued was for the audience to visualize a resolution to the Washington "Sniper Crisis,"  such that the situation would be resolved quickly and no one else would be  hurt.  The two suspects who are now in custody were arrested in the early morning  hours immediately following this show. No one was injured in the capture.  This event is only the last in a long line of "coincidences" of many types that show us that the Concordance message is indeed an open invitation  to play in the field of temporal dimension. Why not do so in the most  inspired possible manner?  Which is precisely the point.

 The great promise of this Harmonic Concordance Moment is that its potential may be assessed at any moment. Quantum physicists speak of "non local" reality as comprising the basic structural "field" that supports and sustains all life. In this reality, time and space do not exist. This is the place from which we are able to  see the Universal Perfection in All That Is; and it is from this vantage point that we can step through the Concordance paradox and into a divine state of  existence, right now. Spirit will respond to any individual up-reach, at any time. This is the symbolism inherent in the interlocking triangles of the Star of  David pattern. It is therefore the great paradox of the Concordance Moment that if you wait until November 8, 2003, to experience it, you might well miss it completely!
