A Codex of Cycles, Myths, and the Compass of Gnosis
Introduction: The Wheel Turns Again
We live at a threshold moment. Civilizations falter, truths dissolve, and chaos spreads like wildfire. Yet beneath the surface, a deeper rhythm unfolds — a rhythm known to ancients, encoded in myth, whispered in dreams, and preserved in stone. This guide weaves together voices across time — Ra, the Yugas, the Mayan calendar, Hamlet’s Mill, Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, and modern uncoverers — into one braided foundation for seekers of the Great Turning.
Part I: The Cosmic Cycles
1. The Law of One – The 75,000-Year Master Cycle
Earth’s third-density cycle spans 75,000 years, divided into three 25,000-year sub-cycles.
At each turning: an opportunity for harvest, a graduation of souls into fourth density.
We are now at the end of this master cycle — the harvest cannot be delayed.
2. The Yugas – Ages of Rise and Decline
Traditional Hindu cosmology: vast cycles of millions of years.
Modern reinterpretation (Sri Yukteswar): shorter 24,000-year Yugas linked to precession.
Echo of Ra’s 25,000-year sub-cycle — humanity rising and falling with the stars.
3. The Mayan Calendar – The Long Count
Baktun cycles of 5,125 years; five equal ~25,625 years.
2012: not an apocalypse, but the end of a baktun and beginning of a new world age.
Mayan cosmology: cosmic rebirth, return of light.
4. Hamlet’s Mill – Myth as Astronomy
Santillana & von Dechend (1969): myths encode advanced knowledge of the precession of the equinoxes (~25,920 years).
The “mill” of Hamlet grinds out the ages; broken myths hide an intact cosmic map.
Confirms ancient awareness of the Great Year.
Part II: Myth and Archetype
5. Joseph Campbell – The Hero’s Journey as Cosmic Cycle
Myths worldwide follow a pattern: departure, initiation, return.
This mirrors the rise and fall of civilizations and the turning of cosmic ages.
Each seeker becomes the hero at the threshold, called to transformation.
6. Carl Jung – Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious
Archetypes (Hero, Shadow, Reaper, Self) are inner mirrors of outer cycles.
Psychological death and rebirth echo planetary harvests.
Individuation = personal gnosis within the cosmic turning.
Part III: The Stones and the Witnesses
7. Ancient Monuments as Timekeepers
Giza pyramids, Sphinx, Gobekli Tepe, Teotihuacan, Machu Picchu.
Alignments with stars, solstices, equinoxes.
Stones as silent witnesses to cycles too vast for memory.
8. Modern Uncoverers – The Keepers of Memory
Graham Hancock: lost civilizations and cataclysms.
Randall Carlson: geology of catastrophes, precessional alignments.
Jimmy Corsetti: popularizing the hidden patterns.
Their work: restoring the story denied by linear dogma.
Part IV: The Compass for the Seeker
9. Chaos as Catalyst
Breakdown is not failure; it is the labor of birth.
Opposition magnifies before unification — darkness tests the threshold.
The choice: to sink into despair or to embody gnosis.
10. The Inner Gnosis (Thomas, Ra, Jung)
“If you bring forth what is within you, what you have will save you.” — Gospel of Thomas.
Ra: harvest depends on orientation, not belief in dogma.
Jung: true Self emerges when shadow is integrated.
11. Living the Turning
To live authentically is to align with fourth-density vibration.
Compassion, unity, and truth-telling are the path.
Each seeker becomes a pillar, holding resonance for others.
Conclusion: The Great Wheel of Remembrance
The Great Turning is not the end, but the turning of the wheel. Cycles close, and cycles begin. The ancients encoded this truth in myth, monument, and symbol. Modern seekers rediscover it in dreams, research, and gnosis. This codex is not for proof, but for orientation — a compass for those who wish to remember, to stand firm in the storm, and to serve as midwives of a new age.
“When you make the two one… then you will enter the kingdom.” — Gospel of Thomas (Logion 22)
