Gregg Braden Explains Earth's Ancient 5,125-Year Cycle - Change Starts NOW!

The speaker discusses the 5,125-year cycle and its significance to the current state of the world. He argues that we are living through a rare and precious moment in time, the ending of a cycle, which corresponds to a galactic alignment with the Milky Way's core. The speaker emphasizes that the outcome of this cycle will be determined by the choices we make, particularly in how we choose to treat each other.

Ancient Cycle

• 00:00:05 We are in the last years of a 5,125-year cycle that began around 3114 BC. Indigenous peoples have always known that this time of change would come, and our ancestors documented at least four, possibly five, previous cycles of change. Every 5,125 years, these changes have been perceived as catastrophic effects upon the planet.

Galactic Alignment

• 00:25:46 The December 21st, 2012 alignment is a result of Earth's 26,000-year wobble, which aligns our planet with the equator of the Milky Way galaxy. This alignment occurs as the sun emerges from the middle of the Milky Way, putting Earth in direct access to a powerful source of energy at the center of our galaxy.

World Ages

• 00:27:53 One wobble is divided into five segments of time called ‘Great World Ages,’ each about 5,125 years long. We are currently ending the last World Age of the present cycle. This cycle began in August 11th 3114 BC, and ends with the 2012 galactic alignment.

Global Extremes

• 00:13:57 Experts are identifying this time as a period of ‘extremes,’ marked by climate change, new diseases, food shortages, and growing conflicts. These extreme global conditions are triggering human extremes, which ultimately lead to personal extremes.

Fractal Time

• 00:52:50 Fractal time is a concept that suggests that cycles of time follow the same rhythms and laws of the universe, repeating in patterns. Each cycle begins with a ‘seed event,’ which sets into motion a pattern of energy that will repeat until it is changed. Each time a cycle ends, it opens a ‘choice point,’ a window of opportunity where our choices are more potent than ever.

Choice Points

• 01:08:15 The speaker uses a ‘time code calculator’ to illustrate the idea that 1929 was a seed date for global economic collapse, which will repeat in 2010. Similarly, 1941 was a seed date for surprise and attack on American soil, which repeated in 2001, and 1914 was a seed date for global war, which will repeat in 2011. These are trigger dates that represent choice points where we can make different choices.

Coherence

• 01:22:07 The speaker discusses the concept of ‘coherence’ as a way of being that can influence the world around us. Coherence is a heart-based state that is characterized by feelings of care, gratitude, and appreciation. The ‘Global Coherence Initiative’ is an effort to measure and increase coherence, with the goal of shifting global consciousness from instability to balance and cooperation.
