that effectively we were โ that the timing of the appearance of this or this anomaly in the cosmic space time stream, we've just been wrong about when it was going to happen. So in some sense, I mean it sounds cruel to say and I don't mean it to โ he persisted for years with the idea that we had succeeded. And he built the time wave around this idea. And he built a career around this.

And he was such a persuasive speaker that he got a lot of people to buy into it. And I was pretty much a skeptic at the time. I've always been kind of a skeptic of the time wave. I think the time wave... was a beautiful mathematical construction of the โ around the I Ching. It is not a picture of โ it's not a map of time. It doesn't have any predictive qualities.

It works very well as a calendar and if he left it at that, he would have been โ he would have gotten a lot of recognition from sinologists and scholars of the I Ching but not much else.

But by insisting that it predicted, you know, this eruption of this anomaly in the space-time and there were many dates along the way that were identified, you know, with like cometary passages and this sort of thing, kept revising the dates and eventually settled on this date of

December 21st, 2012, you know, which it didn't hurt that he arrived at that date independently by looking at all these maps, the 384-day cycles based on the I Ching. 384 days is 6 times 64, right? And the I Ching is all about sixes and multiples of sixes because of the hexagrams.

So, he settled on this date of December 21st, 2012, and then it came to his attention that that was actually a very key date in the Mayan calendar, the end of the 13th Bakhtun, in which another one of these world transitions was predicted in the Mayan calendars. Not the end of the world, but some people interpret it that way.

So he thought, well, that's affirmation that, you know, we're on the right track here. So we'll set that as the end date. And it should happen at that time. And, well, he didn't live to see it, you know. But there was a lot of excitement about that date because of the Mayans and largely because of the memes that Terrence had released into the memosphere.
