On the weekend of August 16th and 17th, 1987, the great "Harmonic Convergence" was
supposed to take place - at least, that is what José Arguelles told people. A
great many believed him - not simply prominent leaders of the New Age movement like
Shirley MacLaine, but also millions and millions of adherents.
What was the nature of this convergence? Well, according to Arguelles, at this time the Earth would start slipping out of its "time beam" and risk spinning off into space - only by the concerted, psychic efforts of the human race would it remain where it was supposed to be. This time would see a great increase in the experience of deja vu and UFO sightings. However, if enough people would simply gather at sacred places around the globe and concentrate enough, the New Age would begin, the Earth would remain safe and a new era of harmony and love would be inaugurated.
Did you notice when it happened?
