 Q1. What is the meaning of year 2012 ?
Maybe this will be better for the title of your lecture, so that would you express in brief words?

   On the Road to 2012. All of humanity must face coming to the year 2012. This is the end point of the Mayan Great Cycle. This is when History as we know it will be completely over. It is for this reason that global events are at a climax, that the population has risen exponentially over the last century, and that the bisospheric deterioration has been so devastating. And it is also fro this reason that this period of time is known as the "Closing of the Cycle." To prepare we must return to living in the universal cycles of nature which will help us dramatically alter our life style, and so keep us from total destruction. This is the meaning of teh Great Calendar Change 2004-2012.

 Q2.About your two strategic trips- In Electric Moon to Peru,
Moscow and Rome. And in the spring to Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
What is your concrete strategies for these travels? What are you planning to do ?

   In preparation for the launching of the Great Calendar Change 2004-2012, we are making two strategic trips. The first to Peru, Moscow-St Petersburg and Rome has several objectives. In Peru to establish strong alliances with Indigenous, alternative ecological village and rainbow nation and peace caravan networks; in Moscow and St Petersburg we will be enlisting the support of scientific and cultural intelligentsia and in Rome we will we unify the European Calendar Change Movement (Planet Art Network), as well as give a press event announcing the Calendar Change, the new community, and an invitation to the Vatican to join in the New Time. The purpose of the Japan, Australia and New Zealand trip is to acknoledge a necessary shift in the global power balance from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the West to the East, and from the Northern to the Southern hemispheres. This will complete the reversal of history envisioned by the closing of the cycle.

 Q3.What do you mean about the day out of Time,2004 ?

   The Day out of Time 2004, will be a globally synchronized three day event - July 23-25. The third and final day, the day out of time is the 365th day of the Thirteen Moon/28-day calendar year. This "Planetary Peace and Culture Festival" will dramatically and artistically demonstrate to the world the popularity and power of the culture of the New Time that has now been forming on this planet for over the past ten years. It will give the world a positive vision of change that is historically unprecedented, making the rest of humanity more disposed to accept the calendar change as the only way to arrive at a truly safe and secure future where time is no longer money, but time is art. The Day Out of Time festival at Mt Fuji, will be one of the showcase events where art and nature will be synchronized to show the new way of harmony for all of humanity.
