The Great Year - How long is it?

The Great Year - How long is it?

​My exploration into the timing aspect of our Great Year follows. I was inspired to do so after having heard the recent substack by Cliff High titled, Time grammar. I appreciate and admire Cliff High’s dedication to “mining” the data to help us understand our world that much better.


Personally, I have been wondering why the duration of 24,000 years keeps coming up for the Precession of the Equinoxes - The Great Year - for a very long time. I think I know the reason….


As a co-facilitator of the Flower of Life information back in the 90s, I had to know these things, along with my partner and husband at the time. He focused on the sacred geometry and I, the hidden histories of world and humans. We both taught the activation of the Merkabah, which I now question, but that is another story.


Drunvalo Melchizedek taught the Flower of Life Workshops to thousands upon thousands of people worldwide during the early 1990s and well into the millennium. You can still find his books online. In his teachings, he states that the Precession of the Equinoxes is approximately 26,000 years due to the various wobbles, but that 25,922 years is most accurate. He then compares the Tibetans and Hindu perspective and the fact that they call the time periods, yugas of which he states are simply ages.


He specifically speaks of Yogananda’s guru, Sri Yukteswar and shows a diagram that he created in the 1800s. Drunvalo states that Sri Yukteswar did not know the true time duration of the equinoxes; he put it at 24,000 years. Long story very short, Dru explained that because Yukteswar wrote this information during the Kali Yuga, it was incorrect. 


Dru went on to apologize saying that he didn’t mean to put Sri Yukteswar down, but that during the Kali Yuga, we are in the darkest of time of the precession and are deeply asleep. He also said that most all of the writings during that time period were not to be trusted for this reason. Take this as you will. (See Diagrams)


Along with Cliff High’s recent summation on 8/21/24 of 25,477 years for the Great Year, I share another point of view; one whose teachings I also respect, but know it may "push the envelope" for many. That is not my concern. The information is. This last person agrees with the approximation of the number 26,000, but has an entirely different number for accuracy. Their words follow: There are 4 Planetary Rounds = 1 Planetary Cycle - 1 Astrological Age = 1 Aeon = 26,000 (26,566) years = precession of Earth’s axis of rotation with respect to inertial space.


In conclusion, we have 24,000, 25,477, 25,920 and 26,566. I find peace in the 26,000 year approximation, but time is a subject of interest to me and one I'm sure, will not end. The great thing is, we now put the old cycle behind us; that which ended December 21, 2012 and embark upon The Greatest of Adventures into what the ancient ones called, the Golden Age. Amazing concept to embrace… Let us dream on it and bring it alive.
