June 5, 2012
I spent the morning and early afternoon performing necessary chores around the house. Around 2:00 p.m., I finally turned my attention back to my journey. After I gathered my things, I headed to Papago Park, which was located just 4.5 miles from where I lived and 2.5 miles from the Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park, where my journey began the year before. (See introduction)
I drove into the park as the planet Venus began her transit across the face of the Sun, an event known to some people as the “Hole-in-the-Sun.” Since Papago Park had a site named, “Hole-in-the-Rock” I figured this location would complement the “Hole-in-the-Sun” event. Hole-in-the-Rock located just north of the 33°27′ Parallel.

I wondered if this was a sacred ceremonial site for the Hohokam.
Once I reached the top of Hole-in-the-Rock, I noticed my van parked in the parking lot down below.
I began to look around for a place to meditate, and that’s when I noticed three rough-looking teenagers making their way up the trailhead. Since there was no one else in the park, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable and decided to leave. The feeling was so overwhelming that I walked around the mountain’s opposite side to avoid running into these teenagers.
As I walked back to my van, I noticed a white pyramid on top of a hill in the distance.
Out of pure curiosity, I hiked to the top of the hill to take a closer look at the pyramid.
That’s when I discovered it was an entombment for George W. P. Hunt, Arizona’s first, second, third, sixth, seventh, eighth, and tenth Governors.
I took the following photograph with the Sun and Venus directly behind me.
Since there was no shade and the temperature was over 100 degrees, I went back down to the bottom of the hill to meditate. Between 3:33 and 3:53 p.m., I invoked the “Sexual Energy” angel.
When I read “Each time a male and female unite in love…” in The 72 Names of God book, I thought that perhaps Kabbalah was a bit homophobic, but I knew more than anything else that Kabbalah was non-judgmental.
In reality, it wasn’t my intention to defend Kabbalah, or being gay, or any other spiritual practice for that matter. I was led to The 72 Names of God meditations for unknown reasons, and I felt it my soul’s duty and purpose to perform these meditations without judgment, a clear understanding, or any expectations.
Once the meditation was over, I walked out into the sunlight and took a photo of the Sun and Venus. Although my camera was not equipped to capture Venus’s transit across the face of the Sun, I was happy with the photograph that materialized. Just like the image taken of the hawk from the day before, I could feel an angelic presence.
Sexual Energy & Venus Transits The Sun
Once my meditation was over, I returned to my van and passed three ducks swimming in a nearby pond. I learned that Ducks bring the following message:
- being one with water,
- being seers,
- understanding feelings and emotions,
- and being graceful.
Once I left Papago Park, I returned home to my daily chores.
The Internet was ripe with doomsday interpretations of what this transit meant to humans on planet Earth. As I watched various YouTube videos and read different blogs on the subject, I got the feeling that most people who created these videos and wrote these blogs desperately wanted a significant catastrophe. It was as if they had already established these events in their minds and were waiting for these negative thoughts to play out globally.
This mass consciousness mindset was more dangerous for me than the transit itself. Were people so miserable in their own lives that they had to create destruction and doom for the entire planet to achieve some personal fulfillment? At times, I was guilty of doing this as well and had to continually remind myself to clean up my thoughts and intentions.
For the Mayans, along with the Annular Solar Eclipse on May 20, 2012, and the full moon on June 4, 2012, Venus transiting the Sun on June 6, 2012, was the gateway to the ending of an age that would take place on or near December 21, 2012.
For me, the meaning was straightforward. The Sun was a little star that sustained life on an even smaller Earth, offering heat, warmth, and light. Venus was close to this source of light and symbolized feminine love, pure and simple; perhaps this transit was reminding us that no matter what plays out on a global scale if we carry Unconditional Love in our hearts for ourselves and others, everything will be just fine.
For my journey and dedication to the full moon and Venus transiting the Sun, I named this day after another star in the constellation of Orion. I gave it the name Alnilam.
“Alnilam (Epsilon Orionis, ε Orionis) is a large blue supergiant star in the constellation of Orion. It is the 30th brightest star in the sky (the 4th brightest in Orion) and is a blue-white supergiant. Alnilam is the middle star in Orion’s Belt. Since 1943, the spectrum of this star has served as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified. It is also one of the 57 stars used in celestial navigation. It is at its highest point in the sky around midnight on December 15. Within the next million years, this star may turn into a red supergiant and explode as a supernova.”
By the end of the day, I had completed all of my chores. I went to bed around 11:00 PM and was very satisfied.
