Review of Timewave 2013 from

New Dawn Magazine

by Jennifer Hoskins

This film is currently being screened and will be available on DVD later this year. For further information visit www.timewave2013.com.

This second film by Sharron Rose has been long awaited after the sensation her first film, 2012 the Odyssey – Armageddon Is Not What It Used To Be caused among New Age and metaphysical circles when released in 2006.

In it she explored the prophecies that have accumulated around the year 2012, the end date of the Mayan calendar and the date of the highly infrequent galactic alignment.

So two years later, what is new? Well, lots. It would be nearly impossible to remain unaware that our climate is changing drastically, or that earth changes seem to be occurring with more frequency and severity. Global economies and politics seem more critical and our access to resources is costing much more. That’s the bad news.

The good news is there exists a growing awareness among ordinary people that the time for change is upon us and we need to act now. There are many sources of information available on how to act constructively and there is help in becoming part of the solution for those who look.

Sharron contributes her own help in this film, which is a natural extension of her previous film, offering some incredible insights and practical suggestions for all who love our planet. This is definitely an adventure into the nature of time itself, with some of the world’s foremost metaphysicians, sages and experts lending their wisdom. Buckle yourself in for a breathtaking ride!

The pivot on which this film revolves is a ceremony with Q’ero elders in Peru performing a ceremony of creating despachos (sacrificial parcels) on behalf of the people and spirit of the planet. Sharron Rose is there participating and observing them. English interpretation is provided by Alberto Villoldo.

Interspersed with the stages of this quite long ceremony are interviews with powerful sages and experts, giving their prophecies and opinions upon the time in which we live, and may be living around 2012. Notable are Jose Arguelles, Jean Houston, Gregg Braden, John Major Jenkins, Whitley Strieber, Daniel Pinchbeck and Jay Weidner, as well as many others.

While all come to the screen from slightly different perspectives, the message is the same. Changes are happening and we need to assess both our inner and outer lives to take advantage of the opportunity that presents itself in this age of great change. Many of these very knowledgeable and wise people have had articles and books featured in previous issues of New Dawn magazine.

The cinematic style is in the usual crisp Sacred Mysteries way with time-lapse cloud segues and talking heads. The variation here is the insertion of the Q’ero ceremony which seems to add to the urgency of what other experts are saying.

Despite their remoteness from Western civilisation and news outlets, the Q’ero know exactly what is happening to the world. It does not surprise them due to their close connection to the earth, its spirit and their ancient prophecies regarding the end of the age.

Although in the first part of the film the experts list a distressing catalogue of things that are wrong with our planet today, the last part is ultimately hopeful and provides shining possibilities for the 2012 time and afterward.

I have noticed that a lot of my young friends often ask, “Are we all going to die in 2012?” My short answer is no. No doubt some people will pass from this world then as they do each and every day. It is the way of the world and there are six billion of us.

The experts in this film reinforce the notion of continual change, inner change and the amazing opportunities presented by the advent of the galactic alignment in December 2012. It is not the end of all time; it is the end of the Mayan calendar and the end of this age. There will be another. The message to me was prepare yourself and embrace it with love.

The underlying message in this film is becoming a common one that we’ve all heard before. In our lifetimes, it has become very apparent that we must act or perish. It’s up to us to fix what’s wrong with the environment in which we live. We can’t do it without the tools presented to us from a variety of sources, including this film.

I recommend this film as an antidote to the rather panicky offerings in the mainstream media. It’s a far more common sense approach.
