Steven Brick, aka Star Sparks
Yellow Galactic Human
1947-1999
Ancient mother, I hear you calling
Ancient mother, I hear your song
Ancient mother, I hear your laughter
Ancient mother, I feel your tears
(Traditional Native American song)
"Steven is no longer with us," The voice on the answering machine was that
of Jules Brick, 85-year old father of Steven Brick, aka Star Sparks,
Yellow Galactic Human. "Please call as soon as you can." That message
awaited us early Tuesday afternoon, Solar Moon 10, White Overtone Wind,
March 16, 1999 on the Gregorian Calendar. My breath was taken away. A
fleeting thought entered my head that Jules meant that Sparks had escaped
jail. But I knew that wasn't quite what he meant. I knew it meant that
Star Sparks was dead, but how? Stunned and shocked, we learned that Sparks
was found in his jail cell that morning. He had taken his life the night
before by cutting a tubular vein in his wrist. Why? What were the
circumstances?
Before my reason could piece it all together, my emotional body was swept
up in grief and mystery. Jules told me that for several days Steven had
spoken to his fellow inmates about galactic portals and the importance of
the day March 15 on the Mayan Calendar. It was on the night of that day
when he went to his jail-cell bed, that Star Sparks found his galactic
portal, and departed from what appeared to be a totally hopeless
situation. What was the significance of that day? Jules, wanted to know.
I knew all too well the significance of that day. March 15, 1999, on the
Gregorian calendar, Solar Jaguar Moon 9 on the Thirteen Moon Calendar, on
the Tzolkin or Mayan Calendar Dreamspell count, was Kin 121, Red
Self-existing Dragon. All that day I had been acutely aware that it had
been exactly 780 days, one Martian synodic cycle since my 58th birthday,
January 24th 1997, Resonant Moon 15.
On that day, Kin 121 ( = 112) over
two years ago, I had a profound mystical revelation that my self-realized
identity was that of a mysterious entity, Valum Votan, the Closer of the
Cycle. As Closer of the Cycle my purpose was now irrevocably defined as a
bringer of that knowledge necessary for the successful completion of the
Mayan Great Cycle which ends on the winter solstice, 2012, and the
launching of Timeship Earth 2013.
So it was on Monday, Solar Moon 9, Red Self-existing Dragon, exactly three
galactic spins or 780 days later, the Martian Synodic Cycle, that I
observed this date. I had not experienced a day of such high energy for
many, many years. It seemed that great floodgates of energy had burst
open. I sat at my desk during periods of time that day, colorizing a
graphic of the "Biosphere-Noosphere Transition." On my desk was a document
entitled "Time and Morality, a Correlation of Mayan-Babylonian
Chronological Cycles."
It was opened to a page that correlated the
thirteen Baktuns of the Great Cycle, BC 3113-AD 2012-13. Next to the date
BC 747, the beginning of the seventh Baktun, long count, 6.0.0.0.0, years
before, I had penned the glyph Red Self-existing Dragon. All day long I
glanced at that glyph, knowing that today it was also Red-Self-existing
Dragon.
I had placed that glyph next to the date BC 747, the beginning of the
seventh Baktun, long count, 6.0.0.0.0, because in the fractal Tzolkin
correlation, the seventh Baktun corresponds to the seventh or mystic
column of the Tzolkin. The top of the mystic column is Kin 121, Red
Self-Existing Dragon. The mystic column is so called because it is the
only sequence of 20 Kin that is not marked by a galactic activation
portal.
On the other hand, the mystical power of the seventh column is
that it is the whole sequence of 20 Kin that distinguishes the time-space
between the two major galactic activation cycles, the ten-day sequence
between Kin 106 and Kin 115 in the sixth column, and the ten-day sequence
between Kin 146 and Kin 155 of the eighth column. Kin 106 and Kin 146, 2
World-Bridger (key to the tomb of Pacal Votan) and 3 World-Bridger, in the
Dreamspell are signs that carry the Martian power of Death.
Since the days when I had written Earth Ascending, I knew the power of the
sequence of 20 Kin from Kin 121, 4 Dragon to Kin 140, 10 Sun. The sum of
the tones of the 20 Kin in the mystic column add up to 140, the same as
the Kin number of the last Kin in the mystic column. This number 140 (7 x
20 = 5 x 28) was the key number to the discovery of the Tomb of Pacal
Votan, as the "Earth Spirit Speaking Tube" is found exactly beneath the
central wall of the Temple of the Inscriptions which contains exactly 140
hieroglyphs.
It was my correlation of the 140 hieroglyphs of this wall
with the seventh mystic column of the Tzolkin and the seventh Baktun which
led to my decoding of the prophecy, Telektonon, Earth Spirit Speaking
Tube. And, in addition to marking my 58th birthday as the first of the 20
kin at the top of the column, my son Josh had been killed on the first day
of the 33rd Harmonic, in the very middle of the mystic column, Kin 129,
Red Crystal Moon, October 29th, 1987.
Yes, my son Josh-Joshua Maitreya Argelles. At the end of this momentous
day, Red Self-Existing Dragon, Solar Moon 9, March 15, 1999, after I had
written a press release entitled "Time and Morality," I received a phone
call. It was my daughter Tara, in Tucson, with an unusual request. She
wanted to read me an assignment she had just completed for her college
literature class. The assignment was to write about the ten most catalytic
minutes in her life. "Yes, of course," I said, "Read me your assignment."
In vivid, brilliant prose, Tara read to me a description of those fateful
ten minutes on the morning of October 29th, 1987, when, just as she was
preparing to go to school, and I was preparing to drive her, we answered a
knock at the door. It was a police officer and a "grief counselor," who
summarily informed us that her brother and my son, Josh, had been killed
the night before at 2:35 AM driving South on I-25 outside of Fort Collins,
Colorado. In stark language describing her response, Tara ended her
profound little essay with the words, "That was day that I met death."
Emotionally moved and proud of her for having been able to so beautifully
objectify the experience of that tragic moment, I eventually went to bed.
Tara's reading over the phone had completed an already powerful day for
me, Red Self-existing Dragon. Sometime in the night I awoke startled from
a dream. In the dream, I had just learned of the death of someone who had
piloted a plane deliberately into a brick wall. All I knew in the dream
was that this man was the father of two children. I assumed I had had the
dream because of Tara's recounting of Josh's death, and went back to
sleep.
The next morning, White Overtone Wind, my wife, Lloydine-Bolon Ik,
and I were both experiencing a certain disquietude. Upon going out for
some errands, she did something unexpected, and purchased the newspaper,
USA Today. The Saturday before, thinking about Star Sparks, we had read an
article in the Oregonian about the American Prison System. Yes, the prison
population had doubled in the last twelve years, and yes, the only other
country with as many prisoners in jail as the bastion of democracy, is
Russia.
Now in the USA Today for March 16, was an editorial entitled
"Packed Jailhouses," verifying our suspicions about Star Sparks being a
victim of the "Drug wars," the editorial noted that 23% of the American
jail population is incarcerated for non-violent drug related crimes,
crimes which are not even included in the FBI's list of declining crime
rates. Regarding the 23% drug offenders, the editorial concludes with the
words, "...there must be room for discretion to avoid wasting money on
lock'em-up overkill."
Driving back up the mountain pondering these words and thinking of Sparky,
I punched the car radio button. Suddenly it was the chorus from Pink
Floyd's "The Wall," "All we are is just another brick in the wall..."
Pulling up to the mail box was a letter from Jules Brick dated March 8,
somehow delayed in getting to us because now it was March 16.
Again Jules
wrote of how much poetry and art work Steven was doing in jail " as well
as instructing fellow prisoners in your philosophy including Mayan
calendar..." and his letter ended with a reference to an article on the
"inhumane prison complex in our country," citing an article about the many
prisons in the USA which appeared in the New York Times, Sunday, February
7, 1999. I commented to my wife, that we had to write to Star Sparks again
and send him the Crystal Day Report.
But it was too late. There was the news. "Steven is no longer with us."
Suddenly the words of the USA today editorial came ringing back,
"lock'em-up overkill." I asked Jules if he had received the Crystal Day
Report which I had faxed him last week. Yes, he had. He had sent it to the
judge as evidence on Steven's behalf. But, in Jules' words, the only thing
that really talks is MONEY. Without money, there was nothing that could be
done to help Star Sparks case.
The FBI wanted Steven to turn in his former
wife so that they could confiscate the Dreamspell College land. This
Steven could not do. I now understood that my dream of the night before
was Steven Brick, Star Sparks, Yellow Galactic Human, piloting himself
into the brick wall of justice. So Steven Brick-another Brick in the
Wall-in full knowledge of the timing of the mystic column decided to make
a Message out of his life.
"God promises to guide His messengers and prophets. No one kills. The time
comes and God takes." These are the words the brilliant Quranic scholar
Rashad Khalifa, uttered shortly before his assassins broke into his mosque
in Tucson, Arizona January 31, 1990. I think about these words as well as
I think about Star Sparks.
I knew Star Sparks since 1982 when my wife and
I first met him at the Karme Choling Buddhist meditation center in
Vermont. He introduced us to Dhyani Ywahoo, the Cherokee crystal worker
and spiritual elder. He had a strong link with Sun Bear as well, something
which we shared in common. It was Star Sparks who called us up in 1991 and
told us of Sun Bear's passing.
During our two pilgrimages of 1995, Star
Sparks was of great service in getting our message to the United Nations,
and, later with his son Zack, driving us through New York, Pennsylvania
and Maryland during our "Fall of America Tour." When I think about the
controversy he created over his relationship to psychedelic substances,
and which finally put him behind bars, I think about Jesus Christ's
response to the pharisees regarding the adulteress. "He who is without sin
shall cast the first stone."
I knew Sparky had fled from his arrest two years ago, and knowing the
American justice system, I didn't blame him. Last spring, after I had
returned from the Whole Earth Festival, where I had first met Sun Bear 28
years before, I knew I should try to find Star Sparks. So I called Jules,
and I was soon in touch with him again. Star Sparks was a tireless
promoter of the Dreamspell and the Thirteen Moon Calendar, something he
continued to do to his last days in jail. I knew that he embraced fully
all of the teachings that I have had the responsibility to communicate to
this world, and that he was as dedicated a follower of these teachings as
there was on this Earth. I am reminded of some verses in the Holy Quran
regarding Noah and his followers:
"The leader who disbelieved among his (Noah's) people said, 'We see that
you are no more than a human being like us, and we see that that the first
people to follow you are the worst among us...'" To which Noah replies,
"'O my people, I do not ask you for any money; my wage comes only from
God. I am not dismissing those who believed; they will meet their Lord and
He alone will judge them. I see that you are ignorant people.'"(Holy
Quran, Sura 11: 27-29)
Star Sparks is now in the paradise in which he believed. He left us in
full consciousness. His death was the only way that he could communicate
his final message to us: "Do not tolerate the 12:60 system; it is unjust
to the core. Stand up for your rights." President Clinton can pay $850,000
to Paula Jones, and Monica Lewinsky can make $2,000,000 for her
autobiography. The New York Stock Market was in and out of a record high
of 10,000 points the day that Star Sparks blood was gathered in a pool on
a prison floor.
Star Sparks lived and died for the Thirteen Moon Calendar
and the Dreamspell Vision. He is free now. He is being cleansed and
purified on the Other Side by the true spirit elders. The liberation of
his soul is the catalytic agent for me to complete the vision he believed
in: get rid of the Gregorian Calendar and establish a society that is the
true Rainbow Nation rooted in the calendar of thirteen moons and a time of
harmony and peace for all.
Do not doubt this, anyone of you who reads
this. Star Sparks death is a message of the seriousness of our purpose and
mission, and a reflection of the inhumane system that incarcerates and
punishes arbitrarily the have-nots while billionaires can buy any form of
justice they want. Do not be lulled to sleep now. The Beast of Seven Heads
is a phantom that will devour us all if we do not truly understand how
important it is to leave this and only 103 billion dollars on education.
Why must this continue? Where is the army of the righteous that will
vindicate all martyrs? Let us gather now regardless of who we are and
champion the great moment of liberation from the time of destruction held
in place by the Gregorian Calendar, this coming summer, July 25-26, 1999,
before it is too late for all of us!
In concluding this extraordinary message which I am sending to all the
world, I must confess that since the death of my son Josh, no death has
moved me more than the death of this one brilliant misunderstood human
being, Yellow Galactic Human. I champion his cause as he championed my
cause. I know why he chose to leave the day and moment he did, and I know
that he knows that I know this.
Please , those of you who read this,
understand the power of the common knowing that Star Sparks and I had
about his moment of departure. It is a Sign of the greater mystery and
power of the truth and vision it has been and still is my responsibility
to communicate. Do not confuse him with your prejudices and fears, nor do
the same to me.
Yes, I know, Star Sparks was a human and that he made
mistakes. He left behind two children, Zack, who is fifteen years old, and
India who is 22. And I feel a responsibility to these children, especially
to Zack who is still in the late formative stage of his childhood. But let
us not obscure the message that Star Sparks communicated to us through his
death: Get it together people! Unify the only way you can: In time,
through time, as time.
"Spirits flying in the sky
Thunder in the Ground
Fire of the Infinite
Love is all around
Wisdom of the Universe
Old Ones Teaching Me
Nature Spirit Singing in my heart
Opening
Calling me to you
Only you, Only you...."
