Alan Douglas , Death

Record producer
Rest in peace #AlanDouglas Passed June 7, 2014 at the age of 82 in Paris, France. Alan Douglas, a record producer best known for his sometimes controversial work with Jimi Hendrix’s unreleased recordings following the guitarist’s death, died June 7 at his home in Paris of complications from a fall. Douglas was 82. Originally from Boston, Douglas, who was born July 20, 1931, met Hendrix in 1969 and began discussions with the rock great to pair him with Miles Davis and other jazz luminaries. Hendrix died the following year without those plans coming to fruition, and Douglas subsequently secured the rights to Hendrix’s unreleased and often unfinished recordings. On several releases, Douglas took the raw Hendrix guitar and vocal tracks and had studio musicians accompany them, a move that did not sit well with many Hendrix acolytes or with Hendrix’s survivors. When the rights to the Hendrix estate were turned over to the artist’s father in a 1995 court decision, Douglas’ involvement with the catalog ceased. By the time he had met Jimi Hendrix, Alan Douglas had already built a solid reputation as a producer of top jazz artists. As the head of United Artists Records’ jazz division beginning in 1962, he produced Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers and others. He also recorded Kenny Dorham, Betty Carter, Herbie Mann, and Oliver Nelson, and was responsible for teaming Duke Ellington with Charles Mingus and Max Roach for the now-classic Money Jungle album, and for putting Jim Hall and Bill Evans together for their Undercurrents release. Douglas also recorded guitarist John McLaughlin, the pre-rap group the Last Poets and firebrand comic Lenny Bruce. After leaving United Artists he launched his own label, Douglas Records. Later in his life, Douglas released DVDs of live performances by B.B. King, Parliament-Funkadelic, Celia Cruz and others.

The 52 year Destiny Path

Mapping your 52 year Destiny Path is easy on SSP! Just add a date in our decoder and scroll down to see your destiny path from birth to age 104. Starting with your galactic signature at age 0, the destiny path follows a cycle that rotates through the 4 solar seals of your earth family. It also increases by one tone every year following the 13 tones. On your 52nd birthday you return to your galactic signature. At this point the cycle starts all over and it can be looked at as a second childhood!

About Space Station Plaza -

SSP is your galactic portal to alignment with natural cycles and rythms calculated using the Dreamspell calendar. Conversion to "kin" happens automatically on SpaceStationPlaza, illuminating the relationships you have to Famous People and other kin (passengers) on the Tzolk'in (the 260-day Calendar).

Conceived originally in 2000 by visionary Seraphim Arkis, Kin 154, WHITE SPECTRAL WIZARD of Asheville, NC. In February 2009, Arkis conveyed the vision of SpaceStationPlaza.com to PHP programmer, Anthony Fogleman, who took an interest, and decided to help birth a revolutionary new type of website. The first public version of SSP was launched on April 9th, 2009, after exiting a galactic portal.

We are busy working to provide tools to help you align with others using Sacred Cosmology. There's much more to come as we work to make SSP a popular social utility.

We rely on support from passengers, CREW and visionaries. Together we contribute to the Galactic Community.

The Dreamspell Calendar -
In 1987, using ancient Mayan glyphs, Dr. Jose Arguelles created the Dreamspell calendar based on 13 Moons of 28 days. The calendar harmonizes with natural cycles of the sun, moon, earth and planets. It incorporates the 260 day count known as the Tzolk'in. The calendar has been used widely since the Harmonic Convergence August 16 - August 17, 1987.
The Mayan prophecies are closely linked to calendars and astronomy, and are complex, exacting and impressively accurate. The Harmonic Convergence was part of the fulfillment of the ancient Mayan prophecy of the 13 Heavens of decreasing choice and the 9 Hells of increasing doom. This event marked the opening of a gate leading to the final 25 years of the Mayan Great Cycle of 13 Baktuns (BC 3113 - AD 2012). Humanity is now at the end of the ninth hell cycle, as the prophecy indicates, after which, the "Lord of the Dawn" would return. This period is described as a time not only of new thinking, but of quantum shift and a new paradigm for humanity.
In 1773, Don Ramon de Ordoñez y Aguilar discovered the ruins of an ancient city, Palenque, in the remote jungles of Central America. Excavations revealed pyramids, temples and palaces. Since then, explorers, scholars and writers have worked to learn more about the mysterious inhabitants who abandoned their city in 830 AD.

Like other cultures of Mesoamerica, the Maya used a 260-day calendar, referred to as the Tzolk'in. The length of this calendar coincides with the average duration of human gestation. Its purpose is to provide guidance in life through a consideration of the combined aspects of the 20 named days and 13 numbers, and to indicate the days on which sacrifice at certain 'number shrines' might lead to desired results. The days were commonly deified and invoked as 'Lordships'. The general Yucatec word for 'priest' (ah k'in) referred to the counting of the days. Within the social group of the priests at court, it was customary to pass the 'burden' of the time-units on from one divine 'number bearer' to the next.

What is often called Maya 'astronomy' could also be called astrology, since it was a priestly science resting on the assumption of a correspondence between earthly events and the movements of heavenly bodies and constellations.

In Classic Maya texts, certain glyphs are read as references to the soul and 'co-essences', such as animals or other natural phenomena (comets, lightning, etc.) linked and protected the individual.

The Maya believed their modern age, marked by the 26,000-year (360 days/yr) cycle of our solar system around the Pleiades star cluster, had begun on 12 August, 3114, BC and was to end on 21st of December, 2012 followed by regeneration of earth and a time of galactic harmony.

At SpaceStationPlaza we expect good things in 2013.
