You're listening to Mystery of 2012, a Sounds True Podcast.

A Sounds True Podcast. Episode number three, the mystery of 2012, Gene Houston on Jump Time.

This week I interviewed Gene Houston, one of the founders of the Human Potential Movement.

We discussed the nature of time and change in relation to 2012,

a date that she finds humorous yet important.

She sees this time as a critical juncture point for humanity, which she calls jump time,

and explains that throughout human history we have dealt with many such times, but that this one

may have the greatest importance of all.

This is the third interview

this is the third interview that I've done in this podcast series on 2012 and what

I've noticed is that I've started to become a little bit grumpy in fact I

started calling myself the 2012 grump. And you know in listening to

Eugene and considering your work, I clearly don't feel grumpy about the idea of

human evolution and the possibilities for us as individuals and society in the world.

I think what I feel a little grumpy about is people kind of in a naive way attaching to this date 2012 and all of the mythology and wishful thinking and

it's a undocumented scientific nonsense that's associated with 2012 and I'm wondering how you feel

about that and how you would both associate your work with 2012 and perhaps not

how you make those distinctions.

You know, as the daughter of a comedian I regarded as a comical date, a piece of absurdity that has become

attached to certain levels of the culture.

Also a myth is something that never was but is always happening,

you know.
