Hiya. I just found the following text:

Harmonic convergence is the supposed end of the materialistic world,
which occurred on August 16 and 17, 1987, according to interpretations
of astrological configurations, Native American myth, and Mesoamerican
calendars and prophecies.  The event, called the Harmonic Convergence,
was observed around the world in celebrations of dancing, chanting,
meditation, and yoga intended to foster peace and help usher in the
next phase in humankind's spiritual evolution.

The Harmonic Convergence was largely the idea of Jose Arguelles, an
American art historian who in 1983 connected astrological
configurations to chronological forecasts and to his research of Mayan
cosmology and calendar.  According to Arguelles the Maya, whose
classic period peaked between A.D. 435 and A.D. 800, were
"galactically informed" beings whose civilisation was founded on the
principle of harmonic resonance.  The Maya were connected to the
collective planetary mind and the Hunab Ku, the galactic core, which
broadcasts beams of energy.  The connection was made via the Kuxan
Suum, a vibratory pathway of etheric fibres that extends from the
solar plexus to other levels of the universe and to other dimensions.

Arguelles, who published his conclusions in /The Mayan Factor/ in
1987, observed that August 16 and 17, 1987, marked a turning point in
the Mayan calendar's great cycle, which lasts from 3113 B.C. to A.D.
2012, the year when the Earth will enter a "Galactic synchronisation
phase" and a new era of evolution.  At the turning point, if the
Earth's spiritual energy did not make a positive shift, a twenty-five-
year period of disasters and catastrophes would ensue, and the Earth
instead would come to an end in 2012.  Arguelles said the Maya left
clues as to how the Earth could synchronise whith the galaxy, and that
these clues would manifest during the Harmonic Convergence and UFO
sightings and channelings.

In apparent corroboration of the Maya timetable, the astrological
configuration, The Grand Trine, an alignment of nine planets in the
solaf system, occured August 16 and 17, 1987, for the first time in
23,412 years. At the same time, the Aztec calendar of thirteen cycles
of Heaven and nine cycles of Hell came to an end August 16.  According
to Aztec prophecies, the end of the ninth cycle of Hell would be
followed by the second coming of Quetzalcoatl.  The Hopi prophesised
that on August 16, 1987, 144,000 Sun Dance mystical teachers would
help awaken the rest of humankind to a spiritual awareness.  The same
date marked the end of a 28,600-year cycle in the Cheroke calendar;
the age that follows is called the Age of Flowers, a time when essense
of flowers will be recognised and used more as healing and spiritual
agents.

[I remember that day, watching the news, when they announced that the
planets had aligned - Paul]

To achieve a turning point, a minimum of 144,000 people had to convene
August 16 and 17 to foster positive, harmonic energy, Arguelles said.
Events were loosely organised at major power points, such as Mt.
Shasta, California, where one of the largest gatherings took place;
the Black Hills in South Dakota; Machu Pichu, Peru; Sedona, Arizona;
The Great Pyramids of Egypt; Mt. Fuji, Japan, and other sacred sites.
Those who could not go to a power point headed for the nearest
mountain, shore, or park.  Many took crystals to expose to the sunrise
for a recharging of energy.

No exact numbers were recorded of participants at major events, but
Harmonic Convergence coordinators estimated they easily surpassed the
144,000 required for success.  Arguelles estimated that between 100
million and 200 million people worldwide were made aware of the event
through the media.  The post-conference slogan, "When the Light hits,
the Dark gets tough," referred to a five-year period that was to
follow the Harmonic Convergence, during which were predicted major
Earth changes and social, economic, and political upheaval as
industrial civilisation collapsed. According to Arguelles the plunge
of the US stock market on October 19, 1987, was a fulfillment of this
prophecy.  Also during the five years, visits from extraterrestrials,
so called "galactic ambassadors," were to increase.

The message of the Harmonic Convergence was the need to "return to the
Earth," and to recognise that the Earth is a sentient, planetary
entity. The convergence was to release positive energy to facilitate
the creation of a human power grid, which Arguelles termed the "Earth
Light Network."

A smaller event, World Cooperation Day, took place on December 31,
1987. Arguelles reccommended that people continue to raise collective
energy by gathering in groups of thirteen at the solstices and
equinoxes and conducting rituals to tune into the Earth.  Thirteen is
a significant number in Maya cosmology; Arguelles states that the
entire Mayan story of science, myth, galactic measure, and divine
strategy can be told in a matrix of thirteen numbers and twenty
symbols.  The solstices and equinoxes are anchient pagan holidays tied
to agrarian cycles.
