2012
We hear so many things about what might happen, it can make you wonder if
any of it’s for real – or worth paying attention to.
My spirit journey into this reality began during the Harmonic Convergence of 1987, said to be the world’s first globally synchronized meditation, also tied into the Mayan calendar. I was 22 yrs old at the time and I travelled from my home in Colorado to an ancient vortex in the desert of New Mexico (Chaco Canyon) on one of my personal vision quests. I fasted & prayed on my quest for answers about life, spirit, god, my purpose and place in the world.
More questions were raised than answered in that time, but it was the beginning of a fantastic journey that has led me to sacred power spots all over the planet, including Mt Shasta, Hawaii, Africa and now Puerto Rico.
What’s Important
I am a practical man who does not believe in everything I hear. I try to walk the spirit path with my feet firmly rooted on the earth, in practical reality.
I know that the most important things in life are right in front of me, here and now. My family and loved ones, my home, my work, taking care of my daily responsibilities and paying the bills. Those are really the things that need to be taken care of before I can even begin to speculate about what may or may not happen at a future date.
What I’ve learned
The Mayan calendar, ending in 2012, has many interesting points, but it is only one piece of the puzzle. The other pieces are all of spiritual teachings and religions that have taught humanity about our spiritual reality over the past 5 or 6 thousand years of our most recent cycle of civilization. In addition to the major religions we all know about, there are many other widespread and profound teachings: Shamanism, Indigenous beliefs & practices, Tantra, Yoga and Ayurveda, Wicca, etc. Each and every religion and spiritual teaching that I have ever seen tries to teach us of a spiritual reality beyond this physical world. They also all speak of future events that will happen in our world. This is called prophecy. There are three points that are shared by all the teachings and religions I have seen:
-
We will reach a point where humanity
will be living so far out of balance with the spiritual & natural world, that it will actually make the Earth sick. The Hopi call this condition Koyaanisqatsi meaning “unbalanced life”. The symptoms will be a drastic change in weather patterns, an increase in natural disasters, increasing war and violence around the world, and many other things that are specified in great detail by the prophecies of each teaching. -
To restore balance and order in the world, there will be many more of these cataclysmic global events. This is called by different names by the different teachings: “The Great Purification,” “The Time of Trial on Earth,” “Judgement Day,” “The End of this Creation,” “The Quickening,” “The End of Time as We Know It,” “The Shift of the Ages,” “The Apocalypse” and “Armageddon”. While these terms may evoke feelings of fear and anxiety, we are taught that it is a necessary step in the spiritual evolution of our planet, and that those who are prepared for it spiritually, the transition will not be so difficult or frightening.
-
The purpose for all of this is to restore the balance and harmony of humanity with the natural and spiritual world, leading to the development of a divine, global civilization. What we learn from each & every religion and teaching is that there is a plan in place for all of humanity, our planet and each individual human being, including you. That plan is for our planet to evolve into a spiritual oasis, reflecting the divine qualities of Spirit in every part of the planet and our lives. What this might look like is a world united, working together for the betterment of all people. The end of all war, starvation, hunger, disease, poverty, ignorance and prejudice. A world where everyone has the ability & opportunity to pursue their dreams and manifest their genius. Yes, it will take time, but it is possible and according to all of the great & small teachings, it is our destiny.
How can we Prepare?
If you look at what really exists in so many teachings all over the world, for so many thousands of years, than take a good look at the world today, it’s hard to deny that something big is going on right now.
So if we accept that there is a possibility of even a fraction of the prophesied events, then it would be wise to prepare ones self and family. The real question is just how does one prepare for the Apocalypse?
While there are many ways to prepare, on many different levels, most fall under two broad categories: Physical & Spiritual Preparation.
Physically, is to be prepared to take care of your physical needs, in case you need to move quickly or survive a power outage or interruption of the food supply. This can be wise, although often associated negatively with militant survivalists. To me it seems more like common sense. If you see things getting worse quickly, then go ahead and stock up on what you and your loved ones need to survive. Or move to higher ground if you know a tsunami is coming.
Spiritually prepared is far more important. If you are aligned with the spiritual forces that are at the root of this global transformation, then it will not be so frightening. On the contrary, it is possible to connect to this spiritual frequency to such a degree that it will help us, individually and collectively, to breakthrough to the next level of human potential.
I’m talking about the possibility of living at a higher level physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Being clear, balanced, strong and healthy in all areas of our lives. Living life in harmony with the natural and spiritual laws of the universe. Can you imagine what that would like like for you? What it would feel like?
Then imagine if everyone were at that level.
What Next?
Ok, so lets say you see the writing on the wall. Maybe some of these 2012 theories resonate with a deep part of yourself, and you are beginning to accept that we are heading towards a monumental period of change that could be the best thing that ever happened to you or the world. What should you do?
First of all, there are no “shoulds”. Everyone is different and as such, we each have our own way of learning, growing and adapting. What works for one, may not work for another. I have a list of suggestions and things to try. If something works for you, go deeper into it, if not, move on. You don’t have to jump into the deep end of the pool, all at once. Take your time, relax and enjoy the process.
Remember the goal to surviving and thriving now is becoming aligned and harmonized with the spiritual forces that are at the root of this global transformation. That means going deeper into your connection to Spirit.
-
Pray – ask for help and guidance.
-
Meditate – be still, open your heart & mind and allow the answers to come to you.
-
Learn – Study the world, research the ancient prophecies. See it for yourself and make up your own mind.
-
Be of service – when you’re taking care of others, you will be taken care of automatically.
-
Get in shape – physical exercise is an important part of spiritual growth. The body is the temple.
-
Diet – Eat clean, healthy, simple foods and lots of clean, fresh water.
-
Breathe – deeply, fully and consciously.
If you do just a few of these things, just a little more than you currently do, you will see a change in your energy and your life. It is the nourishment that your spirit needs to give it a little more strength to shine through your eyes and brighten the world.
We will make it through 2012 , and will be better for it.
