THE END TIMES—2012 Predictions and beyond

There is talk these days about the ‘end times,’ a long time, enduring discussion about those looking out upon the world of gloom and doom.  It’s every where if you look there.

The magnetic polar shift, the speeding up of the earth’s spinning axis, the change in our gravity field, the tectonic  plate shifts, the magnetic line changes, the weather patterns creating hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and the like—all signs that something is amiss.

As such, human beings are prone to predictions, calculations, estimates, and forecasts in the interest of minimizing risk and maximizing gain. I seek them myself. We all seek safety, life sustaining precautions and a path of decision making that maintains our well being.  The I-Ching, ancient book of Change hexagram, SHOCK, describes a possibility.  SHOCK can happen anytime to anyone.  When it pervades, the goal, as described in the I-Ching, is to sustain SHOCK after SHOCK with the crystal chalice still in hand, laughing.

Harm, fear, death, loss—all elements of life’s experience we seek to avoid, defer, and escape altogether. No one can. These are the calls to our mastery that we are here to face with courage, determination, equanimity, calm, poise, strength, love and wisdom. These qualities are what the human being gains that endure through all time. We are so grateful for these opportunities to become ourselves and to show our true magnificence to ourselves and with one another. Have you noticed who we are at our best amidst our most trying circumstance? Being human is divinely inspired. I invite us to choose into what inspires us and away from our despair and overwhelm. I speak to myself.

Those who see the END TIME call all of us to become our true selves now. If life as you know ends tomorrow how has it been for you? Did you do what you wanted to do, love what you wanted to love, become the one you truly are meant to be?  Have you demonstrated mastery or just complained about how life is different than your hopes and expectations? Choose again, the END TIMES call to us!

Death and its accompanying rebirth are everywhere in our midst. We practice everyday with these concepts of eternity. Think back about the last time…the last time of anything you valued.  That was a death and you moved on into a new experience, that was a birth, a resurrection of sorts into new life.  We already well know how to die and how to be born again. Do it now, as if in the face of death.  Then you are really living.

What would it be like for you if there was no electricity, no fuel, no grocery store full of food? How would it be for you if water didn’t come from a faucet and waste didn’t flush away through a toilet? What kind of housing would be secure or required when building materials currently used are unavailable? Such reflections call us all to more self sustaining, natural life style that demonstrates a will to live and an independent approach that is more environmentally and globally sound. What economy would emerge in such circumstance? What health care is most viable? What mode of travel and communication could we create? How would we educate our children? How would we choose to live with our neighbours in community with others? These are marvelous reflections for innovation, creativity and rebirth.  We are on the cusp of magnificence with such thinking as it shifts our current paradigm, renders it obsolete and plunges us into a vast territory of new possibility and exploration. How could it really be if we created the life of our dearest dreams for all?

Why wait another minute until the END TIMES? Let our creations begin now, a stream of renewal and possibility never before seen on earth and we are it, creating together what is truly possible. We have seen it, we know it, now let’s simply become it. Step by step, day by day, we are the ones we are anew.
