Here we are, on the threshold of 2012. Heralded and trumpeted as the end all, be all, make or break of human civilization as we know it. Seriously? Did the ancient Maya obsess about sin and doomsday? I have to ask you to contemplate that question. If John Jenkins and Jose' Arguelles hadn't written about their research, would 2012 just be another year? The sin obsessed evangelical Christian culture would prefer to see 2012 as doomsday; using the apocalyptic vision of St. John in the Book of Revelations, and the old testament to promote their agenda. I would also argue the point with the New Age community and their prophecies of ascension into the 5th dimension; or those who think that a benevolent Alien race from the planet Niburu will save us all. Most certainly, there are some people making loads of money off the doomsday aspect of 2012. I would ask my readers to please be a little sceptical.
I agree, our world is frightening and chaotic. Instant news via the internet and social media, brings events from around the world to our attention within seconds. Making it all seem so immediate and personally implicated in our lives. Yes, there is so much wrong in the world. We have become a world-wide culture of me first selfishness; the one with the most toys and money wins the rat race; murdering the innocent for your religious beliefs.
Our challenge is to make a difference on a collective and personal level, and pay attention to what you are doing. What is the personal story that you dream and create in your mind. Do you think kindly of others? Do you pay a kindness forward? Do you recycle? Do you take time each day to lovingly connect with your innermost self and realize how truly fabulous you are?
We are on the threshold of a personal odyssey every moment of our lives. It is a constant meditation to pay attention, and consciously advance our personal and collective lives. Yes, you will catch yourself thinking mean thoughts, road raging, gossiping...it's okay, observe it, forgive yourself, and move on. That is your personal quest ~ walking every day in a conscious manner. Every morning begin your day by setting your intention. Ask or pray to Spirit, to help you in your quest to walk your talk, that your speech and actions are in alignment with peace and loving kindness. Are you ready to step across the threshold and create a new archetype for yourself? That is the evolutionary step we all must take. That is the quest for the Grail, which is found in all of our hearts.
Love ~ C
