2012 Hype or Hope?  End of the world or new era? Get the facts and decide for yourself!

Maybe it’s wishful thinking. I would even settle for a self-fulfilling prophecy. But, above all, my life has been dedicated in one form or fashion to seeing transformation- in everything! I sought it in me, in business, in politics, and finally in religion. Maybe it’s about the times, maybe man can’t work outside of nature, the planet, the universe, or God. After all God is the one who brings and is the real transformation- the Transformer!

But what if this is the time- a time of getting ready and preparing for something that’s been on the radar screen forever. As Richard Tarnas said, “One need not be graced with prophetic insight to recognize that we are living in one of those rare ages, like the end of classical antiquity or the beginning of the modern era, that brings forth, through great stress and struggle, a genuinely fundamental transformation in the under-lying assumptions and principles of the cultural world view.”

If one can step back from the world for a sacred moment, we might hear something amazing.

We can’t keep going in the direction that we’re going for very much longer, without ending up where we are headed. And, where we’re headed doesn’t feel right, isn’t good, nor do we really want to continue on. There are so many uncertainties facing us now. On our own we’re not capable of solving the problems of racial bias, moral realativism, economic shame, and separation from our true self.

There is a spiritual dimension to life that goes deeper than we know.

Something is dying, and we must let it happen because something is about to be born. How, when, where who could possibly know. But this I do believe. We have been given all the resources that are needed. The cure is in our spirits. We’re not standing outside looking in. We’re IN and have BEEN for all of eternity. Waking up to where we ARE and who we BE (I know, bad English) is what’s needful.

We need deeper insight to the unconscious forces that await our engagement.

I don’t know if 2012 has any spiritual significance. I totally believe it has astrological, scientific, and physical consequences for our world. But I do know that the future, and not that many years into the futrure, has to be different than what we are now experiencing. We were not created for the life we’re now living. How much longer will we keep pretending?

How much longer indeed.

It’s time for a great transformation!
