2012 Part three--this window of time

Continuing the subject of recent articles regarding the approach of 2012 and having reviewed the context and background, the next logical inquiry would be as to the implications; what does it mean, what can we do?

First, if we essentially accept the premise we are in a window of time that will soon culminate in a collapse of the old ways and rise of new ones, we can transition to the next step...preparation. How one prepares for the changes is contingent on the perception of what each individual considers likely outcomes as 2012 approaches. A second consideration is the present context; that is, the energetic environment we are now operating in. To review, let us make some necessary assumptions. While not everyone will agree with these entirely, perhaps skeptics will allow these remain theoretic possibilities.

I submit we are in a window of time of increased energy. In the near future great changes will occur that have been prophesized through time and across many cultures. The exact nature of these changes is yet unknown. Science has legitimized and substantiated many of the ancient beliefs. We have the power individually and collectively to affect, in some ways, both the outcome of the grand universe and our personal universe.

While these have been mentioned in these pages before, there are two important Native American phases relevant here. The first is the well-known Lakota reality, mitakuye oyasin (we are all related). The second is the somewhat complex Navajo phrase, sa’a naghai, bik’e hozho’ (may your personal, subjective universe exist and act as it should and in harmony with the Grand Universe).

With all of this as the backdrop, consider now the current situation. As mentioned previously, we are in a window of increased energy where time itself seems to be speeding up. Think of your own perceptions. Have you not felt time is flying by in a manner it never has before? As we approach 2012 the perception of (and perhaps even the reality of) time is moving faster and faster. If this is so, what are the implications? Since these conditions are unprecedented in the human experience it is difficult to know for sure but it does seem one legitimate aspect is increased earth energy.

If the energy of the earth (everything from earth’s electromagnetic energy to the power of human thought) is increasing, and if we accept on some level thought creates reality, whatever we think, the emotion (fear versus love) behind these thoughts and the resulting actions taken in conjunction with the thoughts will also have increased power. If we live in fear (and the associated feelings of anger, hate, jealousy, contempt, etc.) the thoughts and actions associated with this negativity will undoubtedly have increased power as well. Conversely, if we operate with the love energy (and the associated feelings of compassion, caring, charity, etc.) fueling our thoughts and actions, the result will be even more powerful on the positive side.

A few years ago I took part in a coordinated meditative effort organized by the authors of the Celestine Prophecy. The authors arranged a mass meditation where people around the world called in and remained on the line while the authors conducted the simultaneous group meditation. They estimated there were 300 to 400 people involved. We were instructed to send love and light to the Middle East (a region in need of these energies). Ten days later an unprecedented accord was signed by leaders in that region. Did we cause this to happen? Maybe, maybe not but I do believe we facilitated the event. The point is we can make a difference.

Collective thought can have great power. Ritual and meditation can help us center and direct these thoughts. As we affect our personal lives we will also influence the lives of others and indeed, the earth itself. As mentioned previously, studies conducted at Princeton and MIT demonstrated how an individual’s thought and emotion, while influencing and changing the energy of the heart field (a real electromagnetic energy generated by a person’s heart that can be measured) will simultaneously stimulate and change the electromagnetic energy of the earth the subject is standing on. This is profound and inspiring. As Spider teaches, all things are connected on an infinite web of existence.
