HOW TO SURVIVE 2012 AND THE YEARS LEADING UP TO IT
| HOW TO SURVIVE 2012 AND THE YEARS LEADING UP TO IT By Laurence Galian "When you see your likeness you rejoice, but when you see your images which came into existence before you, which neither die, nor are made manifest, how much will you bear? ~ Jesus, The Gospel of Thomas Known as Time's Special Witness, 7th century Mayan prophet Pacal Votan left a universal message for future generations of an evolving Earth. Pacal Votan's prophetic call is alerting present-day humanity that our biological process is transforming, approaching the culmination of a 26,000 year evolutionary program. This grand cycle of evolution will culminate winter solstice, December 21, 2012 AD. ~ The Living Prophecy What is all this hoopla around the year 2012? People are saying all sorts of things when this date 2012 is spoken: some say that it is the end of the world, some snicker; some say it is all new age nonsense; some say that we are going to experience war, famine, disease on a scale never before experienced, some say that the Earth’s magnetic field is weakening, some say that a huge solar flare is going to reach out from the sun and lick our planet with its fiery tongue. "The Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same theme can be found reflected in the prophecies of many other Native American visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear," writes Joseph Robert Jochmans. What is crucial in understanding this emphasis on the year 2012 is where planet Earth will be in orbit at that time (our location in relation to the center of the galaxy). Our planet wobbles. Did you know that? The invisible axis that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole of our earth wobbles like a spinning top. However, it is a very slow wobble. As the earth rotates on its axis, so too does the axis of the earth very slowly wobble. This is a scientific fact that no scientist disputes. It takes approximately 25, 626 years for the Earth to complete one “wobble”. This is known as the “Precession of the Equinox”. Therefore, December 21, 2012, is not just a time of alignment with the center of the galaxy, but it is the completion of this 25,626-year cycle. This is the great secret known to all the wise sages of antiquity. The ancients left us clues which help to get through this time. Each wobble is divided into 5 segments, each about 5,125 years in length. We are now in the 5th Cycle. December 21, 2012 is known in various cultures as: The Shift of the Ages The End of Days The Great World Age The Great Cycle The Age of Revealing The present cycle began in 3114 B.C.E. and ends on December 21, 2012 with a rare astronomical alignment. It is called “The Galactic Alignment”. The Galactic Alignment is the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator. This alignment occurs as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. We are already beginning to feel the energies from this alignment. Andrew Collins informs us in 2012, “The sun will emerge at this time at a point that aligns with the visual position of galactic centre, something which some modern researchers feel the Maya were aware of somehow. In ancient Mexican cosmology, the sun was seen as an egg that comes from a crack which opens in a cosmic mountain, and this can be equated with the Milky Way's Great Rift, the dark region caused by interstellar dust clouds where new stars are born.” Over the course of 25,626 years the trajectory of Earth takes us above and then below the plane of Galactic Centre and therefore the gravitational energy influence of the super-massive energies at its centre, in a long but precise oscillation that can be observed and measured as the Maya indeed did. This was also described by Plato and is therefore known as the "Platonic year". The last time people experienced the close of a “cycle” was 174 years before the Exodus from Egypt. Our ancestors have been preparing for this time for 5,000 years. We are now entering the close of what is known as a “Great Cycle”. We are the last generation in 5,000 years to experience the close of a Great Cycle. Physicists have found evidence for the highest energy photons every detected to be emanating from the Milky Way’s equator. Science Daily reported, “Physicists at nearly a dozen research institutions, including New York University, have discovered evidence for very high energy gamma rays emitting from the Milky Way, marking the highest energies ever detected from the galactic equator. Their findings, published in the December 16 issue of the Physical Review of Letters, were obtained using the Milagro Gamma Ray Observatory, a new detector located near Los Alamos, N.M., that allows monitoring of the northern sky on a 24-hour, 7-day-per-week basis.” AMP in Washington released the following: “A spy satellite image of Antarctica reveals an ‘anomaly’ two miles beneath the ice that could be a man-made structure, according to Congressional investigators who are demanding release of the image from the Pentagon. The explosive revelation about the anomaly, located at the epicenter of recent seismic activity in East Antarctica, prompted an immediate denial from the Defense Department and feverish speculation among members of the international intelligence and archaeological communities. ‘If it's something the U.S. military has constructed down there, then they're violating the international Antarctic Treaty,’ said an aide to Nicole Fontaine, the European Parliament's French president who in the past has accused the U.S. of spying on European citizens. ‘If not, then it's something that's at least 12,000 years old, which is how long ice has covered Antarctica. That would make it the oldest man-made structure on the planet. The Pentagon should heed the calls of Congress and release whatever it is hiding.’" What first must be remembered is that our expectations, our emotions and our hidden psychological processes, all influence what happens in this world. Let us look at expectations: images we surround ourselves with play a big role in our lives. Do you surround yourself with images (from watching television news shows, reading newspapers, YouTube videos, and other media) that show the human being as depraved, criminal, and morally weak? The Bible, Qur’an, and other sacred texts, tell us that many highly advanced civilizations from antiquity collapsed and disappeared completely. Chellis Glendinning writes, “Our society is made up of vast numbers of traumatized individuals, and our culture has come into being through a universally traumatizing process. The outcome - today’s technological civilization with its massive psychopathologies and unending ecological disasters - is a collective reflection of the traumatized personality.” Richard Heinberg informs us, “During the last 120,000 years (encompassing the most recent Ice Age) there have been roughly 20 sudden and drastic cooling and warming episodes, averaging one every 6000 years. The end of the last Ice Age occurred about 11,500 years ago; not long afterward, humans in some areas began the process of domestication. Like the beginnings and endings of the Ice Ages that preceded it, the close of the most recent glacial period came suddenly, and it brought devastation in its wake. Sea levels rose by some 300 feet over the course of centuries. Hundreds of species were extinguished, including (in America alone) the camel, mastodon, mammoth, ground sloth, giant peccary and giant beaver, dire wolf, short-faced bear, mountain deer, and saber-toothed cat. Some paleontologists believe that human beings hastened a few of these extinctions through over-hunting. “Also, the Earth’s magnetic field has apparently reversed its polarity some 20 times during the past 4 million years-most recently, about 12,500 years ago in the so-called Gothenburg flip. There seems to be some correlation between extinction episodes, climate change, and geomagnetic reversals. “Clearly, the Earth was not a quiet place during the time Homo sapiens was evolving. But what about the period when civilization was emerging? More recent global climate spikes (not as severe as the ones 40,000 and 11,500 years ago) occurred at around 8000 B.C.E., 6000 B.C.E., 3100, B.C.E., and 1100 B.C.E. A climatological fluctuation known as the Little Ice Age lasted from 1200 to 1800 C.E., and was made even worse for parts of that period by volcanic eruptions that clouded the atmosphere and lowered temperatures worldwide for years at a time (1783 was the year of the “dry fog,” while 1816 was known as “the year without a summer”). Localized floods, earthquakes, violent storms, and volcanic eruptions known to have occurred during the past 10,000 years are far too numerous to list here, and it seems likely that archaeologists and geologists have discovered and interpreted evidence of only a fraction of such disasters that actually took place.” Clearly, our human ancestors were traumatized over and over again by various natural disasters. What makes today different from what our ancestors faced? In today’s world, 6.2 billion people are being faced with many of the past challenges but they are all happening at the same time: floods, epidemics, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, droughts, and so forth. “In most cases of individual neurosis, psychoanalysts look for an early trauma, or emotional shock, in the life of the patient-usually a forgotten incident and often one from the pre-verbal period of life. Accordingly, it seems reasonable for the ethnoanalyst to attempt the same thing, difficult though it obviously is for anyone to find evidence for collective prehistoric emotional experiences,” writes Roger W. Wescott in The Divine Animal. Now that you are aware of what is going to occur on or approximately 2012, it is now time to prepare yourself for the events preceding this "quantum leap" of cosmic energies. These next three years may be extremely difficult for all of humanity. I suggest that any and everything might happen during this period of time. How should we prepare? That is the crucial question. Preparation begins through learning from our mistakes. Gregg Braden states, “Everything is asking us to take a look . . . we’re in a time of graceful urgency.” Instead of getting involved in the political arena, a fake game of dialectics, move into a different plane of reality. The organizations that rule the world want to erase our spirit of rebellion. These organizations seek to enforce conformity, violence, and the subjugation of the true spirit of rebellion. Robert C. Byrd reminds us that, "In Rome . . . no one complained when Caligula made his horse emperor.” Do not get involved in the dualities that the powers-that- be want to get us involved in. Run from priests and potentates. See what is really going on; witness the big picture. However, our rebellion is not through “sticks n’ stones” or weapons. Let us make that clear. Our rebellion is a rebellion of consciousness. We are declaring a revolution of awareness. That is how we can truly effect change in our world. Jung wrote, "People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to stop from facing their souls." It is absolutely necessary in order for us to survive as a civilization to face what is hidden within ourselves. Jung goes on to inform us, “The gigantic catastrophes which threaten us today are not elemental happenings of a physical or biological order, but are psychic events. To a quite terrifying degree, we are threatened by wars and revolutions which are nothing other than psychic epidemics. At any moment, several millions of human beings may be smitten with a new madness, and then we shall have another world war or devastating revolution. Instead of being at the mercy of wild beasts, earthquakes, landslides and inundations, modern man is battered by the elemental forces of his own psyche." We must look “inside” in order to solve the problems of “outside”. To offset the possible negative planetary and cosmic effects of 2012, to amplify the positive effects, and to neutralize the efforts of the powers which seek to enslave humanity, we must become true human beings. Konrad Lorenz said with tongue in cheek, “Man is the missing link between apes and human beings.” We must not have a “God” who is only a projection of our wounded animus. We must let go of the “God in the Sky” and embrace the “God in Our Hearts”. We cry as we think back at the primitive beliefs and religious practices of our human ancestors throughout time. For example let us take our own history here in the United States. We weep as we think of how it was believed at one time that it was perfectly acceptable to own black slaves, as (it was thought and taught) black people were not human, and later that black people were inferior genetically to Caucasian people. We shed tears as we think of how it was believe that it was fine to kill American Indians and steal the land that they knew could only belong to the Creator. It is amazing to think how otherwise well-educated and religious men and women could believe it was all right to own slaves and also to kill Indians. What ignorance! The United States is far from being the only country to engage in such ignorant behavior; it has gone on for centuries. Romans enjoyed a Sunday afternoon of watching Christians being eaten alive by wild animals. Aztecs practiced a religion in which slaves (prisoners captured from wars with other tribes) were sacrificed to the gods. Arab tribes fought and enslaved one another. Cortez butchered the Aztecs. The Catholic Church murdered perhaps millions of women and Jewish people in their Inquisition, permanently marginalizing the indigenous peoples of Europe who did not practice the Christian faith under the pejorative term “pagan” which merely meant in Latin “people of the countryside”. This term was later used by Christians to refer to any person who did not accept their religion. The point is, rather than laugh or cry at the myopia of past generations, we must ask ourselves, “What is it that is plainly staring us in the face, here in the 21st Century, that we ‘believe’ is a just and moral practice, but which is in fact abominable?” I believe it is the enslavement of our own selves. It is the untold sadism we wreak on our own selves. We must cease the tyrannizing of ourselves. We must cease being cruel to ourselves. We are not the enemy! Yet, we have become criminals to ourselves. We must have compassion for ourselves. This “compassion” is not narcissism. We must learn to accept all that we have ever done as necessary steps to bring us to this moment we are living now. When we cease treating ourselves as slaves, we shall be free. There are many doomsayers, predicting horrible things that will happen in the next three years. Princeton psychologist Julian Jaynes suggests that “it is possible for the brain to be . . . reorganized by environmental changes.” Therefore, even if we will undergo serious environmental change in the next three years, and it seems to be already well underway, this might be a blessing from the Divine in order for us to evolve into fuller expressions of what it means to be human beings. We must do away with the monetary structure as it now exists in the United States and around the world. We can no longer support a structure in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, while the middle class is slowly squeezed out of existence. We must change to a system of barter and the complete removal of usury! Heinberg mentions that, “It is also possible to benefit from techniques used in shamanic cultures for the re-integration of nature and psyche.” The technique know variously as Family Constellation or Systemic Healing is just such a technique and should be widely utilized by individuals, families, businesses, and governments. "The future is the past returning through another gate,” writes Arnold H. Glasgow. If we keep making the same mistakes, each time a window of opportunity opens to change things, we (as a species) will be bound to keep repeating the same drama over and over again. In other words, if we do not change now, during this period of 2012, we face the extinction of our nation, just as so many nations have perished throughout history during these ultimate times of the Great Cycles. However, if we seek to discover what we have been doing incorrectly and seek to right it, then humanity has a chance for a bright new future. There are many doomsayers who are either extremist in a religious sense or extremist in their atheism. It’s humorous that many of the people writing and talking about 2012, would never dream of quoting Bible any other time, but suddenly now all they are doing is reciting frightening Bible verses from the Apocalypse of St. John. Others, who are aware of how humanity has been under the thumb and rule of a small minority, frighten us with their exposé’s about how we are controlled by either wealthy families or space aliens. All this is a distraction from the real focus that humanity needs to make at this time. We need to focus on what makes a human a human. Each person needs to open up to his or her soul and the “inner world” or “subtle world” which is the factory in which his or her manifest world is constructed. Gregg Braden reveals to us that “Our beliefs have the power to change the course of events in the universe--literally to interrupt & redirect TIME, matter, and space, and the events that occur within them.” Deepak Chopra says, “Evil is not our enemy.” Jesus, upon him be peace, said, “Resist not evil.” Chopra continues, “Yes we live in dehumanizing conditions, and thus the shadow surfaces.” We must shed the light of compassion onto our shadow! It has been said that we have taught ourselves to censor ourselves to a pathological degree. Old (ancient, ancestral) wounds must be healed. We must look at what we have been taught not to look at. “Systemic Healing” can address the wounds of past wars, past cosmic cataclysms, past planetary injustices such as slavery, the massacres and subjugation of the American Indian, the world’s indigenous populations, and the rest. We must pray. When I write “pray”, I do not mean repeating prayers by rote without any feeling. We need to pray, feeling deep in our hearts that our prayer has already been answered. We need to pray that the next three years sees events unfold that will raise humankind up to its utmost stature. We must not pray to avoid discomfort, for growth involves the expenditure of energy, time, effort, and moving forward. We are not recommending “new age” Band- Aids. We are recommending true and deep spiritual and psychological work. When we pray, we must feel deeply in our hearts, how we would feel if all of humankind were treating themselves and each other with the greatest compassion. This is the “Prayer of the Heart”. Compassion connects everything in the universe. Compassion underlies everything. Get in contact with that prima materia. Gregg Braden reminds us of the Buddhist message that "Reality exists only where we create a focus". If we are focusing on “impending disaster” in the coming three years, that will become our shared reality; but if we focus on a new dawn of peace, compassion and cooperation among the peoples of the world, then that will become our shared reality. When we come together in common emotion, through a prayer circle, a meditation circle, a visualization circle, a coherence circle, this common emotion influences the Earth’s magnetic field. In an article in the April-May 2003 Nexus magazine we read, “There is a harmonic relationship between the Earth and our mind/body. Earth's low- frequency iso-electric field, the magnetic field of the Earth and the electrostatic field which emerges from our body are closely interwoven. Our internal rhythms interact with external rhythms, affecting our balance, REM patterns, health, and mental focus. SR (Schumann Resonance) waves probably help regulate our bodies' internal clocks, affecting sleep/dream patterns, arousal patterns and hormonal secretion (such as melatonin).” Why does the heart of the fetus start beating? It begins to beat in rhythm with Schumann Resonance, the "heart-beat" of Mother Earth. It is wonderful that some scientists are now realizing this interconnection of Earth and the Human Being. However, other even more progressive scientists are telling us that the process can work the other way around; in other words, we human beings can affect the Earth. This is what we need to do: we need to create what is known as a state of “High Coherence” in our person, our personal lives, and in all of humanity. High Coherence is triggered through deep heart-felt emotions of Appreciation, Gratitude and Compassion. Focused, communal, human emotion has a quantifiable effect on the magnetic field of the Earth. The doomsayers create what is known as a state of “Low Coherence”. Low Coherence is triggered by emotions of Frustration, Anger, Jealousy, Rage, and Hate. How many programs have you watched and how many books and articles have you read, that are aimed at creating Low Coherence emotions in you? How much time do you spend in your head, thinking and ruminating over events and conversations, which results in building up a state of intense Low Coherence inside yourself? Is this kind of thinking doing you, humanity, and the planet Earth any good? No. Low Coherence emotions inhibit cortical function, create hormonal imbalances, generate heart rhythm chaos, trigger cognitive shutdown, and result in suboptimal performance. Is that what you want in your life? High Coherence emotions facilitate a shower of the anti-aging hormone DHEA, they increase cortical function, produce heart rhythm coherence, generate mental clarity, and increase productivity. Does that sound like what you want to experience? The more compassion, deep compassion, you can feel for yourself and others, the more beautiful and productive the next three years will be for you and others! This is a win-win situation. In science there is a phenomenon called Entrainment. “Entrainment is the process whereby two interacting oscillating systems, which have different periods when they function independently, assume the same period. The two oscillators may fall into synchrony,” according to Wikipedia. The phenomenon of entrainment was discovered in approximately 1665 by a Dutch scientist named Christian Huygens. He had a room with a number of pendulum driven clocks in it, and he observed that over time the pendulums of all the clocks fell into synchronization with each other. Even if he deliberately started them swinging at different times, he would inevitably return to find they had resynchronized themselves with each other. He called this synchronization tendency "entrainment". Director of the Institute for Advanced studies in behavioral medicine, Dr. Charles Stroebel, Ph.D., M.D., carried out a sequence of experiments on meditators in the 1970s. He discovered that during stages of deep meditation the brain wave patterns of meditators altered and both hemispheres of the brain were working in harmony together. When these same people were not meditating, one hemisphere was alternately dominant over the other and they were not working in harmony. When we are in a state of High Coherence, we entrain everything and everyone around us. We are literally radiating coherent energy that causes the world around us to respond back to us in a state of High Coherence. I highly recommend the work of the Global Coherence Initiative. This is a science-based initiative focused on uniting millions of people from varied beliefs and cultures, to shift global consciousness from instability and chaos to balance and cooperation. It requires a little learning to know when we are in a state of awareness that affects the world. However, it is simple to learn. If you go to their website at http://www.glcoherence.org/, you can participate: * As a passive observer * Sign up as a member of the community and track your experiences in their computer * Enter the Global Coherence Room and see other human beings around the spinning globe of the Earth, who are in coherence with you. Can you imagine all the men and women of the Earth experiencing their fullest potential? The years leading up to 2012 can be a time when humanity opens up the doors of awareness (outer and inner), in order to fully experience the true majesty of what it means to be a human being on this Earth. 2012 is not the end of the world; it is the beginning of a more deeply meaningful and joyful world for every human being. Steven Hanauer writes, “The Mayan Calendar is the only calendar known to be based on Galactic Cycles. The Mayans claimed they created this calendar in order to monitor the light coming from the center of the Galaxy and how it affected our DNA. We now know through the work of Fritz Popp that DNA not only absorbs lights but also emits light. DNA also appears to be the bridge between our physical and etheric bodies. Modern science now realizes that our DNA directly reflects our consciousness, making it possible for us to willfully change our DNA.” In reality, the only time is now. Center in the now. Jesus, upon him be peace, said, “With God all things are possible.” We must die to the past; die to the outdated world, and create the best of all possible worlds for humanity and ourselves. © 2009 Laurence Galian.
