2012

With all of the hype that has been building over the last decade over the importance of the year 2012, I have reached my own conclusion as to what the significance of the date relates to.

After reading many viewpoints from the ancient Maya to New Age beliefs, science and many hypotheses in between, I believe that we have been experiencing a collective change as a species for a while now.  It has been quickening though, paralleling Terence Mackenna's Time Wave Zero theory, a true galactic alignment of our galaxy and the influx of information today that is literally changing us into something different.

The world is not going to end physically Dec 21, 2012.  It is just changing from what we have known it be.  It has been going on for a while and will not magically change on that date at midnight.
The Maya created their calendars with a precision that truly astounds us for the time period that they existed on the planet.   Being scientists, astronomers and mathematicians, I believe that they were able to perceive the patterns and cycles that everything goes through on our planet and our galaxy.  Their calendar ends as we know it, but everything continues in a higher octave resonance of being.  That is the new beginning.

The old way of thinking and living doesn't fit and we are forced to change.  To some, it will seem like the end of the world and to others it will seem like a new beginning of existence.  It will depend on your point of view and how enlightened you have become in your journey as a spirit in material form.  Energy cannot be destroyed, it just changes form and continues to exist indefinitely.

As an intuitive, I sense that something is about.  I can feel it in the many synchronistic events I have personally experienced that are beyond simple coincidence but are particular and unique to my journey in this lifetime.

Just keep an open mind and trust your intuition, for it is one the most important aspects of your being.  You will know that which resonates with the truth when you see, hear and feel it.  Stay in a heightened alpha state by expanding your mind with Art and Music and express yourself creatively by manifesting thought and imagination in a physical form.  Meditate and embrace quiet solitude with peacefulness  and soul introspection.  And surround yourself with positive energy in your thoughts, actions and words.

This is an exciting time to be alive!

Take Wrong Turns...Talk To Strangers

I have always been a fan of turning left when you would normally turn right.
Intuition guides many of the choices I have made in life.  Synchronicity appears when I have made these choices and life becomes amazing beyond a sheer coincidence.  Only in hindsight do I realize how everything is truly connected and that you need to "keep on keeping on".  Don't let situations in your life paralyze you - believe me, I know how difficult it is to try to keep positive in the midst of darkeness.
And be sure to discover your passions in life.  Follow Your Bliss!

Here are some amazing words of inspiration from Randall Munroe and Rev. Michael Piazza:
Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they'll turn out. - There are so many adventures that you miss because you're waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.
~ Randall Munroe

While we seek to discern God's vision for our lives, it is easy to get caught in inertia, to be frozen in place by the sense that we can't move until we know exactly where to go. This is tempting: to take a break from the journey until we have checked all the maps, the GPS, the Internet for directions, and are absolutely certain of our direction and next steps. However, many of us have stories where we did all of those things and ended up at a dead end or, in my personal experience, in the middle of a field.
Even when we feel certain of the future, the future is never set in stone. God does not need us to have it all figured out to call us toward a particular vision. We don't have to stay still to know God. God calls us to live, to love, and to learn as much as we can in the process.
Visioning can take time, if we do it right. In the meantime, we must worship joyfully. We must pray without ceasing. We must build community by laughing and weeping together for days, months, years on end. We must continue our adventures in living and loving that brought us here and will carry us into our future. It is in worship, in prayer, in community, and in life and love that we will most clearly hear God's call, see what God's next steps for us might be, and find sustenance for our journey toward God's vision. This is the way it always has been for God's people, and this is the way it will be for us.

God of action and reflection, keep us unfrozen as we seek your vision for our lives. Dare us to move, challenge us to adventure, urge us to journey on. Be with us on all of our adventures of life, showing us your way whenever we are able to see you in our midst. Amen
