2012

One of the many new-age/metaphysical topics you won’t find covered on this site is 2012. There were a couple of reasons for this. Not only is it a big topic, but it’s just kind of become “metaphysics cliche” by this point. ;D However, an email I received back in 2006 asking my opinions on 2012 and “ascension,” as well as an IRC chat during the same time period with a guy in England who was lamenting some of the same issues that I have with the subject, inspired the original version of this write up. And then an email I received this week (August 2008) making mention of 2012, including what I believe are references to misinformation, inspired me to resurrect this and do a revamping of it all.

A bit of background: Supposedly, the Mayans chose December 21, 2012 as the end of time on their long count calendar. The Mayan long count calendar is supposed to have begun on what would be the equivalent of our August 13, 3114 BC, and ends 5,128 years later — our December 21, 2012. Here is one particular link that summarizes how the Mayans kept track of time. The significance of this date is that apparently winter solstice 2012 will be the culmination of the 26,000 year precession of the equinoxes, and where our sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way galaxy. So as I write this, we’re supposedly in the last five years of the “Grand Cycle” as it’s called.

2012 is a very popular subject in the new age and metaphysics crowds, and quoting from the aforementioned email I received back in 2006, it involves the idea that “…on the 21st of December, 11.11 am this is when there is a shift and the dimension walls become thin enabling us to move into the 4th”…” In other words, humanity is supposed to shift/ascend to a higher realm, 4th density as some call it, on a particular set date and time. Some people believe that all of humanity will shift up to this new and better world, while others believe that only a chosen few will make it…which calls to mind the Christian belief in Rapture and the second coming of Christ. But either way, stuff is going to go down in a big way at that time, and it’s got a lot of people settling into their seats with their bucket of popcorn, anticipating what’s supposed to be one hell of a show.

I’m open to the idea that something big could happen around the time of 2012, for several reasons, but I don’t believe in it all as we typically hear it presented. Now, the reasons why I think this particular time period could be a candidate for “unusual happenings of an interesting nature” include:

* It’s not just dubious 20th century New Age channeled sources claiming that big changes are in store during this time period, but long-standing Native American prophesies as well. Native American prophesies typically center around global natural disasters that will cleanse the earth and wipe out a majority of mankind, and usually include a set of foreshadowing events which indicate that the time period has arrived. For one particularly good example, see Mary Summer Rain’s Phoenix Rising – No Eyes’ Vision of the Changes to Come. And in the book To Become a Human Being there’s a chapter devoted to Chief Leon Shendandoah’s prophesies, as well as mention of the past catastrophes and how his people had been saved when it happened before. What’s interesting is that there’s a comprehensive checklist summary given at the end of “Phoenix Rising” detailing very specific foreshadowing events…..and pretty much most of them have happened by this point.

* Climate/weather changes. People debate back and forth about whether global warming is really happening, but there definitely seems to be changes occuring like never before, with the hottest years on record happening over the past ten years, melting polar ice caps, record hurricane and typhoons, cold snaps, floods, droughts, winter storms, etc. Whether it’s natural and cyclical, or unnatural and artificially provoked remains to be seen, but it also fits with what the Native American prophesies have been saying, that we’re in the time of great change.

* Things getting weird in general/polarization. Back in 1990, Barbara Marciniak wrote a book called “Bringers of the Dawn,” consisting of channeled information about these upcoming times. Chanelling aside, what got my interest about this book back in 2002 when it was given to me was the way her channeled source was describing to a T changes that I myself had been experiencing………almost as if there was a checklist of sorts of things that certain people would be going through as our world/density shifts up to another, higher realm. Very specific things, from changing diet, taking on exercise, getting rid of TV, becoming independent versus co-dependent in relationships, increase in psychic abilities, witnessing parallel timeline bleedthroughs, and a host of other randomness that left me scrunching my face wondering how she could know what I’d been going through those past few years. ;D And related to this is the way in which it seems that the population is splitting apart, or polarizing. Those who are waking up are really waking up, while many continue to fall further asleep at the wheel, which goes along with the whole splitting/shifting realms thing.

* Time speeding up?/Awakening taking less time for younger generation. Like a vortex of water that spins closer and faster as it approaches the center, before passing through and out to the other side, our reality seems to be speeding up as it nears some possible big changes. Something noted in a research note written by Montalk called Time Speeding Up, is the way in which newbies to the subjects of metaphysics and conspiracies seem to be waking up faster, and taking less time to get to the point where they understand the general “Big Picture” than previous generations. Again, seeming to mimick a vortex approaching the eye. (I think a big part of this involves the internet, giving younger generations tools and opportunities for instant knowledge and awareness like never before. Seems kind of fitting that during the same time period where big changes are apparently upon us, an invention comes along to help facilitate awakening for people on a global level, all at once. But like any tool with the potential for positive, it also has the potential for extreme negative. A trade off maybe, so the dark stuff can’t complain. )


However…..“2012” has become an industry in itself, with all the articles and books and videos being sold on the subject. Need a bit of fast cash? Whip something up on 2012, sell it to a new age magazine or get it published with a book company. Guaranteed way to pay your rent. Newbies to the subject of metaphysics and long standing new agers are being duped with dis/misinformation in my opinion, and even worse, often times are paying money for this silliness. And some of the biggest issues/qualms I have with the idea of 2012, as it’s being presented in many sources, are the following:

* Where we’re getting this information from;

* The fact that it’s the other side of the same “Christian Rapture” coin;

* It promotes an inaccurate idea of what it means to “shift,” and narrows things down to only one magical date;

* It inadvertently encourages apathy.


Let’s examine these ideas more in depth. (and not to sound like my perspective on things is coming from a place of being holier-than-thou and all perfected and saintly (!)……it’s just insight I’ve gleaned over the years, and the things that feel off to me when I read or hear about 2012.)


Where we’re getting this information from. A big part of the reason for why so many people believe that 12/12 represents an instantaneous shift to a new world is thanks to 30+ years worth of channeling of various entities, as well as the new age movement in general which has been heavily promoting this idea. As noted in the above excerpted email………some are even claiming that it’s all going to happen at 11:11 exactly. (11:11 is a HUGE one within the new age circles.) It just makes me roll my eyes to hear such specific proclamations about it all, down to the exact minute of when it’s going to happen. Have to keep in mind that channeling can be a dubious area, full of disinformation, trickster entities and government infiltration and corruption. Not only that, but you have to factor in the channeler’s own bias and ego into the equation. While I’ve encountered what seemed to me to be a few high quality channeling sources over the past few years of my research, overall I try to remain discerning and analytical with the whole thing. Too often people aren’t aware of the fact that there are higher realm trickster neg entities that like to toy with humans, or the fact that there is government/military infiltration within the New Age scene. So just because channeled entities or new age metaphysics gurus tell us how it is — or how it will be in the future — doesn’t mean it really is. So for me, I’m open to the idea of big changes happening as we approach 2012 and beyond, but I’m not going to believe it solely because channeled sources have said so. I’d like to find my own personal proof that this idea has validity, which is probably always a good idea in general for anything.


It’s the New Age version of “The Rapture.” Like Sananda, the New Age’s version of Jesus, ( he even looks like Jesus which is amazing considering that nobody knows what Jesus really looked like ) the New Age also has Ascension…..their equivalent of the Rapture. Same product, different package. Possibly some very valid ideas, ie, a great shift during these times, big changes for the planet and Mankind, etc., have been purposely hijacked onto the already existing Rapture ticket (something else that I think is misinformation), and distorted in order to lead people astray. And like the Christian Rapture, the New Age idea of Ascension, as it’s typically promoted, involves a select few being “chosen” to make it to the next level, so to speak, based on varying criteria. But I don’t believe a person’s evolution out of third density is about “judgment” and “chosen ones,” as implied, making it a process that’s determined externally by something “grading us” and giving us the “gold star.” That’s a mindset/belief that stems from a lifetime of programming that conditions us to be children at the mercy of higher authority figures who determine our fates for us, taking responsibility out of our hands. Rather, we as individuals determine our own evolution and whether we move beyond 3rd density. Which leads to….


Promotes an inaccurate idea of what it means to “Shift” and narrows it down to one date, and one date only.

Many people believe that if they make the grade then one morning, namely December 21, 2012, they’re going to just……wake up in a new magical wonderful realm, called 4th density or what have you, and life will be all shiny and perfect. You just sit around until one day boom, you instantly shift over. Then life is 100% fixed and better, cue the happy New Age music and roll the credits, end of story.

Out of everything else, it’s this exact belief that stands out for me as being the most potentially dangerous or damaging, which I’ll get more into in a moment. From what I’ve been gathering, the process of “shifting” seems to be a gradual process, and is more about the idea of which realm/probable future you attract to yourself versus instantly switching over to some new world. Which means everything you do every day influences your future.

I think many people lack awareness of the concept of multiple probable future timelines and the idea of realms, and realm dynamics. It’s not their fault though for not knowing about these concepts. They’re not exactly taught to us in schools or heavily promoted for the average person to know in our society. But what it all means is that the future is not set in stone, there are different versions of it — known as timelines — that you can wind up on, and it’s all determined by the things you are doing in your life right now. Every day, with every choice you make, and every action and every word, you not only draw to yourself what sort of life you’d like to have, but you also determine which of those probable futures you’re going to wind up in.

So if there is some sort of shift occurring within our reality, then “shifting” is going to be an ongoing process that’s determined on a daily basis, eventually leading up to different people winding up in different probable future realties. That’s the simplified version of it anyway. This means it’s also about taking an active responsibility for ourselves…now. Not sitting around for the next four years expecting to be magically rescued by aliens, Jesus, or galactic alignments. Which leads to….


It encourages apathy and victimhood. Always question the effects that a particular belief has on people. And in this case, what does the belief in overnight “ascension” into a new magical realm do? It promotes ineffectual apathy and lazy victimhood. Why? Because:

a) People are putting their lives on hold, believing that there is no point to anything because it’s all going to be over in a few years. I’ve even seen somebody ask on a messageboard what the point of life is between now and 2012. As if there was nothing worth living for or doing between now and then, such was his understanding that it’s just some instantaneous switcharoo into a new and magical realm, rendering everything in between to be pointless. !!!!!! What these people fail to realize is that it could all be over for them tomorrow. Next week. Next month. We’re all going to die, all of our lives have an expiration date. Does that mean you don’t live in the meantime? No! Of course not. So don’t assume that you’re going to be here next month, or that you’re going to live to be old, and live to see “ascension” and “2012.” You may not. This is a common teaching in many spiritual practices actually — being aware of death, and facing it, right now. We have to take that principle and apply it to the idea of 2012: Live life to its fullest today, in the now, and make the most of every moment you have.

Keep in mind too that “The Powers That Be” (TPTB) would love nothing more than for you to go belly up and put everything on hold in your life, believing in a future “end times” date…because this renders you ineffectual in the present. As just pointed out, many ascension believers seem to experience a lack of motivation or desire to do anything anymore from what I gather, such is their belief in this future end date. They’re technically still alive, and yet they’ve still been “taken out of the picture” you could say, only in a different way. The world can benefit from our help right now, but if we’re just lazing around, thinking, “Why bother? What’s the point?” all because of this — supposed — end date, (which may not even result in anything!) then TPTB win.

b) It encourages the idea of external salvation. People are sitting around waiting to be rescued, be it by aliens, Jesus, a 4th density shift, etc. This mindset of waiting for external salvation advocates not taking responsibility for yourself. But the bottom line is: Nobody else can save you. Only you can save yourself. We’re all responsible for pulling ourselves out of our own hole. There’s always positive stuff around that helps wherever possible, but we have to take the intiative and do our share of the work too. However, we’ve been conditioned over an entire lifetime via school, government, religion, police and society in general to give up our sovereignty to various higher authorities, which keeps us in a powerless, helpless childlike state of mind. So many grown adults out there in the world have trouble with just day-to-day sorts of activities, making decisions, taking charge of navigating through the world from what I’ve seen at my (quite numerous ) jobs over the years, to the point of being quite shocking. Let alone helping themselves when it comes to personal growth and empowerment. But this is exactly why “the system” has been set up around us the way it has in my opinion, to create that sort of a situation. Only when people remember and realize “who they are” and reclaim that sovereignty will things ever change.

This past winter I was doing a reading with my Osho Zen Tarot and I was asking about the validity of “The Shift.” As I shuffled the cards I intended for my higher self, if it was interested and felt like conversing, to have a card pop out of the deck at me that answered my question. Is this infamous “Shift” real? Is there really something coming our way that’s going to change our reality as we know it? Or (gulp!) have we already missed that boat?? Is it too late?? Did it already happen?!! I mean, ‘cause there’s a thought you know. The big shift/wave has already swept through and me and everybody else in my reality are going down with the boat. !! I told my higher self that if it did make a card pop out of the deck, I’d do my best to figure out what it was about the card that it wanted me to see. Shuffle shuffle shuffle…….then out pops a card, onto the carpet. Turned it over and it was the card called “Moment to Moment.” To quote an excerpt of the card’s description from the accompanying deck’s book:

“The past is no more and the future is not yet: both are unnecessarily moving in directions which don’t exist. One used to exist, but no longer exists, and one has not even started to exist. The only right person is one who lives moment to moment, whose arrow is directed to the moment, who is always here and now; wherever he is, his whole consciousness, his whole being, is involved in the reality of here and in the reality of now. That’s the only right direction. Only such a man can enter into the golden gate. The present is the golden gate. Here-now is the golden gate…….”

What are the odds, really? Asking if some near-future shift/ascension is real, coming our way, or, if it’s already passed, and to get a card talking about time, and stressing that “the present is the golden gate.” Which ties into something I was told by my higher self in 2002…….that everything we do every day determines what timeline we wind up on. Stressing the importance of the now. The present. So, interesting “coincidence.”

So, imagine what would happen should we start remembering and realizing “who we are” in the big cosmic sense of the word. A situation where we start seeing through the illusion, and going in a different direction from everybody else, living an existence that’s self empowering and in line with higher ideals. As mentioned, not only does that draw to you more positive immediate life surroundings and experiences, but it helps steer you onto the various probable – positive – futures. And it’s within those various future timelines, the ones that are in line with higher ideals, that eventually lead to realms beyond 3rd density. All of which means that if you’re somebody who would like to shoot for something higher, then it starts right now. Not four years from now. So take the initiative right now, and decide how your life is going to go, and make the most of what you can every day.

Good post. I like it. That's pretty close to how I feel about it, but I probably couldn't have worded it that good. I have noticed quite a few people giving up on life because they believe 2012 is going to fix everything. I find it ridiculous. Again, good post.

Glad u guys liked it.

The power is in urself, in ur hands, in ur heart, in ur mind, in urself.

There are many posibilities in the future...

Is not in the hands of the politicians.. is not in the hands of the aliens.. it's in ur hands.

What u want?......

What u want for urself?....

Create what u want.

And be careful what u wish for.. be careful with ur thoughts...and feelings..If they are negative switch them.

The post above presents... a neutral, a well grounded point of view.

I'm bumping.

ines mi niña, me podes responder algo: como es que siendo indigos y manteniendo tan poco la atencion vamos a leer tanto? aun si es del 2012

sin ofender, te cuidas

I wanted to thank you for this post. I am so sick of reading doomsday predictions, even from those who purport to be thinking "positive", that I decided to do a search for the positive side of 2012. The first thing that I clicked on happened to be this thread.

Imagine my surprise when I read about the similarities between 2012 and the Rapture, that there are multiple time lines, that it is dangerous to put all the eggs in the 2012 basket, the concern that people are not living to the fullest because of the possibility of what's coming -- and realized that these exact things have been going through my mind the past few weeks! I meditated and asked for clarity this week and here I am led to this thread. I love synchronicity!

I seriously question channelled material, which is where many of these prophecies come from. I'm sure a lot of it is accurate, but with channelled material the biases of the recipient are a factor. I have done some mediumship and I have found it challenging not to pass the information I receive through the filter of my own perceptions and experiences. I get a lot of correct information, but there are things that I think are one way but turn out to be something else. Untill I give the information to the person, I don't know how correct I am. Nobody really knows what is going to happen in 2012 until it comes.

I have also come across many people who talk about the end of the world with glee. They are so into the dramatic events that it seems they WANT something horrible to happen! I find that profoundly disturbing. Where thoughts go, energy flows. I think those people will find themselves on a timeline they will regret attracting to themselves. *shiver* Me? I am thinking positive, suspecting that there will be much relief just like when Y2K passed. Y2What?

Sarita

I was just thinking about 2012. We had to change our Calander system like, what 5 times? Finally, our bean counters figured out one that brought the spooky 12/21/12 to coincide with the much more accurate Mayan Calander

Although it jacked up the birth of Christ, they still don't know which year to pidgeon hole that.

Thanks for the refreshjng perspective

yes, i enjoyed this also.
ty for posting achilles and ty for finding it to bump it for us sarita!

That's cool that a few here have enjoyed my article that somebody posted. Just to note that the article has been modified/slightly expanded since its initial posting, so the copied and pasted text isn't the same version that now appears on my site. I tend to wish that people wouldn't copy and paste my entire articles onto message boards for that very reason. Only because I'm always improving or expanding or editing them over time. So when the text is copied and pasted like that it locks in the older versions permanently. (as well as other minor issues I have with it all.) My preference would be if people posted a one or two paragraph excerpt, and then a link to the website so people can read the rest.

Regards,
Carissa

is that your website link below the article carissa?

Indeed. But that's also slightly outdated text above it!

ok, ill check out the website! ty.

pues poniendo un poquito de esfuerzo, amigo, o tan solo, si te interesa algo lo lees. haha..

peace dude.

I'm very happy about this. I'm so glad that I put something that was useful for you.... (and i'm glad if it's useful for more ppl wether they express it or not)

I see so many positive things related to around the 2012... and ... when i found and post this, were days that I was seeing so many ppl scared about it...... and......I wanted to do something about it.

.... cos the thing is we create... right?... haha... that's I thing one of the biggest things about... these times, that we are re-covering our power, re-membering it... Actually I believe that RECOVERING OUR PERSONAL POWER... and for CREATING SOMETHING GOOD.... is ..... so freagging important..... and ... "the thing" right now....

fear creates....

positive thinking... creates....

negative thinking... creates....

so, is all about where do we want ... WANT... to put our focus on....

is about our WILL....

.....I'm so ..... learning about it........ it's all about Love.... Love to ourselves....and to others......and.......all about where we focus our thoughts, heart, ... energy, efforts....

We have to learn how to use this tool called brain.... and our whole being... our vibrations.....

ok.... etc etc haha

ok ciao!

I don't understand why anyone would think 2012 is a doomsday.......It is not.

Also achilles I didn't have time to read your whole post but I will touch on some things.

Sananda is not jesus, but is a very similar figure to jesus. The difference is Yeshua (the jesus we know of) and the story of Sananda were mixed together, along with the story of another (who was crucified) to make the modern day "Jesus" we know of today. I cannot provide proof but this is something I have come to learn and sort of believe.

Sananda was a sort of "jesus" figure of the inner circles of "ascension" and supposedly his specific mission was that of a 12th dimensional avatar, designed to cure a distortion (genetic) within Hewbrew lines and other by being able to anchor in the right frequency. In a sense, this is kind of like the bible describing him being the mediator between heaven and earth. Where areas Yeshua was a more public figure who taught openly his teachings and was prosecuted for it.Both of them were high level avatars with specific missions, Sananda's mission more attributed to direct work on the ascension/re-aligning where areas Yeshua more of a public teacher, spreading the basics of spirituality/ascension.

2012 goes beyond alignment, we got stellar spirals and waves coming in from many different star systems, dimensions overlapping, and time accelerating into a "convergence" point.....The halls of amenti, and many, many other things.

On the positive side we got a HUGE opportunity to reach portions of ourselves that we haven't had access to (as humans) for a LONG time. There are too many 2012 topics so I will not go into it anymore. But have no fear. It's all good.

[quote=Achilles, Ines.;]pues poniendo un poquito de esfuerzo, amigo, o tan solo, si te interesa algo lo lees. haha..

peace dude. [quote=Achilles, Ines.;]

tienes razon, tambien sobre la información primera, al principio no lo senti del todo atinado, la cuestión es que, tiene mucha razón en que es de cada individuo ir más profundo en la consciencia y no aferrarse a esperanzas consoladoras de creencias en cristo, budismo o nueva era. sin embargo tambien es cierto que llega un momento en el que el esfuerzo y el entendimeinto de cada individuo tiene que abrirse a la existencia no individual y entrar donde el esfuerzo de uno es incluo una barrera y no es comprensible, es incognicible. te das cuenta del meollo del asunto? pero si digo que tienes calzón, digo razón, perdón, no vaya a ser que te salga la violencia aquiliana y me peges con el calzoncito. xD

No fear.

2012 is a window, a gate, and opportunity to change it ALL.

The decision is OURS. When the final vortices close around 20220, the timelines will be "phase locked" and begin to spread out along their own paths again. As they did so converge in the 2012 alignment.

What we do with this precious time, with this precious opportunity is ours. Remember who you are, make the EFFORT to do so, because although the veil is being lifted, we are still in a state of amnesiac, there must be conscious effort to remember, to know, to learn. Some of you will be appalled by the horrors which has occurred to us, and been happening on this planet for a long time. But don't be- If anything it should inspire you to really let it all go for good.
