The 2012 Gateway

Lately I've been getting a lot of questions about 2012, its significance, and what I think will be happening at sunrise on December 21st. On that date, the solstice sun will rise into the center of the milkyway, in alignment with galactic center. This powerful moment has been prophecied by many cultures, but most significantly the Maya people of Mexico and Central America. Nostradamus and other significant seers of the past also fortold great change and, sometimes, catastrophe occuring on or around this date. Many people are concerned about survival through this time of change, believing that this date will mark the "end of the world".

For those of you who have attended my workshops, you'll know that I'm not a "grab your gun and your can of beans and run for the hills" kinda gal. The fear based panic that is being fed by both the media and some spiritual teachers today is, to my way of thinking, completely counter to the entire point of this shift. You ARE going to die. That's a given. SO WHAT? Spirit is eternal and death is an illusion. Who cares if you die crossing the street and getting hit by a bus, or having an asteroid land on you, or through some other calamity? Focusing on 2012 as the nexus point for one's fear of death is counterproductive to say the least! The great lesson in this time is not "surviving the shift". It is in evolving through this tremendous energetic gateway of opportunity that we have available to us at this very special moment in time. And that evolution begins now!

We are already in the shift. Everyone I know is experiencing the breakdown of old forms, a refocusing on what is truly important to them, and a shift toward living more in balance with the Earth. This shift began in earnest on the 8/8/08 gateway and will continue to intensify as we move through the next three years and beyond. Old forms that are not in alignment with the new way of being are falling apart. Our fears are phantoms are coming to the surface of our minds and realities so that they can be illuminated and transformed. People are responding to this massive shift in energy and consciousness in very different ways. How you choose to respond is a direct indication of what your experience in the coming years will be.

One of the most dominant themes of this transition to higher consciousness is the need to return to balance with the Earth. People are feeling a deep need to reconnect with nature and the Divine-in-nature. The drive to live more sustainably is fueling a back-to-the-land movement that is not about fear of starvation or natural disasters or plagues in the cities, but is instead about walking in balance with the planet and living in a more centered way. The loss of jobs and even homes, as painful as it is, can be an opportunity to make changes to a simpler and more centered way of life. Working to raise one's consciousness beyond the fear based "survivalist" mode, and into the higher consciousness of the co-creator is a critical part of this shift-- both for one's self and for the planet at large.

Will there be earth changes and disasters coming over the next three years? Probably. There are very real signs that we are on the brink of some major transitions that are an important-- even integral-- part of the natural evolution of our planet. Poles may shift. Oceans probably will rise. Earthquakes, floods, tornados and volcanos will increase if all of the current signs and portents are true. The magnetic field of the Earth is disappearing, allowing huge quantities of galactic and cosmic light to enter our atmosphere. The financial systems of the world have taken a hit that will not be recovered from anytime soon. But these symptoms of change are not the point of the 2012 gateway to a new age. They are the birth pangs.

The effects of these symptoms can be greatly reduced by choosing NOW to live in balance with the planet. This means looking closely at what the Universe is asking you to give up through current changes in your life that may look or feel like loss. Also, looking at how you can live a more self-sufficient and sustainable life. This may mean moving to an area that is less populated, where you can grow some of your food and have clean water and air. Make these changes as a co-creative movement back into balance with the Earht-- not as a survivalist, fear based choice. As more people make the shift to sustainable, conscious living on the Earth, we will be facilitating the healing of the Earth and humanity. Making this transition in a centered, conscious way will enable us to thrive through this transformative time. Even more important is focusing on positive co-creative thought and action. You are not a victim of these times. With proper consciousness you can thrive, expand, enjoy and celebrate this amazing opportunity for growth and change.

When you wake up on December 21st, 2012 what will you do if the world hasn't ended? (and, I sincerely belive that it won't!) What reality will you wake up in that you had spent the previous three years creating? What energy will you be taking with you through this shift that we are already experiencing? Will you carry forward fear and surivival mode thinking that will only perpetuate the old ways? Or will you emerge with a sharing, caring, cooperative and conscious mind-set? Will you be alone in your home with your gun and your tin of beans, or will you have cultivated a cooperative caring community that can mutually support one another through any difficulties or challenges that may arise? Will you be living in a sustainable way, or mourning the loss of the local supermarket? Will you be afraid or excited?

Make this choice NOW, as it will be the sole thing that determines how your experience of the shift will unfold. The choices and decisions you make today about how you want to transform as we move collectively toward the 2012 gateway will not only affect you. These choices will affect all of us. Choose consciousness, love and true, simple abundance. Choose life, not survival!

In Light,
