This December 22, 2011 beginning at 5:30am is the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere, and it occurs during the coldest season of the year. It has influenced the lives of many people over the centuries, particularly through mythology, art, literature, and religious rites and ceremonies. The December solstice is also known as the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere.
2012 a new window of opportunity, a breath of fresh air, a new beginning?
Although winter was regarded as the season of introspection, dormancy, darkness and cold, the coming of the longer lighter days after the winter solstice brought on a more festive mood. To many people, this gradual return of the day light hours was a reason for celebration that the cycles in nature are continuing. Yet in this new year upon us, in 2012, when we approach the next Solstice, according to the Gregorian calendar, which will fall on December 21, 2012, there has been much speculation and predictions of the end of the world. Is it the end or just a new beginning? The Mayan calendar predictions of the completion of great cycles, galactic alignments, as well as, other predictions of polar shifts are major events for this planet. Do the world governments not want to create a scare, and knows more than we are being told?
From my psychic and astrologer perspective, the date of 2012 is a starting point of major changes of evolution that we have not experienced before. It is a starting point to consider the possibilities that are before us. Who do we listen to? Our we foolish ourselves denying what predictions have to offer. If scientists are correct what can we really do about it? We have chosen to be here at this time for a reason. If alignments come into play then that is a case of the understanding that this is a well ordered Universe and nothing happens by chance. With all our sophistication what will be do. Can we stop these planetary changes? How will we cooperate with ourselves and each other and those in our daily lives?
Instead not dealing with what may be before us let’s look at the worst case scenario. Will the world end in 2012. Or will it just be an end to the way things have been not working and outlived their usefulness and appropriateness. We are faced with fears of our security/survival issues, the fear of dying being our biggest unspoken fear. Human evolution is coming to understand its true nature. To name just a few, how we work with our mind, thoughts, emotions, and inner life, is approaching a higher more enlightened way of being. Science and Spirituality is merging with complementary understandings. Mother Earth is erupting all around the globe. In a way our planet, as well as ourselves are releasing that which needs to emerge to a new direction. We are all being asked to look at our own authenitiy like never before and approach life from our true nature and be ourselves.
Do we shiver and shake and disapprove of all that is going on and get angry, depressed, and in so much fear that we are not able to function because of all the uncertainties and possibilities? There are many variables about 2012 and what can and will occur. Can your mind figure it out? Can the greatest minds on the planet figure it out? Do we listen to the predictions or not listen? There are as many different considerations on this topic, and thoughts on the subject, as there are minds on the planet.
We are the ones we have been waiting for. It’s up to us each one individually. Will we treat one another differently only because we have to? In any situation the most important question is what would love do now? Unconditional love. Panic is a self centered approach going nowhere. How will we act collectively? How will you react? It’s a deeply probing question.
Can we really die? Is the body the real death of us? We are infinite unlimited beings. Spiritual beings uncased in this body suit of matter. We came here to Earth to learn to love ourselves and ascend in our evolution. The only moment we have is now! How do we approach life from this understanding? You can remember the feelings of your past memories, good, bad or indifferent, but you can’t bring back those moments in time. The future is not here yet. In getting to the future is the every present moment of now. How will we now approach life and one another? Is 2012 the end or a new beginning?

I enjoyed reading this and your earlier blog regarding 2012. Clearly, the world has changed. Strategies that worked in the past are ineffective today. It seems the change occurred so quickly that the world has been unable to adjust. Many of our leaders are in denial, believing we can go back to the way things were. But if we are to thrive, we must embrace new ways of doing things.
