What's Is The "End Times"/ 2012?

For many years now there's been a lot said and written about "The End Times" and the year 2012. For some people, it carries a biblical mandate and thus is shrouded in much mystery and mayhem, producing all sorts of fears. For others it signifies some prophetic and magical time of new beginnings when everything on the Earth changes--no more wars, famine.... Each carries some semblance of truth in that if we look at it from a Biblical standpoint yes, it is a time of great upheaval and chaos as we experiencing right now. If we look at it from the standpoint of the optimists, it could be a 'magical' time. However, the keys to understanding this whole thing lie in the words 'end' and 'new beginnings' and 'changes--almost a blending of both interpretations.

There cannot be a beginning without an end and with all new beginnings things have to change in order to move with the 'currents' of change. In fact, things have to change or else there cannot be a new beginning. They are all interdependent and interlocking components.

As we look at our world today, one cannot but look forward to 2012 if even for the paltry thought that "hopefully it'll be better." But what exactly does 2012 mean for humanity as a whole? It means there is going to be a shift in conscious awareness on this planet, almost akin to some sort of 'evolutionary jump.' It is through man's evolving conscious awareness that he has survived and thrived for millions of years on planet Earth. And it is ONLY through an 'evolutionary jump' in his thinking that he will be able to withstand and thrive in this new era.

It is sad and disturbing that after all our technological prowess we still act with almost primitive instinct in our insatiable thirst for dominance in every arena of life. Today's news is replete with war, greed, crime, suffering, nuclear threat, economic chaos.... Why hasn't anything changed much over the ages? Because our thinking has not aged with the ages, therefore, our behavior has remained the same at its core.

The shifting cosmic energies are forcing us to go 'within', to search within ourselves for the answers now as we come to terms with the fact that there is no vengeful god who's out to get us or who stirs up trouble for this world, but that we are all in it and all responsible for what has happened and what may continue to happen unless we change and change rapidly. Time is swiftly running out so it is critical for us to make a quantum leap in our bid to 'change with the changing times.'

How? By practicing right thinking, setting powerful intentions for a better world, trusting in our innate, superhuman abilities to set powerful visualizations in motion to create/manifest what type of world environment we want and also trusting that our efforts will have the powerful cosmic backing that it needs to bring it into a physical reality. We cannot lose a moment anymore.

For those of us who wish to be the pioneers of this new era on Earth, let us start now, this very moment, by practicing deep breathing as we visualize our ideal environment, ideal life, our ideal world, and set powerful intentions that it will be so--"I intend that my life, the lives of my family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, community members, countrymen, and world family will be positively changed, bringing in peace, harmony, joy, abundance, good health and prosperity for all." "And So It Is."

Let us do this as often as we can on a daily basis for we are the ones called upon to spearhead this change. It is our duty and our calling, having nothing to do with our vocation or religious backgroud--or lack of one. It is a concerted effort to help bring out a positive change in a world that desperately needs one, and it is to our own benefit that we do this for whether we believe it or not, we are each an integral part of that great web of life, and our interconnectedness and interdependence is finally being proven to us in a way that truly hits hard--the threatened collapse of our global economy and of a false consumer-driven security.
