What I believe about “2012″

There’s a lot of controversy surrounding “2012″,  a lot of debate, and a lot of wild-eyed fancy.      It’s becoming more obvious to us that what the “2012″  transit actually IS,  differs considerably from what we IMAGINE it is or will be, based on some book, dream, prophecy, or speculation.    Reality bites.    Truth is indeed str anger than fiction.

I see the 2012 crossing as occurring now.   This is what it looks like, and it’s messy.    It’s not over, either.   Just about anything can happen.   NOW is an opportunity get it together  and I believe we should all grab it.     As the saying goes;  if you want to cross thin ice, study it first, walk carefully, and carry a light load.    If we prepare for the worst, imagine how elated we will feel if we cross over successfully.    Be prepared, but prepare also for the best.

We are dealing with reality, not fantasy.     That’s why I try to step back and look at actual facts.    Read my post “Current Facts”.    What’s on that page is only a fraction of relevant information concerning the times we live in.    Facts can be sobering, and they should be.    Being alert can help us live longer, do more good, enjoy our existence, and educate our descendents.

For many, the idea of 2o12 is extremely frightening, but it does not need to be that way.     I don’t get alarmed easily because I realized long ago that no matter what, I won’t be long on this earth.    I will pass, or at least my body will.   That’s a guarantee.    We’ll all be gone eventually.   People should make peace with that early in life, in my opinion.     We’re all lucky to be alive, more fortunate that we can imagine.

We are truly living in “interesting times.” Older people appreciate  it more perhaps, because they’ve lived through and participated in fantastic changes on earth in the last 75 years.    The transition from one “age”, or solar cycle, precession, takes a good long time.    Even 1 percent of 26,000 is 260 years.    The 2012 “crossing” started awhile ago and is reaching a crescendo now.    Nobody really knows what’s going to happen in the future, but we can easily look around us and see what’s going on in front of us.    This is big, very big.   And the really big stuff hasn’t happened yet.

We do not need to be confused about our planet, our sun, our existence.    A little reflection reveals just how tiny we are, in fact, how tiny our entire civilization is.    This should be obvious to any thinking person.    All we have to do is look at the photos in history books, and see huge stone structures left in ruins.   It will happen to us too.    Someday, someone will look at our old cities, make notes and scratch their heads.     Since our lives are short, and all our empires crumble, we should examine the moments we have and use them wisely.

What’s going to happen next?

It’s taken me awhile, but I’ve arrived at some conclusions regarding what I think will soon happen.    I could be very wrong, of course, but I’ve done a lot of research, thinking, meditating, and reflecting.    I must say I’ve benefitted enormously from the tireless and amazing work of many researchers, and I’m very grateful.   In particular, I’d like to thank Mr. Marshall Masters, and his team at www.yowusa.com for inspiring me, being persistant and diligent, and very clear.    We all need to work together, not just because of “2012″, but because that’s how people survive on this planet.    Individually, we all have to pay close attention to our life,  because that’s how we enjoy it most.    Education is a part of enlightenment.

I believe that the most powerful events about to transpire are not about war, bombs, etc. A single large asteroid has more power than any arsenal so it’s in our interest to watch the sky.      I don’t believe the earth is going to be totally destroyed, all life on it, etc.   No.    There is a creator, and we are here for a reason, not by accident.     The reason is quite simple, the opportunity to enjoy human life, which CAN be heaven, if that’s what we choose.     We will realize “heaven”, when we understand how amazing and precious our lives are, and what created us.

The creator is not a man in the sky…. it’s the infinite conscious energy that moves in exquisite patterns, generating, operating, and destroying matter as it goes.     We are a part of that.   We can also move in exquisite patterns, create, operate, and destroy.      Consciousness and energy are connected.     We all know that intuitively, but if we explore the full significance of that we will be startled.    The universe is alive and aware.   We will know that to the extent that we become aware and fully alive.

I’m inclined to believe now that we are about to get a terribly frightening “near miss” that will shock the planetary consciousness. It will be accompanied by much more of what we are seeing now, rapid climate change, storms, electrical phenomena, and a number of other effects.     I do not believe most of the people on earth will perish.   Instead, I believe MOST people will survive, but it will be a very different place by the end of this century.    Most people will have to move, some a long ways.    One might say we are going to have a planetary “NDE”, or near death experience.    Or, the solar system is is getting a chiropractic adjustment.    Cosmic accupuncture is another way of putting it.    Our solar system is getting “tickled”, or electrified, by other energy systems and it is twitching.

I believe most governmental structures that currently exist will eventually collaps of their own weight and corruption in the decades ahead. They are not built upon enough real substance to last more than a few more generations and they will not respond well to global disruption ( Remember hurricane Katrina ? ).    After major disruption it will be next to impossible to re-formulate the same institutions we have now because the terrain will be very different, and access to supplies, tools, communications, etc.  will be difficult if not impossible.    Even dragons can starve to death, and that applies to political or other types of ”dragons”.

Smaller groups will band together and figure out ways to get things done in order to live comfortably. As large institutions collapse or dissolve, we will have to create new styles of living, ones that are more appropriate to the facts of life. Whoever is left on earth in 50 years will be probably be living a frugal life, taking advantage of the many used consumer goods and products that did not get destroyed in one way or another.     More people will plant gardens and use animal transportation.   Motor transport will not end, just be used more judiciously.     We have plenty of vehicles now for quite awhile.    We can also use smaller engines, CNG ( compressed natural gas ), etc.

I believe air transport by small plane will become more common, the way it is now in places like Alaska, parts of Africa and many other places.   People will use ultralight and light sport planes too.    The reason I believe that is because our roads and bridges will decay fast, without maintenance and repair.   Some roads will be destroyed altogether and never get rebuilt.

Manufacturing will be paralyzed, at least for awhile so new products could become rare. People will learn to fix things and make things, more than they do now.   ( in places like Cuba, they keep fixing cars for 50 years.  )   Some areas of the world might do rather well, actually, since there are vast stores of various types of food, supplies, vehicles, and so on in may places.    I guess we can thank China and other Asian countries for the zillions of things we have in our garages and attics.     I believe whoever survives the next  20 to 50  years will find ways to put together necessary infrastructure, on a much smaller scale than we have now.     We could still have computers, but not have a worldwide “web” available to all.     It could get like telegraph used to be… emergencies, etc.   Who knows ?

What is happening, cosmologically, is that a large spectrum of cosmic light is streaming into our system right now from the galactic center in particular, but also from other sources. In the same way that we cannot normally see infrared light, we are not fully able to perceive this new light, or types of light, but they are still having effects on people, animals, and plants.    Besides light ( cosmic energy ), we are also entering an area where there is material debris, and most likely, our sun’s companion, a brown dwarf.     In the same way that we cannot see some kinds of focused light unless we look directly at it, there is light coming from outside our system that is focused like a beam, and we can be affected by it suddenly, if conditions are right.   The “aura” of our Earth, and of the sun itself can be attuned to these waves from outer space, if the magnetic field is receptive.

In addition to our sun’s traversing of the galactic equator,  I consider the Nibiru system a likely scenario. It makes sense, given what we know from both modern astronomy and ancient myths.     Plus, some governments are spending millions of dollars, secretly in some cases, to find out what’s might be coming our way.     There is also a vigorous DISinformation campaign, and that should sound alarms to any reasonable person.     I’m not an astronomer, but from all I’ve read and heard, if I had a big telescope I’d be looking too, and not just for fun.

The brown dwarf solar companion called Nibiru, or Planet X, is not just one object.    It’s a whole system.    We know brown dwarfs can have planets, and those planets can also have moons, like our planets.    How Nibiru’s approach affects us depends on many factors.   For example, it matters where it is, exactly.    The positions of its orbiting objects also makes a big difference.     Some space debris gets attracted to Jupiter, so Jupiter is one of our protectors.   Perhaps a dangerous asteroid or planetoid will go there instead of here.    It’s also possible that the delicate balance of orbiting bodies on our solar system will be just right to slightly affect the path of a large object and spare us all.

In any case, it seems certain by now that some things are inevitable now simply because of the laws of physics. Our collective Earth civilization is on a speeding train and nobody can stop it.     However, individually, we DO have brakes, and we are able to change directions quickly.      Our massive cultures can crack and decay, but individuals can go on for a long time.    In a hurricane the largest trees go down first.    The grass survives just fine.    There’s a lesson in that for all of us.

Nobody should be surprised if our earth and sun go through a celestial transformation. Are we not praying for change day and night around the world ?    What does REAL change look like ?    And have we not changed the earth ourselves,  raping and scraping it, dumping our filth in sacred places ?   Should we not reap any consequences ?     That’s now how the system works.     It seems quite evident that the planetary psyche has subconsciously reached a point of consensus…..   Sadly, some are even suicidal in a quest for rapid change.

We collectively are on a desperate quest for liberation, a liberation from our ignorance, our weaknesses, and a liberation into a state of awareness where we can see more clearly,  and act accordingly.    But what does liberation look like ?    Is it wealth ?   endless technology ?   total control,  Walmart ?     or is it simply gratitude for being able to walk the earth, breathe it’s sweet fresh air,  and look and the divine space above and all around us ?    Even a child with no possessions can do that.    We are already wealthy beyond imagining;   we have a priceless body and mind, and we walk freely on the irreplaceable earth.    We breathe rare air, and we have precious companions.
