Have you seen the movie 2012? Pretty spectacular special effects, but really kind of a dud.

Contrary to popular notions 2012 doesn’t mark the end of the world on the Mayan calendar. It is more accurate to think of it as the end of an era. David Wilcock describes it as more of a crisis point (my term). It’s a point at which energies are lined up so that humanity can make a change in direction.

J. Krishamurti

J. Krishnamurti describes the crisis we are facing as a crisis in consciousness in which we can no longer accept the old thinking, patterns, norms, and traditions. Yes, that means that we’ve got to use our brains like we have never used them before and decide if we are going to grow up or remain a species trapped by lower emotions. You know… things like anger, greed, fear, and stupidity.

Do you ever look at world events and ask yourself exactly who put the crazy people in charge? I’m reminded of a movie called The King of Hearts. In it a World War II Scottish soldier goes into a village in France where all the citizens have evacuated except for those in the local insane asylum. The doors to the asylum have been opened and the patients have taken over the main roles in the city like the mayor, the chief of police, and the local judge. Well, I feel like I’m living this movie every time I turn on the television, read the newspaper, or check out one of the political blogs. Think about it. There are people who really think that providing health care for our citizens is a bad thing. There are other people who doubt climate change despite seeing big chucks of glaciers melting throughout the world.

Anger, greed, fear, and stupidity really put blinders on people’s eyes. But here is the thing… you can’t take the blinders off of other people’s eyes, you can only take them off of your own eyes. Work on shifting your own consciousness, not on trying to convince others. If you live the example of your ideas, then you will impact others by the example of your own life. As 2010 approaches, I see a challenge in front of me, you , and everybody else to start changing the way we think about things. More to come later…
