Will the World Really End on December 21, 2012?
I was recently asked how I interpreted the Mayan and Hopi
predictions that the world, as we know it, will end on the 21st
of December 2012. Would there be global war -- possibly
triggering a nuclear holocaust? Would the planet's life forms
finally succumb to the ecological quagmire that's been building
in our soils, oceans and atmosphere? Would the current steady
increase of previously unknown diseases overcome our ability to
defend against them? Or will we suddenly move into a new Golden
Age in which the lion lies down with the lamb and struggle,
pain, and suffering are gone forever?
This is no small question. Quite the contrary, it deals with
some of the larger concepts in the universe. From a metaphysical
perspective, the world ends and recreates itself every instant.
December 21, 2012 is certainly no exception. However, it does
offer a target date that brings all the possible scenarios into
vivid focus.
What we perceive from our vantage point of being in human form
is only a teeny sliver of the infinite swirl of interpenetrating
realities that make up the universe. To us, there is a past,
present, and future. Time appears to move predictably from
moment to moment forming the days and years of our lives. 2012
is a real date on our calendars and each of the possible
scenarios can be seen to be advancing steadily toward it like
racehorses to the finish line.
If you were to ask the "2012 End-of-the-World" question of a
gifted psychic, she (or he) would gaze into several of the
parallel universes making up our possible futures and report
back on the one that seemed to be the most vivid. This is like a
handicapper picking the favorite in a particular race. Just as
in horse racing, the favorite often wins, or comes close. But,
not always. On any given day, one of the long shots might cross
the line first while the favorite trails the field.
>From a cosmic perspective, picking the winning scenario is easy.
Understanding the nature of how this can be done is considerably
more elusive. Infinity is impossible to grasp in finite terms.
When we pose a finite question in an infinite realm, it's like
trying to cram a herd of stampeding elephants into a matchbox.
It won't be the lack of effort that defeats us, but the
minuscule size of the container we are trying to use. Our minds
are the matchbox. We are going to have to think way out of the
box to begin to grasp the answer to how the world will end on
December 21, 2012.
The simple answer is that every one of the possible scenarios
you can envisage will find expression in one or more of the
myriad parallel universes that manifest in every instant. And
that includes the date spoken about by so many as the moment our
world comes to an end. What adds weight to this date is the fact
that with each passing hour more people are becoming aware of it
and adding their energies to the consensus. We have already seen
the power of agreement at work in events such as World Healing
Day, The Harmonic Convergence and other moments of focus. It was
not the calendar date that created the power; it was the
cohesive intent of those who took part.
Having said that, it is no mere coincidence that so many
disparate cultures all around the world that have had no known
contact with one another should focus on the same date. There is
increasing evidence that the time leading up to 12/12/12 does
mark the presence of an energy portal that has never before been
accessible to the human race. Each of us is being offered an
opportunity to shift that may not again arise in thousands of
years to come.
Whether or not December 21, 2012 marks an immutable cosmological
event or not becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy is moot. There
is no question that it looms as a very significant moment. What
concerns us most, is wanting to know what will happen. At one
end of the bell-curve of probabilities is total physical
annihilation. At the opposite end is the arrival of the Golden
Age we all dream about. Every other conceivable possibility lies
between them. Somewhere near the center of the curve most people
will find their most probable possibility in which the
monumental moment will pass quietly like Y2K and their lives
will appear to continue as if nothing happened at all. December
22, 2012 will dawn as clocks continue to tick and the human race
continues to move one day closer to whatever future harvest it
has sown. That doesn't mean that many other people, who live
their lives at the extremities of the curve, won't experience
radically different events.
Imagine if you will, that you are in the center of a vast
central train station. The tracks are arranged like the spokes
of a giant wheel, each moving away from the center in a
different direction. The trains are all scheduled to depart at
the same moment on December 21, 2012. Every human being on Earth
is at the station; free to board any of the trains he or she
chooses. Each train is destined for a different parallel
universe in which one of the innumerable possibilities is played
out.
You (like everyone else) are at the station free to board any
one of an almost infinite number of trains. But, like the
psychic, you can only see one or two of them. Your choices
appear meager -- almost as if you had no choice at all and your
future was determined totally by fate. Such is not the case at
all -- unless, of course, you want it to be.
If you remember the station scene in the Harry Potter books (or
movies) in which the wizard children were able to board the
Hogwarts Express on platform 9 3/4 by walking straight through a
concrete pillar, then you will begin to see how all this works.
What is delightfully easy for wizards is equally impossible for
muggles (non-wizards).
The Hogwarts Express is bound for the next dimension -- the
Golden Age of our dreams. The problem is that until you become a
wizard, you have no way of finding the right platform. The
world, as you know it, will definitely end on December 21, 2012,
if that's what you choose. You will definitely be there when it
happens, boarding one of the infinite number of trains leaving
the station. Every one of us will be required to be on board.
Now that you know where you will be on the day the world ends,
you get to decide which train you'd like to ride. There is still
time (according to the calendars of this illusion) before the
trains must leave the station. Plenty of time for you to leave
your muggle world behind and become the wizard you already are.
The choice, as always, is yours.
