There's a lot of talk as we approach 2012 about shifts in consciousness; energy paradigms changing, crumbling and reestablishing into a new spirituality, but what does it actually mean?
I often think those of us committed to a spiritual path are masters at our own spin. We talk of the evolution of consciousness and the 2012 energy like some great God will descend from the heavens and 'do' something to humanity to make the 'good' ones more enlightened and the 'bad' ones... I'm not even sure, disappear? And in this emerging time of unity and oneness, how are we still so deeply attached to this idea of duality? To the idea that we, the awakened ones, shall be rewarded for being "good"? (maybe my inner Santa is being triggered!)
Ok, so my point is perhaps there is more we need to be doing to create this shift in consciousness ourselves. This marked period in history for which we've all been waiting in anticipation to see what those Mayan's were really getting at is less likely to be a passive event for humanity, and more an awareness that our awakening depends on us. We are integral to the very spark of creative consciousness and that flicker of evolutionary impulse that we're all so desperately waiting for. We're it. And in this knowledge that this spark of consciousness is not 'out there' but within each and every one of us, what are we going to do to ensure it catches alight? Shall we continue to talk of airy spiritual ideals and shifts of unseen energy or shall we step firmly on the planet and test our human metal? Shall we act in our own personal ways by standing up and facing our deepest fears and vulnerabilities in the face of rejection? Shall we show up for those we love (and more importantly, those we don't) by being open, honest about how we feel? Shall we take a deep breath and communicate from our heart when we want to retract and close down in the presence of pain and fear?
This shift in human consciousness is up to us, in a very real and pragmatic way.
We hold the key to the evolution of humanity, not some mythic wave of magic; us. But it takes courage to push the boundaries of what we understand humanity to be. It takes a hyper-vigilant consciousness of each and every action in which we engage. It takes a new way of being in this world to allow the potential of our race to reach its highest aspiration, and it takes a very personal recognition that each of us are imperative in the manifestation of this, our next phase of human consciousness.
