As we all know there is a good deal of hoopala and sensationalism surrounding the approach of\u00a0 2012. TV shows and movies love to put the special effects boys into overdrive and\u00a0show supersized tsunami’s swamping the\u00a0Statue of Liberty or Mt. Everest.\u00a0In fact, it\u00a0reminds me of what the sinking of Atlantis might have looked like.<\/p>\n
But if you can embrace\u00a0whole heartedly the fact that we are co-creators of our own reality—then it\u00a0is imperative that an alternative, more enlightened version of the events that are unfolding be presented and popularized<\/em>. The public dialogue needs to focus on what we really know 2012\u00a0can be and is meant to be—an awesome\u00a0change of consciousness<\/p>\n The big message that everyone must hear and\u00a0 understand\u2014the message that needs to be put out to all the world —is that 2012\u2014is the time when an old cycle of time ends and a new one begins—And\u00a0\u00a0the old time that’s ending is the time of our exile from the spiritual realms\u2014and the new dawn that is upon us is the time when heightened human \u00a0consciousness will be characterized by a reconnection to the Source, or spiritual realms. \u00a0Or in other words, We\u00a0must ALL focus on our re-entry into Eden, but at a higher level than when we left.<\/p>\n The remarkable European spiritual scientist, Rudolf Steiner, who lived at the turn of the century, described \u00a0humanity\u2019s cosmic evolution.\u00a0 He said that the Fall from Paradise (he often used Christian terms) as described in the book of Genesis is a metaphor for the human spirit\u2019s descent into the realm of density and matter.\u00a0He said we began as spirit beings in a Spiritual cosmos and to that shall we return, but at a higher level of consciousness.<\/p>\n The collection of spiritual beings that comprise the human species, Steiner says, slowly decended or condensed or hardened into materiality over many eons.\u00a0 As humans fell into density, we were assisted or hindered on all sides by other beings\u2026we intermingled and still do with a myriad of Beings that are undergoing similar evolutionary processes but are either ahead or behind us in development. Each group of evolving beings whether it be humans, or angels or leprechauns, a planetary being such as Ella, the Earth– rock people, plant people or what have —each has a distinct, unique form of consciousness.<\/p>\n Earlier in the Earth evolution of the human spirit, (which evolves through incarnation after incarnation)\u00a0 \u00a0Steiner said humans had a much more clairvoyant form of consciousness than exists today and very different bodies from what we might imagine.\u00a0I refer now to the state of humanity\u00a0in the fabled Atlantis.<\/p>\n Our bodies in Atlantis were much more soft and subtle than they are today.\u00a0 We had no bone, only cartilage-like material as our hardest, most dense tissues. Morover, the planet itself was a much less hardened reality.\u00a0 It was, in a\u00a0real manner of speaking, a much more ethereal-esque realm.\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0atmostphere and physical reality of Atlantis was totally unlike what archeologists or geologists or any scientist might imagine.\u00a0 The ground was less hard and the atmosphere was like a dense gaseous water vapor.\u00a0But\u00a0slowly over time, our bodies condensed, densified, hardened and our consciousness\u00a0was cut off from the Spirit realms.\u00a0\u00a0The great Atlantean epic ended with \u00a0the catasrophe that caused the vapors to condense into water, causing the Great Flood. Humans sought refuge\u00a0on the\u00a0new continents that formed after Atlantis sank\u00a0and we entered another phase of evolution.<\/p>\n The ancient clairvoyant consciousness of Atlantis\u00a0allowed\u00a0humans to \u201csee\u201d and interact with various beings who were more powerful and controlling than\u00a0\u00a0humans of that era. Human consciousness was DULL–\u00a0similar to what we now experience as the dream state of consciousness.\u00a0 Or we might say that human consciousness was similar to\u00a0 animal\u00a0consciousness which has a waking perception of reality but in contrast to human consciousness the animals have little of what we know as self-consciousness or egohood and\u00a0 little of what we know as logic, memory\u00a0and free will. The animal consciousness is focused instead on satisfying very basic desires and needs, based upon instinctual urges.\u00a0And if god-like human’s want to put them in a cock fight or throw them live into the sea for shark bait….what power does an animal have to put a stop to this tyrany?\u00a0\u00a0So it was\u00a0when\u00a0humans\u00a0 lived as spirits during their night-time, awake to\u00a0god-like beings. And when\u00a0humans\u00a0“awoke,” they–in a manner of speaking–crawled into the shell of their physical body and rested from the night’s action, somewhat like inhabiting the shell of a snail!\u00a0And during this daytime\u00a0rest–consciousness was, as I said–DULLER still than the nighttime dream time.<\/p>\n Steiner said that the ancient time when we lived in\u00a0this dream like state at night\u2014this ancient time was the origin of the myths of the Gods, such as are found in so many world mythologies, such as the Greek pantheon of the Gods of Olympus or the Norse Valhalla because earlier in our evolution we were not cut off from the many other categories of beings of the universe and in fact, human did experience quite profound, powerful god-like beings. We are now and always have been\u00a0\u00a0 evolving side by side with such beings but today, for the most part, human consciousness has so utterly changed its focus, we are in a manner of speaking, in exile from the spirit realms.<\/p>\n Indeed, Steiner says, it was necessary for the old clairvoyance\u2014when we could \u201csee\u201d the intelligences in Nature and elsewhere- this old clairvoyance had to die in order for humanity to attain a higher state of self-awareness, self reliance, will power self-responsibility, intelligence and powers of reason.<\/p>\n Some cultures did not let go of this ancient clairvoyance and many individuals still have access to this kind of clairvoyance. For instance, the Australian Aborigines are famous for their “DreamTime” awareness.<\/p>\n But in order to develop further, the masses of humanity had to be cut off from these perceptions.The Fall into density and matter afforded the human spirit a kind of independent field of activity. It has given humans the opportunity to learn the lessons of Good and Evil and duality \u00a0and to realize that it is sheer existential misery to be separated from the One Source, and Divine Intelligence.<\/p>\n The main lesson we are learning is the lesson of the Logic of Love\u2014the utter reasonableness of being good to each other\u2026.which allows humans to learn to live collectively in the spirit of harmony, cooperation and balance\u2026and will allow us to return to the Spiritual Realms as mature, self conscious, independent co-creative, responsible citizens in a spiritual cosmos.<\/p>\n So, this time of 2012 is a time when we must arise as a species and attain a higher level of cosmic consciousness. It\u00a0is our birthright and destiny .<\/p>\n To quote\u00a0Grandmother Parisha on this topic of our return to Eden: \u201cThe deeper into density we run\u2014the greater the joy when we lift out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As we all know there is a good deal of hoopala and sensationalism surrounding the approach of\u00a0 2012.
