Preparing for the 2012 Earth Transition
by wah!

The earth is in transition and you’re living on it. The Mayan calendars, the Egyptian calendars, the Precession of Astrological Signs through the sky, all indicate that we are living through the transition of the ages. Dannion Brinkley puts it this way: “We’re in the last (two) years of a 26,000 year cycle and there ain’t nothing you can do about it.”* You are participating in the earth’s moment of transition. A moment for the Earth, when talking about a cycle of 25,000 years, is probably longer than the span of your lifetime.

Will the earth end? No, probably not for another billion years or so. If you’ve read about cycles of history in Gregg Braden’s work, you will find archeological digs dating back to 14,000 BC and the Vostok ice core taken from the depths of Antarctica in 1999 showing the Earth’s activity for the past 420,000 years.+ The prophecies which indicate the possibility of a third world war, nuclear obliteration, and natural disaster are there, but their outcome is not. Many natural disasters are cataclysmic but don’t obliterate the entire human species. If we eliminate ourselves, the Earth will renew and begin again without us, as it has for thousands of years before.

What we are living through is the transition from the old age to the new age. Think of it like a birthday – every year the sun returns to the same position in the sky as it was when you were born. In astrology it’s called a solar return. This gives you the opportunity to review the past year and consider how far you’ve come, what things you wished you had or hadn’t done, where you want to go from here. The Earth is having a big birthday – a 26,000 year milestone – so it (and you) can consider how far it has come, what things it has or hasn’t experienced and where it wants to go from here. In that 26,000 year span, you’ve probably incarnated and reincarnated – oh I don’t know, say 36,000 times – and what have you achieved in all that span of lifetimes? You were a carpenter, a laborer, a king, a milkmaid, a wife, court musician, war general, a blacksmith… And in all that time, what did you learn?

Can you see that being alive at this time in history as the Earth completes its solar return will activate every pattern of behavior, every seed of neurosis, every core emotional issue you have ever had, to come forth and be healed? And how will these issues be activated? Through a shift in physical circumstances.

Dannion Brinkley describes his near-death experience: ‘I never believed in any of this New Age stuff. Then I died. The next day I became everything I never believed in.”* We attach our identity to physical circumstances (having a body, our job, our friends and family); when that is taken away, our identity goes into crisis and reevaluation. So perhaps like Dannion you will lose your body and get it back, lose your house to foreclosure, have your identity stolen online… something will rock your world and shake it at its foundation. And you’ll be face to face with your core issues – those beliefs you have carried around with you for centuries, lifetime to lifetime. You’ve been carrying them around like precious cargo. Now is the time to change those beliefs.

This is your work, to purify your core seed of existence. It’s your work, not mine. My friend James has a sign in his bathroom, “I am trying to live my life, a feat so difficult it has never before been attempted.” I am so busy dealing with my own core issues, I can’t keep track of yours or tell you how to proceed in your healing. But I do know that if you pray - if you sincerely acknowledge how deep your issue is, and how it comes up again and again, gnawing at your well-being and ability to embrace this life – if you sincerely pray for guidance the Universe will bend over backwards to send information, people and circumstances to help you.

These transitions are windows for change. You wanted to be here at this time in history, you chose an incarnation so you could be alive during the shift. Oh come on, admit it, you’re even a little bit excited about being here at this time in history. You will learn more in this lifetime than any other lifetime yet. You will learn and cleanse and purify aspects of your soul you never thought possible.

When egg and sperm unite in a woman’s body, a huge transition begins in preparation for new life. The woman’s body purges and purifies to make way for the higher vibration to live in her. The man and woman purify their beings through meditation and service, in order to attract the highest vibration of soul possible for this new seed they have created. It is a time of letting go – the end of late night parties, the end of movie nights or whatever your social life was up to that point, the end of youth. As you become the parent, you get to contemplate and consider all the parenting you have experienced in your life, and try to purify it into a suitable vibration for yourself and your new baby. As the dawn of the new age comes for the Earth, we purge the old. We have a window of opportunity in these next few years to reset our vibration, our karmic attraction point, our evolution in alignment with Light and Love.

The Earth transition causes us to be in social relationship differently. Scientist and philosopher Nassim Haramein describes this time in history as a time of moving away from competitive behavior into a spirit of cooperation.** New paradigms in business, new partnerships, new ecological breakthroughs require new systems and methods of communication. New connections in personal relationship arise in a cooperative society - families of two children living with a single parent, or six children from different partners with two parental figures not necessarily their own, adoption, singles living together, couples and one single, friendships, neighborly helpers – many of these situations are brought about by disaster or change. Children orphaned by tragedy or war, neighbors suddenly helping each other after an earthquake, friends living together because one of them lost a house to foreclosure… the Universe is infinite in its expressions. The point of it all is to trigger us – into new ways of being.

If you are alive on the planet right now, you are participating in the biggest birthday ever. December 21, 2012 is the Winter Solstice extravaganza Earth Birthday to end all birthdays date, but it’s the time period leading up to this date that’s the juicy part. You can clear karmas, change your mind, change your heart – really change your heart, not read about it, not think about it – change from the core, from the inside out. Whatever you’re going through now is your opportunity to recalibrate your mind and heart. Don’t think of it like - oh no I’ll never make it– well you can and you may very well feel that way, because the fear shows you just hit a nerve (it’s a good sign). If you weren’t hitting a nerve, I’d say you hadn’t gotten down to your core issue yet. But while you’re shaking in your boots, think of it as an opportunity to recalibrate your whole seed issue running through lifetimes of incarnations. And then do it, fake it, go out there and be someone new. The Universe will guide you because it sees how courageous and fragile you are and how much you sincerely want to be aligned with Light. Pray. Pray! The Earth is one big vibrational field ready to respond to your vibrational prayer. Peace to all, light to all, love to all.
