Three Simple Strategies For Riding The Waves Through 2012
Ah, those were simpler days, when all our troubles seemed resolvable by a magic bullet. No longer. Today, through forces seemingly beyond our control, we're pressed to dig deep for the answers to a suddenly kaleidoscopic array of strange and bewildering dilemmas. Economic stability, or lack thereof. World peace, or what's left of it. Peace of mind, but only when heavily sedated. Physical wellbeing, challenged by waves of cosmic energy ripping through us with awesomely accelerating intensity. Why is it that everyone and everything, including ourselves, all of a sudden seems to be splitting apart at the seams? For many who study cosmic cycles, it's patently obvious that the end times are upon us— and that our planet is undergoing some heavy changes centering on the year 2012 that have been prophesied in scriptures and wisdom traditions the world over. Earlier this year, the Hopi nation, famous for their detailed prophecy of the end times, released a short official video about this truly wild period of history. While certainly not rose-colored as to the extraordinary challenges of these times, ultimately the Hopi message is one of— pun intended—hope. These times, say the Hopi elders, involve a "return to connecting our heart with the heart of the path to the future." Stated otherwise, the message is that we must regain an inner balance with all of nature, starting with ourselves. We must travel from the inner to the outer when balancing our- selves and the world—a dual process that must occur in that order. In other words, to heal and transform the world, we must first be willing to heal and transform ourselves. If we start by healing and transforming ourselves, we can survive, and even thrive, through the 2011-13 window of personal and planetary transfiguration. The end times that are upon us, then, simultaneously constitute a beginning— one holding the possibility of a genuine rebirth for Mother Earth and all her children. According to Vedic texts, in fact, we've reached the very nadir of planetary darkness, known as the Kali Yuga, and there's literally nowhere to go but back into the light. In other words, cosmically speaking, things simply have to start looking up, sooner rather than later. Below, I outline three simple strategies— which you can adopt in your own way— for participating as co-creators with and riding on top of the tremendous waves of galactic energy sweeping our world, instead of being swept under by them: Strategy 1: Stay in the Moment But for those new to this concept, or in need of a refresher, the energy of love— rather, the actual experience of loving energy—is so potent that, by itself, it can heal and transform the body, mind, and spirit. Moreover, and especially important these days, love can, and does, protect us from that which weakens the body, mind, and spirit: fear. As to what may or may not happen tomorrow, we have little direct control over that. Best to "let go and let God" and focus on enhancing our lives (as well as those around us) with the most powerful energy available. Strategy 2: Be More, Do Less "Now we've got to adapt to increasing Source energies beginning to flow through us, our bodies and brains like it never has before while in physical bodies. Now we're learning to DO by BEING; to understand by knowing on our own internally and not externally through other beings, guides, channels or sources." The point here, as I understand it, is not to do nothing. Rather, the point is to be entirely present when doing anything—and to only do things that merit our being entirely present. As much as anything else, being more and doing less can help us stay in the Moment where love is. And love can do all the rest. Strategy 3: Turn on, Tune in, Drop out By "turn on," I mean put yourself in a receptive mode to receive intuitive guidance about your life choices from your Higher Self. Your Higher Self is like a Hall of Fame coach who can take you to the promised land if you can simply let go of your ego long enough to listen. By "tune in," I mean actively open to this guidance—through prayer, meditation, creativity, exercise, or simply being. Above all, you must have the intention to tune in to the wisdom of your Higher Self. And by "drop out," I mean cut out whatever might be creating static—whether that's TV, texting, Internet news, or "fear porn"—in your connection with your Higher Self. Once we connect with our Higher Self, much becomes clear and much progress in our healing and transformation can be made as we implement our inner guidance. Copyright © 2012 by Sol Luckman.
