Hi Mams/Dads
This is a question for those that are into spirituality.
For years leading up to 2012 I heard that it was going to be the year where we would all be enlighten.
A new natural way of living would come. We would become more spiritually aware etc.
I expected it to be all light,roses and rainbows lol .
Instead I find this year quite intense and stressful.
Anyone know whats going on.
B. k

What can I do next?

Thanks for replies so far x

Hi you are right 2012 is a year of enlightenment and spiritual awaking and those that are ready/open will be able to experience it and go forward. However in doing so we must let go of old beliefs/habits and be open to live more from the heart than the head/logically which will not be easy and will unearth strong feelings and is why you are feeling stress/tension/intensity. We will also be experiencing the quickening of time, this year will go faster than any previously which can feel stressful. Meditation is a great way to help you through the stress and upheaval of emotions and to be more mindful of living through the heart. Try a class a spiritual based one or a book/CD.
The great awakening is about all of us cracking open. There's no point in continuing to try and hold it all together. The truth about who we are and what we have the power to create in this world IS going to be known. We can either let go and accept this evolutionary process we are going through, and move through it with relative ease and grace, or we can hold on tightly, resisting our true selves every step of the way, causing great discomfort, struggle, and chaos.
What would it mean to know that we are powerful and worthy? What would it mean to know that we are the creators of it ALL — that we are that powerful? What would it mean to know that we are in fact, the light of God?

This is where we are being asked to go: into this new world. Into this new identity. But that is a frightening prospect for many of us. If we are to believe that what we've identified with for eons about ourselves is untrue,then who would we be otherwise? Loss of identity can be terrifying. If we are to give up such long-held, deeply ingrained beliefs, how will we survive? Will we survive? Can we withsatnd our hearts breaking open and feeling the pain of our ignorance and the joy of our new-found salvation?

This is where many of us fear to tread. We think we won't survive our feelings, our power, our worthiness. But we will. It is written. It is our destiny. The world of duality, the only one most of us have ever known, is coming to an end. And it's ending in our minds. No, the earth is not going to explode and disappear. It is ending through the power of our minds to create something else. Something based on new beliefs about what and who we are. Something that feels more like oneness and unity, and less like fear and separation. As we move into this new awareness, like magic, our eyes will begin to see a new world. It is here the ancient prophecy of old telling of a new world, a new people, will come to light. It is US. It is WE. We are emerging from the chrysalis of transformation to a freedom beyond our wildest imagination..

I always feel more enlightened during or after times of difficulty. Joy does not stretch you, or make you grow. It simply feeds you. Adversity, is where the growth happens. Adversity, is often how we find enlightenment.

It's just life that is going on. I am spiritual, but am not thinking that 2012 is a time of doom. It's a time of new beginnings...whatever that means to you. Now that you are aware of what is going on in your life....do something to change it. Now is a good time!

Hi B.-

I cannot speak to 2012 as being a particular 'year of enlightenment'...some folks have predicted the 'end of time'...again...

BUT, I can say...when looking back over the soon to be 53 years of MY life...it was without a doubt during intense, stressful...and downright sorrow filled times that I experience the most spiritual an personal growth.

I would suggest that, even if you cannot 'embrace' what you are dealing with now...Please have my personal assurance...that with the 'tincture of time', you will be able to look back and see your growth.

That's spiritual too...yes?

Best Luck!

Living in the "spirit" is extremely challenging as you can see.

I do believe there has been quite a bit of enlightenment so far, it's just that we all have different watts in our bulbs :)

Several Catholic saints of the recent past have spoken about a coming "illumination of conscience" when God will allow everyone on Earth to see the state of their souls as He sees them.

And then there are the church approved Marian apparitions such as those at Akita, Japan, Kibeho, Rwanda (right before the genocide there) and Fatima, Portugal (right before WWI).... Mary warns us of bad times ahead and the urgent need for repentance and conversion... Not to metion the Marian apparitions at Medjugorje which have been going on continuosly since 1981. Something is going to happen in the lifetime of the 6 visionaries, and they are now in their 40s.

Mark Mallett's blog covers a lot of that info.. a good place to start to learn more.

Sounds like another Dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
We had a lot of disappointed people around here when the Rapture didn't pan out as predicted.
No doubt some people will wig out as the whole Mayan calendar disaster date approaches.
Just take one day after the other.

It's an election year?! Enlightenment can't happen during campaigns, can it? ;)

I say you can only control your own positivity and can't expect much from anyone else but just be pleasantly surprised when it does occur.

Embrace the good and avoid the ugly. B. K can be enlightened even if no one else is :)
