Much has been written about the geophysical and cosmic shift that is taking place now as humanity heads towards December 21 2012, the time of the galactic alignment when the December solstice sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Much has also been written about the weakening of the earth's magnetic fields and the reversal of the poles. Much more has been written about the apocalyptic last days these changes might produce: deadly and dramatic changes in climate, widespread radiation-induced cancers, and deadly cosmic rays. That we are already facing the grim realities of war, genocide, depleted resources, and economic disasters points to a strong likelihood that the great shift will end up as the last days. However, writers who have looked at the prospect of the last days have chosen to see this shift as a time of great awakening. Their visions have been presented in a 2007 publication entitled The Mystery of 2012: Predictions, Prophets and Possibilities.
The Shift towards Ancient Wisdom: the Mayan Galactic Code, the I Ching and the Book of Revelations.
Jose Arguelles Ph.D. considers the shift as a time of transformation, when man will awaken from the illusion of a technological utopia by questioning the viability of technology that has brought our planet so close to destruction. Man will reject the mass mind that has opted for governments, institutions and mechanical conveniences, choosing instead the path beyond technology. He predicts a return to the ancient wisdom established in the systems of the Mayan Galactic Code, the I Ching and the Book of Revelations through which man will open his heart to receive information from intelligent life forms in other dimensions (70-74).
A New Earth of Synchronicity, Telepathy and Spiritual Power
Daniel Pinchbeck, however, embraces technology in his vision of the new earth as a tool that will influence man's inner experience of identity and self. He sees the Internet as an expression of the shift in psyche that is already taking place. With the weakening of earth's magnetic fields, man is becoming more psychically attuned to a responsive and intelligent universe. More people are beginning to have experiences of synchronicity, telepathy and manifestations of thought. The Internet, a technology that literally manifests thoughts within seconds, has become an apt metaphor and tool for real development in man's psychic power (332-333).
The Shift towards a New Being, New Human DNA
Barbara Marx Hubbard considers the shift as an expansion of consciousness when man will step into an evolutionary jump towards the emergence of a new species, a new being that is multidimensional, possessing expanded capacities for empathy, understanding and enlightenment. This new being, she suggests, is the new humanity that will arrive because" [man] will reach critical mass for this human by 2012"(357). Similarly, Meg Blackburn Losey Ph.D. views the shift as a time when human DNA will be activated to release ancient memories of man's latent powers (367-68).
Much encouragement is generated by these new visions regarding 2012. It is probable that man's search for solutions to the grim realities of the 21st century will become the basis of a new earth.
