\"rapture<\/a>Despite lots of hysteria in some circles over Comet Elenin<\/a>\u00a0as a harbinger of doom, and more predictions by evangelical preacher Harold Camping that the world w<\/a>ould erupt in flames\u00a0on October 21st – we are still here. \u00a0Comet Elenin broke down into small pieces <\/a>as it zipped by Earth, and with the disintegration of the comet the theory that Elenin was actually Niburu, the lost planet disintegrated as well. \u00a0And Mr. Camping’s prediction that the apocalypse would occur yesterday appears to have been incorrect – for the third time. \u00a0Now that is persistence!!<\/p>\n

We seem to be in the midst of more “end of the world” hysteria than at any time since the Millenium. \u00a0Perhaps this is because as word spreads of the end of the Mayan calendar on the Winter Solstice 2012 it becomes tempting to frame the concept of “the end of the world” in our own reality. \u00a0For Christians perhaps it’s the Rapture; for conspiracy theorists it is the return of our brethren from space. \u00a0For followers of New Age spirituality it’s Ascension into other dimensions.<\/p>\n

There’s no doubt that there is an acceleration of energy as we hurtle more completely into the Age of Aquarius. \u00a0The shift of Uranus, ruling electromagnetic energy, into Aries which is so dynamic and\u00a0initiatory\u00a0has intensified the experience of human life. \u00a0It’s impossible to deny that Something Important is happening on the planet, but the experience is larger than anything we can hold in our human brains. \u00a0But still we try.<\/p>\n

I could be wrong, but I don’t believe that the world will end on the Winter Solstice next year. \u00a0But I do believe that life as we know it, and civilization as we have understood it, is undergoing a major transformation. \u00a0For many people, having lost their jobs and their homes, the world as they know it has already ended. \u00a0And now something new must take its place.<\/p>\n

The next three years are an important time for humans on planet Earth under the influence of the square formation of Uranus and Pluto, just as the 1960s were during the conjunction of those two transformational forces. \u00a0Not one of us will be left unchanged. \u00a0But is that the end of the world? \u00a0For some perhaps – but it is also a new beginning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
