Don’t Wait For 2012
THE SHIFT IS NOW!
By Jack Allis
The Earth has entered an exceedingly rare geophysical and astrophysical age, known as The Shift or The Great Shift of the Ages. It is the completion of a 26,000-year cycle, which was well understood, and predicted by ancient cultures spanning the globe, including the Mayans, the Hopis and the Egyptians. The Shift involves forces of colossal magnitude, such as the reversing of the Earth’s magnetic poles, and its entrance into a vast intergalactic energy field, known as The Photon Belt. In general, The Shift involves shifting the Earth’s vital energies, and forces that have the potential to change the face of the planet, and life on it, forever. I have heard both December 12, 2012 and December 21, 2012 cited as the specific dates for the turn-over point for The Shift, kind of like the clock striking midnight on New Year’s Eve. These dates also correspond to when the Mayan calendar ended.

There is much debate, confusion and disagreement regarding these specific time frames. When you consider the multitude of diverse and ancient sources, as well as the vast length of the time periods involved, it is reasonable to assume that there is a significant margin of error regarding these predictions. Much of this information is also derived from the oral traditions of these ancient cultures, which can be imprecise. Besides, there’s no reason we should trust the accuracy of our Gregorian calendar any more than anything else.
My friend Cayelin Castell, Co-Founder of the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School, informs me that from the point of view of Shamanic Astrology, The Shift is a more gradual process, lasting in the neighborhood of 150 years, and that we are currently just past the midpoint. The 26,000 year period is called The Great Wheel of Time, which is the time it takes the Solstices and Equinoxes to pass through all the constellations, and return to a starting point. The Earth is currently at the end of this cycle, and the 150 year period is the time the Earth is aligned to certain key points in the heavens before the cycle starts over. (see http://www.celestialtimings.com/).
At the time of this writing, October 2007, that would seem to be the case. The Shift appears to be well underway. One clear manifestation of this is the dramatic increase in extreme weather, earthquake, volcano and tsunami activity. The Earth is feeling it.
Another is the shocking move toward fascist world government that is taking place throughout the world, spearheaded by America and Europe. The hidden powers that rule the world are well aware of The Shift and of the energetic forces that are at work, and they are doing everything possible to make sure these changes don’t upset the apple cart of their power structure. Essential components of this are keeping the human race enslaved, unaware of what’s happening, and dependent upon them for their survival under any and all circumstances.
People are also feeling these energy shifts in their bodies. The world feels different, more intense. Time itself seems like it’s either speeding up or slowing down. People are feeling things they‘ve never felt before, and it can feel both enlightening and overwhelming. Many people sense that things are going haywire, often to the point where they feel like they‘re losing their marbles, but this is only because they lack a frame of reference for what’s really happening. As always, understanding dispels fear.
It’s a pretty good guess that things are going to get quite a bit more intense in the years ahead. Its probably going to get a lot worse before it can get better, and the chaos that results might be just what is needed to shake things up, and help create real change. Some of this may be caused by humanity, and some not. On the man-made side, certainly the world economy, built as it is on the vacuous foundation of fiat paper money and mountains of unpayable debt, could topple at any time, with a ripple effect that would be felt by all. On the non-man-made side, it is a fact that the north and south magnetic poles reverse themselves on the order of every 26,000 years, perhaps even more frequently. And we are being told this is due to happen. If it does, the technological infrastructure of the world would certainly wobble severely, if not collapse.
Yet, my purpose here is not to fan the flames of doomsday scenarios. Quite the contrary. Again, perhaps chaos is just what is needed to cleanse the Earth, and its human inhabitants, and create the opportunity to create the new world. Whether The Shift hits its apex on 12/12/12, or before, or after, or whether there even is an apex, doesn’t make any difference. It’s happening, and it’s happening now. It’s time for us to gear up, and prepare ourselves to ride the wave of these forces, rather than be submerged in them.
One thing is for certain: we are living in a time with the potential for unprecedented transformation. And the outcome of all this is by no means certain. It could go either way. Many people believe these are the end-times that were predicted in the Bible. Then, there are also those of us who see this challenge as a blessing, and a monumental opportunity to create the new paradigm.
The solution, which too many might seem terrifying and overwhelming, is really quite simple. It all comes back to us. The fate of the planet rests in our hands. Changing the world starts with changing ourselves. In order to create the new paradigm we must do a few exceedingly important things. We must reclaim our minds and our spirits, and we must take back responsibility for the world we create. We must wake up to the fact that we have allowed ourselves to be duped by the hidden powers that rule the world into seeing the world the way they want us to, instead of the way it really is. And we must align ourselves with the shifting energies in the world, so that rather than being overwhelmed by them, we are in harmony with them.
And there’s nothing new about any of this. The primary reason the world is so messed up is because humanity has allowed itself to become unplugged. We have lost our connection to life’s vital energies, and to the rhythm and flow of life. When enough of us reestablish that connection, we become a force that cannot be stopped. This is what is known as critical mass. I am going to deal more extensively with critical mass in my next blog.
As Robert Ghost Wolf, a Hopi elder, reminds us in Last Cry - Native American Prophesies & Tales of the End Times (www.wolflodge.org/bluestar/bluestar.htm):
"No living thing will go untouched, here or in the heavens. The way through this time it is said is to be found in our hearts, and reuniting with our spiritual self. Getting simple and returning to living with and upon the Earth and in harmony with her creatures. Remembering that we are the caretakers, the fire keepers of the spirit. Our relatives from the Stars are coming home to see how well we have faired in our journey."
