This is what underpins all life in this physical world of matter.

The old is transformed into the new. Its not so much an ending but more of a continuation of life at a different level. Focus on the end of the physical world as we know it is a product of of old thinking which sees life through the lens of external power and dominance over others and our external environments.

On a larger scale our individual lives continue to be impacted by larger cycles ending and beginning. The history of evolution reveals the bigger picture. Evolution is designed to compliment these cycles – big cycles and great cycles that operate throughout the known and unknown universe. These cycles move through physical form at different speeds and serve different purposes including a balancing of energies.

We are currently in the process of a significant cycle of change which has been predicted to reach culmination in December 2012. Coinciding with this change will be a significant astrological realignment. The changes comprises the end of a 2,000 year cycle, a 25,000 year cycle and a 125,000 year cycle. They also more importantly signify the start of brand new cycles and give us the opportunity to begin again at a higher level.

For a more in depth discussion of these cycles I recommend Greg Braden’s “Fractal Time”.

For humanity this is the opportunity to release the negativity which has accumulated over the last 2,000 plus years and to start living our lives free of fear and doubt through consciously and responsibly choosing to respond to life’s experiences as powerful spiritual beings.

This is the vertical path represented by the image of “Jesus on the Cross” – the intersection between five sensory living and spirit based living. Those that resist change and continue on the horizontal road will become more and more out of step with this evolutionary process and will experience difficulty, pain and suffering.

Those who are prepared to live more consciously and practice a receptive and flexibe approach to the changes around them will travel the vertical path of authentic personal empowerment and will contribute not only to their personal evolution but also to global tranformation.

This is the road of love, compassion and trust.

Now is the time to take stock of where you stand on the road.
