Born in the fear of German missiles and culminating in the 1960's Space Race, space exploration has been muddled by militaristic and nationalistic overtones. Now that the experience of spaceflight is merely $200,000 and a waiting list away, what kind of transformation will be sparked by the successive crops of space-travellers returning to Earth? (more)

Plato says that at one time Atlantis was a wondrous civilization, but it angered the gods through its arrogance, pride, and cruelty. The planet, which itself is a god, responded to this by striking Atlantis down. Our civilization today looks very much like the next Atlantis. But my point is, it doesn't have to be that way. We have choices.  (more)

Every culture has a Story of the People to give meaning to the world. We are entering a new phase in the dissolution of our Story and of the edifice of civilization built on top of it. We do not have a new story yet. Here and there we see patterns emerging, but the new mythos has not yet emerged. We will abide for a time in the space between stories. (more)

Though the mainstream media, predictably, has ridiculed the 2012 doomsday straw man they themselves set up, the classic Maya did accurately foresee our time as the crux of a planetary transition.  We are the ones who have arrived at this juncture -- and we are the ones who will decide whether, or how, human civilization will continue.

The modern world is divided between reason and faith, as if there is no alternative to these two extremes of scientific certainty and blind trust. But there is another very simple and powerful form of knowing. This is the knowing that comes from personal experience. (more)

Sandy supports what I have been writing for years about this time as one of intense transformation and planetary initiation. At the end of the process, we will either have transformed as a species and reached a new level of consciousness, or we will be on our way toward extinction. The choice is ours to make. (more)

This is the crucial moment for our species, and we have to give it everything we've got. Ayahuasca is moving out in the world and making new covenants. Maybe it wants to make contact with these strange new minds and to co-evolve with us. I'm afraid it's going to get it, whether it wants it or not. (more)

The material base of civilization is rapidly eroding. As the illusion of unlimited material progress gives way, we find that the only thing we truly possess is our own experience, our state of mind and inner being. The jewels and precious metals that industries mine from underground are irrelevant compared to our jewel-like nature.  (more)

As a world consciousness we are on the first wave of the new era.  Looking back over major social transitions for the last two millennia, this is the first time in history such a shift involves the entire world. We are united in the great collective unconscious, but that is now becoming increasingly the collective consciousness. (more)

I recently attended a ceremony on "the healing of money." Immediately a vivid image popped into my head of a man, vast and muscular, bound to the earth with stakes and tethers, straining with every atom of his strength to free himself and rise up. I knew that the man represented the divine masculine and his bonds were made of money. (more)

We have tried occupying Wall Street. Now let us create new streets without walls. Wall Street will fall of its own dead weight. Let us choose the unknown, not the known exhausted ways of the past; let us give Gaia a good reason to allow us to continue our project of conscious existence as beings of peace, benevolence, and loving unity.

Whatever '2012' is, why not make it as positive as it possibly can be? Join in visualizing the Rainbow Bridge this December 21st at 11:11am UT on the Moment Of Peace. At the very least, it will be a pleasant and uplifting mediation and it might just be the birth moment of a new species called Homo Telepathicus. (more)

People hate being conned, which militates against accepting something as mind-blowing as the crop circles could be. What can subsume that concern is an appreciation for the realm of mystery. In fact, being open to what we don't know is good for us.  (more)

Now is the time for us to become visionary shamans, to become more thoughtful and heart-centered in our treatment of the earth and her resources. We must make conscious evolutionary changes. We can do it because we have imaginal cells that are ready and waiting to transform our being, to create a paradigm shift of seeing and being in the world. (more)

The Occupy movement is the most recent example of the collective mind beginning to center on love-consciousness.  Thousands of years of heart-centered practices are beginning to influence current patterns of activity.  Transformative spiritual principles and methods are becoming more easily known.

2012 offers the opportunity to relate to time differently. What if we could live without holding a perception of having failed in the past, and so stop that imagined "failure" from imposing upon our present? What if the power we already have could be recognized and awakened? (more)

We are learning to become cocreators of the Shift through a variety of processes and practices, but we still face the larger question: Will humanity be able to act in time to tip the scales in favor of a positive future at the global level, given the rapid escalation of problems that threaten our survival?
