Is the ‘Shift’ Coming?
by Laura Norman
Do a search right now and you’ll find an avalanche of information, opinion and warnings about the 2012 ‘phenomena’. Countless books, movies, websites, blogs and TV shows are feeding our desire to make sense of long standing ancient prophecies predicting huge shifts, ranging from the earth’s magnetic poles switching to the surface of the earth moving.
And, while the torrent of predictions makes for good theater, what is really shifting? The internal changes within each of us are at the core of shifts taking place that will affect all humanity. Consider the growing tidal wave from the democratization of access to and creation of news, information, opinion and education via the Internet. Long-standing authoritarian governments continue to fall around the world as people become aware of better ways of being and living.
We are in the midst of a great shift in consciousness that is almost palpable. Many of us are experiencing a feeling of time speeding up, a questioning of who we are and what life is about, and a search for new ways of living.
Some talk of the shift as one from ‘left-brain’ to ‘right-brain’ thinking. The left-brain is egoistic, based in logic and tightly linked to the concept of time – ‘The Mind.’ The right brain is egoless, highly intuitive and time-transcendent – ‘The Heart.’ Is there evidence for this left-to right brain shift? Creativity is growing rapidly (just look at the huge number of books and the broad range of art, video, music, theater and dance available.) New micro-communities spring up every day to help people re-connect to share their knowledge and experiences.
Beyond the '2012' doom and gloom in the media, our real destination is the bright promise of an entirely different world, based in consciousness rather than power. As we remember more and more how to experience our spirit-mind-body wholeness, we have the potential to transcend our old ways of being and come to live together in joy, peace and harmony.
As 2012 begins, my New Year’s resolution for all of us is to make positive choices—to take our past year’s experiences and turn them into opportunities for growth in the New Year. To discover new ways to improve our lives—and the lives of those whom we care about—by joyfully embracing both our human and spiritual potential.
