Dreaming Into 2012
Weaving the connections between each other and all creatures, we move away from separateness and isolation...Finding the points of harmony and balance in ourselves, we affect harmony in the world...
The time is now! On the cusp of 2012, we humans still have great potential for visioning a future we want to inhabit, changing our spiritual awareness, and shifting our consciousness.
The prophesy and predictions for 2012 (from the Q'ero of the Andes, the Hopi of the Southwest, and the Maya, Toltec, and Aztec of the Americas) offer us beacons of hope. This is the time of coming together: of the heart of the South and mind of the North; of the condor of the South and eagle of the North; of heaven and earth. This is a time of purification, transformation, and possibility.
It is eight years since I composed these words for the Earth Caretakers website. All this time we have continued to hope, imagine, and dream together. It is time now for bigger dreams, planet-transforming dreams!
Imagining the Future
Imagine a society where we humans and other creatures live in resonance, attuned to each other's deepest selves. Imagine a society where all living beings are connected--through heart, sensation, breath itself...and imagine living your life as a conscious being in the heart of Gaia.
Imagine learning to create such connections in all your endeavors: in work, in the classroom, in social change, in relationship, in spirit.
What if, with shifts of intention, we consciously create fields of connection every day, giving and receiving sustenance? What if we participate in and maintain our fields long distance? What if being in such fields changes our sense of support and purpose in the world?
What if, in five years, all humans could understand, live in, and create such fields of connection with ease? What if the world experienced miracles: people opening their hearts without regard to old divisions and boundaries; humans living in balance with all of nature; everyone receiving the bounty of our planet, and no one lacking?
How would this change our hearts? Our relationships? Our intentions? How would this affect the way we use energy? The way we heal? The way we move through our daily lives?
Light and Dark
Repeating our own trauma and suffering over and over embeds it, leaving little space for new and lighter energy. Similarly, focusing on and repeating the woes of the world make us prone to despair.
Every day I hear of wonderful initiatives: a new worldwide Council of Light from Australia, a worldwide dance for peace and alignment from Britain. It's with intent that this newsletter focuses on inspiring our perspectives and changing our energies. We want to help each of us keep the focus!
As the light begins to return to the north (and wane in the southern hemisphere), we can draw on the metaphors of light and dark to feed our visions. We can imagine our own filaments, like the rays of the sun, spreading in all directions. What do you want your filaments to connect to? Which ones will you nurture?

"What if the Occupy Movement truly is the latest manifestation of the paradigm shift that is rippling around the planet...What if this shift is characterized by a new recognition of the self, one that no longer betrays ourselves as separate beings in an indifferent universe, but realizes we are conditional upon all the relationships we share?...
"What if we experimented and perfected this alternative model of being, and deployed it along the vast global information network already encircling the globe? What if this model allowed us to grasp the array of crises plaguing our lives and the planet as actually interconnected - and to truly understand one was to understand and change them all?
"What if we called this shift of inter-being by its true name? -- Ian MacKenzie/Occupy Love
