Countdown to the Last Solstice of a Dying Age

st December and its Solstice, it is time, if you choose, to begin your preparations. I speak not of anticipating the end of the world, not of stockpiling food nor of building a shelter in your garden. Already in some parts of the world doom-sayers are turning their homes into fortresses and communities are moving into the hills in the belief that there they will be safe from a planetary cataclysm they believe is imminent. It is not. They are right, however, that the predictions of the Mayans and the Hopi Indians and many other seers have truth in them – it is their interpretation which is fallacious, based on their fear of what is new and unknown. That is what this Solstice of 2012 is all about: the ending of a civilisation, and change. I will write more about these magical times now and to come as we approach the time of the Solstice itself, but now that we are in the month of December the countdown to the new era has begun. This is such a special time, one that will never be repeated and I encourage you to savour it like nectar from the Gods. It would be such a pity to look back and realise you have missed, through inattention, what in records yet to be written will be seen as the moment the worlds above and below moved extraordinarily and divinely. Live life as normal and enjoy your life, but be aware. Once or twice a day remember what is happening within and around you even if you cannot know what it is in words. Feel the excitement in the air as the energies begin to swirl and dissolve to make way for the new. Above all, be grateful for being here to witness and to be part of the great events about to unfold. Your presence, now, is indeed a blessing.]]>
