It is the End of the World as we Know it

"Whenever righteousness falters and chaos threatens to prevail, I take on a human body and manifest myself on earth".
Lord Krishna, Bhagavad Gita

Our spiritual community has been talking about the coming big awakening for decades. Many of you can feel it in your bones that a spiritual transcendence is ahead for you personally. Yet, there is also the famous Maya prediction that by December 2012 our world as we know it is coming to an end. And they seemed to have envisioned a literal ending. So who is right? Well, both views are different sides of the same coin. Every ending is a beginning and every death implies a new birth. Both, at work and in our spiritual community, I have talked to so many who are experiencing extreme pain and they want it to stop. What is all this suffering for, they ask. This transformative period, 2007 -2013, releases lots of accumulated negative energy and sets the stage for a new spiritual beginning. You may hope for a new Savior to emerge and you will get her, she happens to be you! When Arjun broke down on the battlefield and Lord Krishna lifted him on his feet again, He was the symbol for our True Self, the devine spark in us that always lightens up when righteousness falters. So let's end this note with the song from R.E.M. which you probably know  'It's the end of the world as we know it ...and I feel fine!'
