What is the meaning of 2012 and how will it change life, as we know it? How will the "great shift" impact humanity, our planet, our future? How do we answer the call to embrace a new way of being? Transforming through 2012 is your "resource guide" to the global paradigm shift that is 2012. In this collection of cutting edge perspectives, 33 of the most respected experts on the shift inspire, educate and empower you to embrace a new way of being. Let the indigenous elders, mystics, visionaries, healers, scientists, researchers, futurists, astrologers, artists and other luminaries show you the most safe and graceful pathways through these times of uncertainty toward the realization of your higher potential. Learn from noted scholar and visionary and advisor to heads of state, Jean Houston, PhD who calls on us to become "ready stewards of this planetary process." What we're being asked to do is to grow in the amplitude of our spirit, our being, in the utilization of the incredible resources of our body, mind and spirit, in our ability to cross the great divide of otherness and really speak to each other in unique and powerful ways. - Jean Houston, PhD And from noted futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard and cellular biologist Bruce H. Lipton, PhD, who both share their perspectives on the evolutionary possibilities provided by global crises. Whether our species evolves or collapses depends on what we do now. - Barbara Marx Hubbard A miraculous healing awaits this planet once we accept our new responsibility to collectively tend the garden rather than fight over the turf. - Bruce H. Lipton, PhD And from a 30 other experts on 2012, including indigenous elders representing traditions of the Mayan, Hopi, Inca, Aztec and Hawaiian When you make the shift and start living in the quantum energy field, you naturally start to activate amazing quantum biological processes, connecting you to the universe and what is, ultimately, beyond the universe. - Paul and Lillie Weisbart This is a time for new thinking. I say, let us do this re-imagining consciously, fearlessly expressing our desire to grow as a global community, as the human race. Let us innovate and adapt new practices in commerce, in behavior and in community capacity. Let us consciously begin a de-urbanization of the human experience, returning to more natural rural environmentally friendly settings and living areas to experience our place in nature, in relationship to the environment and closer akin to our ancestors. - M. Kalani Souza As the student of the Mayan calendar will know almost all conflicts and warfare in the history of mankind actually originate in quantum shifts in cosmic energies and only as those come to an end is there any serious reason to hope for the emergence of a world in harmony. - Carl Johan Calleman If the human species wants to survive, the civilization that replaces this one is going to have a different set of values and a revamped operating system. - Daniel Pinchbeck We are approaching that moment of discovery that we are not alone, that we are connected to all things, that every atom, every system, is actually drawing from a collective force that drives creation into existence, and that that force is in the space all around us. - Nassim Haremein
What I liked about this book was the great compilation of what 2012 may mean. It included everything from some real crazy out there ideas to good resonating notions on a spiritual level to very sober minded strictly scientific approaches, including the idea that it could simply be another Y2K. Definitely interesting.
This is a great compilation of authors exploring the topic of 2012 and what's going on. It's not fear based! If you're looking for an overview of the shift, this is the best book I've read on the topic!
