Let me restate this, just to be clear-this is proported to be a change of mindset nobody's going to die or lose identity. We are all going to enter a higher state of awareness-it will be easier for some, harder for others with this in mind a quote from Eckhart's A New Earth restates this idea a little more eloquently,
Quote:
However, in the greater scheme of thing, human beings are meant to evolve into conscious beings, and those who don't will suffer the consequences of their unconsciousness. They are out of alignment with the evolutionary impluse of the universe.
He believes that we as a species are beginning to realise that we are in a collective "unconscious" state driven by ego, negativity, and pain laden emotions and that we must recognize those patterns in order to let them go and then replace that void with "awareness" and "presence". Living entirely in the moment, as it were, and letting go of the past. Being an insanely positive person I believe that this is what we're building up to for 2012.
I'm pretty sure that the late bio-evolutionist Stephen J. Gould (I'll have to find the quote, I'm paraphasing like hell) talked about not only adaptation but that a specie's stress for radical evolutionary change builds up over hundreds, or thousands, of years to where it finally hits a wall and the species, either from experience or necessity, have to make a quantum leap either in developement or change in order to survive. I see 2012 as that "wall".
