Are you aware that ten years have passed since year 2012? More exactly, since this one particular breaking-through and bombastic date, the 21st of December 2012. If this is something entirely new for you and you’re hearing this for the first time, be aware that at the time there was a lot of talking and writing about it. Perhaps there were even some juicy apocalyptic scenarios in people’s heads on what could have happened. It is a date that fueled fantasies, especially within the New Age community, and brought people together in sacred ceremonies. A date you didn’t want to miss, but wanted to be right here, living on planet Earth in the times of great change.
And what was actually supposed to mark that one date?
The end of the world as we know it.
The date when everything stopped according to Mayan time. Well, it didn’t exactly stop, but also nothing stayed the same.
One of the most important consequences of the energies of that period is the wave of mass spiritual awakenings.
Spiritual awakening is a topic in itself, but we can say it is is a series of psychophysical changes in the individual. These changes include the way in which the individual perceives himself, the world around him, how he accepts and understands his being, and also includes the physical level as the body is getting ready to receive a higher level of consciousness into material existence, especially when our physical form is essentially constrained, and whose energetic abilities and centers are dormant or blocked. Awakening itself lasts and takes place through many phases because in order for the spirit to descend into the body, it is necessary to prepare the body for it.
At the same time, if as a soul we have lived many lives in this low vibration of existence on this planet, and it is necessary to transform all these previously acquired vibrations.
Given that this article is based solely on some of my observations and there is no research to support my conclusions, I can only write from my own experience. I work with people as a yoga teacher and energy therapist, so I can draw a number of conclusions from this work. In retrospect, during those last ten years some significant changes have taken place in my life, and I can say that they do coincide with this famous date of which I found out later, without that tension that I might had felt if I was preparing for a particular event and without inflating the importance of such a moment in cosmic-earth time. The changes did not occur overnight, but if I look back, now I can view them more clearly, and talk about them them.
It can be noted that the energies were such that awakenings occurred in waves, and in the period from 2012 until now, in 2022, several such intense waves of awakening surges have been repeated that have affected a greater mass of people, inhabitants of this planet.
It is important to emphasize that there is no change if we do not change the current paradigm. So what are these changes and insights that we have achieved (or could have) since 2012, and how much have we spiritually matured since, as a civilization and individuals? What is useful to share for some current and future spiritual aspirants?
The goal of the journey is the realization that we are a DIVINE BEING OF LIGHT, THAT WE ARE SOVEREIGN AND FREE. For this to become our truth, it is necessary to take the path towards it.
KNOWING SOMETHING ON AN INTELLECTUAL LEVEL IS NOT THE SAME AS UNDERSTANDING
Transferring knowledge at the intellectual level, explaining terms, ideas, concepts is a valuable way of bringing about change, but given the great limitation of the human language, and the great layering of our whole being and our energies, it is difficult to transfer knowledge through language alone. One can try, though. A major obstacle in this are the various traditions, cosmologies, spiritual and religious schools that talk about certain phenomena with their particular terminology. Cognition always goes beyond terminology and is stronger than the understanding of a concept that could be expressed like some lexicographic interpretation of the term. Experience is crucial to cognition. That is why it is said that a wise teacher is silent and teaches the student by example.
Try to read all that follows in this text by going beyond the words and try to understand it by feeling.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE A GURU
To make a leap in consciousness, we don’t need a teacher. Today, there are indeed many who have awakened spiritually without having in their lives any figure that they would call a teacher. It would be best to observe our current existence, this individual life in a way that our soul has already lived numerous lives, in which it learned in various ways, with a teacher, in a temple, ashram, monastery, on the battlefield, through various experiences. We are a collection of these experiences and they are the richness of our soul. From my point of view, it is difficult to find a person who you could place in such a sublime place, because at the end of the day we are all human, rarely any of us is fully realized, but the point is also that there is no learning and recognition of one’s own sovereignty and strength if we continue to look at ourselves as a small, weak and ignorant beings.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LIVE LIFE IN THE ASHRAM
There are no more sterile conditions. If you have lived any of your lives in an isolated place, whether you have retreated to a separate community, whether to hide in the solitude of a mountain or a desert, there is no more need for that, knowledge is applied on the ground and your desire to run away from the people and environment in which you live, although understandable, is not justified because there is a reason why you incarnated in a certain place on the planet geographically and why as a soul you chose a specific family, therefore genetically. Work with what is given to you and where it is given to you, and besides, if you are still struggling with this concept, so you have already decided at the soul level.
WE DO(N’T) LOVE OURSELVES ENOUGH
One of the very sensitive lessons that I believe most individuals have a problem with is that we don’t love ourselves enough. The reasons for it are numerous and quite complex, but the root cause is separation from one’s own true being, one’s own essence, because when we know our essence we realize that it is love and no less than universal love, agape. If we knew who we are and who our real being is, we would also acknowledge our own strength, and that is the insight and the knowledge from which we have been persistently estranged from throughout the history of this planet.
Therefore – learn to love yourself! The depth of this journey is of such proportions that when you realize the existence of this shadow in our heart center, no relationship you build with others in your lives requires as much love as the amount of love that is necessary to heal that unloved part of us. It’s hard for many, but that’s the reality.
THERE IS NO GROWTH IN AWARENESS WITHOUT GETTING TO KNOW ONESELF AND WORKING DEEPLY AND THOROUGHLY ON ONESELF
You want to change, but you think you won’t need to lift a finger?! Or that you will sit down to meditate in a flower meadow or under the moonlight, chant mantras, attend cocoa ceremonies, buy some crystals, light an incense stick, sweat well in a yoga class and everything will unfold on its own, without having to go through deeply stored trauma – whether personal, ancestral or of this civilization. Nothing will unfold if it is not initiated by you, first by your higher self and then by your little self, roaming in this life. Just as muscles are developed by physical exercise, so does our ability to work on oneself – recognizing what needs to be changed and then thoroughly working on it to build the inner strength. The key element of change is awareness, becoming aware. By becoming more and more aware, we will become more present with ourselves and we will become aware of what needs to be worked on, changed, no matter how difficult it may be for us.
If you ask me what I’ve been doing since 2012? I worked and worked, removing the sludge, clearing my waters, and when it all settled, repeated the procedure.
WORKING ON CLEANING PATTERNS ISN’T MERELY DONE FOR OURSELVES
The work we do to clean up the patterns is not only done for ourselves, but also for the sake of our genetic line. We do the same for our ancestors. This is a concept that may not be entirely new to you, but I will give you another deeper perspective, which is that we accepted this work because we wanted to, we took it upon ourselves as a task, already earlier in the soul agreement. And when we are suddenly overwhelmed by states of unexplained suffering, of the burden we feel, let us try to remind ourselves that not everything is always directly ours, but is a part of that burden that we have agreed to share and help clear for others. When we clear up some of all that energy mess and tangled vibrations, broken soul fragments and traumas, legacies left for younger generations, that are entering a new paradigm, will be easier.
OUR PERSPECTIVE AND CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE TIME OF INITIATION OF HEALING ARE ALWAYS NARROWED
When you start working on your own healing, consciousness is narrowed! Keep this in mind because when you undergo the path of healing and come to the other side, you will look differently at the moment when you initiated your own healing, you will understand it differently, just as the very outcome of the healing path will be somewhat different from what you originally imagined. Richness is in the journey, although sometimes we would prefer to give it all up and wished to return everything to its original state of ignorance and narrowed consciousness. That is why the journey is made for the brave.
FAST AND STEEP CLIMB OR SLOW ONE, YET SAFE
The universe sometimes really gives us choices, so it may offer us whether we want a rapid growth in awareness or maybe a slower one, because if we compare them with a ride, the fast one resembles a roller coaster ride, with great risk, and the slow one is far more comfortable, but it is like driving with someone who is in no hurry. Be careful what you choose. The quick path can also be very painful, as if we compare it with the rapid removal of the Band-Aid…
EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN PATH
Like pilgrims who travel to one destination, each of us chooses a different path of travel, each of us comes with a different background. We are one, from the same Source, but in that very high plane of existence that is quite distant from these earthly lives of ours. Ourselves, our energy is formed by the sum of different vibrations and depending on the vibrations we carry, we make the music of our life, we meet people with whom we vibrate the same and harmoniously or those with whom we are quite dissonant. You don’t have to feel bad because you won’t take some people along your path or they’ll fall out of your way even though from our human perspective it’s hard to accept it. Being at some point of your own journey where you might feel some kind of superiority is tricky and must be softened with a deeper understanding of yourself and others.
SOLITUDE IS NOT BAD AND DO NOT WORRY, YOU WILL FIND YOUR OWN PEOPLE
During some changes in my life that I consider as spiritual awakenings, countless times I felt very lonely. Opening up to a new worldview didn’t make it much easier for me when my environment wasn’t changing with me or was refusing to change. It took me a long time to meet people who are in a similar situation as I and who have taken seriously the opportunity of the times we live in for their own best spiritual leap and growth.
The solitude also gave me depth. It forced me to listen to myself and look for answers within myself. Loneliness meant that I created my opinions and attitudes for myself, through my own experience.
A time came that I found people with who I could share my thoughts and opinions with, in a safe circle, and now the time has come when I have freed myself from fears and I can speak and write about it publicly. So that too has its timing and its own process.
WE HAVE ACCESS TO UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE AND SOUL RECORDS
Following the solitude and entering into myself, primarily through the process of meditation, I paved a way into a new realm, and that is the realm of universal knowledge and soul records. Here I will emphasize that the period in which we live allowed us to do this because of the liberation of the planet we live on, by raising vibrations and removing vibrational barriers.
I have broken down the two because the soul records are experiences we have from past lives, parallel, other dimensions of existence, from which we draw certain lessons and affinities that reflect this current being that we are living. It’s about experiential knowledge. On the other hand, universal knowledge is not only ours, we have not acquired it through certain lives, but it exists at the level of universal consciousness.
When we become aware of ourselves, our true being, then we are approaching the knowledge of consciousness. Consciousness is one and knowledge is one, universal.
THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE “OLD EARTH” IS NO LONGER NECESSARY
This is a realization that will hurt some. On the planet on which we live, we are very focused on collecting knowledge, respecting and transmitting traditions, even preserving secret teachings and transmitting them only to the ones who are chosen and initiated.
If we gain access to higher consciousness knowledge, do we need any more of it?
Let us remember that the Earth was enslaved and a vibration barrier was placed on it, and the transfer of knowledge through tradition was the only way to preserve it. The problem with transmission is that if there is no real cognition, those who transmit it do not transmit it experientially, and time, customs and meanings change and distort the original information.
I’m not saying that the old knowledge doesn’t have value, but being a free being means also freeing your mind and opening it to something new.
KNOWING YOURSELF AS A MULTIDIMENSIONAL BEING
Indeed, we have the opportunity to recognize our multidimensionality. We are multi-layered beings and it is important that we recognize ourselves as such. Just as it is important that we learn how to dispose with it, because it is necessary to take control of our own our sovereignty, so that no one can steal, usurp and exploit our space and our energy.
BEINGS FROM HIGHER DIMENSIONS ARE NOT BETTER THAN US
Us humans are beings who are just getting to know our true place in the cosmic order, we are just starting to wake up and recognize ourselves in a new light, a light that shows us that we are much more than what we were taught. We as beings of awareness are equal to other beings of awareness.
OUR HUMAN DNA TRULY IS SPECIAL
Our DNA is a light record, the information that created this body we live through. Our DNA is not fully activated and the vibrational change, i.e. raising the vibration of the planet slowly activates the records of our DNA that are in a dormant state.
UNDERSTANDING THE GENDER PRINCIPLE AND CHANGE AND REVISION OF MALE-FEMALE RELATIONS IS NECESSARY
Life on this planet is dual. So are the sexes. As long as we live a reality in which there is such a kind of duality, the principles of the sexes differ through the physical expression of the body. There is no error in the physical expression we received. Our physical form is the best possible form that we could have taken in order to carry out all the important tasks of the soul in the times in which we live. Accept it. The sooner the better. Your shape is perfect, don’t change it.
As for the male-female relationships, they need to be changed and balanced, harmonized and healed. These relationships are those of the female-male principle within us as well as those outside. In the past ten years, these relationships have not yet been thoroughly changed or healed, but a healing process has begun that goes very deep, even into the karma of each of us and into everything that has happened on this planet since the gender principle was violated. The news is that a new base of relationships is emerging that will be freed from attachment, dependence and will allow mutual freedom. At the same time, we must learn the true purpose and proper directing of sexual energy.
LISTENING AND RESPONDING TO YOUR CALL
Do we want a world of happy and fulfilled individuals? We are fulfilled when we fill ourselves with our true self, and then we know what to do, what is that passion that we can express in the world and allow it to work through us. So listen to your inner call and act according to it.
WHO OR WHAT IS CHRIST AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIVINE CHARACTERISTICS
The Christ is in us, it is the light of awareness, Self, Source that can shine through us, our purest and highest vibration, and when we realize that, we are the Christ ourselves.
If we speak through the language of energy and through the development of chakras, energy centers through which we develop certain traits, properties; by developing our chakras, to their highest expression, we also develop the divine qualities that are in us.
THE WAY TO MORE AWARENESS IS THE WAY OF COMPASSION, COMPASSION PRACTICE
If we go through all these various steps in our spiritual development and look back on the path behind us which is not at all easy, when we observe the beings who are still behind on that path, will we have enough compassion for them and try to understand their path?
Conclusion: how do we move into a higher dimension of existence?
By changing the perception. By waking up every new day even when it seems difficult, when it seems that everything we do has no meaning and when we don’t understand what is happening inside of us. By accepting that no one will save us. By taking responsibility for our path. Even though others do not understand our path and actions, in spite of everything, we are love, we are light. When we finally see and understand our path, even though it is only the path that we just illuminated, if it came from the purest part of us, it is the correct one and therefore the highest one for us.
