My friend, Chris, recently drew my attention to a new networking web site. I know, I know; MySpace and Facebook and Twitter, oh, my! Do we really need another one? But this new site, Scribd, specializes on "people who like to read". So, right there, instead of having another site that tries to be all things to all people, Scribd has eliminated all but the 12% of Americans who actually like to read. So, that's a plus. It also allows members to post documents like ebooks, and actually sell them. That's another plus. And it allows the creation of groups who can then share documents. That supports an idea I've had for some time: A way for Lightworkers to share thoughts, which tend to run for more words than the 120-character limit on Twitter allows.
So I created such a group, called 2012 Lightworkers. I invite you to join, which you can get to by clicking the link. Although I expect that most of what I publish there will mirror the metaphysical information I post here, the advantage is that it will potentially reach a wider audience; and, also, that those who are moved to do so can add to the information by posting there, themselves.
However, having created the group, I am more-or-less obligated to write the first posting. And I've chosen as my subject…
What Is A 2012 Lightworker?
By now, only folks living in a cave—and without Internet access—haven't heard that something remarkable is said to be expected in the year 2012. What, exactly, that something is has yet to be determined. I've heard everything from "the end of the world" to "a marketing bonanza for New Age merchants". So, not being sure, I made the effort to research.
There are entire books on this subject; I can recommend The Complete Idiots Guide to 2012 as being complete and hysteria-free. It uses as its primary source, the Mayan calendar.
The Mayan calendar, which actually consists of a series of interlocking calendars, is far more complex than our own—as well as being more accurate, in terms of its astronomical aspects. Yet it was designed five thousand years ago—its base date is August 11, 3114 BCE, which is long before the Maya themselves appeared on the scene as a distinct culture. That doesn't mean that's when the calendar was created. For example, the base date of our Gregorian calendar is January 1, 1 CE; yet the calendar itself was officially introduced in 1582 CE. When someone is designing a calendar, they typically choose a base date that they consider a turning point, a date before which nothing "important" is considered to have happened. For the designers of the Gregorian calendar, they chose New Year's Day of the year in which they thought Jesus was born; for Bill Gates' computers, a date of January 1, 1980 was chosen.
For the Maya, the base date was the beginning of the Fourth Age, the modern world. (The three Ages that preceded it in Mayan mythology do not much apply to the current discussion, except to say that each "ends" in a rebirth that gives rise to the "next".) The Mayans do write about the preceding Ages.
The mapping of Mayan dates to Gregorian dates is not a precise science; or, rather, it is not one without controversy. But most students of the Mayan calendar note that the Fourth Age "ends" on December 21, 2012. (The minority view believes the date falls in September of that year. Also, some scholars believe this is the Fifth Age, not Fourth; and that we will be moving into a Sixth Age in 2012.)
In any case, the Mayans celebrated the ends of cycles, rather than dreading them; so there's no reason to expect a horrid Armageddon coming that year on the basis of the Mayan calendar—merely a "transformation" of global proportions.
Now, as it happens, 2012 isn't just the end of the Mayan calendar. There are a number of astronomical occurrences that will also be happening that year, most notably our solar system's crossing the Galactic equator. There are also non-scientific sources that claim our Solar System has entered a "high frequency" galactic torus or band in which the galactic magnetic lines of force are reversed from the usual direction. This torus is supposedly responsible for the increase in Earth's core temperature, and increase in solar sunspots and storms on Jupiter and Saturn.
But if the quantum frequency of this torus is higher than that of the space Earth previously traveled through, the torus might also be raising the "vibration" of Earth as a whole. If so, one might expect to find that traditional ways of life, that is, subterfuge, lies, deceit, and violence might no longer succeed as they once did. And, indeed, any glance at the news reveals that the affairs and hypocrisy of the world's leaders is coming to light (or Light?). Even the world's economic system, which has been based on deceit and lies for at least 2000 years, is now collapsing because the truth behind those lies is being revealed. Indeed, there is no question that the world beyond 2012 will be very different than the world of, say, 2000. And it doesn't take a psychic to realize so!
So, let's say that the world is being infused with Light (high-frequency quantum particles). At the same time low-frequency behaviors of deceit and violence are seen to no longer work, those who are invested in those behaviors are trying ever more desperately to prove they do—because it's all they've ever known. So, even as the cries against war grow louder, so does the saber-rattling that has always led to war in the past.
If the Light wasn't increasing, people would grow terrified of the suppression in Iran, the terrorists in Pakistan, the nuclear threats of North Korea. Instead, most people have adopted a more neutral wait-and-see attitude. And many are actively encouraging sane responses to insane demands and behavior.
Those people are Lightworkers. Those people are us.
A Lightworker is a person who is the voice of reason when those about him or her have lost theirs.
A Lightworker provides the kind touch on the shoulder to those who have lost a loved one.
A Lightworker gives advice or assistance to those who ask, but not to those who don't. And to those who demand "help" for something they don't need, a Lightworker provides guidance or at least the address of a nearby recovery center.
A Lightworker focuses his or her efforts on people he or she encounters, without wasting energy playing "ain't it awful" about people in other countries (they have their own Lightworkers).
You don't have to have been specially ordained to be a Lightworker. The fact that you chose to be born into this particular time period is all the ordination you need. You may belong to a religion or not. You may be of any gender, race, or ethnicity.
Oh, and you don't have to hunt down those who need your help. They will come to you.
This group, 2012 Lightworkers, is intended as a way for us to provide help and guidance to each other. Because everyone needs a Lightworker, including other Lightworkers!
