The Solstice on December 21, 2012 - precisely at 11:11 a.m. - marks the completion of 5,125 year Great Cycle of the Ancient Maya Long Count Calendar.
What does this mean to us?
According to the Mayan and Hopi predictions this is the end of a World Age. Some describe it as an 'Apocalypse' - in Greek means "lifting of the veil" or "revelation". It is the disclosure of something that has been hidden. All indications from these predictions are that there will be a quantum leap into something new and unknown. This next year is the amplification of a transition time (in-between two realities) and can be experienced as tension of opposites, the play of contracted forces of fear and the expansive forces of possibilities that seek to be empowered by living a co-creative, authentic life.
What an amazing time to be in a body! Together we are in a great initiation process, living in times of unprecedented challenge yet with unprecedented support energetically to expand spiritually into our True Identity - that of Spiritual beings inhabiting human bodies. A new energetic frequency is literally being born within our bodies - metaphorically like a flower emerging out of the crack of a huge boulder or the metamorphosis of the butterfly.
It does not require psychic powers to see that the world around us is crumbling while great transformation is happening simultaneously - from new science, new economic models, new healing modalities, new energy technologies, new educational models, co-creative teams joining together, etc.
Releasing Fear:
With the tension of opposites - one reality dying while another is emerging - the ego is having a very fear-based reaction, seeking to create a false power by attempting to manipulate and control personal & world circumstances in order to remain 'safe' and maintain a personal identity based on the past.
This is a time to consciously choose to embrace and live in your inner knowing about the possibilities. A time to focus on what is emerging and surrender what has been. It is a time to look inside for direction. We are not heading on a path that the mind can take us. The mind is only able to know what has been. The way forward into the mystery of what is hidden is only available from Spirit - Inner Knowing - that small voice that speaks when we have ears to listen.
"The Kingdom of God is inside of you...it is you who are the sons of the living Father... If you bring forth that which is within you, what you have brought forth will save you."
~ The Gospel of Thomas

Co-Creating a New World
by Vishara Veda
The word "Co-Creation" is relatively new, beginning in business models as people joined forces to achieve an objective. Here, we take the meaning to a deeper, spiritual level.
There is a totally new world being born within all of us and it has begun to express in outer world forms. Attributes of this new reality are the pull to join with others in something bigger than ourselves individually; the pull to fully embrace our unique expressions; the pull to honor others and, most importantly, to honor our own path.
In the current 'old world' structure, we were taught to be radically self-sufficient, to be able to do it ourselves. In the old world it is considered a weakness to let go of control or show emotion or vulnerability. Our culture rewards competitiveness and winning over others. In most contests, second place is considered a loss. It is better to 'know something' rather than ask questions.
Given the fact that every single person is unique - how can we compare ourselves with anyone else? No one knows your truth, your path better than you. Others can offer pointers, however we are all totally capable of navigating our path in each moment. Our pain comes from wanting others to understand our point-of-view or wanting to change others to meet our expectation and needs.
Given we are made in the "likeness and image of God" - why do we look to others to fulfill our need to be loved and supported? We are that which we seek. The path to enlightenment and peace is self-acceptance; allowing each moment to be exactly as it is.

A new reality is emerging:
- One in which we emphasize our unique Self and join with others who are being and doing what is their 'natural' expression. Everyone has within them true genius - that flow that is easy and filled with energy and inspiration. It is found in what we already 'Are' not in what we or others think we 'should be'.
- One in which we are at peace with ourselves to such an extent that our desire is to serve something bigger than individual needs.
- One in which the pain and suffering of this reality is no longer where we focus our attention. We are moving into a world where we easily accept what is in each moment - knowing that the Divine Plan is unfolding perfectly.
- One in which we relate to others through our recognition of them as spiritual family; where our main focus is on support and exaltation of each person's unique expression.
- One in which our personal preferences and small story or ego become subordinate to the perfection we know is happening around and through each of us.
Story of a Spiritual Relationships
by Vishara Veda
Fantasy Wedding
Like most everyone else born into a body in this timing of evolution, half of my life was lived in relationships that had a karmic agenda. Relationships that I thought would fulfill my fantasies and my personal needs. I read books and watched movies depicting stories of meeting the eyes of another across the room and knowing that 'the one' had arrived. Although there would be tension, in the end we would live 'happily ever-after'.
Unlike many people, the perfect fantasy seemed to have actually come true for me. As described in our new book, The Joining, I met an amazingly loving, strong man who adored me. We had a magical wedding in a mansion on the cliffs of Malibu. Amanda McBroom sang her famous song, The Rose, as I walked down the aisle in a beautiful beaded gown toward my soon-to-be husband standing with our minister, Marianne Williamson. The wedding was attended by prominent authors, speakers, seminal leaders, and a smattering of progressive thinking Hollywood types. Even the weather was absolutely perfect! Certainly we held the hope of many in the gathering that romantic fantasies can, and do, come true.
What romantic books and movies do not depict is the journey that follows the wedding. Often people in intimate relationships become more invested in maintaining the form of the relationship (a marriage/soul-mate, job, friendship etc.), rather than following that inner voice to determine what level of intimacy best serves the higher good of all involved. The relationship becomes smaller as it adjusts itself in an attempt to ensure the continuation of the form. People hang on tight using personal will based on desires or needs and fear of what might happen if they don't keep it intact.
In my case, after five years of personal growth and mutual love, the marriage gracefully dissolved. Not to say it was not painful to allow the dream to end. However, we both recognized that we were no longer experiencing an upward spiral and personal growth. Our overarching context for life was to evolve into greater spiritual awareness which had a stronger pull than the forms of the relationship.
Having finally given up my romantic fantasy, it seemed to me that I was destined for a life of spiritual service without an intimate relationship. I felt like a holy woman, somewhat removed from the human condition. More deeply surrendered to the direction of my Spirit, I awaited my next assignment. Most vivid in my awareness was that my primary identity was, and is, a unique expression of the Divine Oneness. I recognized the complete harmony of the Universe no matter how it appears in the world of form. I felt that Divine Will was directing my life and I simply co-create with It.

Pre-destined Relationship
Most of what happened next was beyond my wildest imagination. It had nothing to do with what I thought would be in my future. I was absolutely certain that my journey wouldn't include a new intimate partner - one who I had agreed to join in this lifetime in a place beyond time. I had not consciously known that a primary part of my mission in a body was to bring a new frequency around co-creation and relationships onto the planet in this time of the great awakening. I did not know that I was destined to join with my other half.
Once I surrendered into following my Spirit instead of my mind's agenda, my reality shifted radically. The illusion of thinking I knew what was best for me and others began to unravel. The need to control my future dimmed. Living in the mystery became the only path that made sense to me.
The time is quickly approaching when the world will embrace a radically different consciousness. One in which people easily express their unique flavor and honor others as the world of form shifts and evolves; a fluid reality where visions from Spirit are embraced and instantly manifested. A world where everyone knows that they are here to play out a specific part and interact with others in co-creative harmony and love. A consciousness where all need to control is surrendered to our higher power in every moment.
