          Is this the end times? Are all the prophesies of the Bible, Nostradamus, the Mayan, Aztec, and Hopi tribes unfolding now? If so, when will this happen? What is ending and what may be beginning? Some claim the end is 2012, some say it’s any day now, some say 2030 give or take a few years. There are many interpretations from which we can choose. We can also choose to focus on what is dying or what is being born. The majority chose to look to the birth of the new in  our last election. However, the minority chose to hold onto the past. 

            Our polarized tribal social systems have kept us running in place, clinging to a narrow “us vs. them” ideology that allows us to believe we are always right and they are always wrong… or we’re good and they’re evil. Americans haven’t had much incentive to break free of this limiting box, because we still believe that we’re in control to a certain extent. But that illusion of control is deteriorating now too, and fears of calamity are mounting.

            Catastrophes always seem to wake us up and open us up. We have a Dr. Phil “ How’s that workin’ for ya?” moment. Here again we can choose to see the lesson in the problem or let the problem overwhelm us.  Fear and confusion just block our ability to make better choices. Between the collapse of world financial markets, threat of a Middle East Armageddon scenario, a repeat of the 1930’s Great Depression, the return of the Ten Plagues of Egypt and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, many are close to a panic state.

            Who will save us? Is it time for the return of a savior to vanquish all the evil and restore the kingdom to the faithful? Is it time for the arrival of the mother ship from outer space to beam the faithful up? Some may have already left or “ascended” to Planet 2, a theoretical cloaked planet near here without as many bad guys (and gals) as our Earth . Others are doggedly slugging it out in the battle fields as God’s warriors, but each side believes God is only on their side.

            Since these deliverance scenarios have been in place for millennia in every tribe and religion, and the world hasn’t yet ended; we can pretty well deduce from history that they were not meant to be taken literally. They were meant to be taken as a symbolic or metaphorical description of a spiritually awakened understanding of the future rather than a literal interpretation. Most all the doomsday predictions point to our current period, which indicates that the time is now to shift gears and rise into that higher consciousness in order to see the big picture on a global scale. All prophesies include clear guidance as to how humanity can avoid total destruction by rising above tribal ignorance and cultural differences to discover our common yearning for peace and freedom. For example, the Hopi prophesies state “We are the ones we have been waiting for”.

            Many still choose to remain in tribal “us vs. them” boxes of prejudiced beliefs, fighting endless wars at home and abroad. But this is the very world system that is self destructing. We have played all the cards in the deck. This game is over- the game of “let’s see how long we can continue to destroy each other and the planet”.

            We can create a more positive end time scenario but we must choose to let go of our right to play God trying to control everything and live from the inside out with our hearts instead. We don’t have to wait until more catastrophes happen in our lives to turn the tide. Each one of us has the light of understanding in our core that we can access at anytime we choose. We call it our gut feeling, our sixth sense or intuition. It is a plumb line of justice and truth we can always use to measure and discern the bad, better and best individually and collectively. Our collective thoughts can create a new reality.

            What time is it? It is time to choose the world we want to create. The time is NOW.
