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.

Now that we have successfully decided to CHANGE as a group, what is the next step? Changing a nation is a lot like changing a person. Number one…no one can change another person. Number two…the person needing change must really, really want to change. That means that they have decided what they are doing isn’t working for them anymore.
As a nation we have pretty much decided what we don’t want and what is not working for us anymore. The majority really want a change. But what do we want? It isn’t enough to know what we don’t want.
Most of us can conjure up long lists of what we don’t want and rattle it off without even trying. But when you ask someone, “What do you really want for your life?” or “What is your purpose for being here?” they glaze over. As a nation we could glaze over very easily because we haven’t focued our energy deeply into the issues of what we want this nation to look and feel like. We just know what we don’t like.
The new President cannot do all the heavy lifting himself. He can suggest ideas as to how to create wealth on Main Street, end wars, provide universal health care, etc. etc. But unless we take some time and ponder these issues ourselves and maybe even have discussions with friends and colleagues about them, nothing much will be created or change. We will slow the process for lasting change and maybe even get more of what we don’t want!
The icky issue is that each of us is a microcasm of the macrocasm, and that means we each have to solve the wars, economic failures, health issues and social glitches in our personal lives immediately if not sooner! We expect Obama to ride in as a white knight and wave a wand and heal our critically ill nation/world like Merlin the magician. Not realistic. More wishful thinking.
I hate the fact that I have to take full responsibility for my life and the messes I have made. I have been waiting for Prince Charming, Robin Hood, The Rapture, you name it for decades. I want so badly to think that it really can happen – a miracle on 34th street or whatever. But the reality check is that I have to step up and answer “Present.” Am I present? Am I aware? Am I conscious? Do I really SEE reality?
The curtain is down on the wizard. Toto (the dog whose name means your EVERYTHING) has pulled it down and exposed the fraud that has been masquarading as our American Dream Life. The shoot out at the OK corral has just finished. Now we as the townspeople or the Munchkins in Oz get to decide what and who we want to run the show. But we have been drunk on greed and materialism just as our leaders have been. We have to sober up, quickly!
We need to step up here and figure out what we want as individuals and what we want as towns and counties and states and nations. That means we probably have to spend less time in front of the TV. We may have to actually meet our neighbors and talk to them about what they want. Wow, what a concept!
In a way we are resurrecting the 60’s without LSD! If we had pulled the drug abuse out of the movement, it would have been exactly what we need today. The 1960’s was about being authentic, loving and aware. What a great combination.
I am ecouraged by this mess we have in the US. (For those of you in other countries, I’m sorry you can’t be here in person for this party BUT you can join virtually!). We are on the brink of finding out just how fabulous and absolutely transcendent we really are. Amazing things are about to happen as we discover what we can do when we wake up and actually SEE each other.
I think I may have gone on too long for this post, but I will be back soon for more fun ideas as to how we can literally put Humpty Dumpty back together. Yes we can!

TRICK OR TREAT ELECTIONS
Halloween and political elections are a lot alike, I’ve discovered. I was debating with myself about the subject for this week’s post. Should I write about Halloween or the elections? That’s when I realized how much they have in common!
Halloween is a day set aside to send children out disguised as something or someone else to get a treat from others or they will trick them. Election day we send our citizens to a polling place to choose from disguised candidates and hope we don’t get tricked in the end.
Last year I published an article called “A Hidden Halloween”. It was about how we hide from ourselves and each other behind masks everyday. We role-play the Good Girl, the Hero, the Prince/Princess, the Warrior, etc. etc. Seldom do we ever take the time or the effort to go inside ourselves to discover if we really are that good girl, hero, prince/princess, warrior or whatever.
How sad to live a whole life as someone else and never really know oneself. But sadder still is that people who are not authentic can’t discern whether another person is being authentic or not. We’re in costume and so are our candidates. No one knows who anyone really is. Trick or Treat!
There is some good news though. Just the awareness that most everyone is in costume can be liberating and can lead to understanding and insight of the truth of a matter or person. What we see is not always what we get. Unmasked we can ask the deeper questions that go to the intentions and motives behind the costume or persona. Is their true intention to serve the best interests of all the people and not just a priviledged few? Do they want to unify and heal the divided factions?
This is where the heart comes into play because it doesn’t play trick or treat games. If we can engage our hearts in our decisions we will be able to FEEL the truth inside ourselves. Deep down we know that hate and violence never solve anything or bring peace. We when witness candidates attacking character, inflaming violent or fear-ridden emotions, our hearts break inside. We experience a sour taste in our mouths.
We also experience the same physical reactions when we do violence to ourselves in words, thoughts or deeds. These are the body’s thermometers to let us know we are being incongruent. The inside is not matching the outside. We are in our costume again. Just seeing this helps us to be able to take off the mask and get real. Only then will we see others more clearly and be able to tell the truth from the lies.
Halloween and elections should be totally incompatible – no similarity. But because our emotional and intellectual growth has been stunted, we want to stay in denial of reality. We don’t want to admit to ourselves that our leadership is corrupt or that they are deceiving us. We don’t want to take the time and effort to actually fact-find and reason things out. It’s almost like we want to stay in OZ and believe the Wizard. But now that the disgusting underbelly of the financial world has been exposed, maybe we can muster the courage to look at the underbelly of the political world.
It is time to grow up, wake up and smell the coffee. We are adults here, not the kids in costumes trick or treating through life. None of us is one dimensional, able to be defined in one or two words. Yet that is how we are assessing our candidates. It’s as if they had on a Halloween costume. It does take time and effort to understand others and complex issues. But freedom isn’t free. We can’t just turn over our choices and our rights to whomever appears willing to lead. That is childish. Children aren’t independent and free. Only conscious adults can be independent and free.
We can take off our masks and costumes, get authentic with ourselves, have integrity with others and discern truth in our communities. Don’t trick or treat through this election. The trick is way too costly!
