2012...
by Chris Hale

A new year dawns … and for many this will be a busy intense period … plans are cooked, work and application is needed for dogged follow through – this is head-down time. Nothing magically appears on your plate, it is all careful and meticulous activity putting the pieces in place that were forged last year and will now be worked into the masterpiece of your life. Yes, a good and satisfying time watching the fruits of your wisdom and efforts ripen. Sure, there are loose ends to be tied in, but you will get to that in your time planning. We have entered the very subtle stage of the new era. Now, while we are busy bees implementing our plans, that is, our consciousness is absorbed in the moment – placing the forged pieces of our future carefully in place – we will become extra sensitive to the prevailing undercurrents and energies which waft through the Quantum Sea. You may have noticed this already: some days, no matter what you do or say – or how kindly your intentions are – you push people's buttons; other days, it all seamlessly flows and you can't put a foot wrong; other days again, you feel the ill winds of misfortune and chose to stay close to home. Essentially, this is where you are feeling things at a much deeper level – you are in tune and interconnected with the unseen, invisible realms – the ebbs and tides of the Quantum Sea.
The very interesting thing about this phenomenon is that you are 'depersonalizing' life. By that I mean that when, for example, you 'push people's buttons' unwittingly, you will now see it as “their stuff” not “your stuff” and won't feel as bewildered or guilty as you would have previously. I don't mean that one doesn't examine their own behavior, but we see much more that we are an 'agent' of the energies: that one is a part of the whole shifting of that Sea on any given day as particular flows of energy permeate the world. And yet we are not to forget that we are also co-creators - that when one feels the ill wind blowing through the day, it is our job to be extra cautious, to ensure our minds remain positive to shift those winds into another direction. Again, we are all a part of the whole as co-creative agents. And this new-found sensitivity also discerns the loosening of the fabric of time-space. That is, other realms are more accessible to us seeping through the solidity of matter to be experienced (this is a part of the 'divinity descending to earth' and the 'end of time as we know it' scenarios). Time gets compressed and expanded, things flash about the corner of our vision, inspiration strikes as a sudden insight from guiding entities who can finally get a clear thought passage to us, dreams become insightful and intense. It's all very exciting stuff. But, as mentioned last month, the subtlety can escape us if we are not consciously aware of what is taking place. When we are aware (as I am making you now), you will find the 'ah ha' moments quite prevalent, and/or odd events become normalized. We become far more observant to the unseen. No longer buffeted by the Sea, but surfing on the crests and relaxing in the lull of the troughs. Enjoy the turning point which 2012 is for most of us. Happy New Year!
