Spiritual Reflections: Where will you be when doomsday arrives, or not?

There is dense saturation on the topic of Armageddon, the Rapture, etc. on the airwaves of religious radio and TV shows; major films such as 2012,  and so forth as we approach an event horizon of December 21, 2012.    Many thinkers great and small continue to recount  their spiritual reflections on Doomsday.  I found this gem in a small town newspaper the Savage Pacer in Minnesota.   


"Camping isn’t the only source declaring dates of doom recently. Others are focused on the end of a major cycle for the Mayan calendar in 2012, convinced that the ancient civilization had some special insight into space and time. NASA, that great brain trust of space exploration, measurement and science, has been talking about an increase in solar flares next year, and has thousands of people sending in on-line questions, wondering what might happen to everything from communication satellites to the magnetic poles of the earth."

"The next time you hear someone telling you they know exactly what the end of days will look like, have compassion on them. They operate with some pretty extreme beliefs about the God and world, convictions that makes living their lives pretty hard. Chances are that fact alone makes them anxious for God to put an end to everything they know and have them begin anew in paradise. For them, it seems like the only real way out. And that is a sad way to live, don’t you think?"

For myself, I will stay alert, keep moving forward, and watch what unfolds.  

The Role of Spirituality in a Worldshift

We have all been hearing massive amounts of imminent doomsday predictions threatening extinction of mankind.  Here is a realistic, scientific and humanistic point of view on such an incendiary topic as our very survival.


"We are truly living in exciting times. The challenges and crises facing the world today are portents of imminent change in civilization. We are on the threshold of an incredible global evolutionary shift. The current panoply of global crises collectively reveals we are facing our own extinction. Scientists acknowledge that the current degradation of the environment and the massive loss of species, are evidence that we are deep into the sixth mass extinction to hit Earth since the origin of life."


"New science revises four fundamental beliefs that shape civilization. These flawed assumptions include: 1) The Newtonian vision of the primacy of a physical, mechanical Universe; 2) Genes control biology; 3) Evolution resulted from random genetic mutations; and 4) Evolution is driven by a struggle for the survival-of-the-fittest. These failed beliefs represent the “Four Assumptions of the Apocalypse,” for they are driving human civilization to the brink of extinction"

"Crises are harbingers of evolution. Albert Einstein wisely proffered, “We cannot solve the problems with the same thinking that created them.” Consequently, the planet’s hope and salvation lies in the adoption of revolutionary new knowledge being revealed at the frontiers of science. This new awareness is shattering old myths and rewriting the “truths” that shape the character of human civilization."


"The crises we face present us with the greatest opportunity in human history – conscious evolution. Through consciousness, our minds have the power to change our planet and ourselves. It is time we heed the wisdom of the ancient indigenous people and channel our consciousness and spirit to tend the Garden and not destroy it."


These are strong views and merely a sampling of the gold that is mined in this deeply
thoughtful, inspiring opinion by Dr. Bruce Lipton.  Brilliant.
