What if the World Ends This Month? It's hard to imagine that something that's been around for 4.5 billion years is going  to suddenly cease to exist this month. Especially on a specific date this month. And certainly, if not this month, then surely on December 21, 2012. Hundreds of internet stories, channelings, and/or prophecies, make it sound like the end is quite near. Biblical passages are interpreted according to Armageddon beliefs, conspiracy theories are created to support a point of view, or the visible evidence of mother nature's wrath confirms the statement, See, we told you so! Actually, with conditions on the planet seemingly so awful on every front, a huge shakeup just might be welcomed news all around. But, I digress. Things reached a fever pitch this year after a Comet named Elenin, entered our solar system in December 2010. Comets, are "dirty snowballs" primarily made up of loosely packed ice and dust. There are 4,185 identified comets in our solar system. Yet, why Comet Elenin's arrival caused such a big stir can only be attributed to the atmosphere of fear that prevails on our planet, which leaves most people feeling impotent.  It is claimed that Elenin will bring cataclysm to the planet such as we've not seen since Atlantis or Lemuria sank. Theories abound that Elenin's proximity to earth will cause a pole shift that will be preceded by three days of darkness. A recent website proclaimed with much certitude that a series of "pre-cataclysms" would occur between mid-August and September 5th. As soon as those dates passed without incident the website removed the dates and issued an update that the cataclysm had been replaced by "relatively small disasters" so that civilization could continue.In the spirit of thoughtful discourse about the end times I did a little research. It seems that Comet Elenin will make its closest approach to earth on October 16th. For those who say it will create three days of darkness, that doesn't appear to be possible. Seen from the earth, the comet will not cross the face of the sun. Even if it did, the comet is but 2-3 miles across in size while the sun is 865,000 miles in diameter. For a comet of 2-3 miles in diameter to darken the sun (as in an eclipse) it would have to be 250 miles above the earth. This one is 22 million miles away. Let's compare Elenin to the "Great Comet" Hale-Bopp which entered the solar system in 1997. It was visible to the naked eye for 18 months and seen by most people on earth. Hale-Bopp was estimated to be 25 miles in diameter. Yet what effect did it have on the planet? Yes, there were significant blizzards and then flooding in north America, but that was attributed to climate change, not the comet.  There were other events that occurred in 1997 that had a much larger impact on humanity. Focusing on world events, 120 countries signed an agreement to eliminate land mines; the UN prohibition on Chemical Weapons went into effect; 150 countries signed the Kyoto Protocol on global warming; Britain gave Hong Kong back to China. If those events were influenced by Comet Hale-Bopp then I personally look forward to the arrival of little Elenin.But if, (and that's a big IF) it should do what others suggest and the world does come to an end this month, what would you do? You've got twenty-eight days to live! How would you live those 28 days? What would you do different than you do now in your daily life? Would you head for high ground? So where would you go and what would you do? Here's what I would do. To start, I wouldn't go anywhere for if the poles shift there is no high ground. I also recognize that the  earth is always in a state of releasing and purifying herself so perhaps this cleansing is long overdue. I also believe that our time in physical form is of a much shorter duration than our time in spirit form and it is to that spirit I would be returning. Therefore, I'd continue to look for the good in all while holding a vision of more enlightened ones returning to earth in a future time. On a practical level, I'd talk every day with close friends, loved ones, or family, sharing our life stories, holding each other close and affirming love and kindness. I'd go for walks in the morning and evening, catching breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that always make me feel closer to spirit. Last, I'd light a candle, a stick of incense, sit down in meditation and wait. I'd do that all month until Elenin arrives. Come to think of it, this is what I do every day! So for me, this month won't be any different. What about you? Om shanti, shanti, shanti! ADDENDUM: It seems Comet Elenin, made up of dust and ice, was felled by the sun's heat in late September. A massive solar flare reduced it's size, visibility and impact. The comet is all but forgotten. Until the next fearful thing consumes our collective psyche. ++++++++++++++ Jo Mooy - October, 2011 |

10.10.10 - A Catalytic Date
Triple-digit calendar dates are Gregorian calendar numerological points in time that began on the first month of 2001 and will end on the 12th month of 2012. The rare dates, 1/1/1 through 12/12/12, correspond to the twelve months of the year and 
the twelve astrological signs. As we approach 2012, the dates have become energetic focal points for people to come together.
While most people outside the metaphysical communities have no awareness of the meaning of the dates, the three digits are energetic trigger-points that cause us to focus on the date as a time of personal and planetary healing. United in thought and intention with people all over the world, these dates can accelerate catalytic changes in us and serve as point-in-time frequency markers. When we hold a noble intention on these days, it gives us an opportunity to check on our state of consciousness, and to recalibrate ourselves as we prepare for the end times of the Mayan Long Count calendar.
Since the start of the 21st century, we've seen much more activity as groups come together to hold gatherings in recognition of the triune dates. Many have traveled to Egypt, Peru, or Mayan lands to participate in sacred rituals or ceremonies organized by the native peoples on 7/7/7, 8/8/8 and 9/9/9. Others developed or synchronized local events that united their efforts with those in far-away places. As the decade has proceeded and we've come closer to the Year Zero end-date of the Mayan Long Count calendar, the events have become even more common.
While the Gregorian calendar is not aligned with the Mayan Calendar per se, there's
general consensus that something unique is happening at this time on earth and we need to step up our intentions of purpose and good-will. Global communications via the internet or television show us daily how old systems and ways of thinking are collapsing. New scientific telescopes trained on the solar system and the galaxies dissolve old beliefs and enlighten us with information about the origin of the universe and our place in it. If nothing else the new findings stir great debate about our cosmology.
Yet other changes are also underway, though perhaps not as evident. Instead of waiting for religious or governmental leaders to lead the way, the people themselves are responding to the changes or directing that which they want to see. They are engaging in local projects of self-reliance while still caring or looking out for their neighbors. There's a sense that we're all in this together and only by joining with like-minded resolve can we address and endure the changes that are affecting us.

While it was always common to celebrate seasonal changes like the equinoxes and solstices the annual triune dates have become beacons of hope to help awaken humanity. This month we celebrate a rare triple-digit calendar date that happens once a millennium. It is the 10th day of the 10th month of the 10th year.On 10.10.10 we are summoned to hold sacred space. On 10.10.10 we calm 
ourselves from the chaotic mind. On 10.10.10 we invoke the guidance of self-mastery. On 10.10.10, we join in ceremony with others who are also called to hold the time sacred. On 10.10.10 we rise above our limitations and affirm that we are much more than we have ever been. On 10.10.10 we open our hearts in loving compassion, for our own self-healing and for that of the planet.

The date, unique as it is, serves as a catalyst to remind us that not only this date but any date, can be proclaimed sacred. Any day that calls us together in harmony creates a vibration of unity. Any day that opens boundlessness in thought lights up an energetic field. Any day that allows us to live in the heart, begins our awakening. Any day that reduces tension and dissolves separation between people is a fine day. On 10.10.10 we are reminded that humanity can indeed achieve illumination by living in the heart and holding sacred every day.
