2012 and Disaster Lust November 29, 2009
Posted by bodhidude in : Society, Transformation , trackback
It has been interesting over the last few years to watch the concept of 2012 emerge into mass consciousness and grow into the household word it is today. Given its popularity there are now a wide range of perceptions as to what meaning the 2012 date holds. As it has become more popular, I find it interesting but not surprising that it has assumed the projection of a destructive apocalyptic future. This is most clearly illustrated by the current blockbuster film “2012″ which I watched for the first time yesterday more out of curiosity than anything else.
As I anticipated it was an expensive movie with amazing special effects, poor acting that modeled stereotypical American roles and carried forward a theme which has been developing for some time. The amazing special effects were devoted to depicting as realistically as possible the utter destruction of our planet and almost everyone on it. There were graphic allusions to 9/11 with images of crumbling skyscrapers with people jumping or falling out of them while others are crushed by rubble or tidal waves. The poorly developed shallow characters go through a non-stop frantic nearly impossible adventure to be one of the privileged few survivors. In the movie, high tech arks are built for the elite while everyone else is left to die, not too surprising either. The transformation the planet goes through is entirely physical with the same underlying consciousness being carried into the “new world”.
As I watched this movie, I noticed that there was a part of me that loved it even though it was a lousy negative movie. What I loved was the disaster and how well the imagery depicted it. I began to question why I would find enjoyment in watching such a realistic depiction of my planet being ravaged and my fellow human beings dying violently? What dawned on me was that this was the part of me that sees the dysfunction and pain of this world and secretly longs for the whole mess to finally be over. This is the part of my psyche that is invested in the world of materialism, struggle and work. The old paradigm which constitutes a life devoid of meaning, compassion and loving-kindness. Why wouldn’t I want “that world” to be over? It is the death wish of the ego that is cut off from life, spirit and meaning.
I began to see this recurrent theme of disaster and destruction in a new light. A reflection of the dying paradigm we find ourselves in today. The death throws of the materialist world and so why wouldn’t that look like massive explosive violent destruction on a material level? The outward images of destruction also represent the incredible inner turmoil so many are experiencing right now as the inner conflicts that are at the source of what is playing out in the world continue to be illuminated. For me, 2012 isn’t a date it is a wake up call for the psyche. It is an evolutionary threshold and if we wish to evolve beyond this point an expansion or elevation in consciousness is required so that we can embody the incredible power we have in healthy non-destructive way. If not, that power can destroy us much like in the movie except we are not victims but the architects of our own destruction brought about by our resistance to awakening.
What this movie represents is potentially a valuable tool if we look at what it is reflecting inside us. An invitation to go inward and address the inner conflict and destructiveness that is at the root of our own shadow side. If consciously faced on an inner level this incredible destructive force can be transformed into light, into awakening, into the very power of true transformation. Our practice in my view is to find a middle path, not indulging in it unconsciously but also not turning away from it in denial. When we embrace the light while denying the darkness, the darkness eventually takes us over. Ultimately demons cannot be overcome by force or by avoiding or fleeing from them because they are created by separation and resistance. They can only be dissolved through acceptance, compassion and direct conscious engagement because they are a part of us which has been cut off. We then free the power that they hold and reclaim it for our growth and realize there never really was a demon just a part of us screaming for attention.

Stunningly articulated.Thank you for sharing the clarity of the planetary dreaming process as it is arising in your field of awareness. It is a gift for us to ride the winds of this inspiration – fanning the flames of our creative lucidity. It feels like you are speaking as an essential conscious drop in our collective human soup that is being brewed by the Mystery itself. It tastes good! I look forward to sharing this transmission with my 2012 time-travelling community. In Lak’ech – I am Another Yourself, Eden Sky, Red Self-Existing Skywalker

[...] Also, here’s a great article by a friend of mine I’d love to recommend called 2012 and Disaster Lust [...]
Great insights my friend I too felt the same as you about the destruction for at times I feel that some folks are just too caught in the illusions of this man made matrix & materialism and maybe we need a good cleansing, but my take on the story line is different I appreciated the sincerity of the scientists and their portrayal of sincerity of wanting to warn others of the impending disaster. And yes this is our creation with a little help from our mind control programmers of the New World Order…..I hope some one makes a film on the incredible energy that is moving us all toward a higher awareness and remembrance of who we are….I recommend folks reading Ashayana Deannes books Voyagers 1 & 2 for there is so much more happening as we move toward 2012 and the continued opening of the Star Gates…..we are blessed to be in a body at this most sacred time my friends, be well In Lak’ech

Thank you for putting to words what I am feeling right now. Sometimes the pain of the world becomes strong inside of me and all I am left with is my breath. When we could all do it so much better, why then then do we not? Why do humans choose pain over light? The transformation of the coming age is apocalyptic for old beliefs and old ways of treating one another. I am looking forward to meeting all of you on the conscious plane!
So well put. I love the dance of words that you have used. I am currently in the US trying to find someone to ghostwrite my memoirs with me. I lived with a tribe of Gypsies here in the US for 6 years and have a great story to tell.
I am schooled in the Mayan time keeping system and co-own an adventure yoga retreat in Bahia Brasil, there we teach others about the calender and Kundalini Yoga, surfing ,capoeira,hiking,rafting and so much more..
Would you know anyone that may be interested in helping me on my journey of writing my tales?? It would be a great spiritual undertaking.

Yes! And it may be worth noting that this movie was written, produced and directed by the same who brought us alien infesting “Independence Day” & global warming propaganda piece “The Day After Tomorrow”, the common theme being: global threat to our way of life can only be met and overcome by governmental means.
Such is the advertised perception from a relative flatland of consciousness so fixated on fear that it fails to see how fear is merely a shadow cast by our infinite potential. The shadows are still long, but the new Sun/Son is rising.
