What if the Mayan long calendar prophecy is accurate such that a major shift (a\k\a polar shift, apocalypse, Armageddon, doomsday, end of the world as we know it, etc.) occurs on December 21, 2012?
- If notice was presented today that the prophesy of Mayan Long Calendar was guaranteed to occur as predicted on December 21, 2012, do you think that a disciplined monk, like the Dalai Lama, would (substantially) change his daily routine?
No, he most definitely would not substantially alter the structure of his daily practice (other than to increase the urgency of service to help others with this transition and to reduce focus on post-December 21, 2012 financial responsibilities). Why not alter his daily structure? Because he lives with his focus only upon the present moment. Thereby he accesses his soul, not ego. And, thereby he accesses, through his inner voice (as the soul’s infinite wisdom is shared via dreams, intuition and synchronicity) his unique life purpose and life service—and so lives each moment in alignment with the truth of his highest life path.
As described in Encyclopedia of the Tao: A-to-Z, Tibetan Lama Arjia Rinpoche (responsible for Tibetan Buddhism in the US of A) asks himself a mantra in each moment, “What is right action?” He asks himself what is the best thing that he can do for humanity and the cosmos, in each moment. And, presumably, he acts upon the whisper of his intuition in each moment. If told that a polar shift will occur on December 21, 2012, do you think that he would change this mantra or practice? No way! His inner voice might shift its message a bit, perhaps urging him to find ways to more quickly serve more people, but his daily practice (e.g., healthy food, meditation, creativity, service) would not be altered. His work would go on tomorrow as it did today-even if Lama Rinpoche was told with 100 percent assurance that a polar shift was imminent.
- Would you change your daily routine in any way if you knew that a cataclysmic event was definitely going to occur on December 21, 2012?
If the answer to this question is ‘yes’ (other than with regard to financial responsibilities after 21 December 11) … then, it matters not whether or not the Mayan prophesy is accurate. It’s time for you to turn your focus to the present moment. And so access the voice of the soul—rather than ego, so you can innately gain access to your unique life purpose and life service. And live in alignment with the core truth of who you are, immediately … in this moment. And this moment. And this moment. Et al.
- Do you think that a cataclysmic event has a good, bad or indifferent impact on your personal evolution?
Please note that there are many levels from which to approach this question. From one theoretic standpoint–like all experience, even a cataclysmic event is favorable, as we learn from all experiences. We will learn from the experience, if it occurs. Our souls will continue on their journeys, no matter what transpires. And, should this experience occur, our souls will continue with enhanced self-understanding.
