A POLE SHIFT IN OUR COLLECTIVE
PSYCHE
Our purpose is
to explore a radically different, more optimistic interpretation of the Mayan prophecy – as referring to the end of
the world as we have known it. Instead of predicting a physical destruction of the material world, the Mayan prophecy might
refer to death and rebirth and a mass inner transformation of humanity.
2012 is bringing a good deal of negative
and positive speculation as to its significance. Will our sun flare up and knock out our technological/communication base
in 2012, causing widespread panic? Will there be objects from space coming to Earth causing death and destruction? Will there
be a planetary pole shift? Will we become massively cognisant of other conscious life forms from either space or from other
dimensions? Will the first time-machine come from particle acceleration experiments causing the future to come roaring into
the present?
Or, are we going to have a massive wake-up as a species and create something truly wonderful?
JOHN MAJOR JENKINS points out in Maya Cosmogenesis 2012, “The Maya understood the principle of enantiodromis
(a principle introduced by psychiatrist Carl Jung that the superabundance of any force inevitably produces its opposite) and
believed it was driven by our changing orientation to the field-effects of the Galaxy… The Maya believed that the 26,000-year
Great Year of precession is a spiritual gestation period for humanity, and that the 2012 alignment will catalyze the birth
of what has been growing on this planet for 26,000 years. For the Maya, Father Sun’s movement into union with Cosmic
Mother’s heart also signified the insemination, or seeding, of what will come to fruition in 26,000 years. The 2012
era is about the birth of something new on this planet, but it is also a death, the rupture of the womb-world that held us
comfortably warm for millennia, unaware of the larger world outside of our limited sights.
“…Visions
of apocalypse, however, may originate more in erroneous notions of linear time combined with fears implanted by our own Judeo-Christian
conditioning than in reality. As a result of my studies of Maya end-date cosmology, I prefer to emphasize what might be termed
a pole shift in our collective psyche. This places the possibility of successful, positive transformation squarely on our
own hands. What I suspect this is about is already underway—a shift from the dominator mode so characteristic of our
civilization to a partnership style...
“Western or Euro-American civilization currently rules the globe through
dominator forms of coercion and resource control. This style of being-in-the-world can be traced back to the early city-states
of Sumer, the very beginnings of the current chapter in Earth’s history. Before Sumer, early ceremonial sites such as
Çatal Hüyük in Central Turkey reveal that a very different social style prevailed in late Neolithic times,
one that worshiped the Great Mother as the supreme life-principle and that honored relationship over status, partnership rather
than domination...
“Clearly, our distant ancestors participated in a style of culture that is fundamentally
antithetical to our own. And the pendulum of enantiodromia is swinging, pulling us out of ingrained habits, and stimulating
a renaissance of an ancient paradigm that may be our only salvation. Western civilization is now confronting its own shadow
on the form of global pollution, institutionalized corporate greed, and political instability. Fortunately, social upheavals
and changes in the last thirty years indicates that we already appear to be moving in a direction that celebrates co-creation,
relationship, and working together rather than violence, conquest, and force. In this emerging paradigm, we are indispensable
cocreators of the post-shift world. The real pole shift may thus be about a shift in our fundamental orientation to each other
and to the world, stimulated by our recommitment to life-affirming values. To go forward on our journey to collective wholeness,
we must abandon our illusions and return to the center, back to rejuvenation within the Great Mother, our cosmic heart and
source.
“The Maya understood that human civilization cycles from one extreme form of social organization
to the other. Out of this process of polarization, or spiritual mitosis, arises a new, greater being. Every time the cosmic
cell divides, every 26,000 years, we are one step closer to the birth of that vast higher being of which we are just cells.
Our committed, willing participation in the galactic processes of Maya cosmogenesis, recognizing our place in the great chain
of creation, is what enobles our souls and elevates our spirits to a plane infused with unity and relationship. The opening
doorway of baktum thirteen offers us conscious relationship with each other and a creative participation with the Earth-process
that gives birth to our higher selves.”
