Actual Mayan Prophecy: “On December 22 or 23, 2012 time as we know it will end.”
I was just at the beach in Mexico re-reading the Mayan Prophecies for our times, when I had a blind flash of the obvious (BFO). I realized that though I feel awe for the ancient Mayan seers, spending energy documenting, validating or fearing the predictions actually slows down my evolution. Why?
Two reasons. Number One: the predictions are already self-evident: they read like the daily newspapers...polar melting, extreme climate shifts, new diseases, religions and governments falling apart… proving them is a distraction from the real opportunity at hand.
The real focus is Number Two: I need my energy resources to accomplish the most important message in these predictions. The message is a call to action to contribute to a shift in consciousness, which will evolve our world. Short version: retire from the ego/fear driven life immediately! The message is not new. The timing and the “how to” are available now.
So my first priority, (and hopefully also yours) is to focus on making the personal, internal shift from fear-based thoughts and actions, to ones based on love… starting now.
I do not mean this in an airy-fairy way. I am talking about the only way to permanently evolve beyond the same old violations of human and planetary dignity, which have been repeating endlessly throughout human history.
This is not an intellectual shift. It is not about fixing anyone or anything. It is placing the heart and soul in the driver’s seat of our lives, and retiring the ego/mind to the passenger’s seat. It is living with an open heart, adopting heart-based wisdom as our primary fuel, and coming from this place no matter what. This means no longer being reactive to people/circumstances, which typically annoy us. It means coming from the big picture, heart/soul perspective even in the presence of the escalating list of planetary disasters.
All this is easy to say, and it is challenging to embody this shift. Let’s do this together. Let’s make the empowerment of the conscious minority a global phenomenon.
If you feel called to join me, every week my blog will include strategies, experiences, updates and support for becoming as conscious as possible now.
I so appreciate all that you have written! What I just noticed as I just re-read both of your comments, is that your second comment is the demonstration of what you articulated in your first comment! Bravo! And truly thank you for your wisdom and stregnth combined with your openness and vulnerability. Love, Carol

Dear Carol,
Now, here's the real Truth (mine, at least). What I wrote above is true. However, it came from what I know, from my mind. Here's my actual experience today. I have really been dealing with the fear of being alone, and the fear of being unable to handle things, which actually has brought me to facing death. I have been filled with fear all day--I mean terrible fear. I tried breathing into it, allowing it to be, etc., and then realized that I really wasn't allowing it to be here forever, if it needed to be. I was really trying to be with it and wanting that to make it go away. What happened later was that I called my dear friend on the phone and told her of my experience. She had great compassion for me (which I had been unable to do all day, really). It was this compassion that brought me to my heart. Her compassion led me to my compassion for myself. She also shared some wisdom with me, that really helped and reminded me about moving towards what you fear--rather than moving away from it. I realized that what I want to do is to actually prepare for death, invite it to be part of my life. I can do that by getting rid of everything that I no longer need--throwing away all kinds of things, as well as old beliefs. So, the two things that I learned today are to let someone you love and who loves you (and who is able to do this) hear your story and witness your struggle. It allows an opening of the heart. The other thing is to move towards what I fear, not away from it. I am planning a short trip to feel again what it feels like to be alone. This struggle, this humanness is actually precious. Thanks to my dear, dear friend for being there. I wasn't alone after all.
Love, Barbara

Dear Carol, This reminds me of the Tao Te Ching when it says, "She who is centered in the Tao can go where she wishes, without danger. She perceives the universal harmony, even amid great pain, because she has found peace in her heart." So, by allowing our own fear, anger, doubt, to just "be", we will help create change in the universal. It is by allowing our feelings to have lots of space (feeling the feeling fully without acting) that we clear ourselves. This means not suppressing it nor projecting it out. What a task! What you say about shifting into Love is beautiful. Unconditional love accepts all the chaos within and without before moving. From there we will know exactly what to do. This is real energy management. Thanks for your great blog and beautiful site.
Love, Barbara

Hey beautiful one... thank you for including me on your mailing... this is wonderful. Congratulations on launching this site - I'm sure it will be a gift to many... including me. A few comments... one - I know a Jane Fogelman in Charlottsville, VA... don' t know if that would be the same Jane Fogelman.... two - seeing your picture makes me happy! And three - I'm so taken by the Mayan prediction. The world as we know it has already begun to change, and I believe that will continue to happen. It is with the continual change in mind that I stand on Dag Hammarskjold's quote, "For all that has been - thank you. For all that is yet to come - yes." Thanks and love to you, Carol.... n~

This website is the vehicle which will take your message to those who will listen in this world of ours. I am very glad to see this step, or should I say leap toward the dawning of a new consciousness- heart driven and enabled-which may very well touch millions of others. Congratulations and kudos to you Carol for having the "Courage to Create." This phrase is borrowed from Rollo May. Thnak you for offering this forum. Sincerely, Jane Folgeman
