Really guys, I think that the whole idea of the preparation for 2012 is building to something big, and that is hype.
The idea is that everything is changing now. It is right now that you can allow yourself to focus on what truly makes you you. The world is not coming to an end in 2012. The common misconception is that there are people out there that are so fearful of the future, that they forget where they are in the now. It's this moment right now where change is happening, where a transition is occuring. It's not 2012. 2012 will hold some significant energetic changes, yes, but it is not something to concern yourself with. You are not in 2012 right now and the whole idea of people wanting to surmise what might happen really will get you nowhere within your life.
If you guys remember in Citizen of Atlas, 2012 was the focus of the main character's life. And it was all this fear of 2012 or uncertainty of 2012 that made him paranoid and fearful. It wasn't until he "truly" saw what awaited in the future that set his mind at ease and pursued it. There is no mass consensus on a single "reality" that will manifest in 2012. What you put out is what you get back. By being in the now and becoming that person whom you truly want to be, that will only reflect on tomorrow. But it is what you do today, how you behave today, what you put out today that always defines your tomorrow. Now is the time to live the way you want to live. No guilt of the past, or fear of the future. Only that balance point in the now will decide where you want to go in life, not a magical date.
