The new multi-author book “Transforming Through 2012: Leading Perspectives on a New Global Paradigm” has just been published. I am one of 33 contributors to this resource guide to these changing times and the global consciousness shift.
A wide range of expertise is reflected in this volume–scientists, futurists, mystics, indigenous elders, social innovators, and spiritual healers and teachers share their perspectives on the rapid, transformational change that is underway and will peak in the next few years.
As I read through this book I was struck by how we all took a positive, hopeful stance on the outcomes of this planetary shift, despite our different takes on how difficult life may become for many during the transition. The book reflects strong agreement that humanity has an unprecedented opportunity to envision and co-create a peaceful, sustainable future. Below are some of the insights offered.
“We are privileged to be on the planet at this time, positioned to witness and experience the outer (planetary and cultural) and inner (personal and spiritual) effects of this shift.”
–Debra Giusti
“Many interpret this Grand Alignment [in 2012] as the crossover point from a dark age into an age of accelerated evolution for mankind. Such an evolutionary shift is not without its challenges. People will be faced with the need to release old models and embrace entirely new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating.”
–Georgy Noory
“We have seen a series of jumps in the past, but probably never one as radical and far-reaching as the jump we are experiencing today.”
–Jean Houston
“Seems to me that flexibility and permeability (allowing new ideas to get through) are of critical importance here.”
–John L. Petersen
“What is forming right now is a worldwide community of pioneering souls, a communion of people attracted to expressing and giving their gifts to the world….The connectivity of such evolving humans is rapidly creating a resonant field, and a new critical mass of coherence and creativity that can shift the direction of human history.”
–Barbara Marx Hubbard
“Let us consciously begin a de-urbanization of the human experience, returning to more natural, rural, environmentally friendly settings and living areas to experience our place in nature in relationship to the environment and more closely akin to our ancestors.”
–M. Kalani Souza
“When you make the shift and start living in the quantum energy field, you naturally start to activate amazing quantum biological processes, connecting you to the universe and what is, ultimately, beyond the universe.”
–Paul and Lillie Weisbart
“…everywhere, human imaginal cells are awakening to a new possibility. They are clustering, communicating and tuning into a new, coherent signal of love. We are now between ‘two worlds’–the caterpillar world where our future is limited by our creepy-crawly past, and the butterfly world where humanity can soar to reach its highest potential….the transformation of humanity requires our participation.”
–Bruce H. Lipton and Steven Bhaerman
“If the human species wants to survive, the civilization that replaces this one is going to have a different set of values and a revamped operating system.”
–Daniel Pinchbeck
“If we can learn to ride this wave of creativity, celebrating pluralism and all that our confluences of difference have to offer, then we will develop cognitively for what comes next, building up our resilience for managing change, rathern than succumbing to fundamentalism or co-option.”
–Marilyn Mandala Schlitz
