2012: Why The Now Is More Important Than Ever
March 8th, 2008Daniel Taylor started an interesting discussion on Daniel Pinchbeck’s views regarding 2012 yesterday on the Synthesis blog.
He commented on Pinchbeck’s statement:
“My view is that “2012″ is useful as a meme if it helps us to catalyze a shift in global culture and consciousness. Rather than fretting about what may or may not happen on that date, we should concentrate on the work that needs to be done now, on an inner as well as outer level.”
Taylor’s comment:
“Despite being one of the foremost recent repopularizers of the idea that the year 2012…author Daniel Pinchbeck doesn’t seem so sure in a recent article posted to his Reality Sandwich website in which he calls 2012 a “useful meme”
-doesn’t seem to undermine the widespread thoughts on what 2012 portends.
Rather it seems directly in line with everything I’ve ever read, experienced or discussed with others. 2012 is a rapidly approaching date that requires nothing short of the most intensive self-analysis, self-discipline, self-healing, and awakening. And, as I commented on Taylor’s post:
“Now is the time for preparation: whipping yourself into shape for this event closing in fast is more important than any one thing any of us can do right now. Those that don’t find their footing and center now and clear the clutter from their lives (spiritually, emotionally, etc.) won’t be prepared to process and handle the forces at play.”
Just my two cents on the matter.
UPDATE: We’ve booked Daniel to speak at this year’s Lightning In A Bottle along with some other great guests.
