The Global Awakening, also known as the Shift, is what the 2012 Mayan Calendar was referring to. It is actually the end of one cycle, and the beginning of a new cycle. The transition from one cycle to the new one is the Shift, or Awakening, we are experiencing. The other day, Waking Times released a fantastic article describing the Shift. Here are some of my favorite excerpts:
- “A growing number of individuals in recent years have begun a conscious process of awakening. This has been significant in beginning to shift the consciousness of the planet; yet, still these numbers have been relatively small, considering the billions of people now alive on the earth.
- They’re saying that for the first time ever on the earth, something monumental is shifting in the human experience as a whole: a shift of consciousness toward greater spiritual awakening.
Indeed, some are saying a new species of human being is emerging, and a new earth is being born.

The Outer Shift
Read alternative and international news sources and you can see clearly, for example, that unprecedented disclosure of corruption, greed and exploitation is occurring within a wide range of institutions in society.
In the last year, literally hundreds of top officials in financial institutions and governments the world over have been resigning, mysteriously disappearing, getting fired, being fined or taken to court.
Meanwhile, the internet is empowering and uniting people across the globe like never before in history. Millions are experiencing a sense of oneness—and the power of this unification.
There’s a new kind of joy and sense of jubilant freedom that people around the world are beginning to express.
At the same time, communities everywhere are creating positive changes in their local areas, over-turning old corrupt systems that no longer work. Women across the world are asserting their rights like never before in history. And science is discovering cheap, clean energy, as well as ways to feed everyone in the world and create drinking water from the ocean.

The “In-Between Times”
It’s clear that old societal structures and paradigms based on greed, competition and patriarchal ideals are at long last collapsing—while new structures and paradigms based on justice, love and equality are arising in their place.
But what we’re experiencing at this point is what has been called the “In-Between Times”—times of chaos, confusion and rapid, intense changes—while one age dies and another is born.
These tumultuous times will likely continue for a while, as the new positive energies interact with the old energies on their way out. But eventually a new earth will inevitably emerge out of the chaos. What an exciting time to be alive!

The Inner Shift
The same intense shifts happening in the world are also showing up in many of our personal lives. At times, we’re being shaken to our core, as we experience old negative patterns arising with a vengeance, finally demanding resolution.
Loss assails us on many levels: in our relationships, our home life, our work. Old identities are disintegrating, and once-comfortable situations are becoming unbearable. We’re stepping into unknown territory where nothing is predictable or certain.
It’s disorienting and at times downright scary. And yet, along with all this confusion and loss, many of us are also experiencing profound spiritual awakenings like never before. Deep joy arises within us at the strangest times. Synchronicity abounds in our lives. An exquisite and all-embracing love is blossoming in our hearts for all of life.
At times, profound peace steals over us for no apparent reason. We feel the presence of a magnificent divine Self arising within us, gently nudging the ego aside. We know we’re witnessing something new and ever so precious being born within us.”
