Old structures and ways of doing things are being broken down as the next age comes into alignment. What will happen energetically on 2012? Old patterns are getting more and more stressed as the alignment with the galactic center comes into tighter and tighter focus. As stress increases, the old ways of responding just don’t work. New models have to be created and new methods employed.
In this chapter, we’ll explore the new models and methods coming into focus with the 2012 alignment. We’ll explore inner preparedness and simple-to-follow exercises for centering and grounding. We’ll explore energy perception and other awareness tools.
Finding Your Inner Guru
Hunbatz Men and other Mayan Elders point to the prophecies and the return of Kukulkan as being a spiritual awakening; an awakening of each individual’s connection to inner spiritual dimensions. The old models of accessing wisdom are evolving. In the past you may have looked to someone else, a guru or spiritual teacher, to tell you how to interpret the world. The new models are about accessing your own inner wisdom and authority. We call this finding your inner guru.
There’s a part of you that knows exactly what to do in any situation. This part of you is in touch with your higher self, with the flows of energy around you, and with your clear and focused center. This part knows the world is an expression of energy. Interpreting events as flows of energy helps to determine right action. All you need to do is make sure energy keeps flowing.
Your Authentic Self
The first step in finding your inner guru is living from your authentic self. This concept is being talked about a lot these days. Your authentic self is the part of you that knows you’re not your physical body. Your physical body is a wonderful expression and extension of yourself, but it’s not who you are. You’re something much bigger and more complete. In the words of empowerment speakers Robert Burney and Wayne Dwyer, “We are not humans seeking a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
Accessing the inner guru may require you to change. You may find yourself embracing new attitudes and releasing self-imposed limitations. You limit yourself every time you base your identity on fear; every time you see yourself as not being enough, or having enough, or feeling enough to be successful. As we discussed in Chapter 19, fear is a natural and necessary emotion, one you want to acknowledge and learn from. However, every time you let fear take you out of your place of inner knowing, you have linked your identity in limitation. In our example in Chapter 19, your inner guru knows it’s safe to cross the empty street. Only your fear keeps you standing still.
Celestial Connection
Living from your authentic self includes acknowledging spirit as it moves through your life. The Mayan calendars, in all their intricate interactions, demonstrate one truth very clearly: there’s a cosmic design to life, a plan that’s unfolding with the movement of the spheres. Whatever direction 2012 is taking, there’s a plan and purpose with a higher level of nature at work.
Developing Awareness
Developing tools of awareness is another means to finding your inner guru. Just as you are more than your body, your awareness is more than the sum of your senses. It includes the ability to access intuition. Your body is an extraordinary
