2012: The Stages of Grief and Spirituality

2012:  The Stages of Grief and Spirituality

When people first hear about the Mayan calendar ending on December 21, 2012, they often follow a pattern similar to the stages of grief.  This is the story of the millennium, yet we'll never hear this truth on the mainstream media.  This is a truth we find out as we begin our spiritual journey.

Five Stages Of Grief
1. Denial and Isolation
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance

Denial and Isolation
At first we may deny the Mayan calendar end date or may not even accept the calendar at all.  We may withdraw from our "normal" lives in areas such as maintaining relationships or possible neglecting personal health.

Anger
We may become upset at this point, or even begin to panic, regarding only having "x" amount of years to live.  We may become angry at the world or the mainstream media for allowing us to be unaware of this end date until now. 

At this stage, one begins to devise a plan on how to survive an apocalyptic outcome to 2012.  They may go as far as to make a list of necessities they'll need, thinking ahead of what types of guns and ammunition they'll want to fend off others, where they'll live and what they'll live in (or under).

Bargaining
In the grieving process, people ask God to make a deal with them.  "If I do _________, will you take away the pain?"  In the spiritual progression, we may do something similar, but while on this phase, we also learn the truth to organized religion.

Depression or Enlightenment
Some devout Christians may feel abandoned or foolish while others may be upset and will revert back to the anger phase.  Many will become depressed while many others will simply deny or reject the truth because they choose to believe the truth of others instead of looking to themselves for the truth.

Others will begin their journey of Enlightenment by conducting further research into religion and spirituality.  We realize that we have two basic emotions, love and fear and we choose not to buy into fear-mongering propaganda such as watching television as much (or at all) or reading the newspapers. 

Acceptance
This is where the magic truly begins!  As we develop our own meditation rituals and practices, we begin to feel our flames grow brighter each day.  We realize that fear is a crucial element for our global consciousness to awaken and we embrace the opportunities each day to overcome fear with love.  We're able to watch television (if we so desire) without fear and are able to understand why the dark must exist.  We thank the darkness for leading us to the Light.  While we embrace the darkness for leading us to where we are, we may not necessarily agree with their actions, but remain grateful for their part in our spiritual journey.

We realize that God, Muhammad, Allah, or whatever name you desire to call our Supreme Creator walks with us, not behind us or in front of us.  He does not advocate war or killing one another as they did in the Crusades or as they're doing in the Gulf through Holy Wars. 

We acknowledge and are grateful for the benevolent extra-terrestrial and inner-terrestrial beings who are helping us through their acts of kindness by overseeing our progression into the Golden Age by disarming nuclear warheads, preventing manmade catastrophes while averting galactic catastrophes, all in the name of love. 

Manifestations become much easier as we focus our desires to benefit all of humanity.  Previously unknown abilities may arise or will continue to develop as we focus on spreading love and kind intentions to the world.

We also learn one of the most important lessons: Miracles do happen and we are the creators of them through global consciousness!  Individually, we are just a drop of water in the ocean but together we ARE the ocean!
