Day D : Happy New Love Era !

December 21st, 2012, 11:11 am in the clock of the site http://time.is

Here we are; at the much hyped, revered, commercialised, anticipated, and very often feared, the date of December 21st, 2012. This morning on the Internet, I caught, in the picture above, the exact moment of transition to the New Era at 11:11 am.

Any anniversary is almost an arbitrary moment we choose to celebrate some great event or simply a pleasant moment. The Long Count in the Mayan calendar ends exactly today at 11:11am. Many of us see in this date a symbolic date of the new Age of Humanity. An age of Love, Harmony and Awakening.

So, in this great symbolic day, I'd like to tell you "Happy New Era !" 

 

A cycle of 26000 years ends, another begin... Happy New Era !

Is has been proved that a world dominated by the mind, the ego leads us to all kind of calamities. So let's begin this new era by being more heart oriented, more loving, less calculating, more sharing, less hoarding, more feeling, less thinking, more gratitude, less complaint, more happiness, less sorrow, more play, less seriousness, more here and now, less there and tomorrow, more be, less become, more whole, less many...

Despite outwardly the World didn't change, but if  you trust your heart, you will know that the changes are tremendous. The light has definitely won and the age of darkness is behind us forever... When you celebrate your birthday it doesn't mean that you have gained a whole year during the day of celebration. The aging process lasted for one year and your celebrate at the climax. The same here, our collective and individual awakening has begun many years ago. Today is a day of celebration. But the process is not finished. It is still going on. For me, today it is the greatest day in my lifetime so far. If a greater day is to come, there will be no "me" to celebrate it, but the Universe will ...

D - 1 : One God, One Consciousness

Day D minus One

Today is The Day Before ...The Day Of Love, just one day away from the so much expected December 21st, 2012. In this beautiful day, instead of long discourses, I'd like to share with you what the number One is inspiring me, with some pictures and comments. Enjoy !

Muslims have this beautiful sentence stating the Oneness of God : "There Is No God But God", no matter how you name Him, Brahman, Yahweh, God, Allah, The Source, etc. So many names, so many symbols but the same Oneness 

Obelisk in Luxor (Egypt), Paris (France) and Washington (USA), the same form pointing to Sky, to Heaven ... to God

Unfolding Red Rose in my balcony. I took the left photo three days ago. The right one is a today December 20th, 2012.
Despite the relative cold weather in Casablanca, this red rose of spring is daring to unfold this December to share with us our celebration of Love, of God, the One. The Soil nourishing this rose is from the same Earth sustaining human bodies. The Life animating this rose is the same Consciousness flourishing in human beings. Ultimately, we are One.

Four Days Before Day of Love

Since we are four days before the iconic date of December 21st, 2012, I would like to share with you some thoughts and feelings about  a four letters word : LOVE. Why this word ? since it is the best word describing the era we are symbolically going to enter next Friday.
So, for a few minutes, relax in your sitting, open your heart and let go with me in this little journey of Love.

What is going to happen on December 21, 2012 at 11:11 am ?

Before talking about Love, let's answer this nagging question : "What is going to happen next Friday ?"

The short answer : nothing

A bit longer answer would be this : we can't say that nothing will happen tomorrow or any coming day, since nobody can predict the future. Since Live is unpredictable. We can't either assert that nothing will happen since many events happy or unhappy happen everyday in every corner of the world. But if the question is about the prophecies predicting disasters which may end Life on planet Earth, the answer is clearly NO. There is no scientific evidence, religious indication or spiritual clue associating the date of December 21, 2012 with any disaster. So there is absolutely no reason to fear any catastrophe next Friday or any other day. 

But the french proverb says "Il n'y a pas de fumée sans feu" (There is no smoke without fire). If there is anything to fear why all this mess in Internet ? Why am I talking about this date here ? Concerning Internet there is always ill persons who have interests in provoking fear and terror in innocent people. They have various agendas. Some are aiming to controlling human beings by propagating fear. Other have pecuniary goals : selling books, kits, shelters and many stuffs to "be prepared" for the doomsday. Of course this is all nonsense for me but marketing strategies for others.

Personally I love talking about this date of December 21st, 2012, since it symbolizes a beginning of a new cosmic era, an Era of Harmony and Love. The great cycle of 26000 years in the Mayan calendar ends this  day and another cycle starts. Many scientists, scholars, religious leaders and spiritual teachers agree that humanity has to make a clear choice now : If we continue in our current trend exhausting natural resources and killing each others, we are heading to our own extinction. If we choose to change our life paradigms from War to Peace and from Earth Destruction to Harmony with Nature, we will be able not only to survive as a species but to thrive and go forward in human evolution. And what is the key behind the new paradigm of "Peace and Harmony with Nature" ? It is LOVE. And this why I would like to talk about Love today.

What is Love ?

In the free dictionary, the love is defined as "1- A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person" and as "2- A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair". These are beautiful definitions approaching some manifestations of Love, but my preferred and own definition of Love is : "Love is the Feeling of Oneness" Let me  illustrate this definition by living situations. When you love a pet or a human being you like to hug and kiss it/him. Hugging is a try to merge physically with the beloved one. We can also notice that in sex, or "love making", there is also a desire to "penetrate" and to dissolve in the other person. So behind the physical manifestations of love, there is a strong feeling of oneness inducing an innocent, yet naive, desire to be physically one with the object of love. Hence my preferred definition of "Feeling of Oneness". 

The  Oneness feeling is the strong form of love : we lose our individuality and we merge in our beloved. We are dissolved and we form a single being with the beloved. But there is also a less strong feeling of Oneness : sometimes it is felt and expressed by words designating a part or an internal organ of our body : heart, liver, baby, etc. Heart is a common expression; what about liver ? in Moroccan language for example we can say "q'bitti" (my little liver) to express a love situation ! "Baby" is used with reference to a baby in mother's womb : it is an integral part of the mother's body.

So the first keyword in my definition is "Oneness", the second keyword is "Feeling". Love is not a concept in the mind, it is a feeling. Since it is not a concept we can't grasp it by defining it using words. The word "Oneness" in my definition of Love is not "Love", it is just an indication or an invitation to feel Love. So to have a little glimpse of love dear reader, close you eyes after reading the current sentence, and try to remember a situation when you met a beloved being after a while or the moment when you were going to leave your beloved; then try to relive the moment when you hugged her/him/it. In this moment, the time stops, your body is flood by an indescribable energy, tears come to your eyes, your body is shaken by vibrations and then it is followed by a deep stillness and a desire that this moment lasts for eternity. You had experienced Love.

The New Era of Love

In the Love's definition above, "Feeling of Oneness", it lacks the object of Love. I firstly defined Love as "Feeling of Oneness with a Being", then I removed "with a being" in my definition. Why ? Since it will restrict the scope of Love. The true Love has no borders, no object : it is an unconditional flowing Love towards anything, without distinction. Let's see this in more details.

The main objective of our journey in this planet is to learn "Love". In primary stages of our evolution we had to learn Love in easy situations : love of our family, parents, children, wives and husbands, etc. It is easy to love them since there is a concrete link with those persons facilitating the feeling of oneness : blood, physical similarity, etc. Then came the second stage of love : your neighbour, your city or country fellow, etc. Then came the ultimate Love expressed in Gospel and in Quran :

Matt. 5:44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you...

وَلَا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٌ ﴿41:34﴾

(41:34) (O Prophet), good and evil are not equal. Repel (evil) with that which is good, and you will see that he, between whom and you there was enmity, shall become as if he were a bosom friend (of yours).

These words are not new but the humanity didn't really understand them. This Love of "the enemy" was understood and applied by a few minority but most of human being saw in this wise recommendation just a poetry they don't apply in their day to day life. 

This was the era we are going to leave : an era of hatred, wars and enmity towards Life. What does Love should mean in this dawn of the new era of humanity ? It should be a Love without any object. Loving your family is no more sufficient. Loving your country is no more good enough. Even loving your enemy is still below the expectations of the new Era. Our Love should be without any object, it should be an unconditional flowing Love. Hence my definition "Feeling of Oneness" without specifying any object of Love. Yes you could Love other human beings, animals, trees, Earth, etc, but all this Love is just a part of real Love : Unconditional flowing Love, which means a strong feeling of oneness with everything in the Universe. 

December 21st, Day of Love

I think humanity is now ripe for the new kind of Unconditional Love : a strong feeling of Oneness with everything. This feeling is a direct consequence of awareness. When we are fully aware, there is no borders between us and anything in the Universe, animate or inanimate. Even the so called enemies are just unconscious beings still trapped in the jail of their mind; but their true being is not separate from us. How could exists an enemy if we are feeling really a unity with everything ? Yes, for example, Hitler and other dictators are mad, cruel and unconscious human beings. But, do you think they would done what they did if there weren't millions of unconscious human beings supporting them ? and many others millions hating them ? All this madness of war and extermination of innocent people is the result of our own collective unconsciousness.  We can change this situation by being aware of our own madness and dissolve it. Then the separation from others will dissolve gradually and the more it dissolves the more the feeling of Oneness/Love will increase. In the new era of humanity we should not support any mischief deeds neither from our enemies nor from allies. The unconditional Love don't recognise any country, religion or any kind of separation. Any separation is against Oneness, hence against Love.

The global awareness among human beings is spreading these last years at unprecedented scale. So the new Era of Love and Harmony has already started but we will celebrate its dawn, symbolically, in four days, next Friday December 21, 2012.

12-12-12, Day D-9

We are 9 days before the iconic date of December 21st, 2012. If we reverse the order of digits in the number 12, we obtain 21. Another indication of December 21st, 2012. So today is characterized by two numbers 12 and 9, both indicating the date of December 21st. Of course we can write an article about almost any number; but those two numbers are really magical.  You can check this interesting website about the date 12/12/12 . I liked especially the picture about the twelve-vortex array in a rotating Bose-Einstein Condensate. You can also check Wikipedia article about numbers 12 and 9. In this article I'd like to write about the date 12/12/12 from a Koranic perspective.

Surat #12 :  Yusuf

I've just inserted in Wikipedia article about number 12, this phrase : "In Quran, the Sura number 12 is Sura Yusuf (Joseph), and it is located in Juz'a (Arabic : الجزء) number 12. This Sura narrates the story of Prophet Yusuf and his 12 brothers." But what I didn't write in Wikipedia is the following : If we look at the verse 12 of this Sura, it says :

"Send him with us tomorrow to enjoy himself and play, and we shall take every care of him."أرسله معنا غدا يرتع و يلعب و إنا له لحافظون 

The brothers of Prophet Yusuf are telling to their father to let them take their little brother, Yusuf, with them; pretending that they will take care of him. Later in the Sura, we will know that it is a lie. After considering to kill Yusuf, they finally decided to abandon him in a deep well.

So the 12th verse of the 12th Sura in the 12th part of the Quran reports a LIE. Moreover, this Sura starts with this dramatic event, the abandonment of Yusuf in the well, but has a happy end : Yusuf and his brother will meet their father Jacob; who will forgive his other 11 sons.

Surat #9 : Attawba

The 9th Sura in Quran is Attawba. The word Attawba means "repentance" in Islam. The arabic word means also the "Return". The person who repents is a person who returns to God after distraction. Surat Attawaba is the only Surat in Quran not starting with "basmalah" (In the name of Allah most gracious most merciful) It couldn't start with this verse since all the beginning of the Surat is tough towards polytheists and disbelievers. The harsh tone of the Surat will persist until the last verses. At the end of the Surat, the tone become less harsh and more merciful. It announces the acceptance by Allah of the repentance of the three prophet's companions. And the two lasts verses are among the most beautiful verses in the Quran :

[There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you and to the believers is kind and merciful. But if they turn away, [O Muhammad], say, "Sufficient for me is Allah ; there is no deity except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne."]

Symbolic meaning of Surat 9 and 12

Both Surat start with unhappy and dramatic situations or events  but at the end, happiness, joy and mercy are predominant. This is how I see our situation these days. Earth is now a planet of sorrow. But the coming date of December 21st, 2012, which symbolizes a shift of human and earth consciousness, will certainly bring a new era of joy and happiness. An era of Peace, Light and Love.

The New Earth and The Silence of The Sages

The New Earth

As the date of December 21, 2012 is approaching, I noticed that some great spiritual teachers are becoming silent : no events, no communication, no statement, no explanation. For example, Adrian P. Cooper entered into silence since October 30th. Kiesha Crowther, The Little Grandmother "disapears" since june 2012 and canceled all events supposed to be held in november and december 2012. Eckhart Tolle's website advises us to stay informed but there is no event scheduled. Finally, Swami Rajneesh,  his mystery school is not held since November 2010. What could be the meaning of this silence ? What are we supposed to do in the meanwhile ? are two questions that this article try to give some hints to answer.

1- The New Earth

The earth as we know it is dying. Upon The Global Footprint Network, to satisfy current humanity demands of natural resources and ecological services, we should have 1,5 planet Earths. If all human are consuming like north Americans, we should have 5 planets ! But we have only one planet Earth ... And we are killing her. If we continue as we are doing today, all earth resources will be exhausted bye the year of 2030 and our planet will definitely die. All Earth blinkers are red : Oceans, Forests, Wild Life, all is collapsing at unprecedented scale. At the human level, all man made systems are collapsing : economic crisis, wars, etc. Moreover, man seems to be unconscious about what really he is doing. The Experts, the Specialists don't agree even on the diagnostic, how can they  agree on solutions ? The politicians and businessmen, short term minded, are unable to make the rights decisions.

This is why many sages are talking about New Age, New Earth. Since the old can not continue. He is already dying. Many sages see also in the coming December 21, not only the beginning of a new cycle of the long Mayan calendar, but also a symbolic date of the beginning of the New Age. The birth of the New Earth. Many metaphors are being used, "poles shifting", "Fifth Dimension Lifting", etc. All agree that there is two possible outcomes :

• Humankind will fail in this transition. After unthinkable suffering, Earth will die and all mankind with her.
• Humankind will success and start a new era based on Love and Oneness with Nature. 

These two possibilities are not two alternatives, if one occurs the other is excluded. Probably both will occur together and are going on already now ... How could that be possible ? The next paragraph is a try to put this possibility into simple words ...

2- Vibration levels

It is well known to human science today that all the universe is some kind of vibrations. At quantum level, the building blocks of matter are energy waves, vibrating at tremendous and imperceptible frequencies. What human science has not yet known is that there are many many other subtle and also higher vibrations. The same reality can be perceived at many levels of vibrations. Our body-mind has a level of vibration allowing him to perceive the World around him, the matter, etc. But we can raise the vibration of the body-mind and access other levels of reality. The highest level of energy is Love Energy, which is sustaining and pervading the whole Universe. This energy is not only beyond the detection capabilities of our instruments but also beyond our current understanding.

It seems also that Earth, as a living entity, has its own consciousness, its own vibration level; and can raise it spontaneously or helped by some very caring superconsciousness. Extra Terrestrial intelligence or soul volunteers incarnated on earth  are usually believed to be those supercounsciousness helping us, Earth and human beings, in raising our vibration levels. 

What happens to an entity, be it a human being or a planet, when this entity raises its level of vibration ? It has access to another reality, richer, brighter and infinitely better ! It is like making a leap from one dimension to another one ? Can we, for example compare a line (1D) with an area (2D) or this latter with a 3D space ? No, there is no way to compare them with measurable entities. With each dimension, we access an infinitely richer reality. This is why, often, the 5th dimension metaphor is used to bring to our understanding the quantum leap which happens when an entity raises its vibration level. 

So, firstly, when an entity raises its vibration, it accesses a far more richer reality. Secondly, the entity may disappear from the lower reality... I'll give an example to help understanding this second idea. In deep meditation, some persons feel they are levitating, the gravity has no more effect on them. When they open their eyes, they find they are still sitting on earth. As soon as they close their eyes, the levitation feeling comes again. But some meditators, not only they feel levitating, but their body also levitate a few centimeters above the ground. So in the former case the meditator has accessed another reality but still his body is on Earth. In the latter case, the body has also accessed the higher reality and leaves the lower one ...

3- The silence of the sages

Let's go back to Earth and our sages being silent. If Earth and many human beings are now, and since a couple of years ago, are continuously and increasingly raising their vibrations, they may have already accessed another realm, another richer reality ... They can also, and they probably have the choice to disappear from our common reality ! What are the consequences of these statements :

• Since we are still on Earth, we can conclude that even if Earth, as a living entity, has already "levitated" to a supra dimension, it has left her "body" with us. Thanks mother Earth ! The sages who have disappeared recently may also have accompanied the Earth in her ascension and left us behind ... Or they may, by compassion, have stayed with us even if they have already accessed to the higher dimension. They are silent but they are still with us. 
• We can now understand how the two scenarios described earlier in this article can coexist : an earth with suffering and ultimately death coexisting with a new Earth with Love and Oneness. This is possible if Earth and some human beings raise their vibrations and access another dimension, while the "body" of Earth stay with some other human beings not able to raise their vibrations.
• We can also deduce an amazing consequence : Mother Earth can "liberate" herself by causing some violent cataclysm in her "body". All the humans who already joined her in the upper dimension and have disappeared from our reality, are not affected. But the others died. And the Earth can be liberated and make her "body" join her in the upper dimension ! For The Universe, the death of those humans is not a big problem. They can reincarnate in another planet more suitable for them. Since they are not loving they can continue fighting each others for eons until they wake up. Whereas Earth, now becoming a paradise, can be inherited by those who choose Love. Unconditional Love.

So the silence of the sages could be explained in two manners :

• They have already joined the New Earth in another reality and left us behind.
• The New Earth is already a reality. The sages are already in higher vibration levels. But still, by compassion, they stay with us.

I personally feel that the second explanation is the right one. But why are they silent while approaching the date of 21 December 2012 ? 

As said earlier, Earth is receiving since a couple of years Love Energy vibes and it is going crescendo until next 21 December. Another cycle will start but the showering will probably continue. As stated above, the New Earth may be already a reality and some people have probably already joined the new Earth. But many sages stay still with us to be human channels to broadcast energies coming to the earth. Until the last moments they will probably be there to help the largest amount of human beings to make the Shift of Consciousness. Since we are in the final straight, it is no more the time of words. It is the time of meditation, of silence and prayer.

4- We can do it

It is not late to save our Mother Earth and all human beings living on her. It is yet possible to create a new paradise on Earth, to build a new world of Love and Oneness with Mother Earth, with Nature and with the Universe. Why is it yet possible ? The most difficult challenge is not to overcome the harm we made to our Mother Earth. Everything can be reversed. We can clean oceans, repopulate wild life, replant forests, find clean and virtually infinite sources of energy, we can wipe poverty and diseases from earth, etc. But the big challenge is man itself. Man today is violent against Live. Man is destroying himself. Man has made madness, hate and greed his true religion. But the energy of Love is tremendous, far more powerful than the energy of hate or greed. If we attain a "critical mass" of human being who are pure Love; who feel deep in their heart that they are one with all living beings on this earth, we can reverse all the hate in the world into Love and all the greed into altruism. What is this "critical mass" ? 10% ? 30% ? or 50% of world population ? In this matter the quantity does not matter. If a few persons with huge amount of love are there, they can balance all other human beings in earth. 

So what are we supposed to do to help establishing the New Earth, the New Era of Love and Harmony ? Here are some guidelines :

• Be Love. Unconditional Love. Showering our Love on every thing, every living being in this earth and in the universe. 
• Never be discouraged. Love will ultimately win. We will save almost all human beings on Earth. I know we can't force anyone to be saved if he want to die or to stay in his mind jail. The freewill is an Universal Law that we should respect. But we can still love unconditionally until the last breath ...
• Join our meditations, our prayers to those beautiful beings already helping us and channeling love energy to Earth. There is no little or great soul, we are all equal expressions of God, we have all a tremendous power, an unthinkable power. Since it is unthinkable and we are in the mind, we miss this power. But we should persevere and participate with the amount of awareness we have. By doing so, we will multiply the number of relays channeling Love energy in our World. The New Earth will become closer and closer. And our awareness bigger and bigger.
• Never let the fear enter our heart. We are the strong souls chosen by God, The Universe to be in earth in this critical era of Earth history. You should not fear anything. We will win and end up in the New Earth with all our beloved. If Mother Earth expresses herself in earthquakes, floods or volcanoes, let her do its duty. We will still love her. We will still be with her until the last breath ...

A human mind or an activist, may not be satisfied with the recommendations above and will ask : "What should we really do ? we can't sit without doing anything to stop the dying of Earth ..."

Again you are not supposed to do anything. We have just to be in two important states :

• TO BE. This is Awareness. Your presence is required. Not in the mind, but in the heart.  Feel your body, your mind, your emotions, than feel other human beings, other living beings. Feel our mother Earth. To be is to feel, to be aware of life in yourself and then in anything else. So, first you have to be. Then you have ...
• TO BE LOVE. This is Oneness. Love vibrations is the most powerful and subtle energy in the Universe. It sustains and pervade all the Cosmos. To be Love is just to be in harmony with the Universe. It is such a tremendous power. Such a beautiful feeling. Be love doesn't mean to work in charities, to help others, to do this or that. All these things can be a byproduct of Love, but it is not Love. Love has nothing to do with "doing". Love is being. To be Love is to feel deep in your heart that the others are really you in other bodies. Love is the feeling that this tree, that animal or the Earth in its entirety is simply other expressions of Yourself. There is no real border between you and anything in the Universe. This true feeling of oneness is to be Love. So try to be Love by simply see with your heart the divine beauty in anyone, in anything ! Unconditionally. By trying to feel this, the feeling of oneness with the Universe will grow and the Love will grow.
