Heaven cannot wait

A high and blank negation is not all,
A huge extinction is not God's last word,
Life's ultimate sense, the close of being's course,
The meaning of this great mysterious world.
In absolute silence sleeps an absolute Power.
Awaking, it can wake the trance-bound soul.
~ Sri Aurobindo, "Savitri"

1. Galaxies are created in the out-breath of God
This is a picture of the Milky Way, our home galaxy, with our Sun depicted in the Orion arm. The name Milky Way comes from the band of light - concentration of stars - that is seen overhead on fair nights. Looking at this picture, we can get an idea of our place in the universe. We are a part of a larger design, a part of a perfectly envisaged scheme. Our galaxy is like a cosmic flower, a cosmic wheel revolving around a center of gravity 1. The gravitational force is exactly so calibrated as to ensure that the stars in the galaxy are neither sucked in into the center nor that they escape the formation.
The universe is created by first concentrating all mass/energy into a single point in the center, and then expanding it from there into a spherical space. Scientists call it the Big Bang, but it wasn't really an uncontrolled explosion but a carefully designed plan. Galaxies are formed in similar fashion - concentration of matter into the center and then expansion towards the rim. But where did this matter come from in the first place? Well, that's where God comes into the picture.
The spiritual light of higher vibration - the light of God - was lowered in vibration until it became matter - densified light. Which means that beyond each galaxy exists a spiritual force - God - which "breathes" out the galaxy into the physical realm and puts it into motion. But it doesn't mean that we can reach God by diving into the center of the galaxy, or into a wormhole 2, because God is not residing in some hidden place in the physical universe. God is only manifesting himself in the physical universe, in a myriad of ways, including in our bodies and minds, but he resides in spirit - as intelligence, consciousness, light, presence, Being. We can connect with God only through the spirit - by raising our consciousness enough so that we can grasp God. And by opening our hearts enough so that we can feel God - within, as a part of us.
2. Physical and spiritual Sun
What I want to stress here is that beyond every galaxy there is an intelligence. And it manifests itself in the physical like a cosmic wheel, hosting billions of stars, out of which many are sun-like stars with planets orbiting them. Those solars systems are smaller wheels within a greater wheel of the galaxy. Beyond each solar system there is also an intelligence, manifesting itself through the physical sun - the center of the solar system, which serves as a source of life and light for that solar system. But that intelligence doesn't sustain just our biological life, it gives us spiritual life too, spiritual light, and that is in fact what sustains us. It gives us food for the soul, as they say.
So life on Earth is not sustained just by the star called Sun but by the spiritual presence behind it. We each carry a part of that presence within - a spark of God, a parcel of the Sun. And through that we are connected to our Father Sun. When time comes that we step up to a new level of consciousness and vibration, the Father will start sending a stronger message, and the physical sun will intensify its radiance. We are currently experiencing this - high solar activity.
The spiritual Sun is calling us to come up higher. It shines so brightly that we cannot miss its message. But if we nevertheless decide to ignore it, we will encounter problems, like for example global warming. But if we heed the message and wake up, we will be lifted to a completely new level of existence. That should happen between now and year 2012 - whenever we are ready.
There is an intimate connection between the physical sun and the spiritual Sun. There is an intimate connection between cosmic wheels, called galaxies, and spiritual wheels called chakras. There is an intimate connection between spirit and matter. We have known this already but now it is becoming quite obvious for all who want to see. Spirit wants to enter matter, and matter begs to be enlightened by the spirit. Because only that gives it perfection and beauty, only that gives it eternal life. Mother Earth wants to be freed from distortions and abuses, but she cannot go against our will. 3
3. The long-forgotten task: bring Heaven to Earth
Long ago, while still residing in the spiritual realm, we have chosen to descend to the spheres of matter and fill them with the light of our divine being, i.e. to spiritualize the matter. We chose so because we loved God and his magnificent plan, and we wanted to expand our light to every level of creation, even to dense physical matter. We chose so also because we knew back then that we could do it. We were connected to our God, and knew that armed with that power - God power - we cannot fail.
However, something unplanned happened, we were allured by the density of the matter, and even misguided by the souls who rebelled against God's plan, and so gradually we lost connection with our God, and even the memory of him. This lead us and our planet into a negative spiral where we descended ever lower.
Jesus Christ came in one such dark moment in Earth's history, when the planet was in a very low state of consciousness. He came to remind us of true God - not an angry tyrant up there in the sky, but our Father, who loves us and wants us to have abundant life. Jesus came to rekindle the divine spark in our hearts, so that we would remember who we are. He came to remind us the the kingdom of God is within - that God is who we are, and that we are not separate from him. However, he only partially succeeded. Over time he was turned into an unreachable idol, and his teachings were misinterpreted and turned into doctrines, to suit the ruling elite. And the world sank into darkness again.
Luckily, science brought some light, in fact a lot of light and understanding about the world around us. It pulled us out from prejudice and witch-hunt mentality, and brought technological and medical discoveries that improved our lives immensely. In fact, technology and rational thinking brought so much progress and enlightenment, that some started believing that we don't need God any more. That science can solve all our problems. So our good God, who in fact inspired many scientific discoveries (even Einstein admitted that he was inspired from above!) was rendered obsolete. The world became an increasingly materialistic place, driven by materialistic motives.
4. The real crisis is spiritual
The result is what we have today. Humanitarian and ecological crisis, affecting the whole planet. But primarily it is a spiritual crisis. We forgot who we are - our spiritual identity and our purpose on Earth - and that's why we are heading where we don't want to. Who still remembers the old promise - the old desire - to bring Heaven to Earth? To express our divinity, to be here below all that we are Above? Not many.
But Heaven didn't forget. Spiritual cycles are turning, time is running short. We had all the time in the world to experiment, to explore the wonders of the material world, to even get caught in the charms of matter for a while. But we are not primarily material beings, our true nature is beyond matter - it is infinite, it is eternal. So we are not supposed to get caught in the material realm forever. We are not supposed to choose the identity which is less than who we really are - and uphold it forever.
Time comes when we need to come up, when we need to transcend ourselves and be the More that we are. And if we don't do it from our own accord - because we feel a longing in the heart - then we will be reminded by the events around us. It will become more and more obvious that we are doing something wrong in our lives. And if the humankind collectively denies their true identity, and is stuck in the state of forgetfullness, then we will be collectively reminded that we are doing something wrong.
And this is exactly what is happening now, and manifesting in imbalances in nature and in the society. Climate change is a consequence primarily of our refusal to self-transcend (footnote 7). It is a global crisis, affecting all of humanity. It makes us re-think our lives and our ways of doing things. But instead of focusing only on the outer measures to prevent climate change (like reducing CO2 emissions), we should start thinking about deeper things in life. The meaning, the purpose. Who we are and why we are here.
Our largest "wrong" is not that the Western world became over-industrialized, but that we forgot who we are. We are spiritual beings who came to express their God flames and create in matter. If we forget that, then we are just confused wanderers with no anchor and no vision of what we want to create. And then we are creating misery - without consciously wanting it.
5. Year 2012: a challenge and opportunity
This is the situation that we face today. If we don't awaken, the reminders will become stronger. Not because God is punishing us for our wrongdoings but because nature and everything on Earth is affected by our consciousness. We are the co-creators on this planet. If we forget who we are, we can only create problems. And as we remain in the state of lesser identity, refusing to learn from our mistakes, the problems will become bigger and bigger, until finally the system cannot bear it any longer and collapses. And this is what might happen in 2012 - if we don't raise our consciousness.
But if we do raise our consciousness, if we ignite the divine spark within, the Earth will smoothly transition into a new phase - the phase of higher consciousness, higher love, and the sense of oneness and brotherhood among people. We will naturally transition from a stage of turbulent adolescence to a stage maturity - of knowing who we are and what life is all about.
If, on the other hand, we refuse to awaken, we will have to face great losses, which will then force us - those who survive - to re-think ourselves and our lives. Same as when we face a personal crisis in life, which often forces us to look within and change ourselves. Same could happen on the planetary scale - a planetary crisis, which will make us re-think everything, including our sense of identity. But it would be better not to wait for that to happen - not to wait to hit the rock bottom - but start changing now, start embracing the reality of who we are.
6. Golden Age is a choice
Each of us individually has free will, and humankind collectively has free will. We won't be forced to come into alignment with God. We will have to decide what we want, because free will is our divine birthright and God would never override it. But we need to be aware that a spiritual cycle is coming to an end, which means that the opportunity to stay blind is coming to an end too. Everything will be exposed, all shadows illuminated. The truth will be known, and it will be on each of us to choose whether we want to remain in the illusion and be hurt by the light of truth, or we want to come into reality of who we really are. And be blessed and uplifted by that light.
This is what 2012 is all about. No UFOs are coming, neither is Jesus Christ coming for the second time to save the "true believers" and let the rest of the world collapse in a fiery cataclysm. No, nothing like that will happen. The Christ needs to be born in the heart of every individual. Each of us needs to be the second coming of Christ. Which means that each of us needs to realize who we really are, and proclaim like Jesus did: "I and my Father are One."
Golden Age is a choice, which first starts in the minds and hearts of individuals. We have the choice of whether we will make the forthcoming Age of Aquarius a golden age of peace and prosperity, or we will remain stagnant and witness events that will shatter our lives and our sense of identity to the very roots. As Hamlet nicely put it, we have a choice to Be or not to Be.
7. Put on your wedding garment
What should we then do between now and 2012? We should start adopting a higher sense of identity and realizing that behind this material world there is a spiritual, transcendent reality, which is where we originate from. Then we need to gradually surrender various limiting beliefs that we hold about ourselves, God, world around us - which stem from our old sense of identity. And then purify our emotions and desires, to reflect the will of our true being, not the will of our ego.
Practically, we need to change the contents of our consciousness, of our sphere of self. Replace the old ideas, beliefs, thoughts and feelings, with the new, higher ones, which are based on our true identity. Fill our cup with the living waters of eternal Life, instead of choking in the stale swamp water. That is what Jesus was talking about when he said "you cannot enter the wedding feast without putting on the wedding garment" (Matthew 21:1-14). The wedding feast symbolizes the wedding between spirit and matter, between our spiritual and material self. It means coming into alignment with our higher being, with the will of God within. It happens when we surrender everything that prevents us from coming into oneness with God.
The wedding garment is the consciousness of oneness with God - the Christ consciousness. It means loving God and his plan. It means loving who we are, and wanting to be all we can be in God. It also means loving God more than anything else, more than our separate ego self, more than any of the things that lower our vibration and pull us away from God.
If enough people weave their wedding garments, i.e. put on Christ consciousness, the collective consciousness will be raised enough to have a smooth transition to the Age of Aquarius. Because the collective consciousness will be higher, the Golden Age of peace and abundance will start manifesting spontaneously. If not enough people raise their consciousness, we will have a bumpy transition, potentially involving a great loss of life, and the Golden Age will be delayed.
And that is basically the mystery of the year 2012. It all depends on us. We cannot delay our decision any longer. We came here long ago to Be who we are - spiritual beings, co-creators with God - and it is time to start living it. Heaven cannot wait any longer.

2 Wormhole is a hypothetical "tunnel" connecting two different points in spacetime, which is hypothesized as to enable time travel.
3 Sometimes Mother Earth is so burdened that she cannot hold it any longer so we witness upheavals in nature, what we call natural disasters. But Mother Earth doesn't want it, it is simply the laws of physics outplaying themselves when the spirit of God is missing.
