2012: The Five W’s and One H (Part Two)
In “2012; The Five W’s and One H” (Part One), I addressed 2012 from the perspective of a, furiously growing, negative energy “snowball” surrounding the subject and what we all can do….what we must do…to combat it.
And, I pointed out good journalism is predicated on The Five W’s and One H principle; who, what, why, where, when and how.
However, the principle is pointless unless the answers come from credible, knowledgeable sources; though, the two do not always go hand in hand.
What most people know about 2012 is that the Mayan calendar ends sometime in 2012 and, like the fabled Y2K, the world is supposed to blow up.
Well, Y2K wasn’t actually supposed to blow up the world but here’s what one credible source had to say about it in an official, governmental statement to the press;
”The Y2K problem is the electronic equivalent of the El Niño and there will be nasty surprises around the globe”.

Of course, people partied like it was 1999…because it was… the clock struck twelve, the new millennium rolled around and absolutely nothing “bad’ happened.
No disrespect to Mr. Hamre but, my point is, everybody can be wrong…even the most high profile of sources.
In that, I want to bring awareness to, even in Metaphysical circles, a little known name; Carlos Barrios.
Senor Barrios, a historian, anthropologist and investigator has emerged from the highlands of Guatemala to become one of the preeminent authorities on 2012…at least, to a few of us who know about him and his incredible work.
For 25 years Senor Barrios studied with traditional Mayan elders and became a Mayan Ajq’ij, a ceremonial priest and spiritual guide, Eagle Clan.
Along with his brother, Gerardo, he has interviewed close to 600 Mayan elders and, according to Senor Barrios, the elders are angry with the anthropologists who visit the temple sites, interpret the signs incorrectly and report those findings to the rest of the world.
The elders believe the world will be transformed as we move into the time of the World of the Fifth Sun (a time of expanded consciousness, a new emergence in human ability to live a harmonic existence with the earth and the bringing about of perfect balance…a fusion of male and female energies, etc.).
Now, much of this might sound like a bunch of colloquial fairy tale woo-woo but if you’ll remember, the whole controversy over 2012 stems from the Mayan calendar systems…of which there are 17 and they are some of the most complex and sophisticated in the world. So accurate, in fact, some of them have precisely charted a time span of more than ten million years complete with the predictions of major, major events. And those predictions have been on the money.
Not so fairy tale sounding anymore is it?
Short of speaking directly to a Mayan elder, Carlos Barrios, after 25 years of study with almost 600 Mayan elders, is the next best credible source.
To sum up the subject…at least for now…of 2012, I’ll do so thusly;
- Who – Everyone of us will be affected by 2012. As Senor Barrios puts it, “Humans will have the chance to be more human”.
- What – 2012. The time of the fifth sun and great change…for the better. The bringing about of balance and harmony.
- When – The latter part of 2012…December 21 to be exact.
- Where – All over the world.
- Why – Because we’re all one and humanity and the world we live in cannot continue until we all “get” that concept and act accordingly.
- How – No one seems to know for sure. I am working on getting the information from Spirit. As soon I have some solid answers, I’ll let you know.
At the end of the day, all the rhetoric about 2012 doesn’t even come close to one statement from Senor Barrios;
“The greatest wisdom is in simplicity. Love, respect, tolerance, sharing, gratitude, forgiveness. It’s not complex or elaborate. The real knowledge is free. It’s encoded in your DNA. All you need is within you. Great teachers have said that from the beginning. Find your heart, and you will find your way.”

Excellent, perfect, just the info I need to share with folks at work. They know me as the “spiritual one” who knows “those” things, so now I have something along what they would consider empirical data,that I may share.
I appreciate you keeping us updated, CBR, it’s soooo helpful to use to stem the tide of negativity!
Q
Thank you for sharing this with us Colette. As a Psychic Intuitive myself & being highly sensitive, I get upset when I see more hoopla & fear being put out there regarding the Mayan Calender & the supposed end of the world in 2012. A few years ago, in one of my meditations, I asked my guides & angels to help me understand what is behind the Mayan Calendar & what really is going to happen. My higher self came through, expressing to me that I lived one of my prior lives as a Mayan. What I told myself was that a shift will occur. A shift within humanity to connect to our higher selves & each other. I also described it as a recycling of sorts. We will go through lessons, as individuals & especially as a group that we’ve gone through before, however with a new perspective, new expectations & new energy. This new era will be a very scary one for many and it is up to people like us to be there to help usher others & help them find their way into this new way of life. Even though it will be a scary time for so many, it will bring us all closer to our true selves, each other, all energies and spirits of goodness, godliness, love & light, and inevitably closer to God. We really have nothing to fear, because this shift will actually bring out the parts of us that too many people hide, but when released it’s the easiest way to be, because it’s truth, it’s natural, it’s meant to be, it’s God within us all to the purest, most enlightened level. This is part of my path, to prepare myself to be there for others who are struggling with the shift, to help dispel fear & bring us back to positivity, light & love, for all. One of the most profound things I also have received during my meditations on this, is that we will lose the “I” mentality & the “we” mentality will be the “norm”. Isn’t this beautiful?
To a mother with two young children and lo-ho-hots of anxiety, this is very reassuring – THANK YOU.
Thank you for sharing. Fear is so crippling. I’v been working on releasing,blocks to my higher self. Fear is a powerful one.Fear on a globle level,is a maddening one. So sending Love is the most powerful responce I know.Thank you for sharing the courage to share Love !!!

Daily Stars with Shelley von Strunckel
www.shelleyvonstrunckel.comNo Aries is happy about being cornered into doing anything. But the circumstances triggered by your ruler Mars' encounter with the fair but tough Saturn indicate exactly that. Battle these if you must. Ultimately, however, you'll realise that tedious as these seem, tacking them would be in your best interests. By Shelley von Strunckel
Obviously you're unhappy that others are making decisions that should be yours to deal with. And this is especially true now, since these are bringing changes as disruptive as they'd be unnecessary. Or so you think. Discuss this with the person in question. Their reasoning is likely to win you over. By Shelley von Strunckel
The secret to getting through the next few days successfully is to regard even the simplest of arrangements as but one stage in many. That way when the unsettling and often unexpected developments triggered by the current rather intense planetary activity take place, you'll make whatever adjustments are needed, and without any dramas. By Shelley von Strunckel
If you're worried about something or someone, you'll usually reflect on past experience until you feel you understand what you're facing. However, with so much in transition, such a review will only confuse matters. Instead, discuss concerns openly with others. Daunting as this seems initially, what you learn could revolutionise your outlook. By Shelley von Strunckel
With both Saturn and, as of now, the impatient Mars accenting your perspective on various crucial decisions, you could rush into things. The trick is to react swiftly but make no arrangements you can't reorganise. What you discover over the coming weeks could be surprising, enough to substantially alter your thinking and priorities. By Shelley von Strunckel
Now that both Saturn and, as of yesterday, Mars, have departed your sign, you get a break. This is a relief, but you won't entirely escape this period of dramatic change. Rather, you'll no longer feel you're responsible for holding everything together, as you have for most of the past three years. By Shelley von Strunckel
As a Libra you often agonise over decisions. This is particularly the case now, because situations are pressing and you're conscious that what you opt for will profoundly influence others. Still, your priority must be you. Discuss this if you must, but only to explain your thinking. Not to obtain anybody's approval. By Shelley von Strunckel
When there's anything you regard as unwise or simply don't want to do, you'll find a diplomatic yet firm way to avoid it. Often without those involved realising they've been refused. Now, however, you're urged to talk this through. Only once you do, will you recognise just how much you'd be missing. By Shelley von Strunckel
Occasionally you'll gloss over tedious details because you expect others to be as bored with them as you are. On the contrary, not only are certain individuals actually interested in these, allow them to take the lead and they'll offer invaluable insights and guidance about how you should be handling such matters. By Shelley von Strunckel
Inevitably, your ruler Saturn's recent move into the gracious Libra will make you even more conscious than usual about the need to handle sensitive situations diplomatically. Still, with things so urgent at the moment, you'll probably have to employ a firm hand when it comes to planning, but combine it with a gentle touch. By Shelley von Strunckel
Sometimes it's not until others challenge your views that you actually stop to think them through. This certainly appears to be the case now. Annoying as a few of the issues being raised seem, they're forcing you to examine what's behind certain ideals and objectives. And just when such a process is timely. By Shelley von Strunckel
You're about to go to battle over an issue that simply isn't as important as it once was. But you resist acknowledging that things have changed. Do so and you'll not only liberate yourself from a tedious and increasingly time-consuming drama, you'll be free for other, far more rewarding, pursuits. By Shelley von Strunckel
