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 !!!

www.shelleyvonstrunckel.comObviously you'd rather make decisions on your own than have to bow to the questionable views of others. However unsure you are about the wisdom of their plans, they're actually far more knowledgeable than you imagine. Ask them for explanations. The resulting discussions will be as informative as they are reassuring. By Shelley von Strunckel
Now that Neptune has joined your ruler Venus in the visionary sign of Pisces, you'll find that suddenly your intuition is amazingly clear. While this may not last forever, explore the resulting feelings and perceptions. The resulting insights will come in handy, especially when dealing with impossible people or situations. By Shelley von Strunckel
Often issues are best discussed frankly and openly, and as soon as possible after they arise. However, many pivotal facts are either unknown or misunderstood. That being the case, take it slowly. Say what you must but no more. And remain silent until all the necessary information comes to light. By Shelley von Strunckel
Every once in a while it's important to review what you do with your time and to consider what and who you put first in your life. While you might think you've got your priorities right, give some thought to these matters and you'll realise you're short-changing some and wasting considerable time on others. By Shelley von Strunckel
Sometimes challenging situations involving already rather uptight individuals are best approached with a light touch. While you may think there's nothing funny or humorous to be found, the actual process will cast the proceedings in a fresh perspective. You might even stop taking things quite so seriously, which alone is an achievement. By Shelley von Strunckel
Don't mistake the suggestions made by others that certain once important ventures might need to come to a conclusion as criticism. The fact is, you've been thinking exactly the same yourself, but have been unwilling to acknowledge it. The real problem is your own pride. Tackle that and everything else will be easy. By Shelley von Strunckel
Arrangements you've struggled to organise are falling apart. You can't help but feel that if they matter, you should battle for them. Take a look at the changes going on around you and, as a result, in your own life. These make it inevitable that some of those long-standing arrangements must go. By Shelley von Strunckel
One of the most challenging things for you to admit is that you've been outsmarted. It makes no difference whether the situation in question involves certain individuals or it's the circumstances you're dealing with. Still, not only must you admit that's the case, you're urged to let go of the reins entirely. By Shelley von Strunckel
Being a fire sign, you're superb at surmounting the kind of obstacles many regard as overwhelming. However, one particular situation has thrown even you. Frustrating as this is in the short term, what you learn from the actual process of figuring out ways around these will serve you well in the future. By Shelley von Strunckel
Yet again you've made the mistake of trusting somebody else to do a job for you. Actually, that isn't the problem. They did what was necessary, but not with the care or thoroughness you'd have employed. Which is why you didn't mention it. You unwisely assumed they would be as conscientious as you are. By Shelley von Strunckel
As an Aquarius, although you don't notice it, you're far more interested in what others are both thinking and doing than most. This means that often you understand them better than they do themselves. Bear this in mind now, as you discuss sensitive matters and you'll realise why they seem so lacking in self-awareness. By Shelley von Strunckel
At times progress is marked by new experiences, exciting encounters or achievements. However, the kind of progress you're making could just as well involve recognising that you really must say farewell to certain alliances, activities or even goals. This may seem unfair, but they part of the past and would be a real distraction. By Shelley von Strunckel
