We have all heard the predictions for 2012, the year the Mayan calendar ends. In the spiritual community, most believe that this year is a rough date for a shift in consciousness or the time of ascension, when energetically and spiritually, we evolve to a new level. Others believe in more literal predictions of doom and gloom, when life comes to an end, like in the book of Revelations in the Bible. I have heard everything predicted from pole shifts to nuclear war. The only thing many can agree on is that many cultures and seers from the past have picked up on this date as important for some change for mankind.

Like many, I have contemplated the meaning of these predictions and have had a few visions myself of possible things to come. My mother, a closet psychic herself, has a gift of predicting earth changes, so often she will share dreams and visions of those types of changes. I often get visions of more warlike scenarios. I try not to focus on any of these doom and gloom visions, since I truly believe that our future is in our hands.

Recently, I have been lead to three documentaries, all within a short period of time, and it is like I have had an epiphany, concerning some of these changes to come. Each documentary is about Oil, Crude, Black gold, Texas Tea: They are about the end of the Oil Age.  That “end” begins in the now.

I strongly recommend for viewing:

·         Crude (The History Channel)

·         The End of Suburbia

·         A Crude Awakening

Suddenly, a lot made sense to me, concerning the changes coming up. I’m pretty convinced that any change of consciousness, earth changes or possible wars are related to the end of the Oil Age. Like it or not, we are running out of oil on the planet. Period. It is amazing to me, after viewing these documentaries, just how much our entire civilization runs on oil. Not just our cars and living arrangements, but our food sources, clothing, etc. The world HAS peaked its oil production, and slowly, we have to face the other side of the mountain. This means changing how we live, how we work, how we think, how we relate to one another, and hopefully, we will embrace new sources of energy. 

We can choose, it seems, to fight to the death for the last remaining oil reserves in the world (Middle East) to maintain a lifestyle and way of life that can no longer continue…or, we can change the way we live. Either way, the changes begin, whether we are ready or not.

 

Something to think about.
