the quickening

Physicists have discovered that, whereas they previously believed the big bang would slow down, it is in actuality speeding up. Ancient mayan wisdom (because it turned out to be true) watched the sky and deduced the very same thing, that around this time, there would be a 'quickening.' thats what this film is exploring.

The law of attraction (from The Secret) is a tool to explore using consciousness and imagination to create a certain reality. This documentary implants a harmonious existence as a new beginning during this quickening/shift of the ages.

Will the shift happen in the outer world, or will ti be collectively happening within us in an increase of enlightened individuals?

Has the world really shifted into duality? Is our world generally pretty dualistic? Is the 'other' mentality very strong? Personally, i don't feel that way, but i can observe it in others. How much of my perception is a projection?

"So many are living for material achievements and survival." I know this, certainly. The big houses and picket fences, the SUVs, the facebook profiles and MySpace phenomena, the music videos, the sex and alcohol obsessions and bling attractions... That stuff is huge. Is media a good gauge of what is popular and collective? Its hard to tell now with the internet. Who reads what i read?

Whats going to happen october 28th 2011? Hmm. Thats in two months and ten days!! Thats the date the documentary says. In my worldview, this shift thats happening was going to take 70 to 100 years, because thats the time it has taken in the past to fully integrate a paradigm shift. But since they call it the 'quickening' perhaps this time around it will go... quicker...

I like this part. In 1755 at the beginning of the industrial age consciousness began shifting every 19.5 days, and after january 5th 1999 it began shifting every three hundred something days, and thats why there have been generation gaps... thats why the idea that women were equal, it took a while to sink in.

I have, indeed, noticed, the lack of generation gaps now. Relationships between 24 year olds and 40 something year olds aren't so strange. The internet was a huge quickening because a thought can be shot around the world and across generations immediately. The amount of change and information we're able to process is accelerating.

Since the time of the japanese earthquake consciousness has began shifting every 18 days according to this film, which i have also noticed. I'm having transformative days and nights more than each full moon. They say this will happen until october 28th of this day at which point we'll attain unity consciousness.

Maybe i'll stay in san francisco til that time. then i can catch the october 31st celebrations and the reclaiming spiral dance in san francisco. that might be a possibility...

At 40 minutes the film gets into Political wars, existing and theoretical. Its scar, but totally realistic and reasonable. I really don't like the fear, but this is useful to watch and prepare for, so i tapped (EFT) on the fear. Then i was pleasantly surprised with their next point, that i also just read in the Tao Te Ching, that the good and evil are both within us, are all within the Tao of existence, and that we need not separate them and instead see the unity. If we can learn to see those who are dark or evil are actually serving us by providing us with experiences that are essential... Rumi says "out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing there is a field. I'll meet you there. when the soul lies down there in the grass the world is too full to talk about, even the phrase 'each other' does not make sense."

Thus, i find the usefulness of feeling the fear that the film provoked within me, so that i can prepare for the future when those same fears are provoked once more...

Okay. now its 5am, and i'm getting sleepy. I hope to dream good dreams now. I have noticed, and have not adjusted to the idea though my body seems to have adjusted anyway, that i need less sleep. I napped for an hour or two earlier today, which may explain my altered sleep schedule, but it feels like its beyond that.

one of the symptoms of the quickening, methinks.
