2012 Shift
This article is also posted on my kimberlykeown.com

It's hard to believe 2011 is almost over. Now we're heading
into infamous 2012, the end and re-start of the Mayan Long Count calendar. The 2012 date ends a 26,000 year axial earth precession. So 2012 should bring lots
of endings and brand new beginnings. Be prepared for life to change,
whether it comes painstakingly slow, unsettlingly fast, or both.
My personal opinion (based on intuition and personal experience)
is that in many ways 2012 will bring back a return of the 1980's, only
in a more permanent way. Almost as if the 1980's was a small sample of
the future of the 21st century.
Why do I say this? Because we are experiencing a return of the
5th dimension, largely associated with Uraneous and the Age of Aquarius. The band The 5th Dimension, who sang Aquarius/Let the
Sunshine In, had it right.
Our current period of reality has been essentially a Saturn/Capricorn influence. Unfortunately, it has
been characterized by the shadow (or negative) side of Capricorn - not
the truth, fairness, and justice the positive side truly stands for.
Because we are living in the shadow side of Capricorn energy,
our current society is very rigid and in many ways oppressive and
overbearing. Everyone, especially in America, is judged by their job,
money, material goods, and status in the community. It's a society
very much based on conformity and everyone doing and being the same in
order to fit in. Those who do not fit in are ostracized.
People drive cars that all look alike and have no individual
character. Success in the workplace is more dependent on bosses' and
coworkers' personal opinions of each other than by the quality of the
work done. There is a debate about whether homeless people ought to be
allowed to enter a public library.
In general, at least in America, there is an unwillingness to
recognize or help the poor. Look at the charities that get the most
attention. Celebrities who donate to the poor in Africa, Mexico, or
other 3rd world countries get the most press. Donations to the poor in
their own country are not often met with such accolades.
The laws that are enforced in this time are not about justice.
They are about whatever the people FEEL like enforcing at the time. A
good example of this is traffic laws. Every time I drive, I see about
1 in 10 people use a turn signal before turning. The majority of
people tailgate the car ahead of them and pressure them into entering
an intersection before it's truly safe to do so. At stop signs, there
is barley time to get half-way through the intersection before the
next car rams through... and that's if they even bother to come to a
complete stop in the first place. When there are icy/snowy road
conditions, very few people slow down or are patient with those who
may need to drive slower.
I hardly ever see anyone pulled over by traffic cops. This is
because the government IS the people, and the people have decided that
obeying traffic laws is no longer necessary. If the majority of the
people do not obey the laws, they will not be enforced by their
government.
However, people should not NEED a traffic cop to pull them over
to convince them to use a turn signal or respect other drivers on the
road. It simply seems that many people have no moral compass and no
interest in doing what's right. This society... although
self-righteous about the mores and laws it DOES uphold, is less about
being moral and more about being popular. When Capricorn energy is
used in the wrong way, this is the hypocrisy and paradox that
comes about.
Capricorn energy used correctly creates strong government,
boundaries, and laws that are meant to provide organization, safety,
and protection for all. In order to fulfill this purpose, all people
are required to conform.
However, when the energy is used incorrectly, the Capricorn
society becomes the society that exists today. Its members harbor a
self-righteous, entitlement attitude of exclusion that is seeming
based on logic, reason, and conformity. But in truth it hides a
rebellious, emotional, double standard. It's EVERYONE ELSE that's
supposed to outwardly conform to laws, and never the individual. And
when the majority of society shares this attitude, the minority that
does actually conform to the law is ostracized.
The result is a society of people that refuse to obey a simple
turn-signal law. And because the majority refuses to obey the law,
their government fails to enforce it.
No more. The 5th dimension will usher in an energy of personal
karma and 'mind your own business'. Whether it's because of crises
that cause people to spend more time worrying about their own lives
and less about other people, or just a general shifting of
consciousness that ceases the neighbor-to-neighbor oppression, the 5th
Dimension will bring an era of privacy and personal responsibility. It
will not be the government's sole responsibility to enforce laws. The
rule of karma will be greater than the rule of government. Those
without a moral compass, who have the willingness to invade or violate
others, will be subject to their own private hell.
Because oppression will cease (albeit slowly), creativity will
flourish. Because people will spend so much less time obsessing over
their neighbors, they will devote more time to solving real problems
and finding effective solutions. This will in turn create more
resources and opportunity. Society will be forced to release the
current poverty-driven economy based on exclusion, and embrace one of
inclusion and abundance.
So for the people who embraced the Capricorn era in a positive
way, the change that begins in 2012 will be a welcome one, as
oppressive restrictions will be replaced by 'the spirit of the law'
and not 'the letter'. This perfectly sums up the 2012 shift, as
Saturn/Capricorn rules the body and physical conditions (the 'letter
of the law'). And Uraneous/Aquarius rules spirit and non-physical
consciousness (the 'spirit of the law'). This defines how the rule of
physical government will be replaced by the law of spiritual karma.
The laws of the masses and fear of societal exclusion will be changed
into the laws of cause-and-effect of individual actions &
consequences.
For those who embraced the negative part of the Capricorn era,
the 2012 era will be extremely unwelcome. Those who embraced
hypocrisy and exclusion may suffer never-before experienced personal
crises. These could come in a number of ways: health or marital
problems, job or income losses, loss of friends, or environmental
disasters. Hopefully these people will grow in faith, morality, and
compassion as a result of these crises. It's now up to each person to
balance their own karma; not their neighbors or the government.
The 5th dimension, because it is so malleable and creative, will
allow miracles to happen in broad daylight and full consciousness.
This malleable energy will allow things to happen in a
less-than-logical way. Wishes will come true, miraculous healings will
occur, and heroic rescues of life or money will become relatively
common.
On the flip-side, nightmares will become waking reality. Strange
happenings the Capricorn consciousness could not explain or accept
(and so ignored or dismissed) will happen despite unbelief or denial.
The increasing interest in aliens and other life forms is evidence of
this. Dimensional portals will open and become more accessible.
Awareness and acceptance of ghosts or other inter-dimensional beings
will be prevalent.
Look at what the popular movies are. The old superheros. Not the
new ones... the OLD ones from the 1980's or before. Transformers,
Captain America, Superman, Batman, The Green Hornet. War of the
Worlds, Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Wizard of Oz, and
Roald Dahl screenplays such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The
Harrison Ford epics such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and now Cowboys
and Aliens. Add to that the newer sci-fi movies & shows such as
Meet Joe Black, the Stargate series, plus countless others about
aliens & alternate dimensions... and you have a pretty good grasp of
5th dimension energy.
The shadow-side of the 5th dimension is that there can be TOO
much malleability. When Capricorn rigidity is lost, a complete
breakdown of boundaries, reason, and logic can occur. Dimensions and
conditions can change so rapidly that there is not a firm structure to
hold onto either mentally or physically; much as if one is involved in
a psychic or physical earthquake. Because of this, insanity,
displacement, and disorientation can abound.
Those who truly learned and integrated the positive side of the
Capricorn energy will do well in the new era. They will be
responsible, practical, and self-disciplined enough to create
boundaries and structure for themselves, and able to bring a
comfortable order to their world. Those who relied on society to
'make' them conform to boundaries and create structure for them will
have a more difficult time, as they will not have the inner resources
to ground them in the midst of dissolution and chaos.
So 2012 is a transition; it is not a be-all end-all year. It's a
transition into a less-artificial and more personally authentic state
of living. The Capricorn period of logic and rationality was needed to
provide structure. Now that structure will be relaxed, and our
individual motivation and choice will be our ruler.
