For those of you who live relatively 'normal' lives -- running to the office in your cute skirtsuit, shopping at lunchtime, flipping through Cleo on the bus-ride home, de-stressing in front of the latest reality TV show -- you probably haven't heard too much about what the spiritual crew are all buzzing about, using terms like Aztec calendar, fifth dimension and 2012. But you may have noticed that life's taken on a certain intensity at the moment.
I'm talking about long-term relationships breaking up (or existing ones quarreling), financial frustrations, unusual behaviours, falling sick -- either for you, or people who you know.
Well, if you're anything like me, it might comfort you to know that 1) There is a higher reason for all of this and 2) There is an end in sight. The basic explanation is that Earth and humanity, like all of nature, are evolving. For eons now we've been passing through the universal equivalent of kindergarten, third grade, junior high, Year 12, university... and the final, and biggest, shift of all is happening right now. All of the souls inhabiting Earth are ready to 'graduate' to the next level - a more enlightened consciousness - which is understandably causing much tension down here in 3D world as those people who are still stuck in rigid, old-school patterns resist it. In contrast, Generation Y, all the wise old souls (new babies being born now) and the 'lightworker' (spiritual) community are trying to get there as quickly as possible!
This is why so many people are coming to me for readings at the moment and demanding to know what their life purpose is; ordinary, office-type people, who probably never even thought about their souls' purpose five years ago! It's why long-term couples are splitting up, people are passing away, and super-sensitives (eg. psychics and the mentally ill) are really hitting the wall. It's also why, in a larger sense, we are experiencing a Wellness Revoution (think organic restaurants, yogalates), and even the coming of an enlightened black president to govern the world's greatest superpower in the lead-up to 2012 is no accident either.
The Global Financial Crisis is no coincidence. I hear about people losing jobs they've had for 40 years, or those whose industries hold nothing for them anymore, and smile to myself. These people were stuck in old patterns. They would have NEVER moved into new phases in their lives (which, yes, can be hard and scary and depressing at first) if they hadn't been shoved on by a force greater than themselves.
So what can you take from all this? Firstly, you may sometimes feel a little 
alone or disheartened; 'what is the point to it all?'; struggling on the factory line of life, or with difficult personal problems. But this message to you is a HUGE reminder that you are contributing every moment, consciously and subconsciously, while awake and while dreaming, to an enormous collective consciousness who are busy achieving a very high and noble goal.
We WILL come out of this a happier, more peaceful, more emotionally and spiritually intelligent Earth. The old moulds are being broken and discarded. And at this rate, positive, magnificent change is absolutely happening in our lifetimes. I always get very strong energy from the dates 2013 and 2017 ('golden')... Can you visualise what you'll be doing with your life -- and what kind of soul you'd like to be -- by then?
