Creating the Effect to Cause Happiness
As we approach new beginnings on the grand scale of the universe, it is very important for us to take a look at what we can do on an individual level to feel empowered to create positive effects.

We live our lives based on cycles. From the seconds, minutes and hours, on up to the lunar and sun cycles that create our natural rhythms; we operate and synchronize within cyclical patterns. Expanding this idea to the universe as a whole, it is logical to assume that in some ways, the entire universe is one large cycle in which our consciousness is connected, and it’s this very idea of entrainment between consciousness and the flow of the cosmos that fascinated the Maya.
If 2012 truly represents a total shift in perspectives, and I think it does, then what is it we are shifting into? It is clear that we are changing from an age dominated by thousands of years of material influence to a more spiritual orientation, but there are many other binary changes in our general orientation as well, one of the most important of which is the crossover from the masculine to the feminine.
Human beings are living, breathing animals and part of the ecosystem of the cosmos, just as every other living thing. This idea of oneness in the cosmos isn’t a debate, and not only is it not a debate, but I’ll go one step further and say nature is the manifestation of spirit. Ergo, nature is spirit.
We understand why these religious traditions exist, its not natural to love a scientific law, but if you work at an understanding the spirit that is within all of Nature, the reward is deeper and truer.
Astronomers around the world have predicted that 2012 will likely be one of the worst years for solar radiation. The cycles of the sun’s activity are quite predictable and 2012 is definitely going to be an active one. This has, in fact, already begun, and on the days following intense solar flares, there are physiological changes on earth.
In both the literal and symbolic sense, we are living in a time of great evolutionary change, and in my opinion, we can’t really talk about what the year 2012 means for us as a global community without addressing the Mayan calendar and its prophesies surrounding this momentous year.
At the close of 2011, the Greenheart Transforms book club participated in a wisdom gift exchange, sharing quotes, books and ideas. Inspired by that evening, I thought I would also share some words of wisdom from various people who have been masters for me as we embark on this transformational year in 2012.
In the workshop I did last summer with Rick Hanson, he talked about retaining the positive, and discussed the idea that the reason why the negative impacts us more than the positive might be due as much to cultural conditioning as it is to the hardwiring of the brain.
