Welcome to the much-discussed year of the supposed end times, the year where we all say goodbye to this world and go on to greater service in the Great Beyond, the year when our consciousness suddenly elevates and we become ascended masters and lose the need for this bothersome mortal coil, the commencement of the apocalypse of the Book of Revelation for the non-believers and sinners of this world. And, if you believe all that, then I have a bit of bad news—we are all stuck here on this world for some years longer—many centuries, in fact—for 2012 will be a year like so many others, but then again a time unprecedented in human history. Each year the pace of our rising awareness and of technology increases at an amazing rate, with consequences good and bad and that will that reach far into the future.
The struggle with our sense of what we value will definitely increase this year as financial sectors in various parts of the world continue to wobble, the gap between rich and poor continuing to widen as the middle class shrinks. It is harder and harder for most of us to make a crust, as we say, yet we have tools at our disposal that were unthinkable twenty years ago—social networking and media skills, computational and technological applications for everything under the sun, and technology that is revealing unseen worlds and the larger universe to us in astonishing ways. In a way, we are indeed in a period of revelation, but hardly in an apocalyptic sense. What does this Capricorn interval say to us, then?
