“Astrologically, I understand there will be a significant astrological event that will create opportunities for people to do some deep transformational work.  All the pessimistic hoo-ha, all the apocalyptic hoo-ha, I think is people taking their own internal fears and externalising them out into an imaginary world.  So I see 2012 as an opportunity for deep development.”

“2012 is the date most people are focussed on, and many of them are thinking it’s the end of the world, the end of everything, the doom and gloom scenarios. I don’t see it that way, because in my work, it is the culmination, the beginning of everything. The end of the world as we know it, but that’s because there’s going to be a new earth forming. It’s the end of the old earth, the one that has all of the traumatic things happening. Because we’re moving into a totally new earth.”

Dolores Cannon is a past-life regressionist and hypnotherapist who specializes in the recovery and cataloging of “Lost Knowledge”. Her roots in hypnosis go back to the 1960s. She has been specializing in past-life therapy since 1979.

Dolores has become, perhaps, the world’s most unlikely expert on the prophecies of Nostradamus. A retired Navy wife from Huntsville, AR, USA, Dolores was nearly fifty years old when she began experimenting with hypnosis and past-life regression. The results were, to say the least, quite spectacular!

Working through several different subjects, Dolores was able to establish communication with the living Michel De Notredame, better known as the prophet, Nostradamus. His revelations and their impact on our own time are both fascinating and at times frightening.

Dolores is the author many books, including Conversations With Nostradamus, Keepers of the Garden, and most recently, The Convoluted Universe. (Amazon links)

“So 2012, bringing up this possibility that there could be cataclysms, there could be breakthroughs, I think is very essential, because that is the energy of evolution for me. That there is a marker somewhere in time that we need to wake up to.

“But if we start waking up to 2012 now, that’s going to help how we are going to live, right this very day, several years before 2012.”

“If you look at the true purpose of religion and spirituality is, it’s almost like a two-step process.  Step one, sort yourself out, which in, say, Christian terms is seek salvation, if you were talking Eastern terms, it would be seek enlightenment, if you were talking in psychological terms it would be just get your act together – sort yourself out.

“The second step: be of value and be of service.  That’s what I see happening.  Over the last 20 years or so, large numbers of people have woken up to the fact that there is a spiritual quest and they do need to work on themselves.  And now the next step is how somehow can I be of value to the world?”

“I think the really interesting thing about 2012 is it’s given everyone a focus.  Whether or not the Mayans actually intended for it to be interpreted as the end of the world, I don’t think that was the intention, at all.  But what it has given everybody is a focus, and a kind of a deadline to make important changes, and to change how we are relating to the earth.  I think that’s the most important aspect of the 2012 phenomenon.”

“We trace back a lot of the problems to one fundamental process, and that has been the deliberate separation of human beings from direct participation in the natural world for quite some time. And we would say that nature is fundamentally a relationship. A very profound, vast, and interdependent relationship of all beings with humans a part of it, but not the dominant part of it. We have to start healing that relationship by embracing the natural world.“

“If people insist on focussing on all the doom-and-gloom scenarios, what they have to understand is that our mind is incredibly powerful, and they’re going to create more of that. So what we need is more and more people thinking, “Okay, that’s the probable world. What else is possible?” How can we dream in, how can we imagine in the kind of world that we want?

“What we have to understand is that we are powerful co-creators. Everything begins with a thought. What we think about, expands. What we focus on, expands. So if we want a different kind of world, then we have to think about what kind of world it is that we really want.”

“This is our mother.  We are her children.  Everything that we do to her, she gives back to us.  Real simple. Everything that we do to her, she gives back to us.”

Haleaka is native Hawaiian and the direct descendant of Hawaii’s highest Ali’i (chiefs/chiefesses) and Kahuna Nui (the highest order of priest/priestesses). Born with specific gifts, she was taken and raised by her elders in the old ways. She was not raised with electricity, television, or any modern conveniences, as her elders felt that it would distract her from the true natural powerful forces of the earth, sun, moon and through these to akua (the creator).

Instructed in the knowledge of her ancestors and trained in a multitude of ways, she stands as evidence of the beautiful creation of the creator. She was raised to enhance the gifts she was born with and can, in an instant, shift her vision to see the heart of every situation, person or experience (past lives, spiritual attachments, pain/hurts, etc.). She also has the uncanny ability to take her shoes off, plant them on the earth (wherever in the world she is) and see the memories that are held there.

“The day we realise we can have change without the cataclysm, that’s when I think we can have change without the cataclysm. But one thing that we all have in common is we’re looking at the situation with the materialism, with the selfish attitude we have, with the wars – we’re looking for change. Because basically, again, we are all divine beings, and what’s happening is not OK on the planet.“

“Homo luminous is the new human that’s appearing today. We’re taking an evolutionary quantum leap. Previous quantum leaps have had to do with the quantity of the human brain. This new quantum leap is about the quality of the human brain, about human consciousness being able to guide the direction of our evolution, of our DNA, of how we heal, how we age, of our ability to grow new bodies, that age, and heal and die differently.”

2012 is happening now.  You just look around at all the disasters and catastrophes that are happening.  I believe Mother Earth is drawing our attention to ourselves, our communities, and to how many have lost their path, and our disconnection from nature.

It’s not about going back to be the way our ancestors lived.  Which was fantastic.  It’s about taking their wisdom and their knowledge, and their ancient ways, and bringing it forward, bringing it into a modern context, evolving as a spiritual community.

There’s nothing going to happen in 2012 that we don’t or can’t have access to right this moment.”
