The Year 2012

 

Question:

 

I am very concerned of how our future will be affected in 2012 and the welfare of the world as a result. I am very aware of laws of Karma and the power of belief, especially collective belief, which leads me to my concerns and my questions.  Which I would love your perspective, for I greatly respect your wisdom.
With all the negative collective beliefs for thousands of years on Armageddon /the end of days, the coming of the messiah, and the more recent, negative media focus on the Mayan predictions and changes to our planet’s climate, not to mention the accumulation of negative karmic actions (i.e. war.) Will this cause a catastrophic outcome? And if so, can we circumvent this? If so how? Would pouring out massive amounts of positive collective belief energy help to change the future?
What is your over all opinion of what may happen in 2012?
Answer:
I personally do not know what the year 2012 will bring. I believe that whatever it is, it will be the product of our past and present actions, and therefore it is to some extent unknowable right now.  However, if you are concerned for the welfare of the world as a whole, the best use of that concerned energy is to direct it into changing yourself to embody the  values  that you would like to see in the world.  The media’s fascination with doomsday scenarios is certainly not helpful, but instead of worrying about that too, remember to attend to your own life. That is still the most effective way to contribute to a shift in global consciousness that will  foster the collective creativity and wisdom necessary to lead  the world to a brighter future.
And while the looming impact of climate change from our hydrocarbon-based energy usage can make us feel ineffectual  and helpless as individuals, that feeling is not true. We aren’t powerless, and we can  be part of the solution if we make our life a living example of the world we want to create.
Love,
Deepak

About Deepak Chopra

Time Magazine heralded Deepak Chopra as one of the 100 heroes and icons of the century, and credited him as "the poet-prophet of alternative medicine."

    Yes..it's very interesting that we live in a holographic reality- the individual reflects the whole…evolution/correction on the individual level heals the entire wolrd :)

    It is written in the Hebrew Scriptures that one person can turn the fate of the world for good or bad

    If we seek to evolve our perception of reality and our relationships with others, we can turn the fate of the wolrd for the better, and experience the birth humanity is going through through pleasantly.
