What Is Going To Happen In 2012?🔗

Understand, Paramahamsa Nithyananda is not predicting anything. He is presenting a few truths about 2012 based on his own experience and study of it.

An enlightened master’s body is completely tuned to the subtle changes happening in the cosmos. Particularly, his body slips into samādhi when his breathing gets activated into a particular rhythm.

Samādhi is an altered, elevated state of consciousness. ‘Slipping into samādhi’ means the body goes out of control; a lack of motor coordination, kind of like being inside a big balloon.

One morning Paramahamsa Nithyananda was running on the treadmill. His body was constantly falling into samādhi. Within 60 seconds, his body was kicked into samādhi 42 times. But he was not losing his balance. His physical body was nicely matched with the samādhi state of consciousness. For the first time, samādhi and physical balance were present together.

He started contemplating this experience. How and why was it happening?

When he meditated on it, an important truth was revealed.

There IS going to be violation of the law of physics, because the center of the Planet Earth is going to lose its power over you. There is going to be a subtle change in the power which it has over you by pulling itself intensely towards its center. As a result, the strength of gravity is reducing.

Please understand, through the current shifts of Nature, your weight is getting reduced by a very small fraction. Your physical weight is going to reduce may be by a few micro milligrams (nanograms).

Physically you may not experience it now; physically it may not be big for you. But one important thing you need to understand, it will have a huge psychological effect because even your thoughts have mass. It means that if the gravitational power starts reducing in a subtle way, your body can move with 'less thought' and 'more action'.

For example, in present time, for you to get up from your chair, go to the kitchen, have dinner, and come back, you need one hundred thoughts. By 2012 and beyond, you may need only forty thoughts – without doing any spiritual practice! Please understand, this will happen because the centre of the Earth is reducing its power to pull everything towards its centre. What will be its effect on human beings?

That was the next subject of contemplation. If gravity is continuously reducing, one can say maybe that the Earth's centre is deciding consciously to relax a little bit, to reduce the gravitational force.

So by 2012, all objects will physically weigh less. If something is one ton now, by 2012, the object’s exact weight may be 6 milligrams less, but it will be a physically measurable reduction in weight. These 6 milligrams may not be a large amount on the physical plane. But it is something extraordinary in the inner space.

You see, even thoughts have mass. When the pull is getting reduced, your body can act with less thinking. It is going to have a huge effect on human beings.

There are many types of weight reductions. You may lose muscles, which is bad for you. You may lose bad cholesterol, which is good for you. But now, beyond bad and good, you are going to lose your engrams (thoughts patterns you carry)! If you are going to lose 10 micro milligram of engrams, it is going to be directly the greatest benefit to your consciousness.

Paramahamsa Nithyananda wanted all of you to know this important truth. By 2012, first, even if you do not do anything you are going to weigh less physically; second, you will need less number of thoughts for the same action.

There are two categories of human beings. One group aligns itself inward, with fewer and fewer thoughts, through various practices such as meditation, yoga, unclutching, etc. The other group aligns itself outward – through more thoughts, entertainment, movies, Internet, games, business, and profession. Understand, when the huge pattern of thoughts is taken away from you, even if it is one micro milligram of weight taken away from you, it means that almost 10,000 janmas (life cycles) of sanchita karma (one’s past karmas) is taken away from you! It is not a joke! All of you can just levitate and fly!

On the other hand, if you are a more thought-based person, this taking away of engrams from you is going to bring tremendous suffering to you.

If you are used to being with less thought, if you are in tune with that feeling of having fewer thoughts, you will call the new effect peacefulness and bliss. If you are not habituated for a lifestyle with fewer thoughts, you are going to call it depression.

Understand, people who are not conscious enough, intelligent enough, and aware enough to be comfortable with less thought and more action are going to unconsciously label their experience as depression. If you have prepared your body and mind for fewer number of thoughts, you are going to experience the effect as ‘enlightenment’. The choice is in your hands.

Understand, it is whether you are 'inward' or 'outward' that is going to play the major role. All the 'inward' persons are going to have enlightenment. All the 'extroverts' will face depression. So be inward. This is not a threat; this is merely the facts. The more mental patterns you have, the worse the suffering is going to be. Fewer thoughts you have, more bliss, peace and explosion of consciousness will happen.

When you are aligned more and more to this space of no thoughts, you experience and express intelligence and spontaneity, and life will be a journey of bliss and peace towards more bliss and more peace, towards super bliss and super peace!

Whether 2012 is a doomsday or an enlightenment day is your choice. This is what is going to take place. How you are going to prepare yourself is going to decide whether it is a doomsday or an enlightenment day for you.

Civilization

Understand, all civilizations which are thought-based, constantly driving you to think, think, think, think, think, and to believe that thoughts are productivity, will experience an epidemic of depression. This includes any civilization where thinking is celebrated, where thinking is equated to productivity, where thinking is equated to being alive. In these cultures, thinking is important even for entertainment; thinking itself becomes an entertainment.

All the so-called entertaining places are going to become empty because the entertaining places are not going to solve the problems of the people. People are encouraged to think more and more. These thought-based civilizations are going to hit a deep depression, meaning it will feel like doomsday for them.

It is the enlightening places that are going to attract the people! In civilizations which prepare human beings to be comfortable in a non-thinking zone – the being zone, the unclutched zone (refer to section Unclutching In Depth) – this event will be a great celebration and liberation. Suddenly the human nervous system will have a lighter load.

If you think a heavy weight on your nervous system is your productivity, the goal of life, the value of life, the utility of life, this shift will feel like depression, doomsday or hell. If you think a lighter load on the nervous system is ecstasy and joy, if you are prepared psychologically and consciously to exist with a lighter burden on the nervous system, the change will be celebration and liberation.

Why do so many ancient records like the Mayan Calendar and the I Ching predict huge destruction?

Understand, prophecies do not usually foretell what is going to happen. Rather they advise us on how we need to prepare for the events that might occur. These prophecies are not warning of huge destruction as in the way we have been shown in films like ‘2012’.

We are not facing the onslaught of physical destruction, but there will be a huge energy shift. The decision lies with us whether to use that as a launching pad for a new enlightened way of being, or to cling to our outmoded lifestyle and fall into depression.

Because the wave of new energy is creating a change in consciousness rather than physical changes, none of the Vedic prophecies have predicted the end of the world by 2012. It is only going to be the end of lower-level consciousness.

The usual long effort to achieve enlightenment will be greatly reduced. The population of enlightened beings can increase swiftly and easily, with the resulting effect of elevated global consciousness.

This is the picture of what is going to happen, as well as the range of choices available to you, so that you can choose what you want for your future. All thought-based societies are going to encounter terrible depression because they do not know what to do. When the number of thoughts is automatically reducing the load on their nervous system, they will think they are becoming inefficient and forgetful. In the ensuing panic, they will turn to all kinds of medications to alleviate what they believe is dysfunction. Alcohol and other substance addictions will increase, along with self-destructive behaviors that destroy the body and mind. None of these attempts at ‘normalizing’ will succeed, because it is ‘evolution’ they are treating rather than ‘dysfunction’. The old paradigm of ‘normalcy’ is departing permanently. Until these thought-based cultures acclimatize, they will undergo a great deal of needless suffering.

The societies which are comfortable with the non-thinking zone will come into their glory, taking the quantum leap into the space of enlightenment.

There are three zones of Being in Vedic tradition; they are called the three gunas. The first is fewer-thoughts-fewer-actions, the state of inertia: it is called tamas or depression. The second is more-thoughts-more-actions, the state of hyperactivity: it is called rajas or restlessness. Then there is a third guna, fewer-thoughts-more-actions, the state of inner balance: it is called satva (sattwa).

All of us have experienced the first two states. Fewer-thoughts-fewer-actions state feels lazy, dull and heavy. More-thoughts-more-actions state feels hyped-up, jumpy and impatient. Unfortunately most of us do not know the space called fewer-thoughts-more-actions: the space of satva.

Now, with this new energy wave, we are naturally going to evolve into the state of fewer thoughts. Whether it leads us to fewer actions or more actions is up to us. We stand at a junction of two different paths down one road. Will we move toward tamas – inertia, depression, fewer thoughts with fewer actions, or satva – balance, peacefulness, fewer thoughts with more actions? The choice is in our hands.

It is important to realize that this energy shift is a supremely rare occurrence. The event of Nature reducing its gravitational force and decreasing the number of thoughts in our inner space is an enormous evolutionary milestone. This visible reduction of inner and outer mass may come to pass again only after millennia. We are on the planet at the right time with the right philosophy to move to a higher state of consciousness. It is a unique, exciting and precious opportunity. Let us not miss it.

Vedic history (the history of ancient India) records one previous circumstance like this: when Śrī Kṛṣṇa (Sri Krishna), an enlightened master and deity in human form, incarnated on Planet Earth. All planetary alignments are now the same as when Kṛṣṇa was in the body. Both astrology and astronomy support this energy shift for 2012, as they supported a similar event thousands of years ago.

People who missed that first event with Kṛṣṇa have waited for five thousand years for the opportunity to present itself again. Many of them have now landed on Planet Earth, in anticipation of this new opportunity.

We have another chance now to make the evolutionary jump. Because of the planetary alignment, we receive such a natural lift. All we need to do is just open ourselves the way we would unfurl the sail of a boat to the wind. That wind will simply carry us forward. Without any work on our part, our number of thoughts will automatically decrease day by day.

We hold an illusion that being hyperactive means we are high-functioning. Otherwise, the feeling comes over us that we are missing something. We rush to add external stimuli to our lives to create excitement. Artificially raising our energy makes us feel more alive, more upbeat. We switch from tamas to rajas without discovering the balance of satva. We turn to food, coffee, activities, medications, drugs, or ideas to excite us.

When we become comfortable in the spaciousness of a lower volume of thoughts, we can move beyond the panicky belief that ‘nothing is happening’. Then we can discover the inner peace generated by being able to take action without constant planning, considering, weighing, problem-solving, and discussing – the heavy burden of over-thinking that drains our energy and hampers our genuine accomplishments.

This is the space that translates itself into ‘fewer-thoughts-more-actions’: satva, also called ‘restful awareness’.

It is intriguing to note that while all thought-based civilizations are predicting doomsday during 2012, all being-based civilizations are predicting enlightenment and the dawn of a new utopia. Actually, both are true. If you are a thought-based person unable to catch up with the reality of fewer thoughts, you may struggle at first against the feeling that doomsday has arrived, for you will experience a heavy sense of depression until you can adjust to the new lightness.

Those unable to make the shift may even turn to suicide; so one possible tragic scenario in thought-based societies could be waves of mass suicides. It is almost certain that all the countries and societies which succumb to depression will go to war with each other, holding each other responsible for their suffering. On the social plane, there could be disastrous destruction in this fashion.
