“I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
And insecure delusions.
I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured within”

Everyone is talking about it in one form or another – the shift. Either the world is supposed to end before 2013 or there is to be a huge spiritual shift whereas people become more in tuned to their higher, spiritually connect self.
QUESTION
Is there a "Shift" happening?
But there was this sudden drive. So I decided to go all scientific on the subject and gather as much data on the phenomenon as possible. I have spent the last couple of weeks immersing myself in all types of “spiritually enriching” experiences and have made my self attuned to signs and indications of possible phenomena.
OBSERVATIONS
It started around the large full moon in October (October 29th). For some reason many of my interactions, arguments, and general feelings of agitations centered around the word “connection.” Simple. One word. But it showed up in so many situations that I had to take notice.
The next word that started appearing was “authentic.” It flickered here and there, and really hone in during Chuck D’s appearance at the New Noise Festival (November 9th). “You gotta be true to yourself. You gotta be authentic to receive true appreciation for your art.” There was that word again, slapping me in the face.
The third word that showed up was “gratitude.” It began with a Facebook event, A Month of Being Thankful. Then I got an email blast to join in a gratitude project (November 16). All this during the month of Thanksgivng. Yeah, it was even there!
I finally realized that these might be signs, so I took action. I enrolled, enlisted, and showed up at any new age
event I could find in the month of November. I sat with a resonance healer,
yoga’d with a women’s group, meditated with a monk, participated in a gratitude
project, engaged in a chakra cleanse, sought the advice of a psychic, and went
to an evening of spirit channeling. I read daily affirmations, went to sleep
lulled by a hypnosis app (for various ailments), followed steps to practice
positive psychology, and kept a gratitude journal. All this I did solo. This way I was free to
be in the moment and get in touch with my authentic self – without feeling
kooky.
RESEARCH
- There was a full moon October 29th – “A Full Moon is the time to get connected. Information from our guides is heightened during this time so tune in to the subtle messages and promptings.” (http://newmoonmanifesting.com/)
- There was a powerful new super moon eclipse November 13th – This is a time of “connecting at a deeper level to our authentic selves.” Before and after are times of uncertainty, followed by deep clarity. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1vX-kH1kB3E0)
- The month ended with full moon after a lunar eclipse in Gemini November 28th – A full moon is a time to manifest new beginnings; a time to “bring light and love to places in ourselves that are dark and hidden, release old wounds, and as an empowered self, move into your destiny. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1vX-kH1kB3E0)
There is a shift. Now we begin moving towards destiny at a deeper fulfillment, a conscious upgrade.
- Let go of any beliefs, behaviors, and old habits that are preventing you from evolving.
- Embrace our darkness, so that we can be empowered on a conscious level.
- Fear shows us where we need work to empower ourselves, it is a choice.
- Heal old traumas, make space to connect more fully to your authentic self.
- Be mindful of your motivations.
- Set powerful intentions
Monk on Being Happy (14Nov12)
Allow yourself to accept and embrace positive thoughts. When there is suffering, it is the result of karma. Karma from this life or a previous life. But karma can be purified on four fronts: regret, doubt, faith, and unfulfilled commitment. Then you can move on with your life without the karmic suffering.
- Keep a calm mind
- Keep a clear mind
- Keep a positive mind

Channeling Session (25Nov12)
“You are the Devine”
Man came to earth to experience joy. Suffering comes from not remembering you come from the Source. A schism formed in mankind’s consciousness, separating one man from another and from the Source. This was not the intention
There is a great “intervention” happening, where pure Source (“spirits”) are on this plane to help awaken the remembrance in mankind. This is what you may call a shift.
- There is destiny: what your soul intended to do (intention)
- There is fate: spirit guides that provide assistance to you on your destiny
- There is choice: one’s free will to choose one’s own path
