The Rise of the Dark Side

Let’s deal with some facts:

  • God has not blessed America—or any other country or leader.
  • It is not necessary to accept Jesus—or even love him—to be eligible for heaven.
  • It is not necessary to accept Allah to be eligible for heaven.
  • God loves atheists and infidels as much as anyone else.
  • There is no heaven or hell.
  • Just about everything the Ayatollahs—Christian or Muslim—tell us about God is wrong.

The list could go on. One predictable aspect of the great Shift in 2012 is the rise of dogma—of a dark, foreboding, and controlling version of human existence that stands in direct opposition to the freedom, creativity, and self-empowerment that will hallmark the post-2012 world. The worst offenders—also predictably—are the religionists who have dominated humanity for centuries. Whether evangelical Christians, ultra-orthodox Jews, fanatical Muslims, or members of lesser known sects, they intend to impose their narrow belief systems on the rest of us, and their efforts can be expected to intensify. Potentially, it is the most dangerous aspect of the 2012 shift.

Partly, the rise in dogma is the result of fear. The energetic underpinnings of the known world are vibrating at harmonic levels and rates of change never before experienced by humanity. Every aspect of life, from daydreams and thoughts to geological structures and government institutions, are in a deep state of flux. The normal response is to hunker down, keep safe, and return to verities. For the masses of people, religion is the opiate that has kept them calm throughout the centuries. In a time of great turmoil, it is natural to return to this drug and increase the dosage.
