There are many prophecies and astrological predictions that say that the year 2012 will be the end of our current era. Many believe that 2012 onwards marks the beginning of a new kind of existence and civilization for the inhabitants of this planet call Earth.
Are you aligned towards life and civilization beyond our current era? Do you believe that life into the future will be radically different from what it is now? Much has been said that beyond 2012, the world evolves towards a more spiritual civilization.
Well, to be honest with you, I don't really know what will really happen beyond 2012. But, I do know that the current human civilization has a poor understanding with regards to spiritual matters. Current mainstream human understanding and perception of the world is not entirely correct.
Why is this so? This is because the typical person's understanding of the world is distorted by dualism. This word 'dualism' is an often used word within spiritual circles, but it is also very often misunderstood.
Dualism, as it is meant in this article, refers to the impression of there being a 'me' and what is separated from the 'me'. In another word, the world is viewed as consisting of 2 components, namely the Observer (me) and the being observed.
When a person becomes enlightened, this initial dualistic understanding is replaced by a radical awakening. This awakening allows him to view the world as it is, which is non-dual.
The journey towards the experience of non-duality is a long process, spanning years and even lifetimes. At least, that has been my experience. However, the experience is worth it. This is because when one is in non-dual mode, consciousness is less prone to the influences of the egoic mind which consists of the 'me', 'I', 'mine' impressions. The egoic mind forms a large part of our suffering.
Will humanity evolves towards the non-dual mode of relating to the world? Will humanity suffers less as a result of non-dual realisation? This is something that we can wait and see.
