The essence of healing, I believe is a recovery from duality consciousness with a return to unity consciousness.  The Biblical story of the expulsion from the Garden of Eden is the story of duality, seeing distinction and difference, descending into our collective human minds.  This duality descended, according to the Mayan Calendar, perhaps 5,100 years ago.  It was 5,100 years ago that human consciousness shifted from a regional to a national framework.  The first evidence of money began and also the first evidence of large scale warfare.  The Mayan Calendar ends on October 28, 2011 and a new consciousness, a unity consciousness, will envelop all human structures, including the economy.  Not too coincidentally, Hindu Cosmology, views a new age emerging. On the island of Kauai, a Hindu temple is being constructed.  The Yoga Master, Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (Gurudeva) initiated the construction of this temple after having a vision of God Siva on Kauai.  This temple is characterized as the symbolic merger of east and west.  It is due to be completed shortly after the end of this decade.

The physical evidence of U.S. economic collapse is everywhere.  The U.S. is becoming like a third world nation.  Wealth is more and more concentrated within a small segment of the population.  Real wages are rapidly declining and the middle class is shrinking.  Manufacturing is declining and the U.S. may soon not even be producing automobiles.  The U.S. dollar’s value is eroding.  A dollar today versus a dollar only 100 years ago buys less than 3% of goods and services one could previously purchase.  The U.S. dollar was disconnected from the gold standard in 1971.  The erosion of value since then has progressed geometrically as Alan Greenspan’s Federal Reserve continues to pump more and more dollars into the economy.  Yes, they do just print more and more!  Voltaire, in 1729 observed that all paper money must inevitably return to its intrinsic value, ZERO!  The collapse of the U.S. dollar is imminent.   Before this happens, stock and bond markets will decline and the housing market will collapse.  Commodities including gold and silver will continue to rise in value unabated.

Fear drives the western dominated economy and fear is a byproduct of duality.  The fact that so many of us are seeking healing, in a dizzying variety of ways, suggests that humans are very aware that the cycle of duality is ending.  Health and illness, yin and yang, male and female, east and west; these are all symbols of duality that dissipate as consciousness returns to unity.

Carl Johan Calleman has written the world’s 2 best selling books in the world on the Mayan Calendar.  Calleman is a PhD research biologist and world-renowned expert on cancer.  The Mayan Calendar is a prophetic tool that maps consciousness from the “Big Bang” to the end of consciousness on October 28, 2011.  He identifies this mapping in the major 9 level pyramids that are central in Mayan temple sites.  These nine layers represent evolving consciousness and each layer takes place over a period of time 1/20^th the previous layer.  The sense we have of time speeding up is actually creation speeding up.   Whereas the first cycle is taking place over a period of 15-16 billion years, the final consciousness cycle will occur over a period of only 260 days.  All cycles end concurrently in 2011.  The final phase takes us from the current galactic consciousness cycle to the universal cycle.  Each phase brings distinct changes to our human physical structures because as Calleman asserts, “consciousness is

is primary to matter”.  All human events, including the current global domination by the west and the ending of this dominance (U.S. economic collapse is a part of this) is identified in the Sacred Calendar.  According to the Calendar, human conscious-ness is moving into a new phase of balance.  It is this restoration of balance that we humans are seeking and responding to with so many healing ideas and modalities.  East meets west.  Female meets male.  Yin meets yang.  Health meets illness.

There is both obvious and subtle evidence of merger.  Hinduism is the world’s oldest religion.  It has no founder and it difficult for most westerners to wrap their minds around this ancient practice.  The growth of yoga, which at its core cannot be separated from Hinduism, is a clear symbol of eastern thought descending into western consciousness.  Even though yoga in the west is thought of primarily in its pretzel variety (Hatha), the physical asanas are only a very small part of yoga.  The much, much larger parts include meditation and pranayama (breathing).  Even the much more popular Buddhism has a reference point in Hinduism as the Buddha was a Hindu prince.

Hinduism is however subtly, but powerfully descending into western consciousness. Of the 4 major Hindu sects, Saivism, worship of God Siva is the oldest.  The ancient name of Hinduism is Sanatana Dharma or the eternal religion.  Hindu saints and sages declare that there never was a time that Sanatana Dharma did not exist on Earth.

In Siva temples, three Gods are worshipped.  Siva represents the Supreme Being and all other gods and goddesses are His creation.  Thus Hindus worship only one God but Siva creates a limitless number of aspects of Himself.   Ganesha, the elephant headed god is appearing everywhere.  I find people from all walks of life acquiring His likeness in statue form.  These people are rarely aware of his significance and when I explain how Ganesha is lord of obstacles; the usual response is “that makes sense”.

Murugan, the other God worshipped in Siva temples is the god of kundalini.  He is known by two other names, Skanda and Karrtikeya.  Karrtikeya is referred to as the Pleiadean Master and He of the Pleiades.  Subtle evidence of His descension into western minds includes people who channel Pleiadeans including the well known authors, Barbara Marciniak, Barbara Hand Clow.  Some people also report that they are in contact with Pleiadeans or are seeing Pleiadean space ships or UFO’s. 

Yoga, including meditation, is the science designed to progressively move awareness back to a state of unity in God.  This is the essence of healing.  On the traditional path of awakening, Ganesha is the first god you meet.  Lord Ganesha sits on the muladhara (base) chakra and helps sincere seekers close off their lower natures, including anger, fear and even lower aspects.  Meditation makes one powerful and on the traditional path, care is taken to avoid strengthening these lower natures.  There is no greater harm on the spiritual path then to strengthen one’s lower natures after having a glimpse of inner light and becoming spiritually arrogant.

Once the lower natures are sealed and some humility attained, a seeker is introduced to Lord Murugan.  Lord Murugan guides you to awaken the Kundalini and move it up the spine into the Sahasrara (crown) charka.  The human body has 3 subtle energy flows, Ida and Pingala, the female and male energies, and the Sushumna, spiritual current up the spine.  Meditation has as its goal the merging of the female and male energies into the Sushumna to awaken our higher natures.  Balance is thus achieved and enlightenment becomes a possibility and reality.

The U.S. dominated economic system is an obvious manifestation of a duality consciousness.  As we move progressively and rapidly into a new phase of unity consciousness, an economic system such as the one we have cannot continue to thrive.  Thus we are witnessing the collapse of this system.  Although we here in the U.S. may lament the collapse, most of the human family, other species and Earth herself has not been served by this economic system.  Gurudeva has referred to the global system of governance, which includes and is driven by economics, as “Corporacracy”, rule by force of money.  

The new unity consciousness can best be met by proceeding on the path of healing.   The path of healing from duality leads eventually to enlightenment.  In Hinduism, it is accepted that each and everyone will attain enlightenment.  Whatever calls you, proceed with confidence knowing that healing yourself also heals those around you and indeed, heals the world.  Enlightenment is your birthright.  Realizing the Self is why you are here.
