I am often asked nowadays what I think about the coming change of consciousness on Dec 21st 2012 forecast by the amazingly talented Mayans. Well, that question obviously involves the concept of time and how we have identified with it to our detriment so I’ll provide a slightly different perspective from the True/False, Woe/Joy salesman’s options.

Last time I introduced the idea of checking out the basics of meditation for spiritual seekers who, unlike Sunyata, were not enlightened at birth.

Much of the following material is in the first few pages of one of my books on meditation entitled Meditation: The Bridge from the Apparent to the Real…with the sub title How some methods deceive meditators into delusions of progress, and the ancient method that bypasses all such problems, does no harm, and always works.
