i never understood the galactic alignment deal. astronomy deals in observation, yes? so we are looking to observe the galactic alignment years and years after it has occurred, being light years away from the respective galactic elements that are lining up. so to fear or hope for it is a little late as it's already arrived. the shift is upon us.
2012 is just a marker, an imprint, an impetus. if it has not manifested somehow for each of us yet, it will soon enough. when i say 2012, i speak of it as an idea which embodies the experiential transit from culmination to rebirth. the various effects of our misguided thoughts, behaviors, and expressions of desire are culminating for us both collectively and individually. when you realize it and start to do something about it, that is 2012. you can't unrealize something. . . once you have passed from ignorance to knowledge the only choice you have is whether to experience it as a gift of a curse. it's up to you.
