It is time to put aside labels, use of names

Stepping beyond political boundaries, it is time to set aside labels and names, methods to differentiate and discriminate and participate in one of the planet's greatest opportunities we may ever get to witness. If you find yourself embodied as a human at this time in history or reading these words, it is not a coincidence.

The Mayan people recorded civilizations in periods of 5125 years and the year 2012 roughly marks the end of one of those periods. They prophesied that either our civilization would perish by our own hand or we would usher in a world based on spiritual principles (unity versus separation). Now is that time, and not one individual is going to save us, this transformation is going to be done with our collective mind and that collective consciousness has called forth a leader with a voice of unity. It is not the time to sit back and watch, we must all participate for real change to manifest.

This country was founded on the principles of a country for the people, by the people, and of the people which means you are charged with exposing and employing your own particular gifts. It means we as a people must now hold an image larger than any one individual. We must activate the message inside us all of what we are doing here. Together, we can raise the vibration of the collective mind. Be what you came here to be, "be the change you wish to see in this world," as Gandhi says.
