Many people make predictions about 2012. Some say the end of the world is coming. Some say the world will undergo a transformation or humanity will experience changing consciousness. Others argue that what you believe will happen December 21, 2012, which is exactly what is living at that moment in history.
Why the discourse on the 2012? This is the year in the Gregorian calendar, when the Mayan calendar abruptly ends. Why stops or restarts the time December 21, 2012 Nobody really knows, although many people have theories. However, the idea that humanity or the world as a whole is about to undergo a transformation rate is a new idea. For example, ancient Jewish mystics predict such a change, but transformation of the world that is coming does not happen to another 231 years. However, since is in its infancy.
The Jewish mystics, or Kabbalists say that according to the Jewish calendar, the world's spiritual evolution can be compared to seven days a week. Compare the year 6000 to the end of the sixth working day of the week and cosmic predict that this year marks the time when the world HaGadol Shabat, or Saturday Grande, where 1000 years of sacred time and space begin.
Today, the Jewish calendar has the year 5769. Kabbalists I would say around 12:30 Friday afternoon, a time when Jews began to prepare seriously for the Sabbath, which begins at sundown on Friday night.
So what does this mean for us? This means that now we must begin to prepare for the transformation was to come. And when it happens, we to experience "the world to come", a time compared to what other traditions have called "Heaven on Earth" or "peace on earth."
Kabbalists have clearly indicated that we should prepare for the coming era, changing our consciousness of altruism in a selfish person. To help prepare 2012 Jewish or 6000, we develop greater awareness of not wanting to get for our own sake but for the pleasure of giving to others.
The basic idea behind it is a spiritual world. We learn to connect with God by behaving "as God. The Kabbalists say that God created the world to give us divine gifts. If we focus our attention on the present, which can be donors too. This eliminates the separation that we normally exists between us and God, between donor and recipient. When you remove the separation, we feel connected to God, which generates an overwhelming feeling of peace. Of course, we were created as a receiver God's goodness, if you want to receive us just want to do with the intent to give or share what we receive with others.
The change began a few at a time. When we change our consciousness, which has a domino effect on the world around us. If we begin to prepare for 2012 or 6000 now, who knows? maybe just going to create the predicted change instead of changing what happens to us. In both cases, there is sure to improve our individual lives and make the world a better place for live. About the Author:

This is because Kabbalah, in Hebrew, means reception. Kabbalah is about how to receive all the happiness and perfection who come to reveal the force, which covers all of Creation, the Creator. Kabbalah teaches us how to connect with that force, and when we do, we will receive all the abundance that exists in their level.
Sounds fantastic and the supernatural? In fact, we learned this wisdom of the people who are just like us, only found that within the interior of man, there is a connection to the power which sustains Creation. As in natural science, measuring how they felt, examined and recorded their findings. The books he wrote eventually became a science that anyone can now study.
However, the study of books of Kabbalah is very different than the study of other textbooks or other sciences. The review process works in a special way, in reading the text, gradually develops new sensations within, and begin to feel their connection with the Creator.
By studying the books written by Kabbalists, we begin to see the world the way they do, and we discover that we live in an enormous spiritual reality. As a result, we find our place in the grand scheme of things, where we learned we come and where we go, and most importantly, "What is our purpose in life?"
A remedy for the soul
In paragraph 155 of the Introduction to Talmud Eser Sefirot, 20th Century great Kabbalist Baal HaSulam (Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag) writes: "Why did the Kabbalists requires each person to study the wisdom of Kabbalah? In fact, one thing is important, worthy of being released: it is a magnificent invaluable resource for those engaged in the wisdom of Kabbalah. "What do we mean by Baal HaSulam a remedy? Kabbalists explain that each person has a soul, but in most people, the soul is dormant. As a result, we are not spiritual reality, our connection with the Creator, and the abundance that comes from him.
Therefore, Kabbalists say that it is vitally important for everyone to study Kabbalah. This valuable resource that the wisdom of Kabbalah gives us the ability to awaken our souls. And it happens in a simple-just try to experience what they are studying. Since then, embark on a journey of discovery, increasingly revealing the Creator to the level of infinity and perfection that exists.

Bnei Baruch, http://www.kabbalah.info/ is the largest group of Kabbalists in Israel, sharing the wisdom of Kabbalah with the entire world. Study materials in over 25 languages are based on authentic Kabbalah texts that were passed down from generation to generation.
Each religion has a majority of the esoteric, United within segments. They always seem to be in the minority, but having been a member of each camp I think I'll stay with the mystics and believers should be directed towards their own benefit. We suffered a lot of the Mayan prophecies as we are the maya (illusion) of external religion.
There is a consciousness, one God!
Whatever religion or group of believers decided to call a party, never mind. ONE Appeals that the Hindu Atman, the inner light, as the Quakers, not I, as the Buddhists or not the Holy Spirit, like most Christians, is the one and only Creator all. The diversity in unity does not deny the mystical realities. Read what the mystics of different religions has said and experienced.
> Hui-neng, a Buddhist Illiterate Zen said: "Our very nature is the Buddha, and apart from nature there is no other Buddha. > Moses de Leon, a Kabbalist mystic said: "God is complete the course of his being, happiness and love which becomes capable of being perceived by the motives of the heart …. your name. > Al-Halah Monitor Sufi mysticism proclaimed, "I am the Truth." > Tantric Buddhism Padmasambhava said, "When I finally discover the naked truth only emerged from within the absolute consciousness permeates the universe " > Christian Mysticism, Decorates Catherine of Genoa, said: "All my being is God, not by simple participation, but a true transformation of my being. " > Meister Eckhart said: "I have that I and God are one. > Jesus said, "My father and I are one.
How can we explain these concepts without them? These illusions are not affected neuro-psychological. The Hindu mantra, neti neti (not this, not) is not an inscrutable expression, but the reality of someone who lived together like most mystics, finally reaching known.
I am so grateful I was not locked up in the religion of the Maya and external examinations of self-righteousness, doctrines and prejudices that previously they are melting. How much ice still I am sure in the end their love will melt.
Do you feel warmer?
