The year 2012 and the prophecies surrounding it aren’t just plotline from Hollywood blockbusters, according to one local personality.
Brad Carrigan, author of the book 2012 Enlightened and the speaker at an upcoming seminar exploring 2012 phenomena, says the portentous year will indeed bring significant change to humanity.
“I look at it as a regeneration period,” he said, referring to a “great revealing” that will allow civilization to learn “the deeper knowledge of who we are.”
“We haven’t been told the truth about our history. We’ve allowed ourselves to become the sheep.”
Carrigan, who has been researching theories surrounding 2012 for the last 25 years, claims that government and religious organizations are hiding pertinent information from the general populace, such as alien contact, and that 2012 will be “the age of Aquarius” when such deceit becomes transparent.
While he believes that some sort of natural disaster may occur Dec. 21, 2012, the day the Mayan calendar ends its 5,125-year cycle, he doesn’t want the spiritual relevance of the event to get lost.
“2012 covers a wide spectrum … there’s a lot of elements to it,” he said, adding the “doom and gloom” aspect is only “a part of it, to a degree.”
“I think it’s a beautiful time of transformation,” Carrigan said. “There’s a deep spiritual desire of society to really come together. We want truth. We want love.”
While he wouldn’t hazard a guess as to the number of human casualty to be expected during 2012, he said the recent devastating earthquakes in Chile and Haiti are evidence that something is coming.
“Something’s causing that change,” he said.
In the meantime, he said, no fear is necessary.
“It’s nothing to be afraid of,” he said. “It’s a reawakening. We all die anyway…we can rebuild and make the world a better place.”
Carrigan’s seminar takes place next Thursday at The Cultch.
