What does this date truly mean? The Shift of ages where we all enter a higher vibration of reality, and leave all our problems behind and go into a new dimension?

I don't think that's much of a consciousness shift. I think entering a higher vibration of reality means beginning a new age where we realize that all this suffering we face, is an opportunity to strengthen our connection to ourselves, eachother, the earth, and the heavens. When we can face any challenge knowing it's is energy for us to turn into enlightenment. Now the Cycles are coming together, in human consciousness spirit and science are ready to be one again, Cycles of the earth, sun, and even the center of our galaxy synchronize. It's as if heaven and earth have come together to point man to oneness. If you want to shift your consciousness you better know what that really means. Know Thyself, Love Thyself, Be Thyself.

"There is no self nature which makes people different. The moment you are in samadhi, you will see trees are also in samadhi. The mountains are in samadhi. The stars are in samadhi. The whole existence is in samadhi. Only you had gone astray. You have come back, merged and melted into the wholeness of the universe."
-Osho 

To me Samadhi is remembering that immortal, infinite connection to all things and really feeling it. Feeling that the energy you are now was once within another, upon the earth, which came from a star, which came from all the energy of this entire universe compressed into oneness at the beginning. When you have become this, there is nothing that can fetter you to the finite notion of the world.

There is no manifestation without an intention, there is no intention without a desire, there is no desire without a self, there is no self without an existence, there is no existence without a manifestation.

The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us, how will our end come?"

Jesus said, "Have you found the beginning, then, that you are looking for the end? You see, the end will be where the beginning is.

Congratulations to the one who stands at the beginning: that one will know the end and will not taste death."
 

Taoism and Quantum Mechanics

The Tao gives birth to One.
One gives birth to Two.
Two gives birth to Three.
Three gives birth to all things.
-Lao Tzu

The Tao is the initial potential, the possibility, the notion to come into existence. The One is the summation of all possibilities, all the energy. The initial burst of energy that begins the universe. From the One comes the Two, Yin and Yang. Yin is the limit, and Yang is the motion. They imply, and complete each other. Now the energy has Negative and Positive, from the possibility against the emptiness emerges the pieces that create the Three. Positive, Negative, Balance. Proton, Electron, Neutron. Henceforth the Three becomes all things.

"Trying to grasp things, you lose them."

"Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations."
 -Lao Tzu

This may refer to the behavior of an electron (wave-particle duality), how it is a wave in it's original state, yet upon observation it appears a lone particle. As a wave it is indiscernible, it is at one with the energy of the Tao. When desiring to prove that this particle is it's own being separate from you you have already created the separation. However, this state of being implies the nonbeing, that you cannot know what that electron really is. It is still uncertain even when you're certain it is particle. Much like the ego, the limited idea of self that can only affirm what it is with what it's not. The Pattern of the Tao repeats at all levels, and the Chinese knew this long ago. They created a binary code known as I Ching before Lao Tzu that could be used for divination by understanding the relationship of division in all things. This philosophy also became the basis for the Taoist process of Internal Alchemy (Neidan), which is the refining of Body, Mind and Spirit (The Three) back into oneness with Tao. (This is a very simplified way to put it)

I look at the Internal Alchemy like this, Spirit is the original state, the summation of all energy, not bound by space or time. Body and Mind are images that reflect on eachother that create an individual's experience of Spirit. Mind is based on Duality (The Brain, Kidneys and Lungs are in 2), and it's beliefs and way of observing energy are what makes it separate from body and spirit.

So whats it all for? It means all things are uncertain except for the One, which cannot fail because it creates neither success or failure. For what I have just written is not certain, it is only the Tao.

Purusha

In Hinduism, there is a concept known as Purusha. Purusha is the original self that pervades the universe. Purusha does not know who he is, so he descends into the multitude of forms and densities to find himself. This is you, you are an aspect of Purusha finding himself in a new way. This is who I am as well, I am reflecting upon the Purusha in all existence and have found it is my self. Other people, other objects are only new ways to see yourself.

To tie this to 2012, we are expecting a tremendous burst in novelty on the 21st. Novelty is Purusha reflecting on what has been conceived of before and springing off of that into new possibilities. Since you are Purusha, anything your consciousness can conceive of is a possible reality. I do believe this is what original Christians meant when saying Man is created in the image of god. He is creator spirit, only his own perception of limit can get in his way.
