Starting the year with a lot of energies...we are being pushed/led to higher ideals and the far more pleasant manner of living they cause, disconnected from the past...note that some spiritual texts mainly describe how to live; this becomes more of a concern due to our Koyaanisqatsi and growing realization that we must go another way. The weather is revealing itself as an increasing hazard, one which must be solved. There will be growing awareness of the problems we face, such as this, and empetus to observation/organization/solution. Some new ideas will show up thanks to the presence of the Higher Dimensions and their associated genius. "Why didn't anyone ever think of that before, it's so obvious!"
But all in all, more proof of higher vibrations, the desire to be in them and to stay in them, of the desire and need to move into them as the standard. Fighting from those who cannot change, will not change, I don't wanna, you can't make me... Deeper insight into the malfeasance of government and government-related actions and agencies. Some shocking. PC said that Obama wouldn't go after BushCo directly, and IMO has likely prevented some harrowing info from coming to light too early (pun intended). All things in their time. Doesn't the military/industrial complex take about half of the governments spending? That sort of thing won't disappear overnight, but will diffuse and slowly break apart in the increasingly positive energies.
There will be more people realizing that there IS hope, that something better can be created and best of all, =maintained=. Which makes very important solving the problems in its way. Increasing love for the Great Mother Earth and voices raised toward caring for her more completely. Initiatives may begin regarding neighborhood care/upkeep, and co-op farming, which are things which should increase significantly, if you consider them at all. Food prices are becoming ridiculous, and there are increasing shortages...grow your own. Start another generation of Victory Gardens.
"Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit and herb gardens planted at private residences and public parks in United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Germany[1] during World War I and World War II to reduce the pressure on the public food supply brought on by the war effort. In addition to indirectly aiding the war effort these gardens were also considered a civil "morale booster" — in that gardeners could feel empowered by their contribution of labor and rewarded by the produce grown. This made victory gardens become a part of daily life on the home front."

This because of need as well as the increase of "good ideas". In beginning to work in a more communal manner, we become included and empowered, and satisfied as to a better way of living that we are making our own. Thus America begins some level of spiritual enrichment, as predicted by the Maharishi and Yogananda. This will be important especially if the cost of oil continues to rise. Transportation costs equal higher goods costs, and food is key. Those hanging tomato plant growers as seen on television are looking more and more interesting :)
I'm not talking instant revolutions here, but the continued birthing of positive trends amidst the absolute of increasing positive energy. Trend-watching is a good way to gain some level of insight. Those who doubt the "2012" energy thing may gain a greater belief, and hopefully some happiness regarding it, as it's good news for those who want something positive (or at minimum, the groundwork for something positive to be created). It's easier and easier to make positive actions "stick", to take hold and to gain empetus. Forward-driving energy is the important thing, combined with positive intent.
I've got to work upon this sort of thing; I don't care for the ephemeral much at all either. However, too much information can cause a lack of work if it is believed that a particular direction is guaranteed. The 2010 election should hopefully make it quite clear that if you want something, you're going to have to get out and make it happen. Input begins to equal output.
What is the world you wish to create? So begin. It is become easier and easier to do so.
Addendum:
One of the main points of the economic crisis the money bastards have brought upon us at a personal and a national level, world-wide, is to work upon creating any amount of self-sufficiency you can engender, including food co-ops with others, barter for skills and services, etc., and to WORK against corporate takeover of everything, which is of course what they're after. Self-sufficiency and co-operation with others at this level obsoletes the old meme of selfishness and Kontrol.
