2012, The Odyssey

In the opening of her film, 2012, The Odyssey, Sharron Rose says, "Something odd is happening. Like a shadow on the wall, we don't know if it's real or illusion. We just know it's there." Even those not normally drawn to otherworldly events, are curious about 2012. Everyone senses something's up, especially since the stories of so many traditions converge at this epochal crossroads. 2012, The Odyssey begins with questions, and as they are answered, more questions emerge. That's just how it is with a cosmic mystery of this magnitude.

This is a great intro to the Mayan prophecies and concepts of time. The interviews take a spiraly path into all the ancient wisdom and signs pointing to 2012. It ends with a blessing from the Q'ero Shamans of Peru, who are featured more in-depth in Sharron Rose's latest film, Timewave 2013. In this interview about the Earth Keepers from the Andes mountains, she explains their vision of Homo Luminous. That our evolutionary destiny is to transmute from our human form into a body of light. It frees us from the Trance of the culture, which is actually a barrier to the wisdom of the ancients.

Here's her description of that process, "The transmutation into a luminous light body is a purification or distillation process in which we rid ourselves of darkness. On a psychological level, our emotions — such as anger, lust, jealousy, ignorance and pride — are transmuted through meditation and through working on ourselves. The work begins on the inner levels. The whole change of the world has to start with you, so if you want a world of beauty and connectivity, you have to start with yourself."
