I was about 17 years old when I first heard of the December 2012 phenomenon. Although skeptical of doomsday theories and esoteric predictions, it was the trigger that led me\u00a0down the internet rabbit hole, where I spent\u00a0hours upon hours of research on subjects ranging from alien beings communicating with planet earth, to our debt-based monetary system calling for a mass revolution.<\/p>\n

I have never been the same since. I knew\u00a0these ideas seemed far-fetched\u00a0to most people, yet within this maze of alternative information; I still was able to find gems of truth reminding me that there was more to life than what I\u2019d been told. That I wasn\u2019t \u201cbroken\u201d just because I didn\u2019t fit in this world or had talents that weren\u2019t valued in school. That maybe it is society that is broken\u2026 and that my mission was to help transform it.<\/p>\n

I am now 26 years old, and I still stand by what I said. I still feel deep within my bones that we are in the midst of a mass consciousness shift where the status quo is rapidly losing credibility. I still believe that a world where we destroy the earth for profit and hoard wealth while others starve is unnecessary. I still believe I am here to shake things up and make a change. Yet I also believe that the whole new age \/ conspiracy whirlwind of information out there may be slowing down the very same personal and collective evolution it promotes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong. In\u00a0no way do I want to discredit the value in information that helps highlight society’s ills and open the mind to new\u00a0possibilities. It has been a crucial part of my own path… but one that I had to outgrow in order for me to\u00a0truly grow up.<\/em><\/p>
