This February Craig Williams presents a significantly timely lecture on Karma and Cosmic time, as we head into the infamous year of 2012 with a myriad of prophecies and theories circulating around this fast approaching date, we know many people are confused, some are anxious about what’s in store.
What does Yoga and Indian philosophy have to say about cycles of time and how they affect global consciousness?
We asked vedic scholar Craig Williams to shed some light on his upcoming seminar.
Can you give us some context about the upcoming four hour seminar for those new to these concepts and ideas of cosmic time?
CW – My initial inspiration for this talk was to provide some type of forum to answer so many people’s questions about “new age” speculations about 2012 and the “end of the world.” Indian conceptions of time have always been much more indepth and long term than modern new age conceptions. Many people today rely upon “channelling” to get information and I thought it was important to examine and explore the ancient traditions from India to provide people with both solace and inspiration concerning the coming years.
What does karma have to do with time?
CW – This is a complex question! The unique relationship of Karma and Time is in itself a type of Yoga. We will cover this idea indepth during the seminar. One important idea to consider is that our intentions and our actions influence both our perception of Time; how we feel and act can dramatically influence how we literally experience Time. Time is a movement of Cosmic Prana and the science of Swara Yoga provides many tools for personal transformation and transforming our Karma which we will examine indepth in the workshop
Almost everyone has heard of the Mayan calendar and the prophecies for Dec 2012, will you be planning to talk about the Mayan calendar from the Eastern persepective?
CW – Yes, we discuss 2012 ideas as well. There are so many misconceptions and fears about 2012. The complex and inspiring visions of Time cycles from India have much in common with modern quantum physics ideas and can provide the western mind with insights and inspirations rather than fear and dread. I hope everyone will attend this seminar as we will be discussing powerful streams of Gnostic awareness! This information truly has the power to change an individual’s life!
