The idea of a deadline for polarization just encourages me to heap judgments on myself. I trust that whatever happens in 2012 will be for the best, and while it's taken me a long time to get to that point, I feel like releasing my anxiety about the concept has actually helped me focus on my own development more.
Very well said!

I felt like I suddenly had this weight on my back, like I had to carry this heavy clock that was ticking down the minutes until 2012. And I worried about what would happen to my family and friends, and the world at large. But looking back, it just served a catalyst for me to seek further. It wasn't long after that I started reading Q'uo transcripts. I imagine that this must be a common path for many. Nobody ever said seeking the truth is easy!
Oh wow, that is exactly what I experienced! I finally realized that I was becoming like the born-again Christians, worrying about who was 'saved' and who was not...and waiting for the rapture. That was very disconcerting! I felt very sheepish!
For me also, it was the Q'uo transcripts that released me from this worry and now I feel so much freer. They helped me to realize that polarizing must be a proactive process...something we DO, not something that is done TO us...In other words, we are each responsible for our own choices, and in light of that, it would behoove us to focus on what we do, instead of waiting for something to happen to us. The emphasis in the 'sudden shift' idea seems to be too much about something happening to us...and therefore is a distraction, imo.
I do still think it's important to be aware of 2012, particularly because of the window to more 3D incarnations closing (for the purpose of polarizing), but guess what, we already don't know how much time in 3D we have, so the old adage to live each day as though it were your last, still holds true.
As for David Wilcock, I'm not sure what anyone means by 'authentic.' I don't think he is any more or less 'authentic' than any of us. He has his opinions, but his opinions are no more or less valuable than your opinion or my opinion (imho! ha). He is an other-self doing the work he believes in, offering his info for those who resonate with it. I think he did a terrific job compiling all that scientific data in the Convergence books, and I still refer people to his site because of those books, but I happen to disagree with many of his conclusions. I remember reading someplace (in the Law of One, maybe?) that sometimes those in the position of being a spiritual 'leader' often are found to be less than perfect, for the express purpose of learning/teaching that we are all teachers and students, and no one is 'above' anyone else.
Hence, I see David's work the same as anyone else's: Accept that which resonates, discard what doesn't. Hold him in the highest love/light just as you would anyone else, but don't put him in a 'guru' position because that probably wouldn't be helpful to him. I've gotten to know a few spiritual 'leaders' and famous people, and guess what, they are just other-selves, doing their thing, just like you and me.
