It's an interesting question ChristiEl :-)

Certainly when I came here, Gaia had to be reminded of her higher vibration. She'd sunk into the density due to the intervention and had almost been cut off from it. To me, 2012 was the culmination of the reconnection and shift back into the higher consciousness - for which many were in supportive action.

No, we're not 'a step behind' - at least not those who've come here fully aware of what their role in that is. But yes, the mass human consciousness is retarding and lagging behind the shift at this time.

I trust that makes sense
