Product Description:
What Will Happen in 2012? Will there be an age of awakening, a new step in human evolution, or even an end to the world we know? For years, archaeologists have known the Mayan calendar predicts this date as the end of an era on Earth. Today, more and more researchers, spiritual explorers, and even scientists are witnessing signs that 2012 will mark a critical shift in the history of our planet. Now, the leading authorities on the 2012 phenomenon present their insights about this enigmatic date.

Featuring essays from 25 renowned experts on the question of 2012, this invaluable anthology examines the mystery from every angle--spiritual, economic, ecological, and scientific--and to decide for yourself whether 2012 will end with a whimper or a bang. In The Mystery of 2012, you will discover the startling predictions and revelations of prominent thinkers, including: * John Major Jenkins' journey to the source for answers--the original Mayan calendar * Gregg Braden's examination of the scientific evidence for a shift in the Earth's magnetic field, and how it will affect all life * Barbara Marx Hubbard's and Peter Russell's explorations of the accelerating pace of evolution--why we may literally be transforming into a new species * Ecologist Joanna R. Macy's vision of 'The Great Turning,' and how we can take part in this shift to a life-sustaining culture * Daniel Pinchbeck's investigation of the shift of consciousness that will be necessary for humanity to survive 2012 * Jean Houston's predictions on the coming 'Jump Time,' and her practical advice for dealing with the impact it will have on your life * Corinne MacLaughlin's discussion of using spirituality and consciousness to influence business and political trends

- Exploring Possibilities For 2012
This title was one of the first to delve into the mystery of the Mayan calendar's predictions for 2012. A compendium written by people who have studied 2012 for some time, this book reads much like a "Chicken Soup for the Cosmic-Shifter's Soul," offering many different theories and possibilities for the future. Most of these support the idea that humanity is currently going through a profound moment of spiritual evolution and consciousness, which will culminate at the end of the Mayan long-count calendar.

Ultimately, this is a book of hope, albeit one with a new-age slant (and why wouldn't it - the "new age" of Aquarius begins around the same time that the Mayan calendar ends) so be prepared to open your mind to a whole new reality... A time when peace really will guide the planets and love will steer the stars! Highly recommended.

- living through the portal, listening to reason not kooks
whatever you believe about the not to distant future, if you can give this an honest look see, this is probably one of the most comprehensive glances into the might be's and very possibles.. and to boot, it's the best, coz it's not a doomsayers manual i believe, but rather, given towards rather seeing the opportunities that lie ahead. If you've read one of the net's inventors, clifford Stoll's Silicon Snake Oil, and his call back to being grounded, this is the larger or extended picture to that. I ran across this book, after many diferent things in different ways came together. I didn't want to be a cynic anymore, I really don't think that's healthy, but I do desire to be a moderate realist... and this might just be a decent start

- Not what you think it is, but definitely viable.
I purchased this book under the assumption that I would be able to walk away with an understanding of the Mayan calendar and it's "Predictions, Prophecies & Possibilities", since 2012 obviously has a close affinity to it. About eighty-percent of the authors never even allude to the Mayans, so this definitely does not ameliorate one's intellect on them. There are indeed authors of essays that do elaborate on the subject of the Mayans and go more into detail about their perspective utilizing elements from the Mayan culture. However, there are others, which is unfortunately the masses, and even if I am partial to attributes of their interpretations, that had me quite incensed. The only reason I would simultaneously retort these and advocate certain elements is a thing called constructive criticism. Personally, I think most that buy this book will buy it thinking that it is the amalgam of interpretations from ... Read More

- very useful look into changes related to 2012
essays run the gambit from explaining the Mayan calendar to evidences of global change for the better as well as theories of extraterestrial explainations for the source of the Maya themselves. i found the book comforting and non alarmist as well as broad in scope. a very useful book for those who are wondering what 2012 is all about
