Product Description: Explores the central role played by the galaxy in both ancient and modern times in the transformation of the human spirit.
• Extends Jenkins' groundbreaking research in Maya Cosmogenesis 2012.
• Reveals how the coming Galactic Alignment of era-2012 promises a renewal of human consciousness.
• Uncovers the galactic vision of Mayan, Egyptian, Greek, and Vedic cosmologies.
The Galactic Alignment is a rare astronomical event that brings the solstice sun into alignment with the center of the Milky Way galaxy every 12,960 years. Building on the discoveries of his book Maya Cosmogenesis 2012, Jenkins demonstrates that the end-date of 2012 does not signal the end of time but rather the beginning of a new stage in the development of human consciousness. He recovers a striking common thread that connects the ancient cosmological insights of the Maya not only to Egyptian thought and Vedic philosophy but also to the diversity of humankind's metaphysical traditions ranging from Celtic sacred topography and Medieval alchemy to the Kabbalah and Islamic astrology. His work presents us with a groundbreaking synthesis of lost wisdom once common to ancient cosmologies that will help us understand the significance of this transformative cosmic milestone.
worldly knowledge i thought this book was really informative giving lots of accumulated info that he has gained from over the years, researching, etc..condensed into a meaningful whole as it relates to 2012. He gave information that i wasn't aware of, so, I HAVE to continue to research FURTHER AND SO INTERESTING, THAT I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN BUYING MORE OF HIS BOOKS TO READ.
witch Actualy that book is very informative, especially where it touches on the Vedic tradition and the work of Rene Guenon.
Magical Christianity, Revised Edition: The Power of Symbols for Spiritual Renewal with a CD of Guided Meditations
A good read The book was delivered as was said. The Author brings out a lot of interesting information but is a little long winded at certain points. At times he seems to forget that not all of the readers of his book have his background in the things he writes about. Overall the book was a good deal.
Interesting This book was interesting and a decent read. Jenkins brought a lot if info together and didn't go overboard on the religious rhetoric. I found it to be a good comparison of interesting facts brought together with some interesting opinions with nothing forced on the reader. You are left to make your own conclusions.
An acedemic inquiry Clearly John Jenkins is extremely knowledgeable on his subject. The depth of detail in this book is quite amazing and is written concisely.
For me however, I found the detail a little too much. I couldn't help but think this kind of academic, intellectual inquiry was some attempt to justify the validity of the Mayan Calendar. It seems a distinct possibility to me that one could get lost in the detail of all this and miss the very essence of the Mayan Calendar. The point, in my mind at least, it is to turn inside to the intuitive Self, which is arising so obviously in these turbulent yet exciting years.
I can understand how an academic person would enjoy the deep analysis and mass of information, but a more "heart" directed person may find it all a bit heavy and drawn out.
I suppose the one thing I would simply suggest is that if you are a "heart" type of person, as I am, then maybe this isn't the book for you. As a matter of interest, I found Carl Calleman's books easier and more direct.
And in case you're wondering, I find the whole 2011 versus 2012 debate a little moot. That will show up soon enough. It isn't now. Be here now, in touch with your SELF. Practice that vigilantly, and the rest will follow perfectly naturally. Just like it's supposed to.
