Review Summary: A challenging book for the mind, body, and soul!
Date: 2008-02-28
Details: This book challenges you to grow. I bought this book because I was interested in mayan studies and found out it was more. Very difficult to understand but I like it. Then things in my life got real bad "will not go into detail" felt real negative for month's until boom! 09/11/2001. Decided to discard my spirituality. But you know what? 7 years later I found out that once you've opened the door it can't be shut! Now I understand this book. Time is a constant 13x20=260 kin days or on a much bigger scale katuns which are 20 tun "years". 13x20 katun=5200 tun 3113 B.C - 2012 A.D.(The galactic beam). Jose Arguelles really know's what he is talking about and I hope I get to meet him some day. There's no doubt about it that this book will probably make your head hurt and your eye's cross but the payoff of understanding it is worth it! Who want's to read just an ordinary down to earth book about the maya? "boring!" And the reason for all those other bad review's? It was to hard on there minds they couldn't take the pain. NO PAIN NO GAIN!
Review Summary: the most wonderful book
Date: 2007-06-08
Details: This book was one of the most thrilling stories I heard a long time ago, but the more I read it and study the subject I realized how important is for our spiritual and future life, and even nowdays development...this author is guiding us through a marvelous and valuable knowledge...it is highly recommended for those who wonders about the world and its real future and for those depresing signs of destruction when the book tells us about construction and optimism...
Review Summary: beyond the rational
Date: 2006-06-15
Details: it is possible to read this for what it is and to split the reading into doubt. either is valid.
you either feel the sucking throttling of Hunab Ku...or you don't (yet).
i dislike new age fluff myself, but this isn't that...
read all the materials, the counter-arguments. then let it ferment. you'll figure it out.
celebrate this or not. but don't spin your wheels. unless that
is temporarily your path.
2006 and counting....!
Review Summary: Based On Occult Philosophies
Date: 2004-09-08
Details: This is a case where reading the reviews of other readers helped me understand my feelings about this book.
This book comes to conclusions about the Mayans that are heavily based on bizzare relationships between numbers. For me it was impossible to understand what he was talking about with all the numerology.
A lot of the Mayan art work contains monstrous creatures who are always frowning and looking sad. That's probably a warning about the possible dangers of getting involved with the I Ching. At the beginning of the book it states that some Jesuit monks had experimented with the I Ching and they went insane. (The I Ching appears in the tv show 'Dark Shadows' as a way to open doors to other domains.)
I wasn't able to read the last chapter because I started to sense the horrible occult energy coming from the book. Then I heard a voice say 'we are the keepers of the light'. I can't imagine who was telling me this.
This often happens when I read books which are based on occult or satanic ideas such as for example The Da Vinci Code.
On the positive side there are some beautiful illustrations that I think the author created himself. The author is certainly an unusual person who has a background in art history. Another reviewer said the author thinks he's a reincarnation of one of the Lords Of Time. Certainly anyone with such an intense interest in Mayan history must have had past life experiences as a Mayan. Maybe he's someone who was involved with the more mysterious aspects of this religion.
