While researching the 2012 end-date of the Maya calendar, John Major Jenkins decoded the Maya's galactic cosmology. The Maya discovered that the periodic alignment of the Sun with the center of the Milk Way galaxy is the formative influence on human evolution.
These alignments also define a series of world ages. The fourth age ends on December 21, 2012, when a large chapter in human history will come to an end. "Maya Cosmogenesis 2012" reveals the Maya's insight into the cyclic nature of time, and prepares us for our own cosmogenesis--the birth of a new world.
"Jenkins' "Maya Cosmogenesis 2012" presents a fascinating, meticulously researched, exquisitely reasoned, scholarly yet readable account of the development of ancient Mesoamerican astro-spirituality, and offers an inspiring poetic vision of humanity's future." --Douglas Gillette, author "The Shaman's Secret: The Lost Resurrection Teachings of the Ancient Maya"
