Synopsis
The acclaimed metaphysical epic that binds together the cosmological phenomena of our time, ranging from crop circles to quantum theory to the resurgence of psychedelic drugs, to support the contention of the Mayan calendar that the year 2012 portends a global shift-in consciousness, culture, and way of living-of unprecedented consequence.

November 29, 2009: Warning...if you're looking to read about the ancient Mayans, do not read this book. Instead, Daniel Pinchbeck drags the reader along on his life journey including his childhood illness (why do we care?), drug trips, shamanism, alien abductions, and the occult. While it was certainly an interesting read, he tried to connect his outlandish drug induced hallucinations with the 2012 spiritual awakening.
Okay. But not exactly what I expected.by Happy2B

March 09, 2009: This book was full of material that I had never read before, but I expected the author would spend more time discussing the Mayans than he did. It seemed like more of a trip down memory lane glamorizing his drug use. I found it very ego oriented, which is unfortunate when you consider the fact that there is a large part of the population that believes 2012 will be a time of consciousness raising. I think he could have taken a more futuristic, proactive approach to how the consciousness raising may come about and what can be done to facilitate that rather than reminiscing about his personal past. I have since passed up other books on this topic wherein Pinchbeck is editor, etc.
