    Synopsis

            In his latest book, former senior computer systems designer and bestselling author Gregg Braden merges these ancient and modern world views into a powerful new model of time. Marrying the modern laws of fractal patterns to the ancient concept of cycles, he demonstrates how everything from the war and peace between nations to our most joyous relationships and personal crises are the returning patterns of our past. As each pattern returns, it carries the same conditions of previous cycles—fractal patterns that can be known, measured and predicted!

            What makes this model so important today is that the returning cycles also carry a window of opportunity—a choice point—that allows us to choose a new outcome for the cycle. Braden suggests that if we can see time from this perspective, the patterns will show us what’s in store for the future, and perhaps how to avoid the mistakes of our past.

            After presenting the case histories that confirm the accuracy of fractal time calculations, the author crosses the traditional boundaries of science and spirituality to answer the question that must be asked: What does fractal time tell us about 2012, and beyond? Because the cycles repeat, the seed for 2012 has already happened and the pattern already exists! In a narrative format of easy-to-read science and true-life accounts, Fractal Time shows us what we can expect as we close the Great World Age described by the Mayan Calendar, and the secret to our moment in history.

    For more than 22 years, Gregg has searched high mountain villages, remote monasteries, and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. To date, his work has led to such paradigm-shattering books as The Isaiah Effect, The God Code, The Divine Matrix, and his most recent, Fractal Time: The Secret of 2012 and a New World Age.

    August 20, 2009: Let me begin this review by stating unequivocally that I very much enjoy reading Gregg Braden's books and listening to his CDs and interviews on such programs as Coast to Coast AM and the Hay House live online events. I own most of his books and CDs, including now Fractal Time. This is a very good book. I have heard about the issues relating to 2012, the Mayan calendar, etc for several years now and never gave them much thought. I was dismissive of the whole thing, but I decided to let Gregg's new book be my first foray into this topic and I am glad that I did. I was amazed to learn from this book the important scientific data behind the issues relating to 2012 and how various cultures and religions have classified the different ages of world time. Gregg has a very good ability of simplifying these otherwise complex issues. He is also very good at distilling the writings and insights of other authors and presenting them to his readers in a concise manner. If you have had an interest in 2012 but have not yet looked into it, let this be the book you begin with!

    But I do have some questions: not about this book per se but about Gregg Braden. I believe it would be well for him to share with his readers a bit more of his background and qualifications to write and speak on the subjects that he does. The scant biographical information one finds on Gregg's web site and book covers tell you that he has previously worked as a computer systems designer for some well known companies. He also states that he has "...searched ancient texts to uncover their timeless secrets" and by implication the reader is left with the impression that these "ancient texts" are from such exotic places as Peru and Tibet. So my questions are these: what are Gregg's qualifications to read, translate, and "uncover" secrets in ancient Tibetan, Mayan, Peruvian, Coptic, and Greek manuscripts? Being a computer systems designer does not qualify anyone to read Tibetan. Does Gregg have a bachelor or masters or doctoral degree from a university? If so, what were his areas of concentration that qualify him to write on the topics on which he claims to have some measure of authoritative knowledge?

    I Also Recommend: Edgar Cayce on the Akashic Records, 2012, Divine Matrix, Love's Eclipse Of The Heart.

    August 05, 2009: Gregg Braden has not let me down. The book is interesting enough to make me anxious to get back to it. The repeats in nature always intriqued me as a child, the coming and going of leaves, plants, flowers the night sky, and even seeing pictures of the past, that are reminiscent of the present.

    It is easy reading even if you are not mathmatical, as I am not. I loved the book, and recommend it to all spiritual people who believe that there is more to life than we can observe, or know from scientific experiment. The knowing from within is answered as you grow with the mind of Gregg

    Braden.
