| Short 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. |

| About the Author | John Major Jenkins is a leading independent researcher elucidating the mysteries of ancient Mesoamerican cosmology and calendrics, who has authored five books and over a dozen articles on the Maya. Since 1986 he has journeyed to Mexico and Central America five times, thoroughly exploring the ancient sacred sites and contemporary indigenous cultures. Throughout this period, Jenkins has researched the inner workings of Maya calendar science, writing his first book 'Journey to the Mayan Underworld' in 1989. His book 'Tzolkin: Visionary Perspectives and Calendar Studies', published by Borderlands Science and Research Foundation in 1994, reconstructs the Mayan Venus Calendar and establishes that the "True Count" of the ancient tzolkin calendar is still followed by contemporary Maya daykeepers. In August 1997, Jenkins presented his pioneering research on the astronomy of the Maya calendar end-date in 2012 at the prestigious Institute of Maya Studies, associated with the Museum of Science in Miami. In March of 1998 he presented his construction of the true meaning of the Pyramid of Kukulcan at 'The Cosmic Serpent of the Ancient Maya Conference' in Merida, Mexico, having been invited to speak by the Indigenous Council of the Americas and the Mayoan Council. |
