John Major Jenkins has worked since the 1980s on a breakthrough reconstruction of lost aspects of ancient Maya metaphysics and cosmology. His landmark work of 1998, Maya Cosmogenesis 2012, with an introduction by Terence McKenna, was augmented in 2002 by Galactic Alignment: The Transformation of Consciousness According to Mayan, Egyptian, and Vedic Traditions and his recent book, The 2012 Story: The Myths, Fallacies, and Truth Behind the Most Intriguing Date in History. John’s work seeks to elucidate perennial wisdom in Maya cosmology as well as other traditions from around the globe. Emphasizing the importance of transformation and renewal, John’s work has appeared in major media outlets and documentaries internationally. An incisive observer of modern cultural trends and deeply rooted in the values of a revivified perennial philosophy, John brings a clear and discerning voice to complicated issues involving indigenous paradigms, shamanism, sustainability, and 2012 studies. http://Alignment2012.com ; http://Update2012.com

We have all heard a lot about 2012 through the filter of a nihilistic media. But what teachings did the ancient Maya intend for 2012? The answer is found in the Maya Creation Mythology, which presents in storybook form teachings that apply to all cycle endning sin the Maya calednar, including the one in 2012. John Major Jenkins, author of the recent book The 2012 Story: The Myths, Fallacies, and Truth Behind the Most Intriguing Date in History, will clarify misconcetpions and go right to the heart of the spiritual teachings that we can all embrace to learn about the challenges and opportunities that lay before us. http://the2012story.com.

Turn-of-the-millennium science is not nearly so antagonistic to the basic ideas of astrology as many of our critics imply. Prepare yourself to dazzle those who mock you next time you are pilloried for your "superstitious" interest in astrology.

Evolutionary Astrology integrates ancient metaphysics and modern psychology. The symbols represented by Evolutionary Astrology no longer simply describe you. Instead they speak clearly and challengingly of your path through life—and of its pitfalls. Freedom and choice dominate the system. In the light of the idea of reincarnation, every planet and point in the chart represents a pre-existing dilemma, far older than your birth certificate. Each one also promises a possible resolution of that dilemma. In practice, evolutionary astrology depends upon the dynamic interaction of two simultaneous perspectives. First, we learn to read “the chart behind the chart,” which is to say, we grasp the predicament of the soul based on unresolved prior-life experiences Second, we use a more familiar astro-psychological approach in order to understand the present personality—but we interpret that personality and its dramas as a tool which the soul is using in order to achieve its higher evolutionary aims. As we take our conventional "delineations" into this evolutionary context, we move beyond "description" into "prescription."
