This book is amazing – the best of ancient wisdom and prophesy combined with intelligent predictions and marching orders for the future. This book has got it all – the personal, the global, the best of the shift and the worst of the shift – with 26 of the leading visionary thinkers of our time giving us their thoughts on a wide range of topics. If December 21, 2012 is the most talked about date on the calendar right now, then The Mystery of 2012 is destined to be the most talked about book of the year – or next five years!Kudos to Tami Simon and the publisher, Sounds True, for gathering this fascinating anthology covering what Ms. Simon calls “a time of unprecedented and accelerated planetary change.” The list of contributing authors is impressive -- Gregg Braden, Jose Arguelles, Jean Houston, Ervin Lazlo, Barbara Marx Hubbard and many other leaders of their fields give us facts, theories and visions from many diverse viewpoints. From the opening chapters, which distinguish what is fact from the Mayan tradition versus what is “New Age” add-ons, through comparisons to what other ancient traditions have to say about this time period, followed by a survey of how this all impacts us in the modern world, this book is comprehensive.
The Mystery of 2012 walks a fine line between what is visionary and what is realistic -- all without crossing over into apocalyptic, catastrophic or alarmist thinking. Still, there is no “Pollyanna” or head-in-the-sand blindness here, just a level-headed assessment of what is going on in a variety of areas such as politics, the environment, economics, science, medicine and more, what are the foreseeable consequences if we don’t act, and what are the practical choices we can make to improve the future.
The keyword here is “choices.” As Ervin Lazlo puts it, “We are living in the opening phases of a period of social and ecological instability – at a crucial decision-window.” There are no surprises here – in every arena of life our current systems are unsustainable and unstable, our corporations are focused on profit at all costs and our governments are inciting conflict, violence and chaos.
Yet, the main message of this book is one of optimism -- that the choices we make in the next few years are vital to the outcome, but that we are able to rise to the occasion. The rise of the Internet and our increasing global interconnectedness speak to an evolution of consciousness that bodes well – as do the increasing number of people who are becoming more psychic, multi-dimensional and wiser in their thinking. Many of the authors liken what’s happening now to a great awakening that will spur more ethical and moral choices at the personal, communal and global levels – and all the authors outline and inspire action in realistic ways. If you have been doing nothing because the idea of changing or saving our world seems too big or overwhelming for one person, then The Mystery of 2012 will change your mind, inspire hope and give you concrete ideas for what to do.
