What the 2012 researchers say:
John Major Jenkins, author of Maya Cosmogenesis 2012 and Galactic Alignment:
"!It looks great. Nice quality designs and art, this book should really move things forward on the 2012 discussion. I'm also happy that you allowed me to contribute the preface. I'm intrigued with your concluding chapters, a synthesis of the most cogent theories to arrive at a compelling meta-view of the entire field."
Vincent Bridges, co-author of The Mysteries of the Great Cross of Hendaye:
"Dude, what an incredible piece of work... Definitely worth many doffings of the old Phrygian cap...over all it is an honest masterpiece. I've read it twice straight through, and some portions several times more, and I must say that you are about as right as it is possible to be on this subject. Simply and overwhelmingly impressive. Everyone, all the damn whackos, need to read your book..."
Zyzygyz, moderator and owner of Time Wave Zero 2012 discussion group:
"...BEYOND 2012 is a virtual Ph.D. dissertation on just about every subject related to 2012 - written in layman's language with lots of illustrations, and even plates (one of my charts even made it as a color plate!) for easy and entertaining reading. I'm familiar with Geoff's dedication to "getting things right", but still I'm amazed that he was able to put this kind of comprehensive knowledge together, and to present such a cogent argument that there seems to be something special about 2012 that warrants close attention...." read whole review here.
Jonathan Bethel, webmaster of Omega Point Institute and 2012eschaton.com:

The
End of Time - The Mayan Prophecies Revisited by Adrian Gilbert
"According to the ancient Maya, the world as we know it will end on 22nd December, 2012. On that date, their calendar will click round to zero for the first time in over 5,000 years. They prophesised that this destruction will be preceded by a series of natural disasters, including earthquakes and floods. Does this sound familiar? What will this mean for us? Should we take seriously their claims that this will be a time of apocalyptic cataclysm? And, just how did the Maya, a clever but nonetheless Stone Age people, calculate the date of an astronomical event that would take place many millennia in the future? These are just some of the questions posed by Adrian Gilbert, co-author of the international bestseller "The Mayan Prophecies". In "The End of Time", he revisits the ancient archaeological sites of the Maya and makes astonishing new discoveries about their cosmology. He also makes use of modern computer technology to 'backtrack' the skies to the way they would have appeared in previous ages, which has resulted in some major findings concerning the astronomical significance of the Mayan calendar. This absorbing, thought-provoking book is enhanced by a number of illustrations and photographs to help explain the many theories and ideas conveyed in the text. And, in case, an apocalyptic event really is upon us, the author offers tips for survival."

2013
Oracle: Ancient Keys to the 2012 Awakening
by David Carson
and Nina Sammons
"2013
Oracle" looks beyond 2012 with a powerful divination system, including two
mirror-finished card decks, a colorful printed cenote cloth to contain and focus
the oracular energies, and a four-color book to explain and interpret the
guidance of the ancients. In beautiful artwork by visionary artist G. Borri and
David Carson's prophetic interpretations, users will find answers to guide them
through the uncertainties ahead.
Like
the "Medicine Cards", "2013 Oracle" is based on the
spiritual wisdom of the Native American ancestors. David Carson introduced us to
our power animals through that popular deck; we can now go deeper into the
Native American mysteries with the "2013 Oracle". This beautiful book,
deck and cloth immerse the seeker in the rich lore of the Olmecs, Toltecs
Aztecs, Mayans and mound builders. We access the cosmology around which they
built cities of gold where they practiced highly advanced technologies based on
mathematical and scientific knowledge beyond that of the Europe of their day,
knowledge we are only now beginning to comprehend.
Chaos Point, the World at the Crossroads 2006-2012: A Window in Time to Avert Global Collapse and Begin Worldwide Renewal by Ervin Laszlo (July 2006)
Ervin Laszlo explains that we are at a critical juncture in history, a ‘decision-window’ where we face both the danger of global collapse and the opportunity of worldwide renewal. According to Laszlo we have six to seven years to head off unsustainable trends that would lead to a ‘tipping point’ beyond which there is no turning back. After this ‘tipping point’ we either evolve to a safer, more sustainable world, or the social, economic and ecological systems that frame our lives will break down. This is the Chaos Point, but this need not be the end of the world, only the end of a phase from which a new world could dawn. In today’s ‘decision window’ we have a unique chance of creating that new world. This pioneering new book tells us what healing and renewal means, and how each of us can help in achieving it.
2012 : The Return of Quetzalcoatl (Hardcover) by Daniel Pinchbeck
Daniel Pinchbeck, author of Breaking Open the Head has written a 400-page autobiographical tale of his experimentation with psychedelic plants and how this led to an interest in 2012. The book is well-written, though in an intellectual style that may limit its appeal. It reveals some interesting philosophies that may have a bearing on the coming shift, but it doesn't have very much to say about 2012 itself. Much is made of the 2012-crop circle connection, but this is all based on one crop formation. The previously sceptical journalist author ends up not only channelling Quetzalcoatl himself, but claims to be his official "vehicle". But JC Husfelt also claims to be Quetzalcoatl (see The Return of the Feathered Serpent below). There are also several errors that are listed in the Dire Gnosis review:

Maya Cosmogenesis 2012 by John Major Jenkins
Maya Cosmogenesis 2012: The True Meaning of the Maya Calendar End-Date: While researching the 2012 end-date of the Maya calendar, John Major Jenkins decoded the Maya's galactic cosmology. The Maya discovered that the periodic alignment of the Sun with the center of the Milk Way galaxy is the formative influence on human evolution.These alignments also define a series of world ages. The fourth age ends on December 21, 2012, when a large chapter in human history will come to an end. "Maya Cosmogenesis 2012" reveals the Maya's insight into the cyclic nature of time, and prepares us for our own cosmogenesis--the birth of a new world.
See Willard van de Bogart's review
Galactic Alignment by John Major Jenkins
* 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.

Pyramid of Fire: The Lost Aztec Codex by John Major Jenkins and Martin Matz
The first translation of a previously
unknown Aztec codex and its initiatory teachings for 2012:
1. Discloses the potential for great spiritual awakening offered by the end of the Aztec calendar cycle
2. Presents the only existing English-language transcription of the Aztec codex, with line-by-line commentary
3. Contains the epic
poetry and metaphysical insights of Beat poet Marty Matz (1934-2001)
In 1961 an unknown Aztec codex was revealed to Beat poet and explorer Marty Matz by a Mazatec shaman in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. Originally intended for dramatic performance, this codex presents a profound metaphysical teaching describing how the end of time will bring about a visionary ascent. At the behest of his Mazatec teacher, Matz transcribed this pictorial codex into a literary form that would preserve its initiatory teachings and reveal its secret meanings to a wider audience.
Pyramid of Fire is an epic poem that provides a vehicle to transport the initiate into the higher realms of consciousness. It represents a barely surviving thread of teachings that have been passed down in secret since the time of the Conquest. The solar energy within what the ancients called the "serpent of consciousness" is the spirit by which man is translated to the stellar realm at death. Line-by-line commentary by Matz and John Major Jenkins provides insights into the perennial philosophy contained in the codex and its relevance to our times.

Mexico Mystique: The Coming Sixth World of Consciousness
by Frank Waters
This book focuses on a 2011 end-point - why 2011?
The following is an excerpt from Beyond 2012 : Catastrophe or Ecstasy :
"Frank Waters first published the Book of the Hopi in 1963, and to research it, he had lived on the Hopi Reservation for three years (probably 1959-1961) and was subsequently seen as an authority on Hopi matters. In the book, Waters says that the Hopi believe that the Maya, Toltecs and Aztecs were “aberrant Hopi clans” who remained in Mesoamerica while the Hopi migrated north. In 1975 he brought out his book Mexico Mystique, in which he showed common points in the cosmology, mythology and ceremony of the Hopi to those of the Aztecs and Maya, and equates the catastrophic end of the Fifth Sun of the Aztecs with the end of the Fourth World of the Hopi. Also in Mexico Mystique, Waters says that the 13-baktun cycle began on 12th August 3113 BC and ends on December 24th 2011 AD. He got this end-date of 2011 from The Maya by Michael Coe (first published in 1966, but Coe’s later works give a revised end-date of 23rd December 2012). This is obviously why some people have got the impression that the Hopi prophecies end in 2011."

A Monument to the End of Time by Jay Weidner & Vincent Bridges
See 2012: Dire Gnosis review - book re-written and published as The Mysteries of the Great Cross at Hendaye, below
The Mysteries of the Great Cross at Hendaye: Alchemy and the End of Time Weidner & Bridges' A Monument to the End of Time has been re-worked... - just published UPDATE: contrary to what some sites say, Maurice Cotterell is NOT a co-author!
"Mysteries really is more of a
new book than just a new version of AMET. We added roughly 80,000 words of new
stuff, mostly on the medieval period and the cathedrals as well as a more
complete look at Fulcanelli's use of symbolism in Le Mystere. On Hendaye, we
have more information on the Cross itself, and what was perhaps its
Celtic/Basque original, and who placed it in the courtyard at St. Vincent's.
This thread led us to the "real" Fulcanelli behind all the confusion,
as revealed in the Epilogue. Another major addition is a chapter on the Tibetan
connection and Shambalah and how these legends and predictions also relate to
the ancient science of galactic alignment."
"This version is also completely and exhaustively footnoted, with a major
bibliography, index and of course illustrations and diagrams."

Something Is Wrong With Our Sun e-book by Kevin D. Peacock

Lost
Star of Myth And Time
by Walter Cruttenden.
This book has several mentions of 2012 and can be searched for 2012 quotes, using the "search inside books" facility at Amazon.com. Click here for the 2012 search: Lost Star of Myth And Time.
As mentioned in 2012 News Feb 2005, the Sirius Research Group present the possibility that the precessional cycle does not actually exist as a slow rotation of the Earth's axis, but the phenomenon we interpret as that movement actually represents the movement of our solar system around another centre - Sirius. There are several mentions of Walter Cruttenden on the site, and his book, Lost Star of Myth and Time seems from what I have gleaned so far, if not to agree with the Sirius Research Group, to at least consider it as one possibility: "Chapter 5 is devoted to speculation on what the sun's companion star might be, considering various objects like black holes, brown dwarfs and dead stars. It also considers the possibility that Sirius, Indra and Nibiru might be one and the same, while introducing the effect of distant influences like those emanating from the Pleiades.". From the Amazon reviews. Cruttenden's own site can be checked for more information: The Binary Research Institute
"Book Description
The myth and folklore of ancestral peoples around the world hints at a vast
cycle of time, with alternating Dark and Golden Ages. Plato called it the Great
Year. Long believed to be a fairytale, there is now new astronomical evidence to
show it has a basis in fact. Moreover, because it is caused by the acceleration
of our Sun around another star, we learn that the Earth should soon be carried
into a region of space that will have a beneficial affect on our atmosphere,
nudging mankind into a higher age of consciousness.
Lost Star of Myth and Time weaves together some of the latest archaeological evidence with cutting-edge astronomy to reveal a history of the world that finally fits with myth, folklore and the archaeological record. While this book explores some of the most interesting aspects of a once advanced civilization that covered the Earth, it is really about what happens to the Earth and consciousness as our solar system moves through space in the mysterious motion known as the "precession of the equinox". This astronomical phenomenon has since Newton been attributed to local gravitational forces wobbling the Earth’s axis. Lost Star now shows us in no uncertain terms that the Earth’s axis does not change orientation relative to objects inside the solar system at the same rate that it changes orientation to objects outside the solar system, meaning precession must be due to our Sun’s binary motion around another star.
Chapter by chapter it becomes clear that ancient cultures knew of precession,
used it as the clock of the ages, understood it to be due to the solar system’s
motion through space, and realized this subjects the Earth to a cycle of waxing
and waning stellar influences. It is these forces that affect our magnetosphere,
ionosphere and indirectly create the larger seasons of the Great Year. As you
will see this not only gives cause for a major rethink of human history and
potential, but indicates we are approaching a tipping point in the awakening of
consciousness."
The World Turned Upside Down by Jo and Kris Van den Driessche
This book was released in January 2006, and the authors inform me that it covers "new insights about evolutions in our universe. The most important one right now is the near end of a half precession cycle which will leads to a huge world disaster. In other words: a pole shift is on its way. We expect it around 2012 – 2013".
Synopsis:
"The World Upside Down is divided into two parts. Part 1 examines various widely accepted concepts and punches holes in each one. In concise, detailed chapters complete with figures and charts, the authors critically examine the big-bang theory, black holes and the evolution of stars and galaxies. Readers also learn their astounding hypotheses regarding the birth of the moon and the Earth and about continental drift. Part 2 explores the discovery of a "cosmic" year. "Or," the authors write, "should we say it deals with a rediscovery, since ancient civilizations were aware of the existence of 12,888 periods separated by a tremendous worldwide catastrophe caused by the orbit of our Solar System with regard to the direction of the universal plasma and her interaction with the Earth's magnetic core." The Van den Driessches provide gigantic, detailed and varied evidence that the end of the cosmic year appears imminent, and this section of the book explains why. "Can we prepare ourselves in time?" the authors challenge."

Ancient Civilizations and 2012
Fingerprints of The Gods by Graham Hancock
Graham Hancock
suggests that an unusual planetary alignment at the end of
the Great Cycle will cause a gravitational effect on the crust of the Earth,
which is top-heavy with polar ice. The crust will slip, wiping out most of the
life on Earth as a result of colossal tidal waves. However, this planetary
alignment is due on 24 December 2011, which is the date given by Frank Waters
in Mexico Mystique as the end of the Great Cycle. Since the end-point
has now been confirmed as 21 December 2012, if we are due for crustal
displacement, this alignment will probably not be the trigger.

The Lost Hall of Records: Edgar Cayce's Forgotten Record of Human History in the Ancient Yucatan by John Van Auken
"John Van Auken, author of numerous Cayce-related books, and Dr. Lora Little present Cayce's story of how and why a Hall of Records was established in the Yucatan. Backed by solid archaeological evidence and astronomical correlations, the authors show how the Mayan creation story involves the constellation Orion and why Piedras Negras is the likely site of the Hall of Records. In addition, the authors reveal that Cayce has told us what is recorded in the Hall of Records through his many Akasha "readings." Finally, an explanation of the current cycle of the Maya calendar points to the end of our age in 2012 and the beginning of a strange, new era".

There is no mention of 2012 in the synopsis, but there is an article by the author, Ellen Lloyd called, When Will the World End - 2012? here: http://www.ufoarea.com/lloyd_ending.html so it could be that, since the subtitle says we are a bridge between past and future, that the book is indeed about 2012. if you have read it, please email Diagnosis2012.
Atlantis Today - The USA Poised for Destruction by Nina Anderson
"Book Description
Atlantis Today - The USA was written to show the clear parallels between
ancient Atlantis and our present-day civilization. The unmistakable
similarities surrounding the use of technology, social pathways and
political aims are unnerving. According to noted archeologists and
researchers, the ancients possessed a high level of civilization that
ultimately was their downfall, perhaps even causing the cataclysmic
changes on Earth that destroyed Atlantis and other ancient
civilizations. Shouldn’t we heed history?
Will the United States policies towards the environment and the
unbridled use of technology recreate the same outcome as befell
Atlantis? It’s as if we are caught in a time loop. 12,000 years later we
are repeating the same mistakes. As the year 2012 draws near and the
Mayan Calendar ends, will we see a new, enlightened era as many prophets
predict or will doomsday win out and the "end days" befall us?
From the Publisher
Along with the novel 2012 Airborne Prophesy, this author has given us a
glimpse of what could befall the planet in the year 2012. Neither book
is a doomsday prophecy, yet it opens our minds to possibilities based on
the prophecies and the real threat from modern technology and cosmic
changes. "
BUT according to Amanda Killgore, Freelance Reviewer:
"In response to readers' curiosity resulting from her prior book, 2012 Airborne Prophecy, Ms. Anderson takes the time to expound on the theories that were presented as fiction in that work. However, they are laid out as fact herein. Among them is the idea that the ancient world was far more advanced than the modern one, with technology that would put George Lucas' imagination to shame. Left as an imaginary scenario, it makes good fiction. Presented as truth, it lacks credibility. "

Doomsday 2012: A Survival Manual by Randolph Weldon
"An account of how life on earth is fated to end owing to the devastating effects of a giant comet slated to pass close to our planet - violent tremors, incredible heat, volcanic eruption and, as the terrestrial axis shifts and the crust relocates in relation to the poles, irrupting seas and global hurricanes of 1,000 MPH or more, with the combination detonating all nuclear devices and releasing all nuclear waste. It presents prophecies from seven sources, all in accord with what will befall us, provides evidence that the comet is cyclic and recurs every 35 centuries, and describes the ruin inflicted on our planet during past visits. It shows that geological beliefs regarding the origin and evolution of our planet and its life forms are wrong and that the Earth's flora and fauna, man included, were bred in laboratories by aliens having far greater technology than we can ever hope to gain with so little time remaining. It tells how they travel through space in astral form and materialize using physical atoms at the destination, stresses that creatures cannot die, but merely pass from incarnate to discarnate mode, and treats life in the looking-glass universe and how to ascend in its hierarchy."

and, argues Strassman, specifically in the pineal gland, during birth, death,
and mystical experiences. It is also one of the 2 main psycho-active compounds
found in the shamanic brew ayahuasca, and also in the plant/fungi combination
that the McKenna brothers ingested to access the hyperspace realm when they were
given knowledge of the significance of 2012. It is also a constituent of the
sacred mushrooms used by Mayan shamans, so may be behind the timing of the
13-baktun cycle as well.

Beyond the Indigo Children: The New Children and the Coming of the Fifth World
by P.M.H.Atwater
"Connects the arrival of a new type of children with the fulfillment of the
Fifth World of the Mayan Calendar and other great prophecies
• Provides detailed information about the world changes that will take place
before and after December 21, 2012
• Explores the seven "root races" representing the genetic gene pool of the
human family and the phenomenon of soaring intelligence
• Explains the grand sweep of human evolution and the worldwide ascension of
energy now occurring, which will take humanity to the next level of development
According to prophecy, the fifth sun or fifth world of the Mayan calendar moves
into a higher octave of vibration, or ascension, on December 21, 2012. This date
represents a "gateway" of planetary development that will open humanity to new
ways of living and new worlds of opportunity. Ancient traditions have foretold
that our successful passage through this gateway depends on the "fifth root
race"--new stock in the human gene pool--destined to help us through the
exciting and massive changes ahead.
In Beyond the Indigo Children P. M. H. Atwater illuminates the
characteristics of the fifth root race, the capstone being the extraordinary
"new children," those brilliant and irreverent kids born since 1982. She
explores the relationship of the new children to the prophecies in the Mayan
calendar and other traditions, providing extensive background information about
the seven root races (the sixth and seventh of which haven’t yet appeared) and
the great shifting of consciousness already underway. She reveals the connection
of the seven root races to the seven chakras, and how the fifth chakra--the
chakra of willpower--will be opened for humankind as the new children grow to
maturity. She also discusses the phenomenon of soaring intelligence and
undeveloped potential and provides concrete guidance and tools for those who

Tranceformers:
Shamans of the 21st Century by John Jay Harper
NEW!! Now available free online as a PDF file
With appendix by John Major Jenkins
"Tranceformers:
Shamans of the 21st Century is the true story of this author's contact with a
"dead" colleague, George Sebastian Viguet III, a former physicist with the U.S.
Government. Overwhelmed, he spent the next ten years collecting life-after-death
experiences from both the scientific and spiritual literature to compare his
encounter with others on record. The common theme that emerged was trance.
So, employing clinical hypnotherapy
protocols John Jay Harper investigated past, present, and future lifetimes with
clients to document how God is invoking Heaven on Earth now. That is, he learned
that our third eye is opening to angelic visitations, miracles, and the "land of
our dead." We are witnessing what the late ethnobotanist Terence McKenna
(1946-2000) called "the exteriorizing of our soul and the interiorizing of our
body": We are becoming beings of light.
Indeed, the Mayan's "end-time" calendar identifies this shift of the ages as our shift into synchronization with our Sun. The timing for this superwave of light is regulated by the 12 "signs of the times" zodiacal clock located at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. This shift of our globe's electromagnetic axis is melting our polar ice caps and bringing massive Earth Changes; it also heralds the Second Coming of the Christ Consciousness. The point is our celestial clock is ticking and the alarm is set to go off on December 21, 2012."

The Return of the Feathered Serpent Shining Light of 'First Knowledge': Survival and Renewal at the End of an Age, 2006-2012 by J.C. Husfelt, D.D.
"The Return of the Feathered Serpent refers to the prophesied return of the 'messenger.' The prophetic theme of a returning cultural hero is one of the most enduring myths known to humankind. At all times its impact and importance is due to the message of hope and renewal that the hero brings to a gloomy world locked away, as always, in the shadows ruled by fear. In a monumental and epic time of need, the hero re-appears. To the Mesoamericans, their returning prophet or cultural hero was known as Quetzalcoatl - the Feathered Serpent."
"...Dr. JC Husfelt brings a mythic story of his own true
adventures in Asia, Mesoamerica, South America and the
"JC's book and message appear at a most propitious time in human history and brings a message of hope and light. Conflicts, disease and natural catastrophes are occurring at an alarming rate all over the Earth. All of these magnifying the fear and uncertainty felt by so many people. Guidance is needed to awaken out of this stress-filled life and fear-induced spiritual sleep."
"This book will guide you in awakening as a Feathered Serpent-a Sun of God - an awakening to your own intrinsic divine nature. And this awakening is the very key to survival and renewal at the end of this Age. In fact, it is also the secret to a happy, loving, powerful and satisfying existence-in this moment and in every moment of life. Truly JC is the Morning Star, Ahzab Kab Ek - the star that awakens Earth."

Let Your Light Shine for 2012 by Sean Bradley
"Let Your Light Shine for 2012 is the long awaited sequel to Sean Bradley's bestselling book Angelic Energies. This new book by Sean Bradley will demystify the 'mysteries' surrounding 2012 and through reflecting on an ancient civilisation's calendar that ends on 21.12.2012 we can begin to understand the hidden meanings surrounding the end of the Piscean Age and our entry into the new Dawn of Aquarius."
Spiritual Alchemy: How to Transform Your Life by Christine Page
An "esotercist and Doctor" guides the reader through self-transformation in preparation for 2012.
"The Ancient People all agree on one thing; we are in the period of the Great Shift. Some would say that it started as far back as the 60s. But certainly by the time of the Harmonic Convergence in 1987 many of us were sensing a change in our priorities as a deeper yearning emerged from within our souls; it was time to remember and reconnect. As we move towards another important date, 21st December 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar, we must wonder what this highly evolved civilization knew of our time and what they would think of their offspring 5,000 years after the creation of their magnificent calendar. Would they have seen that, in the first years of the 21st century, momentous events would shake the very fabric of every society, acting as the catalyst for the transformation that is crucial to the evolution of human civilization and consciousness? One thing they would certainly say is that these changes will happen whether you or I are ready or not. Because for once this is not about us as individuals or even a particular culture, religion or country. This is about our Earth, a vital being in its own right, raising its frequency to join with the other planets so that our solar system can take its place in the greater scheme of the galaxy and the Universe; this is its destiny."

"There will be a host of new and yet-unpublished research in Part Three, including a section on the galactic energetic mechanism of DNA evolution which I authored myself."
"Edgar Cayce (1877–1945) was the premier mystic/psychic of the Western world, whose many predictions about reincarnation, evolution of the soul, health issues, and Earth changes comprise a legacy that affected countless people. Cayce also predicted that he would return in 1998. Through facts and circumstances, channeler David Wilcock makes a convincing case that he is the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce. His parallels to Cayce include a remarkable physical resemblance, astrological charts, personality traits, correlations in the development and awareness of their psychic abilities, and the apparent connections of Wilcock’s close friends to Cayce’s intimate associates. Wilcock also examines Cayce’s many predictions about global health issues and Earth changes, and gives guidance to those who want to understand the significance of these changes now taking place. Black-and-white photographs enhance this examination of the spiritual legacy of Edgar Cayce by the man who claims to be his reincarnation."

Predictions for a new Millenium by Noel Tyl
Originally written in 1951!
"Tyl, a Harvard graduate and astrologer for 30 years, offers 58 specific predictions of world events that will take place between now and the year 2012. For those put off by astrology, Tyl confines his trines, conjunctions, and ascendants to starred footnotes, so that the book might be read strictly as a futurist's forecast. Each chapter begins with a sweeping historical overview that places current and conjectured events in perspective. Many of his predictions are intriguing: Iran will become an atomic power in 2000; China will abandon Communism by 1999; a U.S. president will be assassinated in 2012, after which the nation will become a center of world government. For some reason Tyl includes no predictions about Russia, though he does say we will make the first contact with aliens in 2004. Speculative but insightful. George Eberhart "
The Nostradamus Code: World War III - 2006-2012 by Dr. Michael Rathford
"In May 2004, members of the Italian National Library in Rome made an amazing discovery. Buried in their archives was an unknown manuscript by the famed prophet Michel Notredame, or Nostradamus (1503-1566). This manuscript was handed down to the prophet's son and later donated by him to Pope Urban VIII. It did not surface again until now, almost four hundred years later. Due to the pressure and scrutiny of the Inquisition, Nostradamus was forced to scramble both the meaning and the order of his quatrains. He made sure humanity would not be able to use them until we had become sophisticated enough to decode them. That time has finally arrived.
Using cutting-edge data mining techniques, Dr. Michael Rathford sifted this complex word puzzle searching for significant patterns and relationships. Almost immediately, he came up with the predictive model known as The Nostradamus Code. When the prophecies-within-prophecies are decoded, the hidden timeline of World War III is revealed. You will read about Osama bin Laden, the next major terrorist attack in the US, the resulting war with Iran, a confrontation between the US and China/Russia, and great detail on the timing and the course of World War III. Drawing on newly discovered Nostradamus manuscripts, a startling new view of the world is revealed. If you agree that signs like terrorist attacks, volatile Middle East, skyrocketing oil prices, and a growing China could lead to WWIII - then you will find this book truly eye-opening.
With a total of eight chapters, The Nostradamus Code: World War III opens with an overview of the bewildering events currently unfolding on the world stage. You will find out why they are happening, and what you can do about them to protect yourself. Next, the years 2006 through 2012 are explained in precise detail. Referred to by Nostradamus as the Time of Troubles, you will read hundreds of startling revelations regarding this era. The Time of Troubles is full of war, despair, and evil, but also of hope and promise. Use this book to enlighten yourself, your loved ones, your world, and your future."
