Customer Reviews

So much information in this book that you need to know!

As a descendant of Mayan heritage, I have read many books concerning the Mayan Calendar and the enigmatic date of 2012 and this is without a doubt the best book that I have been able to find. Many passages in this book will make you think deeply about what is going on in the world and in your own individual life. The Mayan Calendar is truly special because if you truly understand it, you know that it can help you discover the person that you were born to be and realize your purpose in life; that we all are part of a cosmic continuum. Buy this book, you won't regret it! "Reality is from the eyes inward and illusion is from the eyes outward."

THE ONLY 2012 Book anyone needs to read

This is the real thing... checki it out through Earth Changes and several other websites who have contact with Carlos Barrios... pure motives... Imparative message to get out... 2012 not the end of the physical world but the 4th world on the Mayan Calandar and HUGE potential for Human growth and Planetary change for the good. Some practical things to start practicing that are REALLY simple and easy to do. KISS principal. and great place to start a schollarly persuit if you want to get deeper in to the Mayan Calendar and cultrue.

The Book of Destiny: Unlocking the Secrets of the Ancient Mayans and the Prophecy of 2012

This is without question an excellent book that is comprehensively and thoughtfully written. Once I understood that this is the only book that has been approved by the Mayan leadership, I decided to read it first, and I'm very glad that I did. However, even if I had read other books on the subject first, I believe that the contents of this book would still have been very valuable. There seems to be so much confusion and fear associated with 2012. This book provides a very sensible, comprehensive understanding of the subject from a person who has the highly credible background to inform us. It is positive in perspective, while at the same time presenting what are serious issues that confront our present world. The book is very well written with a smooth translation of the original text, and so it is also a delight to read. It contains wisdom that is worthwhile to reflect on for a long time to come. I am left with anticipation of reading more from Mr. Barrios about what the Mayan have to share when this is deemed timely to impart.

The Book of Destiny

Someone has finally written a book which truly describes the true Mayan Path. Don Carlos Barrios is an excellent writer and clearly conveys the essence of the pure meaning of the Mayan spirit and their roll as the time keepers for our age. Don Carlos is and Aqj'ij or Mayan Shaman and has studied the Mayan calenders and hieroglyphics extensively for over 35 years. The knowledge presented in this book represents the true Mayan sign and its meaning for each of the 20 day signs. Readers will find the information very informative and fascinating.

Excellent Book

The only book I've found on Mayan calendrics/prophecies from a Mayan shaman and member of the Mayan Elders Council. Has an excellent, detailed section on each of the 20 Cholq'ij day signs. My favorite book on the subject!
