According to Mayan Calendar scholars, there is a 16.4 billion-year evolutionary pattern set in motion for our planet Earth. In 2011, this pattern ends; and in 2012, major astrological influences will help usher in a new human consciousness of oneness and enlightenment.

Steeped in Mayan culture and knowledge, the author confirms what many of us already suspect: time and consciousness are on an accelerating path as we approach the end of the Mayan calendar. In this book, Hand Clow outlines the Earth's evolutionary process and provides a description of the time acceleration with its impact on our lives and that of the universe. She believes that the human race is in for some wonderful surprises, and her view of the future after 2012 is a very positive one.
