Beyond 2012
by James Endredy

    There has been much written about the year 2012 and the significance of the Mayan calendar, ancient Greek and Egyptian prophecies, biblical prophecies of the End Times, and native American prophecies.  Many have interpreted these prophecies as foretelling the end of the world to come in 2012 (December 21 or 23 usually).
James Endredy, who has studied many spiritual traditions and is a recognized shaman of the Wirrariki believes that this time is a turning point rather than an end.  An end only of materialism and a time to finally achieve global consciousness.  He instructs us in how to transform, how to assume our roles as conscious co-creators, and how to understand and deal with the earth changes now taking place.  He teaches how to reconnect with nature as well as how to connect with our spiritual side.  
    The book does stick mostly with the Native American Shaman's way of spiritual awakening and doesn't mention alternative methods that others might prefer, but I consider that a small weakness and the book is a good source of valuable spiritual information.
