Books - The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind
|
Rating: -
they had some credibility until she started predicting events. I could go along with the interpretation of the mayan calendar but when she started pedicting events in 2006 and 2007, which have already passed, she lost credibility. She may still be right as to the outcome but the time frame was way off.

Ms. Hand Clow delivers in The Mayan Code quite possibly the worst book I've read. The vast majority of the book is her gushing exaltation about Carl Calleman's interpretation of the Mayan calendar. (Calleman's work is inaccurate and not actually based on the calendar. In his own words "a distinction has been introduced here between the Great Cycle of seven DAYS and six NIGHTS and the Long Count, the chronology that is actually used by the Maya") To be fair, Hand Clow does mention the work of John Major Jenkins in places but doesn't get into any detail of his rigorous studies. The writing itself reads as one part rambling account of her belief systems and one part advertisement for some of her other books which are mentioned ridiculously often. It would seem that the author has a nose for the new age topic of the day and scrambles to write an op ed piece in the form of a book to capitalize on an easy audience.
One will find very little of value in this book. If you're actually interested in Mayan calendrical studies I refer you to the works of John Major Jenkins, Dennis and Barbara Tedlock, Tony Aveni, Linda Schele and David Frediel. Once armed with knowledge based in fact one can tackle the more, shall we say, interpretive works of Calleman, Arguelles, et al.

This read more like a political tirade against the United States and the Bush Administration...when it makes any sense at all. When the author isn't blasting politics, it reads like a rambling dissertation that makes no sense at all. At those times I'm reminded of the Friends episode and the game show "Bamboozled".

No new Mayan Code information. There are much better Mayan Code books available by far more knowledgeable authors. Barbara Hand Clow uses this book to spell out her off the wall anti-american and anti-christian opinions on today's world. Save your money if you are interested in the Mayan Code. However, it is a must read for the "enlightened anti-american nutjob".

I think Barabara Hand Clow is a little to New Age. It is like she has lost touch with reality. Buy I agree with the with her opinion of accelerating consciousness.
