Book Reviews of Beyond 2012: A Shaman's Call to Personal Change and the Transformation of Global Consciousness
Book Review: Endready picks up where he left off in Eco Shamanism
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an experiential guide to personal and planetary transformation. Endready has keen observation skills blending ancient knowledge with contemporary problems. The author is a worthwhile guide into the mystery of spirt. Unlike many of his contemporaries Endready grounds his talk with his praxis.
The book offers insight on many different levels beginning with Endready's assertion to balance both male and female energies. In this process the author notes the importance that men must work with different energies than do women while balancing their own opposite attributes, but both are equally important, and one not superior to the other.
The channeled voice of the Earth Mother and Grandfather energies is well worth the price of admission, and provided the context for human transformation at this critical time in human/earth HIStory.
The experiential suggestions he offers at the end of the book are worthwhile to the extent that the knowledge becomes embodied. Methinks the point of the book. Herein is the meat of shamanism coupled with the transformational practices he advocates for. Once employed, change may follow.
At this critical time, we have a collective responsibility to transform our own lives while working as activists towards this end. Nothing is more important than to see with NEW EYES both the world and our Earth Mother through this new lens. Only by facing our own addictions by transforming our consumption patterns, do we stand a chance as a species. Yet, working toward collective transformation is equally important. As things speed up, existential angst will take hold forcing deeper rooted dysfunctions, or - the other possibility - is renewed sense of unity, oneness, and healing on a planetary scale. These experiential exercises may provide the link or ground to that end.
Endready offers clear insight grounded in his own example: in other words, he walks his talk. Today this is especially critical to counter the many false prophets: so called spiritual teachers whose only purpose in life is to morph ancient and spiritual truth into a cottage industry for the sake of their own personal power, prestige, and bank accounts. I don't think James is one of those.
In the final analysis, only you can be the judge to the value of the knowledge offered. And more importantly, only you can do the work that can change our world into peaceful opportunities seeking to use prosperity and abundance for all of us, and for all life on the planet and not just for oneself. This is the most important lesson I take from the book. The choice is yours.
Summary of Beyond 2012: A Shaman's Call to Personal Change and the Transformation of Global Consciousness
From James Endredy, the author of EcoshamanismA Shaman's Message of Hope?and Call to Action
War, epidemics, catastrophic geological disasters . . . . We are living out the prophecies of a planet in peril as we count down the days until 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar. James Endredy, noted writer, teacher, and shamanistic practitioner, offers a unique perspective on 2012?a message of genuine hope for humankind. According to Endredy, "every human being can be a shrine of love, an altar of hope" during this time of shifting global consciousness and radical change.
In this one-of-a-kind guide, Endredy consults the "First Shamans," Fire Spirit Tataiwari (Grandfather Fire) and Earth Spirit Nakawé (Grandmother Growth) for wisdom and guidance. Tataiwari and Nakawé reveal how the evolution of human consciousness, sustaining the earth, and our personal happiness and well-being are all connected.
Beyond 2012 offers a wealth of practical ways for each of us to personally help spark the transformation of human consciousness. Learn how your positive actions?reciprocity, compassion, love, and respect for the essences and energies that sustain life on our world?can help save the planet.
