For the Maya, December 21, 2012 marks the beginning of the fifth cycle of 5,200 years when a new socioeconomic order will arise in harmony with Mother Earth and peace and wisdom will reign. Carlos Barrios’ The Book of Destiny helps clarify what the 2012 date means to us and how we can best prepare ourselves. This is the first book that the Mayan Grandfathers have authorized.

At the heart of The Book of Destiny is the sacred Mayan Calendar, an extraordinary tool recognized for its ability to predict events. According to the Grandfathers, every human being is given a destiny at birth. This book allows us to discover that destiny, our special Mayan symbol, and the protection spirits that accompany us through life. We are introduced to the Cholq’ij Calendar, which synthesizes ancient Mayan wisdom while serving as a transcendent instrument anyone can use today. Through it, we can understand our strengths and weaknesses, the energy we were born under which serves as a guide for our life purpose and fulfill our reason for being.

This is the story the Mayan Grandfathers have passed down for thousands of generations. For the first time, The Book of Destiny makes it available to all of us.
