The predictions surrounding the ominous date of December 21st, 2012 are plentiful and often a bit "freaky". This video is a delightful exception! We follow a personal journey of discovery across the USA as Sharron Rose gets in her car in the Northwest forests and ventures cross-country (and across time!) through beautiful scenery and amazing scenarios. Her travels are punctuated with discussions traversing mostly unfamiliar - and FASCINATING - facts and theories based on little known historical artifacts, ancient structures and writings of learned philosophers and religious adventurers. These well-respected scholars and writers enlighten us to The Mysteries that have been "hidden"...which means that they simply have not been included in our mediocre educational system which typically focuses on the generic and mundane. After my first viewing, I immediately watched it again as it was filled with so much new information, I wanted to take more time to both understand these amazing revelations and to let the beauty of the positive options for our collective future presented "sink in". The quality of the film was outstanding and I fell in love with our guide Sharron. Having viewed MANY dvds featuring 2012 possibilities, I say this one is by far the best, especially for those who are just discovering the 2012 "prophecies". If there was ONE dvd on the 2012 phenomena to watch/buy...this is it !

For anyone who is deeply concerned about the future of the planet, I highly recommend this film.

Writer/director Sharron Rose, went out on a quest for the meaning and import underlying the prophesies around the year 2012. She interviewed many of the leading writers and experts on the subject and brought together their knowledge in a very deep and moving way, for they spoke of the profound changes that are coming for all of us from an intellectual, spiritual and practical perspective. Whereas many of these type of documentaries focus on the fear factor, while it does not skirt the issues that are in front of us, 2012 The Odyssey puts them in a larger historical context and shows us that even though things may seem dark and chaotic, there is light at the end of the tunnel and we need not despair. In fact, it is a very kind and hopeful film.

In addition to the excellent interviews, towards the end, the film unveils the message of the mysterious Georgia Guidestones. Probably built by the Masons, or could it be the Illuminati or New World Order, this Stonehenge like monument offers a message for the future that is both frightening and fascinating. As Sharron says, this message which is like some new form of the Ten Commandments certainly gives one a lot to think about.

From the depth of the interviews, to the meeting with the Inka Elders and their prophesy that a new species is being birthed , to the concept of the noosphere and the teachings of Teilhard de Charden, this film is packed full of juicy information. I have watched it many times now with friends and family and every time I learn something new.

I was vaguely aware about the importance of the date with regard to the Mayan calendar and that there was some cosmic, astronomic aspect as well. This movie brought so much of that vague knowledge into sharp focus. It made me interested enough to read some of the writings by the various interviewees (and interviewer).
The most startling thing to me was the very positive approach -- this is not an 'end of the world' scenario. It offers a very hopeful vision of what can be if we have the strength and courage to make it so.
I have to admit I got tired of looking at the car as the narrator made her odyssey, but I never tired of the shots of the forests and mountains she traveled through -- and she's got a great hat!
I would recommend this to anyone looking for an introduction to these mysteries surrounding 2012. It will focus your search in a very positive and life-affirming way.

Good information, I've heard a lot of info about 2012, the first time I heard was from the PSYCH-K book that said a computer model at MIT showed that great human discoveries go off the chart at none other than the year 2012, same year that the Mayan calendar stops. So I've been interested in learning more. This video does a good job of putting out some information but I kinda felt like I was left hanging to some degree. It hit a lot of different things from different angles and I just had an overall lack of flow feel to it.

I had never heard about the landmark down in Georgia and found that interesting but could see no connection to 2012 with it. I think the interview with Gregg Braden was one of the better parts and I agree with him that the 2012 marks the start of a new beginning and we're going through the change right now.

Don't let my low 3 star rating keep you from viewing the DVD, I have no regrets in watching it, it's just not the higher quality product I would give a higher star rating.

This is a DVD presentation that "connects the dots -- and dashes" of Mayan calendars and cosmology and integrates them into The Big Picture. As a collector of wisdom teachings from around the globe, this is now at the top of my Five Star A-List. Equally, I can see this is a must have for folks that want to share these insights with others but have lacked the resources -- time, energy, talent -- heretofore. Do yourself a favor and get this information into your consciousness, and turn your lights on fully, before our house lights go out in the flash of a coronal mass ejection that melts down our high-tech society power grid in Solar Cycle 24!

By design, this is not a pop-culture, fast-cut video for people with short attention spans. Rather, it moves gently like a guided meditation (backed by an etheric musical soundtrack no less) for those ready to hear a heart-opening message of spiritual ascension. Sharron Rose's calm and soothing voice all but invites you to sit back, take a few deep breaths, and truly ponder what so many cultures throughout history have deduced... that as we near the fateful year of 2012, humanity will be faced with a choice like no other in history. Our material world is destabilizing at an accelerating rate, challenging us to ponder what will follow: Are we doomed? Or, as the scholars and spiritualists in this video suggest, is this just the painful birth process necessary to deliver us to a plane of true higher awareness? You should not be surprised to learn that the choice between humanity's extinction or ascension will be (as it has always been) up to us.

If you need to have your 2012 fears confirmed with a titillating piece of fluff, you can watch that any day on the History Channel or YouTube. But if your spirit is sending out a message of hope that your brain is just now beginning to understand, this video will help keep the channels of communication between the two open. Highly recommended.

I showed this DVD to a group of friends and acquaintances, and it was unanimously well received. The fact that several well known New Age thinkers and speakers were included gave the film added credibility. We all appreciated the positive message that we, as humans living on planet Earth, can choose to make 2012 the doorway to a golden age. We are not bound to go through more hell on earth unless we choose it. The film reminds us that we are now being given a loving wake up call by the Universe.

As an eighteen year old who is concerned about the future of the planet and humanity I was touched on a very deep level by the beauty and message of 2012 The Odyssey. Director Sharron Rose interviews experts on the subject who have done a tremendous amount of research on the Mayan calendar and other prophesies from many traditions. Their message speaks to my heart as well as my mind. I was especially moved by the words of Alberto Villoldo and Jay Weidner concerning the issues that confront us and power that we have within us to shape our future.



I am so tired of the doom and gloom, fear-based programs that are presented on the mainstream television. The way that they are edited seems to touch only on the superficial and sensational aspects of our world. 2012 The Odyssey is different. It sheds new light on the issues of our times and offers a new vision of possibility for us. As Alberto says in the film, it is time for us all to wake up from our "cultural trance" and come together to create a world of harmony and beauty.



I love nature. The beauty of the forest, the greenery, the animals and the streams, gives me peace of mind and joy. I am saddened by the fact that people these days do not seem to care about our natural environment. I am concerned about the destruction of the environment and wonder what the future holds in store for my generation. So I was pleased to discover in the film the final statement written on the Georgia Guidestones, " Leave room for nature, leave room for nature." I wish there were more films like this one.

Very informative and lots of big hitters on the DVD (Alberto Villoldo, Jose Arguelles, etc.) explaining the background of 2012 and the meaning of the big date from a variety of cultural aspects. Narrator detracted from the substance of the tape, but overall EXCELLENT, VERY INFORMATIVE.

I just had the opportunity to watch this fascinating and mind expanding film and it's powerful sequel TIMEWAVE 2013.
Bringing prophesis together from many of the world's ancient traditions concerning the events that will occur around the year 2012, I was amazed to see how relevant these predictions were to the events taking place in the world today, the economic meltdown, global warming, the health care crisis and much more. The final sections on the Founding Fathers and a strange Masonic monument called the Georgia Guidestones provoked my interest and desire to look more deeply into these subjects. I highly recommend this film.
