Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Mayan Factor teaches us how to connect directly, sensuously, and electromagnetically with the Galactic Synchronization Beam, a time wave that is now triggering a new phase of galactic evolution. Since 1987, we have been exploring the galaxy with our minds, and The Mayan Factor is an essential guide."
(Barbara Hand Clow, author of The Pleiadian Agenda )

"The Mayan Factor opened up a new audience for the understanding of cyclical time, as opposed to linear time.  This is a perspective that we desperately need today. This book serves as a point of entry into a new cosmic consciousness."
(Frank Waters )

From the Back Cover

NEW CONSCIOUSNESS / MAYA STUDIES

The Mayan Factor opened up a new audience for the understanding of cyclical time, as opposed to linear time. This is a perspective that we desperately need today. This book serves as a point of entry into a new cosmic consciousness.”
--Frank Waters

The Mayan Factor teaches us how to connect directly, sensuously, and electromagnetically with the Galactic Synchronization Beam, a time wave that is now triggering a new phase of galactic evolution. Since 1987, we have been exploring the galaxy with our minds, and The Mayan Factor is an essential guide.”
--Barbara Hand Clow, author of The Pleiadian Agenda

“An academic shaman, Argüelles peers into the sacred calendar of the ancient Maya and finds it is a bio-mathematical blueprint for life itself. There is a deep mythos at work here...Students of higher consciousness will find in it a positive force at work on global enlightenment.”
--High Times

“José Argüelles, the high priest of the New Age movement...is the man who was responsible for the gathering of hundreds of thousands of people in 1987 to celebrate the Harmonic convergence. ”
--National Examiner

“Argüelles's book--brilliantly conceived, meticulously researched, and eloquently reported--is a watershed explication of the myth, science, and mathematical prophecy of the enigmatic Maya of Central America, the “Diviners of Harmony.” Argüelles is a major visionary with his feet planted firmly on the ground and for this radical and pioneering interpretation of Mayan tradition, he deserves a wide readership.”
--East West Natural Health

Artist, poet and historian, JOSÉ ARGÜELLES initiated the Harmonic Convergence of August 1987. He is the author of Surfers of Zuvuya and Earth Ascending. He is currently touring the world promoting a 28-day, 13-month calendar based on Mayan mathematics.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Spiritual Context of Energy, April 26, 2001
By 
Pascal Dupuy (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology (Paperback)
Jose Arguelles presents a harmonic balance of the nature of Energy and Mayan spirituality in "The Mayan Factor." Although some of the concepts can seem intimidating at first, Arguelles' masterful use of language allows the reader peel away the layers of traditional Western thought on the subject of Energy to reveal a core of Mayan philosophy steeped in spirtuality. This book is what I call a "long lingering lesson," meaning the longer you allow Arguelles' message to linger in your thoughts, the more poignant the lesson becomes! For me reading the Mayan Facor was like sipping a glass of 1996 Bordeaux; when I was done I was refreshed, yet thirsted for more, and the world didn't quite look the same anymore! I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Mayan culture, energy, or anyone looking for a unique perspective on humanity's place in the grand scheme of things!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, to say the least., July 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology (Paperback)
Mr. Argulles gives a concise and easy-to-understand analysis of the Mayan Calendar, and then proceeds to leap into unique and interestingly odd interpretations of this calendar and what it means for humanity (based on his interpretation). Although I question his New Age terminology, the ideas as presented are certainly worth having a look at if you're interested in this subject and have a tolerance for the mathematical complexity that this calendar can present. Argulles has apparently amassed quite a little following by charging people for "further information," but this book really is all one needs to understand his bizarre interpretations of Mayan spirituality. Nonetheless, it is a strangely good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Mayan fascination, November 21, 1999
This review is from: The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology (Paperback)
This is the first book I have read in a series of Mayan religion and culture. This book is absolutely necessary for anyone studying the Mayan culture. It provides an unorthodoxed look at there culture and religion. It will furthermore open ones mind to the abilities of our predecessors, and show that there is much more to be learned of our history as humanoids. This book has fantastic technical merit. I am not a archaeologist or a anthropoligist or even a paleontologists. Therefore i can not credentially state that this book is true. But I have read many Mayan books now and after much experience it has opened into a labyrinth of mystery. One that may not be solved but so fabulous to learn. For anyone looking at this book you need this, for education or for spiritual growth of your own discipline. It will propel you to better and broader horizons. I would like to thank the author for revealing another side of what i see as a biased history of the Mayans. Thank you.
