The Book of Destiny: Unlocking the Secrets of the Ancient Mayans and the Prophecy of 2012 By Carlos Barrios
Discover What the Prophecy of 2012 Means for Your Life
According to the Mayan Elders, at the moment of birth every human being is given a destiny. Our life challenge is to develop ourselves and our skills in order to fulfill this destiny, thus fueling our individual contribution to the planet. At the heart of The Book of Destiny is the sacred Mayan calendar, an extraordinary tool that allows the reader to discover this destiny, along with one’s special Mayan symbol, origin, as well as the protection spirits that accompany them through life. Poetically narrated, the book describes how the calendar contains the scientific legacy of the Mayan people, preserved and transmitted over the centuries through oral tradition and written texts.
Written at the request of the Mayan Elders, by member of the Guatemalan Elders Council and Mayan Priest Carlos Barrios, The Book of Destiny is a tool to help people understand their life purpose and to use this profound knowledge to make the best of their time on earth.
Carlos Barrios is a renowned anthropologist and authority on Mayan history, culture, astrology, and the predictions of the Mayan Calendar. He was born on El Altiplano, in Guatamala, into one of the most ancient and sacred Mayan lineages. Barrios has studied with Mayan elders for 25 years, starting at the age of nineteen. Since then, he has become a Mayan Ajq'ij, a Mayan priest and shaman, and a member of the Guatemalan Mayan Elders Council. He is the author of The Book of Destiny: Unlocking the Secrets of the Ancient Mayans and the Prophecy of 2012.
"Fans will delight in how Barrios connects the Mayan dots." (Library Journal)
