John Major Jenkins is an independent researcher who has devoted himself to reconstructing ancient Mayan cosmology and philosophy. Since 1986, John has traveled to Mexico and Central America seven times. In 1990 he helped build a school in San Pedro, near Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. In 1994 he delivered relief supplies to a Quiché Maya community in the Western highlands of Guatemala. Since beginning his odyssey of research and discovery with the Maya, John has authored dozens of articles and many books, including:

• Journey to the Mayan Underworld (Four Ahau Press, Boulder, CO: 1989)

His 2002 book, Galactic Alignment: The Transformation of Consciousness According to Mayan, Egyptian, and Vedic Traditions was released with Inner Traditions International (Rochester, VT) in August 2002. 

His new book, co-authored with Marty Matz, is called Pyramid of Fire and was released in November 2004.

He also facilitated the translation of The Key to the Kalevala by Pekka Ervast, editing and writing the introduction for it. This classic text on Finnish mythology was published with Blue Dolphin Publishers in 1999. In 1995 John was appointed literary executor for Eino Friberg, Finnish-American poet and translator of The Kalevala, the national epic of the Finnish people.

As a visiting scholar, Jenkins has taught classes at The Institute of Maya Studies in Miami, The Maya Calendar Congress in Mexico, The Esalen Institute, Naropa University and many other venues both nationally and abroad.

In October of 2000, the Discovery Channel featured John's work on two episodes of the "Places of Mystery" series, which continue to be broadcast regularly on the Travel Channel. John will appear in a documentary on the Maya that will be broadcast on the History Channel in March 2006. John's careful scholarship and cutting-edge insights into why the Maya chose 2012 to end a great World Age cycle have been endorsed by the most progressive thinkers of our day.

José Argüelles was born January 24, 1939 in Rochester, Minnesota. He and his twin brother, Ivan, were the son of a Mexican father and German-American mother and lived their first five years in Mexico.

Argüelles was best known as the initiator of the world famous Harmonic Convergence global peace meditation, which occurred on August 16-17, 1987. During that time, he also awakened the mass consciousness to the significance of the year 2012 and turned the world’s attention toward the Maya and their calendric system. His best selling book, “The Mayan Factor” (1987) gives credence to the Mayan Calendar’s cycles of natural time, and reveals the historically unprecedented galactic shift in time coming in 2012.  

José Argüelles is also recognized as one of the creators of the Earth Day concept and founder of the Whole Earth Festival, now in its 43rd year in Davis, California. During the Fifth Annual Whole Earth Festival in 1974, he received a special commendation from the State of California for being the "Father of the Whole Earth Festival” and for his contribution to the art and culture of California.

His love of art and culture inspired him to obtain his Ph.D. in art history and aesthetics from the University of Chicago in 1969. His academic career led to professorships at Princeton University, University of California Davis, the Evergreen State College, the Naropa Institute, San Francisco State University, San Francisco Institute of Art, University of Colorado Denver, and the Union Graduate School.

Author of numerous philosophical and cultural essays, as well as poetry, his pioneering books were translated into many languages and include: The Mayan Factor, Earth Ascending, Surfers of the Zuvuya, The Arcturus Probe, Time and the Technosphere: The Law of Time in Human Affairs, the seven volume Cosmic History Chronicles (with Stephanie South) and Manifesto for the Noosphere: The Evolution of Human Consciousness. (For full bibliography see below).

As a prolific artist, Argüelles has provided the illustrations for a number of his books, as well as the cover art for the periodical Psychedelics: Their Uses and Implications (Osmund & Aaronson, 1969). His activity as a painter includes exhibits at the Princeton University Art Museum, 1968, and the Inner City Gallery, Los Angeles, 1969. His murals can still be seen at the Psychology Department, University of California, Davis (1969), and in the Dan Evans Library Building, The Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington (1972). With Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, he assisted in the Dharma Art Exhibits in Los Angeles (1980) and San Francisco (1981). His visionary drawings were also exhibited at the Time is Art Gallery, Portland, Oregon (1999-2000) and his "Doors of Perception" paintings exhibited at the Time is Art Gallery, Ashland, Oregon (2004-2005).

Argüelles is a lifelong arts activist for peace and the planetary transformation of consciousness. In 1968 he co-organized the Transformation Event, New York City, March 25, 1968. He is co-founder with former wife Lloydine of the Planet Art Network (1983), and World Thirteen Calendar Change Peace Movement (1994). The Planet Art Network (PAN) spread to more than 90 countries promoting art as the foundation for global peace, while reviving the Nicholas Roerich Peace Pact and Banner of Peace (1935).

Inspired by prophetic information received from Tony Shearer in 1970, Argüelles distilled his lifelong study of the mathematics and prophecies of the Mayan Calendar into the Harmonic Convergence (1987). This event commemorated the last day of the “Thirteen Heavens and Nine Hell” cycles as prophesied by Mexican prophet Quetzalcoatl.

As a scholar of comparative religion and world thought, he has made major contributions to research on the I Ching, and studied and practiced Tibetan Buddhism for many years with artist and meditation master, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. More recently he had focused his attention on the mathematics of the Qur’an in relation with the Law of Time.

But he is most noted for his pioneering work on the mathematics of the Mayan Calendar. A visionary experience at the age of fourteen atop the Pyramid of the Sun, Teotihuacán, Mexico, in 1953, led him to a lifelong investigation of the mathematics and prophecies associated with the Mayan Calendar. His decoding of its mathematics resulted in the discovery of the Law of Time (1989).

According to the Law of Time, modern humanity is in crisis because it is immersed in an erroneous and artificial perception of time, causing civilization to deviate at an accelerated rate from the natural order of the universe. To remedy this self-destructive situation, a collective unification into galactic consciousness is required. For this reason, José Argüelles promoted the return to a natural timing cycle through the regular measure of the 13-Moon 28-day calendar. Knowing that the Maya used up to 17 calendars simultaneously, and after experimenting living many cycles at once, Argüelles found that the 13-Moon 28-day cycle was more than a calendar, but a master synchronization matrix that all other systems and counts could be synchronized by. For this reason he called it a synchronomoter, a tool for measuring synchronicity.

José Argüelles has received recognition from many cultures. He was a recipient of the Magical Blend 2000 Millennium Award. On March 3, 2002, he was honored as "Valum Votan, Closer of the Cycle" by Nine Indigenous Elders atop the Pyramid of the Sun, Teotihuacán, Mexico. They recognized him as bringing new knowledge to regenerate the traditional knowledge, and awarded him a ceremonial staff for helping to wake humanity up to the meaning of 2012, the conclusion of the 5,125-year Great Cycle of the Mayan Calendar (as well as many other cycles). On October 9, 2003, The Archbishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church of St. Petersburg, Russia, publicly recognized him as the bearer of Mayan prophecy.

He was chief Founder and President of the Foundation for the Law of Time (2000-Present), a non-profit organization that promotes the new time knowledge and 13 Moon calendar.

In 2002, he recognized his apprentice, Stephanie South, and soon thereafter began a process of education known as the Galactic Mayan Mind Transmission that continued until his passing in 2011. In 2005, he began the Noosphere II Project with South, and participated in the Pakal Votan global telepathic experiment in conjunction with ISRICA, a branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

In 2005, he initiated the vision of CREST13: Centers for the Restitution, Investigation and Education of the Natural Mind, self-sustainable centers with an eye to global telepathic experiments (www.crest13.org). As a member of the Noosphere Spiritual-Ecological World Assembly (Moscow, Russia) in 2009, he launched the Noosphere World Forum (www.noosphereforum.org).

In 2009, he presented his final 7-day seminar, “Synchronotron” at the Babaji ashram in Cisternino, Italy. In 2009 he was also named Honorary Member of the Club of Budapest.

In 2010, he received the highest honor of the International Committee of the Banner of Peace in Mexico City: the Nicholas Roerich Peace Medallion. In 2010 he was honored for his lifelong work with the Mayan Calendar, by Flordemayo, Mayan curandera and member of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers.

José Argüelles passed away on March 23, 2011 (9.17, Kin 89), 6:10 a.m. (exactly the same time as his birth) and precisely 1,328 years after the passing of Pacal Votan (683).

Dr. David Conroy, MD, LLM,

Morgellon's Syndrome is the name given to a cluster of symptoms including pruritis, erythematous dermatological irritation, and excoriations. The defining feature of Morgellon's Syndrome is the spontaneous exodus of fibers from the epidermis in affected individuals.

The vast majority of the medical community believes that persons presenting these symptoms are delusional and are therefore suffering from a mental illness. For the last two years the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States have been investigating persons afflicted with what the CDC term an explained dermopathy and Morgellon's Syndrome for the presence of an infectious aetiology.

This book demonstrates evidence of a new microorganism infecting a person complaining of a dermopathy and fibers spontaneously exiting the dermis who was diagnosed with delusional parasitosis. The organism is likely a fungus that lives beneath the epidermis with the ability to infect common fibers including cotton, feathers and hair follicles.

James C. Fox - Documentary investigator, discusses his investigations and findings in Florida and Louisiana during the BP oil spill.

James Fox was born in England and raised in America by his father, Charles Fox, who wrote for newspapers and magazines like Rolling Stone, Playboy, Harpers and the Catholic Digest. When James was three years old, his father was struck with Multiple Sclerosis. For many years, James assisted his father as he traveled to locations for news stories. They conducted interviews with people ranging from theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking for Esquire to racecar driver Dan Gurney for Car & Driver.

After completing two years of education in Paris at the Sorbonne, James moved to San Francisco. He attended San Francisco State University where he finished his degree in French.

James was very skeptical when a close friend first introduced him to the field of UFOs in 1993. However, when a reliable acquaintance corroborated the first story, James began to investigate.

In 1998, he completed and sold his first major documentary UFOs: 50 Years of Denial? to the Discovery Channel. It included such notables as Apollo 14 Astronaut Edgar Mitchell and Col. Philip J. Corso, who was in charge of the foreign technology desk at the Pentagon during the Eisenhower administration. The success of UFOs: 50 Years of Denial? has led James to travel around the world for years in pursuit of further evidence. For his film, Out of the Blue, James interviewed witnesses including President Gerald Ford, Mercury Astronaut Gordon Cooper, Cosmonaut Pavel Popovich in Star City, Russia, and five-star Admiral Lord Hill Norton in England. He has a new film coming out called "I Know What I Saw." His passions are photography, bicycling, motorcycles, traveling and seeking truth.

Richard was born on a farm in country Victoria, Australia. Whilst he loved the country, the connection with native and farm plants and animals this provided as well as the practical skills he learned, he never felt at home in that community.

After four years at boarding school in Ballarat, Victoria, he moved to Melbourne to attend University. Apart from 18 months in Adelaide, Melbourne and its nearby surrounds has been his home ever since.

After completing his PhD in Materials Engineering, Richard joined IBM in sales and spent some 7 years with the company in sales and management roles. In the mid-80’s he joined a small existing consulting and products business and helped grow that business to a A$25M operation in a few short years. It was a pinnacle in his business and financial success.

A year or so prior to deciding to sell the company, Richard had an epiphany of sorts, when he realised all the success he had been creating was not addressing a deep void he felt inside himself. So began a search to understand this and shortly thereafter came a crisis that led him to destroy almost everything he had created in his life. This included losing over $1M in a year and experiencing a breakdown in his marriage.

In his attempts to make some sense of his life, he investigated many healing modalities and finished up becoming a member of small yoga-based group that morphed into a cult. After some years Richard realised that, although he had learned a lot about spirituality through the group, it was not where the answers lay.

The only healing modality that brought any lasting benefit to him was Reiki and through this work became aware of a connection to Archangel Michael. Richard also studied Reiki to be able to heal himself.

He continued to investigate other healing modalities and read a broad range of spiritual material as he looked for answers. Despair was a close companion throughout this time, though underlying this was also a sense that it would all work out and make sense. It seemed like a piece of cosmic irony. He was deeply in debt, unemployed with no seeming employment prospects, a desire to keep his children in their schools… A mix that looked like it was never going to work - and yet there was this optimism deep inside him.

In investigating the connection he felt to Archangel Michael, he found a resonance with the work being done by Carolyn Evers. He began to participate in some conference calls with her and this work resonated deeply within him. It began a continuing unfolding that has been in part expressed in his eBook.

In more recent times, Richard has been working closely with Carolyn, and this work is deeply connected to the unfolding of events at the end of 2012 and beyond

Richard has 5 children ranging in age from 25 down to 11. The launch of his eBook has opened many doors as people on many levels have begun to connect with its message.

Lindsay Wagner makes little distinction between her life as an actress, advocate, mother, humanitarian or author.   What unites these various parts is a commitment through her work and her personal life to advancing human potential.  Early in her career this commitment was evident in her Emmy Award winning portrayal of “The Bionic Woman”.  Her use of media as a way to communicate ideas to help people in their personal process is demonstrated in so many of her films. 

Films such as:  "Shattered Dreams" on spousal abuse and domestic violence starred in and co-Produced by Lindsay in 1991; "The Taking of Flight 847" on the root complexities of terrorism (1988); "Evil In Clear River" on the quiet rise of the Neo-Nazi movement in America (1988); "Child's Cry" on child sexual abuse (1985);  "I Want To Live" on the moral dilemma regarding capital punishment (1983); and "The Incredible Journey of Doctor Meg Laurel" on the battle between the naturopathic and allopathic healthcare (1979).

Off screen, Lindsay continuously works both publicly and privately in advocacy and public education.  She shares the knowledge and experiences, which have greatly impacted her life and have profoundly enhanced her awe of our often unrecognized human potential.  Lindsay has co-authored two books: a best-selling vegetarian lifestyle cookbook entitled, The High Road to Health (Simon & Schuster) and a book on acupressure, Lindsay Wagner's New Beauty: The Acupressure Facelift (Simon & Schuster).  

From 2003-2006 Lindsay co-facilitated a support group for convicted batterers and their families.  In 2004 she co-founded “Peacemakers Community”, a non-profit organization that offers families and individuals more constructive and peaceful ways of relating to each other and oneself in order to help end the cycle of family violence.  Her work utilized a range of psychological techniques and Spiritual encouragement. 

For the public, Lindsay has been offering experiential “Quiet the Mind & Open the Heart” retreats and workshops. These programs are designed to help us access more deeply the peace and joy which is naturally within us and to realize how the conscious and unconscious concepts we carry in the mind often have a life diminishing influence on others and ourselves.  For many, it can be the catalyst needed to break through old or undesirable patterns affecting our family dynamics, intimate relationships, self-image, parenting, friendships and our work/career. 

“Every aspect of our lives will benefit from a shift in perspective that ‘Quiets the Mind and Opens the Heart’.“
