YEAR
ZERO: Time of the Great Shift by Kiara Windrider Time is cyclical, not linear. The year 2012 represents both the end of a great cycle of time and the dawning of a new one. Drawing on meticulous research as well as personal shamanic experience, Year Zero: Time of the Great Shift clarifies the "big picture" of planetary evolution from the perspectives of ancient wisdom and modern science, revealing an intricate interplay between phenomena (such as galactic superwaves, magnetic pole reversals, evolutionary impulses within matter, and the descent of supramental light) in order to shape a new species of humanity on a rapidly evolving earth. Rather than waiting passively for something to happen to us, this is the time to actively dream a new world awake! Publication date: November 2011 |
