2012: THE RETURN OF QUETZALCOATL is available from and Daniel Pinchbeck’s latest book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl is one that I have been looking forward to for some time. His first book, Breaking Open the Head, ranks as one of the best that I’ve read over the past decade – in both style and substance. In it, Pinchbeck described his own journey from city-slicker cynic to shamanic convert, in the most exquisite prose that one could imagine. In fact, in my review of that book I felt he had reached the rare heights achieved by few writers – those of the calibre of Aldous Huxley – capable of describing the seemingly ineffable. A few years on and Pinchbeck returns with the continuation of his personal journey, though one that seems to go slightly astray as it progresses. Rhino 5 Cd Key Keygen.

He begins the book by introducing his major theme, that of an apocalyptic end to our current paradigm and consciousness, as the end of the current cycle of the Mayan calendar approaches (in, of course, 2012). The hypothesis I propose is that the completion of the great cycle and the return of Quetzalcoatl are archetypes and their underlying meaning points toward a shift in the nature of the psychesuch a radical proposition may seem absurdly far-fetched and beyond rational analysishowever, it is my view that this transition can be approached sensibly, considered in a way that does not insult our reasoning faculties. 2012 is a book embedded within the current eschatological climate of terrorism, Iraq, peak oil and global warming gone mad. Pinchbeck’s observations on these topics range from the bland – for example, the usual ‘sermonizing’ about global warming, with little reference to the underlying debates – to the extremely insightful such as his discussion of Nietzsche’s ideas of “will to ignorance” and “will to superficiality”, which perhaps provide no better description of the bizarre current global mood of ambivalence and apathy, as world leaders wage wars based on obvious lies. The first few chapters live up to Pinchbeck’s promise of not insulting our reasoning faculties, as he provides an excellent overview of the latest new paradigm thought, including Dean Radin’s parapsychology research and the weird implications that the quantum world has for our view of ‘reality’.
