The Book of Destiny: Unlocking the Secrets of the Ancient Mayans and the Prophecy of 2012
This book is a good read. It flows very well. It is a great way to understand the Mayans and their prophecies from an actual Mayan.
Rating: 5 / 5
Why this book is good:
1. It contains information from someone who claims to be an authority on the Mayan people
2. It has a chapter which explains the nonsense surrounding 2012 and gives the real meaning to the predictions
3. It’s cool to look up the Mayan signs of your friends and tell them about their personality (kind of like astrology)
Why this book is bad:
1. It has a chapter (notice I said A chapter) on 2012. The year 2012 is written in big red letters on the cover, but it’s only explained within a single 13-page chapter.
2. If the Mayans and Mr. Barrios are truly a worldly people, then why are all of the prophecies validated using events that happened in the U.S.? For example, are we to believe that the Cuban Missile Crisis and the JFK assassination are the result of a negative energy flow? What about the bad things that happened before that, or after that? What about negative things that happened elsewhere in the world? It just doesn’t add up.
Maybe my expectations were too high; but I just can’t recommend this book. I’ll give you the main message: the world isn’t going to explode in 2012. The rest of the book is fluff.

This is the real thing… checki it out through Earth Changes and several other websites who have contact with Carlos Barrios… pure motives… Imparative message to get out… 2012 not the end of the physical world but the 4th world on the Mayan Calandar and HUGE potential for Human growth and Planetary change for the good. Some practical things to start practicing that are REALLY simple and easy to do. KISS principal. and great place to start a schollarly persuit if you want to get deeper in to the Mayan Calendar and cultrue.

This is a very good book for anyone interested in an authentic overview of Maya teachings as they have been handed down for thousands of years. Readers should be cautious about relying too heavily on the information in many of the books now available on the Maya because they are often based on archeological studies that use interpretations of Maya history and culture made by the Spanish conquerers hundreds of years ago, which, not surprisingly, is completely inaccurate. Carlos Barrios’s book is not one of those. I found it fascinating reading.

Someone has finally written a book which truly describes the true Mayan Path. Don Carlos Barrios is an excellent writer and clearly conveys the essence of the pure meaning of the Mayan spirit and their roll as the time keepers for our age. Don Carlos is and Aqj’ij or Mayan Shaman and has studied the Mayan calenders and hieroglyphics extensively for over 35 years. The knowledge presented in this book represents the true Mayan sign and its meaning for each of the 20 day signs. Readers will find the information very informative and fascinating.
