According
to the Mayan Long-Count
Calendar, the current “World Age” will close on Dec. 21, 2012 and a new
one is set to begin. Some think now would be the perfect time to
explore new calendars for humanity.
Now, exclusively from Abbott ePublishing, comes a book offering creative
new changes that would revolutionize
the calendar, just in time for this historic event in
human history.
You'll read about the Maya Long Count Calendar and how it's inspiring a
new look at our Western calendar, which, after nearly 500 years, is
outdated, confusing and seemingly out-of-sync with the Universe.
You'll read why past calendar reforms have failed.
You'll read about new calendar concepts, including:
The
13-Moon Calendar: Inspired by the Maya
The
Symmetry454
Calendar: Beautiful Symmetry
The
13-month "Sol"
Calendar: Updating an Old Idea
The
New Earth
Calendar: A Worthy Hybrid
The
30x11 Calendar:
A Gentle Update of our Calendar
PLUS, you'll explore eight,
incredibly creative, experimental "out-of-the-box"
calendar reform proposals like the Metric Calendar, the
Pentacontad Calendar practiced by the ancient Mesopotamians in the
3rd Millennium BCE, the 17-Month "Tree" Calendar, and the
Fortnight Calendar.
These
ALONE will inspire hours of creative discussion!

Gnostic
and Historic Christianity by
Gerald Massey
From the author's introduction:
"My contention is that the original mythos and gnosis of Christianity
were primarily derived from Egypt on various lines of descent, Hebrew,
Persian, and Greek, Alexandrian, Essenian, and Nazarene, and that these
converged in Rome, where the History was manufactured mainly from the
identifiable matter of the Mythos recorded in the ancient Books of
Wisdom, illustrated by Gnostic Art, and orally preserved amongst the
secrets of the Mysteries."

Jefferson Bible: The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth by
Thomas Jefferson, with an introduction
The
so-called Jefferson Bible, more accurately "The Life and Morals of
Jesus of Nazareth," is the work of Pres. Thomas Jefferson, whom,
influenced by his Deistic beliefs, set about "correcting" the Christian
Gospels by taking out all miracles and other such things he believed
were simply untrue and muddled the Gospel message.
What resulted is a facinating look inside the theological mind of one
of America's greatest presidents. Whether you think he had a point or
misses the mark, theologically, you will enjoy this eBook account,
which contains the full text and an extensive introduction.
