The authors of The Mayan Prophecies are not alone in their decoding of the intricate Mayan calendar which forecasts the end of the present world age on 22nd December 2012. Many seers prophesy that the lead-up to this time will be marked by a succession of cataclysmic events from mega-earth- quakes to the tilting of the Earth's axis. The combined research of Maurice Cotterell and Adrian Gilbert (co-author of The Orion Mystery) lifts the lid a little more on the secrets of the lost Meso-American Mayan civilisation. They reveal that the Mayan calendar was inextricably linked with sunspot cycles, and conclude that reduced sunspot activity caused a fertility decline in the Mayan populace and the sudden death of their civilisation. Cotterell presents data showing that the solar magnetic field flux causes not only changes in human oestrogen levels but dramatic reversals in the Earth's magnetic field as well as global catastro- ® REVIEWS phes—such as the final demise of Atlantis, B O Oo K Ss from where the original Mayans are believed to have migrated.

This guidebook is written by an abductee for those who have experienced the alien abduction phenomenon, consider it a real event but have nowhere to turn for help in coping with associated feelings and fears. Author Michelle LaVigne, now in her early thirties, remembers grey alien abduction experiences going back to her infancy. Under the guidance of Harvard psychologist Dr John Mack, she underwent a session of hypnotic regression therapy, which she found very helpful. In an easy-to-read, straightforward style LaVigne describes how the ET abduction process works and points out some common myths and misconceptions about the phe- nomenon. She offers practical advice for abductees on how to identify patterns of fear, how to lessen stress for loved ones, and how to find appropriate professional help and support groups. In this much-needed guidebook, 'experi- encers' will find reassurance as well as tested methods for overcoming mental, emotional and spiritual blocks so they may reclaim per- sonal control over their lives. —— ee Ce ee ue
