2012: A Clarion Call: Your Soul's Purpose in Conscious Evolution

Nicolya Christi. Bear & Co., $16 trade paper (240p) ISBN 978-1-59143-129-9

Natural disasters and human-produced upheavals seem to be accelerating in frequency and scale, and with each disruption, grave concern about humanity's future escalates. The urgency to respond before the "point of no return" is amplified by modern speculation about the Mayan prophesies surrounding December 21, 2012, portending both the end of a planetary cycle and the possible dawning of a new consciousness. Christi, a "consciousness evolutionist" and activist, believes that a global shift in consciousness is not only necessary but an evolutionary inevitability and an opportunity: conscious evolution is the essential seed of change from which the future can grow. She writes that her "ascension process"--dramatic times of illness and awareness that began at age 16--enhanced her knowledge of wisdom traditions and her expertise for charting humanity's progression to fifth-dimensional consciousness, from Homo sapiens to Homo luminous. Philosophically and pragmatically, Christi outlines the imperative and indicators for conscious evolution, asking each human to heed the call and realize what could be the soul's highest purpose.
