More Than A Travelogue February 9, 2008
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
Some of the material in this book has been covered in past books, on the website, or in books by others (Ken Page). I was disappointed at first because it seemed like a review. But after reading for awhile, the impact of the book hit mne full on. Some of the paragraphs were so powerful or so reverent, it took my breath away. I found I had to stop reading and close the book to allow the impact of what I had just recieved to sink in. Read this book. It's an experience!
 Clear Information on 2012 February 8, 2008

This book was the best I have read on what we can expect for 2012. This is the first book in which Drunvalo takes you into his personal life and shares his experiences. It was entertaining and informative and read like a fast action thriller. I couldn't put it down. Enjoy!!
Serpent of Light Beyond 2012 February 8, 2008

I have read Drunvalo's Flower of Life books and I new I had to get this one. This is a helpful book to those who may have questions about Earth's
rapidly changing energies and ascension. I am looking forward to 2012 and beyond (it will only get better!) Thank you Drunvalo for helping all of us Lightworkers do what we need to do.
 Not what I thought it was ... February 7, 2008

Well, I've read the Flower of Life 1 and 2, and those books were great because they explain a lot of information in just two books. Actually those books were just a written version of Drunvalo's Workshops, so technically he didn't write those in specific. When I bought this book I was expecting to have more info about what's coming in 2012, but I found something totally different. They were the repetition of the same little adventure over and over. They would just go to a place in the middle of nowhere, pray, find some people in their way, throw a cristal somewhere around the sacred sites, and that's it!. The most amazing thing that happened was the appearance of a condor three times ....??? Indiana Jones is more fun than this. What I mean is that if we are looking to read about adventures, we could simply find that somewhere else. I totally believe in these sacred ceremonies, but in my opinion there's nothing to read/write over and over about them. They are very simple to tell, but to experience them!! is the real deal. I would like to see a less materialistic Drunvalo, because I'm starting to feel something weird about certain things. I see constantly the advertising of his former and future books. I don't know, it doesn't feel right. Maybe I'm wrong, but each would sense these things differently. To end this, I didn't like the book at all. I'll stick to the FOL 1 and 2 until I find something better.
A Real Life Spiritual Adventure Story January 28, 2008

It is hard to do justice to this spiritual adventure story. Words seem totally inadequate.
That we have depleted and vandalized the Earth's resources in over a few decennia is a well known fact, as we grapple with issues like greenhouse gases and global warming. However, there are other facets of our lovely planet that we haven't yet been made aware of, at a global level. The 'Serpent of Light' is one such. Simply put, it is the Spirit of the Earth. Legend has it that it moves every 13,000 years from its resting place to another. The area that the Serpent rests in, gives birth to great schoars and thinkers because of the heightened energies. The movement of the Serpent, according to this book, appears to have taken place recently, (in accordance with the dawning of the Aquarian Age) as it moved from its latest home, high up in the Himalayas to its present resting place, somewhere between Peru and Chile. This shift in the Earth's energy was predicted by the Mayans about 13,000 years ago. Anchoring this energy properly in its present home has involved a concerted effort worldwide at different levels of consciousness. In this book, Drunvalo Melchizedek talks of the work in which he himself has played a major part.
For the first time in my reading, I find a spiritual action story. Coincidences take place so often that one is surprised that one can be surprised at all, that one has not got hardened to the rapid turn of events. Where, for instance, people whom you don't know at all, but are supposed to meet, turn up out of the blue, where you happen to be, to participate in a complex ceremony that required their presence. Where a group of people, drawn from all over the globe, come together to perform intricate rites, and the joy and exhilaration they generate together, as these ancient rituals are conducted, as the consciousness of native American tribes who have been wiped out, are resurrected from the Nether Worlds. The sense of an unceasing party, full of wonderful surprises comes through very vividly in this book.
Drunvalo mentions, also in some detail, his role in awakening and balancing the Goddess Consciousness in the late 1980's. In this, as in all his other ventures, he is mentored by Thoth and the angels. The book concludes with the story of his ongoing interaction with the Maori from New Zealand.
The author attributes his success in getting across to the ancient tribes of the world, to his own heart based perception, heightened after years of doing the Mer Ka Ba meditation. He mentions a time during one of the ceremonies which focused on healing the heart chakra, with a globally drawn group of participants, when one of them said that she sensed (at the end of the ceremony) that 'the Tower of Babel was shattered to splinters'.
This book has moved me as very few have. It contains many nuggets of badly needed esoteric wisdom within its 270 odd pages, pages that bear testimony to a way of life, devoted to living in the eternal Now with total trust of being provided for. It is not meant to be analyzed or understood, for it speaks directly to the part of us that knows all things and holds its wisdom in silence, the human heart. For those of us who are acquainted with Drunvalo, this book is some sort of an extension and elaboration of his earlier books, 'Ancient Secrets of the Flower of Life' (Vol. I and II) and 'Living in the Heart'., and written in his characteristically humorous, self effacing style. All in all: Advanced Wisdom, very readable, and highly recommended for all, especially during these times of uncertainty, confusion aand doubt.
