PART FOUR, devoted to an evolving "new humanity," features Daniel Pinchbeck, and a host of longtime visionary writers: Jean Houston, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Meg Blackburn Losey, Joanna Macy, and James O'Dea. Their individual pieces are, for the most part, an extension of their earlier bodies of work and revolve around a number of common themes. While the wording may vary from piece to piece, their message is pretty much the same, so I am going to treat them as a group.

THE MYSTERY OF 2012 -- GEOFF STRAY
As promised, this entire post will be devoted to Geoff Stray's chapter because it is so chock-full of good stuff. He opens with a brief introduction to the work of Terence and Dennis McKenna, their experiences with ayahuasca (a very powerful entheogen), and their novelty wave theory that "demonstrates the acceleration of change in the universe toward a point...when time will end" -- which they placed at November 17, 2012.

THE MYSTERY OF 2012 -- PART THREE
PART THREE, covering "spirituality, signs and symbolism," opens with Arjuna Ardagh. He is the author of The Translucent Revolution which chronicles the lives of hundreds of people who have experienced an awakening so profound that it has radically transformed their everyday lives. He sees us in the "early stages of a huge shift in collective consciousness," (or, echoing Bill Harman, a "paradigm shift") which may be leading to an "evolutionary leap in human life unlike anything we have known."
