"Fractal time"
I've always liked Greg Braden's work. I'll be buying this book as soon as I'm done the rest of my list.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1401920640/ctoc/ctoc

He was starring on Coast to Coast AM radio, which you can listen to here:

In this fascinating book, Gregg Braden merges the modern discoveries of nature’s patterns (fractals) with the ancient view of a cyclic universe. The result is a powerful model of time—fractal time—and a realistic window into what we can expect for the mysterious year 2012 . . . and beyond.

Applying fractal time to the history of the world and life, he proposes that everything from the war and peace between nations to the patterns of human relationships mirror the returning cycles of our past. As each cycle repeats, it carries a more powerful, amplified version of itself.

The key: If you know where to look in the past, you know what to expect when the same conditions return in the present and future. For the first time in print, the Time Code Calculator gives us the tool to do just that! Through easy-to-understand science and step-by-step instructions, discover for yourself:

·    How the conditions for 2012 have occurred in the past, and what we can expect when they repeat!

·    The “hot dates” that hold the greatest threats of war, and the greatest opportunities for peace!

·    How Earth’s location in space triggers cycles of spiritual growth for humans!

·    Your personal time codes for the key events of business, relationships, and change in your life!

·    How each cycle carries a window of opportunity—a choice point—that allows us to select a new outcome for the returning pattern!

·    What the 1999 ice cores from Antarctica reveal about past cycles of climate, global warming, Earth’s protective magnetic fields, and what these things mean for us today!

In a powerful yet comprehensible style, Gregg gives us a way to make sense of the rapid, and often dramatic, change of today’s world. It is these understandings that guide us away from the destructive choices we’ve made in the past. They also show the way to the greatest possibilities of our lives. Gregg suggests that if we can see time from this perspective, the past reveals the great secret of our moment in history and what we can expect as we approach December 21, 2012!




About the Author

New York Times best selling author Gregg Braden is internationally renowned as a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality. Following a successful career as a Computer Geologist for Phillips Petroleum during the 1970s energy crisis, he worked as a Senior Computer Systems Designer with Martin Marietta during the last years of the Cold War. In 1991 he became The First Technical Operations Manager for Cisco Systems, where he led the development of the global support team assuring the reliability of the internet in its early days.

For more than 22 years, Gregg has searched high mountain villages, remote monasteries, and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. To date, his work has led to such paradigm-shattering books as The Isaiah Effect, The God Code, The Divine Matrix, and his most recent, Fractal Time: The Secret of 2012 and a New World Age.

Gregg’s work has been published in 27 languages and 30 countries and shows us beyond any reasonable doubt that the key to our future lies in the wisdom of our past.

I used to be obsessed with chaos theory and fractals.

This reads to be a little more than post modern astrology, man. Inherent unpredictability is something of a driving feature in chaotic systems.

You should seriously check out anything with extensive references to Feigenbaum.

Kinda wish that I had.

But yeah, it sounds like so much new age hogwash wrapped up in the thinnest layer of mathematics.

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!

I can beat that, I stopped at "Coast to Coast AM radio", and to be honest I should have stopped at "datajunky".
