According to Hwee-Yong Jang, the world as we know it will undergo a profound transformation. Are you ready? As part of a grand cosmic plan called the Gaia Project, the earth is already undergoing a purification process―marked by natural disasters, disease, war, and social chaos―that will ultimately end in our planet's ascension to a new dimension. Jang's prophetic proclamation―communicated to him through channeling, dreams, and energy reading―explains countless mysteries about the world, This visionary text reveals how each of us can prepare for the coming "Great Change" and take part in the universal expansion of consciousness. Along with a thorough description of the purpose of the Gaia Project, this field guide to the future includes a question and answer section, recommended reading list, and glossary to provide additional insight into the unprecedented challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
For the most part the information itself is not really the problem with this book.
I didn't like the writing style. I found it mostly disjoint and boring... and there was no love nor joy pouring out from the pages. The main problem however lies in the author exaggerated confidence in the magnificence of his own book. With all the other books and resources about the subject that exist, the author seems to think that he is the first one to write about this stuff. He suggests that we read and read it again to really "grasp" the meaning of its content...
I also don't like the fact that there is "2012" in the book title...makes the whole topic of Earth transformation (which is very real and happening now) looks like a science fiction novel.
This is a very interesting view of the world and the spiritual realm. A lot of it makes sense and then some points of view seem a bit too much to even conceive as being reality on any level. All in all, another great book I feel everyone should read. Especially these religious fanatics. It's one thing to be religious, it's a totally different story when you start sounding like you've joined a cult. Then you just become scary and start sounding crazy!
So with that said... if you believe in the Almighty and you don't believe in other life forms in the universe, then... you probably need to go sit in a corner and have a conversation with yourself about why you're so closed minded.
This one was initially on my list partially because it's just a fascinating prospect and partially because of Shatterpath's stories based off the Shadowrun RPG games. I'm curious to see what will happen with 2012... But I have stopped with this book. It was utterly crap; I couldn't even get past the initial introductory chapters. I'm listing it as read, but it's not completed and never will be. I don't even want it in my library anymore.
This is an amazing book. It answers a lot of the questions that are in our heads but also leaves us with more questions which we need to find the answers too based on our own understand and world view. You have to dig deeper and get more answers. Most people who are too stuck in their material self and belief system will fear this book s message. But if you are open to possibilities then this book is your bible!
Do you believe that the recent Earth changes are nothing? You may change your mind after reading Hwee-Yong Jang's latest book. He asserts that the Earth is a special planet of learning that was conceived and carried out by "Beings of Origin" who named this experiment The Gaia Project. If you are familiar with New Age material you will not be surprised by chapters that include the history of the Earth (emphasis on Lemuria and Atlantis), reincarnation, karma and the workings of the human body. These are well done but written for someone who has not been exposed to this kind of material. What is quite shocking is the revelations about the predetermined Earth Changes which began in 2005 whose purpose are to basically end the Earth/Gaia experiment. This involves purification of the Earth through massive crust movements, chaos, war, disease, ending with the collapse of the material world as we know it in 2009. Shocking and scary stuff, but Jang puts his spin on the information by saying that the purpose of his book is to let the "awakened" know that this is the last big bang that on a soul level they signed up for. Anyone here now chose to be here to experience this ending to ulitmately increase at an unprecedented rate soul evolution. Does it speak to you? Read it and find out.
The novel presents some interesting ideas but I think the major fault of this book is the abstract translations of Jang. It would have been a much more profound book if it was presented with a correlation with mythology, philosophy, archeology, etc as masters like Joseph Campbell did in his works. To make bold statements and present far reaching or new age ideas without providing where Jang gets his ideas, visions, or predictions brings the book down a road that makes you feel not curious, inspired or hopeful, but rather it makes you feel uncomfortable. You start to ask why he says certain things and where it's all coming from. I took from this what I needed for my own research and workings on the Gaia principle and I was done with it in a few days. I wouldn't recommend buying it but if you are curious about the subject, perhaps your public library may carry a copy and you can save yourself some money.
Strange. Actually, I was avidly devouring this book until about a third of the way through, when I reminded myself that it wasn't actually a science fiction novel, but was being portrayed as truth. It makes neat fiction, and it does pose some thought-provoking ideas (who doesn't love to read about Atlantis?)but that's as far as I'm willing to go. The author goes pretty far out on a limb, asserting that this book is all the truth that anyone will ever need in the coming years. He wrote it in a kind of trance, while at the keyboard - revelation just pouring through him from another plane, which, gee, call me crazy, doesn't carry much in the way of credibility. Also, spaceships are waiting to take us to the next dimension after we die, because the spiritual world has been closed. Just a heads up, everyone.
A lot of fluff and "new agey" bull, another author cashing in on the 2012 hype. Better to read it as a sci-fi then as it's intended, a "non fiction" - but even better to not read it at all. A lot is happening in our world as a result of human actions, not any "spiritual forces" but I think people that enjoy believing in things with no evidence/logic to them, or make belief worlds presented as truth, they might love this one.
Even if I am hating how a book is turning out I still feel compelled to finish it. For this book, I felt like my eyes were burning. This book is RIDICULOUS. Ancient Aliens has more credibility than this! I laughed at how silly some parts sounded. Don't read this book. If you were in the middle of nowhere, had this book, and needed to start a fire, don't use dead leaves/branches/twigs. Use this book.
Llewellyn's brand new The Gaia Project 2012: The Earth's Coming Great Changes by Hwee-Yong Jang, is a charmingly inept translation -- from the Korean -- of a nuts-and-bolts primer on how the universe works (hint: not how you think).
Not what I was expecting really. Seemed like a rehash of tired theories, ideas, myths and new age philosophies from the mind of the author with 'facts' presented that lack any evidence and too many vague references, like a friend telling you about 'something they heard somewhere'. Thought it was a little patronising at times too. Would work well as a premise for fiction.
There were times when I asked myself "Why are you reading this book?" But even though Mr. Jang goes "pretty far out there" (tinfoil).. he also has some pretty interesting insights and theories. You'll just have to read this one and decide for yourself
Odd and mildly entertaining content. It's more Sci-fi then anything else. It was interesting enough that I actually finished it. I'm considering it fiction from the mind of a creative person.
