BOOK REVIEW DIETRICH BROERS: WHY HUMANITY FACES AN EVOLUTIONARY LEAP *
(r)evolution 2012 In a number of very well-documented chapters, the author deals with the changes in the activity of the sun, the rapid shift of the magnetic north pole, the decrease of the protective Van Allen belt around the earth, the Schumann resonance, the link of man with the cosmos, the ‘timeless tissue of time’ and man as ‘cosmic dreamer’.
I
t has been shown that the activity of the sun changes the electromagnetic field of the earth. In 2012, the increased activity of the sun will reach its peak. Scientists expect worldwide natural disasters like earthquakes, floods and power cuts in 2012. The author sees quite different results. Certain electromagnetic fields have a demonstrable effect on the brain. The performance of the brain, 90% of which is not used efficiently by the way, improves by exposure to specific fields or frequencies. The activity of the sun affects the neurophysiological and biological aspects of the brain, right down to specific diseases. Brief fluctuations of the geomagnetic field cause significantly more depressions and strokes, but also telepathic powers and enhanced creativity, expressed by top musical and literary performances. Our solar system travels between and through the constellations and, in our time, approaches a special field of influence of the galactic centre. This will be accompanied by extreme

radiations, unknown before. This is visible in climate change, the economy and the psyche. 2012 remains the critical point. Then both a peak in the activities of the sun is reached as well as the critical point of cosmic radiation. We may powerlessly surrender to it or become aware that we are standing on the threshold of a tremendous process of transformation and prepare for it – fearlessly and without hysteria. This requires intuition, because with our mind alone, this will not succeed. According to Broers, the events of 2012 will cause an evolutionary leap that will mean a new form of both consciousness and society. A NEW VISION OF THE EARTH The principle of life is change. Change will often occur in leaps. With the most modern scientific methods, it was possible to discover the amazing exactness of the Mayan calendar: the periodicity of the sunspots corresponds completely to the periods referred to in the Mayan calendar.
