Steve welcomes author and Mayan Calendar expert Carl Johan Calleman to Empowered Living for an informative discussion about the Mayan Calendar and 2012. Carl insists that we are living in a time where the greatest changes in human thinking ever to have taken place, one that unifies Western and Eastern thinking. The Mayan Calendar provides a common perspective on the emergence of all human religions, technological advancements as well as schools of thought. As the true meaning of the calendar is solved it becomes clear that we are living in a creation that evolves according to a pre-set schedule, aiming at a completion on October 28, 2011. The basis for a prophetic science is now returning. The prophetic Mayan calendar is not keyed to the movement of planetary bodies. Instead, it functions as a metaphysical map of the evolution of consciousness and records how spiritual time flows - providing a new science of time. Calleman reveals how the Mayan calendar is a spiritual device that enables a greater understanding of the evolution of consciousness driving human history and the concrete steps we can take to align ourselves with this growth toward enlightenment.

The scroll makes the startling claims that the Gnostics were the original followers of Jesus, and that they retained secret knowledge of Jesus that was not included in the Bible. With the help of the ingenious Chloe Eisenberg, a professor of Philosophy and Religion, Jack and Punjeeh navigate the dangerous terrain of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in an attempt to decipher the puzzle of the scroll and bring the Gnostics revelations about Jesus to light. Threaded with the searing realities of today's Middle East, The Gnostic Mystery is packed with historical facts about the Christian religion.
