Crossing
over the Bridge
CROSSING OVER THE BRIDGE provides the force and dynamic
to bring people together head-to-head, body-to-body and heart-to-heart from both sides of the universal gate. The ever evolving
conscious human being now becomes inspired to realize the full potential of their world through reaching for that higher dimension;
a higher level of consciousness and awareness for the connection to our world and nature. They are to come together now in
acknowledging the fear of those left behind in chaotic circumstances grabbing hold in the final moments for a system hinged
upon monetary gain and out dated principles that have now run there full course in the time line of history. This paradigm
developed through communicative desires and the real integrity of media now brings the darkness to the light through forgiveness,
understanding and a mirror to the hearts of all humankind walking this dimension and beyond. The programs through radio, television
and face-to-face open disclosure allows all humans to complete the process of ascension; an evolutionary step available for
those ready to surrender old age notions that have been induced by the conditioning of countless generations trapped in confusion
of real sovereignty and lives driven not by heart but of predatory greed.
"Every single person on this planet and beyond
be they carpenter, farmer, teacher, artist, writer, traveler or leader in community, now unknowingly or perhaps consciously
- fast approaches one point - one place - one plane and one true love. Each with the right to synchrony and harmony - sharing
the common journey to a converging wye in the road of history - creating in unison the world we all now know awaits us in
becoming whole in universal destiny. In the event that this will no doubt succeed for future generations, I seek to devote
heart and soul towards leaving a historic record of the greatest feat that is now manifesting for mankind and complete universal
alignment." David William Gibbons - Los Angeles, California October 2010.
James
Redfield
James Redfield was 43 when he published The
Celestine Prophecy. He has been keenly interested in human spirituality all of his life. Born on March 19, 1950, he grew
up in a rural area near Birmingham, Alabama. From an early age, he was motivated by a need for clarity about spiritual matters.
Brought up in a Methodist Church that was loving and community-oriented, he was nevertheless frustrated by a lack of answers
to his questions about the true nature of spiritual experience.
As a young man, he studied Eastern philosophies, including Taoism
and Zen, while majoring in sociology at Auburn University.
Biography
He later
received a Master's degree in counseling and spent more than 15 years as a therapist to abused adolescents. During this time,
he was drawn into the human potential movement and turned to it for theories about intuitions and psychic phenomena that
would help his troubled clients. All along, Redfield was forming ideas that would eventually find their way into The
Celestine Prophecy. In 1989, he quit his job as a therapist to write full-time, synthesizing his interest in interactive
psychology, Eastern and Western philosophies, science, futurism, ecology, and history.
Using an adventure parable
approach that has been called "part Indiana Jones, part Scott Peck," The Celestine Prophecy created a model for spiritual perception and actualization that
resonated with millions of people and focused on the mysterious coincidences that occur in each of our lives. Disdaining
the spotlight himself, Redfield proclaimed in The Celestine Prophecy that each of us must intuit his own spiritual
destiny.
As he
writes in The Celestine Vision, his non-fiction title published in 1997, "The actual writing of The Celestine Prophecy
occurred from January 1989 through April 1991 and was characterized by a sort of trial-and-error process. Quite amazingly,
as I remembered earlier experiences and wrote about them, lacing them into an adventure tale, striking coincidences would
occur to emphasize the particular points I wanted to make. Books would show up mysteriously, or I would have timely encounters
with the exact sort of individuals I was attempting to describe. Sometimes strangers would open up to me for no apparent
reason and tell me about their spiritual experiences."
After
the self-published book was brought to the attention of Warner Books through a perceptive sales rep, Warner Books bought
the rights and published the hard cover edition in March 1994. The book quickly climbed to the #1 position on the New York Times
bestsellers list. It remained on that list for more than three years, joined by The
Tenth Insight, which built upon the Nine Insights revealed in the
first novel. The two books spent a combined 74 weeks on the New
York Times list, making James Redfield the best-selling hard cover
author in the world in 1996, as cited in BP Report (January 1997).
In October
1997, James Redfield was awarded the highly prestigious Medal of the Presidency of the Italian Senate at the XXIII Pio Manzu
International Conference in Rimini, Italy. Pio Manzu is a nongovernmental arm of the United Nations headed up by Mikhail
Gorbachev.

In
the spring of 2000, James joined Millard Fuller, founder of Habitat For Humanity, as the only two recipients of Humanitarian
of the Year honors from their alma mater, Auburn University. Two months later, he was honored by the International New Thought
Alliance with another Humanitarian of the Year award.
The Celestine series of adventure parables continued in 1999 with the publication of The
Secret of Shambhala: In Search of the Eleventh Insight (Warner
Books). Set in modern day Tibet, Redfield continued the inspiring journey of The
Celestine Prophecy and The
Tenth Insight—carrying readers to a new adventure in a sacred
place where truths that can affect all of humanity await. In 2002, James joined author Michael Murphy and filmmaker Sylvia
Timbers in a collaborative work entitled God and the Evolving Universe (J.P. Tarcher).
In March 2004, James Redfield was honored by the Wisdom Media Group with the World View Award for engaging the discussion
on the nature of human existence and for his ongoing efforts and contributions to the bettering of humanity.
The
fourth and final book in the Celestine series, The Twelfth
Insight: The Hour of Decision, was published by Grand
Central Publishing (formerly Warner books) in February, 2011.

Carl Johan Calleman P.h.D - Scholar & Researcher 'The Mayan Calendar'
Biography
Carl Johan Calleman was born in Stockholm, Sweden at
noon May 15, 1950, which in the Sacred Calendar corresponds to the day 5 Jaguar. Curiously this is also the exact midpoint
of the month dedicated to the Roman goddess Maia. Stockholm is fairly remote from the jungles of Guatemala, but these were
some signs that maybe he had something to do there (although of course I was only appreciate the importance of these signs
at a much later point). He first became interested in the Maya and their calendar during a trip to Mexico and Guatemala in
1979. He fell in love with this people, and also had a feeling that this was my spiritual home on earth. Somehow it seemed
that the purpose of his life was linked to this people and their calendar, that he had become fascinated by. This was long
before the Mayan calendar had become a matter of widespread and as he read in Michael Coe’s book about the Maya that
their calendar would come to an end in the year 2011 it sparked a deep wonder in him. ”Why would a calendar end?”
he asked himself although 2011 then seemed a long time into the future.
The Mayan Calendar
I was then a graduate student in toxicology at the University of Stockholm and the idea of an end
of ”time” was certainly not something that had been part of my education. I started to wonder if there indeed
existed a higher purpose to life and felt that the native cultures of Mexico was pointing me in that direction.
Nonetheless, it took me a few more years
until I started noticing that there was a steady stream of synchronicities guiding me to do explore this culture more deeply.
In 1986 I took up work at the Department of Environmental Health at the University of Washington in Seattle, which brought
me closer to the Mayan area with possibilities of frequent visits to their area. More importantly, through the experience
of the Harmonic Convergence I realized that I was not the only one to believe that there was a truth to the Mayan calendar.
Nonetheless, most of my energy was put into my professional life as a cancer researcher, where I focused on developing means
for identifying toxic substances in the environment and especially such that could be cancer causing. Research that I performed
in China came to have wide ranging consequences and I was among other things asked to serve as an expert for the branch of
the World Health Organization that focuses on cancer.
My parallel interest in the Mayan calendar was however growing stronger and as I returned to Sweden
from the United States in 1993, I decided to start working full time to solve these age old thought structures and to understand
what they were really all about. After twenty years in the laboratory this was obviously not the best way of having job security,
but it seemed to me that it would be of greater value to humanity if I could solve the Mayan calendar than if I could solve
the riddle of cancer. Given my scientific background I then set out to find proofs of real events that matched the energy
shifts of this calendar. Hence, my approach became different from the more newagy students who approached the calendar through
channeling information. My first inroad to some tangible link with the Mayan calendar was really provided by my knowledge
of Swedish history, which turned out to match certain baktun shifts extremely well. I then self-published a short book in
Swedish, Mayahypotesen (1994), which already discussed the importance of the upcoming Venus Transits that I had been called
to bring to the world at Orcas Island a few years earlier.
Following these first real observations I studied vaster and vaster areas of cosmic life that was
found to fit into the framework of the Mayan calendar and I spent a few years, 1993-1996, essentially researching all fields
of science from its perspective. This was a very exciting and intellectually stimulating time when one thing would lead to
another at a very high pace and it was probably the most creative time in my life. Yet, I could not find a publisher for my
initial manuscript, the Theory of Everything, that summarized all my findings and it has been on my shelf ever since providing
myself with the source material for my later books.
Meanwhile, I started to lecture and publish articles in a number of languages about the Mayan calendar
essentially only in Sweden and some other Nordic countries. In 1998 Hunbatz Men invited me to be one of the main speakers
at a conference about the Mayan calendar in Merida, Yucatan, and the ceremonies and a trip into Honduras inspired me to start
writing a new, more widely accessible book, The Mayan calendar, as I got back, which was eventually published by Garev in
2001.
Having completed this book my
interest in Eastern philosophies increased and I went to Golden City in India to see Sri Bhagavan the first time in the year
2002. In 2004 Bear and Co published a new book, The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness just in the nick
of time for the Oneness Celebration, June 6-8, 2004 which was the first celebration in a very long time that based on the
traditional Mayan calendar brought together a world wide participation of spiritual people seeking a deeper guidance into
the time ahead.
Following this I began lecturing
and having courses on a larger international scale, especially as the book wasw now being translated to several other languages,
and by now I have visited some twenty countries with my message. Recently, I filmed some interviews with Don Alejandro Oxlaj,
head of the council of elders of the Maya, together with a team in India and I can see a wider unity and consensus coming
about based on the true Mayan calendar than has been the case previously. I still live in Orsa, Sweden, at the edge of the
wilderness, but I never seem to know where I will be called next.
