Review

"Mark Borax has given us a vision of the future that is as hopeful as it is radical. He is proposing nothing less than that we are beginning to heal the cosmic breach from which all our other problems--ecological, political, social, spiritual--originate. In order to get from here to there, we must recover our memory of our Atlantean heritage, whether Atlantic was a real geographical continent or a phase of our consciousness. We must see, lucidly and unambiguously, who we are, where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going."
--Richard Grossinger, author "of Planet Medicine" and "The Bardo of Waking Life"
"Mark Borax's book provides a long-overdue introduction to the work of Ellias Lonsdale, a visionary astrologer who should be as well known as Jane Roberts or Edgar Cayce."
--Rob Brezsny, author of "Pronoia Is the Antidote to Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings"
"This writer's gift for observation allows us to sit in on those sessions at the Santa Cruz mystery school. The story is about a very curious seeker on a quest for love and wisdom that leads us into the big mysteries of the cosmos... The book offers hope, woven into a personal story, about living in this uncertain age. This remarkable book calls for us to claim our soul depths, and to be fully alive here on Earth. It's full of fascinating ideas about past lives, the lost city of Atlantis, and more....
"If you've been overwhelmed by fear and confusion, this book shines light on this dark time. I found resonance in what he said about a great purging, a speeding up of evolution, an influx of energies, [and] a growing awareness of our spirit selves..."
--MollyHall, Astrology Guide, About.com


Product Description

"2012: Crossing the Bridge to the Future" is an engaging personal narrative through the author's apprenticeship with master astrologer William Lonsdale who teaches him how to access a source of great power and creativity buried within the human soul. The book begins in August 1987 on the slopes of Mount Shasta in Northern California as Borax witnesses the Harmonic Convergence, a spiritual and astrological event sparking a 26-year countdown to 2012, the year that marks the "end of history" in the Mayan calendar.Signs indicate that a 'major energy shift' is occurring, a turning point in Earth's collective karma powerful enough to change the global perspective of humankind. Borax's mountaintop experiences compel him to seek solutions to his personal turmoil. He meets Lonsdale and together they launch a mystery school to study how the twenty-five-year period between 1987 and 2012 can be used for a cosmic purging of negativity to release humanity's core forces and restore universal balance. En route, Borax and his fellow students discover truths about life after death, karma, reincarnation, past lives, human evolution, and the purpose of our existence on earth.In the tradition of "The Teachings of Don Juan", Carlos Castaneda's tales of his shamanic master, "2012: Crossing the Bridge to the Future" is a gripping sorcerer's apprentice story driven by mystical forces, encouraging readers to expand their everyday awareness and challenge their fundamental beliefs about their place in the universe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Co-creating the future we want to see...., 28 Sep 2008
By L. A. Mcleod "Lince Lynx" (Andalucia, Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The main thread of Mark Borax's book is the information he and others were privileged to share almost as it was being discovered by his teachers Ellias and Sara Lonsdale. Information on how to become the co-creators of the futures we would rather see. This is revealed through the weaving of the tale of his own very personal journey during this period.
The journey of apprenticeship of one of the foremost and inspiring astrologers of our times. An astrologer who speaks at soul level.

And this is the key to enjoying this book. If speaking at soul level with a vision beyond the individual, and searching for a new and life-giving creation story resonates or is even just of interest, this book is for you.
If your interest is in historically referencing and relevant works, or an analytical approach to prophecy or history, there are plenty of other publications which would suit you better.

For Borax and the Lonsdales (and fortunately many others) the pivotal point of 2012 is an opportunity for us as a species to break out of the entrapment in time-as-linear-experience and to realise that any future that we want to have is something we must take a really active part in co-creating. Our very entrapment in linear time is one of the main challenges to being pro-active in this process.

Over the eons, human beings on a spiritual path have consistently engaged in efforts to transcend, ascend and in any other way possible (evacuation by spaceship included), focus on rising above the experience of human existence. In this book, what is clearly presented is the almost complete lack of human beings consistently and fully engaging, embodying and being 100% present in every magical and sacred moment of earthly life.
The depth and importance of this point is beautifully expanded on and illustrated as the story develops through the book.

It may just be THE point that gets us out of the downward spiralling mess our race is currently creating.

Crossing the Bridge to the Future is about discovering the potential loaded in every moment we spend genuinely present in our lives and actively courting our own destinies.

It has re-activated a life-changing Soul Level Astrology reading I was lucky enough to have with the author which promises to yield insights and epiphanies for many more months and years to come.

I HIGHLY recommend it!

1.0 out of 5 stars No stars for a no-brainer!, 19 Jul 2008
By Mr. R. J. Alexander (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read this book with ever-increasing incredulity, not, I hasten to add, because of any issues to do with the synopsis as can be read above, but wholly to do with the fact that not a single word of that description can be found within the pages of this shallow and ego-driven nonsense. That synopsis is as far from a truthful product description as you will find anywhere. You could not possibly compare the author's vacuous ramblings with Carlos Castaneda. How could you? Borax is an intellectual pygmy who has not obviously read any esoteric material except possibly Rudolph Steiner, and even that is just as a name-drop, as there's certainly nothing more. And to print a huge "2012" in two inch high letters on the front cover is a further absurd exaggeration of the content. That's utterly dishonest.

There are many, many well-researched and certainly far better written books on the subject of 2012, but it becomes plain that our author has not come across a single one of them. If he had, he might well have realised that to join those brave explorers of a new age, you had to come up with some content. And I have to say that I have never, ever come across a book of this genre so utterly lacking in content. I'd rate the content pertaining to the 2012 genre as being about 6%, and that is most certainly nothing to do with any research on the author's part. Even the content relating to the author's actual apparent vocation, that of astrologer is on the most vacuous level.

This book was published in 2008. How can it be, then, that there is not a single reference to John Major Jenkins, who first broke ground with his detailed archeoastronomical studies of the Mayan Calendar, or to Jose Arguelles, with his understanding of Harmonic Convergence (which is, amazingly, actually mentioned in Borax's book!), or to Carl Johan Calleman who understood the Mayan Calendar as a metaphysical map of the evolution of consciousness, or to Barbara Hand Clow, whose interpretation of Calleman's work in "The Mayan Code" should be required reading for anybody remotely curious about the metaphysics of 2012, and who also is an astrologer, but more than that, a shaman, and a seer, which Borax could never aspire to. What about Geoff Stray's labour of love compilation of 2012 end-time information, or Jay Weidner's extraordinary research into the Cross of Henday, or Drunvalo Melchizedek's truly cosmic information, or Lawrence Joseph's scary but optimistic work on the material and scientific issues of our civilisation's demise, Apocalypse 2012.

Borax certainly could not have read Daniel Pinchbek's "2012, the Year of the Mayan Prophesy" because had he done so, he would have recognised it as the definitive benchmark for a first-person memoir, written by a master of his craft, and loaded with enough content to spill out in several directions. In fact, Pinchbeck's book might have stopped him from any absurd attempt to publish his own lack of understanding of most of life's mysteries.

And Atlantis. Our hero is gobsmacked by the concept of Atlantis, but here again, the idea of actually doing any reading and research of his own simply would never occur to him. He's amazed at almost anything, but won't do any more than simply say how blown away he is by everything.

And there are many more researchers who should be required reading as a background to filling in the whole necessary knowledge-base for a better grasp of what we are, where we came from, and where we might be going. Graham Hancock and Ervin Laszlo come to mind, not to mention the Theosophists. The utter conceit of the blurb on the back of Borax's book ("...he was part of the original mystery school that Ellias Lonsdale founded...) Has he any idea at all of what a "mystery school" was in ancient times? Not unexpectantly, there is no bibliography, nor even an index.

The only interesting stuff in the book comes out of the mouth of Lonsdale, his hero and mentor, but it is not at all clear if the author has any clue at all about the great man is talking about. Maybe it's just as well, Borax is not one for insights. The core content of Lonsdale's words I have no problem with. But Borax drowns out the message with his own issues, and with his own facile pop style of writing. Basically Lonsdale should have batted Borax away, and told him to write up his personal diary by all means, but to leave him, Lonsdale out, please. Borax comes across as an emotionally immature, socially backward teenager, but get this: he's actually a grown man, who can't resist any attractive girl who comes into view. Those parts of the book dealing with his love life, or lack of love life, are just plain ridiculous, being somehow inserted into the story which, don't forget, is still to do with 2012. It's the most appalling mishmash of content and banality, this quite obviously deeply insecure person filling pages with the most boring and trite adolescent nonsense.

There is some of the most excruciatingly embarrassing dialogue I have ever seen in print. How could he possibly have allowed the following to appear? On page 40, after his first reading with his hero, the master astrologer, Lonsdale, he is walked out into the lobby of the building, as a "woman with dark hair and piercing eyes looked up from her briefcase":
'Susannah,' Lonsdale said, 'I've just met the most amazing thirty-three year old!'
The dark-haired chiropractor took my hand and stared into me for a long moment, scrutinising the effects of the reading. She looked from me to the astrologer, then back again. 'Wow,' she said. 'Wow.'

I wanted to hurl this rubbish across the room.

And right at the end of the book, I could not actually believe what I was reading:
"I am so grateful to my parents, and have never forgotten my mother saying when I was five years old, 'My son is going to write the Great American Novel.'
Look Mom and Dad - I did it!"

At this point, I felt quite ill.

There appears to be no trace of irony here at all. Also, what novel? This book is a memoir, a self-indulgent personal account of a non-life, and it should never have been made public. No stars for a no-brainer, but the system won't allow it, so one star it'll have to be. Lonsdale can have the star, because I'd say that the master astrologer is the only star in this show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing and eye opening... this book changed my life..., 10 Feb 2009
By L. C. Maloney "afrit" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a fascinating tale that opened my eyes to a new productive and positive way of being. Borax is an enlightened soul looking to bring the teachings of his guru, Elias Lonsdale, to the world in an easily digestible form.

I was disurbed to read Mr Alexander's review below. He was clearly looking for an empirical reference guide to 2012, which Borax's book is not. Instead of focusing on others' research, Borax focuses on his personal journey incorporating the teachings of Elias Lonsdale.

I have read a number of books on the subject of 2012, but this one in particular showed humanity in a new light and gives each of us the power to make change in ourselves in order to usher in this new era. This book is extremely uplifting and empowering. Whether or not you are well versed in the theories on 2012 you will find reading this book to be a powerful experience. This book is about finding yourself on a deeper level in order to raise your consciousness and maybe even trancend time while we are at it... I can easily say that reading this book changed my life.
