The Orion Prophecy: Will the World Be Destroyed in 2012? [Paperback]

The Book Description states as fact that the world will end in 2012 according to Mayan and Egyptian "prophecy." It goes on to discuss Atlanteans as if everyone agreed they existed. Oh. And it describes Venus as a star.

Nowhere is there any sort of caveat such as "the book alleges" or "according to the authors."

I have no problem with people buying and reading this fatuous tripe. It is our right. I wouldn't really care if a customer review clearly took pseudoscience as a given. However, this does not constitute a "Book Description." And, no, given that some of us have an ongoing tendency to gullibility it isn't enough to say, "Well, that's implied."

I have no doubt that 0 out of 3,000 people will fail to find this review helpful. I don't particularly care so you needn't feel so satisfied when you click on that button.

Imagine for a moment that you had your life neatly compartmentalized, planned out to achieve your greatest goals for an enjoyable and secure future, when suddenly you came across information that suggested that you would never enjoy the benefit of a comfortable future!!! This is exactly what happened to author Patrick Geryl, which prompted him to write the book "The Orion Prophecy."

Together with archeo-astronomer Gino Ratinckx, Geryl gives a sequential account of their joint research into the predictions and prophecies of the Maya and Ancient Egyptians, both highly advanced scientific civilisations with phenomenal mathematical knowledges. The book leads us through the evidences of what the Maya believed was the end of existence, because their calendar abruptly ends in the year 2012...

This account of the authors' research is supported by facts pertaining to the super-knowledges held by the Ancient Egyptians through the centuries. These super-knowledges are believed to be the historical knowledge of the survivors of the Atlantean civilisation that was destroyed by the last major shift and reversal of the polarity in the magnetic field of the earth some 12,000 years ago.

If you are at all interested in the sciences of geology, astronomy, engineering, physics, or even metaphysics, or even an interested layperson, then this book is a must read. Be prepared, though to have your mind broadened by the facts that support the authors' belief of the forthcoming cataclysm that will end the current civilisation in 2012...

The evidence tabled here enhances that appearing in the books The Mayan Prophecies, The Orion Mystery, The Fingerprints of the Gods, When the Sky Fell, The Path of the Pole, Fountains of the Great Deep, Serpent in the Sky, Keeper of Genesis, et al.

Without a doubt, this book has re-affirmed my personal belief of an impending cataclysm ... one that will be difficult to survive without heeding the warnings of the Ancients....

In defense of Patrick Geryl, some of the other reviewers of his book, The Orion Prophecy, are critical not only of his book but of his personal character too. They accuse him of trying to profit and to gain notoriety from his thesis, or of being megalomaniacal or self-centered. I don't believe this to be the case at all. Some of this reaction could be in response to the shocking conclusion that Patrick has come to: his research has uncovered many ancient hidden messages that forebode the complete destruction of the world in 2012 due to crustal pole shift. When a person takes a stand to defend a controversial topic, he or she is liable to draw extreme criticism. The messenger can be confused with the message. The curious thing is that if his thesis turns out to be true, he will be associated as a harbinger of death. Pioneers must take a lot of flack from the very people they are trying to liberate. Because of our investments in our homes, families, and statuses, if his thesis turned out to be true it would result in a lot of pain, changes, and tumult. Because it is by no means an easy path, one can see that it would not be one to choose if it were simply for fame or fortune.

My take on Patrick is that he is a sincere researcher who is laying it all on the line for what he has discovered. There are no throngs cheering him on. There are no scientists giving him awards. He is courageously getting the word out in the best way he knows how. He needs the support of others, for if his discoveries turn out to be true, we are headed toward astonishing times!!!! If his warnings are heeded, some might survive to live to see the dawning of a new phase of human existence. Why not do some preparation anyway? After all, another 911 or Katrina or Seattle power outage are realities we must deal with and they are here now. If you read his book and decide to heed his message and it turns out to be true, you will thank him on behalf of your family and loved ones. If you disagree with him, you will have entertained some new ideas and been stimulated in thinking. Why not live and let live and allow others to express their ideas?

One more thing: there is a sinister possibility that we have been conditioned like in The Matrix to be critical and doubtful of certain messages even though these messages could liberate us. Could a fear-based reaction to this author's work be a result of our having been subliminally programmed to shutdown the very information that could free us? There are at least two precedents for this situation: one was that of a man who got the idea to build a boat in his backyard because he had a dream that the water level was going to rise; another was a man who was warned that the city he lived in was going to be leveled. The latter pleaded to spare the city if he could find ten righteous people, but found none. Things were so perverted in the inner city that men came to his door to have sex with his daughters. When he came up out of the city, his wife could not separate herself from the allures of her home and despite being warned not to, she turned to look as the city was razed and she was turned into a pillar of salt by the ground zero blast. Her husband pleaded to not have to take refuge in the mountains because it was one of the things he was the most afraid of. You recognize the men to be Noah and Lot. They were dealing with the same dynamics we are dealing with now.

I have been researching anomalous phenomena since the 1970s. The axis of the Earth has tilted and the Earth is wobbling. The Magnetic North Pole has been moving around. Solar flares are increasing far beyond previous levels. The evidences appear to be favoring the possibility that Patrick could be correct.
