Last night, Judy and I went to see Jose Arguelles speak and sign books at The Bodhi Tree in West Los Angeles. Events that are truly incredible, you can count on one hand. This was one.  Jose Arguelles initiated and announced the Harmonic Convergence which occurred on August 16 & 17, 1987. His book THE MAYAN FACTOR was a breakthrough in understanding the incredible gift which the Mayans left for mankind.

Last night, he spoke, he teared up as he prayed as he scanned the crowd looking at each person’s energy during  two minutes of profound silence that unified the air in the small room like a group of cloistered friends who shared an event as it unfolded by the second. It was later, at the end of his talk when I realized what had just taken place, that I was moved to tears. Over the last two years, I have developed the ability to see auras, if I relax and put myself in the right aspect. Last night, I saw Jose Arguelles. I have never seen an aura like his. He radiated a Christ aura out nearly two feet from his head that was like the corona of the sun during a solar eclipse. It was profound. I saw his radiating aura three times for about 15- 30 seconds each time during his talk. He is a truly remarkable human being sent here with an important message. The message is love. Be tuned into the natural time of the universe, not the artificial time created by man with his machines and computers and electronic devices. Listen to the natural world, the natural pulse of the universe. It is Mayan. It is a great gift.

His partner Stephanie South spoke about her newly released book about the Jose’s life called 2012 BIOGRAPHY OF A TIME TRAVELER.

The ninety minutes (90) was an experience like none I have ever had. Jose Arguelles is a remarkble human being who walks among us with a gentle step. His humility and passion are real gifts to us.  I am grateful to have had those few minutes with him.  Judy and I spoke with him and Stephanie afterwords.

The book signing at Fort Hood, Texas could not have gone better. 100 copies of my novel The Ascendancy sold out in 8 hours! I talked to everyone, personalized the message, and shook hands. Gary Taylor and Judy were a huge help during the selling of the books. They handed out catchy bookmarks, while they spoke with people.

The book signing was beyond what I imagined would happen. The message of courage, love, and compassion contained in the novel The Ascendancy itself is what unfolded during the book signings. I spoke with a soldier who was leaving for Iraq in four days, another who was leaving his family in January for his third tour of duty, women whose husbands were either in Iraq or Afghanistan, husbands whose wives were there now, soldiers who had their children with them, a woman who had lost her father in 9-11; he was in one of the towers when it collapsed and was buried. He lived, but died eleven months ago of Black Lung disease, a soldier who was going to propose to his girlfriend tomorrow when he arrived in Iraq, where she was stationed. He was joining her division. Even the wife of one of the generals of Fort Hood purchased a book to give to her husband as a Christmas present. The interactions were remarkable.

Almost everyone whom we spoke with loved The Ascendancy, its story and concept. They were drawn to the cover. Almost everyone loved the idea of the beanstalk sprouting out of the debris, three days after 9-11.

The soldiers and their families showed such an incredible selflessness in their duty over their personal lives. I was greatly moved. I am really looking forward to these book signings. It will be a good 2009 for us, not just in terms of book sales, but I know now that The Ascendancy is striking a deep cord in people. I travel on Thursday, December 11 to San Antonio, where I will sign books at three bases: Fort Sam Houston, Randolph AFB, Lackland AFB on December 12th & 13th.

Judy and I stayed with close friends in the Killeen area, Gary Taylor & Steve Butler and Cathy Oldham.

After the signings in San Antonio, between January and June of 2009, there will be Ascendancy book signings in Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., and bases along the East Coast, then San Diego, Arizona, the Northwest and maybe midwest areas. The number of The Ascendancy book sales will rise dramatically. That’s what we wanted.
