No, but it sounds kind of interesting.  Someone else published an
address from where to order it.  Guess I'll write.

Could be.  But the 11:11 stuff is just a clever way to get people to
stop and (perhaps?) think about themselves and their world.  It's not
actually based upon a complicated system such as the Mayan calander.

The Mayan/Toltec culture itself may no longer be around but their
calander still is, and so its dates and times continue to be played out.
Perception and awareness are the keys to understanding it (imho).

Castaneda's "don Juan" claimed Toltec lineage.  The teachings or lessons
found within Castaneda's books help (imho) to increase both awareness
and perception.  Perhaps there's a connection?  A figure like don Juan
is very powerful.  Ken Eagle Feather has also written a book about his
encounters with don Juan (which occured a few years after Castaneda's).
I spoke with Ken on the phone about his experiences last year.  He
described don Juan as being totally "merged" with the world at large,
yet he (don Juan) was also his own personage and could act independently
if he willed to do so.  He said it was a difficult sight to behold and
that he could not maintain the sight of don Juan for a long period of
time.  Ken's book is thought provoking if anything.

The idea of don Juan being "merged" with the world around him is a
powerful image.  But in one sense, this is true of everyone.  We are all
"merged" with the world about us entirely.  Some say we are connected to
all and everything via "lines of energy" (which also support/create the
very world in which we live).  The problem is in the lack of awareness of
this particular state.  Until enough people wake up to this realization
that THIS Earth is our only home, it will continue to be plundered and
polluted to no end.  Yet, this path of destruction we are on is perhaps
the only way we'll ever come to this "mass" realization.  The destruction
is not by any means over yet.  Too many people are still oblivious.

Linear systems of belief will have to be replaced with circular or
wholeistic ones, ones in which humanity is placed on EQUAL PAR with the
rest of the Earth's living things (and with the Earth itself) and not
above, or superior, or in some condition that gives way to notions that
allow us to turn the Earth into a wasteland while we await pie in the sky.
Nature is NOT at our disposal; human beings are a PART of Nature.  

So perhaps the next 20 years will bring about this change in our collective
consciousness.  We'l definitely need greater "mass" awareness in order to
survive much into the 21st century.
