In this compelling exploration of life, Gregg Braden merges the modern discoveries of nature's patterns (fractals) with the ancient view of a cyclic universe. The result is a powerful model of time--fractal time--and a realistic window into what we can expect for the mysterious year 2012 . . . and beyond.

Applying fractal time to the history of the world and life, he proposes that everything from the war and peace between nations to the patterns of human relationships mirror the returning cycles of our past. As each cycle repeats, it carries a more powerful, amplified version of itself.

The key: If you know where to look in the past,you know what to expect when the same conditions return in the present and future. For the first time in print, the Time Code Calculator gives you the toolto do just that! 

Through easy-to-understand science and step-by-step instructions, discover for yourself:

* How the conditions for 2012 have occurred in the past, and what we can expect when they repeat!
* The "hot dates" that hold the greatest threats of war and greatest opportunities for peace, as well as economic cycles such as the stockmarket collapse of 2008!
* How Earth's location in space triggers cycles of spiritual growth for humans!
* Your personal Time Codes for the key events of business, relationships, and change in your life!
* How each cycle carries a window of opportunity--a choice point--that allows us to select a new outcome for the returning pattern!
* What the 1999 ice cores from Antarctica reveal about past cycles of climate, global warming, Earth's protective magnetic fields, and what these things mean for us today!
