Author Robert Sitler’s immersion in Mayan culture began with a

transformative spiritual experience more than three decades ago in

the ruins of Palenque, Mexico. Led by a local to a nearby Mayan

village, Sitler discovered firsthand what traditional Mayan life

was like—a community of people living in peace with each other and

their physical surroundings. In The Living Maya, he shares this

experience and many that followed. In the process, he immerses

readers in a rich indigenous culture and offers a fresh view of the

2012 phenomenon, focusing on the valuable less*** Mayan culture can

teach us in this time of transition. Personal anecdotes are

interwoven with factual information about the roots of traditional

Mayan customs and traditi***, presenting a rare multifaceted view

of their *** yet profound way of life. The book showcases Mayan

infant care, community building, ties to nature, attitudes toward

the elderly, and orientation to spirituality. In The Living Maya,

Sitler shows how following “the Mayan way” can help us ground our

lives in harmony with nature, broaden our perspectives on human

existence, connect us with our capacity for compassion, and use the

vaunted cataclysm of 2012 as a unique chance for growth.

“Thoughtful with plenty to add to the debate, The Living

Maya is a top pick for additi*** to metaphysics

collecti***.”

—Midwest Book Review

"In The Living Maya, Sitler shows how following “the Mayan

way” can help us ground our lives in harmony with nature, broaden

our perspectives on human existence, connect us with our capacity

for compassion, and use the vaunted cataclysm of 2012 as a unique

chance for growth."

—Spirit Village Review

“With the publication of Robert Sitler's book, The Living

Maya, the 2012 phenomenon finally has a piece of li***ture

that authentically reflects the Maya and their

millenarian effort to align themselves to an ever changing

cosmos. Sitler grounds the 2012 phenomenon in the realities of the

Mayan world in a sobering yet passionate interpretation of

what the monumental meaning of the 2012 might mean for

humanity and for the Maya themselves.”

—Vincent Stanzione, ethnographer and author of Rituals

of Sacrifice: Walking the Face of the Earth on the Sacred Path

of the Sun, The Sacred Count of Days, and Mayan Gods

and Goddesses

“This lucid book by a long-time scholar of the Mayan people

provides the reade***ith a rich cultural context against which

to weigh the deeper significance of the 2012 phenomenon.

Robert Sitler’s approach is balanced, informed, heartfelt, and

profoundly respectful of the wisdom of Mayan

traditi***.”

—Phillip Lucas, PhD, founding editor of Nova Religio: The

Journal of Alternative and Emergent Religi***; professor of

religious studies, Stetson University, DeLand, Florida; and author

of

New Religious Movements in the Twenty-First Century: Legal,

Political, and Social Challenges in Global Perspective

“Robert Sitler faithfully promotes the values of our millennial

Mayan culture and the other indigenous original cultures of Abya

Yala (the Americas). He has visited my home in Momostenango,

Guatemala. He has a great spirit and sincere love and respect for

Mayan culture.”

—Rigoberto Itzep Chachavac, Ajq’ij K’iche’ (K’iche’

spiritual guide), founder of the Misión Maya Waqxaqib’ B’atz,

Momostenango, Totonicapán, Guatemala, and author of Ri Ajq’ij

“Robert Sitler, anguished by our destruction of the environment and

civil life, opens The Living Maya with an ***ysis of the

prophecies and predicti*** around 2012. The very people, who had

the astronomical genius to base a calendar on the coming alignment

in the rift of the Milky Way, transmit through thei***ay of life,

the seeds for our desperately needed personal and cultural

transformation. Sitler documents the values and relati***hips that

sustain the Maya and that can sustain us. We walk the ‘road’ with

him so we also might live in vital relati***hip with the earth, be

in true and vibrant community with each other, birth and raise

skillful and wise children, and be guided again by the great hearts

of the spirits.”

—Deena Metzger, author of Writing for Your Life; Ruin and

Beauty: New and Selected Poems; Tree: Essays and Pieces; and

Entering the Ghost River: Meditati*** on the Theory and Practice

of Healing

“The Living Maya is a remarkable exploration of the

significance of 2012 that is both introspective and open-minded, by

a schola***ho has, unlike most authors on the subject, spent

c***iderable time among the modern Maya.… The book describes the

profoundly practical worldview of the Maya, which has enabled them

to survive war and catastrophe and may contain the wisdom we need

to survive as a species.”

—Matthew Looper, PhD, professor of art, California State

University, Chico

“This extraordinary narrative, told by a schola***ith many years of

experience among the Mayan people, is a path of heart into their

worlds, both ancient and modern. At a time when the global New Age

and academic communities are stalemated in disagreement ove***hat

significance lies in the upcoming December 21, 2012 date, this book

steps gently and boldly into that radical middle ground and informs

us of the living Mayas’ message to us. Anyone who acknowledges that

our crumbling family cohesiveness and fast-paced urban lifestyles

are toxic and alienating should pay attention to this message. It

doesn't come from other planets or galaxies, or from some other

dimension, nor even from some esoteric mysteries that the ancient

priests possessed. It arises from the Maya who have had—in spite of

conquest and oppression—many generati*** of connectedness to their

land and their sacred shrines. It arises from their ritual

observances, their daily rounds which honor the ancestors, the

newborn babies and the family, the rains and winds, and the

newly-planted seeds. It is another universe of human potential, but

one which, if we pay attention, helps us to listen to our own

heartbeat.”
