Surfers of the Zuvuya: Tales of Interdimensional Travel

This is probably Arguelles' most accessible book. It is a delightful read, but deceptively dense with information. I would say that you should start with this book before reading any of his other books. As an example of how to surf the imaginal world it is in a category of its own. Very highly recommended.

easy read (you'll still be rereading it in your subconscious, in your future dreams, etc). cantankerous skeptics, this is fiber your bowels can't handle. laugh and hang ten. :)

I don't understand why someone would buy a book explicitly claiming to be about a Jive-Talking Dimensional-Double and end up disappointed that it wasn't an academic tretise on native tradition. Jose's ability to bring the magic of Maya to diverse audiences is unrivaled. The message of the Maya is not reserved only for those willing to digest volumes of stodgy punditry, or obscure antropological reporting. The appeal and truth of Surfers of the Zuvuya comes from the basic premise that only by attuning to our intuitive, dream-centered selves will we fully appreciate the wonder of the time we experience. Personally, when it comes to the Maya, i love the stodgy punditry and academic tretises, but i also love the inspired artistic visions. I find it beautiful that a former Princeton Professor would publish such an unorthodox, personal book, which would without doubt marginalize him in the eyes of his peers, out of the simple conviction that other similar dream-inspired souls might draw value and solace from it. The frustrated idea that all things Mayan must be approached with a lack of humor and imagination most assuredly has nothing to do with the authentic Mayan perspective, but rather the intellectual conditioning of an imperial culture which takes everything, especially itself, way too seriously. THANK YOU UNCLE JOSE FOR NEVER BEING AFRAID TO STEP OUT OF LINE, FOR NEVER BEING AFRAID TO BE LAUGHED AT, AND FOR THE EXAMPLE OF FEARLESSNESS & CONVICTION YOU HAVE BEEN TO ALL US DREAMERS!!!

This is one of my favorite books, and also one of those books that had a very deep and spiritual influence on my life. How I came across it was very cosmic indeed. Someone who I met on a trip to Guatemala recommended it to me. This is a good starter for those who want to know what the Mayans were all about. It's written in a science FICTION(??) format so very easy to follow and really interesting to read. Whether or not you believe the Mayans came from outer space, it makes an interesting read since it's fiction(??). BTW, I recently started to integrate the Mayan calender into my life and my life is fulfilling as ever. enjoy

This book helps the reader to learn about expaning one's sense of the Universe... you will go along with uncle Joe Zuvuya as he shows how to open your mind to the REAL possibilites of existence. Time and space collide in this fun to read novel. I loved it... it made me think, and it was a very enjoyable story. It is a must for anyone looking to embrace the collective conscousness that is quickly ushering us into a new age.
