Carl Johan Calleman, (born May 15, 1950, Stockholm, Sweden), is a toxicologist as well as an author and speaker on the millenarian New Age interpretation of the Mayan calendar known as Mayanism. He differs from professional Mayanists in seeing 28 October 2011 and not 21 December 2012 as a significant date. Calleman does not interpret the date as an apocalypse, Armageddon, or other cataclysmic event but a slow transformation of consciousness in which people experience a higher "unity consciousness."〔(Mexico attracts tourists due to predictions of the end of the world ) EN Trip, Delo.si , 13.07.2011 (Slovenian)〕 ==Life== Calleman studied toxicology at the University of Stockholm in Sweden. 〔(Carl Johan Calleman ) Personal Biography, July 18, 2006〕 He has had no professional training in archaeology or the study of the ancient Maya. He first encountered the Mayan calendar on a visit to Mexico and Guatemala in 1979. He became fascinated with the concept of a calendar that had an "end date" and was influenced by the works of Michael D. Coe.〔 In 1986 he took a post at the Department of Environmental Health at the University of Washington in Seattle as a cancer researcher. As a result of work done in that post and in China he was appointed as an expert for the World Health Organization on cancer.〔 In 1993 he returned to Sweden and devoted himself full-time to researching and writing about the calendar. He published a short book in Swedish on the subject in 1994, ''Mayahypotesen''. In 1998 he was invited to be one of the main speakers at a conference about the Mayan calendar in Mérida, Yucatán. This inspired him to write a more widely accessible book, ''The Mayan Calendar'' published in 2001. A second popular book ''The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness'' followed in 2004, and a third ''Purposeful Universe: How Quantum Theory and Mayan Cosmology Explain the Origin and Evolution of Life '' in 2009.〔 He lives in Orsa, Sweden and lectures worldwide.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl Johan Calleman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
