The totality of the interaction between the Earth's larger life and the individual and group responses to this greater life define "planet art." In this large process, I dimly perceive the Maya as being the navigators or charters of the waters of galactic synchronization. (37)

If that doesn't quite clear it up for you, Arguelles adds that the Maya are here on Earth "to make sure that the galactic harmonic pattern, not perceivable as yet to our evolutionary position in the galaxy, had been presented and recorded" (73). Well, there you go.

Apparently, the Maya, who are actually from the star Arcturus in the Pleiades cluster, materialized in Mesoamerica a number of times as "galactic agents." They introduced writing and other aspects of civilization to the Olmec as part of some quite vague plan to incorporate humanity into some sort of cosmic club.

Arguelles should be given credit (or, rather, the blame) for being one of the first authors to claim that the end of the Maya cycle of time that began in 3113 BCEthe current baktun-will end on December 21, Arguelles is not one of the doomsayers who claim that the world will come to a catastrophic end on that date, though. Instead, he states that the Maya are on their way back to Earth via "galactic synchronization beams," traveling by way of "chromomolecular transport" (169). The Maya will arrive on December 21, 2012, not to witness the destruction of Earth but to usher in a new age related to, in Arguelles's incomprehensible and utterly meaningless phrasing, the "re-impregnation of the planetary field with the archetypal harmonic experiences of the planetary whole" (170). Of course.

Surprisingly (not), there is no reference to archaeological evidence or any sort of scientific testing for the speculations of Arguelles. There are no insights concerning the Maya and their civilization. The Harmonic Convergence ultimately was little more than a rather silly exercise based not on a scientific understanding of the ancient Maya but on some vague hope that the world will improve if we just wish it would.
