The D-Spot: Eric Rankin-The Aquarian Age

Eric Rankin grew up in the yachting industry in Southern California. Drawing from his experience as a licensed boat captain, stunt-boat operator for television and film, SCUBA diver and freelance writer, Eric creates a lush and scenic backdrop for his first novel "The Aquarians." Eric has also traveled the world swimming with dolphins and exploring Mayan ruins. These experiences led him on a path that directed his attention to the end of the Mayan calendar in the year 2012 - a moment in time that seems to be serving as a spiritual wake-up call to all humanity.

To some people, the Age of Aquarius is nothing more than a feel-good, utopian slogan dreamed up by a bunch of mid-20th century radicals and hippies. Even now, many of us still scoff at the notion that any kind of positive change will happen just because some people said it WOULD happen. And while this might be the case for the moment, it is hard to ignore the fact that major changes are indeed underway all over the world, seemingly directing our attention to the idea that a “paradigm shift” of some kind is taking place.
