Jose Arguelles Obituary
His publisher and a statement from his foundation said he died March 23, in Australia. A spokeswoman for the publisher said Monday the cause was peritonitis.
On Aug. 16, 1987, thousands of new age adherents following the lead of Arguelles gathered at places such as the red rocks of Sedona, Ariz., Serpent Mound in Ohio and the Arthurian town of Glastonbury in England.
Arguelles was living in Boulder, Colo., and had written "The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology," which argued for replacing the Gregorian calendar, said Earth was in the last phases of a galactic beam of light it entered in 3113 B.C., and called for meditation to give humanity a chance to enter a new age in 2012.
At a mountain campsite, he blew a conch shell, and around the world others chanted, formed circles, held hands at dawn and danced in what one participant said was an attempt to change the worldwide consciousness. Debunkers ranged from academics to the "Doonesbury" comic strip.
Arguelles was born in Rochester, Minn., of Mexican and American heritage, according to autobiographical information released through North Atlantic Books. He taught art history and aesthetics at several universities.
Details about his activities in recent years were sketchy. He listed an address in Ashland, Ore., a town that has attracted new agers and where he had operated an art gallery.
Kat Engh of North Atlantic Books said Arguelles concentrated on his Foundation for the Law of Time, but she said the company didn't know where in Australia he died.
"He was referring to it as an extended retreat at an undisclosed location," she said.
A statement from the foundation said he was with his apprentice, Stephanie South, at the time he died and is survived by a daughter, his identical twin brother and a sister.

Electric Moon Day 10 - Kin 79. I'm reflecting on a post that I submitted in 2014 three years after Jose' ascended. The seaman without an anchor at the time was myself, outnumbered, endangered & out at sea in the 12:60 world (a war machine).
I came into contact with the spirit of the Chilam Balam through the Logos of the Word (power in prophecy) and ceremonies performed through Good Horse & Sweet Medicine Nation. Two Foxes Singing and the Tiospaye of Ablaeza located in West Linn Oregon 1993-1999, along with scores of dedicated people and practitioners exploring indigenous culture and healing arts, anchored the Foundation.
Jose's work, his influence, dedication, perseverance and good will super charged my life and the lives of so many others. He was/is such a powerful & timeless force of nature, reverberating close to home and actively throughout the universe; His measure of merits and magick are still forthcoming...
In front of every good man is a good woman - a rainbow nation of kindred souls with flaming HEarts - men who burn clean. I know that Jose' and Lloydine are proud of the way we have shared in their efforts to re-enchant the world and look forward to those peak moments when we all return to revel in the "way the west was won..."

I'm sorry that I just learned about the death of Mr. Jose Arguelles. I attended several classes of his in Art History at U.C. Davis, 1968-1970. He was one of the most popular professors in the Art Department and his classes were overflowing. He was very passionate about art and was able to share that love with his students. I have good memories of him.
Got it!

In the Overtone Seed Year 1995-1996 Jose' and Lloydine seeded Portlandia' into what it is today. A most profound genuis; without an anchor and no visible sign or cornerstone by which to apply "Thee Vision" - A Lone Ranger.

If there is one thing I learned from Jose Arguelles, it is that death is nothing more than the stepping from one wave to the next. Surely the act of a master of the zuvuya.

Beloved Family,
Mr Arguelles was a true inspiration to so many people. His spirituality and love of humanity were so profound. Truly his presence on Earth will be missed; however, his spirit will live on forever in all who seek wisdom, and practice the art of lovingkindness. Blessed be dear-hearts, and may you take comfort in all the cherished memories you have of him while he was physically present on earth.
April 12, 2011
Our world will miss you. Your quest for knowledge and peace will be remembered. May your soul be with us as we enter the New Age in 2012.

We are very sorry to hear of the loss of Mr Arguelles our condolences are with your family at this time. (Ps.34:18) Atlanta,Ga.

My condolences to the friends and family. At least we can be sure that Jose is no longer in any pain due to his illness.(Ecclesiastes 9:5) 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. We can take comfort in the fact that now his memory is in Gods hands.

Peace Be with you!

Lamento mucho escuchar de su perdida. Yo misma he perdido a seres queridos
en la muerte y he recibido consuelo de la promesa que nos da la Biblia. Juan 5:28,29
dice que Dios recusitara a nuestros seres queridos. Estamos viviendo en el tiempo en
que Dios pronto convertira el mundo entero en un paraiso donde no habra mas muerte ni
lagrimas (Revelacion 21:3,4 Salmos 37:10,11,29). Que felices estaremos al recibir
a nuestros amados para vivir en un paraiso en la tierra! Espero que estas promesas
le den consuelo y esperanza.

We will miss you, Jose - if not for those that explored. investigated and dreamed, none of the myths that were held as truths would have been revealed to be something else - thank you for your works and for opening eyes - if not for people like you in this world - we'd still be living in the Dark Ages - it is an open mind that will open minds and find truths.
Your admirer,
