This Book: What It Means Beyond 2012

Cycles of Change

daily life and lose track of time. One example is going to a local

grocery store to buy something that used to be readily

available. However, due to various factors, such as supply chain

disruptions and sudden changes in demand, the shelves may

now be empty, and finding what you need can take time and

effort. Similarly, buying a new car was simple - go to a dealer

and choose from various options. But now, with the increasing

complexity of car models and the rise of online sales, it has

become more complicated.

When it comes to healthcare, we rely on doctors to prescribe

medication that can cure ailments. However, in some cases,

medication may have side effects that can harm our bodies. In

today's world, where pandemics and health emergencies are

on the rise, there is talk of a vaccine that could be mandatory

and required to keep your job. This has led to debates about

individual freedom and public health, raising questions about

what caused this shift and when it happened.

The Mayan Calendar has three calendars: the Long Count, the

Tzolkin, and the Haab. Each calendar is cyclical, meaning a

specific number of days must pass before a new cycle begins.

The Mayan Calendar represents time cycles, and each cycle has

ended with devastating consequences. These cycles will

continue, one after another, and intertwine. Every 26,000

years, humanity "may" get another chance to make things

right. Until we do, or until we stop trying altogether, we will

continue to face the consequences of our actions.

Greed is a learned behavior and not innate, as many people

believe. "Survival of the fittest" is not genetic, but it is learned.

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues thatii

humanity faces today. Human activities have significantly

contributed to changes in the Earth's weather patterns and

temperatures, and we are all responsible for this. To make

matters worse, the pursuit of progress and control has led to

greed, drug addiction, and destruction. We must take

responsibility for our actions and make things right.

On June 20th, 1837, U.S. Army officers gave Native Americans

blankets infected with smallpox, and thousands died. Today,

the Mexican cartel is taking over the Blackfeet Nation with

drugs, continuing the cycle of violence and exploitation of

indigenous communities. We can no longer ignore these issues

and must take action to address them. Only when someone

stands up and says, "Enough is enough," will things begin to

change.
