I dont understand something.
‘’ Everything that a society, a culture or a people does is programmed into the calendar.’’
Why is it so important that the more accurate calender comes in to place?
If I’ve read the article right, it is ,in our time, about the dissapereance of the ‘‘time is money’’ era.
But if all the people in the world now would all change there calender into the mayan calender, that wouldnt change a bit? It would still be night and day, people would still find a way to make a new routine in the new calender.
I also think, that we cannot ever breakdown our civilisation that we have build today. If we would want ‘‘time is art’’, we would have to break down every building, every thing that is influential with global warming. No cars, no TV, no traveling with airplanes. We would miss so much, I dont think that people could take the steps to start all over again. We are just too spoiled for our own good in that way.
If we would want to start all over again, a lot of people must die. Maybe thats the use of an semi-apocalypse?
I think it was a great read, but I am very sceptical when it comes to text like this that you find on the internet. It is so easily adjusted by rumours and believes.
If I had the guts to do it, I would get that book from the pope “The Relation of the Things of Yucatan” and see if there is a big difference in this story and the one in that book.
I just had a crazy thought.
So it is really fortunate that 2012 is such a short time away because we have hit an exponential curve. The 9-11 was the puncture in the technosphere that said, “You have reached your limit, you better start rethinking how you are doing things.” We think that this person was responsible or that person was responsible or the al-Queda or the CIA or whoever did it—but the fact is that from a higher point of view that was an inevitable event. It was an inevitable event because the human species had reached the limits of its growth of devouring the biosphere, its natural habitat. A signal was sent then through the civilization to indicate that that moment had come. We could have had any number of reactions at that moment. We could have said, “Wow are we so bad that we caused other people to do that to us?” or “Why did this happen?”
What if the neo-conservatives, al-Queda or another group did this just to give this warning? Or was this another prophecy?
I really dont understand how people could make prophecy’s like that. Im gonna dive into this prophecy thing.
Im not sure, but I guess prophecy’s are made by people making prophecy’s (duh), some will fail and some will be right. If one person makes a lot of prophecy’s and only 3 have come true, then the failed prophecy’s will be forgotten and the prophecy’s that are yet to come will be believed.
This is al a bit confusing. I am going to re think everything.
