The book "Fractal Time-The Secret of 2012 and the New World Age" by Gregg Braden explores the discoveries of time as the means of communication from the past.
In addition, the book proposes that time defines the map to an individual's future and provides a picture of the world to come. The Mayans identify December 21, 2012 as the end of the world age, particularly to be attributed to the Winter solace. The cycle is predicted to have started in the 5th world age that is approximately 3114 B.C. This defines 1800 years prior the time of the exodus of Moses, which is around 5125 years ago. Parallel to the world-age the traditions of the Indians were passing on through oral traditions thus they may have lost their accuracy along the transmission. Therefore, the oral communications are dated back before the literature.

Objectives and Key Themes
The objective of this work is to explore Gregg Braden's concept of fractal time, as presented in his book "Fractal Time-The Secret of 2012 and the New World Age," and to analyze its implications for understanding human history and the future. The book proposes that the Mayan prediction of 2012 as the end of a world age represents not an ending, but a transition point, and that human choices can significantly impact the future.
- The Mayan prophecy of 2012 and its interpretation
- The cyclical nature of time and its influence on human events
- The concept of fractal time and its connection to the golden ratio
- The interconnectedness of human actions and the environment
- The power of human choice in shaping the future
Chapter Summaries
Chapter 1: The Mayan Prophecy and the Interconnectedness of Time: This chapter introduces Gregg Braden's work, focusing on the Mayan prediction of 2012 and its significance. It explores the cyclical nature of time, as understood by ancient cultures, and emphasizes the interconnectedness of events across different eras and geographical locations. The chapter highlights the impact of human actions on the environment and the global systems, illustrating how individual decisions have far-reaching consequences. The author posits that the end of a world age, as predicted by the Mayans, represents not a catastrophic end but a period of transition and potential renewal. Examples from various cultures and religions regarding predictions of the end of the world are cited to support the idea of cyclical change rather than finality. The chapter lays the groundwork for understanding how understanding time's cyclical nature offers an opportunity for positive change.
Chapter 2: Cycles, the Golden Ratio, and the Prediction of Future Events: This chapter delves deeper into the cyclical patterns found in nature, ranging from subatomic particles to galaxies. Braden's "Time Code Calculator" is introduced as a tool to illustrate these cycles and their impact on human events. The chapter explores the golden ratio (Phi/phi) as a mathematical principle underlying these patterns, and shows its presence in various aspects of nature, including human anatomy, architecture, and even DNA structure. The implications of these cycles for predicting future events and making choices that influence outcomes are discussed, emphasizing the iterative nature of cycles and the potential to shape future events by understanding our place within them. The concept of a "seed event," influencing subsequent occurrences, is explored as a key component of this cyclical model.
Chapter 3: The Convergence of Cycles and the Power of Human Choice: This chapter builds upon the previous chapters, exploring the convergence of various cycles as a time for significant change and new beginnings. It emphasizes the role of human choice and consciousness in shaping the future. The chapter highlights the importance of cooperation and a shift in self-perception to create a more positive and harmonious future. The author argues that by understanding and aligning ourselves with the cyclical patterns of nature, we can leverage these periods of convergence to let go of past negativity and create a more fulfilling future. The significance of adopting a collaborative worldview as opposed to a competitive one is discussed, emphasizing the potential for positive change through collective human action. The chapter offers a hopeful perspective, suggesting that the cyclical nature of time does not represent an inescapable destiny, but rather opportunities for transformative growth and change.
