“Humanity must shift from living on the earth to living with her”

| Another picture of a hand holding a baby earth. Nevertheless ... the earth is still in our hands. |
It’s a
profound and eloquent statement which befits our current consumerist culture in
the developed countries.
We are less
than 9 months away from, according to the people of one of the greatest
cultures in the world, the Maya, the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle.
According to
the Maya December 21, 2012 marks the end of the fourth cycle known as the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar – a
non-repeating calendar used by several Pre-Columbian
Mesoamerican
cultures, most notably the Maya.
Hollywood has
cashed in on the mystery surrounding this date, with its over-the-top
apocalyptic doomsday disaster movie 2012 which screened in cinemas three years
ago. Other theories range from mass alien contact to galactic alignments.
