Energy Shifts (6) – There Are No Limits To Growth
Introduction In this chapter, we will explore why humans are driven to such strong material growth and how we could transition to a less resource-intensive form of growth in light of future physical resource constraints. Given that humans are naturally driven to growth, how do we canalize our will to grow appropriately and in line with the new incoming energy of the age? Unconstrained Material Growth During a materialistic epoch, such as the one that we are in, it […]
Energy Shifts (5) – The Yin and Yang of Growth
In front of them lie the bright foundations of a New World. Those who have managed to traverse the Valley of Shadows in advance have become transformed by the process.

Energy Shifts (4) – What Does the Future Hold?
“It was halfway famine, it was halfway feast” [1]. This is the translation of the original Maya prophecy for Katun 2 Ahau (2012-2032).

Physical energy configurations, such as fossil fuel resources and renewable energies, will be factored in, and we will make predictions on how human beings are likely to respond to the challenges facing them in […]

Energy Shifts (2) – The Valley of Shadows in the Landscape of Light
** Note – this article refers to the Original Mayan Prophecies listed in Part 1 (updated) After Dark So-called “dark ages” are not only dark; they are also light.
