Fractal Time
FRACTAL TIME (ESSAY)
Introduction
In his book, first published in 2009, 'Fractal Time: The Secret of 2012 and a New World Age’, Gregg Braden gave wonderful clues into what we would expect to occur in our world and universe by the year 2012. Though years have passed since the first publication of the book, the information in the book remains relevant to us today. Gregg labours to elaborate how it is possible to read the past in order to discover what the future holds for us in our world and universe, and amazingly, even in our personal lives and relationships. This paper is written in order to analyse the Fractal Time book to find out what practical lessons we can pick from it. Personal views on how to apply the concepts presented in the book will also be shared and where there is need, arguments will be aired out. As you read, I hope you will find how you can also make sense of the constant changes in today’s world. The essay will begin with defining key words vital to the topic under discussion, then give a brief description of the Fractal Time book. Following that, lessons will be extracted based on my personal views. Furthermore, ways in which we can apply the lessons as individuals or communities will be shared, and then out of concern, caution will be given on certain beliefs that can likely mislead the readers of the book. Finally, the conclusion will be drawn.
