The period of time between now and the year 2012 appears to be shaping up into a decisive time period when important choices will be made. This could be stated simply in response to events occurring across the planet this last twelve months, even without considering all the discussion given to the Mayan Calendar and the Dec.21, 2012 ‘end of times’ scenario. Perhaps that written regarding the change of human behavior has some validity.
"The Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same theme can be found reflected in the prophecies of many other Native American visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear." - Joseph Robert Jochmans
This concept, that we can make choices concerning our future destinies, is one found not only in Native American prophecies but is really an essential ingredient in all true prophetic pronouncements. True prophecy is meant to be a reflection on the hidden natures and motivations of human behavior, both individually and collectively, as well as the future options based on the human ability to make a choice.
