All of this news wouldn't necessarily need be worrisome. It is all part of life in the universe. The problem according to Dr Jose Arguelles's research is that Humans have deviated from natural law. That natural law is known as the synchronic order or the The law of Time which is the informing principle of all bodies in space whether atomic or orgasmic. The law of time give everything it's proper sequence in space.
Human civilization is anything but beautiful or harmonious.
The reason being that we live according to an artificial timing frequency that is held in place by the Gregorian calendar and the mechanical clock. We are out ,of phase, out of harmony, with the bio-sphere. Hence our destruction of it. The only solution to this problem is for humanity as a whole once again regain it's harmony with the rest of the earth. This is to be accomplished by rescinding the gregorian calendar and the mechanical clock in favor of real time as measured by the waxing and waning of the moon.
