Past Influences / Ancient Lessons - Revised Edition

By Alan Tupicoff / Sam (Siamndoyo)

WOW - The 20's have become a decade of. Climate Change and a Global Pandemic, what more has this decade got for humanity? Maybe humanity can again take control of its destiny with nature.. Today, there are indications that humanity may finally be starting to stop and review our past, perhaps the Pandemic was the reminder that humanity needed. The world is starting to accept that Climate Change and Sustainability are real issues and need to be addressed and incorporated into all of our normal lives.
What this realisation has failed to understand is that humanity has had this experience in the past. Why didn't humanity learn the lessons? Perhaps, we need to appreciate every day, that much of what we do today is founded on our collective past.
The past is our foundation for our present lives and for OUR combined futures. To assess where we are now and where we can be in the future, we must reflect and understand our environment. We live in our environment which our ancestors understood how it all interacts and achieves a balance. They understood that without respect and balance for the environment, life was difficult.
Some will say that our lessons were given to us by the gods, but in reality, it does not matter where the lessons came from, its how humanity has understood the teachings / lessons and how they have been passed down through the generations so that it continues to improve our collective lives. We all need to appreciate that we are the products of generations and past influences. There also needs to be an appreciation of the obvious facts, not all our foundations were always "positive" but rather a mix which include "negative" aspects of all history and it's the combination of the Positives and the Negatives AND how we deal with them, that mould are current lives. Since the dawn of humanity, there has been - by necessity - a bond between humans and nature, and without an understanding of nature, the ancients would not have survived. The "Past Influences - Ancient Lessons" are everywhere in our world, but are they understood or "ignored"? When we stop and look at those traces, there is an unquestionable acknowledgement of what they did and the impact they have had on every aspect of our life, including: - culture and heritage - language - planning & architecture - agriculture -diet & wellness - education & skills development - housing - commerce These are all aspects of sustainability - were they practicing sustainability in the past and we are just rediscovering their innovation? Whilst the world now seems to be awakening to the reality that sustainability is perhaps the biggest single factor affecting global economies, environmental survival management, and human development, there still remains a lot of resistance to change. Unfortunately, 2020 bought the world, the global pandemic "Covid19" and the BLM "Black Lives Matter" movement which have created unrest, uncertainty, disruption, but has it happened before? A reminder that Nature has been showing us Sustainability for centuries - all we needed to do was look and learn. The Past has influenced our present, and together they will aid in establishing our pathway to the future.

Hopefully this book will help to reawaken the memories of what has been and enable an understanding that if we work together (including with nature), we can pass on to the next generation a global home that is still in reasonable condition. Our learnings were a gift from our past. Our next generation is learning from us.

Together humanity needs to get together and move forward. Collectively, our past has given us lessons and learning that will assist us. Our past is our DNA. Our present will be the next generations "PAST". They are learning from us - so lets learn from our past NOW.
