Is Fallacy 2012 a spiritual Novel?
Posted By monica on September 23, 2010
Some of my readers see my first work as a spiritual novel. Indeed there are a lot of discourses about love, life and the sense of all of it and last but not least about the existence of a superior power, something like God, Allah, Shiva or Hunab-Ku. Does this make a story to a spiritual novel?
These questions follow some of us until the last day. And there is more the one answer to it. Whoever thinks that he/she has the only right answer to this multi dimensional question is not to be taken serious. I am not giving answers anyhow, I would like people to find their own and I am convinced that each of us can find them in ones own heart. Maybe it is a spiritual novel, for some readers it is a philosophical, other mainly see a love story and some like the political aspect of it. However, personally I call my stories sometimes spirituals novels, but at the end it is much more a story of a person that goes through a major process of personal development, with all its questions, hopes, needs, struggles, feelings and answers or solutions. My main target is to describe an inner process of deep awareness of oneself and of humanity. From that aspect you might call it a spiritual novel. For me The Shack, written by William Paul Young, is a typical example of a spiritual novel. Because the only question that is posed is, who is God and what is his job and what is ours.
If I am a Mayan expert? No, I am not. I am a writer, and I studied the Mayan Calendar carefulls and seriously because I was fascinated about their system of energy, their prophecies and the interpretations of some real experts. But it was interesting how I came to the subject and from where I got the inspiration. For some reason, sometimes things just happen to be, I took this book with me to a beautiful villa in the Toscany in Italy. And after having opened it, I could not stop reading until I turned the last page. It was the book of a real expert, Carl Johan Calleman. His description of the Mayan Calendar, an very complex system of energies that impact our behavior and more than that the outcome of our behavior was understandable and easy to read. His own work, in context of understanding the impact on human evolution, pulled me in totally. For two nights I found no sleep but did not get tiered either. Only when I decided to write an novel around this, I calmed down and started to write the other day. It took me three moth of recherché time and there much of writing the plot and another three much to edit and produce it. It was and wonderful time. And if someone gives it the name spiritual novel, I only feel flattered by that.
I must admit, that the awareness of the Mayan wisdom has changed my way of looking at the world and its evolution – it even has changed my life I must confess. Writing this book has given me so much more understanding for, who we are and what is happening in these days and years. I lost a lot of fear because I suddenly could look at things happening as milestones in a never ending process. Even if we did destroy our wonderful planet, it will not be the end of the world. The whole process also has waken-up another dimension of responsibility – my own responsibility to take action in several part of my and others life, and my importance as an individual in term of future and evolution of humanity.
If we look at the story from the perspective of the content that is based on the Mayan wisdom we could may by call it a spiritual Novel. However, spiritual novel or not, the Mayan Calendar is one of the pillars of this book. There for it is called Fallacy 2012. Fallacy, because 2012 will not be the end of the world, but possibly the beginning of a new development, away from pure egoistic targets towards more social and human models. Luxury and wealth have not brought the freedom that we thought. In contrary, we now are slaves of materialistic values and suffer of a lack of human values. The point of turn has come. And this is what Fallacy is all about. Sophia, the main character, meets a Mayan expert. She is careful, does not believe what Nathan is presenting her at first, but starts to follow his thought anyhow. At the end she finds out, that the Mayan Calendar underlines what a lot of philosophical science people tell as well, only that the Mayan said is more than thousand years ago. That is fascinating! Someone can call it a spiritual novel, but it is not a must.
