Reunion with the complexity of the universe

Abstract

Regarding the coincidences and relationships identified between ancient cultures and the contemporary theory of complexity, this article aims to generate cultural and communication reunions in order to fertilize unprecedented educational and research processes. To this effect, central aspects of the Mayan worldview are discussed as an understanding of the universe in the image of indivisible unity. In this sense, mythology, tradition, nature, universe, spirituality, culture, education are related in order to contribute to the emergence of contextual knowledge, nurturing sensitivities to be educated in the culture of the other. In this sense, embracing the diversity of life, concordances between the theory of complexity and the Mayan worldview are estimated in times when the civilization of having forges the traps of languages, the frauds of marketing, of greed, of ambitions, wars, ecological destruction, being necessary to encourage new visions of society and unprecedented mental experiences.
In this work, evoking the intense rhizome of reflection of the Mayan ancestors, we aspire to present an encounter, sober and simple, with the intimate life of the poetic spirit of their worldview. It is about the approach to a swing of immense aesthetic value, whose amplitude cultivates complexity, uncertainty, unpredictability and indeterminacy, in order to contribute to feel the palpitation of life.
