    About this series

    This work applies generational mapping to the Ancestral Pueblo, using 15-year intervals. Distinct phases, found in other cultures, will be tested as to their applicability. They include: 1) Invisible beginnings; 2) Establishment;  3) Novel Consolidation and Opening Up;  4) Crisis & Creativity;  5) Empire, or its rejection, and inclusion;:and  6) Renewal or extinction? These findings will help the reader grasp the temporal flow of the Indigenous Southwest, which might otherwise be piecemeal and lack clarity. We invite you to take a journey into Pueblo times and sense our solidarity with the Indigenous peoples.

      This work explores the use of a time chart based on generations as a way to understand history. A sole reliance on yearly dating tends to obscure the historical reality and deter us from further exploration. However, patterns are revealed if we number generations, and we become intrigued by the connections and hypotheses raised. The author uses 15-year intervals to date events and mark when people turn 30 and tend to enter history. The 15-year generational interval was first used by the medieval historian, Bede, and later advocated by Ortega E Gasset, a leading Spanish philosopher of the 20th century. In brief, the phases of history found are: 1) A partly invisible beginning phase; 0-15 generations; 2) An establishment phase at 15/20 generations; 3) A consolidating and opening up stage at 30 generations; 4) A crisis and creativity phase at 40 generations; 5) An empire and inclusionary phase at 50 generations; and  6) Renewal or rigidification phase at the 60 generational node. Importantly, special attention is given to the often neglected 30th generational period, in which an openess to beauty and light prevade. Interestingly, these phases also resonate with the human life cycle. The tour of cultures covered includes ancient Egypt, Israel-Judah, Rome, and the Medieval-Modern.  Taking us into contemporary times, America/United States is addressed in a second volume to this work.You are invited to go on an intriguing journey in which generational patterning becomes a Rosetta key for understanding history.

                         This work explores a generational history from America under the English and Spanish empires to the United States of contemporary times. A novel historical approach relies on generational markers every 15th  year, rather than yearly astronomical dates. This method makes history more accessible and its patterns or phasings more apparent. Identified from cultures presented in an earlier volume, the phasings are: 1) "Invisible" Beginnings; 2) Establishment and Testing; 3) Novel Consolidation and Opening Up, 4) Crisis and Creativity; 5) Empire and Inclusion, and 6) Rigidification or Renewal.This history does not seek to hide or obscure the shadow side of America, nor does it fail to present the considerable beauty and light present, especially during the 30s generational phase.           One discovery prompted by a generational time chart of U.S. history was to extend its temporal depth. From earlier cultures, beginnings and establishment have typically taken longer than the abbreviated time span suggested by the traditional early focus on New England settlement. This brought us to consider the unexpected and underestimated importance of New Spain with centers in the Caribbean and Mexico as vital to understanding U.S. History. A second and related theme is the inclusion of the Indigenous in American history. It became increasingly evident that  a complete U.S. history in terms of its past and future will not occur until the Amerindians, who were here for multiple cycles of history prior to European settlement, are more  fully considered. Their influence extends not only into the historical past but continues with unexpected force to this day.           Come journey with us as our historical story broadens. Experience historical events and people's lives generation by generation, and see how they resonate with historical phasing. Such expanded and focused awareness, the author contends, will help us to make the generational choice of our times.
