A Simple Truth: Find Your Destiny Using the 20 Day Symbols of the Aztec Calendar

In a time where people want to be happier, improve themselves and their lives, feel and look healthier, and find their destiny, there exists the need for information on how to find it.

A Simple Truth is that book that will help you find your purpose in life and gain a better understanding of yourself.

This calendar is the most accurate calendar in the world. The calendar was etched in stone under the instruction of a council that represented the area called Meso-America. They had thousands of years of research and study of the movement of the universe and our planet before they started carving this great work. A Simple Truth is not the definitive book on the full meaning of the calendar; instead it uses the 20 day symbols (which are located on one of the inner rings of the calendar) to help people find their destiny, which is where they will find their happiness or Tonalli.

The 20 day symbols will teach someone how to use their own ideas, to create and achieve new and great things for the benefit of the planet and everything around it, and to create beautiful things (flowers) to leave behind.

A Simple Truth is a tool/journal, designed to help a person form their own view of where they are and help guide them on their path to where they need to be; and to help them think about their life, family, community; and look at the world around them in a more thoughtful and connected way.

The symbols are going to be presented in an easy concept of the symbol. Each chapter will share information about the days as they are read on the calendar. At the end of each introduction there will be exercises followed by a number of blank pages to write your responses.
