TIME

verb: living, being, breathing, thinking, doing, talking etc., it all takes time. The very rich have money but no time, the very poor have time but no money. The middle class has nighter.

CALENDAR UPDATE

The calendar is till in progress, incorporating Gregorian calendar with my lunar-solar, 13 constellations including Ophiuchus / Serpent Bearer, thanks to Vyacheslav Kulanov (his YT channel is in Russian), I highly recommend to buy his three books with fourth on its way as well English translation.

I have decided to have two new years, why not, one is for the solar year starting on 24th of December, the other one is for tropical zodiac year starting on April 18th and too on 1st of April for the fools so to speak, but more seriously...

April is aligned with the beginning of Aries which represents the head in melothesia system, the zodiac man aka Israel aka Saturn aka Kronos of ancient Phoenicians of Americas, another story for another day, and the 1st zodiac month, Pisces being last where two fishes represent the two feet, hence the zodiacal new year, tropical not sidereal.

Then it is also corresponds with the biblical month Nissan which is in Spring and is first month of the ecclesiastical calendar vs Rosh Hashanah new year of Rabbinical Judaism celebrated on the first and second days of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, the seventh month of the ecclesiastical calendar and first month of their civil calendar, which is lunar.

Jewish year 5785 ends at sunset on Rosh Hashanah September 22, 2025, and the year 5786 then begins, since creation of the world no less. Jewish ecclesiastical calendar that is used in the old testament bible is numerical, with the first month, that is number one / 1, aka Nissan in Babylonian civil calendar, starts in Spring on the New Moon when the barley ripens in Israel / Palestine / Canaan / Phoenicia / Levant / West Asia / Promises Land / Holy Land. So it is observational vs mathematical as is the case with the Babylonian Rabbinical lunar calendar, hence the Babylonian names for their months. So it's not that simple or straightforward.

There are solar calendars, lunar, solar-lunar, tropical and sidereal, ecclesiastical and civil, with 12 or 13 zodiac signs, never mind the years count, which is also quite diverse. Then there is very old seven days of the week systen and even older Russian ten days a week system, with two summers a year; Man's Summer (Мужъе Лето) that starts on 1st March and Women's Summer (Бабъе Лето) that starts on 1st September. Check out Vyacheslav Kulanov (Вячеслав Куланов) who is an expert on this subject.

I am just trying to make sense of it all and I haven't even mentioned system of hours, minutes, seconds and how it all relates to the seven days week, Maya calendar system, and planetary associations. Then different forms of time, inner and outer, Chronos vs Kronos vs Kairos, perfect timing vs chronological, leaner vs cyclical, as related to the rate of change being perceived and accumulated memory, death and reincarnation, etc.

Time, fire, and measurements keeping is basically what the ancient priests did, also it was a form of government at that time. So yah, I can talk about the time until cows come home yet there is always hidden aspect of it beyond comprehension of mere mortals as it stretches into infinities and eternities in all directions, collapsing the infinite quantum probabilities into specific moments of expression and experience thereof.

As some have noticed the wheel is not finished, still needs some work but it is complete enough to give an idea or few.

LUNAR SOLAR CALENDAR (Update)

DAYS OF WEEK/STRONG

I have decided to keep the days of the week as they are, however to rename it strong or set (setdays setend), since it is the oldest unbroken cycle of continuous counting we have going back to ancient history no one is quite sure about where or how it started.

The counting from Sunday to Saturday as dsys of one week is carried forth by Jewish tradition which starts the week with Saturday and ends it with Sunday with each day divided into 24 hours with every hour identified by one of the seven planets, the Elohim, following a particular order, the first hour of the first day of the week is attributed to ... you guessed it, Saturn, then the second hour to Jupiter, third to Mars, fourth to Sun, fifth to Venus, sixth to Mercury, seventh hour is Moon, and the eighth is Saturn again. It then continies like this hour by hour cycles throughout the seven days before it is aligned once again with Saturday as the first hour of the first day.

I simply started my set counting from Sunday thus the strong ends with Saturday as the seventh day not Monday as the tradition has it. I think it is a matter of preference, albeit the planetary order is still a mystery: Sunday, Friday, Wednesday, Monday, Saturday, Thursday, Tuesday, and Sunday again etc. It is through the hourly rotation of this specific order of planetary markers of seven days cycle that gives us the familiar order of the weekdays/setdays: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday as the days of the first hour of the seven days 24 hours cycle.

LUNAR PHASES

I want to do another chart, and a physical prototype eventually, to include another ring denoting lunar phases, the synodic cycle, that can be rotated to align it with the calendar and add seven rings of 24 hour strong days to map the whole set for easy reference. Also to include four zodiac quarters of earth (Aries, Taurus, Gemini), water (Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn), air (Sagittarius, Scorpio/Eagle, Libra), fire (Virgo/Bakery, Leo, Cancer) with each period containing three signs. The single elemental symbols indicate the quarter with double elemental combo per zodiac sign.

"The synodic month (Greek: συνοδικός, romanized: synodikós, meaning "pertaining to a synod, i.e., a meeting"; in this case, of the Sun and the Moon), also lunation, is the average period of the Moon's orbit with respect to the line joining the Sun and Earth: 29 (Earth) days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.9 seconds. This is the period of the lunar phases, because the Moon's appearance depends on the position of the Moon with respect to the Sun as seen from Earth."

NATURE OF TIME

Anyway, just playing with the chronological time, Chronos as god of time who is merged with Kronos god of harvests, which makes sense as it takes some time and good weather. However little is said about his twin brother, or perhaps his hidden side, in Greek mythology known as Kairos, the inner time, the moment of perfect timing which has nothing to do with external markers but with internal clock, traditionally described as the time when someone decides to release an arrow for example or go whatever else outside the external chronological time.

Then too there is a perception of time. The less there is change the faster the time. When one is having fun, for example, time flies. However, when one is in bad situation, time slows to a crawl, moving painfully slow because it has to accommodate all the changes being percieved and processed. Then also how one sees oneself in the ocean of time can have a great impact. One can think that when one was born then is the youngest version of themselves who then grows progressively older in years of time, or one can see oneself to have been born into here and now, and as time passes one is still here and now where one's youngest self is, with the older self growing older back in time from now to when one was born, thus at fifty years of age one can see oneself being just born into here and now in Consciousness, the body changes in seven year cycles, every organ has it's own regeneration cycle, with the oldest memory of self back when one was born and not drugging the whole thing into here and now, which is where the brain is, biblical archetype as Abel), while the memory is held in one's mind (Cain). Hence Cain killing Abel as sons of Adam (body) and Eve (life) is a metaphor, well it can be interpreted as such, for the later developed mind is overtaking the attention of the brain focused in the here and now into there and then realm of the foggy past or uncertain future expectations and fears.

The lesson, moral, of the story is to stay focused in the now and do not kill your brain nor mind but have the two brothers work together as a team and loving family, without one dominating over the other. Anyway, it is what it is, whatever will be will be, che Sarah, only time will tell and heal all ill. Be well. Peace

SUPPLEMENTARY

CALENDAR UPDATE: ETHIOPIAN BIBLE -- THE FORGOTTEN COMMANDMENT

"Unlike manuscripts in Europe, which went through translation chains, Hebrew to Greek to Latin to vernacular languages, the Gerima Gospels were translated directly from early Greek sources into Gieze and then copied without revision, generation after generation.

"As such, they represent amongst the earliest versional witnesses to the early Byzantine text-type of the Gospels, and are the oldest surviving Ethiopian manuscripts of any kind known to modern scholars." Wikipedia: Garima Gospels

According to the book of Jubilees, preserved fully only in Ethiopia and in fragments among the Dead Sea Scrolls, Moses didn't just receive the Ten Commandments. He received a complete revelation of how time was structured in heaven, written, as the text says repeatedly, on the heavenly tablets. It was not symbolic, it was not cultural, it was law.

Commandment 1: Keep the Sekhmed solar year of 364 days. Jubilees 6:32-38 lays it out clearly. The year must contain 364 days. It must be divided into four seasons of 91 days each. Each season must follow a 13-week structure of perfect symmetry.

The first day of the year must always fall on Wednesday, the day God created the sun and moon in Genesis. This wasn't astronomy, it was theology. A calendar was a covenant.

Because 364 divides perfectly by 7, meaning every feast day, every Sabbath, every appointed time of worship would always fall on the same weekday every year. Divine order. No drift. No confusion."*

Interesting. Basically the Ethiopian bible, book of Jubilee, is proposing 364 day calendar in sync with the 7 days of the week, same as I have done with my calendar update for those who have been following the development, however, in order to sync it with the solar year of 365d 5h 49s or 365.25 while keeping the weekdays sequence intact I have proposed to add extra week(s) at the end of seventh year in the following sequence: after first set of seven years one extra week of seven days is added, then after second set of seven years another week is added, after third set of seven years then two weeks are added, after fourth set of seven years one week is added, after fifth set of seven years two weeks are added and after that the count goes back to the first set. Following the sequence +7y/+1w, +7y/+1w, +7y/+2w, +7y/+1w, +7y/+2w (repeat).

Without it the 364 day lunar calendar will drift 1.25 day a year vs solar calendar and thus the seasons. Anyway, I think it is interesting how the ancients coordinated their count of the seven weekdays, ten in old Russian solar calendar, with that of the lunar, solar, and lunar-solar calendars.

As for God creating sun and moon on Wednesday, I disagree. The scriptures say nothing about days of the week, what it does say that God has created the sun and the moon on the fourth day, thus presuming that since Sunday is the day of the sun being the fourth day, Monday therefore is fifth, Tuesday is sixth, Wednesday is seventh, with Thursday being the first day of Creation. That is if Sunday is the day when the sun was created taken as a starting point, and why the hell not.
