“Of all the unexamined assumptions and criteria upon which we base and gauge our daily lives as human beings on planet Earth, by far the greatest and most profoundly unquestioned is the instrument and institution known as the Gregorian Calendar.”

José Argüelles

Google is honoring today the Gregorian calendar on its homepage with a special “google doodle”…

What does the “all knowing” Google have to say about it?

WHAT WE ARE TOLD:

“From October 5–October 14, 1582, time was erased. Not literally, of course; just on the calendar. These ten days were declared non-existent by then-pope Gregory XIII as part of a realignment of the Julian calendar, implemented by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. In the mid-1570s, it was discovered that the Julian calendar was actually 10 days behind the seasons of the year. For example, Easter began falling later in the spring than it should have and eventually would have drifted into summer. The calendar creep was the result of the solar year (the time it takes Earth to make one revolution around the sun) being around 11 minutes shy of the full Julian calendar. To be precise, the solar year is actually 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds.

Pope Gregory saved the day (and season) by appointing a commission to solve the problem. It took five years, but eventually the group, led by physician Aloysius Lilius and astronomer Christopher Clavius, proposed eliminating three leap years every 400 years to keep the calendar on track. To transition to the Gregorian calendar, ten days were declared officially non-existent, with the day after October 4, 1582 declared October 15th. First implemented by Italy, Spain, and Portugal, the Gregorian calendar is today’s most widely used system.”

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED:

Now let’s examine the other side of this narrative as presented by Jose Arguelles on the document Summary Critique of the Gregorian Calendar:

“A calendar is an instrument of control. The two most significant calendar reforms in history were the Julian calendar reform of 46-45 B.C., and its successor, the Gregorian, in A.D. 1582. Julius Caesar’s motives had everything to do with his personal ambition and the conversion of Rome from a republican to an imperial form of government. Julius Caesar’s calendar assured it to be the basis of imperial dominance. The course of the empire utilizing the Julian and later Gregorian calendar has prevailed as the dominant force now inseparable from the course of history itself. The 445-day “year of confusion” (46 B.C.), which attended Julius Caesar’s reform, was matched by the second significant reform, the Gregorian, in which ten days were “lost forever,” between October 5-14, 1582, so that the calendar could “catch up” with the sun.

While European Catholic countries easily accepted the reform, Protestant countries grudgingly acquiesced.

 

 

Throughout the Americas, however, the Julian-Gregorian calendar was imposed as an instrument of power and symbol of dominance over the peoples the Europeans had conquered, including the high civilizations of the Maya, Inca, and Aztecs—all of whom happened to use, among other calendars, a Thirteen Moon/28-Day count. As with Julius Caesar, for Pope Gregory XIII the moment was politically ripe for a reform that would communicate itself as a means of expressing and extending power and control, but this time over the entire globe. As European dominance and control spread around the planet, even nations with their own established timing systems accepted, for the sake of “international policy,” the Gregorian (Julian) calendar system for measuring the solar year. And so Western dominance over every aspect of global life became absolutely assured—until the moment of the “Inevitable Event” [9-11-2001].

 

 

From its roots in the imperial ego of Julius Caesar to the timely “reform” of Pope Gregory XIII, it is not surprising that this calendar, “despite its odd quirks and the twists of history that produced it,” (Duncan, Calendar, p. 289) has become the standard of global civilization. Given the irregularity of the Julian-Gregorian calendar and the pursuit of the accuracy of astronomical time, history could be nothing more than a compilation of odd quirks and twists, while global civilization itself is the triumph of artificial time over the natural world. Only a species whose time sensibility had been captured by instruments of artificial measure could have become so alienated as to have produced the monstrous conundrum known as the “fast world,” a civilization where money and technological advance prevail over human sensibility and the natural order. It is toward the correction of this destructive momentum that all efforts of calendar reform must now be directed.

In light of this critique, it is worth reprinting the opening section of the “United Manifesto by Advocates of Calendar Reform” that was first published in 1914 at the beginning of the First World War—some ninety years in advance of the Great Calendar Change of 2004. It can be seen that the issues of irregularity that prompted reform then are still issues today. However, the effects of not attending to these issues have only become compounded and even more complex, resulting in the chaos of a world at war with terror. Such is the nature of an error gone uncorrected over time—it only becomes more entrenched and turns into the dogmatic and hopelessly conflicted thinking of the everyday mind and its way of life.

United Manifesto by Advocates of Calendar Reform

WHEREAS we,
the undersigned, have for some time been interested in a Reform and Simplification of the Calendar now in use in Western Europe, America, and elsewhere, with a view to equalizing the four quarters of the year, alleviating the irregularities of the months, and establishing a perpetual correspondence between the day of the week and the day of the month, and have supported one or other of several proposals which have been formulated for effecting these reforms; and WHEREAS said proposals usually provide for placing the 365th day of every year and the 366th day of Leap Year without the weekly and monthly enumeration; and WHEREAS we have found that in certain quarters—both ecclesiastical and scientific—objections, possibly often sentimental, but none the less firmly held, have been stated to the employment and adoption of these expedients … Therefore we have resolved to unite in urging and advising that the very simple changes under noted should now be made in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars by international agreement …”  (Philip, Reform of the Calendar, 101-2.)

“If you have a crooked standard of measure, and follow it because your parents were also following it, you have become a crooked man. It takes a crooked man to walk a crooked mile and build a crooked house. The issue of calendar reform is both logical and moral. Bad logic leads to bad morality. An error in time dooms the mind. Apocalypses are the reward for bad timekeeping. To remove yourself from the fires of your own self-created apocalypse, change your calendar. In a world of harmony there is no apocalypse.

It is of utmost importance that the knowledge of time as the 13 Moons in Motion be disseminated through all media and education systems of the planet as rapidly as possible, and that the Gregorian calendar be relinquished as soon as possible. Once humanity is operating on the correct standard of time, it will have a proper basis of unification for accomplishing the enormous and heroic task that now challenges it. Greater than any spiritual teaching is the gift of time.”

“In order to prepare the ground for a proper consideration of the Law of Time and the evolutionary necessity of the synchronic order of time as the harmonic reorganizing factor of humanity in its post-historic phase, it is necessary to expunge from the mind the error known as the Gregorian calendar.”

Summary Critique of the Gregorian Calendar

434 YEARS LATER: HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF…

The “architects” of the artificial time matrix seem to be working very diligently in reinforcing the enslaving mechanism that has been operating on the planet since the times of the Spanish Inquisition:

“Saudi Arabian civil servants will lose 11 days of pay after the country switched to the Gregorian calendar, the predominant format for organizing time in the West. The switch is part of austerity measures meant to curb the budget deficit.”

EMANCIPATE YOURSELF FROM MENTAL SLAVERY:

“I am just sharing these analogies and examples to make you realize how much your mind is controlled by the kind of time you live by. The line from the Bob Marley song says, “Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our mind. Have no fear for atomic energy. Because none of them can stop the time.”

If you think you are free but there is one dogma you haven’t examined much less eliminated, how can you say you are free? But if that dogma were pointed out to you and you still wanted to be even more free, wouldn’t you do something about it? Or would you be lazy, and say there is nothing I can do about it. But what if there is something you can do about it? What if emancipating yourself from mental slavery meant you had it within your power to stop the time, and maybe even stop the atomic energy? Wouldn’t you want that power?”

 

 

“If the Julian/Gregorian calendar was to be offered as a new device for measuring time, we, with our present knowledge and state of living, would reject it as some- thing utterly impracticable, lacking in harmony and order, unbalanced and irregular, too clumsy a calendar to make calculations by, while the various sections are not comparable.”

“A science or any scientist that unquestioningly follows the Gregorian calendar is, in reality, not worthy of the name. What is science? A concern for logic and precision of measure, we might answer, as well as standards of measure that utilize uniform units of measure in accord with what is being measured. Yes, the year is calculated as being 365.241299 days in length, but if the annual standard of measure that is used is irregular and unscientific, then it avails nothing, and indeed deforms the mind leading it down byways that may only end in self-destruction. Thus the pursuit of a true and accurate year in itself may be an illusory pursuit, blinding us to the actual nature of time, and leading us away from a genuine understanding of ourselves and our role and purpose on this Earth.

To change and replace the calendar with the thirteen moon standard is to return us to our original purpose, leading us back to pathways of harmony and natural health. According to the Law of Time, the damage already inflicted in the time humanity last hesitated and lost the chance to alter its timing frequency, forty years ago, has been incalculable. The final opportunity to change the calendar and the timing frequency is now upon us. Because of this we must be very clear and unshakable in our understanding and determination to expose and eliminate the current civil calendar for once and for all. […]
