Calendar Reform will free us from unnatural mind control tool.

Our current Calendar has become
a mental prision of Governmental
and religious mind control that is
outdated relative to our environmentally
threatened modern multi-cultural
world.
For centuries patriarchal religions and
governments have imposed order
on time to control and regulate us.
Instead of white blocks for
optimizing production, journey
around the months of the Cosmic
Wheel in colorful spirals of the
Great Mystery's Design. Like an eye
of God or window to Cosmic
Consciousness, the Cosmic Wheel
is the design of Conscious Revolution
for the Age of Aquarius when
mankind will learn to live in peace and
harmony with the planet.

Our  current calendar is an overlooked force in our lives because few of us ever stop to question the effects that it has on us and we fail to see the big picture.  We simply accept grade school teachings and memorize the names of the months, holidays and days as if it is some unchangeable ultimate truth.

      Many aspects of our calendar are outdated remnants of the Roman empire and the Roman Catholic Religion and have many repercussions on how society as a whole functions.  Few know that the months our actually named after Roman gods and goddesses and that July  is named after Julius Caesar and August after Augustus Caesar, thereby shifting the rest of the months.  The Latin meaning of the words is now wrong. September means “7^th month,” yet it's the 9^th month of the year; October means “8^th month,” yet it's our 10^th month; November means “9^th month,” yet it's our 11^th month; and December means “10^th month” yet it is the 12^th month. The names are now illogical and meaningless or celebrate gods and rulers that we no longer worship or admire.  (We could rename these to correspond to the growing cycle so that they would have meaning in our lives.  We could also have a calendar that has 12 months of 30 days each containing 5 weeks of 6days.  This would add up to 360day for the year and the other 5 days would be on Solstices and Equinoxes, that fall right at the end of the month in which they occur.  I call this the pagan or natural calendar.  To see a grapic of this go to      http://www.xyzworks.com/Cosmic/mandala.htm

    In addition, most Americans think of the Celts and Druids as only being from Ireland.  They are not aware that their own heritage may be Celtic and Druid because these people once existed in central Europe as far south as Germany before the Roman Empire conquered and converted most to Christianity.   It was the early Germanic peoples who celebrated the Solstice and brought the Evergreen tree into the home.  Stonehenge is an example of the Holy place being outside.  Christianity overshadowed their traditions, and that is why the words “Christmas” and “Solstice,” and “birth of the Son” and “birth of the Sun” sound so similar. Christianity removed nature as something to be reveared.   If we think of the Calendar in terms of the natural growing cycle, then certainly the northern hemisphere's Winter Solstice marks the point in time when the Earth begins to tilt back towards the sun on it's axis.  It is the true Solar New Year and return to the light. On the color wheel it would be represented as the first point where the cold Blue energy is turned to Blue Green by the influence of Yellow.   If we can accept that our current New Year is arbitrary and re-evaluate the whole year in terms of the growing cycle we come to see that our current calendar's white squared blocks of time known as weeks, are just man's invention to regulate production and that many of our Holidays have become commercial sales tools.

      Few of us now realize that when the Government gives federal employees one specific religious Holiday off, it is not fair to those of other faiths who pay taxes.   If the Government instead gave a religious holiday to the federal employees to use when they wanted, it would it alleviate congestion on our roads and at airports, and possibly keep Government offices open and be equitable in our multi-cultural society. It would allow families to decide when to celebrate their own traditions.

     The Cosmic Wheel Calendar is a new way to look at time, yet it is also a very old way to look at time.  To know and understand this calendar is to be part of the Conscious Revolution to heal multi-cultural mankind's relationship with the planet by reconnecting with our personal growth cycle and the natural growing cycle.  Revolution means to come back in a full circle, Conscious Revolution means to knowingly come around to a higher level, like a spiral. There is no reason we have to stay locked in an outdated view of time, but first we have to change the way we think about it!

Celebrating a different holiday schedule than the nation's standard circle of federal and religious holidays will definitely change the structure of the world-view.

Getting folks to do it is a bit of a job.

But it is a realistic plan, to try to persuade people to celebrate new holidays. It would work, as the years go by.

It's healthy for individual freedom, wether or not it could be done in a way to stimulate social changes, too.

After discussing the idea of a six day work week with a christian friend I was suprised to learn that she opposed the six day work week because she said that the Bible said that on the seventh day God  rested.   So because of that she said we have to have seven day work weeks.  I have always seen the 7 day work week as something invented by man.    It certainly has no connection to anything celestial.     If we did have the 6 day work weeks as purposed in the game of the four directions, then each month would always start on a monday.  It would certainly help people mentally.  Currently the months start days and ending days are always changing.  It is very confusing with a 7 day work week.   Personally I think a 7 day work week is too stressfull to people who work full time.
