Article I. Commission on Time

Preamble

In order to return to an original wisdom and safeguard the future evolutionary unfoldment of the human species, we, the people of planet Earth, call for the establishment of a harmonious measure of time.

To prevent the further desecration of the biosphere, this measure must reflect the natural pulse of the planet.

Time is primarily a function of consciousness and has a much richer structure than can be modeled with the linear geometry of three-dimensional space. Our analysis demonstrates that the mechanical clock and the Gregorian Calendar are artificial and entropic time-templates the following of which has a discordant effect on the conduct of the human mind, adversely influencing the entire fabric of global civilization. This adverse influence is due to the way that the species-wide use of these humanly contrived time-defining systems throws the patterns of human life out of phase with the life-giving rhythms of the biosphere as a whole, effectively disconnecting humanity from nature.

The Calendar of Peace catalyzes a global shift in consciousness by the harmonization of the human species with the natural order of its life support systems.

In the course of our research we have become convinced that to elevate the quality of human experience and deepen our reverence for all life, the realm of natural time must be entered wholeheartedly.

To live and grow in natural time we declare to be a universal human right.

Referendum on Time

The first stage in initiating reform of civil society to the standards of the Calendar of Peace is the establishment of the necessary Councils to implement the following tasks:

1. The production and global distribution of a generic thirteen moon 28-day calendar, including the 260-day Tzolkin as a demonstration of how the thirteen moon framework can be used to integrate any spiritual and cultural tradition into the world Calendar of Peace.

2. The creation and publication of manuals for local, bioregional conversion, and implementation of the thirteen moon Calendar of Peace.

3. The creation and dissemination of computer operating systems compatible with the thirteen moon 28-day measure.

4. To actively seek material and financial support for these initiatives.

5. The establishment of a global network of bioregionally organized Councils to discuss and explore the emerging new science of time. Each Council will meet regularly in accordance with the Calendar of Peace in their own bioregions and will share their findings with all other Councils at the end of each thirteen-week quarter. Publications and findings will be issued annually to support the awakening global culture of peace.
